How do you fire Donald Trump? Well ... Keith Richards pulled a knife and actually an indication that The Turnip has always encouraged violence.

via Stuff NZ

That is, Richards, on hearing Trump had failed to keep his end of a deal struck ahead of the 1989 Steel Wheels tour, produced a knife and slammed it menacingly on the table before the tour promoter Michael Cohl with the words: "What the hell do I have you for? Do I have to go over there and fire [Trump] myself?/snipFretting a serious escalation, Cohl told Trump two words he is not used to: "I look at Donald and said, "You and Marla [Maples] have to go. You're fired." He looks at me and goes berserk."'You don't know anything! Your guys suck! I promote Mike Tyson! I promote heavyweight fights!' And I notice the three shtarkers he's with, in trench coats, two of them are putting on gloves and the other one is putting on brass knuckles."At this point Cohl remembers his head of tour security, Jim, was one step ahead of him and Trump's goons: "He says, 'Just turn around.'"I turn around. He's got 40 of the crew with tire irons and hockey sticks and screwdrivers."

Well of course you're entirely right. However, I had to pitch the playbook. Every time I opened it my IQ dropped.

I'd also be enraged if I had an anvil shaped head and my mom and dad had named me Corey.

I keep reading that as "Lebowski" but names lasting longer than 2 syllables tend to lose me. I've got to agree though, Lwndwski does look hot in a Jason Statham kinda way.

Internet anonymity is one of many reasons that civility has been drained from our public dialogue. In fact, we have a leading presidential contender who seems like the embodiment of an online comments section.

What is all the complaining about? After all the money tbe GOP spent teaching pigs to sing, they should be thrilled that it worked. Maybe they taught them the wrong song?

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "met" is.

Everyone knows Trump is just stuffing in a suit. Lewandowski works directly for the people behind the scenes, the ones with the REAL money and power. Trump's just a useful idiot who was headed for prison/bankruptcy/both anyway and does the bidding of his political masters. Trump jumps when Corey says 'boo'.

(am I doing this right?)
