Well, at least he has a sense of humor.

Isn't that what his entire campaign is about?  He's getting publicity and setting the tone, I seriously doubt that dude would put up with all the shit that goes with being president.

Yeah, you know, I know it sounds crazy, but I actually think the sonofabitch is gonna bow out in the end.  I think his goal is to fire up the Republican Party, push a few buttons, set the agenda for the campaign, make a name for himself and then sit back and play the 'king maker'... then I think he's gonna bow out with some lame excuse and let the poor sap that's left try to win.

He had a long, private, conversation with Bill Clinton before he started campaigning.  I think he's trying to torpedo the GOP.  Trump is much more liberal than he's been playing for the religious right, etc.

Jumping the shark.

Buh-bye Huckabee.

I nominate this thread for featured threadom. Any seconds?

Every four years, maybe.

Why wait, don't we already have some folks campaigning for 2020?

Some shit weasel is always running for public office, just like it's always happy hour somewhere but guess I'll take that for a no.

At least he's dependable and in continent.

So out of all those supposed "Leaders" they can't find a single "Leader"?

Curious though, in the Marines, do they teach that the best way to survive a near ambush is to charge the attacker?  For the Army, this is (or was in my time) SOP for line infantry, Ranger & SF training.

Cover, return fire, evaluate and counter-attack.  Don't get sucked into a full ambush by a skirmisher line.  Most importantly don't trust those Blue Team Indicators - fucking complete crap; seriously IFF for ground troops?  Do you have any idea how many of those have been compromised or are just plain buggy?

This is long, but it is really worth reading:
The Long Con

I found it by way of this article, which is shorter and funnier, because Ben Carson.

It's nowhere near rock bottom. I'm actually looking forward to the spectacle of the Vice President running the country while the President is locked up in rehab.

Oh, yes, please.  We need this voice added to the dialogue ASAP.

This Post report is great. It details the extent to which party-fueled media pandering and shit-stirring have gotten far beyond the grasp of the GOP establishment, and perhaps even that of its conservative factions.

I get all warm and fuzzy just reading that Georgette.  Thanks!

Can you pin the tail on the elephant, or the donkey, and predict when this race officially runs amok?
We all know it will.
Enter your winning date entry today!

I'ma pin down August 15, 2016.
By then, the two parties will have picked their nominees, we'll know who the prospective veeps are, and the four contenders left will be about 90% insane from all they've been through for the past 2+ years. I'm hoping for blood, and/or extremely compromising video.

I'm not so sure, what with the way the Republicans are trying so desperately to lose. It seems to me that they want to remain in their strong bastion of opposition in Congress, throwing shit-balls at the Democratic President and tantrums since they don't seem to know how to do anything else anymore. A Republican President would put them under severe pressure to pass laws and do a little honest work, and since their new mantra has become Shutting Down The Government that just won't do.

I'm betting on a photograph of Hillary fucking a pig so badly photoshopped even Gramma can see the lines and with the Republican contender's actual fingerprints clearly visible by September 17th.

Nah I want to hook that bitch and force a shut down before the caches flush; it's part of a great story from my days as a Night Op.  Fuck the ISAMs databases, who do they think they are?

Ahh politics and politicians
