The Swedish Intervention
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot’s blundering little brother has taken a break from telling black and brown members of Congress to go back to the countries they came from to express his concern for the way Sweden is upsetting African-Americans.
“Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States,” Trump tweeted Thursday afternoon. “I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers. Treat Americans fairly!”
Fuck you, Mr. Bring Back the Death Penalty.
I assume the attempt to get A$AP Rocky out of jail was, or at least started out as, some sort of African-American outreach effort. Or, as such efforts should be known: Vaguely conciliatory but unmistakably insulting gestures in the direction of the African-American community so that members of the Republican party can react with outrage when real black people point out the party’s being a hotbed of white supremacy problem. Which includes disenfranchisement of African-Americans and shitty outreach efforts to the people it doesn’t want to vote. And the shouting racist yam in the White House.
But it’s all too easy to imagine the fistula that walks like a man grinning through those parched lips and exclaiming that he freed our wonderful African-Americans, just like that Abraham Lincoln who a lotta people don’t know was a Republican.
Whatever the initial reason it now looks like he is taking the leader of another nation’s refusal to do his bidding personally, so he has reverted to the tools of great statesmen through the ages: Whining and insults.
He later added, “Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem!”
Real crime problem to President Peabrain means brown immigrants doing anything at all, but don’t call him racist.
Would things be different if President Fash had known that Sweden has a true separation of powers between the government and the judiciary and the P.M. can’t intervene?
In response, Löfven’s spokesperson Mikael Lindström said in a statement to CNN that all people in Sweden are equal before the law.
“All I can say at this point, is that Sweden and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven have explained and emphasised the complete independence of the Swedish judicial system, prosecutors and courts,” Lindström said. “The Government is not allowed, and will not attempt, to influence the legal proceedings, which are now ongoing.”
That question assumes DJT can learn anything and so is pointless.
