How can anybody say they ‘like’ Donald Trump?  What exactly can
be likable about him?  He has taken the number one spot in the
race for assholism in the United States.  He outdoes Michelle
Bachmann by a hairug (LOL).  He may have a lot of money, and he
does, and he may be a clever businessman, and he is, and I suspect
there are lots of casualties along his way to self-glorifying success, and
he is a partyboy besides being a Party boy, but he is still an asshole! 
He hasn’t a thought in his head about the needs of the middle class and
especially the poor.  If he did why hasn’t he developed some
foundations to help the poor.  Money does not buy off his utter
egotism.  Is it his money that is so attractive to the others who also
have money?  Yeah.  Oh yeah.  He is a carnival show and the
provincials love a carnival. 

Instead of going after Obama for legitimate political reasons, his small
mind harps on the birther insanity wasting everybodys’ and the
newsmedia’s time.  The media bow down to Trump and kiss his feet
with their sanitary and fawning questions about Trump’s pathetic
campaign strategy.  Do they expect Trump to knight them with his
bayonet? 

Obama certainly can use criticism, like how about stuffing cooperation
(call it roll-overconcession) up his you know,...  nose. haha I fooled
you.  Truthdippers do a much better forceful job than any of the
Republicans.  The Republicans are cartoons of each other.

Blackspeare:

“However, the official birth certificate contains additional information that Obama and his close aides do not want released and that is his mother and father were not legally married at the time of Obama’s birth.”

Better a bastard than a Muslim!  LOL.

Peace.

“Pity that all of those good ‘ol flag waving, bible thumping, “exceptional” all-American, patriotic, NRA members among others of the “conservative” ilk don’t realize that the rest of the world is closely monitoring the progressive implosion and decay of the Imperial States of America ........ “

Wow, I’ll have to tell all the Democrat boys out there at the range that they’re being unduly stereotyped. They’ll so depressed when they hear the news. I would argue that you’d be hard pressed to find any fewer Democrat politicians who too easily festoon their corrupt lapels with pins of red, white and blue, and that the term “conservative” has been warped and abused.

One of the biggest fallacies has for a long time been to assume that being “conservative” actually referred to being conservative. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being “conservative” these days refers more to having a Chicken Little mindset and the courage of Casper Milquetoast, which is rampant on BOTH sides of the aisle.

Rather than throw the NRA into that dysfunctional soup mix, you might actually try joining it first and seeing what the NRA does represent before being so quick to condemn it. You might learn something.

Trump is really not a “Birther”, but he knows something
that will eventually come to light.  The state of
Hawaii only issue a certificate of live birth which for
all intents and purposes is bona fide proof of
stateside birth.  However, the official birth
certificate contains additional information that Obama
and his close aides do not want released and that is
his mother and father were not legally married at the
time of Obama’s birth.  Not really a big deal in this
age, but could be embarrassing and would certainly make
the joke circuit.

Pity that all of those good ‘ol flag waving, bible thumping, “exceptional” all-American, patriotic, NRA members among others of the “conservative” ilk don’t realize that the rest of the world is closely monitoring the progressive implosion and decay of the Imperial States of America and conspiring together to not only provide us the rope necessary to hang ourselves but actively planning strategy to breach the walls and crash the gates as was so dramatically demonstrated by the Barbarians’ destruction of Rome in an era very similar and not so long ago!

As Jesse Ventura had said, the voters can continue to vote Democrat and Republic and they will only continue to get the same crap. Chimpanzees learn faster than that. The problem goes back even well before Woodrow Wilson’s time and here we are confronted with the same old shit. Each year, the American voter gets backed into his or her respective corner and, as the system has been all to capable of recognizing, as long as it can weed out all meaningful honest and caring candidates, the voters will grudgingly, but repeatedly, keep voting for the lesser of two evils.

So, at what point does the average thick headed voter realize that their strategy doesn’t work any longer, or that they were being played like a musical instrument? STOP voting for Democrats and Republicans. You could see how desperate the Republicans were when they co-opted Ron Paul’s Tea-Party movement. They were struggling to get kind of traction they could. The Republicans couldn’t give a shit about the ideals espoused in that actual movement, they just wanter more of the traction that they lost when that Bush buffoon was in office. Now, the Democrat voters, even many of the black former Obama supporters, are now seeing how they’d been used.

It’s your call people. As I tried to say before the last election, had people voted for a higher ideal instead of through their wallet, even if the last election had 75% of the vote scattered among the various independents, and the winner was still either a Republican or a Democrat with only 15% of the total vote, what kind of message does that send, not only to those douchebags in Washington, but to the rest of the voting public?

You could see what was going on with the Lame Stream Media; they’d put Ron Paul or any other meaningful contenders way off to the sidelines and put narcissistic pontificating idiots like Romney and Hillary in center stage so that every time the camera swung it would hit their “chosen” candidates more often. The League of Women Voters had a good thing going before Bush broke them down. They were just “in the way”.

