Here are some questions to ponder on this Labor Day:

1. What is this obese megalomaniac's handicap? For all of his golfing you can bet your bottom dollar that he's no scratch golfer and if anyone tells me that his handicap is in single digits, I would refer you to the NK claim that their Fearless Leader scored three holes in one for the first three holes he ever played in his lifetime that would be reminiscent of this liar's claims.

2. Now speaking of lying, why is he so bad at it? Most politicians who lie, and that is most politicians, are actually really good at it. They are schooled in the parsing of words such that when examined, there's wiggle-out room if only just a thin crack in the door. Lying is an art form: doctors for example can be really adept at it. Here's an example: your sister/daughter/aunt goes to a fertility specialist and the doctor examines her and states, "I see no reason why you can't get pregnant." The patient and her partner practically jump for joy because they interpret that statement to mean "I'm just fine and won't have any problems." What the doctor meant is what he or she said: I don't see any reason why you don't get pregnant because I just don't know why you're not going to be able and haven't been able to this point. See the difference? It's all a matter of wishes and expectations. This orange gentleman, and I use the term "gentleman" VERY loosely, is so damned bad at lying that it is almost embarrassing to watch or listen to but he performs it in such volumes that it has become the norm for him. As an aside, you CAN bet your bottom dollar that when a Democrat runs in 2018 and 2020 they will be held to the highest standards of veracity because the MSM of course, "has learned their lesson" and won't let history repeat itself until the next Republican runs and wins. It's Lucy and the football each time with them.

3. Who was the writer of the DC Comics who created the Bizarro World? He should be given a Nobel Prize for prescience. Have you ever seen a less attractive, less gracious, less learned, less competent, less couth, less cultured, less educated, less verbal, less humanistic individual on the Public Stage? I haven't. On top of the fact that he makes rocky Balboa sound like Winston Churchill, he has not one iota of anything which would raise him above the evolutionary rank of a toaster or smudge pot. We used to call people like him "AZ"'s for "Absolute Zeroes" for that's what he is and there is zero molecular motion there with respect to any positive attribute.

Just a few thoughts...

something about Bizarro....

Bizarro is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Otto Binder and artist George Papp as a "mirror image" of Superman and first appeared in Superboy #68 (1958).

Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books (1956 - 1970), the character has often been portrayed as an antagonist to Superman, though on occasion he also takes on an anti-hero role, and appeared in both comic books and graphic novels as well as other DC Comics-related products such as animated and live-action television series, trading cards, toys, and video games..............and.......................................................................

Trump really does stand out as a very bad human...in many ways...Very few people could match up with him in terms of over all negative presence..

in that time frame were the classics "Superman Returns to Krypton" and the "Secret Origins" annual wherein many ofthe original DC comics that were the first stories were reprinted, like The (New) Flash, Green Lantern, Challengers of the Unknown, and a bunch of others.

A great era...

I came to the stage of accepting the facts a while ago. There are no more surprises to what he does. My response right now is to support Randy Bryce of Wisconsin who is running against Paul Ryan.

And I truly believe that Trump is a one term President, if even that much, who will have never done anything major that can't be reversed. Except having Gorsuch as Supreme Justice. And my hopes are that he'll turn out to be pretty much in the middle of the political spectrum.

I think Congress will stall and stall because they're afraid for their own chances in the mid term elections and then, if Trump is still President they'll be afraid of losing power.
