    But is that really true? Or is it the fascists trying to get people to give up without a fight? As I understand the President of Mexico to have said, “is this blather and bullshit, or is there an actual written policy? Because we’re only going to concern ourselves with reality, not drug induced fantasies of a felonious madman.” My Spanish isn’t so good, but I think that’s accurate.

      I really hope that’s an exact quote: I’ll have so much respect for him calling out the BS

        Her*

        I googled but found nothing, but if it was in Spanish I wouldn’t know what to begin searching for. at any rate, if it was translated, it wasn’t translated into that.

          This was facetious.

            I directly translated from English what my friend said yesterday, and may have embellished a bit for effect, but this is not different in effect from the nature of human to human verbal communication over millennia. Furthermore, even if she said nothing of the sort, it would be a better world if world leaders call out rumpy’s BS. Ok, ok, I admit, “drug induced fantasies of a felonious madman” was my description, but clearly there’s nothing inaccurate there.
