Raccoon Exterminator!
I have been drawn between candidates and have not made up my mind. I just need some particulars before I follow the Pied Piper. Trump does bring some new ideas to the table.
When was the last time you could vote for the ideal candidate? I’m old, and I've always voted. I can’t remember ever thinking any were ideal. We always have two choices, usually Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you didn’t vote for Tweedledee you got Tweedledum. That’s the way it is folks.
Now consider this… An interesting analogy.
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean, raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately, so you hire a guy. A pro. You don't care if the guy smells, you need those raccoons gone pronto and he's the guy to do it! You don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he has plumber's crack... you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best. Period.
That's why Trump! Yes, he's a bit of an ass. Yes, he's an egomaniac, but you don't care. The country is a mess because politicians suck and we are all sick and tired of Tweedledee and Tweedledum choices. The Democrats are killing us, the Republican Party is two-faced and gutless, liberals don’t have a clue, and illegals are everywhere. You want it all fixed!
You don't care that Trump is crude, you don't care that he insults people, you don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don't care that he's been married 3 times, you don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, you don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist. This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal's, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED! Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. You're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and sick of illegals. You just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but no person or company he has ever done business with has come forward and called him corrupt, or hard to do business with. He doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. All you know is that he has been well educated at the university of Pennsylvania business school, seems to have boundless energy, has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's not a cowardly, deceitful, professional, politician. And he says he'll fix it.
You don't care if the guy has bad hair.
You just want those raccoons gone!!!
Out of your house
And after your hired guy has come and gotten rid of the raccoon, what do you want this guy to take care of next?
You want this guy to go away now that he has served his purpose and definitely don’t want him to be making decisions that affect other parts of your household that aren’t associated with pest elimination.
Vote Cruz for President, Hire Trump to build that wall with a TINY door.
You certainly nailed it for me.
A whole pack of ‘em visit my mom’s house every evening,
been doing so for generations. She feeds ‘em ramen and bread.
It’s better than an animal show she says.
Rabbies.
Rabies infested little cute things.
I’ve heard it’s hilarious to put out a box of sugar cubes next to a creek bank where the raccoons will find them. They take one out and try to wash it and it just disappears. They keep going back and getting another one and doing it all over again until the box is empty.
Well....a door not so tiny....but on the other side is inaccessible Mexican desert
Label the door:
Special door dedicated to Ford and Carrier products
staffed by a single customs inspector
who will inspect everything .
July 6, 1985|By R.C. Longworth, Chicago Tribune Don Hughes, chief financial officer of Burlington Industries, the nation`s biggest textile company, is talking about how world trade really works.
``When the ship got to the other port,`` Hughes said, ``it found a tiny, one-man customs point, and that one officer was under orders to inspect every yard of textiles that came through him.
``Well, something like that can extend your delivery a couple of months. By that time, the customer is fed up, and he cancels the order. It only takes a few of these to ruin a market for you.``
Hughes wouldn`t say what country did this to his exports, but it sounds like what France did to Japan when a flood of Japanese video cassette recorders started to inundate the French market. The French government ruled that all imported VCRs had to clear customs at a small, undermanned customs post at Poitiers, a long way from any border. After millions of dollars of VCRs became backlogged in the Poitiers parking lot, the Japanese got the point and agreed to limit their exports to France.
Barriers To Trade Growing July 6, 1985|By R.C. Longworth, Chicago Tribune
``We exported some textiles, put them on a ship. When they got there, the customs point at that port had been closed, and the ship had to go to another port 1,000 miles away.`
Ha....and the Mexican's will have to build the access road....../snicker
.....and if they complain....tell them “we just opened another special door about 500 miles west.”
There’s a video of a ‘coon trying to wash some cotton candy..
wait..
Here it is!

All I can say is LISTEN to what Trump is saying, rather than assume he’ll do what you want him to. He is telegraphing his intentions.
There was more than just one consideration. Did the exterminator help the raccoons enter in the first place? Is the exterminator going to let them apply for readmission? These are all questions that should be pondered. Other than that though I have no answer for you.
He’s a salesman selling himself. He hasn’t shown he is capable of exterminating the raccoons, he just tells us he is. I’m not convinced.
Trump: “Yes, there is a team. There’s not a team. I’m going to be forming a team. I have met with far more than three people, and I will be forming a team at the appropriate time.”
except your exterminator is already starting to waver on issues...so he might just give you the bill and decide those raccoons aren’t such a big deal. because after all, the exterminator has, for most of his life, actually belonged to and paid dues to the group that supports “raccoons unlimited”
You just let loose a pack of coonhounds down there. Patriotic hounds who know their duty, and will not waiver.
One hound wouldn’t make it, send many.
The trouble is that the man you wish to hire, is part raccoon. In the past, he’s given the racoons food. He has demonstrated over and over how he can fit in with raccoons.
In the end, he is pretty comfortable in working with the raccoons. He is pretty comfortable making accept a few raccoons here and there.
If the alternative is a “super”raccoon, I guess you can be satisfied with the person you hired.
Another analogy is that we have decided that we don’t want the GOPe to rule over the Party or us. They won’t leave voluntarily, so it is necessary to have a coup (bloodless, of course). Now, who here thinks that you can hire Caspar Milquetoast to be the leader of the coup? Not me, that’s for sure - I KNOW that whomever it would be, he’d be a bit rough around the edges...and like the raccoon guy, I don’t care one whit. In fact, the more different he is than those guys in the GOPe, the better - much more schaedenfreude.
