I was surprised at how biased the article was about Obama’s and Trump.Per the article, Obama was a pragmatic liberal, and Trump got elected due to racial pandering. It hurt the credibility of the article. If they were so biased on that, how can I trust the rest of the article?; 8/14/18, 9:13 PM

Someday we will have the courage to say that we no longer have to pretend a male or female can become the other sex simply by wishing it were so.

The science on that is quite settled.

Quite.

Further, we will no longer have to chant liberal religious orthodoxies such as "some women have penises" or "some men menstruate" because....no, they really dont.

If only there were a political party dedicated to calling itself the Party of Science that could explain that.; 8/14/18, 9:32 PM
Chuck said...: Just now, watching Laura Ingraham's program on FNC. LMFAO.

They ran a graphic of the dozen+ people whom Donald Trump has called a "dog" at one time or another. The obvious motivation for the graphic was to say to the Fox News audience, Hey, Donald Trump isn't a racist for calling Omarosa a "dog"! He does it all the time! He calls white guys with whom he is feuding at the moment, "dogs."

That is what the Trump Presidency has come to. The growing list of people whom the President has called "dogs." That's the good news for President Trump in this news cycle.

What a shitshow. I'm getting my laughs out of it, at least.; 8/14/18, 9:48 PM

Original Mike said...: Blogger steve uhr said...”Trump says Sessions isn't a real AG. One would expect that a real president would fire a fake AG.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if Trump fired Sessions wouldn’t that put Rosenstein in charge of the DOJ?; 8/14/18, 10:06 PM

Nobody Makes a Pass At Me

I want men that I can squeeze,
That I can please, that I can tease.
Two or three or four or more!
What are those fools waiting for?

I want love, and I want kissing.
I want more of what I'm missing.

Nobody comes knocking at my front door.
What do they think my knocker's for?
If they don't come soon,
There won't be any more!

What can the matter be?

I wash my clothes with Lux.
My etiquette's the best.
I spend my hard-earned bucks
On just what the ads suggest.

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

I'm full of Kellogg's Bran,
I eat GrapeNuts on the sly.
A date is on the can
Of coffee that I buy.

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me?

Oh, Beatrice Fairfax,
Give me the bare facts.
How do you make them fall?
If you don't save me,
The things the Lord gave me
Never will be any use to me at all!

I sprinkle on a dash
Of Fragrance d'Amour.
The ads say it "makes men rash",
But I guess their smell is poor.

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

I use Ovaltine and Listerine,
Barbasol and Musterole
Lifebuoy soap and Flit,
So why ain't I got it?

I use Coca-Cola and Mazola,
Crisco, Lesco and Marmola.
Ex-Lax and Vapex,
So why ain't I got sex?

I use Albolene and Maybelline,
Alka-Seltzer, Bromo-Seltzer,
Odorono and Sensation
So why ain't I got fascination?

My girdles come from Best,
Times ads say they're chic.
And up above I'm dressed
In the brassier of the week.

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

I use Pond's on my skin.
With Rye-Crisp I have thinned.
I get my culture in ....
I began Gone With the Wind.

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

Oh, Dorothy Dix,
Please, show me some tricks.

I want some men to hold.
I want attention
And things I can't mention,
And I want them all
Before I get too old.

I use Mum every day
And Angelus Lip-Lure,
But still men stay away.
Just like Ivory Soap,
I'm 99 and 44/100ths pure.

I don't know!

steve uhr said...: Original Mike. He can fire Rosenstein too. Since Trump appointed all the DOJ leeadership, presumably at least one of them meets his approval.; 8/14/18, 10:15 PM

Sprezzatura said...: The other R dork lost. It seems like Pawlenty and Meade's boyfriend have a similar vibe. Well, at least the WI dork won. One dork better than none.

Odd that the trans gal seems less gal than these two doRks.

Yeah, Trump is a crazy fucker, but he's our crazy fucker.; 8/14/18, 10:18 PM
Birkel said...: Trump insults th AG? Oh no!

Now, when the AG acts on things like religious freedom, will he have a clear field to run into the end zone and spike the ball? Whatever will conservatives do when PURPLE ELEPHANTS no longer spring, fully formed, into the minds of Leftist Collectivists?

Do you people even?; 8/14/18, 10:20 PM
Darrell said...: I bet Trump would call Chuck a nasty little dog nipping at his heels and shitting the carpet. I bet he would drive Chuck to a farm where he could play all day and live happily ever after.; 8/14/18, 10:22 PM

TMI. We don't need to hear about the crazy person who Fs you.

Drago said...: LLR Chuck: "That's the good news for President Trump in this news cycle."

Meanwhile, in non-Dick Durbin cuckholster Chuck world, we have this kind of good news:

"Optimism Among U.S. Small Businesses Jumps to Highest Since 1983"

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-12/optimism-among-u-s-small-businesses-jumps-to-highest-since-1983

Though thats not the kind of thing the democrats or their designated LLR cuckholsters like to chat about...for obvious "doesn't help dem chances of regaining power" reasons.

LOL

Nice going Chuckie! Hang in there "dog", as the young people say....; 8/14/18, 11:09 PM
traditionalguy said...: The trust in Trump's Presidency has started an economic boom that has hit Atlanta fast. The whole Metro area has many major projects under construction. And now it seems that the 2nd Amazon headquarters is close to coming to Atlanta to use the Railroads, Airline connections to everywhere and Interstate Highway network.

Please, let's not impeach Trump until all this construction work gets finished. So many people are willing to invest now, that even the lawyers are getting busy again.; 8/14/18, 11:17 PM

Yancey Ward said...: "The whole Metro area has many major projects under construction."

I did my post-doctoral work at Emory during 1993-1995. I visited the area I lived in during the Fall of 2003, and it hadn't changed really at all. I did the virtual tour of the area on Google street view just the other day and was floored by the changes- if you had plopped me down in the middle of it, I would not have known where I was unless you told me. The scope of the demolition and rebuilding was simply stunning.; 8/14/18, 11:52 PM
Francisco D said...: Are you nuts Chuckles?

You play the LLR role in words, but you constantly support leftists and criticize conservatives.

This goes beyond trolling. There is a lot of craziness in your schtick. The contradictions grow.
