What an unpleasant person.

The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

McCabe replied: “OK, sir.” Trump then hung up the phone.

Even assuming this was true--

The proper term is "Confederacy."

Yeah, I had a feeling that was wrong, but I was too sleepy to realize.

As a practice, it's wise. Those who have a better grasp about what words actually mean and use them truly and genuinely should be trusted more to use them correctly.

Like the proper use of the words "confederation" and "confederacy?"

New York values are back, this time with Democratic senator Manchin and New York talk:

But Joe Manchin is the one they Love to focus on because he's a Democrat. That's all that matters in some circles. We need to get him out of office. Paula Jean 2018.

If you're going to walk like a duck and quack like a duck, don't get all pissy when someone calls you one.

That might work if all ducks quacked like ducks.

In fact, hardly any ducks produce the characteristic 'quacking' sound we've come to associate with them. The most common UK duck, the mallard, does quack, but other breeds croak, squeak, whistle, or remain mute.

Allow me to suggest that some species of liberals-- I'll call them Ultraliberalis Fanaticalis-- can't distinguish between one duck-sound and another. If it isn't what they want to hear, it's the sound of the enemy.

See, he is telling "it" like his racist, sexist, transphobic, sharkphobic mind is. Not how the world is.

Trump is sharkphobic?

"Although I have taken the form of Dalak, I am all posters as I am no posters, and so, I am a Mod."

Trump is sharkphobic?

Yes. He told Stormy Daniels that he would never donate to a charity that protects sharks and that he wishes all sharks would die.

Another Trump supporter accused of being a predator:

Given the touted politics of Harvey Weinstein, I don't think Baio's politics are particularly relevant here.

Shark charities have been flooded with donations after it was revealed in Stormy Daniels' interview that Trump said he hopes sharks die

I don't think Scott Baio is particularly relevant anywhere. He hasn't been relevant in decades.

[ouroboros]

Gene, WBE and I are not the same poster.

And WBE spoke in the plural. I interpreted that as "everyone who shares the correct political beliefs." It doesn't matter what specifics separate the two of you; you've both argued for this form of political correctness.

He was the biggest celebrity at the GOP convention, no?
