The Creamsicle is too busy screaming about the non-existent sex tape to talk about this. Besides, it’s about selflessness, a topic with which is not familiar at all.

And geez, Josh. In the last graph it’s ‘hear’ not ‘here.’ I realize copyediting is a chore and boring sometimes and yes, I understand this is a homonym that computers miss but christ onna crutch, copyediting is necessary because without it you look like a damned fool.

If you think she is not "offering a positive vision of what she would do", You’re not paying attention

Honestly, you can get obsessed with Trump loathing but it’s so, so refreshing to hear Hillz laying out a positive vision. You have to think, after all these years, she really is committed to realizing a goal of making things better. Turning from his mind and world to hers is like going from a miasmic swamp to a sunny mountain meadow.

Mattin, if von Clownstick’s campaign does anything, it reinforces the importance of hiring a competent plumber, carpenter or auto mechanic.

There’s a T. H. White book, “Mistress Masham’s Repose,” that has an eccentrically erudite impoverished character called The Professor, and one passage goes like this: “Perhaps the maddest of his schemes was that, when he had been made the Premier, he would choose educated people to be his ministers, just as one chooses a trained dentist to pull one’s teeth out, instead of going to the nearest quack at a street corner who likes to scream from the top of a tub that he ‘opposes toothache.’ The Professor was silly enough to think that if doctors had to pass examinations before they could cut out his appendix, then members of parliament ought to pass examinations before they could rule his life.”

You can always tell what is really damaging Trump at any given moment by the top story on Faux News. This has been it all day long…

That’s great news. That will really go over well in the next debate.
Never one to disappoint, Trump’s Razor suggests to us that Mr. Trump will find a way to embarrass himself even worse than he did on Monday night. And it looks like we now know his method.

“It is never just one person, not even someone as powerful as the president,” she said, adding that positive achievements have “always happened because people have worked together.”

Exactly this and I wish more people realized, or understood or were taught, that progress in this country is made by small groups of people working locally and then pushing those advancements up through larger groups until it reaches the federal government.

So this really is the crux of the issue. If you listen to Trump supports it is all about how they will personally benefit from a Trump presidency. Not how the poor will be taken care of, or healthcare for all Americans, or preserving Medicare for the elderly, ensuring quality education for everyone, equality in marriage or protecting minority right - just Me, Me, Me. I got mine, sucks to be you. Secretary Clinton has spent a lifetime in service to others. Donald Trump has spent a lifetime servicing himself.

And…Donald Trump has spent a lifetime servicing Euro-trash bimbos as no modern American woman would have him!

Go, Madam President! Underline true American values and service. Draw the contrasts.

I’m admiring her campaign strategy. Careful planning, focus, flawless execution. How will she govern? Just watch how she campaigns. This high-minded what America is really about is the aspirational side; the bait Donald with a tweet or a former Miss U is the get-inside-his-head side is the other, psyops side. She’s playing both sides. She will govern well.

Hillary’s with a 103-year old woman who’s voting in Iowa. She was born before women had the right to vote.

We need more of this. Trump’s America doesn’t really exist. He’s imitating what he has read in those Hitler speeches he keeps by his bedside (and denies reading…), hoping to ride people’s insecurities, fears, and prejudices into high office, just like his idol.

Imho, “TOG” is and has always been regurgitating what he sees and hears on the sites and shows of the furthest, most abominable RWNJ’s cuz that’s where the ACTUAL repugnican base voter has been living for the past couple of decades. The fact that is sounds like fascism is cuz repugnicans HATE real democracy.

    • error: ‘The fact that it…sounds like fascism…’

Habitat for Humanity. No you won’t get your face on TV. Yes, you’ll sleep better and have some well earned peace. New blisters can be a comforting experience.

Many other good NGOs out there. Community based, science oriented, education focused, etc.

Good comments but I am afraid talk radio has created a dark and frightening America. We have problems but nothing like the problems Trump, talk radio and Fox News suggest. Our real problems that can be solved if we all work together. The biggest is figuring out a way to get more money in the hands of consumers.
