Heavens! Shouldn...Alicia Machado posed for Playboy. Heavens! Shouldn't one be ashamed of that? <br /><br />Dear me, I'm not suggesting that our future FLOTUS should be ashamed of posing in a lesbian photo spread. No! Heavens to Betsy, NO! There's nothing in MY book that makes it shameful when a good Republican future FLOTUS shows the world her beautiful nude mammaries and keister! That's perfectly okay, m'dear. We pass judgement on those who are not of our tribe, and Ms. Machado is not one of us, if you know what I mean -- "Machado!" What is THAT?!<br /><br />Mrs. Trump -- the third Mrs. Trump -- is a lovely woman who enjoys using other women's thoughts when she gives speeches, who told just a teeny little fib about her college degree, and who has fully contributed to American culture by designing jewelry and giving America a new perfume. What accomplishments! <br /><br />Harumph! What did Michelle Obama do with her Ivy League degrees? (If she even honestly earned them, if you know what I mean.) Let's be serious, which should we prefer, a First Lady who manufactures jewelry only rich women can afford or a First Lady who has a first rate education from the nation's finest educational institutions. <br /><br />Hmmmm. I know what I, as a fine Republican woman, would choose!<br /><br /><br />Lady Pinkbottomhttps://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/dramatic-senior-woman-martini-4042064.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-40336164644277578052016-09-29T13:34:07.165-04:002016-09-29T13:34:07.165-04:00As we all know, Trump is a Liar and a Cheat.

Kiss Florida goodbye, schmuck.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/2016/10/14/donald-trump-cuban-embargo-castro-violated-florida-504059.html" rel="nofollow">HOW DONALD TRUMP’S COMPANY VIOLATED THE UNITED STATES EMBARGO AGAINST CUBA</a><br /><br /><b>Documents show that the Trump company spent a minimum of $68,000 for its 1998 foray into Cuba at a time when the corporate expenditure of even a penny in the Caribbean country was prohibited without U.S. government approval. But the company did not spend the money directly. Instead, with Trump’s knowledge, executives funneled the cash for the Cuba trip through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corp. Once the business consultants traveled to the island and incurred the expenses for the venture, Seven Arrows instructed senior officers with Trump’s company—then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts—how to make it appear legal by linking it after the fact to a charitable effort.</b><br />Lee Arnoldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-32846817426373110312016-09-29T10:54:31.027-04:002016-09-29T10:54:31.027-04:00Here here Shaw!

A vote for Donald Dumbass is a vote to destroy America.<br /><br />You and I know that's not how change comes about. More than a strongman bully is needed to change what's happening in government. Getting rid of career senators and representatives is one good way. We changed the Constitution to limit terms for the POTUS, we should do the same for Congress. I truly believe most of our problems come from entrenched politicians, both Democratic and Republican, whose allegiances are with lobbyists and corporations, not the American people. There's only so much a president can do, because of checks and balances on the executive branch, as we've seen during Mr. Obama's presidency. But Congress can do more harm.<br /><br />Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-9936004152978469842016-09-29T09:30:41.832-04:002016-09-29T09:30:41.832-04:00Re: Trump and his obsession with the former Miss U...Re: Trump and his obsession with the former Miss Universe -- seriously, this melonhead thinks he should be president, and all he's been talking about is a beauty contest winner? What an asshat:<br /><br />From Digby's blog:<br /><br /><br /><b>"In the situation Donald Trump is in with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, any media professional or really anyone with a conscience would say this: "We quarreled many years ago. It's in the past. I truly wish her the best." Done and done.<br /><br />But just an hour ago Trump went on O'Reilly to again trash Machado, now saying that he saved her job, gave her a shot at not being fat and this is the thanks he gets. Yes, he really said that. "You know, they wanted to fire her. The company itself wanted to fire her. I saved her job ... I saved her job because I said that's going to -- I did that with a number of young ladies. The staff itself [wanted to fire her]. Look what happened. Look what I get out of it. I get nothing. A lot of things are coming out about her."<br /><br />"Why Would You Vote for a Man This Insecure?" asked the headline on a Charlie Pierce post from Tuesday. Trump's campaign tried to change the subject to Clinton's health or to make her husband's sexual history a campaign issue."</b><br /><br />Insecure, irrelevant, stupid, vengeful, childish. What has Trump said that qualifies him to be POTUS? He's blubbering about a beauty contest winner?
