I read an article today about Trump and Kristi Noem, and a cannibal detained by ICE who started eating himself, all while they toured the new Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention center in Florida.
There were jokes about how any escapees needed to run zig-zag away from the center, making it harder for the local gators to catch and eat them. Laugh, laugh, chuckle, chuckle from Trump and the others there.
But this isn’t sick humor, this is local and federal governments working together to house all those vicious immigrants needing deportation.
Like that cannibal, mentioned by Kristi Noem. You know, the ones in the stories we read from 150 years ago, that left shrunken heads on poles to keep the colonials away. And those today who viciously cut our artichokes and tomatoes and attack our gardens with weed whackers. You know, real criminals.
I’m sorry, but where the F**K are we?
Is this America? Officials laughing about alligators eating humans.
Politicians counting the disadvantaged who will die younger because there’s no medical care for them and concluding that the loss ratio is within an acceptable range.
As long as we can watch Jeff Bezos spend $45 million on a wedding for 200 guests and dream about one day being as rich as him.
Is this the America our parents and grandparents fought and died for?
Well, shoot, if it isn’t, then forget about the above. My mistake.
I thought maybe I missed something. You know, the whole reason for the Statute of Liberty and all those cool stories about immigrants finding greatness in America.
My bad. I must be confusing this with someone other time. Maybe Europe in the 1930s.
Politicians representing 330 million Americans wouldn’t do this kind of stuff. Would never stoop this low. It just would never happen.
Forget I wrote this.
Joe, I haven’t read you in a while and this did not disappoint. You tell it like it is.
Your newsletter describes how I’m thinking about the state of affairs now, too. This bizarre feeling of “Are we living in a dystopian movie that doesn’t end?” isn’t one I ever imagined. Everything has been flipped on its head from what our country was founded upon.
