FYI, as a few DU posts have noted, this is likely FAKE,
But but it sure sounds looks acts just like a Trump Regime official

“What a fucking idiot”


Director of ICE thinks “Mexican” is a language

NEW: Border Czar Tom Homan says Taco Bell’s menu
is offensive to, “real Americans,”

[Aristus]

1. Imagine how offensive Taco Bell's menu is to real Mexicans...

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

4. Sad thing a LOT of Gringos still think Taco Bell is real Mexican food

But I do think more and more Gringos are finally finding out
how FANTASTIC real authentic, and numerous differences in the types of Mexican, Mayan, Hispanic foods are unbelievably tasty 😎😍

[Aristus]

11. I grew up in places like Texas and Arizona, and the South Puget Sound region has a thriving Mexican-American community,

so I'm lucky enough to know what real, genuine, authentic Mexican food tastes like. And not just from restaurants, either. My wife works with a number of Hispanic-Americans, and we have been privileged to be invited to their homes for dinner. The food has always been superb. (And nothing like the slop from Taco Hell...)

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

15. Fantastico

Caldo de pescado, or Sopa

Tacos de lengue 😎

Bistec a la Mexicana…..I had the Best once in Monterrey NL

Cabrito al Pastor

Huevos Rancheros (and I am extremely picky, it HAS to be GOOD, really good)
Not some damn gringo style crap either

Pozole Rojo, and Verde
AND it better be good, not some crappy store or restaurant crap pozole)

Menudo….well not for me…only once had really good menudo homemade by
friend families in Galveston decades ago

Tamales. MMMMMMmmmmmmm
Again, got to be good, I prefer pork, but masa got to be just right,
Meat has to be plenty spiced just right with a little heat for taste, and then heat that kicks-in later. I reject just about 80% of tamales that people think are ‘good’

Frijoles….freshly made, I’m really really picky
Charro

Chorizo mmmmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm
Con huevos

Elotes

Mole….not much of a fan of, with some exceptions

Ceviche……got to be super fresh
Made to order good

There is a ton of different fish recipes from all parts of Mexico

Birria de Chivo. …..goat stew

Tortas

Caldo Azteca

Pollo Asada

And on and on……

[WarGamer]

19. Mole is the best part of Mexican Food...

Oaxacan cuisine FTW

[aggiesal]

44. A little story about Mole ...

My mom & dad had been married about 50 years and all us kids (8) had already moved out.

From time to time, my mom would make mole chicken for Sunday dinner, when I was younger.
I'm not a fan of mole, but it was dinner and as my dad would say, "This is not a restaurant. You'll eat what our mom cooked and served."

So I ate it.

50 years later, my dad finally fessed up and told my mom, that he really didn't like her mole.
I was ready to throw my plate him, because I didn't like mole period.

Instead I told him, "This is not a restaurant. You'll eat what mom cooked and served."

I'm sure their private conversation later, would not be that pleasant.

[WarGamer]

48. hahahaha...

Maybe it's an individual thing... my wife and Mom aren't fond of it either.

Undertones of red peppers, cinnamon and cocoa... yumm!!!!

[cachukis]

28. Cajeta. The real stuff.

[aggiesal]

41. You're making me hungry. I live in Chula Vista, CA. about 7 miles from the border ...

You can't swing a dead cat, around here, without hitting a really good Mexican Restaurant.

[rubbersole]

47. They're eating the swinging cats, they're eatin....

[Igel]

57. Hey, boiled in a bag's hard to beat.

I mean, first you have to be able to overcome your revulsion to get within striking distance ...

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. No kidding. He thinks it's authentic Mexican food?

How do we have people that stupid running a government organization?

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

6. A lot of dumbshit Texans think Tex-Mex is "good" food. YUCK!

Texas can be a total hellhole of crappy Tex-Mex ‘food’

Tex-Mex , It sure is NOT ‘Mexican’ food.
I don’t know what it is — food for idiots I guess

[aggiesal]

46. What cracks me up is when you go to Mexico and ask where the Burrito menu is ...

They'll look at you cross-eyed and wonder, why does they want a little burro?

