Some people on the interwebs seem upset by this. Wonder what it is? I guess a refiling of an old organization, financial stuff?
Another car crash of a debate.
I do like presenting Trump with power points to get him to explain how his imaginary budget cuts will work. Kinda weird since the GOP always uses ludicrous made up numbers like that.
The Twitter chatter while it was happening made it sound like more of the same. I missed the debate because I was working on alternate debate related activities preparing for the inevitable Trump/Pricklepants/Clinton debate:
I canāt bear to watch it after the week Iāve hadāas The Onion had it, the white hot seething ball of rage being beamed out to the Little People is not one I wish to share.

Now Trump is getting (sort of) support from the (sort of) Democrat side.
Jim Webb, the brief Democratic presidential candidate, former senator from Virginia, decorated combat veteran and Emmy-winning journalist, declared on TV this morning that he would not vote for Hillary Clinton, whoās making a very strong run for the Democratic nomination.
But he might vote for Trump, Webb said.
āI would not vote for Hillary Clinton,ā Webb said on MSBNC.
And Trump? āIām not sure yet,ā Webb said. āI donāt know who Iām going to vote for.ā
Webb went on to explain, āIf youāre voting for Hillary Clinton, youāre going to be getting the same thing,ā wheres if you vote for Trump, you might get something āvery good or very badā but who knows?
Of course, this is a man who bragged during a presidential debate about how he was proud of killing someone, soā¦
I guess heās new to the US political system. Perhaps one day heāll discover the option of not selecting a candidate, or even doing a write-in protest vote for, say, a pet hedgehog.
We finally have the explanation of the hostage stare:
Iām reaching out to the candidates now:
I donāt know, I think it definitely helped the current level of political discourse in this country to have Mr Trump tell us how beautiful his hands are, and that his penis is, indeed presidential material. I suppose I should be relieved that he didnāt choose to produce corroborating evidence or witnesses.
Itās said that Republicans started the impeachment process against Obama long before he was sworn into office. This will be business as usual from now on.
Chris Christie landed the killing blow against establishment candidate Marco Rubioās campaignā¦ and then dropped out. And then endorsed Trump. Thereās a good chance heāll be Trumpās running mate.
Which raises the entertaining possibility that if Trump wins, the Republicans impeach their own leader to put Christie in charge.
The solution: Use Sarah Palin as impeachment prevention. Sure, itās doubtful that Trump thinkās sheās anything more than a dingbat. But would Congress impeach Trump if it put Vice President Palin in command?
Looking like a good day for Cruz.
Honestly, I donāt know how to feel about the Republican primaries. Their voters seem hell-bent on picking one unacceptably awful candidate or another.
Perhaps this is evidence that Trump actually has a small caucus.
The modern GOP primary-voting base is a terrifying thing. I kind of think the people backing Cruz are scarier since theyāre flat-out theocrats.
The Dem. race is barely being covered, which is frustrating.
The dislike of Cruz by those around him in the GOP is no secret. Trump is the only thing between him, the nomination and control of the party.
It may be that mainstream Republicans arenāt so much pro-Trump as anti-Cruz, preferring a defeat in the election to Cruz taking control. Itās like a fox caught in a leg-hold trap, gnawing its own leg off to escape.
Okay, you guys, Ted Cruz is a very uptight religious homophobe who sings show tunesā¦
And then thereās this:
(Pictures the scene in Animal house with Cruz as the folk singer on the stairs, and Trump in John Belushiās roleā¦)
Itās not code. Itās unalloyed opportunism. Your worldview aside.
(See? I can be dismissive too.)
