. . . given its focus on illegal aliens in and mass deportations from that Statue-of-Liberty country, America. Starring as an alien refugee getting the last laugh is Bugs Bunny. Strangely enough, Bugs also plays U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump here. Or perhaps this is NOT so odd, after all. No one named "Trump" sailed to America on the Mayflower. Not one Trump signed the Declaration of Independence. There weren't even any "General Trumps" of note fighting the U.S. Civil War. Obviously, the Trump Clan consists of Johnny-Come-Latelies to the Home of the Brave, and no one can say whether their Green Cards were in order from the beginning. It's no wonder that Sylvester-the-All-American-Mutt resents it when Bugs Trumper usurps his warm spot by Granny's fire. He and Bugs spend the rest of this Warner Bros. animated short deporting each other from Granny's House, representing our U.S. Homeland. However, Bugs Trumpenstein concludes the action BY STRIPPING GRANNY HERSELF of her birthright citizenship, leaving the Old Lady out in the Cold. This reflects President Trump's nefarious plan to strip ALL Americans on Social Security and\or Medicare of their U.S. Citizenship (on Trumped-up charges), and then booting them South of Mexico's Great Wall.

This is a Bugs Bunny cartoon produced by Warner Brothers and directed by Friz Freleng. There will be spoilers ahead:The short opens on a dog named Sylvester and his mistress, a grandmotherly type, with the woman wishing the dog good night and the dog comfy and cozy by the fire. There's a knock on the door and the old woman finds Bugs Bunny in the cold. She brings him in and puts him in the dog's spot and covers him with the dog's blanket, saying "Good night, little bunny" as she goes up to bed.The dog becomes angry and jealous, contemplates Bugs's demise in colorful fashion before tossing him out. Bugs, of course, cons his way back inside. It helps that Sylvester isn't the shiniest pebble in the pond and vacillates between seething rage and a suddenly tender solicitude for Bugs.The bulk of the cartoon has the two in a struggle with regard to who gets tossed out and how they get back in again. The best bits are when Bugs retrieves Sylvester when the woman comes down to see to the commotion and when Bugs and Sylvester start behaving like boxers preparing for a fight ("How's the weather, John L.?"). The penultimate scene has the two alternate in being thrown out, to come back in and throw the other out, until the final toss, which is clever. The closing scene is a classic.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume Three and is well worth having. Recommended.

Bugs Bunny fights over a warm place with a dog in this early Looney Tunes short.I watched it on Looney Tunes Golden Collection, DVD I found from the library.Pretty entertaining, even though not the very best of Bugs Bunny.But it is rather funny to watch the nice old lady being thrown out in the cold.Not that I have anything against nice old ladies.And Bugs doing his dead act by making a snow bunny, and the poor dog cries over his "good friend".Hare Force from 1944 is directed by Friz Freleng.Mel Blanc provides the voice for Bugs Bunny.Bea Benederet is the voice of Granny and Sylvester the dog is voiced by Tedd Pierce.Enjoy!

"Hare Force" is a fine Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce. The setup: Bugs competes with a dog (named Sylvester, of all names) for the warmth of a cozy domestic fireplace.My favorite moments from this cartoon: Sylvester kicks Bugs in the ass and then suddenly apologizes to him; Bugs forgives him, but not without a little ass-whooping of his own. AND, for all you fans of great music, Bugs and (later) Sylvester sing the opening of "As Time Goes By". In fact, the very first time I ever heard this classic Herme Hupfeld song was from watching "Hare Force", many years prior to my first viewing of the 1942 classic live-action drama "Casablanca".
