And By “Our,” You Mean “Your.”
Last night, when most of you weren’t looking, Donald Trump said that “our wages are too high” in American.
Yeah, that’s why we’re all living in the Trump Tower. Yeah, I’ve been complaining about that lately. Damn, my life would be so good if I didn’t have so much money.
Then there was Marco Rubio. He said the country needs “more welders and less philosophers.” So obviously we need more English majors and fewer United States Senators.
And you know that whole thing about he’s-a-nice-guy-once-you-get-to-know-him? Not true for Jeb! Bush.
For the former Florida governor, 58 percent of Republican voters like him less after hearing more about him, compared with 32 percent who like him more.
Lastly, I watched Carly Fiorina last night. And they say Hillary has a likability problem? Holy cow. I think Fiorina has a I can’t stand to be in the same room with her problem. I would not leave my children or my grandmother alone with that woman.
There isn’t a one of them I wouldn’t want to have a bloody, disfiguring bar fight with.
1I’m stunned that Kasich is being the “adult” in the room. Please, he is as radical as they come. He wants to destroy Unions and when he sees your Retirement/Social Security fund, he dreams of how he can transfer all that money to his Billionaire friends, like he lost $600,000,000 from the Ohio teachers retirement fund.
2While on vacation, we would hire 8 feral cats to attend to our fish tank, before we’d hire Snarly Failurina.
This morning we saw a little bit of a T-Rump event in NH featuring his two “boys,” E-Reich and Hair Disaster, Jr. What a pair of goombahs! They stood off stage with all the warmth of paid bouncers on steroids.
The Klown Kar of 2012 has evolved into the Crazy Train of 2016.
Gentlemen and lady, HRC says thank you! Three years ago, had you asked if I would vote for HRC, you would have had to wait several minutes for an answer, while I contained my uncontrollable laughter and picked myself up off the ground. 3 months ago, I would have said something about carrying a barf bag and holding my nose in the voting booth. Today, I’m thinking “Grammy Clinton, I love you, please save all of us from those horrid snacilbupeR.”
As a Bernie supporters, we remain committed to doing what we can to have Senator Sanders be the Democratic nominee for President. But whoever becomes the Democratic nominee, our sincere wish is that the supporters from all sides and candidates unite to be damn sure another snacilbupeR Dubya is not elected.
3Yes, Donald Trump said our wages are too high and the lemmings in the audience are more than willing to follow him off that cliff. I will never understand why people vote against their own best interests.
4To Polite Kool Marxist, I like “Snacilbupers”! Who knew “republicans” backwards could sound so right?
Let’s always call them by a name that sounds like something that lives in a child’s closet and comes out at night. Mean as a snake, but fortunately often stupid.
Example: We better spray, I’ve noticed a lot of snacilbuper droppings lately.”
5PKM, I’m not crazy about HRC myself, but compared with any of the GOP….
Scary article in WashPost by someone who read Ben Carson’s books– the man thinks he has God on his speed-dial:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/book-party/wp/2015/11/05/ben-carson-the-humblebragging-instrument-of-god/
6TTPT, another WashPost article profiled a man in Kentucky who’s afraid he’ll die when his Obamacare health insurance is cut off. And he voted for the new Obamacare-killing governor of KY. Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?
7@coozledad: Slamming a barstool across the face of Ted Cruz… ah, a pleasant thought.
“Some people just need a high-five.
8“In the face.
“With a chair.
“Twice.”
And I’ll sit in my rocking chair on the edge of the fight and scream pleasantries and duck if it gets out of hand. Yayyyyy!
9@ Rhea:
I understand, under some circumstances, voting against your own self interest–voting for universal health insurance, say, even though covering many more people would require a tax increase. But voting for the guy who will cut off a program that’s keeping you alive? That’s just paying a very, very heavy stupid tax. That, I don’t get at all.
10Thank goodness I live in a state where more than 50% of the people recognized Fiorina as too mean and too incompetent to be elected to the local Sanitation District Board, let alone the Senate.
