Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Here Comes The Fear Again


(Or maybe I should say "still," since the fear-mongering never stops with the Blunt Orange Object.)
_______________________________________________

It's the tried-and-true recipe for right-wing turn out:

1.  Take one or two gut issues of the moment, say, immigration and transgender rights.
2.  Stir in large quantities of fear and hatred, seasoned with inflammatory exaggerations and absurd lies.
3.  Half-bake on Fox News for a couple weeks and -- voila! -- foamy-mouth morons who believe anything will show up to vote.

Cheeto Benito's latest hot takes, now in heavy rotation:

The thousands of Central American refugees heading northward into Mexico are a "caravan of illegal alien criminals" for which "Democrats are to blame."  "Democrats will give them free welfare, free healthcare, free education, a driver's license, a Rolls Royce, and the right to vote."  The Tiny-Fingered Vulgarian also claims that "people in California are rioting to get out of their sanctuary cities."

All lies, 100% fact-free, not to mention impossible.  But be afraid!  Brown people are on the move!

The fake president also says he'll send the military to stop them at our southern border -- "Not the National Guard, the Armed Forces!"  Donnie Dipstick's gotta a hard-on to blow up some scary Honduran mothers and children.  Yee-ha!  We don't need no stinkin' wall!  We got the Army Navy, Air Force and Marines, and they're ready to kick some little brown ass!

And his Dept. of Health & Human Services would like to refuse services to some humans by redefining one's sex/gender as "immutable and fixed at birth."  Oh, fuckin' c'mon!  There is literally no reason for this other than to be cruel, to pander to the stupid fears of stupid people who are afraid of trannies in the bathroom.  As far as I'm concerned, Laverne Cox and Chaz Bono can pee wherever they like.

Reject the fear and the lies!  Vote!

    Great!
    Border Patrol will deliver all of them to your home. I have no doubt a distinguished intellectual elite such as yourself will be able to personally provide for all their needs.
    Remember, charity starts at home.

    If you allow a Honduran family seeking asylum to enter the U.S and come to my door, I will indeed take care of them.
    That OK with you, Ace?
