Freaking Phantom Of The Opera.

LOL

[Cobra64]

Yeah, I don't know of any clowns that build these things:

[jazusamo]

Bump!

[kiryandil]

Hey, you're a shieldmaiden. You get to come to Iceland, too.

And we won't say anything about your stable of captive Briton hunky boys. :)

[Chgogal]

Then you don't read people well.

My advice to you, look at the output, such as business success and what his family is like.

[Kaslin]

Sorry, I couldn’t hear a word

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Of course there are no clowns. There are no clowns crossing the border to work on Trump projects.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Your very own post 83 , referred to Kempster addressing me , which he did not .... you are either confused or lying

[Salamander]

For Vinland!

LOL

Would you rather send the grandkids Bill Clinton’s message that oral sex is not sex? That abusing young interns is okay? I have no problem sending my offspring the message that working hard can pay off.

Apparently you also have no problem sending your offspring the message that marriage has no value, that cheating on your spouse and with the spouses of others is acceptable and even admirable, that honoring your commitments to others is optional, etc.

[Chode]

his lottery number was 356...

[Chgogal]

Ain't that the truth! The bar called Sixteen has a fabulous view looking east over the river.

[Salamander]

Oh, ew, ick.

No Brits.

Celts and Norse, only, please.

[Chgogal]

Trump’s children have turned out rather well, don’t you think?

[PA Engineer]

Yeah, this is so much better.

They always out themselves. Reminds me of evening touch football games (hardly touch football with broken bones and stitches) when I was young. There were that group standing on the side when it came time to fill the last of the eleven.

[Salamander]

Here, chuck this at him.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And really, what good does it do when we take time out of our lives and money out of our checkbooks to fly to Washington D.C. by the hundreds of thousands –twice—and are still ignored?

Now you see the problem.

Being polite, soft spoken and patient has been a major bust.

Ms Fletcher, if the people in Washington DC, bureaucrats, pundits and politicians had any idea of the deep seething anger out here they would be praying for Trump not only to be elected but that he does half of what he promises.

Because if he does not. If there is not a safe release on this pressure valve then we are going to be coming to Washington DC by the hundreds of thousands. And it will not be to offer y'all cookies and milk.

It will mean that the awkward time is over.

And it will be Beltway parasite, lamp post, rope, some assembly required.

So I have to ask again, if your child behaved the way Donald Trump does, would you be okay with that?

Yes.

You see there are sometimes when you have to get someones attention.

[PA Engineer]

I don't get it.

You notice they never interview his exes anymore.

[Salamander]

My childhood playmate was a jock cousin.

I got no breaks.

My dad never gave me any, either.

Tough up or give up.

No in between.

Trump prides himself in honoring his commitments, so I don’t know where you’re coming from. As for marriage, it’s be on the down slope for the last sixty years. Used to be living together was called shacking up and not done in polite society. Nowadays is seems to be de rigueur. Trump didn’t cause that and can’t fix it.
