Republican leaders' support for Trump unwavering despite his boasts of groping women

[nungesser]

On a practical note, it’s looking extremely likely that Pence will quit. I wonder who’d step in as VP? Christie? Newt??

[Built2Spill]

No. This is the digital equivalent of childish name-calling. And it is visually disgusting. I don’t like this asshole either, but please stop putting me off my food. Same for you, boingboing, please stop this. Duder is ugly enough unaltered.

Schwarzenegger’s statement sort of got to me, to tell the truth. I had a moment of wanting to go out and hug an eagle.

Not about foreign leaders, or the major city a significant international conflict has been occurring in, or…

I think the Libertarian party would be much more viable if they moved more centrist in their economic thinking but maintained a strong support of civil liberties.

That’s just an improved Democratic Party. I am more prone to believing that the Ds can be improved, than for a whole new party to take its place any time soon.

Trump!
Trump for my love!

Trump in!
He’s got two arms to…

Mutualism?

Mutualism (economic theory)

I doubt the Libertarian Party would touch it though, as it’s universally considered to be among the left wing libertarian philosophies.

I suggest you look up some political cartoons from the 18th or 19th century. Trump gets off lightly.

(it occurred to me last night that this this is now a multi-layered unintentional political joke…)

“Things were even worse in the 18th century” isn’t much of a defense of anything, though.

I think big-L libertarians see the two as inseparable, drawing on the views of Ayn Rand.

He was saying “Boingboing please stop this.” I was just demonstrating that the probability of this happening, given the antiquity of political caricature, is close to zero.

It’s okay, I give the best apologies

How is this the line they cannot cross?!

Not torture, not murdering the innocent, not utter contempt for the military

You can theoretically win an election without any support from Muslims or non-white people. You can’t win without any support from women.

Or their husbands, their fathers, their brothers, their sons…you know, all the male personages who belong to women in some way.

Well of course they don’t understand the concept of stepping down honorably after serving the maximum term for the job.

But meanwhile…they all bleached and styled their hair to look like the Donald sweep?

Don’t hate him because he’s beautiful.

@TheGreatParis

Don’t hate him because he’s beautiful.

Not when there are so many other reasons available…

[Gyrofrog]

That was a thing:

I’m sorry

[SpunkyTWS]

The interesting thing about those SNL clips is they show a Trump who has a sense of humor, who’s even willing to be the butt of a joke and poke fun at his own image.

I guess it’s easy to be self-deprecating and even charming as long as everyone’s sucking up to you.
