Trump doesnt like being upstaged by a woman

> not heard much from her lately

What we heard in July was that Alaska is rilly rilly far away and it's hard for her to get down here to the lower 48.

Oh crap I just realized something: there's an international BORDER between here and Alaska.

And we all know planes can't go over international borders.

Which is why a border wall will work bigly.

QED.

Telling detail:

On Aug. 2, a few days after the Democratic convention, I went to a Trump rally in Ashburn, Va. I was there interviewing protesters and Trump supporters who gathered outside the venue because the event had sold out, and they couldn’t get in. The protesters were mostly high school students — Muslim, Latino, black, Asian, white — and the Trump supporters were mostly white and older. Their exchanges were surprisingly respectful.

When the rally ended and Trump supporters who made it into the venue walked by, the mood shifted. The ones who had attended the rally were ready for a fight. One woman started yelling and cursing at the protesters. When I lifted my camera to film her, she grabbed the camera and tried to throw it down, screaming, “Put the f—ing camera down!” When my grip on the camera outmatched hers, she looked at me as if I were a piece of trash. While we stood and looked at each other, it finally hit me: We really are in danger. Although I was still disgruntled with the DNC and not enthusiastic about Clinton, I began to realize I couldn’t let Trump get near the White House.

Climate change legislation? What would that be? Do you think the government can pass laws to affect the weather? Do you really believe Mother Nature will comply? Or do you mean the government will pass laws to restrict my activities? Yeah, no, not something I am behind. Women have a choice. Don't get knocked up. Finances favor the wealthy. That's the perk of being rich.

I could almost stomach Trump as president if a hurricane leveled his palace.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 October 2016 17:20 (seven years ago) link

the destruction of mar a lago would give trump a sweet excuse to skip the debate

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 6 October 2016 17:34 (seven years ago) link

whether the damage is minimal or it destroys it completely, we can definitely count on Trump giving an utterly tone-deaf response

The devastation of this hurricane has been yuge. Just yuge. It's gonna take forever for my people to replace that carpet, believe me. It was a very against-palaces hurricane.

ROFL:

In a sunny sitting room where windows overlook the green sprawl of his property, Springsteen discusses the genesis of the book, his struggles with depression, the future of his career and much more, staying silent on only one topic. When I mention my horror at the sight of Donald Trump–endorsing New Jersey governor Chris Christie pumping his fist and singing along to the lines "poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king" at a recent concert in Brooklyn, Springsteen laughs until he turns red. When he catches his breath, he says, "I have no comment."

"God clearly has liberal bias." or "Crooked Hillary's emails, wherever they are- hear me out. I will release my tax returns when Crooked Hillary shows us the emails she deleted to climate scientists urging them not to give us fair warning. On the other hand, if they didn't know, what are we paying them for? They don't know anything! They're losers. It's a waste."

It never occurred to me before now, but its entirely conceivable that Trump has never voted period.

What was it - I paused to think - what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of Mar-a-Lago?

Miami-Dade and even Broward counties are looking increasingly good. About 20 minutes ago Matthew was parallel to the county's north border, so we're at 5 percent chance of hurricane force winds. I don't want to jinx it, but for us in MDC it's looking like a four-day weekend.

Respectable gun owners need to inform others of their ilk that the NRA is a garbage organization comprised of shit people who are ultimately going to do gun owners more harm than good.

The Butthole, The Whole Butthole, and Nothing But The Butthole (Old Lunch), Thursday, 6 October 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link

Trump worried that the terminally ill vote might sway the election is really something

Respectable gun owners

I dispute your premise.

there are no respectable gun owners xp

idk my neighbor seems pretty nice but I haven't seen him lately

the last time I saw him at the gas station he was wearing hunting camo from head to toe, so it's possible I have seen him in his yard and not realized it

dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Thursday, 6 October 2016 19:02 (seven years ago) link

I think owning guns is dumb and unnecessary and that the 2nd amendment should totally be repealed but I'm not going to paint all gun owners with the same broad brush.

The Butthole, The Whole Butthole, and Nothing But The Butthole (Old Lunch), Thursday, 6 October 2016 19:06 (seven years ago) link

I mean the brush is just "it is unacceptable to own a gun", I think "respectable gun owners" should get rid of their guns

in other news, my friend heard what sounded like a couple gunshots several blocks south of his home on a saturday, during the day, probably near this barber shop on a main street

kind of distressing but not as distressing as his neighbor across the street looking all alert and popping out of his home all strapped. I think my friend gave him the "wtf dude, put that away and go home" talk.

dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Thursday, 6 October 2016 19:09 (seven years ago) link

gunshots bad, guy who thinks the right reaction when you hear a gunshot is to go grab your gun and run several blocks toward the sound of gunfire is o_O

Fish, Barrel, so to speak, but this is always hair raising every month.
