Just when you thought Trump couldn't be more of a douche.

[IrezumiKiss]

I still don't get why you insist on doing the Hussein (half) black Obama thing. Is there a reason for it apart from yet something else you think makes you look clever?

He's a racist shitstain. Old and yapping his bitch heart out living on the internet while he's still got days. Logic, reason and consideration does not exist in that vacuum.

I applaud you for not wilting under his stench, but he's a fucking reel-to-reel stuck on endless loop. Middle finger him and keep moving unless you get your kicks from poking sticks at lesser lifeforms.

Businessman Donald Trump surged into the lead for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, with almost twice the support of his closest rival, just as he ignited a new controversy after making disparaging remarks about Sen. John McCain’s Vietnam War service, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

It's kinda scary that the wackier he acts the better things go for him. I mean I'm not afraid because sooner or later the bomb has to blow but how is the bomb even getting this big?

I am absolutely floored.

The Des Moines Register thinks Donald Trump is trashing our national discourse, and should just pack it in.

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...015/07/20/donald-trump-end-campaign/30439253/

It's time for Donald Trump to drop out of the race for president of the United States.

People who run for public office typically perform a great public service, regardless of whether they win on Election Day. That's particularly true of presidential candidates, most of whom must devote two years of their lives to hard-fought campaigns that involve staggering personal and financial sacrifices, all in an effort to serve their country.

And then there's Trump.

In the five weeks since he announced his campaign to seek the GOP nomination for president, Trump has been more focused on promoting himself, and his brand, than in addressing the problems facing the nation. If he were merely a self-absorbed, B-list celebrity, his unchecked ego could be tolerated as a source of mild amusement. But he now wants to become president, which means that he aspires to be the leader of the free world and the keeper of our nuclear launch codes.

That is problematic, because Trump, by every indication, seems wholly unqualified to sit in the White House. If he had not already disqualified himself through his attempts to demonize immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, he certainly did so by questioning the war record of John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona.

In just five weeks, he has polluted the political waters to such an extent that serious candidates who actually have the credentials to serve as president can't get their message across to voters. In fact, some of them can't even win a spot in one of the upcoming debates, since those slots are reserved for candidates leading in the polls.

You sure, cus it sure as fuck looks like he's going to be at the debates and is way up there in the polls. You can't claim to have nothing to do with the guy in your party currently closest to claiming the crown.

Nor can you pretend like you don't have Walker and Christie and Graham. Palin or Bachman. You can't pretend like you're not the ones defending the Confederate Flag instead of pretending you didn't notice it somehow or just couldn't be bothered because there were real issues facing your state and country.

who is defending the confederate flag??? but as far as I can tell, the others Rep's running, have been chastising him for his comments.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

Yes, sure. Everyone will take Trump seriously, just as they took Sarah Palin seriously.

( And hope to the energies of the Universe, that people have not become so deluded, that they would seriously consider putting Trump into the White House.)

Yes, I did fear that people were foolish enough to put John McCain's thumb on the bomb of all bombs. I feared Sarah Palin's crazy arse would have a seat next to the President of the USA.

he True Military Record of John McCain Written by an Active Marine
Uncategorized by admin


THE TRUE MILITARY RECORD OF JOHN MCCAIN WRITTEN BY AN ACTIVE MARINE.
9/03/08

McCain has never really earned anything. He is from a wealth pampered background and not fit to lead this nation.

A “war hero” doesn’t finished 894th out of 899 and still get stationed at a Navy champagne unit and promoted ahead of all but two of his 898 other classmates.

A “war hero” doesn’t crash three U.S. Navy jets out of sheer incompetence and ineptitude, including two during non-combat training sessions.

A “war hero” doesn’t get written up on drunk-and-disorderly, fraternization, disobeying orders, and insubordination charges more than two dozen times in less than three years.

A “war hero” doesn’t get promoted to squadron commander of the air field named after his own grandfather immediately after crashing his third airplane. A “war hero” doesn’t have all the military records that cover his time in Vietnam and all disciplinary actions against him censored and sealed “as a matte r of national security.” A “war hero” doesn’t get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact “for bravery” for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because he’s the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals. A “war hero” doesn’t repeatedly cheat on the wife who’s back in the states waiting for him, and then cheat on her more when he returns to the states, and then divorce and abandon her.

A “war hero” doesn’t systematically vote against every single pay and benefit increase for military and veterans throughout his entire political career, all the while claiming to be “the soldier’s Congressman,” and then take credit for the passage of a G.I. benefits bill he that voted AGAINST. A “war hero” McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom. McCain’s second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. “Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula,” Timberg wrote, “he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.”

McCain’s third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg reported that McCain radioed, “I’ve got a flameout” and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees. McCain’s fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms an d a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi. For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals. “McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs — the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. “Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continues, “that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys — grunts on the ground — who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison

The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down.” For years, McCain has been an unchecked master at manipulating an overly friendly and biased news media. The former POW turned Congressman, turned U.S. Senator, has managed to gloss over his failures as a pilot by exaggerating his military service and lying about his feats of heroism. McCain has sprouted a halo and wings to become America’s POW-hero presidential candidate.
This article was written by an active, unnamed Marine. It was published by Gale Toensing founder of the Corner Report.com and she sent it to me. It is a true account of McCain’s real war record and evidence of his lack of fitness for the office of President.

