Don't let reporters mystify you with all these things people "claim" and say. It's just one PR department relaying a message from another PR dept.

It's all the US. It's all the current system. Yes, the constitution has been drastically weakened by money interests. Yes.

I went to Austin, TX a couple weeks back to be my Brother's best man. I didn't realize he was marrying a cop's daughter in a rural area outside the city limits, because all he told me about the guy was he's a skydiver. I fly paragliders, so I figured we had a lot in common.

There's a really good reason all the souveneirs in the area say "Austin City Limits"! It's because if you're a beta male, you really shouldn't stray too far outside into the Red State. You really, really shouldn't.

Within an hour of getting to the house, I got in a minor verbal spat with my own sister. My ridiculous mother decided to call the police department to ingratiate herself with my brother's new family. Well, I'm 150 lbs (but still pretty tough) and a 270 lb gorilla showed up to learn me some manners about how to act when in Rome.

He practiced some Krav Maga on me, probably something he just learned and was aching to demonstrate. He twisted my carpal tunnels around, bend my injured knees around a bit, damaged nerves in my left hip and left wrist. Stood on my scoliosis, stretched a tendon in my left shoulder....

And then the police department itself put me in a hospital! I could have walked it off in a couple hours, but the cops run this hospital. They have the doctors and orderlies continue to be very abusive so as to keep you in shock for days (5 for me) and then they try to have a doctor threaten you with institutionalization because you had a delusion about police persecution!

That's their system, and apparently the Red Staters really truly like it that way. Keeps the outsiders and Mexicans out! Or so these fools think. They think they can keep the Mexicans out! They'll be in for quite the shock themselves when they find out Rupert Murdoch has been lying.

And that it's them that have to learn spanish after all. Glad I speak it, that's for sure.



What's Rupert Murdoch been saying in the US?


Rupert Murdoch -> News Corp. -> Fox News "RNC mouthpiece"

/sarcasm?

[clarification] Is /sarcasm on on either misunderstanding replier as such or my "RNC mouthpiece"?


No, genuine question. Not everyone's in the US!

In the UK the Murdoch press certainly has a long history of taking political positions and meddling with society. But I don't know what they're saying over the duck pond, especially about Mexico.
