Total whack jobs not conversant with reality. Who are usually also self-righteously "moderate".

See the linked cartoon and the presence of "Entitlements Disastrous" and the "smart reasonable person" saying, "We are putting our children in peril if we do not... rein in entitlement spending."

There's nothing smart, reasonable or independent about buying into the right's attempt to use a crisis to permanently gut Medicaid and Medicare. Or for that matter do away with Obamacare cost cutting measures.

I know how to fix this -- let's rename a distinctive geographic feature in Ohio after President McKinley!

They're going north, the rush is on.

Like maybe a statue of "mankind crucified on a cross of gold" or something like that?

Or perhaps President Trump will just rename Puerto Rico as "McKinleyland."

Re: They're going north, the rush is on.
 
Just reading Donald Trump's interview with Hewitt, that he said was full of "gotcha" questions. Here's the one he had the most trouble with:

HH: But on the front of Islamist terrorism, I知 looking for the next commander-in-chief, to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?
DT: No, you know, I値l tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, they値l all be changed.


Now, forget the Donald's self-professed ignorance - this reads to me like he just volunteered that he expects the whole cast of major terrorist leaders to be taken out before Obama's term is over. Isn't that the real story: Trump thinks Obama can decapitate terrorism worldwide in the coming months?

Maybe he thinks they have elections when we do?

No no no no, I don't drink it no more; I'm tired of waking up on the floor.

Work out a deal with your partner? Great. No problem. But if he decides he's tired of having to bring people like me my Maker's in exchange for you working his Christmas shift or whatever, too bad.

Bastard - that's actually a great idea. This sort of thing is why it's really all about the .01% versus the 1%.

You don't need to know the healthy scratches until you are sitting in those blue seats.

But to be fair, my college education was filled with gotcha questions like "Solve for x"

When my clients ask me stuff, I'm just saying, "that's a gotcha question" and sending them a bill.

Much as Less might disagree, religion is not a mental disability that requires a reasonable accommodation under the ADA.
