    Q&A re Donald Trump - A Little Levity
    Q: How many people does it take for Donald Trump to screw in a lightbulb?

    A: Three. One to screw in the bulb, the second to bill the Secret Service $20K for security lighting, and the third to appear on Fox News to claim Obama left the country in the dark.


    A: Trick question. Trump doesn't use light bulbs since, like windmills, they cause cancer. Once Jared is done curing the virus, he will head up a task force to find an alternative to light bulbs. Then a Fox News "scientist" will claim Trump invented the light bulb.

    Thanks to George Conway - husband of Kelly Ann.

    Yes we don't need any new pieces to point that out, Trump is doing what he is capable of, being a TV star who says few words and thinks even less. We know he reflects the mentality of his supporters, but right now your nation needs more than a President who fires his detractors. Trump thinks he is still firing apprentices when he should be leading

    You sorta of hit the nail on the head Clete. His pressers are as digusting as ever. Now he is investigating the WHO, and citizens are waiting for their bailout checks, delayed so the dufus can get his name on them...UGH!

    Trumper is now trying to assemble a "team" of economists and big business owners to agree with him that the US must open up by May 1. When things go to hell, we can point to the team (not him) as being the ones who opened things up.

    More and more, Trump is living in an alternate reality and is becoming more and more dangerous. His behavior is predicted to be increasingly out of touch with his normal surroundings. This explains why he makes daily claims at the ridiculous press conferences that he is "totally" in charge, he knew about the pandemic "long before anyone else", and his actions are "beautiful".

    Ivanka breaks the rules, a daughter of privilege and also corrupt, considering her statement about her China business and trademarks granted. Like father, like daughter.

    They didn't talk and act that way either. I looked at a video of him when much younger -- articulate, responded well to his interviewer, had appropriate facial expressions, didn't repeat phrases ad infinitum. Now, watch his news briefings. (P.S. Why are you deflecting?)

    You do realize that, in the spirit of levity, my remark was tongue in cheek? Biden doesn't repeat phrases since about half the time he can't remember them.

    Deflecting? Nah. More like pointing out the rampant hypocrisy of democrats who were fine with HC but want to constantly ride the Trump horse. Can't have it both ways. Kavanaugh accused of even being around sexual assault? Crucify him! Biden actually accused of sexual assault? Well, boys will be boys, the statute of limitations might have run out, you can't trust what a woman says, or any other excuse a person can come up with.

    You haven't identified any. Not only that, you aren't really qualified to identify them simply by watching someone on television. Not sure that anyone is, but if they are, they would need to be an unbiased observer.

    You didn't read the link I posted. And I'm unbiased and qualified, had decided to vote for him until he mocked the handicapped man; his problems are very obvious.

    In the beginning, I was excited about his run for president. I loved watching "The Apprentice" and respected him as a businessman who would be an important change for the better in Washington.

    After reading and listening to reports of people who've spent time with him, I have no doubt the man needs serious help and should be rehomed to a safe place.

    I feel the same way about HC. I think Biden borders on dementia. I guess we all have our opinions. In your case, I suspect your basic support of abortion and the gay agenda has much to do with your opposition to Trump.

    Not true! They simply want to be who they are and want the rest of us to be who we are. The opposite is true about them wanting us to be like them. The straights (cis people) want them to be like the cis are.

    Perhaps you would be more comfortable with Biden had he paid a few women to keep their mouth shut, and gay people are humans too, they want what straight people want, acceptance and a chance at life love and happiness...and freedom from discrimination and bias, just like everybody else.

    You're the one comfortable with a guy who has been accused of sexual assault. You're also the one who went on and on endlessly about the need for all of us to believe Dr. Ford's poorly supported accusations against Kavanaugh. Why the double standard? Kavanaugh for SCOTUS? Never!! Biden for pres? Absolutely!! Again, why the double standard? Sure sounds like basic politics.

    You voted for the dufus and supported Kavanaugh, so don't get crazy for us supporting Biden. Geez if dems have to act like repubs to get the white house cleaned out...why NOT? Go ahead call me names. If they are true its not name calling and we just throw rocks until after the election.

    Its not like I'm comfortable with the accuasations just waiting to see how it plays out. The same way with Kavanaugh even though the drunk frat boy had much to be desired and his accuser like Bidens deserves to be taken seriously and heard. I just hope the dems don't make any investigations a sham whitewash like repubs did.

    I ain't holding my breathe and I ain't voting repub either.

    You really think there are going to be democrat party investigations of the sexual assault charges against Biden? I guess those will take place right after the democrat party investigation of his Ukraine connections relative to his son.

    Biden and Ukraine are already settled except as a repub/dufus talking point for the election. Hmm all the repub investigations have gone nowhere in the last decade.

    Considering that it's not been investigated, then I guess you're right. But thank goodness you no doubt consider that the "Trumped up" charges for impeachment hearing are already settled as well except, of course, as a talking point for the dems.

    Dems proved the case conclusively, even without the Mueller Report, but repubs already were waving the free pass card for the dufus, and when you have the jury in your pocket it was a foregone conclusion what the outcome would be. We've beaten that horse though and all the other repub investigations of dems so it's water under the bridge for now, as this virus and the dufus handling of it is front and center.

    We've gone from boom to bust rather fast and it's not getting better, with more poor people, more sick people, and more dead people.

    Sure they did.

    The case against HC was proved conclusively, but the FBI director, after Lynch met with BC in private for 45 minutes, simply took it upon his democrat self not to press charges. But there was no doubt that she did what was alleged.

    The good news is the dem controlled Congress is staying home. Best thing that could have happened. Let the pres do the leading.
