US Presidential Candidates

Anyone noticed the anti-female bias of the media? The people around Trump who get the most attacks are KellyAnne and Ivanka. They're not being nearly so vicious to the men. So much for the liberal media being feminist. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

While I'd normally agree with you, she's prominently involved politically both during and after the campaign.

I'd say Bannon and Spicer are taking a lot more heat than Ivanka Trump is. The others aren't seeing as frequent attacks/criticism because they haven't done much in this administration yet.

He hasn't yet done anything which rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Acting like an idiot isn't impeachable. It is grounds for losing a re-election campaign.

But 2020 will be a 2 man race and the Democrats have to come up with someone who is an improvement over Trump. It shouldn't be hard but at the rate the Democrats are going it looks like most of them are secretly working for Trump's 2020 re-election committee.

No one will have to impeach him. He's going to impeach himself. He's simply not qualified for POTUS. And just like someone with no qualifications or experience being hired to run the biggest nuclear power plant on the planet, will sooner than later get themselves fired. So too shall Trump. Sooner or later he's going to step on a nuclear land mine or, even worse, push the wrong button and cause a nuclear meltdown.

Everyone's an improvement over Trump! I'm willing to bet Michelle Obama can win, since we'll be getting assistance from Barack again. Talk about Trump setting the bar waaaay waaay low. Heck, I feel I have a chance. Can't do no worse than Trump.

You know the old saying, I simply thought you were stupid until you opened your mouth and removed all doubt?'

With Trump it's become, 'I simply thought you were stupid until you opened a Twitter account and removed all doubt.'

Late Edit:

Heck, in less than a month he's already come close to causing a few nuclear meltdowns by pushing too many wrong buttons. In the first 30 days or less. More or less. And a judge had to reinsert a few control rods.

Nah, ain´t gonna happen. Would equal too much egg in the face of the republicans, so even the saner ones is much more likely to just suffer in silence while making sure no such horrors actually happen.

Not before 2019 anyway.

And if you believe that, there's a piece of real estate I have to sell you.

Also, if it was true, it doesn't change the facts of the matter: She is still enabling the Trumpenführer to do what he does, she is still profiting off of the Presidency, and she's still complicit in the greatest campaign of lies in modern politics.

Biochem, it is because men are idiots and there's always been a double standard enjoyed by us, and less is expected from them overall. Everyone knows that Trump is an idiot but since he is POTUS more is expected of him and rightly so. But when it comes to Trump's lack of regard towards women, psychologically it blows back onto his wife and daughter. The world's most intelligent species, women, expect, at the very least a "Daddy or Honey, you shouldn't say those sexist, racist, irresponsible, disrespectful, appalling and idiotic things about women. I'm a woman, don't you care about me, and what and who I represent?"

The old adage is implied in this case. "For evil to prevail, good simply has to do nothing."

The women in Trump's life appear to be doing nothing. It appears that they care about nothing but profit. So what better way to counter their madness than by hitting their pockets. I assure you what is on the minds of every potential female customer when they see Ivanka's clothing... "BITCH PLEASE! I'LL SHOW YOU!!!"

Do you think any other First Lady or First Daughters would have tolerated the sexist attitudes outwardly displayed by their husband or father?

Michelle would have torn Barack a new ass when he got home. "I KNOW YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT CRAP!"

There's also an old saying that says "Behind every successful man STANDS a woman telling him he's wrong."

There are a few women standing behind Trump.

Perhaps the dumber the First Lady the dumber the President.

>>>Ben Wedge was on his way home from work, walking down Agricola Street, earlier this week when he spotted the homemade sign in a window.

"Number of Days Since Trump Last Embarrassed America" the sign read, with a light-up, electronic ticker below.

Of course, the ticker was set to zero. <<<

You get used to it after a while.

But the funniest thing, if you look closer at the Trump Tracker is that only one number is functional. The other two are cardboard cutouts, in obvious anticipation and resolute confidence that there will only be a need for a single digit. GEES!

I think the other numbers are expected to change so rarely that it can be switched manually.

Oh and BTW, isn´t this a lovely:

More like frightening. Big Brother ain't just watching you anymore, he wants to climb in bed with you and be the milk in your Corn Flakes.

Whelp, anyone who wants to infiltrate the USA to do Wicked Things (TM) will obviously whip up a secondary (fake) set of accounts in advance, then give those passwords. The border police look at it, see standard "Hey, 'Murika Rulez! We'z Numba Wun!" and let villain pass through. Villain exits stage left while Border Police put philosopher under arrest for querying the need for guns in urban environments...
