No doubt - but he hasn't got a clue.

Homo sapiens originated in Africa. Get over it, folks. Everybody's from somewhere.

What, Jesus said we couldn't walk on the moon? Must have missed that part.

WV loves his *money* and his faux 'success'.

If he was a poor man, they'd beat the shit out of him daily until he was dead, as he's an asshole.

The dumbfucks who don't believe in evolution would dispute that. My point is that current DNA technology can pinpoint where your ancestors came from 25,50,100,150 years ago. WHY this is important for Americans is 1. We have, since the first day "Europeans" set foot in the New World, been fucking/screwing/having sex with everyone who was close enough to grab. This included indigenous people (who mostly died from contact because they died from all the innocuous European viruses like the "common cold" as well as horrors like smallpox) and more importantly, Africans who were forcibly brought here (and many became freedmen/women). 2. There was MASSIVE mixing of these populations all over the Mediterranean. 3. DNA proved that this "mixing" has been continuous throughout our history well into the 20thcentury even though there has been an endogamous colorline in effect since 1690. 4. 74 million Americans who put ONLY White on their census form have 5%-20% African DNA meaning that their great great grandparent-grandparent had 100% DNA from Africa. 5. Again there is no race in human biology. 6. The point is bigots are people who should be forced to do the DNA test. 7. Fuck the bigots.

I know what you mean. And I'm not disagreeing. It's just a couple days ago I started vividly imagining him turning out to have been completely knowing in his conspiracy with Russia and actually able to be focus. In this phantasm in my mind he's either always been able to focus/think normally and he just enjoys is incoherent bombastic style, or he's only able to focus on criminal enterprises. So the image is I get up one morning turn on the TV and BOOM! He's been busted for espionage and is sitting there calmly and defiantly acknowledging it. "So what of it? Yeah, I conspired with the Russians to rig the election. So what." And we are all agog. He resigns and justice takes its course. This is entirely unlikely. But a vivid image. 😳

Greater election losses: McGovern '72, Mondale '84. Gigantic blowouts. This election on the other hand was a sort of a tie.

Plus I just have to say, because it bugs my ass so bad, that being embarrassed and pitching a giant lying fit because you're lost an election even if you expected to win it, isn't a thing. People don't lie about that. Yes, Trump would. But no one else does. So that should always be laugh that. Or vomited on.

Yours is a possibility. However, if past behaviour is any indication of future behaviour, then Mr. tRump, is no genius as he's shown none thus far. In fact, without his father's money and the help of quite a few members of the mob, he'd be living his dying days out right now in a halfway house in NJ.His zenith is now, and is sadly another example of the money-power relationship.

A great loss. Not that anybody thinks Hillary Clinton is perfect, or even that she would have been a great president, maybe. But she was fully qualified and could have done the job! She wasn't under the delusion that the U.S. Presidency is a television show, or that reality is malleable depending on camera angles and makeup, and she certainly never thought it was unnecessary to have a clue about law or international affairs, and most of all she never thought the way to be President was to refuse to take advice from anybody, ever, and demand total mindless loyalty.She even has an attention span somewhat longer than thirty seconds.

You're absolutely right about Schneiderman. He's already made it his life's work to make Trump's life miserable with lawsuits galore.

I found his head writer on social media, hopefully he will read it and decide on it.

With Trump what may to the rest of us seem entirely unlikely could be plausible.

Make and sell those hats.

Exactly. Will he turn out to be the imbecile he appears to be? Or once he's busted and, I was going to say put on trial but he'll probably trade the presidency for his freedom, will he turn out to have been cunning?

I guess I'm struck by how on the phone call with the Mexican president it's clear that his "populist" (meaning racist) rhetoric is a lie to manipulate his base. And it makes me wonder how much more he understands things then he appears to. Like actually taking instructions from the Russian government for a clearly stated quid pro quo. We shall see. I fucking hope.

I'd hold off on that hope right now. It now appears that Trump is actively instigating his followers into thinking of Civil War.

But, isn't that what America is all about?
