"Artist Dalton Javier Avalos Ramirez created a piñata of Donald Trump for fellow Mexicans to take their frustrations out on."
Mr “Piñateria” Ramirez said he was inspired by Trump's presidential announcement speech, which included the statement: "They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime... They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting."

I wonder why you tell us about these tags when I have never seen a list of tags. Unless you cite a tag in a currently displayed post, there doesn't seem a way to know how many tags exist. Or am I missing something?
Don't feed the troll, especially if it's a Moby.
This seems like one of those 'violence implied against politicians' things that we weren't supposed to do, ever since Sarah Palin's Assassination Squad attacked Gabriel Giffords.
Donald Trump speaks to border guards? No wonder he is talking like this! He doesn't know he's being had.
That is one powerful union. That thinks they make policy.
Isn't a “piñateria” likeness of Trump hate speech? The point of a piñateria to beat it with sticks? So making this is inciting people to beat Trump with sticks? Also, since Mr Ramirez is Mexican, isn't this also racist? Just asking...
"I wonder why you tell us about these tags when I have never seen a list of tags."
I could show all the tags in the sidebar, but I think that would slow down the page loading.
Here's a post from 2 years ago that might be helpful: "All those tags."
"The other day, I was blogging about tags, and somebody asked what are all the tags. I considered adding a sidebar gadget that would show all the tags, but I saw that there were over 3,000 of them. For what its worth, I've copied and pasted the list of tags, which you can see after the jump...."
On the topic of threats of violence, that Scott Walker puppet clip of mine begins 2 minutes in, but if you scroll back to the beginning, you will see a scene is which a young woman threatens me.
She's exercising female privilege, by the way. Know what I mean by that?
Donald Trump is a cartoonish, distracting bore who does much more harm than good to the GOP, Conservatives, and reasonable debate in general. I just don't care if someone wants to create a candy filled effigy of him. The sooner he's forgotten the better.
Living close to the Mexican border I can safely say The Donald is absolutely correct. The human rights abuses being carried out among the "coyotes" and the women and children they are paid to protect is a daily occurrence in safe houses on either side of the border and on the smuggling trails through the Sonoran Desert routes. The border is lawless and shameful. DHS let's known criminals loose on the public and do nothing about marijuana growers in the U.S. supplying high grade marijuana to the same coyotes who take it back to Mexico on the return trip. Ask yourself why we hear little if anything from La Raza and Reconquista who encourage and support human smuggling, drug running and sexual of abuse of illegals coming into this country as merely a price to be paid to pad the voter rolls for the democratic party.
Why would a little kid want to whack open that piñata and have a bunch of poop come raining down?
I'm glad Donald Trump has maybe jumped into the race. I hope he makes it to the Republican debates.
As for smacking him with a stick, this goes under my, "I wish I were a billionaire" list of stupid things I'd love to do. Like troll the media by immediately coming out with an Obama Pinata so they could act all high and mighty about why they think the Trump Pinata is equally bad. I'd give them a few days first though, to all comment on it and why it's not so bad. Or to just completely ignore the story.

Trump is a bit of a buffoon but on this he is right. The cream of Mexico isn't crossing the border.

The Moby is in 2nd place in NH.