Burritos, I believe is either Tex-Mex or New Mexican food.

Maybe someone can enlighten me.

[DinahMoeHum]

52. Really? That's news to food critic Robb Walsh. . .

. . .who has written a number of books on the cuisines of Texas.

[Ishoutandscream2]

53. Wait, what?

Tex-Mex is fantastic. You can have your opinions on the food, but you have just lumped me and probably many other Texans here on this board as “dumb shit” and “idiots”. What a hateful and bigoted statement. This “dumb shit idiot” will continue frequenting his favorite Tex-Mex restaurant with the best enchiladas in the universe.

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

58. Sorry but that is absolutely TRUE. Tex-Mex is crappy food

Sorry but the truth hurts you, but Tex-Mex is crappy food.

Tex-Mex isn’t in any shape or form Mexican food,
It just isn’t. Tex-Mex food is Gringo food. Period.

Hell I can still remember decades ago that extremely popular
Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas…. PANCHO’S Buffet !
YUCK YUCK YUCK!!

That Tex-Mex Pancho’s had all-you-could-eat, you would ‘raise’ that tiny flag
at your table to get ‘more’ of the Tex-Mex mess,

Disgusting food.

El Fenix. Another over-rated crappy Gringo food Tex-Mex restaurant chain.
A LOT of dumb Anglos LOVED that slop.

El Chico. The same. Crap Gringo Tex-Mex restaurant chain.

Now there are many many Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas,
Lots and lots and lots of CRAPPY food.

I even know of a few Anglo-type Chicanos, that eat that crappy
Tex-Mex. They grew up speaking English usually. One Texas Tejanos I know
was married to a bimbo blonde Anglo who couldn’t cook — so he never realized
how shitty that Tex-Mex he was eating was.

There is a chain in Texas, Mi Cocina, lots of locations, it’s ‘ok’,
but like a lot of chain restaurants, even with same menu, what locations
you go to matters whether it’s really fresh, not just sitting around.

Now some Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas are serving real MEXICAN food
along with their Tex-Mex crap, like Ninfa’s in Houston.

Ninfa’s is OK. Fair only
Goode Co. Kitchen, is well so-so, I do NOT care for their food at all.
Pappasito’s Cantino, well YUCK! I ate there decades ago, and it was crappy
Tex-Mex, and I was forced to go there again about 10 years ago, because
that’s where someone planned our group to eat there, AGAIN the food was
at best BLAH!




I stopped going to Mi Cocino years and years ago.
There are lot better REAL MEXICAN FOOD restaurants in Texas,
although not that many in Texas.

It’s shocking just how few there are, the-really authentic GOOD Mexican restaurants in Texas, annd are hard to find in Texas. While in California, I find a LOT more really good real Mexican restaurants.

[harumph]

56. Taco Bell isn't "Tex Mex" at all, but regarding Tex Mex being necesarily bad -

you're just flat out wrong.

[Torchlight]

59. Color me an unapologetic idiot

I like Mexican food.

I like Tex-Mex.

I like Taco Bell.

I s'pose I'm just just not very evolved like you guys are.

[RobinA]

61. I'm The Same

I can't get involved in this "it's not authentic" discussion. If I like it I like it, if I don't I don't. I'm living in Pennsylvania and not likely to cross "authentic Mexican food" too often. I love a good burrito if it's got the right ratio of ingredients. Authentic? I don't care. I enjoy it.

[Prairie Gates]

32. Came here to say this!

Dude, I believe if Tom Holman walked through an actual Mexican neighborhood in a US city, he would catch an infarction. Taco Bell?

