Trump is exactly the age his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. (Of course this disease doesn't seem to be a problem for Republicans, EG. Ronald Reagan fans.)

There are a number of different genes that can be checked. Some predispose the carrier to Alzheimer's. Some make it a sure bet. Maybe Trump should consider genetic testing.

This campaign season is a college professor's gold strike. They have enough material that will fill their syllabuses for an entire term. Heck, I'll will go as far as to suggest that Trump will be a political science topic all on its own. smile


Contrarian, extraordinaire

The only way Trump would get a whole chapter is if he wins. So its hopefully a punctuation mark. The period that marks the end of the GOP Southern Strategy 1964-2016.

Not the end of the Republican party, but the end of this version of the GOP

Good to see you back after your long absence on this board Mr. Schlack. I have a question which you might have answered before, but if you have done so I missed it. So here it is:

Why your interest in the politics of the US?



Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

It's good to know that not all conservatives have fallen for the Limbaughian dystopia.

Here's a little song that talks about the creation of "anti" world views:

Both myself and NW_P posted Max Boot's op-ed which synthesizes his interview. Worth reading.
What is most interesting is that the growing number of Repubs and conservative organizations abandoning Trump reminds one of rats jumping off a sinking ship.

Ajamu Baraka, Jill Stein's running mate.

The Green Party's New VP Candidate

It starts with his condemnation of the still warm corpse of Muhammed Ali and spirals downward in a dour, armband-wearing display of the very behavior that signifies a FAILED LIBERAL, the release of the inner fascist.
This fellow is a textbook 3%-er true believer, a fractuous and vituperative malcontent who never met a human being or a political philosophy he wasn't offended by.
