No wait... this is hilarious...

From the interview transcript:

Trump: "I know that Lamar Alexander’s a fine man, and he is really in there to do good for the people."

Comment by Vox:
"Trump has no information about, interest in, or knowledge of the substance of the bill. Instead, he judges it entirely on the basis of his personal impressions of the legislators involved. Except while he vouches that Alexander is “a fine man,” he hasn’t bothered to get to know Murray at all, even though SHE’s the top Democrat on the committee with jurisdiction over health care and health care was his main legislative initiative for the first nine months of his administration."

On third thought... Vox' way of adding that light undertone, that definitely snorting-way of saying how it's like and casually correcting the Idiot in Chief, does make this a brilliant article.

I like Vox, but it is certainly left leaning and what you and I see as amusing mockery, the right tends to view as "liberal elitism"

This made me snort -- it has come to the point you feel the need to specify which dictator you mean.

Kimmy and his generals are hardly innocent, but the people starving under his rule, the defectors are hardly complicit in his crimes.



That's the thing, isn't it -- that NK would be the one to fire first, but if they do, they won't have the backing of China.
Kimmy is stir crazy but whether he's crazy enough to shoot one off -- I highly doubt it.

Agent Orange, in my opinion, is more likely to shoot first -- to deflect from one thing or another.



You wanted to flatten Pyongyang... that's plenty civilians who will die, wether by MOB or Nuke. But it would be naive to think Kimmy would be there to see it. You're still aiming your weapons at the people who have no choice in the matter.

When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.



^^ Indeed.



Flattening Pyonyang is not going after Kimmy. That's playing right into the moron's hands.



Full on 1930-protectionism, or more liberal?

Pros & Cons of Protectionism



For someone who claims to support US workers, you seem more than happy to let companies go belly-up who employ those same workers.



I have a quick solution to this -- DNA test. Who knows, maybe she does have black ancestory... *shrug*

well as I've said before...I'm no great fan of his and think the GOP could've ran someone a lot better than abloviating loudmouth with stage 5 "foot-in-mouth"-itis

Is Vox any different than buzzfeed? Not really a fan.

I'm a fan of mocking Trump. It's my favorite comedy

Vox tends to do more thorough research, and is not quite as left as buzzfeed.

Did ISIS declare itself a victim of sexual harrassment by Harvey Weinstein yet?

I thought they would have declared him as a weapon.

[Annoyed]

A WMD? (Weapon of Mass Defloweration)

"Not quite as" isn't exactly saying much though considering that we are talking about buzzfeed.

Did ISIS declare itself a victim of sexual harrassment by Harvey Weinstein yet?

Wouldn't they be more likely to claim responsibility?

[Falcon Horus]

Not entirely sure, he's useful...

And another nut job blows up.

Let me guess, we gotta ban truck rental now?

At least they got this guy alive, we can find out what set him off.
I still don't think they know what triggered 'Vegas.

I have grown fatigued with this.

With what have you grown fatigued with Mr Toodles?
