When Donald Trump got walloped last night in Wisconsin, he issued this statement:
Donald J. Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again.
Whoa, Dude. The establishment is now 35%?
That wasn’t an onslaught. That was a boy scout troop.
Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Seriously, I don’t know which is more laughable. Trump’s reaction to the a$$whipping in the Cheese State or the new name for George Mason University’s law school:
1Antonin Scalia School of Law now making its social media debut as A$$Law. Kind of a great giggly way to wake up on Hump Morning!
@Maggie: A$$Law is great, so perfect. made my morning.
Trump may be a buffoon, but at least you know where he’s coming from and what, if any, his plans are even if they would never succeed. I think Cruz and Kasich are worse candidates and more evil than Trump is, hard as that is to believe.
2Unless you’re The Queen, referring to yourself in the third person makes you look like a self absorbed gilded turnip.
3He appears to have taken lessons in losing from Marco Rubio, but Marco had more charm.
4Referring to yourself in third person is a symptom of narcissism.
5Occasionally one is required to write a third-person bio of oneself for some reason. It’s happened to me. It feels really weird to write it, though it doesn’t look too bad when it appears in the program booklet alongside all the other self-written third-person bios. Now if I habitually referred to myself that way (or as “one”) it might be a symptom of narcissism but when the organization involved says “A 50-100 word bio in the third person…” I feel obliged to do it.
Trump, though. Narcissism isn’t a big enough word to fit around that swelled head. Continental narcissism isn’t enough. Global or planetary narcissism might not be enough. Galactic narcissism might just do it.
6AKLynne – Don Rickles has more charm than Drumpf. Just sayin’
7I understand the law school was originally to be ASSoL, which is way fun to pronounce, but now that they’ve changed it, I’m pretty sure the correct initialism should be A$L$, especially since I understand that the $$$ came from the Koch$.
8Wouldn’t surprise me if some people still refer to it as ASSoL, which seems much more apt as well as being a good easy-to-pronounce acronym.
You can tell politics in Northern Ireland by whether someone calls their second-largest city Derry or Londonderry. Around here it’s whether the airport next to the Potomac is Reagan or National. Guess which way I go. Though I admit I still call the other one BWI rather than “Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington Airport,” however much respect I have for that man. Nobody calls it Marshall and I don’t have time for the whole thing.
9@glf:
10I agree! I want Trump to win. The others are truly too scary to contemplate!!
Clarification!! Trump to win the nomination, not the election!
11Anybody who willingly chooses to attend A$$Law deserves the tag and The Chump thinks of himself in terms of the royal “we”, so he is actually humbling himself by stepping down to the third person. Wonder what it will be after Cleveland?
12Speaking of unfortunate (yet hilarious) acronyms, back in the mid 1970s a group of conservatives in the Presbyterian church banded together to oppose the gay liberation movement. The poor innocents proudly named their coalition Presbyterians United for Biblical Concerns, or P.U.B.C.
As always, slipstream is far too dignified to offer a comment.
13We who are about to die salute you.
14Trump didn’t withstand anything. As he himself would say about anyone else in his situation:
35%? 2nd place? That guy’s a loser.
15Colorado once upon a time had Colorado Rules of Appellate Procedure, cited as CRAP. The changed it.
16It is possible that tRump will be the nacilbupeR nominee for POTUS in November, 2016. For all practical purposes the November presidential elections are two horse races. (Yeah I know about 3rd, 4th even 5th candidates, but c’mon!)
Someone close to tRump should explain how this all works. The winner will become the defacto leader of the free world in January, 2017. The loser will become the surprise answer on a Trivial Pursuit card.
17There’s a quirky little used furniture store in St. Paul, MN. The guy who runs it is great fun. The first letter of every word on his sign is highlighted. The sign reads “Classic Retro At Pete’s.” I love Pete.
In the late 70s an 8th grader in my civics class (Yes, they still existed then.) wrote a 2 page paper on the importance of open meetings. Her topic required frequent use of the word “public”, but Donna repeated the same spelling error every time she wrote it. Thus, meetings took place in a “pubic ” place. Members of the “pubic” were allowed to attend each meeting. And the ultimate authority in civic government was the voting “pubic!”
The latter is my favorite, though I’ve never seen a Voting Pubic. Because the word ‘voting’ is in the phrase snacilbupeR would certainly be opposed, then madly chagrined when an intelligent person explained what it really said.
18@Rhea: here in the Houston area, I refuse to refer to our big airport as Bush Airport. As far as I’m concerned, it will always be Intercontinental Airport.
19Not quite on topic but my favorite mistaken but appropriate acronym remains CREEP. Committee to Re-Elect the President — Nixon for you youngsters.
20My acronym can’t beat CREEP, but it’s apt. The summer teen workers down the shore at Stone Harbor NJ who were working for the city sanitation department got shirts made up: Stone Harbor Island Trash. They were told not to wear them a second time.
