If the klan got up top in their cosplay robes to burn crosses, and once had wanted to send women and children first, there must be an easy way up.

I'd dare Trump to say a long complicated sentence with clauses like Biden did in that ad.

Their principals are financial, not Democratic.

Also, it could scarcely be plainer that Donald Trump does not give the faintest damn about his country's history, heroes, values -- or children.

She ticks all the Trump boxes: stupid, conservative, blond, gams.

Reading Travis Bickle’s diary, you say? Are you talking to me? Then who the hell are you talking to? Are you talking to me?

They’d probably say, “Dynamite the damn thing, then”.

Don't give Trump ideas. No, wait, he'll never be found anywhere near Wonkette, or reading anything either. Which is for the best. He'd absolutely love to carve his own features over all four faces on Mount Rushmore, and then paint them orange, if he only could. Any pretense he made of revering Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln or Roosevelt would be just that -- a pretense.

“There I was at Mar A Lago, they love me there! Great crowd, great Americans, there was Santa Claus, and his wife (she’s not that young) Mrs. Claus. All the Clauses, they love me too. Don’t forget my presents.”

The mention of Arnold reminded me of a thing he said once, that really stuck with me - I've never been able to find a video clip of it, and I believe he said it after he was out of office, but can't be sure. I was never a great fan of his, in film or politics, but I'll try to paraphrase his message because it was a good one, regardless of whether he himself upheld it. I believe he was defending a stance, by himself or someone else, which conservatives were not happy about.

He said something like this: When I ran for governor, I ran as a Republican. But when I stepped into office, it became my job to represent all of the people, not just the people who voted for me.

I don't know that he lived up to it all that well, but it is the way in which people should uphold the oath.

From the man who's been defacing (figuratively only--one hopes) our most sacred document, the Constitution.

Tapeworm makes sense--he's listless, slack-jawed, and eats for 2.

Not that I have a ton of sympathy for Trump, but I suspect the carnage he's foisting upon all of us is rooted in the kind of PTSD that comes from growing up in a family which knocks the emotional stuffing out of you every fucking day. Like I said, little or no sympathy for the man at this point, but I suspect his meanness, his knee-jerk cruelty, his need for constant adulation, inability to see past his own survival, or confront conflicting ideas, is all founded on the inner workings of an emotionally and ethically starved toddler. Too late for him, but not for us, I hope.

That man never ceases to impress me. He’s a real mensch.
