The Rose Garden and White House happenings: Listening to voters’ concerns

PB2 stopped posting when he took a senior banking position in London and moved there. Met him twice in Hong Kong when he was here on business just after he stopped posting. He's a traditional conservative Catholic who would likely join Opus Dei if he hasn't already. Enjoyed meeting him even though we see the world differently. And he spends time in Vietnam, where his wife is from, so we share an Asia connection.
Did you address each other with your "Christian names?"

That's what they call a "deep cut".
Interesting take-away. Is the individual being dissected here, the same poster who provided tornado chase reportage back in the day?

I imagine he didn't call dave "sick", "depraved", or "demented" to his face.
That’s the 30%….

He may be a candidate but I hardly think he is a contender.
He might want to watch himself when it comes to campaigning though, brown folks who go knocking on MAGA doors run a good risk of getting shot.

his campaign has already ended. GOP primary voters are NOT going to like this statement:
He praised America’s ideals of rule of law and self-governance. But when reminded the country was also built on the practice of slavery, he said, “Is America hypocritical? Yes.”

Woke talk like that could get him arrested in Florida.

He might be new to you but he's been running since February.

to be fair, even today roughly 99% of voters have probably never heard of him.

Well, after watching the Duggars documentary on Sunday, I decided to spend the last couple of days reading the threads from the closest we ever got to one of those nutbars - Pennboy2. Ah, memory lane!
Fun fact: PB2 still has an account here, he just got so offended by our centrist American values he's refused to post anything for the last 10 years.

GOPman gave up when the real GOP got too crazy to parody
Meanwhile, the sky here in Ocean County at 7 pm.
I am aware, from first hand accounts, that you all have been experiencing awful weather for several days. This was the first day it was really bad here. Stay well.

Very clever try to get your old anon account more followers, Dr... 
Because mtierney has posted David French in the past, and because she often comments on Donald Trump, here's an opinion article by David French on Donald Trump for her:
Given What We Know, Not Charging Trump Would Be the Greater Scandal
I believe she's said she has a NYT subscription, but in case she doesn't, shared as a gift article. I look forward to the cartoon response.

Ta dah!
Your cartoon just proves that Hillary was right.
“The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”
Of course there are no words probably left in the English language to describe Hillary Clinton. Maybe Despicable or Machiavellian might work?
I guess fat jokes are now allowed.

I guess you didn't get the reference. It was Trump who made Christie the butt of a fat joke this week.

How about "better than Trump"?
And I have never been a fan of the Clintons.

Hmmm, some 73 million people — not to worry, however, none live in the Maplewood area. They couldn’t afford it.

Only one person on this thread posting cartoons of an obese Christie.
But hey, given all the crazy self portraits you are always posting, maybe we should cut you some slack. Sorry about your hair loss.
