Capsules of Trumpdom

This crap about having cops enforce immigration laws--as if they don't have enough to do. Please, Donald, let them concentrate on keeping the peace and solving crimes.

Fiorella is disturbed by Trump's isolationist agenda.The more the United States stands alone in the world, the less influence it has on the world. And the more the United States is at odds with Mexico and Canada, its immediate neighbors, the less attention it will pay to shenanigans across the sea. Hello, Vladimir.

Donald is trying to divert attention from his low inauguration turn-out and Conway's laughable invention of the term "alternate fact" by projecting again, talking about the election being rigged against him when it was actually rigged in his favor, just like he was the one guilty of all the accusations he hurled at Hillary. MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL/ WHO'S THE UGLIEST ONE OF ALL?

Trump supporters are aping their glorious leader's blood thirst. Vituperation and vengeance are the name of the game, and Fiorella has been one of its targets. It's hard to remain on the high road when the low road is so very low.

According to news leaking out of DC, the troops are not that happy. Maybe a palace coup is in the offing. We can only hope.

Sense vs. Santorum

Ah, the political season--Fiorella's favorite fodder.

According to columnist George Will, Rick Santorum perceives himself as appealing to "the approximately seventy percent of Americans who don't have a college degree and are competing with the unskilled workers who are coming into this country," which is why Santorum proposes cutting legal immigration by twenty-five percent.

First of all, is Santorum is so stinkin' rich that he thinks seventy percent of Americans are competing to cleans sewers?

Second, how obtuse, simplistic, and out of touch can you get?  A college degree is no longer--if it ever was--a sine qua non to financial success.  In fact, with the way college loans are oppressing current-day graduates, the degree-holders may NEVER get out of debt.

Third, how insulting can you get?  Anyone who's wise in the ways of computers, even if he/she hasn't graduated from high school, can make a mint. Then there are all sorts of occupations--writing, the trades, entrepreneurship, the arts--that can at least pay the bills, and sometimes a lot more.  And Fiorella doubts that any of these people so employed feel threatened by "unskilled workers."

Fourth, Santorum's solution to this non-problem--cutting legal immigration by twenty-five percent--is laughable.  Why does he think legal immigrants are all aiming at low-level jobs? Those jobs are going to illegal immigrants, who are grateful for every opportunity they can get and  work hard to earn their places in the land of opportunity.

More power to them.  They're a lot brighter than Rick Santorun.
