If either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump become president, the next Mad Max will not be a film but reality! Mad Ted and Mad Donald more than Max in fact! Cruz and Trump seem to be mentally unstable and the world already has had enough deranged individuals in charge of governments and religions already. But a deranged individual in charge of a superpower would be a whole different matter.

I mentioned this in another thread, any time I am reminded of Trump all I can think about is the episode of The Simpsons when Homer becomes in charge of waste collection by making loads of stupid promises and then everything goes to ****.

At least Homer had a better environmental policy than Trump. :pac:

I feel obliged to mention Greg Stillson's campaign promise to clean up pollution by gathering it all up in Hefty bags and launching it into space.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you have plans for later on?

If so, cancel them, for Sarah Palin will be interviewing Donald Trump:

WTH, LAMESTREAM MEDIA! STAY OUT OF MY BIBLE

WTH? Lamestream media asks GOP personal, spiritual "gotchas" that they'd NEVER ask Hillary, or they'd feed the question to her and/or liberal cohorts before they asked it on-air (we know how these things work, lapdog media... the public's on to you), so good on Trump for screwing with the reporter. By the way, even with my reading scripture everyday I wouldn't want to answer the guy's question either... it's none of his business; it IS personal; what the heck does it have to do with serving as commander-in-chief; and these reporters trying to trip up conservatives can go pound sand until they ask the same things of their favored liberal pals. I'll cover this in my interview with Donald Trump and other candidates tonight on the One America News Network show "On Point." The more the media does this, the more they empower America to reject them and their bias as voters run to the anti-status quo candidates daring to Go Rogue.

Ok, so it [religion] is personal when she wants it to be, or when nasty people are asking difficult questions, but it is not personal when she is pandering to the religious voting block or trying to impose her religiously derived system of 'morality' on everyone, including those that don't share her particular religious viewpoint. Got it.

Trump is probably one of the major causal factors for the depletion of the ozone layer because only the industrial application of hairspray could make that ridiculous comb-forward stay in place.

Without the hairspray his hairstyle would be more like that of Bill Bailey

The New Yorker spends a day inside Glenn Beck’s America - it's a dark, lonely place.

If Beck raises ten million dollars by Christmas, he says, he will rescue four hundred families—a number pulled from the “four hundred years of silence” that separate the Old Testament and the New—from ISIS, by bringing them to the United States, or, failing State Department approval, to Mexico, in which case he will personally march them across the border into the United States (“a new Selma”).

I don't agree with Beck's politics, nor his bible thumping. I especially dislike his constant godwinning of the various debates on which he has loudly weighed in. However, if he is sincere in the above & if he manages to achieve even a fraction of it & is able to alleviate in some way the plight of those currently suffering because of ISIS then he will deserve some credit. He certainly strikes me as being a more decent & humanitarian person than some others in the American conservative camp such as Donald Trump, although admittedly that's setting the bar pretty low.

A little late in with this one, but last year, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Republican from Texas, reminds everybody that "God wrote the Constitution":

Follow-up - well, yes, it seems that there are just some things that a Tea Partier just shouldn't do:

Jon Rosenberg's coverage continues:

You really need to be a regular reader to understand why his debate opponent is a deer in a business suit with a dead owl in tow, but given the current state of the Republican race, I'd say he's in with a decent shot.

Custardpi · 16-09-2015 10:19am

Trump has completely wrongfooted the Washington commentariot. Every time he says something outrageous they predict the demise of his campaign yet he keeps on going. Conventional wisdom about what a candidate should & shouldn't do is being turned on its head. In other news Sanders is catching up on Clinton in Democratic polls & has actually gone ahead of her in a couple of state polls. Could we see Trump vs Sanders in the end? That would be an interesting (if potentially mental) debate to watch.

"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Brain surgeons, long burdened with the onerous reputation of being among the smartest people in the world, are expressing relief that the Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson is shattering that stereotype once and for all.
In interviews with brain surgeons across the country, the doctors revealed the enormous pressure they felt to live up to their profession’s inflated renown for intelligence before Carson entered the race."
