Well I guess that's why dems want our guns before they let these idiots here. It would lead to a slaughter for sure in time.

It would be a culture shock though to go from women completely covered to women completely uncovered everywhere. I mean check out the profits in porn for the free world, and then think about not having that or anything else for exposure to sex.

Tough break really!
 
Plus he won't formulate his policy decisions based on who has given him the most campaign contributions.


Yeah, that's another appeal. Jeb! got $100 million in super pacs.

Ross Perot did fairly well organizing his own campaign on low funding. Trump has me listening.

In 2012 both Obama and Romney raised over $2 billion in campaign financing. That's insane. Absolutely unAmerican. Sick of it. Wanna know why people are listening? Because they are sick of it.

Every self perceived "genius" who thinks they know shit will come out of the wood work and spin it when he wins. I think he will beat MLEXBW.
 
Like I said. Trumps's litmus test.

Can he be worse than Obama. I don;t think so. I may just give him a shot.

He is also the first Republican candidate that doesn't throw Jesus in your face.

The evangelicals ruined the Republican party.

Barry Goldwater said it himself (not that I support Barry Goldwater)

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
 
Shit- In American mood tonight. Love this country. Just stay 100% angry about it.

Few tidbits I learned from DC

-Lincoln is the only President that holds a patent.
-Lincoln's son Todd. Appears to be a curse of assassinations to other presidents. He was present in the company of James. A Garfield and William McKinley when they were both assassinated. Jackie Kennedy moved into home across the street where Todd Lincoln lived after JFK was killed. (Saw both houses)
-Todd Lincoln was suppose to go to Ford's Theatre on the night Lincoln was killed. But he had just witnessed Lee surrender to Grant and was too tired. So he stayed home and studied Spanish (the same house Jackie bought across the street)
 
I also love the Ben Franklin shit too. Man. Makes me wanna jump through a wall!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ben Franklin:
“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.”
 
But I will say. There was two of the most powerful pieces for me. The MLK Memorial. and the Holocaust Museum.

MLK is facing Jefferson Monument across the Tidal Basin. Yet, MLK's body is directly facing Jefferson's memorial (Pantheon), but hhis eyes don't face Jefferson.they are looking away. Showing that MLK won't acknowledge Jefferson

Is he looking towards the Capitol or towards the Lincoln memorial?

Neither.

Also created by a Chinese artist who insisted that the 30 ft MLK would be carved in his studio in China. Obama admin had to scrape off a portion of the memorial for MLK because Maya Angelou called out one of the quotes by MLK that the Chinese artist altered because he couldn't put MLK's full quote on there. Where Maya Angelou said that made MLK sounding arrogant. Because of that the Obama scraped off the quote.

MLK is staring away from Jefferson Memorial across the Tidal Basin even though his memorial directly center to Jeffersons

II'l say the biggest "wow" was the top off Arlington cemetery.

People may not know that George Washington's step kids's owned the property that would marry Robert E Lee. Lee would refuse the Union Leadership and end up sympathizing with the south . Crazy. General Megs who was great friends with Lee would have end mad as shit to Lee.
 
DC is an awesome tourist destination. I'm quite jealous, Willy. I need to go back to see it (haven't been there since before the WWII and MLK memorials went up)

Man, dunno what to say about it. Damn Jamo, the past leaves me speechless. I see the future of the past and I wonder where the brains went. Just shocked.

Actually, it's best tourist destination. Went in a tour inside the Pentagon too. Just changed my perception.
 
Pentagon- is awesome. Went into it. Apparently the bottom of the Pentagon is a football field long gym of weights (don't believe it- i bet they have aliens)

But I think his ego is so high, that this is his one chance to go down in American history as trying to do something memorable.

Plus, MF'ers took a chance on Obama. Does anyone really think Trump would be worse than Obama. That's the litmus test.

The bar is set so low right now that whoever wins will likely be hailed as a "savior" ala Reagan or Clinton; sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.
 
IMO, if Trump does nothing else but builds a formidable wall at the border, I would call his term a success.

Cruz is a complete fraud and now he wants to name a VP when he is not even mathematically able to win now?

Craziest damn election I can ever remember.

GOP needs to accept the fact that Trump has won this at the ballot box and go with it.
they have, or at least most always have. There never was a chance of a coup at the convention denying the nomination to whoever finished with the most votes & most won delegates & most won states. Just a fantasy of commentators & opinionators, their wishes never jived with the reality on the streets out in the rest of the country.

And given a long summer to think about it, those who say that on principle they would #NeverTrump will realize they wont sit on the sidelines and giftwrap the White House to Hillary. Begrudgingly the right will rally around Trump.

This will be the most intense summer I can ever recall for a general. The GOP convention, possibility Bernie runs as an Independent, the email scandal for Hilary, Trump going after Hilary, going to be a wild ride. I do agree after the wounds heal a bit, Republicans will come out and vote for Trump because the thought of another Democrat in the White House and having several SCOTUS picks on the line, I just can't imagine people not showing up to vote for Trump.
 
The problem for me, is that Trump is way too close to being a democrat in a lot of ways, for my liking. I would need some kind of assurances that he would surround himself with a good number of conservative people in his cabinet and staff to cause me to consider not staying home for the first time in my life during a presidential election. Right now, I just don't want my fingerprints on a Trump presidency.
 
Potentially great Trump bumper stickers from Paddock I just read (some editing):

"I can't stand Trump, but I hate Hillary even more" - Pygmy

"I like the bullshit he is talking" - Willy

"Can he be worse than Obama. I don't think so" - Willy

"(It's gonna be) like Al Bundy getting a chance to rule" - Willy

" (Will) he (be) a good President? I dunno But he is better than that bitch" - MrLair

just build it...or does it have to actually work?
 
Just for the sake of discussion: what would be some interesting choices for running mates should Trump and Clinton win respective party nominations ?

Trump- Condelizza Rice (to get the female vote) ;

Clinton- husband Bill ( they always billed themselves as two Clintons for the price of one).

Just for farts and giggles.
 
Trump - Jenna Jameson
Clinton - Barack Obama - would make a helluva reality show
Sanders - Jerry Seinfeld
Kasich - A bag of wet sand
Cruz - Charlie Manson

The Paddock would be a better place;

Nope (as in not nearly enough)
 
Trump needs someone to make him look more approachable to the public. He needs Kanye.

Hillary needs someone lovable who most of her voters could identify with. He needs Cheech.
 
Trump on Fox right now.

Hitting all the hot buttons; going after ISIS, trade agreements, immigration, only do things that advance America's interest, rebuild the military, rebuild the economy, believes what is good for America is good for the world, Allies are not paying their fair share for defense (only 4 of the 28 NATO countries are spending the required 2% on their military), etc.

Will be interesting to see the interpretations of this in the next few hours...
 
One thing that amazes me about Trump - he went against 16 career politicians, Governors, former-Governors, Senators, former Senators and even the establishment favorite (the brother of a former two-term president with huge political/donor ties) and systematically beat them all on a shoelace budget (compared to the big wheels) - no matter what side of the aisle you stand on, that's pretty damn impressive.

Crazy shit is, if Trump brings his economic success. He could (key word being "could") bring back America towards more jobs
 
If Trump's team is smart they'll trot out Bobby to the podium for a couple "ring" cracks during the appearances.

"I COACHED BASKETBALL FOR 50 YEARS AND I NEVER HEARD ONE FAGG.....<Trump operative whispers in his ear>...I NEVER HEARD ONE SISS....<Trump operative whispers in his ear>...I NEVER HEARD ONE GUY CALL A BASKETBALL HOOP A RING. WHAT A FAG."
