This one made me laugh out loud.
Did you know Donald Trump has written over 15 books? Yes, it's true. But they all start with Chapter 11.

But... I'm sure people are exaggerating his hatred for Muslims...
MSNBC wrote:Trump repeated – favorably – an apparent myth about how General John Pershing summarily executed dozens of Muslim prisoners in the Philippines with tainted ammunition during a guerilla war against the occupying United States.

“He took fifty bullets, and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the fifty people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the fiftieth person he said ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, okay?”

The story appears to be a hoax spread via e-mail forwards, according to rumor tracker Snopes.com, with no evidence it occurred.all with Donald Trump.
The moral of the tale, according to Trump: “We better start getting tough and we better start getting vigilant, and we better start using our heads or we’re not gonna have a country, folks.”

In case you were wondering what a random dude in South Carolina thinks about the GOP candidates:
John and Teresa Wilkinson, however, said they’ve been with Donald Trump from the start. “Trump may be a fraud — we don’t know yet — but at least he speaks his mind,” said John Wilkinson, a 66-year-old human-resources consultant. “As far as I’m concerned, they could run a dog and I would have voted for him before any of these other assholes,” he said.
And that, in a nutshell, is why Trump will be our next President.

I wonder if President Obama would have attended the funeral of Justice Scalia if it were held in a Mosque? Very sad that he did not go!
Every day I wonder if Trump can be more disgusting than the last and he never lets me down.

How long would have been appropriate? Did the macaroni casserole they brought not cover their obligations? What "sacrifice" is required when someone dies?

First, you imply he doesn't give a shit, then when it's shown that he does give a shit, you imply that he doesn't give ENOUGH of a shit.

Dude is the president of the united states. 25 minutes of his time is worth more than most people's whole month. They weren't best friends. I'm sure they didn't even like each other. Yet he STILL attended to Scalia's family personally. It's like the only person with any class is the President, and people are so irked that he doesn't join them in the mud that they dump all over him.

Wtf is wrong with people these days?

I do think that the President and other high profile members of government should attend his funeral/service/showing/etc, unless they have something more pressing or it's otherwise not practical. And yes, twenty five minutes is fine.

I will applaud Scalia for attending the entire funeral, though. Otherwise that would have just been awkward. (too soon?)

I bet he even takes a shit on occasion. That's time he could have spent at Scalia's funeral, too.

Can you at least find real things to be pissed at him about? I feel like I'm reading MSD after he's just come back from the insanity circuit.

Look, you say you support Trump, who gives Obama all the respect of one of his wives he likes to rape, but you have a problem with Obama for "only" giving Scalia's family 25 minutes of his time and respect?

I'm starting to see the wisdom of those who have you on ignore already.

I mean, how on EARTH can you talk about respect when you support Trump and he's busy running around claiming Obama would have "shown up if it had been in a mosque".

You aren't putting forth a different opinion or even just being contrary. Now it's just douchebaggery.

No, you've been pretty clear about your support. I gave you the benefit of the doubt early on, but every negative item about the man results in an eruption of defensive posts full of admiration for Trumpy by the Ripster. Wear your freak flag proudly, my man.

I don't need to support someone to point out attacks on them are weak or unfounded.

The candidate I supported has already dropped so I hitch my wagon to the the one I hate the least.

Trump has many positions I disagree with. For one he proclaims neutrality in the middle east while I am and have always been a staunch supporter of the jewish state.

I think you meant to write "Israel". But you've never been able to see them as anything but a group of Jewish people. Kind of insulting, I think.

Israel refers to themselves as the jewish state. Take it up with them.

I could care less about their "faith" one way or the other. I don't give a crap about religion and my support of them has zilch to do with religion. They could all convert to Pastafarianism and it wouldn't matter to me. Heck many of the politicians in the US I dislike most are jewish.

And yet you usually refer to them as the Jewish state when talking about them. Even going so far as to insinuate that liberals were anti-Semitic at one point because they didn't back Netanyahu during his war of words with Obama a while back. Go figure.
