And stumpy IS old.

Yep, the average age for diagnosis is over 65, and he's, what...70?

Forgot to ping you, @sitetest.

I certainly hope not!  You aren't showing signs of Alzheimer's, are you?  Trump might be, though.

No signs here. (Not even a placard.)

As for Donaldus Minimus, wasn't he showing about eight years ago? ;)

Good, I'm glad to hear that.   ^-^

I've always made it a practice to not pay attention to Trump, but that might very well be the case, lol.

If his campaign is the Titanic, he's been his own iceberg.

@EasyAce, we always expected this would happen; I'm just surprised it took so long.

I'm finding it all very fascinating.

Haven't people always been fascinated by disaster? ;)

Ha Ha, Suckers, Part II: Trump Says He Never Meant Orlando Clubgoers Should Have Had Guns


BY: BEN SHAPIRO JUNE 20, 2016

Remember that time Donald Trump said at a campaign rally that he would save the Second Amendment?

Somebody should make sure he knows which amendment that is.


Last week, Trump said that he wanted to prevent people on the terror watch list from obtaining weapons without any show of evidence, in direct contravention of the National Rifle Association position on guns.

This week, he’s now saying that didn’t really mean that clubgoers at Pulse should have had guns at all to protect themselves from terrorists. He just meant security should have been armed.

This is false. Here’s what Trump said last week:

"If we had people with bullets going the opposite direction right smack between the eyes of this maniac – if some of those wonderful people had guns strapped right here, right to their waist or right to their ankle, and this son of a bitch comes out and starts shooting – and one of the people in that room happened to have it and goes “boom, boom,” you know what, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks. That would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight."


Now he’s tweeting:

 Follow
 Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

When I said that if, within the Orlando club, you had some people with guns, I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees

No, he wasn’t, obviously.

But who cares? Reality morphs around Donald Trump to take on strange and fascinating new aspects! You thought he said something two days ago simply because he said it. But it wasn’t so. He never said it. And anyone who says he did say it is a hater and a loser.

Here’s the reality: sober people at Pulse should have had guns if they were able to carry by law. Trump could have said that. But he didn’t, because that would be intelligent. So instead he reversed himself. And he’ll reverse himself again when he hears about the blowback. But none of those will have been his real position until he declares it so.

Well, obviously.....he lies and BSes so much and so often.....that he can't keep his BS/lies straight from one day to the next.  Yet another thing that he and Hillary have in common.

HAhahaha!   Now that is some strenuous exercise program right there.   He might want to get a doctor's ok for that workout!

Kudos to Geronl for that witty observation....

Trump Daily Schedule includes 2 hours of "walking back what was said yesterday" right after breakfast

I see a tough few months for you as you twist yourself into strange contortions defending every flip flop and ignorant statements coming from the Don's mouth.

This is typical of the Don. Deny you said what you said even though your words are there for all to see.

Hi, @Gov Bean Counter!  I think I remember you bringing it up over there.  What was the response---flying spit, lol?

When I brought it up over there a few times it eventually got me a temporary posting ban.

My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago and to be honest I really haven't noticed anything.  They have medicine now that slows it down and apparently it works pretty well (at least with him).  He's 82.

And here's hoping it's slowed down for the rest of your father's life!

[Mechanicos]

Wrong again, as usual. I used to work in security.

Deterrence is a huge friend of security personnel, and an ankle holster doesn't help that.  The only time I wore just the ankle was for a high-class wedding reception, where they didn't want it obvious there was a security detail.

But you're right...an ignorant man like Trump might not realize such things.

The people I knew who worked as private security for a US Senate Candidate all wore at least 2 concealed firearms. It was SOP for all of such security people to do that with variations for personal weapons.Same with the security guys at pretty much every large bar I knew. It makes sense in gang infested territory especially if there is a gov imposed limit on magazine capacity. Trump carries concealed, odds are he has more then one...

"right to their waist or right to their ankle" (emphasis added)

That implies either/or in everyday English.  What official club security just has one strapped to the ankle?  Rare. 

He was talking about patrons.

LOL, it figures.  BTW, I'm glad the medicines are helping your father.
