Yeah, well, the minions are hopeless. They are not the audience for this evisceration.

Re: the tv cameras
Just have a few people set up cell phones in various parts of the room. Horizontal mode; you’ll need the width if you want to capture all of Trump, and maybe reactions of the other attendees. That’s how Mitt Romney was “outed.”

Better bring two packs if Ben Carson is in attendance.

Heh. “Dietys” have never worked for me.

There was some Bible verse that people were using in regards to Obama which the SECOND line of called for HIS death and DEATH of all his line (ie his kids) as they were an anathema before God.

It was a really UGLY Biblical verse. I remember being shocked.

It’s a troll, as most you and @irasdad and myself and most of the rest of the Hive regulars no doubt recognize.

Bots, trolls, and chaos-agents in the Hive threads, friends. Don’t feed 'em.

My Zen teacher taught the parable of the bodhisattva who was willing to take on the bad karma of killing in order to prevent worse suffering.

And that entity in which I don’t believe is called a “deity.”

A mushroom penis and shriveled nuts.

How appealing.

clemmers · May 23, 2019, 4:25pm

Oops! You are correct.

OK, I was only off by six zeros …

Fixed. Thx.

esp. after Romney’s 47% speech.

Afghanistan Vet Mayor Pete Buttigieg Says Trump Faked a Disability To Get Out of Vietnam
Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Trump used his ‘privileged status’ to avoid the draft and send someone else to war in his place.

The phones are all supposed to be left outside. I thought they ‘really’ began watching the phones after Omarosa (btw, I thought she was pretty smart to have TWO phones on her at all times and thus nobody noticed she still had one) began taping everybody and their cousin.

maxwellsdemon · May 23, 2019, 4:28pm

Or as (un)seen on trump’s tax returns - a “rounding error”.

squirreltown · May 23, 2019, 4:28pm

It’s just sticking to it that’s hard.

beelzabubba · May 23, 2019, 4:29pm

What? No shoe? His Russian handlers are slacking off on his training.

evave2 · May 23, 2019, 4:29pm

Did Sam Rayburn (like Lyndon Johnson) ‘also’ get FBI raw info on his membership so he had actual blackmail material, not just the ‘force of his personality’ to get things done?

philmore · May 23, 2019, 4:30pm

Not that I am aware of. Rayburn is most remembered for his integrity.

maracel · May 23, 2019, 4:31pm

I do thank you…

inversion · May 23, 2019, 4:32pm

I think that Omarosa had a ‘spy pen’ with her. Though Kelly instituted it, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s scaled back some.

mattinpa · May 23, 2019, 4:33pm

Where do people get these ideas that Pence would be anything but a placeholder and nonentity? He couldn’t get re-elected in Indiana. His style is blandly unctuous; not exactly what the rabble craves. I could see three or four primary challengers who’d prevail over him. Let his winning a term as president be the least of your fears.

Nailed it again, thank you.