I wonder what he thinks of the Times Square Olive Garden HEYOOOOO!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Tom "Bullneck" Homan looks like he is no stranger to fast food. . . . nt

[mercuryblues]

3. Taco in English

Large round corn chip, folded in 1/2. Filled with your choice of meat, cheese, lettuce and red seasoned sauce.

Doesn't roll off the tongue easily or fit well on the menu board.

Cilantro: looks like parsley but tastes different.
Fajita: Super-hot meat dish so don't pray over it if you want to keep your eyebrows.

[lame54]

9. I'll take dos of those

[regnaD kciN]

37. Since burrito means "little donkey"...

…Taco Bell should rename its Burrito Grande the “Horman.”

[struggle4progress]

7. Tom is looking desperately for a distraction

Protesters in small New York village march to Trump border czar's home over family's ICE detention

April 5, 2025, 8:43 PM EDT
By Andy Weir and Emily Berk

SACKETS HARBOR, New York — Around a thousand protesters marched outside White House border czar Tom Homan’s home in a small New York village Saturday, calling for the release of three children and their mother who were detained by immigration agents at a nearby dairy farm late last month.

Donning signs criticizing the family's detention and chanting, “Bring them home," protesters in Sackets Harbor made the more than 2-mile round-trip march from a nearby park to Homan’s personal residence.

The march began with a rally organized by the Jefferson County Democratic Committee, which included a written statement from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who said she was “heartbroken and angry” by the family’s detainment ...

“We’ve seen it occur right in the last 60 days across the country, but when it happens in your backyard, I think that’s what garners people’s attention,” Jefferson County Democratic Committee chair Corey Decillis said ...

8. I think he's solved the communication problem..he speaks American!

[Self Esteem]

10. This is fake.

The screenshot posted is fake.

Here's the real screenshot:



From this video:

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6364871721112

Kind of embarrassing to see Jon Cooper so easily fall for something like this.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. But did he say it?

Screen shot is just a real screen shot with a quote overlaid.

Sure, screen shot is not 100% what was broadcast, but is the quote fake?

[WarGamer]

18. it's fake

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Yes, we know that the picture is fake. Did he say it or something like it?

[WarGamer]

22. Nothing like that. I watched the video and FF to 12:07CT

100% disinformation... BSKY is full of it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Thank you. You saved me time. Thanks. . . . nt

[Bleacher Creature]

29. Thanks. I figured as much. NT

[eppur_se_muova]

13. Once again, The Onion has outdone itself ! Though they may have gone too far this time -- it's not really credible. nt

[Captain Zero]

14. We really are an Idiocracy now

Unfortunately, they are smart in their Thievery.

[regnaD kciN]

38. As one of the signs at our protest yesterday put it...

…they’re the “Turd Reich.”

[WarGamer]

16. you know this is fake right?

Does that Blue Sky person always post BS?

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

25. Yo quiero, Soylent Green is Homan

Yo quiero, Soylent Green is Homan

[WarGamer]

26. wow dkos is spreading fake news too... quelle surprise

[alarimer]

17. It's offensive to anyone who likes real Mexican food.

In any case, Mexican food is not monolithic. There are numerous styles. None of them are really like Taco Bell, which I guess is based more on Tex-Mex.

Homan is a shallow-minded piece of shit. One of the best ways to get to know a culture is to try its food. It's really great to try new things, except for American dipshits who expect the world to cater to them.

Real or not, there are plenty of Americans who don't know anything about Mexico or its food.

[nonaa]

34. Taco Bell is from California but some of the food is from Texas.

The folded crisp taco and Fajita for instance, cilantro and
cumin were newcomers to the New World.

[bdamomma]

21. He can

eff off too.

[tanyev]

23. I'd say it's time for a bunch of taco trucks to settle in around Homan's neighborhood.

Those who try the fare will be astounded and amazed.

[BoRaGard]

27. That does it

He's off the guest list for my next Taco Tuesday Fiesta. Haarumph!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. Holman is an asshole and an idiot

Now, I may have to go eat at Taco Bell

[WarGamer]

36. so you fell for the fake image? lol...

