Heard trump had a go at some woman, thats about it.


Having a go at a fairly well known Spanish language TV star this close to the election is incredibly stupid. Particularly given the recent spike in voter registration searches from Spanish language areas.

I mean, maybe it's just me, but Donald Trump being shitty to women is sort of old hat now.

It did sort of perk up my ears though when he insisted that any time a newscaster uses the term "sources said", there are no source and it's all lies. That's a rather significant accusation. You could actually sue a newscaster for lying and saying 'sources said' when there are no sources. Where are the lawsuits, Donald?

Put your lawyers where your mouth is.

Bill balancing that on top of his hair looked absurd. At least Obama's hair is short enough he can sort of pull off wearing it.

Weak endorsement. They think Clinton's plans are impossible but endorse Johnson? Like his policies are achievable. He hasn't even released a tax plan.

Yes, there is a difference.

Major difference is that the New York dialect is non-rhotic, i.e. the r's are not pronounced at the end of syllables after vowels. This is a useful shibboleth.

Then New Yorkers sound a bit like people in New England vs. the New Joisey types. I should've known that. You taught me a new word, and hyphenated at that. Thanks. :)

I sincerely don't understand what the deal with Alicia Machado is when it comes to Trump.

I mean, why not admit it was a gaffe and move on?

Jesus, it almost looks like the man is incapable of realizing the consequences of his actions.

Hasn't Twitter addiction been cited as an actual phenomenon? Maybe that's what he's really been snorting.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

His health is important, and his doctor's statement was so bizarre I still think Trump wrote it himself (there's no way he'd ever be "the healthiest person ever to be president"). He's not Taft levels of fat, but he is overweight. But despite all that, I'm less concerned about his weight and more concerned about his ability to pass a drug test.

42 year old President Theodore Roosevelt would theoretically run circles around Donald Trump. Much more than Donald's weight issues, I find myself most concerned about what a psychiatric examination would find (which may include various illicit drug habits over the years).
