To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Day before steel and aluminum tariffs are set to go into effect, Trump exempts the EU, Argentina, Australia, Brazil and South Korea.

So what really is the point of the tariffs if you're going to exempt everyone you buy steel from anyways?

This is ridiculous  :lol:

Wants to play tough guy in trade, ends up backtracking two weeks later. So it's just China now?

Better than a trade war.

QuoteWhile campaigning for Hillary Clinton, Mr Biden said he wished he "could take [Mr Trump] behind the gym" in regard to the emergence of a lewd video in which the President-elect talked about sexually assaulting women.

"What he said he did and does is a textbook definition of sexual assault," Mr Biden said.

"No, I wish we were in high school. I could take him behind the gym. That's what I wish."

Doesn't make it much better.  Both guys are crazy jackasses and ought to retire from public life.

QuoteTrump's advice to younger self: 'Don't run for president'

President Trump said Thursday he would tell his younger self not to run for president.

"Don't run for president," Trump quipped when asked at a youth forum what advice he would have given his 25-year-old self.

Trump said he was much more widely loved during his career as a businessman and reality TV star.

"I got the greatest publicity. I was getting such great — until I ran for office," he said.

At the same time, he said the level of support as president is higher than the 40 percent he gets in job-approval polls.

"People really do get it, there is a lot of fake news out there," he said. "Nobody had any idea. I'm actually proud of the fact I exposed it to a large extent. It's an achievement."
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I'm shocked that Trump thinks that's the main and only reason to be president.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I nominate this as the dumbest thing Donald has ever said.

Putting them even on the same plane is only possible in the realm of the insane/trump apologists.

The two statements are on the same plane. Granted, Trump has made far worse.

They're in the same area code, not on the same plane.
