    I hope the GOP decides to fund Donny’s legal bills. More money for the lawyers means less money buying advertisements.

    What’s bad news for the GOP is good news for United States of America and its allies.

    I love that photo. It says so much. Trump is spewing more bullshit, while Melania treats it as a photo op. She’s keeping his orange, rumpled ass out of frame while showing off her ridiculously tall heels.

    Not just to GOP, but America as a whole. People like trump have a way of making his problems everyone’s problems

      Eh, I’d say that a problem for someone like Trump or the GOP who spend all their time trying to tear America down is a win for America.

      You correctly determined it’s an opinion piece. And you are mad?

        No just calling it out. Everyone would be doing so if it didn’t fit their options. I hate the man but that doesn’t mean I will stoop to name calling.

          When the article is full of facts and supported opinions, I think an ad hominem or two is ingorable.

            Na, that makes it worse. Why stoop when you don’t have to. It would have been a much better bit if they left out two sentences.

          I’m with you on that. I’d prefer a real article than some blog site (even if it tries to present itself as otherwise).

          As far as I can tell, the rules don’t prohibit blog posts unless they’re complete rags (rule 2). If you feel it violates that, report it and let the mods make the call.

      Ad hominem absolutely has a place in discussing one of the men up for election to represent our entire country to the rest of the world

        No it doesn’t. Ad hominem only serves to weaken the rhetoric of the person making the attack. What we are faced with is much much too dire to let poor rhetorical form take over. Ad Hominem is exactly what Trump does. We should strive to be better.

        Him being unable to get the money is true and not ad hominem. Attacking him personally of too much tanner is. It is the same name calling that he loves to do. That pisses everyone here off so much. We can’t just get upset when it is done by people we disagree with.
