You get that email thing about them China dogs?  Seems like this time of year, they eat up 15,000 dogs.  Some kind of festival deal.  Well I remember when I was a kid fightin’ in Korea,  them guys there ate dogs, too.  It’s a culture thing, kid.  So somebody wants me to sign this petition and send some money to make ‘em stop, but seein’ as how they been eatin’ dogs for hundreds of years I figure they ain’t going to stop.   Then I gets a petition to make office buildings turn down their lights at night cause birds was getting’ confused by them.  Bullcrap!   If half of these people would pay attention to the elections and stuff we might have a better Prez and Congress guys.  People should be worryin’ about other people.

Well, kid, tell your own kid what lives in Europe not to trade in his Jap bike, cause Harley’s is goin’ up 2 grand cause of them steel tariffs.  Them Harley biggies that rode up to Trumps place to support him is now bitchin’ about it and will close down plants and move some to Europe.  So all them guys who believe ol’ Trump would “make more jobs than anybody’ is findin’ out that he is – over in Europe somewheres.  Sometimes you gets what you wish for – but it’s shoved up your behind.

So I hear the Prez’s tweets on sending them immigrant folks back home without no judges or hearing or nothing else.   Now I’m  an ignorant old mill hand with  no fancy  degrees or such, but even I knows about “due process”.   Here in Ohio you got a right to a trial even if it’s just for friggin’ jay-walking.   It’s in that Constitution that keeps them politicos from screwing us all over.    I’ll tell you, kid, I’m scared that this guy wants to be a absolute king like old Hitler.

You  know how I hates twitter.  So I’m tryin’ to watch the news today, and everything is about twitter.  This one twitter this, that one twittered that.  The prez don’t stand up and look us in the eye too much, he’s sittin’ in the crapper twitterin’ away.  It’s like everybody is important and they think everybody else cares.  Bullcrap!   I’m an old steel guy used to work the coking ovens and why the hell  do I care what them Kardishy  ladies does?

Hey, Charlie, check your internet.  Them ICE guys goes to 5 Ohio towns around here, and they rounds up 200 Mexico guy’s whats workin’ in them chicken factories.  200!   They scoops ‘em up, and they got them headed back already, leaving their wives and kids behind.  Now what the hell was that all about?  All them guys  what voted for old Trump is probably happy cause’ that’s what he said he’d do.  But you think one of them is gonna clean them chickens for two bucks an hour?   Not me, kid – not me.  Bullcrap.    And now your Aunt Marge will be payin’ a helluva lot more for chicken down at the A&P.  Bullcrap!

I gotta tell ya’, kid.  I don’t know what hell’s level we’re sinkin’ to.  Look, I know the immigrant deal is a big mess – but gimme a break.  Takin’ little kids away from their parents and lockin’ them in cages don’t solve nothing.   Not a damn thing.  And that AG guy gets on TV and he’s quotin’ the Bible about how it says it’s OK to do this, and I figures if the Pope hears this and old Pope he sure knows the Bible and so he’s probably peeing himself.  And if he was allowed to swear he’d be cussin’ just like my old top sergeant cussed.  I think even the Pope gets PO’d sometimes.

Charlie, don’t bother to call back, I’m just needin’ to rant.  Them signs, them damned signs.  They’s driving me nuts.  Signs about women’s rights, abortion or not, don’t shoot the kids, don’t send them immigrant folks back home, don’t this,  don’t that.  I want them to stop.  Just stop for cryin’ out loud.  It don’t do no good.  Only them congress guys can change that crap, and they don’t care about them signs only money and votes.  So put ’em down and go back to work.  Ain’t nobody else cares.  Like I told you one time, kid, carryin’ one of them signs is like pissin’ your pants in an old dark blue suit.  Nobody sees it but you get a good warm feelin’.

Charlie, I’ll catch you later but  I needed to say was:  is old NYC Rudy getting senile?  Sure he was mayor on 9/11 but he faded away.   I mean come on; he didn’t risk his butt tryin to rescue nobody.  But now he gets on TV and jabbers like a high school kid.  But gotta remember what I says about them Nazi guys spouting a lie so many times that everyone starts believing it even though it’s bullcrap.  So now I sees Rudy on the news and he says it’s OK for Trump to do anything he wants because he can pardon himself.  If it’s that frappin easy why didn’t old Nixon do it – or Bill Clinton?  It’s bullcrap, kid.  Just bullcrap.

Hey, kid, it’s Eddy.  I watch them Sunday Press shows and they got old Knute Gingerwhoisit – the old Speaker of The House guy.  He’s too much.  He don’t believe Trump ever done nothing bad or dishonest.  If the guy murdered old Knute’s own mother he’d say it was an accident.   And then they got clips of Trump talking about North Korea – and you know I was fightin’ there for 2 years, Charlie.  Well old Trump he says you just got to be tough with Kim Jong, and the other presidents just wasn’t tough enough but he is.  Well, old Kim Jon had all his cousins and Uncle shot, and then has his own brother poisoned in China.   I don’t think a fat guy from New York is gonna scare him too much.  I’m glad I’m too old to fight another war.
