Just remember, he's not a racist:

This is the same man who is quoted in the 1991 book "Trumped!: The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump — His Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall," as saying:

"I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

- Charles Blow in today's NY Times

Of course, there were mass shootings during the Bush administration, but since they weren't committed by Muslims, they apparently don't matter as much.

High rates of gun death are just a fact of American life. Whereas being killed by someone with a political agenda is an attack on the American way of life.
Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

And yet, New York is a city of great erections !

     Now we have to worry about both a Trump victory and a Trump defeat.

     Which is worse, Repub extinction or Repub survival?

     If a new party is to be born it won't be an ideological replicant. Right wing evolution is tough, they hate it, they're founded on the proposition that the new is worse than the old, so they evolve kicking and screaming then say it didn't happen, we were never racists or slaveholders or monarchists or Christianists, we eternally believe the eternal principles we adopted last week in geologic time. Liberals don't always "make change their friend" either, so don't expect them to change more than they have to, just that "have to" for a liberal is necessarily open ended, even to the point of discomfort. Human nature being what it is, there's only so much hope/fear differentiation you can expect.

     George W. Bush was not a good president. As a former president, he's been exemplary

     Last week, Bush and Laura appeared with the Obamas at the ceremony in Dallas honoring the five police officers who had been killed. His remarks were eloquent.

     "Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions. And this has strained our bonds of understanding and common purpose. ... We have never been held together by blood or background. We are bound by things of the spirit, by shared commitments to common ideals. ... This is the bridge across our nation's deepest divisions. And it is not merely a matter of tolerance, but of learning from the struggles and stories of our fellow citizens and finding our better selves in the process."


     Bush still supports immigration reform and works to fight AIDS in Africa.

     Donald Trump's campaign is basically The Producers

     Of course! How did I not see it?

     See, I was thinking Trump might have been indulging in a different kind of performance art.....
