Keep thinking about the "Piggy" thing and it is so disturbing.
Not just for what it reveals about his soul (which we already knew), but for what it reveals about his inhibitions and impulse control.
The man is losing it. And he is in charge of nukes.

“… 'La Lotería' comments on topics including immigration, and criticizes President Donald Trump’s criminal past w/lyrics like 'El diablo ya lo mandan a la corte' (They’re even sending the devil to court), and 'Nuestra gente se rebela en estos tiempos' (Our people are rebelling in these times).”
Los Tigres Del Norte are icons for a reason.
“We took on the task of recording and having this number and hopefully the public will analyze it and reflect on each of the themes that are touched upon in this song, because there are several and each lotería card has a different meaning for all of us”

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

CORRECTION: They dissolved *some* of the Washington Post journalist's body in acid.
The *rest* they barbecued on a grill until it was incinerated.
I know because I wrote a chapter on it in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan).
Trump thereafter bragged about "saving MBS's ass."
These are all monsters.

Something familiar is happening…
In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.
