I was thinking who the fuck would bet against trump lying.

Like, in general, the truth is somehow slipperier than a greased pig to him.

Is there a site where I can place bets that Trump will make a bunch of childish insults on Twitter? I’m trying to get together enough money to put a down payment on a home.

I’m a bit surprised they took bets on that. Couldn’t he have “thrown the game” by telling the truth?
I’m just kidding, that’s not something he could do.

Am I the only one who noticed that El Cheato did not end his speech with the de rigueur: “And God bless America” ?

Makes no never mind to me but I thought perhaps some of the more fervently shrill religious elements in the country might have picked up on that. Hmmm.

Naah. But if Obama had omitted that statement it would have been proof-positive that he was installing a caliphate in the US.

The really bold gamble is betting that Trump would tell the truth in a way that doesn’t distort reality.
