    OOH! Here's a great game. Which Celebrity Apprentice participant would you most want to take down the presidency?

    Ian Ziering is a first round pick in this game.

    The difference is context. But in that Creosote doesn't have a history of racism like Trump does.

    "In addition to the president's burgeoning weight problem, doctors say he has an embarrassing shithole inflammation."

    Can you imagine if LBJ had?

    I bet Dick Durbin would have been shocked by the kinds of things he said.

    The tape of LBJ calling Haggar to order his pants is one of the greatest unintentional stand-up comedy routines ever.

    Yes, let's compare the language of 1968 with 2018. Only fifty years apart.

    Also, LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act.

    Other than that, perfect comparison, ConfederateFan.

    This is so funny. A little while ago, a guy I know on Facebook asked breathlessly, "When has a U.S. President ever said such vulgar things that newspapers couldn't even quote him?"

    I posted a photo of LBJ in response.

    Maybe Geraldo can unearth them.

    No, it wouldn’t.

    He won’t lose much support in the electorate, for anyone who is fine with the utterance and sentiment behind it would only love him more. Others, such as our board representative from The Ministry of Truth, would likely go down the road of, “Did you listen to The Geto Boys? Did you ever say anything when all those rappers say it? You’re part of the problem!”

    Also, as long as he’s a useful nopuppetnopuppet idiot for the GOP, nary a thing will be done.

    I think hearing a sitting president using the N-word would force the GOP, finally, to say that the situation is no longer tenable.

    I could very well be wrong.

    I am not sure we should be so certain Trump isn't losing support from his past voters since a poll taken in Georgia (!!) has his approval rating at 37 percent.
