Thanks, SCOTUS.

Or should I say, “Thanks, Bush Family, for giving them to us”

This will get worse. Citizens United has opened up the floodgates for this. And the danger is not just the people like Trump and McAfee being the way they are, but also the (financial) ability they have to alter what’s left of the “Press” in the volume and slant in how they are portrayed to Joe and Jill Sixpack, who are usually the MSM reliable consumers.

And this last concern applies to reality in general.

The Pentagon spends trillions. Years ago, a fraction of that amount of money could have been designated for public financing of all elections…allowing for the best candidates.

If the Military were run like our politics, Chester Nimitz would have been Richie Rich

Ray Spruance would have been Lord Cupcake IV
Dwight Eisenhower would have been Thurston Howell II

I read his dossier, drunk, alleged murder, mysterious labs, dual citizenship…he is the poster boy of the gop/bag party!

Will Rogers said it all: “In America, anyone can grow up to be President: it’s a risk we all take.”

Uuuuuuuuummmmmmm, I got nothing. Insanity.

Imagine the circus, if you can, if Tom Cruise were to choose to run for president, or Caitlyn Jenner, or Charlie Sheen?

This is interesting, of course, and the Caligula comparison makes sense. But it does not explain why TPM ran this inconsequential madness as its top story.

35

At least he’s got a sense of humor, even if he’s bonkers.

I’ll stick with Norton anti-virus software. Thank you.

You left out the best part. His usage of “Bath Salts” and quest for the worlds most powerful aphrodisiac. Google “stuffmonger”
