Ya know, I’m not really that familiar with Donald Trump. I haven’t really heard much about him or what he has said about this. I’d like to hear more, because some people know more than me, and also Benghazi.

Same software bug Rubio had on the debate stage, repeating the same talking point verbatim no matter how the question is phrased. Must be one of those things the GOP bot help-desk people call a “known issue” when you try to get it straightened out.

One would think that in order to be the Chair of the House Armed Forces Committee, the first requirement would to have at least served in the military! However in the Republican House that’s not a requirement!

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX)

Would someone point out to me what Thornberry has done in the past, to rate being the Chairman of such a committee, one that deals with the U S military?
Maybe just being a Class A-1 suck-up qualifies him!

Yep that Iron Curtain is going to be a tough one to tear down.

“The chair of the House Armed Services Committee, would not say whether he believes Donald Trump is prepared to be president.”

He later clarified, unequivocally and without hesitation, that Trump was eminently qualified to be President.

Of Russia.

This both sides argument they provoke at every opportunity needs to be shut down. Republicans (who are still supporting HO or waffling), you are some seriously fucked-up entities. Hillary has flaws, like any person, any politician – but if you put her flaws anywhere near the same universe that houses HO and his clusterfuck of a campaign, what he’s said, his illegal business activities over years, his shystering Trump Foundation (which is way overdue for a thorough audit by the IRS and whatever other agencies regulate non-profits), Trump University, the numerous housing projects that went bankrupt (except he sang all the way to the bank), his casinos that left all the other investors high and dry, his connections to Russian mob, the hacking of the DNC, his call for 2nd Amendment people to take care of Hillary, this childish–yet quite dangerous–meme about Hillary’s health, etc. … if you even attempt to equate Hillary’s flaws with all that is Trump and the Trump Crime Family, you are never to be trusted again … with anything. May whatever god you believe in have some mercy on your soul when it comes time for your reckoning.

He just can’t come out and say ‘Fuck No’ that’s why.

Trump is exceptionally fitted and perfectly suitable to lead the deranged right of the political spectrum. But he isn’t the least bit qualified to govern the USA or command the world’s largest military.

The most powerful man in the world will soon be a woman, not an orangutan with the demeanor of a squirrel monkey.

These Republican politicians in the U.S. House and Senate are tip-toeing around on the issue of Trump this fall, in fear of losing their cushy, well-paid, (about $180,00 plus full benefits and retirement pensions) part-year employment. I think they were actually in Washington, DC less than 160 days last year, and that included days they actually went to a meeting or voted on some actual bill in the Caplitol building.

Loss of job would be devastating to them, and they only think as far as the next election. They don’t “think” about anything else, they never “think” about what a legacy they will have for refusing to stand up to the fascist, misogynistic, arrogant incompetent idiot the Republican Party is trying to sell the American voter for prez this year. Woe to them all. Too bad they won’t see their ultimate doom coming within the next few years, they are just too stupid and self-centered to focus upon real issues.

I may have to release my new book, Profiles in Cowardice, in two volumes. I understand they want to protect their party, but please; that ship sailed a long, long time ago. No experience in government, a narcissistic bully with the temperament of a four-year old and a short attention span (not to mention stubby fingers.) Yeah, that’s the guy I want to support.

Two volumes, with biographic info on each and every Republican supporting that “narcissistic bully with the temperament of a four-year old and a short attention span (not to mention stubby fingers.)”

It would be a big, big (bigly?) two volume set, maybe complete with photos, subtitle the book set “Ship of Fools”.

Thanks for your most generous offer, epicurus, but I try my hardest in my later years to spend as little time as possible dwelling upon the dolts in Congress, and working to get fewer of them to wind up there. Donald Trump may be helping me this year in a few key districts and states who may “dump the dolts” and elect a Democrat or at least a person as independent as Sen. Angus King from Maine or the honorable Sen. Bernie Sanders from Vermont. Two rather wonderfully refreshing gentlemen who prove you don’t have to be a Democrat to have a brain, (although it helps get to get one elected sometimes).

Also, in those few precious years that I may have left, (approaching 70 and fast here, before the year is over), I would like to think some energetic 18-58 year olds would be more intelligent voters than some of the older white guys (especially the more clueless white ones than me) as we all naturally and inevitably succumb to the grim reaper.
