«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 578 Newer› Newest»Cruz has imaginary values. I'll take Trump's realist New York Values any day over a pretense wrapped in a religious deception.
PBandJ_LeDouanier: "If the Ds truly cared about the downtrodden and unfortunate..."
The D's are too busy creating urban widespread murder zones.
It's O.K. to be nasty to Chuckie.
More white people for Titus to mock!
Let's mock Titus and his sisters too!
As a lifelong Republican, there is nothing Trump or any other Republican can do to make Chuck pull the lever for any Republican anywhere, ever.
Moby.
Not enough "Brown Hogs"
What's all this I'm hearing about "my pants"? Why is everyone talking about my pants? I don't think my pants should be anyone's business. My pants are my business and my business alo......what's that?
Never mind.
As a "lifelong Republican", there is nothing Trump or any other Republican can do to make Chuck pull the lever for any Republican anywhere, ever.
FTFY
Now that, my friends, is a blue tie.
Anonymous must have lost her Talking Points.
"Jesus that band reaffirms every awkward republican stereotype."
G. E. Smith has forgotten more amazing things than you could ever imagine, dream, or even appreciate.
You are not human, only a bot.
You fail, see Mr. Turing for upgrades you soulless grief-monger.
Ha. You'll have to be a little quicker than that to get one over on me.
Ha
Jon Ericson: "Anonymous must have lost her Talking Points."
No, just getting treated for an American flag burning mishap.
Agree on G.E. Smith.
Jon Ericson:
Talking Points Memo to the rescue?
She's all lost in the tabs.
I wonder who bill Clinton is hanging with this evening.
I am forced to pray that it is not someone Jeffrey Epstein provided.
(in the supermarket)
Say it ain't so Chuck.
Gov Pence is giving the best speech of the night by far. I really like him.
Pence is doing well.
@Chuck: "I'd like to be able to vote for Trump with a clear conscience . . . Trump needs to win our votes." As you probably know, I feel your pain. But while I prefer to vote with a pristine conscience, I will do what's best for the country even if it hurts a bit. And as wildswan says, "Wouldn't you say that Trump is trying to win your support?" I think he is making a bid for mine. Sloppily, yes, but still.
They still sell Tab, Jon Ericson?
They give 'em away at the top of your browser!
Pence isn't bad at all. He is a professional politician and has had plenty of practice at this of course.
The most interesting (to me) speaker coming up, tomorrow I think, is Peter Thiel.
I have a suspicion that he make make some sort of comment or announcement, beyond the obvious.
Anonymous's Rule is:
If you can't think of something ugly to say then don't say anything at all.
PS If you run cold water over burns for a long time then you don't FEEL THE BERN anymore.

Buwaya is correct. Thiel is by far the most intriguing speaker. One can't help but think he is destined for the Brendan Eich treatment.
PBS - Judy Woodruff(D) and Gwen Iffil(D) tinkled their prog-pants after Pence pointed out how the media will be helping Hillary. Then unsuccessfully tried to interrupt. Hacks.
"They give 'em away at the top of your browser!"
Only libs who look for handouts think tabs are free.
Pence has good honest eyes.
I wonder if obambi will have more BLM thugs over to the White House.
Perhaps BLM hasn't bagged their quota of cops yet to get another invite.
Cruz haters should go F themselves.
The Nasty Cruz's FU directed at the Party for nominating Trump went over like a lead balloon.
Somehow that's supposed to be based on a Myth of a Better Than You Principle guarded by Prophet Cruz's connection with being cult of defeated losers in The Glorious Lost Cause.
PB&J: "Only libs who look for handouts think tabs are free"
If you go retro with Tab, do they make the cans with tabs?
If so, should you create a tab for the tabbed can Tabs?
@chuck: if you can't stomach Trump, consider voting for Pence.
April how can you stand to watch it on PBS?
There is an RNC YouTube live-stream that doesn't have any interruptions.
"One can't help but think he is destined for the Brendan Eich treatment."
He is immune to that. He is as rich as Trump, or maybe more so. It seems that it takes either complete poverty or a billion or so to make a free man these days.
Somebody had to do the dirty work.
buwaya: "He is immune to that. He is as rich as Trump, or maybe more so. It seems that it takes either complete poverty or a billion or so to make a free man these days."
I was thinking more along the lines of social ostracism and personal attacks via multiple mediums.
Anti-Trump Republican delegate Ken Cuccinelli told Reuters he escorted Cruz's wife Heidi off the convention floor in Cleveland out of concern for her safety.
"During the course of the speech more and more people were coming down closer and closer to Heidi and (Ted Cruz's father) Rafael. ... When the speech ended, there was an ugly crowd behind us. ... She was trying to leave," Cuccinelli said
Such non violent people those Trumpkins.
Cruz should have stayed home. Better not to say anything than come across as a royal prick on national TV.
I keep hearing conservatives and Republicans saying that Trump needs to win their support.
What ever happened to the voters who were tired of politicians who pandered to the public and wanted people to just be themselves?
Now they want Trump to pander to them?
Unlike the flaming protestors outside.
"The Nasty Cruz's FU directed at the Party for nominating Trump went over like a lead balloon."
I disagree. I'd guess that Cruz's words will dominate this night and at least the next 24 hours of media coverage.
Cruz succeeded if F-ing Trump. As Trump surely realizes.
Found the TPM tab eh?
You wish.
It's good to keep an eye and an ear to what the corrupt-o-progs in the media are up to.
Mike Pence certainly has that "right out of central casting" Senator/Governor look.
Yup. April.
How delicate and unsure of yourself do you have to be to think that Cruz F*ed Trump?
"Now they want Trump to pander to them?"
At least pandering to them would make some sort of logical sense. Scaring them about international terrorists when HRC is more hawkish than Trump, is what is senseless.
Not to mention that this sort of scaring is better when we're talking about Soviet nukes rather than dudes (and gals) who exercise their constitutional rights.

