      (2) Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) is the object of hysterical passion that is even more demented than the support for Barack Obama.

      (3) On November 20, 2006--Mexican Revolution Day--leftists held a rally in which they demanded that AMLO be declared the "legitimate president of Mexico."

      (5) In his acceptance speech, AMLO called for called for the establishment of a parallel government with a shadow cabinet. He may have been referring to the Westminster system of government used in the UK.

      (6) In the UK, the Leader of the Opposition forms an alternate cabinet whose members specifically "shadow" the positions of each member of the Cabinet. Canada uses this system.

      (7) The problem with AMLO is that he says different things depending on who he's talking to. His announced agenda is a mixture of Marxism, libertarianism, and conservatism.

      (8) In 2004, the Mexican Attorney General began the process of stripping AMLO of his governmental immunity due to AMLO ignoring a court order. Vicente Fox stopped the process in 2005 so that AMLO could run for president.

      (10) AMLO's followers have several time stormed governmental buildings and physically removed legislators to prevent them from voting. Here's the most important thing about AMLO that will show you the sort of president he'll be:

      (11) Everything is a "human right," and the government can take no action that "erodes human rights." AMLO is telegraphing his surrender to the drug cartels.

      (12) He wants the police to take over from the military in the war against the cartels, and he wants a single intelligence agency to handle to non-military aspects.

      (13) In other words, the cartels will find it much easier to bribe or kill Mexican authorities. He calls his security policy "Hugs, not bullets," and he's promised to end security arrangements with the US.

      (14) And of course he's said that he's going to make Mexico the hub of US-bound illegal immigration, because illegal immigration is another "human right."

      (15) So as horrible as Mexico has been since forever, it's about top get much worse. Hispanic cultures have an indestructible lust for populism and strongmen, so Mexico is finally joining in. AND HERE'S THE THING:

      (17) "The hardscrabble biography of Democrat Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been called into question after the revelation that she grew up mostly in wealthy Westchester County."

      (18) DOESN'T MATTER. Latin American politics seem to always result in failure. Chile did great...until it stopped doing great. Now they're trying again.

      (19) The house I currently occupy was owned by a lady who outlived all her relatives. She was in her nineties, with nobody to take care of her, so we did. One of the things we did was hire a caretaker.

      (20) She was a very nice Honduran woman. Her husband was a belligerent butthole. He ALWAYS wanted to have political arguments about how the US was screwing up Central and South America.

      (21) His cute little thing was that he always referred to the US as "Uncle Sam" in Spanish. He affected the appearance of farmer, but he and his wife were pulling down over $200,000.

      (22) I told this story before: In San Francisco, I was driving through the Tenderloin with a leftie friend. "Why is there garbage everywhere?" I asked rhetorically.

      (26) No, actually. It's racist to refuse to hold NON-EUROPOIDAL people to the same standards to which you hold EUROPOIDAL people. What's the excuse when a blonde Swedish guy throws garbage everywhere?

      (27) AMLO and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are fictional characters. I don't get the appeal. But Trump will take care of AMLO. AND.

      (30) ADDENDUM: I forgot that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be only 33 in 2020. You need to be 35 to run for president. Well, she lied about her socioeconomic station, so maybe she's lying about her age too...

      Whoever - whatever they choose, mexico has always thrived on robbing, fraud, corruption. Their police force will assassinate anyone who disagrees slightly. The very quiet Ppl with $ only survive there. On their way to becoming Venezuela is an understatement.

      It may be worse than Venezuela. There is a serious water shortage. We could see it implode if people don't have water to drink or grow food.

      “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Or something like that. Mexico decline/collapse is one way to get a wall.
