He got $15 mil for the tree that paralyzed him. But nobody else.

Feel free to correct my facts.

But the deal is: He's got a KILLER SMILE and is married to a half-Latina, so after he cuts stuff he travels to the minority Blue areas and poses for pics with hugs with the minorities and is serenaded by traitorous/oblivious mariachis!1

Not to mention stationing National Guards at the border where they can savor Tex-Mex plates, and host Ted NUGENT.

When wingnuts take over a state, they demolish all social services and call for "VOLUNTEERISM" to pick up the slack - uh, never happen.

For being such a small-minded and mean-spirited person.

For being such a miserable cuss that he uses refugees to kick up official anti-immigration propaganda in a false victimization routine.

For stupidly bellyaching to the very federal authorities that already slashed the number of refugees allowed for the next year.

I could almost feel sorry for him, if I didn’t have so many reasons to despise him.
