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.

Once you have a job in Washington, you can win by losing.
When it comes to fighting to win, I don’t think there’s ever been a political candidate who can match Trump, at lease according to the scorecard by which most people judge “winning”.
I thought the way to fight was to cower and kowtow. You'll lose both the fight and your dignity, but you might get a free flight on Air Force One. But then I live dangerously close to the Boehner zone.
Doesn't Donald actually own Mexico? If not, he should. Maybe then they would stop shipping their unemployable criminals and peasants to us. Oh wow! Heaven forbid!
LBJ was able to win a lot. And he was brutal.
After the insane events of the past week, I now rule nothing out. Trump as president doesn't sound as crazy as it did a few weeks ago.
LBJ was a cheat
next...
LOL!
I had to smile all the way through the article. Thanks for posting it. As to the Trumpophobes on FR, isn’t this a relief from the Harvey Milquetoasts of the GOPe?
I would consider voting for the Donald just because he fights back, and fights to win, unlike most of our linguini spined “parliamentarians”.
Trump just posted this on twitter:
80% Of Central American Women, Girls Are Raped Crossing Into The U.S.

This is becoming a ‘sticky wicket’ for Libs and cowardly Rinos too.
Addressing myself to Univision's poor victimized golfing executives: "Hey, you idiots, remember the old saw: 'Good locked fence-gates make good neighbors' ".
Hah, hah, hah, hah....
Go, Donald!
He couldn’t win the Vietnam war!
Obama ran against himself last election and won.
The whole of American voters are truly idiots.
I’d also like to see how Starbucks is faring with it’s liberal shout-outs, example yesterday when they tweeted they’re proud of the SCOTUS decision. This on top of having their baristas hassle customers for equality talks whatever.
I know I’m done with them, just wonder if anyone else is.
