Why Would They Do THAT?

The other day, Wednesday, in fact, Donny said he didn’t understand why the US doesn’t get immigrants from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, or the like. He was blaming Biden for his own failures in a speech on inflation, so how he rambled over to immigration is anybody’s guess but there he was, bitching about people who come here from impoverished nations and wishing they would come from, well, you know, whiter places.

“Why is it we only take people from shithole countries, right?” he asked the audience. “Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden? Just a few.” At another point he added: “Do you mind sending us a few people? Send us some nice people… But we always take people from Somalia. Places that are a disaster, right? Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime.”

Okay, so it’s pretty obvious he wants more white people to come here and fewer not-white people. So far, the only group he has supported immigrating to the US is white Afrikaners, from South Africa. South Africa is a poorer country. It’s considered “emerging.” That’s the term for a country that is no longer Third World, but doesn’t yet measure up to First World.

One in five people in South Africa live in desperate poverty. That sounds like a shithole country, to me, but he’ll accept the white folk, anyway. So if he’ll accept white folks from shithole countries, then it seems the “shithole country” part has less to do with it and the “white” part has more to do with it. Feel free to toss “racist” on Donny’s pile, no, mountain of sins. But, just for fun, lets pretend it’s not just dripping racism and he really, honestly wonders why people from, say, Denmark, don’t try to come to the US.

Have you looked around recently? Look, if you live in a place that is “filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime,” the US might still look pretty good to you. But why would you want to come to the US from a decent, civilized, First-World country? At BEST, the US gets it’s own, new designation: we’re a “Submerging Nation.” That’s a country moving OUT of First World status and into something… less developed.

I’ve looked around at my fellow Americans. In a lot of cases, I could see Scandinavians coming to the US to visit, like people go to the zoo to see the monkeys. Will we actually throw our poop at the wall? Sadly, we might. That’s pretty much the level of intellect of about a third of Americans today. Yeah, I can see them coming to witness the freak show first-hand. But to come here to stay?

Why would anybody walk away from their much, much better lives in their Social Democracies that provide for the largest number of people, and trade that in for the realities of the daily life struggle in the US? So, yeah, if you come from Afghanistan, Haiti, or Somalia, the US probably still looks pretty good to you. But if you know what a First World, civilized nation should look like? The US is little more than an oddities stop on a visit – and even that is becoming less and less true…

It’s just so…trumpian. It’s Donny all over. Classic 47. He creates problems with his impulses. Sometimes quite large problems. THEN someone explains to him why he can’t do what he’s trying to do, then he tries to fix the problem. Then, of course, he wants credit – maybe even an award – for undoing the damage he did in the first place.

A Washington DC non-profit has filed a lawsuit against Donny over the destruction of the East Wing of the White House. The East Wing of the White House is going to be a little harder to fix, having been completely demolished with no permits and no plan going forward. I mean, sure, he has concepts of a plan but no architectural drawings. The architect had a sense of taste and decency and, as we all know, Donny can’t stand that. Donny ONLY understands disgustingly gaudy and grossly ostentatious.

So, despite the fact that the ballroom is already much larger than the White House, itself, Donny wishes it was bigger. (Gee, projection much?) The architect and Donny “debated” the topic for a short time, then Donny fired the architect he had hand-picked for the project.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued The Felon yesterday, seeking to halt his barfroom project until it receives congressional approval and undergoes independent reviews. Yes, this could be an example of over-regulation but the US Capital has been a designed space since it’s inception. There are rules about building styles and such.

The ONLY thing I want to see happen with that ballroom once Donny has shuffled off this mortal coil is to knock the effing thing down and put the East Wing back. We’ll want to hide every aspect of our nightmare under the moron and knocking down that garish monstrosity will be an excellent place to start. Then again, maybe people can block the thing from being built at all. That would make it easier to put things back to right once he’s gone…

The GOP in the House have finally released a “health care plan.” The main points? ‘Try not to get sick and, if you do, be a billionaire.’ That seems to be the key to survival in this once-great nation, ‘be a billionaire.’ If YOUR daddy wasn’t rich, what the heck is wrong with you? All you’re going to need is a job that pays $480,769.23 an hour and you’ll make it in no time. And our dumbass misleader wonders why people won’t immigrate here from better countries…
