Dreaming of A President With Human Decency
This week, it’s all about DACA. Dreamers.
Young children brought to this country by their parents, generally. Kids who grew up here, speak English like you
and me, buy their crap at Walmart, who work and pay taxes and go to school and
know little about their “native” countries – because they’re never really been
there. As American as you or me in every
way except one.
They’re undocumented.
The last president – remember the black
dude? – signed an executive order protecting them. Hooray, black dude. Congress, as usual, sat on their fat asses
and couldn’t reach an agreement, so Obama gave them protection. It was the decent, compassionate thing to
do. Everyone knows that.
Then along comes Trump, who has apparently
sworn a blood oath to undo everything Obama ever did. He gives no thought to whether it might be a
good thing. If Obama did it, he’s going
to undo it. Period. Trump has the compassion and human decency of
a fucking blue crab.
So all this talk these last two weeks of
Trump wanting to fix DACA and protect the dreamers? Get the fuck outta here. Let’s remember: Trump was the genius who nixed the Obama EO
and put them in the crosshairs.
Trump. No one else. Trump.
He doesn’t give a flying fuck about the people at risk. He doesn’t even understand how the government
might work together in order to find ways to protect the dreamers. Nor does he care. He undid what Obama did. THAT is the important thing. Rip up the EO, go play golf, make outrageous
statements (false, generally), insult some minorities, eat some KFC – but do
the job he was elected to do? Fuck
me.
So over the next few days, as we face a
government shutdown and throw a few million human beings out of their homeland,
keep in mind who done what and why.
Oh, and – fuck you, Donald Trump. Fuck you very much.
