vote for him. Just the idea that there are porn videos available of his first lady would worth watching far right heads explode.
Jane, I like your critique of the GOP mess. You have a wicked sense of humor. I am concerned that this outpouring of Trump mania is real and that hate, ignorance and fear will seize the day, and Trump will weasel his way into the White House. If that happens our country will be the laughing stock of the planet and the number one aggressor and target for war.

As for the Canadians, for the most part they are good people and a humane bunch. Well, except for Justin Bieber.

We do that on purpose. We export people like that instead of funding the military.

Thanks, Greyson.
I am here to calm your worries if I can. Sit down, have some soup.

One of the most regrettable aspects of this era in U.S. politics is the way cash-starved, super competitive 24/7 cable news channels pander to the super freaks who are running and voting in this election.
I recall the first season of The Jerry Springer Show, when I thought this shit could not be happening. I called a whole mess of friends because they shared my love for macabre, unashamed, filterless, trailer trash, batshit crazy people trying to outdo each other on national TV.
Many of his guests looked as if they had never used indoor plumbing, much less ridden on an airplane or stayed in a hotel (or motel).
For a free vacation to exotic Cleveland, including vouchers for McDonald's, I presume, some people would go on stage and screw their dog.
Which brings me to Donald Trump, who I am sure has screwed more than his share of dogs.
The more outrageous he gets, the more that red ratings needle throbs and lurches to the right.
Does he believe all the extremist, frightening Nazi Fascist shit he spews? I think he might or might not. His mercurial nature is apt to do a 180 on any given day or hour. He seems to come alive when he sees cameras, like all egomaniacs and sociopaths. He has an almost psychic sense of knowing when his words have reached a hair's width away from the apex of inappropriate. He knows his FCC limits.

His unprecedented public fight with Fox "news" hostess Megan Kelly was as phony as his wife's prim 'first lady' act. Ratings gold that he'd say Kelly was probably on her period, and she'd pretend to be flabbergasted.
He said he heard a lady in one audience call Ted Cruz a pussy. He prompted her to say it again, louder. Then he acted coy as he kept the pussy thread going, even after he said it and his standing ovation morons sat down. Ooooh-- he said 'pussy' and he's a potential president. The TV audience tolerates it, the ad revenues hit the ceiling, and best of all the GOP debates have all but centered on the candidates tattling on one another like little junior high bitches. We don't know what any of these slimy sons of bitches plan to do as president, but we do know: Rubio sweats like a pig and wears little elevator booties with a kitten heel, Trump applies makeup to stop his upper lip from forming a sweat mustache, Chris Christie can easily bully little Marco by mentioning his --what? Is it a learning disorder when you repeat the same five lines in rapid succession?
As for the failures like Carson and Bush-- the judges hit the gong. Leave the race or we'll call in the ejector chimp.
So much for the GOP's staged debates.
But--what's this?
When Bernie and Hillary noticed all the play the GOP antics were getting the night of the debates and on social media the following day, damned if they didn't ramp it up themselves.
Well, at least one of them did. The other one reacted to her opponent's slanderous accusations like she was Cruella DeVille. You could see her take a deep breath, stand up straighter, clench her jaw, and the thought bubble over her head formed: "When I get elected, I am going to eviscerate this fucking old hootenanny goat..." "I hope he likes the kilo of coke and the kiddy porn discovered in his luggage at the Phoenix airport, that doped out old hippy pinko."

Solution:
License all debates or other prime time televised coverage rights to C-Span only, and either let them do pledge drives during breaks or charge the cable subscribers a small flat fee. No ratings, no (overt)theatrics and a moderator who is a professional debate judge from Yale or Harvard... one who tolerates no bullshit. No Vaudeville, Bernier.

Next:
Enact New Law:
Neither side of the aisle may attempt to overturn an existing law more than once per session. Obamacare got more than 50 stabs--we pay these fuckers to work for us, not pick and choose what laws they dislike and piss away an entire session ignoring their constituency needs. Why the fuck was that allowed? Whomever should have been in charge of legislative misconduct had to be one of the goons involved. Fuck that.

Laws should be carved in stone, not written on an Etch a Sketch. If you are a Congress Rep who wants to change a law, you have to lick it off the stone until it's illegible.

New bi-law: Legislators who overtly or continually break the rules get demerits. Three demerits earns a three week censure. Six demerits earn a $75 severance pay check, loss of all accrued benefits and a shove down the stairs of Congress, performed by that chimp who ripped that lady's face off.

I can actually see Hillary ramming these new laws through Congress quite quickly, because every GOP and Democrat in the chamber will be river dancing not to piss her off and become her first public victim.

Bernie? Not so much. Too many details.


New bi-law, enforced once every two years. Legislators get an online report card grade from constituents. An F from too many constituents = get the F outta here.

If someone doesn't force the GOP to stop acting like drunken toddlers, we will waste another four year term wearing down our jaw muscles and molars from clenching.

Feeling better, Grayson?

Oh, Collette, what a sweet thing to say. Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't drink beer, which I think is against Canadian law, and mostly I'm not familiar with the concept of winter weather that can kill you if you get stuck somewhere when an ice or snow storm hits.
Snow is nice the first day you see it, then on day 2 it's kind of like being on a movie date with a woman whose halitosis keeps getting stronger.
By day 3 it's time to book a flight outta wherever it is, because excessive cold changes a person, I truly believe.
A woman who can get to work on a day that's -15F below and having what they call "a wintry mix" pelting her car, or her as she walks, has to develop skills and tenacity that are too hard to acquire after age 12.
If I were to move to Canada to marry you, I would never leave the house from early Oct, until late April. You'd have to go out and get whatever provisions we'd need, and from what I gather from your self deprecating posts, you are at least 85 years old. I'd feel guilty sending you out for some trivial item I needed. You could break a hip, then we'd have to hire a baby butch to do all the work.
Also, no offense, but curling is the most boring human activity ever known, and poutine has to have been invented by some highly intoxicated oaf who was stranded in his desolate cabin with only french fries, cheese curd and an old bottle of BBQ sauce in his fridge (along with the requisite 4 cases of beer).
Please forgive me, dear Collette, ey?

Default Who Is Voting For Trump

“It’s a nonurban, blue-collar and now apparently quite angry population,” said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. “They’re not people who have moved around a lot, and things have been changing away from them, but they live in areas that feel stagnant in a lot of ways.”
