Oh look. Trump laid another dozen eggs

By HEATHER MALLICK
Mon., Feb. 6, 2017

... don’t tone it down, as two male columnists have just advised me, unasked. Fight back but wisely, don’t thrash about as Trump does.

The bright side of Trump is that I like human beings much more than I did on Jan. 19. Almost all his detractors seem delightful to me now in comparison to him and his more violent voters ...

The barbarians are inside the gate. In 2008 I watched Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin speak at the Republican convention and knew that something dreadful was approaching. Who are these people? Don’t let them in, I thought ...

In the meantime, let’s search for and rescue refugees from Ghana who have fled the U.S. to walk across the frozen wasteland of the Manitoba border. If you think we should let them die the same way Mexicans die of heat and thirst on the American border bonelands, you aren’t a Canadian. I’m from Kapuskasing, where it’s -32C with the wind chill.

Too tired from staying up all night? The ONLY good thing about this fiasco is that the gop OWNS it, and every disaster that will surely come with President Bannon in charge, and Vladimir's help.

Trump milking it. But I could be wrong. I'll pay closer attention next time there is an opportunity to see this, preferably not right after I've eaten.

6. A self-important bastard, not unlike the kind one sometimes sees at work of in daily life.

He won (or rather, came as close to legitimately winning as he did) because let's face it: he's an aspirational figure to all the other rubes and louts.

8. Yes, Palin was a harbinger of things to come. Until Trump, I didn't think anyone worse could get in.

The question is: has the GOP NOW hit rock bottom? Or is something worse than Trump waiting in the batter's box?