Eh? try again in normal English.
Cruz haters - F off. Really - you sound like pathetic losers. Your guy won. Be happy.
Good speech by Pence, but too long.

Hillary is very hawkish on filmmakers.
And which international terrorists are those? Certainly not --redacted-- jihadists.
Plagiarism-Gate! LOL!

I don't think Anonymous is even going to get paid tonight.
Hillary has the courage to not call out our enemies by name.
Just like George Washington and Churchill!
It was the video!
Cruz's FU to Trump was sweet revenge for Trump insulting his wife and his father. Who can blame him? Trump played dirty and Cruz was patiently waiting for the right moment to stick the shiv in his ribs.
OOOh Democrat politics, from an insider.

And there you have the latest talking point.
And yes, that's really all they have.
I'm very impressed with Pence! Didn't know he was such a great speaker. And I had said, 'Meh' after his selection.
I heard that, maddened with pain from burns, Unknown started shouting "Hillary is a liar." But fellow lefties quickly dragged our fellow commenter off for behavior adjustments. The next Unknown will be a new Unknown. Similar, yes, but with slight touches indicating that real Unknown is still being adjusted somewhere. Staring at a large picture of Hillary and defiantly shouting - "Liar, yes, I say LIAR." Brave Unknown.
Pence was good. Not as boring as I feared. Has a self deprecating air about him which is always good. Pundits are saying Cruz is done.
How does Cruz look on November 9th if Trump comes up short? He didn't compromise, and either Hillary wins and he is queued up for 2020, or Trump wins and either gets two terms or hands it off to Pence after one.

No one made him attend the convention. When you are pathologically certain that you are the smartest person in the room it will always be difficult to make friends. His parents must have been sick of reading on his report card, 'Ted is very studious but does not play well with others.'

That's funny, right there.

Trump did well picking Pence.
Well, Anonymous, we are still waiting for another laff!
You cons do realize that pinning your hopes on something four Americans being killed because Muslim terrorists were angered by an anti-Muslim video instead of saying the Americans died because Muslim terrorists were angered by virtue of being Muslim terrorists seems like grasping at straws. Right?
If anything the, video explanation for the terrorists seems like the stronger way of being scary about the evilness of lunatic radical Muslims. That's supposed to be a good thing for Rs. The more strongly you can point out the nutty evilness or these Muslims, the better, from the R POV.
ARM: "When you are pathologically certain that you are the smartest person in the room it will always be difficult to make friends."
Obama has no friends?
I thought Cruz did a nice job. Trumpers were pissed at the end because he didn't say Trump's name. So what.? After all the abuse Trump heaped on Cruz, I don't blame him.
Trump supporters need to grow the F up.
I voted for Rubio, was not happy when Trump clinched, but he is my horse and I am going to ride him in November. Compared to Hillary, Trump is Ronald Reagan.
Thanks for your Biting and incisive take on the convention. LOL.
Bernie endorsed Hillary, too bad Cruz couldn't kiss Trump's ass as good as Scott Walker did and give Trump his endorsement. Lyin' Cruz decided to do the honorable thing tonight and told the people to "vote their conscience". It was amazing.
Pundits are saying Cruz is done.