Kucinich would have been a good choice for a Democrat, Ron Paul for a Republican, Bob Barr as a Libertarian and Ralph Nader as an Independent; they all have character, something woefully missing in Washington. It was unfortunate to see Alan Grayson get voted out of office, but that is what happens when the corporate powers that be decide that a politician isn’t working in their best interest; they fund the other guy’s campaign. Lieberman was a classic example of the crap we get when that is allowed to happen.

If you want to find out why this country went down so hard and so fast, and who helped it to happen, look no further than which of your favorite politicians still chose to support the Patriot Act. If you haven’t figured THAT out yet, you’re still living under a rock.

As Jesse said, “Vote for anybody except a Republican or a Democrat.” The people who keep putting themselves back in charge have come to our party and they’ve trashed the place. What more do we have to lose?

Trump tried to buy land to build massive shiny Hotel and gambling in Scotland.  They laughed his baffon arse back to the US where money can buy anything, even heritage and tradition

Well, why not Trump?
Didn’t you Americans vote in Ronald Regan and George W. Bush to the position of President of the United States; the Country has never really recovered from the fall-out following the effects of their tenure.

Trump proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that being rich is not evidence of intelligence because Trump is a moronic asshole.

But Flaco, you don’t mind choosing a brand of corn flakes. How is voting any different. The corporations that make and sell candidates advertise their brand and then you choose. What could be more American. A brand is after all, what its all about. Take Starbucks. Stars and Bucks, what is more American than that?

Is anyone really going to vote for another president for this country? What the f… for? Actually why would we vote again. What is the point? Trump is not anymore of a clown than the rest.

Yeah…you could say that Donald Trump is likable…. in the way that economic crises, floods and mudslides are likable.

Of course, he could run for office and possibly be elected. Some of us have already lost the capacity to be astonished.

When did vacuousness become de rigeur on the right?  Because that is what we have here: an age of vacuity.  Palin, Bachmann, Trump - even, in some respects, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Huckabee.  Shallow, ignorant of history, lacking in any sense of humility or shame.  ARE they reflective of the populace?  If so, then, yes, a vacuous, pompous, bombastic self-promoter like Trump might have a chance.  However, if this pack of pretentious political poseurs does NOT really reflect the majority of the American populace, then I say: bring on all the lunacy you can!  Because it will ultimately backfire, and save us from the (even more) Orwellian future they propose.

Peace. (?)

Eugene, I feel the same way about Trump too.

But I can’t help but wonder, and I want you to set me straight on this:

Nature abhors a vacuum.  The Pres. from the earliest days abandoned his progressive wing and failed to fulfill his mandate—and great opportunity—to take bold stands and at the same time educate the American people as to why we needed new priorities, why we needed to unravel the Bush mindset.

Health care, of course, comes to mind, as well as the wars.  Both can be read as surrenders to big money and to the MIC.  He could crush Kucinich, for example, but could not lift a finger to push Lieberman away from his blocking medicare buy in for all.

To be direct:  He has often AWOL or passive aggressive when it comes to leadership and setting a new direction—which would also have provided cover and courage for weak Dems to stand up for a new agenda.

In that sense, then, it seems to me that Trump et al are in some respects, Obama’s creatures.  His children who have grown up quickly to fill the vacuum he has created.

This is not an anti Obama rant.  It is too sad.

how better to boost TV ratings - but seriously, few are foolish enough to imagine that this upstart
nouveau rich pretender could ever get a respected seat at the table of any genuine oligarch - he’d
be dismissed for farting without permission

could he ever prevail, he’d simply be the next puppet POTUS - carrying water, as they all do… all
since Kennedy that is - and his fate weighs on the mind of every POTUS - so, what’s new?

let him have his ego trip - what’s that you say, you like the 25% tariff on Chinese imports?

fine I’ll see his tariff and raise him a 1% Tobin Tax on all financial transactions… then we’d be
talking real money!

Yeah, I’m sure glad that BHO and the Dems are serious folks who are doing such a bang-up job solving our problems.

Meanwhile, job growth remains anemic,income inequality grows, the national debt
increases, the wars continue, gas prices rise, months pass and the Congress
dithers keeping the media and the public fed with relative minutiae and drama.

Pst. Pst! PSSTTT!!! Eugene, re: the ridiculosity of The Donald as President.

REMEMBER ‘W’??

‘NUFF SAID.

Uh, except ‘Sarah’. ‘Michele’. Either of whom would make Trump look like Lincoln, by comparison.

And don’t take Charlie so lightly. Get him hopped-up enough, put him behind any one of his hookers, and they’d walk away with the White House in a Las Vegas minute.
