I’m Just Saying
I was telling Verdelia, “This country could elect Donald Trump because they were distracted by a gorilla.”
Verdelia thought for a minute and replied, “But the opposite is true, too. This country could elect a gorilla to be president because they were distracted by a Donald Trump.”
And that is why Verdelia is the wisest woman I know.
Did you notice that we got a bit of a break from Drumpf due to the one who WAS the Greatest and Prettiest left us on Friday? Ali was one Muslim that Drumpf thought appropriate to like! Sheesh!!

I happened to read an article which stated that there is also a criminal case pending against Drumpf on a RICO charge regarding Trump University. I think it was in the NY Times.

“Make stupid people happy and you will be a success in life.”
Make stupid people afraid and you’ll win elections.
It’s worked for the GOP way too many times.
PS If the election were between Trump and a gorilla, I’d vote for the hairier and less dangerous one.
6“Synonym: an act on a perforated rolling pastry.”
I’m trying not to think about just what that means. I need brain bleach to combat the mental images that definition has conjured up.
7In Planet of the Apes, the leaders were all orangutans… Dr. Zaius, for one. Perhaps The Donald is a harbinger of things to come.
8Could never figure out why El Donaldo was so out of this orbit on all Muslims. He did know that Ali at that point was still alive and living among us, didn’t he? But I bet that if he did give any sort of homage to Ali his head would have exploded. Well, Karma will get ya no matter what. Ali has dominated in the news cycles and will continue to steal media space from Trump for some time now and ain’t that gonna mess with Trump’s game! Pardon me while I get the world’s smallest violin out of my first aid kit.
9@maryelle – There are two major cases against Trump University – “Lowe” and “Cohen”. Cohen was certified as a RICO class action by Judge Curiel in 2014 based on information submitted by the plaintiffs. There’s a lot you can find about this online.