It was the video! - was a lie. PBJ. I know - you like lies. Lies are cool.
It wasn't the video. An innocent person placed in jail for a lie. The video was the manufactured scapegoat used by the democrats and their corrupt hack press to cover for the ineptitude of the Obama administration.
Mayor in Baton Rouge said he spoke to ValJar.
"If anything the, video explanation for the terrorists seems like the stronger way of being scary about the evilness of lunatic radical Muslims. "
But that was a lie. And a man was hauled out of him home and imprisoned for a year because of a lie. Just to save Hillary's ass.

Again, I don't think you have internalized what the left is all about.
The fact that Hillary lied, and everyone knew she was lying, and they arrested a filmmaker to cover for Hillary/Obama is precisely the sort of thing that the left LOVES about these leaders.
Think of early morning SWAT raids on republican donor homes in WI.
That is the left.
Remember, the most beautiful sound in the world in the muslim call to prayer.
Particularly in Orlando, Paris, Nice, Istanbul, etc.
The fact that there were three shooters in BR is not supposed to be out there either.
April,
It's actually easier to point out the depravity of radical Islamic terrorists if it was the video. That's way more insane than normal radical Islamic terrorists. Think about it, someone far away makes a video about Mohamed, and some totally scary, unpredictable Muslim uses this as a reason to kill Americans many thousands of miles away (literally and figuratively) from the video.
That's scary! That's a reason to ban all Muslims--they see a video and they become homicidal!!
It's trickier to scare folks w/o a Soviet Union w/ tons of nukes. Short of that, this video thing is as good as it'll get.
"Why does anyone engage Chuck?"
I suppose I was thinking and hoping that this convention will heal some wounds and Chuck spoke and - out came my thoughts. Usually I pay more attention to my surroundings.
You need better drugs, Peanut butter and jelly.
Cruz is done.
PBandJ_LeDouanier: "April, It's actually easier to point out the depravity of radical Islamic terrorists if it was the video."
But it wasn't the video.
They islamist jihadists don't need a reason beyond your very existence to attack and kill you.
Your inability to grasp that makes you the perfect democrat.
Now go out and find some nice old Christian lady who runs a small florist shop or pizza joint and run them out of business like all courageous lefties.
I get the impression Cruz doesn't do the guy thing well. Some guys just don't understand it, and no matter how successful they may be, they spend their lives as perpetual outsiders among their male peers. It's not machismo, it's a surprisingly subtle code that's utterly opaque to those who don't understand it. W., Bill Clinton, and Trump get it. Gore, Cruz, and Obama do not. Not saying that's good or bad but it definitely speaks to how someone navigates the ups and downs of competition. Not a judgement, just an observation.
"It's actually easier to point out the depravity of radical Islamic terrorists if it was the video."
What part of it was a LIE that put a man in jail do you not understand? Do you not get why that bothers people? If so, you're a sociopath.
I swear, the next time a leftist brings up Watergate, I'll have to restrain the urge to spit.

Prediction: every BLM-inspired shooting (God forbid there be more) will always be by lone wolf types -- even if they are not.

How about the Governor too?
So Cruz wants Hillary to win now so he can run again in 2020? Come to think of it Christie acted in the same way in 2012, like a petulant child. Cruz needs to grow up and be an adult.
Drago,
I get that. And, I agree that they don't need any reason beyond their reading of Islamic texts.
Even so, it's not like it's giving Muslims a pass by saying that their religion is such that a video turns them into murderers of innocents.
And, for the record, it is true that there were a ton of Muslims all over the world that did go nuts because of that video. That's precisely what's scary about Islam. A few folks w/ anti-occupation motivations is manageable. But, a religion that can turn devout folks into murderers when they see a video--that's when you start banning folks from such a religion.

