Like a Good Neighbor

A post, from earlier in the week, from the once and future Pope Hat, Ken White, a criminal defense attorney out of LA:

This was in response to Vice President J.D. Vance's comments on how nobody wants foreign-speaking neighbors

Vance agreed with host Miranda Divine when she said it “creates division and hatred” for people of other cultural backgrounds to move into a neighborhood after he gave an example in which “20 people” price out U.S. citizens by moving into “a three-bedroom house.”

“Their next-door neighbors are going to say, 'Wait a second, what is going on here? I don't know these people. They don't speak the same language that I do,'” Vance said.

What nice people. 

Meanwhile, last night, Donald Trump held a Gatsby-style Roaring '20s Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago even as Americans are starving, because he doesn't think starvation, due to curtailing SNAP benefits/food stamps as a result of the ongoing government shutdown, is a situation worthy of using our emergency funds. Starvation does not mean emergency to Trump. If the right people are starving.

“A little party killed nobody” was the official response to criticism. It's the new “Let them eat cake”; Trump's version is “Let ME eat cake.”
