Past name or not, Trump is his current surname, so intentionally misspelling it as Drumpf already carries a degree of mocking intent.

Especially considering John Oliver went through great lengths establishing it as a name of mockery.

Though honestly I feel the political nicknaming rule is a tad silly.

In nyc the pa just opened a new transfer walkway at the world Trade Center the pa spent 4 billion dollars on it. The collarsal amount of waste of money pisses the hell out of me. If someone pocketed a billion dollars of it, you would at least understand where the money went., but if the money was really spent on the project. The folks who approved it should be fired and jailed for wastijng the taxpayers money

Oh, they had a report on that a couple days ago on channel seven. I agree, it seems totally unnecessary, like a sort of modernised grand central but without the shops or booths or seats or anything that makes it worthwhile. Better ways to second money than on stuff like that.


We could have built 2nd Avenue phase 2 with that money.

And it's going to cost so much money to maintain this place even though it has so little to offer.

I bet she'd go for Twilight Sparkle. Ben Carson is Derpy Hooves or Pinkie Pie, hands down. Rubio, to me, is Spike the baby dragon. Trump is Rarity, but he could also be Rainbow Dash. :lol2:

Who are all these characters? What happenEd to rainbow dash? I feel like everything about MLP has changed size i was a little kid, and considering MLP has been around since the '80s that isn't even that long ago.

I bet every single one of my old MLP ponies (which, btw looked like this, not this), that there was no twilight sparkle in my day. I never saw any twilight sparkle and I had a lot of them.