Trump's family will put him over the top. Hard to say he is a nutcase given his kids turned out so well. On the other hand, Hillary has Bill and Chelsea. Nothing wrong with Chelsea, but she is outnumbered four to one, and that excludes Baron.
We may have Presidents named Trump for decades to come.
"It's a continuation of an absolute lie that is only offered up in service to the Hillary campaign."
If you're saying that it's a lie that Islam is a religion that can use a video about Mohamed to justify murder, I think the evidence says otherwise. There are some Muslims who do believe that mocking Mohamed justifies murder.
Chelsea... mmmm

Trump-pundits (Tucker Carlson, for example) are saying that. I'd sort of expect that.
All others are saying that Cruz is still mad, from when Donald Trump made the insanely disgusting claim that Cruz's father was a confidante of Lee Harvey Oswald. And Cruz is setting himself apart, looking to 2020. And other pundits are saying that whether you like or dislike Trump, and whether you like or dislike Cruz, this convention is turning into a weirder and weirder clusterfuck. Which goes directly to the fact that there isn't much of a Trump campaign in charge of this convention. It's like a 50,000 person frat party in the last couple of hours before the cops show up.

Stop being obtuse.
You are flailing about in every way imaginable to change the subject from Hillary's pathetic, self-serving and repeated lie about a video causing the riots in Benghazi.
" W., Bill Clinton, and Trump get it. Gore, Cruz, and Obama do not. "
I'm a woman but that strikes a chord with me, perhaps because I have one brother, who was a high school and college jock (not an obnoxious or mean one but certainly possessing a certain jock cockiness) who gets the "guy thing" and another brother, more of a loner and intellectual, who does not. I am on the outside looking in but I long ago noticed the easy camaraderie my athletic brother has with other guys, which always seems painfully fake when my other brother tries to force himself to do it. They are both successful in very different fields, but my loner brother had a tough time until middle age, when he finally accepted what he was and stopped trying to play a role.
I voted for Cruz in the primary, but I think the job which would really suit him would be Attorney General.
An excellent read:

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has made press-bashing a regular feature of his campaign rallies, but Laura Ingraham's clobbering was the week's first sign of conservatives' open warfare' against media bias."

"All others are saying that Cruz is still mad, from when Donald Trump made the insanely disgusting claim that Cruz's father was a confidante of Lee Harvey Oswald."

Newt told the Rs that Cruz was actually telling them to vote for Cruz. Are you saying that was BS spin? Shocking!
Please speak engrish.
Any video of Heidi Cruz actually being threatened on the convention floor? Sounds like a Michelle Fields type smear.
"You are flailing about in every way imaginable to change the subject from Hillary's pathetic, self-serving and repeated lie about a video causing the riots in Benghazi."
I haven't flailed at all. In fact I've zeroed in on what it means if it was a video that turned Muslims into murderers. This is the most damming, anti-radical Muslim terrorist explanation for Benghazi. Cons are giving the radical Muslim terrorists a pass by not acknowledging Islam is so evil that it can use a video to justify murder.
Saying Benghazi was the result of folks rebelling against an American takeover is giving radical Muslim terrorists a pass. If you can't name it, you can't defeat it. Or, so I've heard.
If anyone doesn't remember, Michelle Fields lied about being assaulted by a Trump staffer.

We are more concerned with the context of that election and Obama wanting (needing) to look as blameless as possible. What better way to appear blameless than to blame someone else? And Romney fell for it! Remember, Obama's campaign meme at the time was that terrorists were routed; ISIS was a JV team. The world and our diplomats were safe under Obama.
PB&J: "I haven't flailed at all. In fact I've zeroed in on what it means if it was a video that turned Muslims into murderers."

"Cons are much more honest about the threat of Muslims than Libs. And we are repeatedly called racist by the Libs for that."
If you really wanted to make them seem scary you'd say that a video could cause a devout Muslim to turn into a murderer.
Does your understanding of Islam say that Muslims can murder folks who mock Mohamed?

Of course many Muslims believe that, I would presume more than a majority do so (worldwide). do the Mohamed cartoons ring a bell?

So, all the cons here do not deny that claiming a video (or cartoon) can turn devout Muslims into murderers is more hawkish than saying Libyans rebelled against an American takeover.
I.e., HRC lies to make radical Muslim terrorists seem as bad as possible.
"I voted for Cruz in the primary, but I think the job which would really suit him would be Attorney General."
And it probably would have been his (in the unlikely event of Trump defeating Free Stuff) but his ego would not allow him to seperate the no-holds barred competition of the primary from everything else. Trump would have showered him with olive branches but Cruz chose, essentially, to run to HR and complain that his co-workers were being mean to him. Even Rubio probably recognizes that that was a bitch move.

