Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

I thought Donald Trump running for president was a joke until last night my friend said her family was voting for him and I was so done. If he became president America would be dead. So at 3 in the morning my other friend and I lectured her about why trump would kill us all because he's a racist and sexist bastard

The only alternatives are hyper-militaristic theocracy (any of the especially religious candidates) or an utter kleptocracy with no social safety net (any of the establishment candidates) so... huh.

Trump isn't supported by pro-business establishment members. You can tell because he's advocating things that might actually help business in the long-term.

At no point was I speaking about members of the GOP in elected office. I was talking about the pro-business part of the GOP base whose entirety of thinking on Trump is "we need to run government like a business!" and "Trump is a rich successful businessman!"

New Iowa poll just released:

quote:

Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump has a significant lead in the race to win over likely Iowa caucus-goers, according to the first CNN/ORC poll in the state this cycle.

Trump tops the field with 22% and is the candidate seen as best able to handle top issues including the economy, illegal immigration and terrorism. He's most cited as the one with the best chance of winning the general election, and, by a wide margin, as the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson follows Trump in overall preference with 14%, bumping Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who had held the top spot in most recent public polling in Iowa, down to third place with 9%. Walker is nearly even with a slew of other candidates.

My favorite Trump quote, from right at the very start of his campaign, was when he was asked about ability to lead the military.

Given the choice between fascist, kleptocrat, and theocrat, I guess the fascist is probably gonna at least get the trains run on time, and not destroy the rails because they do abortions at the local clinic, or try to make a nickel for every dollar spent tearing them up while poor people go without trains

Yeah, proper old style fascist, none of this half assed evangelical weren't-the-fifties-great bullshit. Trumps gonna give us bread, circuses and the yooogest most luxurious TEN BILLION year American Empire you could every imagine. Every city will be rebuilt from the ground up, no man will want for work, no woman for healthcare, no child for education. Our food will be picked by the most chaste Mexicans we can source. Al Sharpton will condemn political correctness and, by the power bestowed upon him by the Blacks, will grant White permission to say 'friend of the family' in public.

Donald Trump will not be introducing Def Leppard at the Iowa State Fair.

According to the band's guitarist, Vivian Campbell, it is because they don't want to get involved in politics.

According to Donald Trump, the introduction was cancelled, due to security concerns related to El Chapo.

If it has to do with someone else, the answer is Trump. If it has to do with himself, the answer is most usually not Trump. This particular case involves both himself and someone else, so I'm going to say I don't know what the gently caress.