A fair amount of people actually, are you really that ignorant of both the news and the lit forums? Hell most right wingers are having a hard time flat out condemning the flag from where I've been sitting.

Yes, sure. Everyone will take Trump seriously, just as they took Sarah Palin seriously.

McCain really wasn't THAT crazy.

The idea that we shouldn't want career politicians is another absurd idea. In no other job in the world would we run around screaming that we want amatuers. Okay maybe porn but that's about it.

Besides that, anyone who really wants the leader of their nation going around just firing off whatever is in his mind at the time is dumb enough to deserve having such a person with his/her future in their hands.

 

[Sean Renaud]

That too. It just drives me nuts when people are like 'oh he's got no political background and he's not a lawyer, lets elect him to write laws for the country!' or in the case of a president since overriding a veto is impossible realistic terms 'lets have the final arbiter of what becomes law be someone who has no working knowledge of it!' That's fucking brilliant. I wouldn't let you referee a goddamn peewee football league if you couldn't at the very least rattle off all the rules of football off the top of your head!

But yeah I can only imagine how much international bullshit Trump would cause when he got up and called some world leader an idiot.

No its not! Term limits should be the law

 

[sr71plt]

What do term limits have to do with it? (And term limits are written into the law to varying degrees).

Another shallow thinker? Never heard of building blocks of experience? When was the last time you heard of someone stepping out of college into the CEO spot of a major corporation (unless it was family owned and he/she was family)? Why should it be any different in political life? The most prepared presidents have been ones who put together a varied number of political positions on the way to the presidency--including ideally Senate and governor terms and, as gravy, a collection of agency heads, ambassadorships, and, yes, business CEO responsibilities. Bush #1 was actually the best prepared president we've had in many decades.

That, if anything, was the kicker with Obama. He couldn't wait until he was prepared for the job. He didn't go the building block route before he hit the top, so he didn't understand the art of negotiation, not overextending what you can deliver, and respect for the offices held on the way up.

Trump would cope for, maybe, seven minutes in office.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Exactly. And while I'm less inclined to think they should have a whole lot of business experience that's exactly right.

And my reason for thinking business experience is overrated boils down to a few main reasons. Business owners for the most part don't negotiate, they demand. The President isn't a dictator. Even in corporations the board has a lot less power in practice than Congress does. The other is that a country isn't supposed to turn a profit and as long as you have control of your currency they really can't go bankrupt. (Which isn't an excuse for not getting budgets under control It's just to point out that a company couldn't do like America and most of the world has done and run up debts for 30 years and still be kicking around. Well they could and do but that's a whole nother story.)

No its not! Term limits should be the law

Term limits as my esteemed colleague points out have nothing to do with the fact that people should be highly experienced prior to becoming president and ideally even before becoming Senators or Governors. However term limits are another stupid idea for stupid people that does more harm than good.

Basically that boils down to you again want a bunch of rookies running the world. The moment the President finds out that the Senator from Illinois is the guy to talk to if you want shit done he's out of office. Brilliant plan. In a well run country the people at that level of government would all be very familiar with each other. I mean like Boehner should know when Reid's grand kids get a new puppy because they go out for dinner once a month and play golf.

Lets face it, the only reason we have term limits at all is that when the Republicans had to call in a personal favor from the Grim Reaper to get rid of FDR he told them that was a one time only deal so they changed the law. It's not logical at all.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Besides that, anyone who really wants the leader of their nation going around just firing off whatever is in his mind at the time is dumb enough to deserve having such a person with his/her future in their hands.

But the POTUS affects everyone's future including foreigners', who cannot vote for the office and do not in any way deserve the result.

Dumb Rick Perry To Dumb Donald Trump: MEEEEEE-OW! SCRATCH! HISS!


Tweedledee discloses TweedelDum's real character!

http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Machine_gun_cat.gif​

Guess former Texas governor and current GOP clown car rumble seat occupant Rick Perry doesn’t like being called the second biggest stupid in the world, just behind Sen. Lindsey Graham. In a speech delivered Wednesday to some cohort of idiots assembled by his super PAC, Perry thought he’d set the record straight on who is the real idiot, and also who is destroying the Republican Party, and also who is literal ass cancer embodied in human Republican form. Surprise, it is Donald Trump!

Rick continues:

The White House has been occupied by giants. But from time to time it is sought by the small-minded – divisive figures propelled by anger, and appealing to the worst instincts in the human condition.

In times of trouble, there are two types of leaders: repairers of the breach and sowers of discord.

The sower of discord foments agitation, thrives on division, scapegoats certain elements of society, and offers empty platitudes and promises. He is without substance when one scratches below the surface.

He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued.

Let no one be mistaken – Donald Trump’s candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded.

Donald Trump the reality television star is a great generator of ratings. But Donald Trump the candidate is a sower of division, wrongly demonizing Mexican-Americans for political sport.

* my bold.

Have you seen Lindsey Graham how to destroy your phone yet? The Republicans might be on to something though, more Americans vote in American Idol than in Presidential elections. So how do you fix this? Well you make the US presidential race into an American Idol style reality show!

Someone get Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann on the horn. You don't have a reality show until you have a couple hot chicks. And when one is a witch and the other wrestles bears for fun, the rich kid, the token hispanic, all you need is to find a gay guy and this shit could be the biggest show in history and one that only gets one season every four years!

True, but I was responding to someone who obviously can't look beyond his/her own nose, so I didn't think there was a prayer being able to cope with the suggestion that anyone else was involved.
