Of course! He has exposed them all.

I think there has to be some neurological malfunction that was there from birth. I agree that he has exposed the ruling class for what they are. But I get the impression that it is unwitting. I believe he believes his own bullshyte. Remember the film The Ruling Class with Peter O'toole? In that vein.

He may have been an oligarch, but I think he's about out of money.
Now he's going to have to learn how to be poor.

He ran out of hockable assets a while back and has just been selling his name. But of course nobody will want to put his name on anything anymore.

Maybe on a few stock cars and toxic waste sites?

Ah, The Ruling Class! Great movie! After seeing that, what else do we need to know about our Class Enemies! -- grin

Does anyone here believe Trump comes up with any of his talking points from his own mind?



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

Trump's speech today, at Gettysburg, where he spoke of "hollowed" ground, caused an immediate reaction in Mr. Lincoln:

Having now caught up with the story, my disgust only deepened. Even worse, the NRA filmed an anti-Clinton ad at a national cemetery. Sleaze is too kind a word!


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

The Price I’ve Paid for Opposing Donald Trump

David French

October 21, 2016

Trump’s alt-right trolls have subjected me and my family to an unending torrent of abuse that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

I distinctly remember the first time I saw a picture of my then-seven-year-old daughter’s face in a gas chamber. It was the evening of September 17, 2015. I had just posted a short item to the Corner calling out notorious Trump ally Ann Coulter for aping the white-nationalist language and rhetoric of the so-called alt-right. Within minutes, the tweets came flooding in. My youngest daughter is African American, adopted from Ethiopia, and in alt-right circles that’s an unforgivable sin. It’s called “race-cucking” or “raising the enemy.”

I saw images of my daughter’s face in gas chambers, with a smiling Trump in a Nazi uniform preparing to press a button and kill her. I saw her face photo-shopped into images of slaves. She was called a “niglet” and a “dindu.” The alt-right unleashed on my wife, Nancy, claiming that she had slept with black men while I was deployed to Iraq, and that I loved to watch while she had sex with “black bucks.” People sent her pornographic images of black men having sex with white women, with someone photoshopped to look like me, watching.

Must be especially delicious to watch this now. Just wait until "Pulling a Trump" becomes common slang for appealing to the worst in America.

Karma is a bitch, isn't it! LOL
