How often does this kind of satire opportunity come up?
Whether or not Trump really does file the required financial disclosure, his run will be the greatest piece of political performance art in world history. The only thing better would be if he does file and actually makes it onto the debate stage.
He’s like one of those sci-fi monsters who gains strength from being attacked.

And so full of truthiness.

Thank you Stephen Colbert…I needed that. I miss watching him before beddy-bye.
Hopefully, he’ll still be doing his political satire on Letterman’s old show in September. By then, I’ll probably be experiencing massive overload with all the media crap accompanying these outrageous money-grubbing campaigns. A good belly laugh now and again, to dampen the worries I have over any of these rightwing nutcases sitting in the Oval Office, will certainly be appreciated.
Long live satire!

So in the moment, Stephen. The Donald only started his latest froth of the mouth yesterday.

It wasn’t a romance novel, it was Molly Bloom’s monologue from Joyce’s Ulysses. And oddly enough, yesterday, when Trump announced, it was Bloomsday, the day that the events in the book take place (June 16). Colbert is a freaking genius.

That was so bizarre and so on the money it’s kinda scary.
This also reminds me that Colbert is an excellent actor and I’d kinda like to see more of him doing that.

Satire and stupidity, but Trump will probably be on the debate stage. And I am already seeing blog comments in support, citing Trump’s telling it like it is.

It took until the “backwash” joke for chimpy and the boyfriend killer to realize that Colbert might not be an actual conservative.

In fairness, it should be pointed out that Ulysses was the classiest, most luxuriantly appointed romance novel.

I was hoping someone would bring up the fact that it was the Molly Bloom soliloquy. I had not made the connection with June 16 – you, futureballa, are one smart cookie yourself!

Couldn’t make it through a 20 month campaign without comedians commenting on the clowns.

But to be honest, spoofing Trump is like shooting the proverbial fish in a barrel.
As I understand it, the first two debates will occur before trump has to officially declare, so even if he bails, he will still provide the comedy gold we so enjoy.
Alright, risk-taker that I am, Mr. Vegas, actually am making the call right here and now, Trump will bail.
Trump, like Romnerd are both giving wealthy pricks a bad name. I mean, aren’t there charm school classes any more? Can’t these guys buy a personality? Who invests or divests for that matter with guys that are trending downwards? Are Republicans shorting them?
The hot tip right now is, go short on Romnerd and Trump. These two magnificently unimpressive long shots are guaranteed to underperform and pay off handsomely in that right.
When the wealthy jerk caucus loses, America wins. Woo woo!
