Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Until Cruz and Trump say enough idiotic things to take themselves out of the running, the smartest thing Iowa Republicans can do tomorrow is to caucus for Bernie Sanders. That's the best long-term play.

 

Could there be a bigger indictment of the education system than the fact the Sanders campaign believes those kids will be overwhelmingly for the declared Socialist?

 

Anecdotal, for sure, but I happened to be in two swing state college towns this weekend and young Bernie supporters were out everywhere.

 

Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

Why Donald Trump Will Always Be a “Short-Fingered Vulgarian”

 

Brutal.

Why Libs Lose, Part 9,745,073: I am currently on suspension from Daily Kos comments sections for "degrading, undignified and dehumanizing" references to several GOP candidates and right-wing media figures. They especially don't like references to Christie's weight, referring to Carson as a Stepin Fetchit, the dubious masculinity of numerous candidates and what they regard as "beyond the pale of dignity" references to Trump's tastes for incest. They're also upset over what they regard as "implicit calls for direct confrontation."

They'll probably win the Miss Manners Award for Courteous Campaigning while President Trump is ass-fucking Ivanka on the Capitol steps on Inauguration Day.

Time to drop the fucking hammer.

 

Yeah, banning you means liberals have no chance in the elections.

 

If attacking Trump is going to be constrained by standards of "dignity," the libs might as well just grab the Vaseline and bend over.

 

Starman Justice is not for the frail ...

 

Think how great this country could be if the Democrats put Starman in charge of the party to get the right person elected, who could then name him head of NASA.
