Sometimes giving up and surrendering is the right thing to do. Like when you realize you’re fucking wrong.

I see this story was reported by the New York Times, I was really hoping it would get syndicated through the A&P.

Okay, first Ill access the secret military spy satellite thats in a geosynchronous orbit over the midwest.
Then, Ill ID the limo by the vanity plate Mr. Trump to get his approximate position. Then, Ill reposition the transmitter in the remote truck to 17.3twoo degrees east, hit Westdart 4 over the Atlantic, bounce the signal down into the Azores, up to Comsat 6, beam it baaack to Satcom through transmitter 137, and down into the dish in the back of Mr. Trump`s limo!
It`s almost too easy.

I can engage in online satire, attend rallies, have substantive debates with Trump supporters, and donate to the Bern all in the same day.
And I haven’t had a French fry in like six months, kale is okay (great fiber, keeps me regular), and I will continue making banana jokes because they take the cognitive capacity of a banana to make.
Good day sir.
…
I said good day!

I think the chances of Trump winning the White House are pretty slim, but we get all freaked out over it because we can imagine what it will be like, and sure, it’s a scary image.
But the one overwhelming plus of Trump is that, win or lose, he is destroying the Republican party. The convention is going to be a melee, and even if he wins the election his policies either won’t get passed by congress, or will prove to be so short-sighted and bad that it will usher in a far-left President four years later.

Say what? Obama has made plenty of gaffes. EVERYONE who speaks publicly a lot does. He also is infamous for lots of uhs and ers when he is required to speak more off the cuff.
They are entertaining, but completely understandable. Mixing words up or getting a small detail wrong is extremely common.
However, THIS was completely inexcusable and should have been grounds for impeachment.
“Even though most people agree… I’m presenting a fair deal, the fact
that they don’t take it means that I should somehow do a Jedi mind-meld
with these folks and convince them to do what’s right.”

As an outsider I just watch. Trump isn’t that terrifying, but America is. If he somehow wins it will be because Americans voted for him. I’m not sure what to do to stop that. There’s not going to be a big cultural shift before the fall, so other than trying to help Sanders beat Clinton (Trump has a much better chance against Clinton) I don’t have any ideas. I guess one could try to help Cruz beat Trump but… I’m not convinced that’s a good idea.

Is this supposed to be a stereotype for disinterested people? Potatoes cooked in fat seem to have very little to do with the rise of Trump. Heart disease, maybe. Trump, no. Also you picked the one food that is most easily consumed when paying attention to something else. No one is so engrossed in the act of consuming french fries that they lose sight of all earthly goals in pursuit of heavenly potatoey goodness. It’s a fucking starch stick, not cocaine.
Also, what do you want me to do? Convince his supporters that he’s a joke? Using what? Logic? Not going to work. Open up my own media outlet that only focuses on substantive issues? I’m not made of money. Vote against him in a primary where it would be illegal for me to do so? Throw a protest and attract more attention to the bastard?
So what, pray tell, is something that can actually be done at this intermediate stage with the primary selection process not even complete?

I have to be honest: I’m far more worried about the spectre of Cruz winning the election than Trump. I have zero love for Trump, and he’s obviously a racist xenophobe, but his character became chaotic evil after running his last game as chaotic good (pushes nerd glasses up), so nobody knows what he’d do, and yes, that’s super scary. Cruz, however, has a solid, black-and-white goal to fuck up America in horrible ways. He’s terrifying. [ps. I ate a french fry while saying this and it was good.]

And if we don’t laugh at it, well that way lies the lovely men in the white coats and padded cells.

This is pretty much my thinking exactly. Trump, well, you don’t know what you’ll get. For all we know by the time he’s in power he’ll be for immigration amnesty and will have brought tens of millions of angry racist voters to that position (not really). Cruz, I think we know what we’re getting.
And I’m getting fries for lunch.