I keep in touch with some of my TX kin, partly out of respect for my late mama who loved them dearly even after they became deranged, and partly because it gives me a little window into people who would vote for Cruz or worse. Sample quote from one such relative recently: “Jimmy Carter should hurry up and die already. He’s an evil old man.” (Yes, she really did say that. In public. No, she has not been evaluated for fronto-temporal dementia so far as I know.) Have not asked her opinion of Fiorina; probably thinks Carly is too gentle.
11Well, Failurina may be as huggable as a barbwire scarecrow, but the others are no smarter than the post holding it up.
12Nefer, all the credit for “snacilbupeR” belongs to Micr.
😀 I’ll leave the education and womping of Daffy Cruz, Jr. to you good Texans. If granted one “get out of jail free card,” Lyin’ Ryan would be my target of choice. That is a face in need of having the smarmy smacked off of it.
13Oh, and Trump is now being asked his opinion on coffee cups. You think maybe people will start publishing his favorites in toothpaste, air freshener, corn chips, hair color? This whole GOP campaign feels like a street fight. I gotta go figure out why my cell phone won’t charge.
14O’Malley’s dog could bear these clowns.
15“beat.” I doubt the dog could “bear” anything about them.
16@Laurel, idly wondering how many people will be sorry when that relative you quoted dies, vs. how many for Jimmy Carter….
17T-Rump et al. might even be surprised to some extent about my experience at the local Starbucks this AM. Crowded and no one said BOO about the damn red cups! Ya know, its that old thing . . . a cup is just a cup and ya gotta be smart enough to know that.
18There’s probably a philosophy major’s website somewhere that documents all of Rubio’s errors in logic.
19Here’s a fun question that had us scratching our heads around Casa daChipster last night and “None of the Above” is not allowed: if you had to pick one of the candidates in either debate last night, which one would you trust to hold your wallet, and why?
20Will Roger’s never met any of these clowns
21daChipster, I’ll bite that bait. Let T-Rump hold my wallet; he’d be too busy after inspecting my credit cards and limited cash, calling me a “loser” to steal the wallet. However, I reserve the right to punch him senseless, if he says anything about the picture of my beautiful wife.
Second choice would be Governor Cartman aka The Outlaw Jersey Whale, but only if I could find a sufficiently large box of doughnuts to distract him while he holds the wallet.
22I only hope the electorate was listening to “our wages are too high.” This is what the Democrats should pounce on, the arrogance of these wealthy men deciding that the wages of working people are too high. Tell that to people who have to work 2 and 3 jobs just to break even.
And, sorry but I wouldn’t trust any of those liars to hold my purse. They don’t do that for little people, they have underlings to do that and god help the repug underlings, whose wages are “too high”.
23Unbelievable! The Bankruptcy King says wages are too high! Lets start with his first and see how he likes it! Bet he squeals worse than a stuck pig!
24Perhaps Trump was speaking from personal experience. Certainly his wages have been too high for decades.
25@Rhea, thanks for the link to the article on Mental Ben. Nothing humble about him.
26Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! This has to be one of my favorite comment sections Ever!
When those vile snacilbupeR make me angry and scared, this is the best ever place to come. I am grateful for your outrage, irreverence and especially, your snarky wit. I bow to your magnificence and thank you from the heart of my bottom.

“Sometimes a cup is just a cup.”
(With apologies to Sigmund specifically and psychoanalysts everywhere.)
28daChipster: If the rules say I can’t choose “none of the above” then I have nothing to say.
29Of course Trump says “our wages are too high.” He, himself, does not think of his earnings as a “wage.” Wages are those things the worker class makes. Trump earns via investments and business profits–not a wage…so wages are too high in America because they cut into the profits for men like him.
30There’s an old joke and the punchline goes, “What you mean “we” white man?” , just substitute “our” and never has this phrase been better suited.
31Rubio,as usual, is totally wrong what we really need is philosophers who can weld.The good skilled laborers used to come out of union apprentice programs, but the RWNJs have done their best to destroy unions and one of the first casualties is the apprenticeship programs.
