“I don’t know”

Indeed.

Wouldn’t be allowed to return during a Trump Presidency? Why not? Either way, they’d still be in Wingnutistan.

I don’t know-how about the local megachurch where a large % of their members are “loaded for bear”? What an ignoramus.

Wait, what about the domestic terrorists?

“Trump Says He’d ‘Absolutely’ Close US Mosques.”

He could hire unemployed tea baggers and oaf keepers.

Give them “very beautiful, very classy” armbands with a gold lamé “T”.

They could goosestep and call themselves Clownshirts.

That’s very racist. Guess religious freedom is only for the people with the dead Jew on a cross.

You know Raw Story has some great stuff on it:

A. Brian Kilmeade wants to lecture the government on Fox and Friends how things should be done but he can’t even figure out how a car door works.

B. In Norway, the word ‘Texas’ is becoming slang for ‘totally crazy.’

C’mon Josh, get this stuff onto TPM!

“You’re going to have to certainly look at it.”

“Look at it.” He’s always looking at things, this guy, he will certainly look at things, you’re going to have to look at things, we’ll be looking looking looking at the things things things!!! Of course you have to certainly maybe know who else looks at things?

I’d be happy if Trump would keep the chem-trail dust off my Cheerios.

I love that haircut. Does Kim know he’s a Capitalist Tool for an ice cream chain?

Will these make me look fat?!

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Tuesday that he’d
“absolutely” close mosques and withdraw some people’s passports to
combat the Islamic State terror group here at home.
…

How convenient of him to ignore the 1st amendment.
HEY DONNIE (taps his shoulder) … the President does not have authority to close houses of worship.
Now if some idiot were to go and fight on the side of ISIS that would ne treason and THEN they could lose citizenship and their passport BUT again it is NOT up to the President to make that determination.
What a raging fuckwad this guy is.

mattinpa · October 21, 2015, 6:08pm

Wow—I thought I knew some trivia but that’s a new one on me.

steviedee111 · October 21, 2015, 6:10pm

Trump is telling crowds Obama is soon to sign an executive order demanding all citizens turn in their guns. Trump thinks the President can do whatever he wants. That’s why he’s running.

Equally troubling is the crowds lap it up, believing it too. Conservatives are very stupid, gullible people.

mattinpa · October 21, 2015, 6:20pm

Now Darr, he did say he was only contemplating closing mosques that were loaded for bear. Knowing you as I do, I certainly hope and trust you don’t think mosques should be loaded for bear. There are reasonable restrictions on all our civil rights and I’m sure we could agree that mosques shouldn’t be loaded for bear, even if we’re not exactly sure what that means.

And here I thought the GOP was proffering up their “best 'n brightest” for our perusal and eventual coronation as Dictator in Chief. SOMEBODY should inform “The Donald” as to the actual powers and limitations that exist for the office of President.
As I said in my last post … what a raging fuckwad this guy is.
I don’t like using curse words in a public forum and i have noticed that over the past month or so my usage of them has skyrocketed. I blame the GOP idiots and Trump in particular for this coarsening turn of events. It’s a shame really. 35 years ago we elected a former actor to be President but he had put in considerable time learning the craft of politics before running as Governor of California and then yet more time running to be President. Trump on the other hand has done next to no preparation of any kind at all. He thinks he can waltz in and buy his way into office. And then everyone will wait on his dictates and pronouncements. The President is NOT a CEO. Trump does not understand that basic fact.

So, next time an abortion clinic gets torched or bombed we’ll start shutting down Christian churches? What?

krusher · October 21, 2015, 6:22pm

Hey, I’m just talking off the top of my head here.

steviedee111 · October 21, 2015, 6:22pm

Not the Palestinians?!
