I see that my friend Base is being hit with 2x4's this morning.
Base always came to my defence so I will try my best to part this onslaught of 2x4's.
First, Base always dished it out to both the PPP and PNC. He is a strong Trump supporter and does what every strong supporter does and defend his President.
On my party, I was guilty of being silent when a few of our PPP boys in Guyana started to behave as if they were gods, some of them treated state assets as if it was their personal bank accounts and a couple of them insulted an ambassador in his own residence.
The consequences: PPP lost the election or close enough to lose the last election and the consequences are worse. We are now headed to a dictatorship and rigging which we all know what happened to Guyana as a result of PNC dictatorship and rigging. It will get worse.
Base, you originally stated that the consequences of a trade war were not good in the early moments when talk of a trade war emerged. We are starting to see the consequences of a trade war. I am sure that you still maintain that position.
On this issue of immigration, Kaz, in one of his posts admitted that the issue is not simple but highlighted the injustices against children in all of this. Many of us are immigrants and you have also worked with Children and Charities so you should show some compassion here and join everyone who are fair in condemning these injustices against children. I know that deep down you know that this is wrong. I am not Christian but I have read the Bible and if Jesus was on earth today, he would have spoken out.
I know that you want a wall but don't you think that the $ 2 Billion number or whatever that number is, that someone close to Trump will benefit ? This is no different what the PPP did. East and West Germany had a wall and it came down.
Base, you need to do the honourable thing and join any fair minded person and admit that Trump is wrong on these two policies. It will not make you any less of smart person that you already are. I will understand if you get angry at me for stating this but sometimes friends have to tell another friend that they are on the wrong side of an issue.
