I personally would leave
this asshole's remains where they are, and erect a museum on the horrors of his misdeads above them. Perhaps the design could be such that his actual grave would be directly under the WCs.

Grexit will be back, because the Greeks cannot repay their debt. If their creditors were private institutions, there would be some negotiation over the haircut they would take, but since the Troika bailed out the creditors (read: German and French banks) in 2010, now it is European governments who are on the hook, and the politicians there would prefer to keep kicking the can down the road instead having to explain to their voters that they will never be paid in full. And then there are those who are trying to kick the Greeks out.

As for Trump, unlike Greece in Europe, he is not going away, because he is the only candidate in the GOP field who is willing to say what a lot of conservatives think about immigration. A lot of conservatives like him for that reason, and don't care if he is crass about John McCain's service. If the rest of the field gangs up on him, that may help him. And if they kick him out of the GOP primary, he could run as an independent, which would do wonders for his ego and the Democratic nominee.

Trump is short term. Every cycle he starts out, then realizes it is more fun to just be a billionaire. A CEO lives a life where he never hears no, and his word is law. Pretty soon he will again remember why he quit last time and drop.

The difference this time is I think he hurt his future as a celeb. The Mexican stuff may be no more harmful than the Obama birth certificate blabbing, but the McCain stuff has got to hurt him as a TV personality.

I predict that within the next three months, the name Donald Trump will be no more than one of those awkward punchlines everybody chuckles nervously at and hopes no one remembers.

Isn't it obvious by now that being the biggest asshole in a Republican primary guarantees you a certain percentage of the vote? While I don't think he will actually win, I suspect he will be among the last three standing.

Somewhere, there is a room full of serious republican operatives discussing whether Huckabee is a viable, saner alternative to Trump.

I can't believe they have 37 million customers. Some of those have to be accounts set up for a lark.

Did they actually get posted anywhere?

That would be nice, but no one else is speaking out against immigration, so he is going to continue to get real support.

Stop for a moment to contemplate the number of people on whom your job depends who Trump "assumes' might be okay.
