Oh please, Br'er Fox, don't throw me into the briar-patch.”
So goes the line from the old American and long ago Disney-ized folk tale Song of the South by Joel Chandler Harris. The rabbit pleads with the fox not to throw him into the briar patch. The fox does just what he is asked not to do - and thus tossed into the thicket where rabbits thrive, the rabbit escapes. Laughing all the way.
The scene comes to mind with the news that Univision has abruptly told Donald Trump that they will no longer carry the Trump-owned Miss Universe pageant. Why? It seems that the network is displeased that in his announcement speech The Donald said:
When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.
The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Another article Trumps just posted on twitter:
If he is going to spend his money then he isn’t going to quit.
I was a bit surprised when he decided to run and actually mean it.
Been feeling your IQ points dropping lately?
I have.
*lunatic giggle*
LBJ bullied his way to the top. If you look at most successful people and groups, they are every aggressive. Look at the queers. Didn't Obama tell his supporter to "get in their face?"
The Blacks get what they want because they threaten violence.
The people who people who say "I'm not going to stoop to that level" usually end up getting kicked in the teeth.
I wouldn’t go into a Starbucks if their coffee was free.
They can have their overpriced burnt coffee, and their liberal sermons, too.
The coffee at McDonalds for a dollar is just fine.
Mention of LBJ on this thread - not by me - draws me to thoughts of Califano’s book, which I read recently.
Most American Presidentts have one or two pieces of legislation that are “theirs.”
LBJ had almost a hundred.
He trampled on the Constitution, yes, but he was in a clear line. Sometimes I look at the stars and the other day I thought of Orion’s belt: Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevely, Lyndon Johnson.
So: how did they do it?
BY FORCE OF WILL.
Moxie. Chutzpah. Determination.
In a word:
BALLS.
Trump has ‘em.
Cruz, who is smarter than Trump and would be a better President, has ‘em too.
Do you?
Does the “GOP”?
Do WE?
There are a lot of successful idiots in the world. They have one thing in common - they are aggressive. They push people, and the people surrender rather than fight.
Actually, it's better.
Yes. This is going to get more and more interesting.
I am.
I don't buy their overpriced products ever, but I have, on occasion, bought Christmas gift certificates from them for some of my pinhead friends and family who patronize the chain.
No mas, no mas, nada!

Cruz/Trump 2016
LBJ wasn't kidding when he said of his Great Society We will have those N_ggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years!
The Viet Nam war wasn't about winning. It was about making lots of money for the folks who make weapons of war and sell them to the government.
As the family of Henry Marshall can attest.
It's great when the unaccountable overlords in black robes issue their irreversible and unchallengable commands in the way you like. Tyrants only look like tyrants to people who don't benefit from their tyranny.
I don’t think Cruz is any different than the rest of them. I think he was assigned to play the role of the people’s hero.
It’s like a balm.
I would consider voting for the Donald just because he fights back, and fights to win, unlike most of our linguini spined “parliamentarians”.
Donald would gladly “LOSE” (any political battle) if he made a few billion in givernment largesse..
He’s a fascist..
Yeah if you’re dumb (or should I say dumm?) enough to fall for it.
No way Trump would play second fiddle to Cruz.
