El Chapo vs. The Donald


The Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin Guzman -- known as 'El Chapo', and who escaped a second time from a maximum security facility in Mexico over the weekend -- is now tweeting threats at Donald Trump.


Translated:

"Keep f***ing around and I'm gonna make you swallow your bitch words you f***ing whitey milks***tter (that's a homophobic slur)." 

Trump notified the FBI after that.

Even with all the money Trump has (though he's about $50 million poorer of late) and all of the conservative political power he's amassing -- certainly the Operation Jade Helm 15 observers would be willing to divert some of their crack troops to his security detail if Trump requested -- I'm not so sure I would bet against Shorty here.

Since I grew so tired of the Texas DPS officers and their expenses for keeping our former governor of Texas safe -- whatever has happened to his indictments, by the way? -- I doubt whether increased Secret Service platoons for political candidates who shoot their mouths off is something I, as a taxpayer, want to see increased.  We're still a few months away from having to make a decision about who gets protected, by the way.

If it comes down to a choice between Jeb Bush and Trump next March, I might just have to cross party lines and vote in the GOP primary (and not for Pee's dad, either).  There's a small chance my vote might be offset by all of the Republicans voting for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic one, thinking that beating a "soshulist" is going to be easy for any one of their clowns.  I am starting to have some doubts about that as well.

Bloom County returns

Thank goodness.  The thought of having to go through the 2016 election without Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann, and "The Real" Stephen Colbert was making me feel depressed.
