Ordure South of the Border
With his Defense Department, Department of Veterans Affair, and Justice Department neck-deep in guano, the Shrubbery has decided to see if he can find his daughter’s cell phone, or annoy everyone living south of the US, or check on the extradition treaties, or something.
He was in Brazil to promote the burning of the Amazon basin so wealthy people can create more sugar cane fields and produce ethanol in a agricultural and commercial process that creates as much green house gas as the petroleum industry. Of course, to work, American corn farmers are going to get screwed, but what does he care.
He told the assembled masses that weren’t recovering from tear gas used in the demonstrations against him that he had doubled aid to South America from $800 million to $1.6 billion during his reign, but he neglected to mention that the $800 million was half of what was allocated before he came into office and slashed it. He assumes that everyone is like his base and the media, who don’t bother to fact check anything.
I hope nothing happens to him – we have invaded more than enough countries.