I worked there for 11 years, and this was prior to the Obama administration. I've heard it worse now from friends still working down there. I can still remember the first time I saw a dead woman with her skull crushed in by a rock. I puked. It happens so often (Not heads being bashed in by rocks, human rights abuses) that eventually you become numb to it.
I remember a meeting we had with our Director. She was concerned because there were a bunch of children being sexually abused, used as prostitutes. We had a choice, we could arrest and convict the perpetrators, or we could just go in and shut the place down and have no evidence so that they could leave and open up shop in another location. We would have the short term satisfaction of having closed down a sex trafficking of minors business, but in the long term, we wouldn't have stopped this particular organization.
A nearby Church agreed to let us set up surveillance. It took us a couple of weeks to get the damning evidence we needed to convict. Every day our Director would call us in and ask for an update because she couldn't stand another moment of the abuse (Who could?). But it's what we needed for a conviction and we couldn't stomach letting these people just get away with this.
I've got hundreds and hundreds of these stories. It was killing me to work on the southern border, which is why I moved away. Thank God I don't work down there anymore.
Did Trump say "they're rapists" or among them "there're rapists"?
Maybe Trump said "therapists"?
The 2016 election should be the immigration and border election but I am not at all sure it will be.
Did Trump say "they're rapists" or among them "there're rapists"?
Maybe Trump said "therapists"?
Or they could combine "therapist" with "analyst".
Nanopod; The joke is on you. The piñata represents the American Public who are being overrun by illegals flooding our border states as they head to all points of the compass. I suggest you head for a DMV office in California and listen to the typical conversations going on there. "Smog check?" I don't need no stinking smog check. I was told everything is free. Flunk smog test account bad catalytic converter? Steal one from the neighbor's car when he is asleep. Garbage and Junk? Drive down the road and empty it onto a property owner's land. Property owner receives a notice to clean it up and take it to the dump or get fined until he does at his own expense. CoPays at the Doctor's Office: QUE? Obamacare is free for illegals, Si? Smart phones aplenty, beer by the case with EBT card(S). Max one out and use the next one. Get a grip! No water? siphon it off your neighbors faucet. Need spending towards the end of the month? Drive to the country and remove the copper from the pump motor and sell it to the junk yard who says "Si se puede." Breakfast for the kids at school? whole family shows up. Are you paying for uninsured motorists on your insurance policy? Underinsured motorists? We are. You must live some distance from the border. Coming soon to a community near you if not there already. Clueless wherever you are.
Eric; I worked for the railroad from between Yuma, Tucson, and El Paso. You would understand what we saw from our train as we went by illegals laying beside the right of way pointing to their mouths indicating the need for water. Tossed off a case of our water to them and speed dialed Immigration. That was between Lordsburg NM and Las Cruces, NM. When we found them they had already walked 45 miles from the border to I-10, changed clothes under a railroad bridge waiting in the heat for a "coyote" who may or may not arrive to pick them up. Occasionally we would be stopped and they would walk up to us for help. "Papeles por favor." They usually had a business card with a personal injury lawyer's name on it to contact for all legal help. Watch the sky for the vultures and call the DHS as they weak and dead are left behind. Not suitable discussion material at democratiic cocktail parties I can assure you, but you already know that. Thanks for your service. It's 110 degrees in the shade today. LORD have mercy!
I wonder if Mexicans are the current problem, their country having a pretty nice economic recovery at the moment. I think those coming across are from Central America which remains generally hopeless, now being steered by lefties from end to end.
Michael:
Steered by well-intentioned lefties through a rape and killing field. While covering for political corruption and environmental dislocation in their native lands. Such nice lefties, with good intentions. Always in front with a wicked solution.
As Donald Trump is about as serious a Republican as Stephen Colbert, do they realize the joke's on them? Not as much as the joke's on Trump's supporters, but still.
She's exercising female privilege, by the way. Know what I mean by that?
Of course we do - it's where a woman is allowed to make threats in public that would, made by a man, be considered assault. Or at the very least, would lead to mass outrage.
For instance, a woman is being 'funny' when she says something like:
Whenever I think “alpha male”… my daydream quickly becomes a Sweeney Todd nightmare in which I’m serving the remains to my dinner guests, disguised as some sort of heavy-seasoned stew beneath puff pastry, because I wound up killing said Alpha Male in sheer exasperation before sundown and need to get rid of the body…. ~ Laura Resnick
Whereas a man saying something along those lines would be hustled onto the next train out of society.
You know what else is female privilege? The idea that you would even have to ask if we knew what it was. But as I'm often reminded by my betters, privilege is invisible to those who have it.
Female privilege is also not having your right to vote contingent on sacrificing your right to life and liberty to the state by way of having your body bombed, bayoneted, shot, shrapneled, burned, poisoned, etc. etc.
But I don't think that happened to you in Madison, so that's probably not the privilege in question.
Trump's messages are well delivered but they stir up trouble for all of the comfort zone sitters who don't want reality intruding on their remembered beliefs about American security from the 1990s.
Will somebody shut up that court jester. Now all is OK again.
The Moby is in 2nd place in NH.
Because much as the Chamber of Commerce and DNC don't like to know it, the general public is VERY opposed to illegal immigration.
A piñata? That's pretty weak. I'm certain that there are Mexicans who like to go all Edward II on Trump---take that you buffoon!
And there are others, like me, who simply wish that egomaniac Trump would learn to put a sock in his mouth and shut up.
Sorry 'bout that. Should have read the preview more carefully.
Meant to say that there Mexicans who would like to go all Edward II on Trump.
