I love hearing immigrants talk about how wonderful this country is. It’s a reminder to those of us lucky enough to have been born here of just how much we take for granted.
Craig Ferguson’s biography has an appropriate title. It’s also a great read for fans:
Kristof has a funny column today on the CIA Briefing.
Mr. Trump, I’m Gene Smith from the C.I.A.”
“Smith, huh? Is that your code name? You know, I know a huge amount about the C.I.A., more than most C.I.A. directors. A terrific, beautiful, very good organization.”
“Actually, Smith is my real name. Anyway, let’s get started with China and our assessment that Xi is much more aggressive than Hu.”
“She is more aggressive than who?”
“Exactly.”
“Well, I’d like to meet her. I like aggressive women. She sounds like a 10.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know. That aggressive woman.”
“I’m not sure I understand. Anyway, in China we assess with high confidence that Xi will continue this aggressive nationalistic ——”
“She sounds hot. No, I’m just joking. But, seriously, women love me.”
“Mr. Trump, Xi is a man, president of China.”
“She is a man? China’s president is trans? Boy, they’re more modern than I realized — I mean, I knew that. I know so much about China. You should see me use chopsticks! Did I ever tell you about this hot Chinese girl I once dated? She was so modern, and built like ——”

Almost every immigrant loves their country more than natives do.
Kristol channeling Abbot and Costello. Weird…

Seems like Clint Eastwood needs a safe space from being called a racist for saying racist shit. Damn political correctness.
I read Eastwood’s comments and my immediate thought was, “Damn, someone wasn’t really acting in Gran Torino.”

A psychiatrist comments on Trump:
I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard
bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an
infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be
satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside
himself has value — indeed exists — only insofar as it sustains and
inflates him.
That’s liberal icon Charles Krauthammer, in today’s Washington Post.
Translation: Trump just discovered the Crimea thing (thanks George Stephanopoulos!) and then discovered that most people think it is a bad thing. So - blame Obama!
Yeah, but who is eaten first? They’re the winners here.
Trump Eats People of All Races and Religions
Who would Trump pick for his cabinet?
[quote]
“I want to know just as a female, who you would actually put into office as one of the first females in your cabinet?” asked Angelia Savage, a reporter with “First Coast News.”
“Well there are so many different ones to choose, I can tell you everybody would say – ‘Put Ivanka in! Put Ivanka in!’ You know that, right?” Trump said.
“She’s very popular, she’s done very well. And you know Ivanka very well. But there really are so many that are talented people, like you,” he said to Savage, “You’re so talented, I don’t know if your viewers know that.” The GOP nominee proceeded to joke about naming Savage to his cabinet.[/quote]
Bravo. Whatever Hillary is paying her Twitter guy, it’s probably not enough.
I think they are paying him/her too much.
Social Media Manager for Hillary Clinton Campaign
Job Responsibilities. Present positive consistent image for Hillary Clinton across multiple social media… blah blah blah
2. Troll Donald Trump and get him to say stupid things on twitter.
I personally would do the second part of the job for free, and I am sure a million people would do the same. Now, I’ll grant that whoever does the job is doing fantastic work, but I think that’s mostly cause Trolling Trump doesn’t take huge skill.

Not adding anything new here, but Hal (the writer of the following piece) lives near me, and he’s a great guy.

For very personal reasons,“I always wanted to get the Purple Heart” really plumbs the depths of his beyond-stupid statements Well, Donald, my son got his by getting shot with a bullet from an AK-47. Way to trivialize it, you fucking asshole.
