Edward posted Horrible false equivalency cartoon
Inciting racial violence and hatred is "saying mean things?" Promising to create government enforcement squads to forcibly split up families and expel them from the country is "saying mean things?" Getting caught for racial housing discrimination is "saying mean things?" Threatening to abandon our treaty obligations and allies is "saying mean things?" Openly opining about why we aren't using nuclear weapons is "saying mean things?" Bragging about committing larceny and cheating small businesses is "saying mean things?"
Clinton's list of "crimes" is a guilty verdict in search of evidence. Trump's casino business partners all died in a helicopter crash and then he blamed the failure of the businesses on them. Presumably Hillary Clinton killed them in exchange for future campaign contributions from Trump.

And there you have it. Pointing out that Trump is a racist bigot, ignorant of foreign affairs, keen to use nuclear weapons, and a business cheat will never sway Trump supporters away from him. Why? Because those are precisely the things Trump's supporters like in him.

Ed posted More Trump humor
Meanwhile, you keep plugging away. It's the hardest work you've ever done. You walk out in the white cap and you rant for an hour about stuff that means nothing and the fans scream and wave their signs and you wish you could level with them for once and say one true thing: I love you to death and when this is over I will have nothing that I want.
I don't think Garrison was trying to be funny.

According to the San Diego Union Tribune, Trump has earmarked "at least 5 million and as many as 6.5 million for swift removal".
I don't know if this is like swift boating and I would bet that neither does he.
Since he will never be elected, I guess we'll never know, unless, like "Strange" Robert McNamara he comes clean in his autobiography, tentatively titled
Fast Times at the New York Military Academy or How I Developed my Chckenshit Ways.
BTW, how many of the faithful here have had their job usurped by a dumb, low wage, unskilled wetback?
-Jes Askin
Funny that Trump didn't mention Brock ih his speech.
Brock Turner, sex assault convict, leaves jail after serving half a 6-months sentence

"But the ultimate satisfaction is calling out the libtards on their sanctimonious open-mindedness."
A little sanctimonius in the use of the word 'libtard', don't you think, Reilly?
Anyway, as far as Riley's blather...about 90% of it is repetitive, content-less blather. Wall-of-text, madbolter1-on-meth style blather that contains more ad hominems than actual thoughts.
Susan nailed it...again.

Apogee - We are fortunate to have such a dedicated hall-monitor. You do an excellent job of reprimanding those nasty rightwingers.
If only we had someone, as dedicated, to admonish those mean old lefties.
If only.

Oh man. That's a great quote. Radical's getting mad that other people aren't as self-righteously judgmental as he is.

It is far better to understand the universe does not care than to persist in verbal masturbation, however satisfying and reassuring.
Sure. What you believe is true - it's just "understanding." What other people believe is masturbation - they're just forming beliefs to pleasure themselves. And what you do, what you believe, how you believe, is "far better."
But over time we might understand that our unwavering belief that our own beliefs are the result of understanding, while other people's belief processes are just masturbation, is really just part of our own belief masturbation process. Enjoy! It's taken the universe 4 billion years to get us here. Our poor deluded universe hasn't been able to produce "far better", at least not yet.

There's not going to be a President Trump.
There's not going to be a wall, nor Deportation Force.
There's not going to be a savior beamed in from Area 51.
There is going to be a woman President.
It won't be Jill Stein.
It will be Hillary Clinton.
White men will moan.
White men will groan.
Life will go on.
For the better.

Why is Trump such a whiny little b*tch when things don't go his way? HIs photo op with President Nieto didn't really help him much.
For someone who is so full of himself he sure seems insecure.
Is all this bluster and bombast some sort of compensation mechanism?

oh my rbord, are you REALLY taking all this stuff seriously?
We are ALL verbally masturbating. It's ST for gawd's sake.
Everyone's thoughts have value. Tone and style, however, can either be exciting and engaging or boring and self serving.
I'm bored this week. Next week road trip. I'll be happier.