Drago,
It wouldn't be a bad thing if you, and other cons, took half a second to consider the implications of HRC's video explanation vs the rebelling Libyans explanation. HRC's lie is much more damming of radical Muslim terrorists.

chickelit: "PB&Jelly is using Ritmosian logic on us!"
Au contraire.
PB&J is not in the same league as ritmo.
Everyone already treats Muslims like some sort of non-rational insect hive. That is the operating implication of the left and much of the right. It prevents assigning personal moral agency, and responsibility, to Muslims, both individually and collectively. For some reason even radical Muslims dont see this as an insult and use the image themselves. Go figure.
The point of blaming the video was to deflect blame from the State Dept and the executive agencies for failing to adequately prepare or react to a predictable, planned attack, which other nations own security organizations had not just prepared for (by withrawing their personnel from Benghazi) but warned the US. As did the Libyans, repeatedly. Not to mention the US local staff and the ambassador. Apparently this was the worst kept secret plan in North Africa. The video was supposed to have been the cause of some spontaneous reaction that could not have been anticipated, some random person poking the insect hive. That wasnt the case, it was what can only be near-acephalic stupidity and negligence by the US government that left that facility vulnerable, almost completely unguarded.
PBandJ_LeDouanier admits: There's no way she's smart enough to game out this stuff.
Susan Rice said the same stupid thing but she's not stupid either. Someone with higher rank was orchestrating this: probably the same Iranian witch who called the mayor of BR last Sunday.

" That wasnt the case, it was what can only be near-acephalic stupidity and negligence by the US government that left that facility vulnerable, almost completely unguarded."
This sort of thinking is attractive. Like blaming W for ignoring a specific notification about AQ, or Reagan bugging out after he promised not to retreat from Iranian backed terrorist who killed hundreds.
But, S happens. Four dead folks in Libya was surely an F-up that lands at some diplomat's desk (as w/ W and Reagan). But, this isn't going to touch HRC. And, cons aren't going after the lower levels where the culpability rose to. This is the tell. Cons don't care about the four dead Americans. If they did they'd care about who could have done something. They're hoping this can help their POTUS candidate.
"Isn't Beldar ensconced over at Instapundit commments?"

There were anti-Western riots in various places over the rumored video in the ME that day. Most of the rioters had never seen the video. The few I saw interviewed looked as though they had never heard of Youtube until that day. Maybe not even then. They worked for dial-a-riot, I suppose.
Only in Bengazi did the protesters carry out a disciplined and sustained attack on the US embassy. They did this because they weren't rioters, they were al Qaida on a mission to attack the embassy and do as much damage as they could before the cavalry showed up.
Well, the cavalry never showed up.
The latest rumor that I've heard is that before the military could go in, they needed Hillary's state department to check off on the operation. They didn't do this until it was too late.
Why didn't they sign off on it? Maybe because there was an election less than two months away and there were political considerations.
If anyone else has a better explanation why the US embassy was allowed to be overrun, I'd love to hear it.
Is that where the A game (who used to be here) went?
Everbodyy knows the A game went to Lem's (including Palladian). Don't pretend you didn't know that.
A few observations:
1. To beat Hillary, the GOP needs to unify. Aggrieved anti-Trumpsters need to put the country's interest ahead of personal pet peeves.
2. I think Pence, a rock-solid Conservative, did a great job. If his spot as VP doesn't appeal to right-wingers or National Review or Weekly Standard, nothing will.
3. I think Ryan did a good job bridging the gap between Trump and the establishment.
4. However, I am concerned about the excessive Trump family members singing his praises. They look like great, well-adjusted young adults, no doubt. But, to win, Trump needs more than that. He needs an army. He needs Cruz, Rubio, McCain, the Bushes, dare I say Romney? - all their connections, all their networks, all their money guys, all their supporters.
5. This is a close election. It will be fought in the trenches. I want Trump to win, because Hillary and he leftist acolytes will cause great harm to the country. So I hope Trump can reach out even more to the disaffected GOP elements, and I hope said elements do the right thing and reach back.
"We care enough to applaud the mother of one of Obama's sacrifices. We applaud the man who sticks it to the woman who laughed it off."
Sure. And the W and Reagan blunders of much greater impact. Those don't seem so important. Has it occurred to you that some folks, looking at how cons selectively try to use dead Americans as political fodder, might be more than a bit queasy?
I have literally lost internet friends over this.
Your "internet friends" sound as decent and mature as the crew on Clueless.
And so let me get this straight: Because you keep cyber-company (the most meaningful sort, don't get me wrong), with really bitchy, catty kids, I'm the one who's in the wrong logically because they can't act like grown-ups - either by playing you against me or besting me themselves?
That sounds like a logic fail in the extreme. You miss the company of people who intentionally manipulate you, as if that manipulation makes them logically more persuasive than the guy they hate: Me.
You disappoint on so many levels. Illogical, easily manipulated, and socially insecure.
Tell me who these so-called "friends" of yours are who de-friended you for so petty a reason. I will take them to the toolshed myself and make them rue the day they ever betrayed you.

