Dang, you beat me to it:
ummm⌠that would be a chew toy for my dogsâŚ
on a more serious noteâŚ
homophobic misogynistic racist evangelical asshole doesnât seem to make any of the Republican âpresidentialâ aspirants seem to go away so how does that work again?
Can someone please guarantee me that Hillary will beat this clown?
kudos.
This is what he said in full in Beaumont TX. Clearly he wants a civilized world capital to become an American city.
âWhen you look at Paris â you know the toughest gun laws in the world, Paris â nobody had guns but the bad guys. Nobody had guns. Nobody,â Trump said at a rally here. âThey were just shooting them one by one and then they (security forces) broke in and had a big shootout and ultimately killed the terrorists.â
âYou can say what you want, but if they had guns, if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry ââ Trump said, pausing as the crowd erupted into raucous applause, ââ it wouldâve been a much, much different situation.â
Oh, so true, Mr. Trump â there would have been about five hundred people killed and eight hundred maimed. Feel better now?
Huh. Obama wonât verbally conflate terrorism and Islam the way the wingnuts demand and yet, somehow, bin Laden remains dead.
There are more guns in the hands of private individuals here in America than there are Americans. Open carry is the law here in many places already. trump is talking bellicose nonsense again. And it comes out of his yap as word salad as well.
Happy to do that. Hereâs one measure, likelihood of getting their partyâs nomination HRC 91% and tRump 19% (Rube at 48%)

Will somebody tell that clown that more people die every two days from gun violence in the United States than died in the horrible attack in the Paris Friday night.
Every two days. Year in, year out.
While the question in the debate was dumb, the candidates, and Hillary in particular, could have handled it better. Really the best response was from Bernie, who said âI donât think the term is whatâs important.â
In fairness to Hillary, the original question was directed to her, and the moderator pressed her on this more than he did Sanders or OâMalley. But if she had to explain, I think the better answer for Hillary to have given would have been something along the lines of âThe reason I prefer the term âjihadi terroristsâ is that it more clearly states where the threat is, and who we have to fight. People can have radical religious beliefs, but most people with radical religious beliefs do not crash planes into buildings or launch attacks like we saw in Paris â so the real issue is those who engage in violence and terrorism in order impose those beliefs on others. In other words, actual jihadi terrorists like Al Qaeda and ISIS.â
Hillary also struggled with her response to the âgotchaâ question about her previously saying that we should try to âunderstand,â and even ârespectâ our enemies. I thought her answer, while plenty reasonable, came off as kind of rambling and defensive, whereas she should have just said âBy ârespectâ I simply meant donât underestimate them, and the point of trying to âunderstandâ them is obviously not to excuse them, but to be better equipped to find their weaknesses and defeat them.â
[Edit: Yeah, I know, 20/20 hindsight, Monday Morning quarterbacking, armchair generalingâŚpick your metaphor, theyâre all true.]
While just about every one of these azzwipes ran away as fast as they could when it was their turn to serve⌠Just how many deferments did Trumpeter have?
Mrs. Trump the Third and First Daughter say they have given up on telling him anything. He prefers to remain in a fact-free world informed only by his asshatedness though he does claim to learn stuff from Meet The Press.
Still, excellent points, though.
Iâm not so worried about what the clown car on the other side thinks or acts.
What really worries me is that most of the beltway media believes the same thing. John Dickerson, head of political news for CBS, Chris Cilizza, in charge of Washington Post campaign coverage, Jake Tapper, the dumbasses at ABC news, they all repeat this same âradical islamicâ bullshit. "Whyohwhy wonât the Democrats just say it! SAY IT!!!" And let us not forget Chuckie Todd declaring that this is the âstrongestâ Republican field in a generation.
They are all embedded with the GOP. Thatâs what worries me.
Each candidate was prone to a little over-the-topness and inaccuracy.
because I have a âdo i start Joe Flacco?â issue #firstworldproblems
From Media Matters
In Three-Day Summit, White House Urges Nations To Join Fight Against Violent Extremism. The White House hosted a three-day summit this week aimed at combating violent extremism and âthe ideology of the Islamic State and other groups making increasingly sophisticated appeals to young people around the world,â as The New York Times reported. Obama âcalled on Americans and more than 60 nations ⌠to join the fight against violent extremismâ promoted by terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). Obama made clear, âWe are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.â
From the AtlanticâŚin which the author kindly reminds you that not all extremists are Muslim (or brown skin)
Hereâs a fun âdid you knowâ fact for whoeverâŚObama has used the terrorism word nearly fifteen hundred times. Now that article was written in '13, so please adjust those âslide rulersâ.
and now an important comment from a guy who doesnât have a Joe Flacco problem
âThey are not religious leaders; they are terrorists,â Obama said during remarks at a White House event on countering violent extremism. âWe are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.â
While I rather use the term âratbirdsâ, seeing how I want to make the playoffsâŚgo RavensâŚ
sigh
How silly and juvenile of TrumpâŚa different word will suddenly defeat terrorism.
Chuck Todd has got to be one of the stupidest on-air personalities out there. Seriously, though I cannot stand the man, I felt John McCain was far more serious than any of the current asshats. Hell, even Mitt Romney had more weight than these guys. GD, that is one fucking stupid observation, Mr. Todd.
Please note that Iâve never ever said anything negativeâif anything at allâabout Chuck Todd, ever. I just couldnât hold it in any longer. Negativityâor, in this case, the truthâwins out. Wow, I feel better!
