1. K & R. n/t

2. Off to the greatest page for you

Perfect - Rec n/t

20. Looks like you made it

I hope things weren't too bad.

[Siwsan]

3. He is a certifiable nightmare

I keep trying to wake up, but damn. The nightmare just continues.

[Botany]

4. The simple fact

“He is the most vulgar man I have ever met.”

[MADem]

5. The PICTURES~!!!!!!! They're HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

Trump’s delicate right hand is nearly crushed by his nine-year-old daughter Ivanka’s huge, burly mitt at a 1991 event.

[saltpoint]

6. I liked all of that piece, but the

first paragraph is really insightful.

[longship]

7. Brilliant!

Well worth a click through.

8. The reason his supporters don't abandon him

They are in love with money and white supremacy. But mostly they want to be super-rich and buy their way into the lives of the beautiful people. Never mind that the really rich people are "old money" with generations of ancestors, who have advanced degrees from the world's top universities, years being schooled in the cultured arts, facility in how to behave and what to say at elite dinner parties. Lots of money alone will only take you so far. But that's what the Trumpsters worship, the god of money. Acquisition of vast wealth, in their view, is the only prerequisite required. "Trump is a rich businessman" is their rationale for supporting him. Can you see the flaw in this reasoning? Money cannot buy happiness, peace of mind, and contentment.

21. Even poor white trash

want someone they can look down on.

[shadowmayor]

28. On a simpler level

STFU donny supporters hate the Democratic Party. Plain and simple, the same way some white folks can't stand black folks, and Eagles fans deplore Cowboy fans, many in the repuke party just flat out hate democrats who run for office. Any democrat.

9. Trump is mentally unstable.

I would not be shocked if on November 9th the story will not only be about the historic election of America's first woman president, but of how the republican loser was admitted overnight to a psychiatric ward. I do not say this is in jest. I think he will have a mental health event. He is a fragile man who will not be able to process the loss.

11. Failing makes one a loser - unless you're Trump...

[lillypaddle]

13. Excellent piece

[saidsimplesimon]

14. k&r pete and graydon carter

There are still real journalists willing to do a bit of investigative work. I am grateful for the many who have and will continue to do so.

Carter's personal interactions with rump confirms what voters should already know. It is so sad to hear the chant, "we just don't care", from the lost souls on the train heading over the cliff. Change is good, but when suicidal behaviour manifests itself in society, we must all be concerned.

15. Republican Party, people!

This is not just Trump. This is the Republican Party candidate. These brilliant politicos have put up this candidate for election and are getting away with it.

The whole world is watching

[gvstn]

16. I love the tiny fingers jibe. It cracks me up every time.

It is such a non-mean way of putting the Trump down. Tee hee, hee!

[lunatica]

17. I always suspected the rich of New York don't like Trump

This article kind of makes me right.

[underahedgerow]

18. It's a great read, one of the best written by far... I LOVE his attacks and needling on the tiny

fingers of trump...

[NastyRiffraff]

19. He really DOES have "tiny, tiny fingers"

Those pictures showed them in all their petite glory. Great piece by Graydon Carter.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Trump deposited a check for 13 cents.

[ColemanMaskell]

27. Yeah apparently -- I'd have liked to see more follow-up information on that

[Wednesdays]

23. Well.

That will leave a mark.

[MatthewHaines13]

24. Kick

Trump is a menace to this country and the world. And his hair is a mess.

[hopeforchange2008]

25. The slideshow at the end of the article is priceless!!

The donald is not going to be happy. Cue Tweetstorm!!

[forest444]

26. Country club Rethugs and their talking head allies like to think it'll be different in 2020.

That the GOP will nominate a "traditional" conservative (i.e. a wolf in sheep's clothing).

But now that it's had a taste of power, the base will only double down. Trump will probably look like a moderate compared to their 2020 nominee.

[stage left]

29. I love the phrase

Short fingered vulgarian.

[Grins]

30. Whoa!!! The beauty of that snip does not compare....

...to the other horrors in that story. If you haven't opened the link and read the full article - do it!