Not that I'd doubt you'd betray me anyway. Like you did on the day that you de-linked my blog and justified it by accusing me of lying. I asked you when I had lied and you had no evidence of it.
I thought Trump supporters were supposed to value loyalty. I guess sloganeering and winning is just really more important. ;-(
Althouse and Meade have a bit of history ignoring and belittling their homeless commenters

I know what you're saying. Tonight one of the speakers said that Trump always promptly pays his bills. Imagine how shocked I was to learn that this is BS.

Not to detract from Palladian, but I know how it feels for a chemistry know-it-all to ignore and belittle his best chemistry-post commenter.
I'm going to go full Trump tonight. You're going to hear about all the slights you've subjected me to.
We need to make Blog-land great again. First, go after all the betrayers.
Tell me who these so-called "friends" of yours are who de-friended you for so petty a reason.
Why would I do that? I forgive them.
ignoring and belittling are two different things. Right?
Anywho, I thought it was sort of harshly real (i.e. anti PC, as stated in the Trump era) when Althouse kept fat shaming to annoy Trooper. Likewise it was cool when she tried to instigate a Sire V Palladian battle. In fact, early on (in 08), I thought it was reasonable when I was scolded for idiocy by the professor.
Like her ever changing comment rules try to state: keep it interesting.

Did you just learn this tonight? Trump is a notorious stiff. Check out the NYT story on his relationship with Roy Cohn for details.
In Trump's defense, I think he let Cohn off for unpaid "bills" when Cohn never even billed Trump for the many professional, etc., favors he bestowed upon The Orange One. But to still send him bills, especially when he was dying of AIDS, well...
I don't see why anyone should be surprised. He's a quadruple bankrupt who grew his father's business at a rate slower than the rate of growth in the market. A one-time bankrupt is one thing. A serially unrepentant quadruple bankrupt who runs on his "businessman credentials" is a total charlatan. And a cheapskate, to boot.
Why would I do that? I forgive them.
I will never understand you. You always seem to do the opposite of what any self-respecting person would do - no matter the circumstances.
Well, if you're happy with having people walk all over you - while you never fail to imagine big nothings over which to stab me in the back, then I guess that's how it goes. You just must have this way of perceiving the world that I will never understand.
Ritmo, or Montana, or....
I was kidding about my shock.
But it makes me sad, anyway.
PBJ - I had a feeling but just wanted to be sure. There is a superfluous googolplex of endless Trump supporters here and everywhere else who seem to buy the TRUMP=LOYALTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY facade hook, line and sinker.
However, I am concerned about the excessive Trump family members singing his praises. They look like great, well-adjusted young adults, no doubt. But, to win, Trump needs more than that.
It worked for the Kennedys.
PB&J,
I take your point, but the idea that there's more than a handful of Indy voters out there that remember what happened in Lebanon 25 years ago just doesn't have much juice. On the other hand, the architect of the slaughter at Benghazi is running for the Presidency today.
"who seem to buy the TRUMP=LOYALTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY facade hook, line and sinker. "
Well, they did see him on an NBC reality show. So, obviously he should be POTUS.
And, Kanye's already stated that he's prepping for eight years down the road.
Presumably, sixteen years is enough time to adjust the Constitution for Bieber.
Thank you Ritmo, for not stinking this place up, like you usually do (until now) P.U.
