God Bless Joe Biden, and his loving, devoted family.

He is a true role model.

I swear, trump attracts lawsuits the way stray dogs attract fleas.

The pathetic Peggy Noonan's quote is the one I like best.

"He is soft, weak, whimpering, and petulant. He isn’t smart enough to do the job and isn’t man enough to own up to the fact."

You can actually stop at the word "petulant." He's a large-size piss-ant, whiny-ass and juvenile. I keep wondering if he's five years old, or eight years old, or three years old.

I have very little respect for the equally simpering, sighing, ready-to-collapse-onto-her-fainting-couch Peggy Noonan, who worshipped Ronald Reagan so shamelessly that I later took to referring to her as "Reagan's Monica." I don't think the whole "presidential kneepads" thing fit - literally, at least - although figuratively, I felt you could almost see hints of them peeking out from below the hemlines of her skirts.

Shit - I keep being reminded of an appearance she made on "Hardball," and Chris Matthews was starting to bear down on her about the failings of her republi-CON heroes (I think it was bush/cheney), and her response was classic. Classic drama queen. She signed deeply. Tilted her head to one side with this melodramatic facial expression of abject pain and pathos, and in a great, gushing display of agony tried to stop him with "CHRIStopher... CHRIStopher... " What's next, Peg? Tearing your garment and passing out, clutching your pearls in full-on drama school desperation before you prostrate yourself down across the railroad tracks waiting for some Reagan figure to rescue you and scoop you up in his manly arms and carry you away to that dream castle in the clouds? Have you lost ALL self-respect, girlfriend?

SHAMELESS. DISGRACEFUL! Spectacularly EMBARRASSING! Yet sometimes she still turns a phrase rather well. Useful idiots are available EVERYWHERE.

Only thing left off was some "Made in China" clothing label.

Or on the medals, or the cap, maybe.

Their coverage has been unsurpassed for years.

During bush/cheney, about the only place you could find NON-fawning coverage, especially about the Iraq War and the run-up to that reckless fuck-up, was in The Guardian. For way too long, that was the only source for reality and truth, and not Pox-Noise-style spin. It was almost as though they alone retained some immunity from kkkarl rove influence.

I bet that's exactly what happened.

Donald only cares about how much money he can acquire.

May I quote you from this rhapsody of fine and exquisitely-deserved verbal molotovs?

&quot Have I mentioned that you should VOTE IN THE GODDAMN MIDTERMS, by the way?)"

Another FINE one, TheFerret!

Welcome to DU, yonder!

It's a terrible choice to think of making. trump? Or Pence? COLOSSAL ICK, either way. Either way we lose, and 2020 can't come soon enough. But with trump, this gnawing nag of "...he's gonna get us all killed..." keeps prowling through my head. I dread a Pence presidency because he's such a religious fanatic. While I fear the onset of Christian Sharia Law under his tenure, one thought I actually tend not to have is "...he's gonna get us all killed..."

Small comfort, though.

VERY small.

Most interesting point.

It makes sense. I don't think he'll be successful either, but I would expect someone in the military to have discipline and order and chain-of-command DOWN. Especially someone who's risen to the rank of general. You're very good at hierarchy by that point. Wonder who will give him the biggest problems? "The Mooch"? Jared? Bannon? Ivanka? The people who work with/for a general have to submit to rank and be willing to take orders. I don't see how either one of those three fully complies. ANYONE who claims or insists that he or she has standing open access to the Oval Office is probably loathe to give that up. How it looks to the rest of "the help", dontchaknow.

THIS.

WAY more important than you and your golf course, Donald.
