yeah, the old farts have done such a magnificent job of running the
country.

I'm sure the Fakeytard will claim he did. Just like when I ran Burnore
out of here, which is well-documented, and he tried to claim credit for
that. Just like when I ran Bit Rot out of here, also well-documented,
and the fakeytard tried to take credit for that.

Wow! The entertainment value continues.

I read an article in The Week the other day that made me think

Apparently the Dems have functionality built in to their primary

Something about "SuperDelegates" - and obviously Bernie is
anathema to The Establishment.

The whole election system is nothing but a sham to appease the

manage to get in... well, he IS Big Money. I wonder how many
campaign promises he'll "forget". He may actually be a Trojan
Horse,
dressed up to appeal to Joe Sixpack.

Indeed. I can't believe that all those people who are backing him
as a candidate have conveniently forgotten that he IS the
establishment (BIG MONEY), and as such has really NO connection
with the *little people*.

But he's going to "Make America Great Again" (tm).

every president since kennedy was going to do that

What I find extremely fascinating is that none of them have ever really
narrowed it down to what their definition of *great* is. People just
jump on the bandwagon and imagine (whatever it is that great means to
them) and believe that is what others mean by it. Someone else's
*great*
may not be the same as mine or Trump's or anyone else's.


It's always that way. Broad generalizations and no details. Smells
like more bull**** in a different package.

Yep. And we still have a long ways to go before it's over and the fat

He's certainly a better choice than that dishonest old bat, Hillary

I beg to differ. I think that Sanders is a better choice than both of

I agree with that sentiment. There was a time, a VERY long time ago,

the things I've learned is that it never happens. I think I'll go work
in my garden. It's much more interesting than politics.

Chimpy likes tickling pickles.
His picklecycle is a classic.
He visited Greg, who showed him his peg,
but Chimpy only likes Vlasics.

"It's no Vlasic for sure,
but my poor closet door",
said Chimpy as he kneeled on one knee,
"is already broken
so I'll get to throatin',
but after this I get to pee!"

But Gargles had one more condition
before being sucked to perdition.
"Put on this dress
and I'll do the rest,
imagining you're in transition."

The nickel slot glowed furiously hot
and slurping drowned out the sea noise.
Soon Gargles was done, he'd had all his fun.
It was quick because Gargles likes boys.

When Chimpy was done he smacked Gargles' ass
and said, "Now *that's* how to suck it!"
But no Golden Showers for Chimpy, alas.
Greg went to play with his bucket!

Bucket play done Gargles wanted more fun
so he told Chimpy it was his turn.
Chimpy didn't demur, Gargles dropped to the floor
and his throat got a case of cock burn!

"Not to worry", was heard from the retarded turd,
fapping blindingly fast like a fool.
"We'll put everything right by the end of the night.
Just swallow this, trust me, it's cool."

Gargles guzzled for hours before hitting the showers.
"How's the throat?" was the query. "No pain!
So when I am done, we'll have some more fun,
my throat's good so let's do it again!"

On into the night as the waves lapped the boat,
sounds of gagging and slurping and juice.
In that gay little boat, Chimpy battered on throat
'til Gargles said, "Let's call a truce!"

"I can't take any more! You've outgayed me for sure"
Gargles cried as he sat all defeated.

Chimpy beamed victory,
"You can't beat me, you see?
My gayness is just half depleted!"

Having heard both of them speak at length, Bush II has nothing to worry

Don't mind the VDARE site. It's an interesting article as is the link to
the comparison of Kerry and Bush. Had either Kerry or Bush been Joe
Sixpack's son, they would have done well to try for a not to rigorous
state college.

A long time ago I read about a study of high-level corporate executives
that found little or no link with high IQ.

My take is that IQ measurement falls way short of reflecting a person's
total mental ability.

And I also say that also from experience. I have (or, at least, *had*)
quite a high IQ.... yet I have always been functionally rather stupid
compared to many, many of the people around me. And I have worked with
people with extremely-high (over 145) IQ's who, although they functioned
fairly well at their craft, were clearly unsuitable for any sort of
managerial work.

Recent example: "Making of a Murderer". The kid that they coerced
into confessing has a reported IQ around 70 and he was obviously a few
cards short of a full deck. Yet Avery, who also has a reported IQ
around 70 seemed to me to be pretty sharp.

What I find extremely fascinating is that none of them have ever really
narrowed it down to what their definition of *great* is. People just
jump on the bandwagon and imagine (whatever it is that great means to
them) and believe that is what others mean by it. Someone else's *great*
may not be the same as mine or Trump's or anyone else's.


OMG! What an astute observation - - - NOT!

Go back to talking about what you're eating. At least
you have some skills in the kitchen. You're not totally
hopeless as a woman. Just stay out of politics, please.

And, since you were born in a foreign country you aren't
allowed to run for president so STFU about it already.

Being born in a foreign country is no bar to running for or becoming
president.

Per Robert Green:
Having heard both of them speak at length, Bush II has nothing to worry
about. His position at the bottom of the pack is secure.

Some weeks ago there was a New Yorker article that described the
politics of his torpedoing the Everglades Reclamation Project on behalf
of Big Sugar in Florida.

One of the points they made that he might have been temperamentally
unsuited to being POTUS because of a tendency towards "My Way or the
Highway" responses in situations where negotiation would have seemed
more productive.

You stole my line, dammit. Unlike Clinton, Trump makes **** up as he
goes along. Clinton has a staff of minions sniffing the air and
preparing the lie du jour for Her Majesty.

I looked a lot better on paper (IQ, SATs, National Merit, NYS Regents
scholarship exam, military test, whatever that was called) than looked
in real life. The most predictive thing was my grade school report cards
: 'Keeps busy at worthwhile things -- no'. I would argue that it was
more disagreeing with society on 'worthwhile'.

Per Checkmate, DoW #1:
"He could do better, if only he'd APPLY himself"

The story of my life.... -)



BTW: just heard an interesting theory around Christie's endorsement of
Trump.

The theory:

- The Repub establishment have started to accept Trump as a realistic
possibility.

- The Establishment sent Christie to Trump with the endorsement
offer in exchange for becoming a running mate.

- If a Trump/Christie ticket wins, Trump is the figurehead and
Christie makes up for Trump's lack of political experience
and knowledge by pretty much calling the shots - a bit like Dubya
and Cheyney....

- "The Base" gets their demagogue, but The Establishment has
a mole.


Who *comes up* of this stuff ?? I think whoever does is brilliant.

That's what will eventually happen, but it doesn't even have to be
Christie.