[sakabatou]

31. *headdesk*

[Initech]

33. I find Tom Homan offensive!

[usonian]

35. Will Orange Julius ban Mexican food in the U.S., leading to his downfall? (satire) (repost)

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220194492

Nachos, burritos, fajitas, quesadilla, salsa, guacamole, chili con carne and huevos rancheros could be banned by an executive order, citing a postit-note found in The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed by Nicholas Trist, Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto, and Miguel Atristain, authorizing the ban.

It is expected that the "Mexican" items will be required to be replaced with "Murican" equivalents.

Nachos: potato chips and cheez wiz
Burritos: pancakes wrapped around breakfast sausages
Fajitas: Philly cheese steak
Quesadillas: grilled cheese sandwich
Salsa: ketchup (OF COURSE)
Guacamole: ranch dressing
Chili Con Carne: Boston Bedminster Baked Beans.
Huevos Rancheros: Eggs? Fuggedaboutit.

And about those sombreros somtechbros:


Impact could be substantial.
https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2024/01/12/mexican-food-popular-america/9881705073487/
Jan. 12 (UPI) -- More than 1 in 10 restaurants in the United States serve Mexican food, according to a new study from Pew Research. The analysis found 85% of U.S. counties have at least one Mexican restaurant, with 99% of Americans living near one.

The 15% of counties without any Mexican restaurants have about 4 million people, approximately 1% of the population, living in them, the Pew Research said.

40. The first Taco Bell

The menu (loaded with19 cent food) is down the page.

Vintage Taco Bell: Menus and Ads from the Good Old Days

I was 19 when I saw my first Taco Bell in Portland, Oregon. I had just moved there from Mississippi. I recall loving the Tacos back then and, because of a friend, I could get them free at closing at a local Taco Bell.

42. Homanculus

Homanculus: (def)

1. a little man: MANIKIN
2. miniature adult that in the theory of preformation is held to inhabit

[GiqueCee]

43. Just a few seconds of watching and listening to Homan...

... tells you that he a belligerent thug, a bully, and not all that bright. He is accustomed to people quailing in his malevolent presence, and so he never learned the art of normal human interaction. But, like every bully I've ever met, he is an ignorant coward.

[SamKnause]

45. Homan, I find you and everything about you offensive.

Nazi trash.

[patphil]

49. If that's the case, then "real americans" would also find Italian, Chinese, Greek, and all other ethnic foods offensive.

Tell me, what is American Food?

[GulfofMexico]

50. If he means Native Americans, the only "real Americans," he might be onto something LOL

Where did all these lunatics come from? I'll never get over the number of incredibly racist, ignorant, foolish, socipaths in high positions in this country, from the Oval Office to Congress to the Supreme Court to the state houses. Seriously, we have a country full of Joseph McCarthy types, and many of them hold the highest offices in the land. What are the rest of us -- the "real Americans" -- to do?

[dweller]

51. Cook for yourself ya f'n pig

✌🏻

[jmowreader]

54. I have it on good authority that Taco Bell is set to introduce Trump Administration-themed menu items

The Tom Homan item is the Pendejo.

The Donald Trump item is the Grande Pendejo.

And the Elon Musk item is the Mucho Grande Pendejo.

All three are just half a soft corn tortilla dipped in Taco Bell meat grease. The only difference is the price: the Pendejo is a buck, the Grande Pendejo is $25 and the Mucho Grande Pendejo is $250.

[jmowreader]

55. Fun fact about Taco Bell

Their headquarters is at 1 Glen Bell Way in Irvine, CA. If you go there, you will find a trailer at the corner of a lot that holds an object covered in a big blue tarp.

The object is the very first Taco Bell restaurant. They bought it and uprooted it to keep it from being torn down. So far they haven't figured out what to do with it, but they have it.

[Hotler]

60. Nothing but white bread and mayo sandwiches for Homan. nt
