Trump Buys Gallery Selling Trump Piñatas, Will Sell Rapist Piñatas

REYNOSA, MEXICO (The Nil Admirari): In the early hours of Friday morning, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump purchased the Mexican art gallery that produced Trump piñatas after Trump stated all illegal Hispanic immigrants were killers and rapists. Piñateria Ramirez was purchased by Trump for $30 million, and Trump says it will now be selling "Mexican Killer" and "Mexican Rapist" piñatas.

of mine from June 7. If you read the whole thread, you will learn some very interesting things about this type of surgery and also about Chris Christie's inability to lose a significant amount of weight, despite this surgery.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026794000

I read a lot and I also think I am fairly well informed on health matters, but there were several DU-ers who posted on the thread who brought me up to speed on this medical procedure.

Eighteen years ago I lived in the same townhouse complex as a guy who was one of their cartoonists. He still works for them. I recently saw him, but didn't have a chance to talk to him. We had had many conversations about his job, politics, etc. Would love to know if it's one of his.

Fri Jul 3, 2015, 11:29 PM
Jul 2015

Puede que de vez en cuando se pase un mexicano de mojado, pero Donald Trump siempre se pasa de mojón.

Translation: It may be that a Mexican, from time to time, passes the (border) line as a wetback, but Donald Trump always passes the (decorum) line as a turd.

wealthy and corporations could only protect their wealth if they brought in social conservatives formally know as ignorant southern white trash who left the democratic party and were welcomed into republican party. This was nixons southern strategy. It worked for a long time but that time is nearly over. If hispanics hate republican as blacks do its game over and the chamber of commerce know it!

He keeps saying out loud what they all want to IMPLY.

Trump is the the Republicans' unpolished id, and the more he speaks, the less people will listen to any of them.

I hope you are right . How ever the media has whipped up a huge proportion of xenophobes around all Hispanic and anybody with brown skin. it is almost the same as a Hitler's hatred of anything that is not white. I know , I know the Hitler thing has been used to death. But think about it. it is all the same While I know that most sensible people would never, ever consider Trump. There are a lot of xenophobic fearful people . The question is who will they pay attention to.

Mon Jul 6, 2015, 09:54 AM
Jul 2015

He doesn't have any real potential as a demagogue. It's a hobby for him and entertainment for us. Even as a racist, he doesn't articulate what they want to hear. All he's got is a generic "close the border" line, to which he tacked a fairly unimaginative note about "they're sending the bad people over." He doesn't have the personal heft to add any momentum to the standard nativist lines. And border crossings are down anyway. It's an old conservative hot button issue with a swiftly expiring shelf life.

Ted Cruz. Paul Ryan. Mike Huckabee. These are demagogues who would hurt people, given the chance. Tie a woman down and force her to give birth; that sort of thing. Start a war for fun and profit. They are smart enough and ugly enough to pull off genuine evil, given the opportunity.

Trump is comic relief.
