Trump has been engaged in a very public and damaging feud with the father of a Gold Star winning veteran who was killed in Iraq

FYI "gold star" isn't an award, it means that the family lost a member serving the country and could display a gold star on their service flag in lieu if the regular colored one.

And more importantly, Trump heavily implied that the mother was not allowed to speak by the father because ~islam~ and she responded in a written statement the obvious reason: it's still to painful for her to talk about it especially in a huge arena full of people. Then she dunks all over Trump some more and it's glorious.

Speaking with Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney, Donald Trump proposed spending “at least double” the $275 billion opponent Hillary Clinton has pledged to spend on American infrastructure, before suggesting that “we’ll get a fund” to pay for it.

“I would say at least double her numbers, and you’re going to really need more than that,” Trump said. “We have bridges that are falling down. I don’t know if you’ve seen the warning charts, but we have many, many bridges that are in dangers of falling, and-”

“Where does that money come from?” Varney interrupted. “If that’s the number you’re talking about, where do you get that money from?”

“We’re going to go out with a fund - we’ll get a fund,” Trump responded airily. “We’ll make a phenomenal deal with the low interest rates, and we’re going to have to rebuild our infrastructure. We have no choice.”

When twice asked who would put money into that fund, Trump suggested that “people, investors” would put money into the fund. “The citizens would put money into the fund. And we will rebuild our infrastructure with that fund and it will be a great investment and it’s going to put a lot of people to work.

Are you sure you weren't watching that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer talks about writing something off without knowing what a write-off is?

Sure, why not? How many people did Bush get to believe that Saddam was to blame for 9/11 without actually saying it?

To him merely complying with the law and spending some money on basic handicap access is a huge humanitarian undertaking.

The way to understand Trump is to think like an incredibly cheap rear end in a top hat.

It's mind-boggling because most of the time, designing a building to meet ADA requirements is not a big deal. It only becomes a pain in the rear end if you can't provide enough exits at grade and/or you're renovating an older building that's tight to begin with.

But Trump is Trump, so I won't be surprised if he starts trying to collect as many Purple Hearts as possible.

Trump enjoys playing Purpleheart GO between campaign stops.

The second mention of Friday has to be a joke referencing his own goof, right? Also I mean, let's be real, who doesn't sometimes forget what day it is? Especially considering the days of the week probably have little meaning to the candidates at this point.

Not trying to be a Trump defender but this seems like a pretty dumb thing to care about.

You're right, Trump is well known for self-deprecation.

Found it: https://evewho.com/pilot/The%20Mittani/

It's the night of November 8th and Hillary Clinton is projected to win by an astounding margin. Donald Trump walks up to the podium for his concession speech, leans into the mic, and whispers only one sentence.

"The Mittani sends his regards."

Do you really think Trump is going to concede at any point in this race and not try to drag out recounts and lawsuits blaming a "rigged" election for months after the fact?

Do you really think I think that Trump is a deep-cover spy for Goonswarm, noted CIA front organization?

Seriously though, I have no idea what Trump is going to do. Every media organization in America is going to say that Trump lost and Hillary won. It's going to be absolutely everywhere and it's not like all of the 35% or whatever of voters that he'll carry will believe it's some liberal conspiracy. He'll be desperate for supply on top of the absolute best poo poo he'd been getting on the campaign trail so maybe he just explodes.

Somehow Trump's "ban the Muslims" rhetoric wasn't a problem when he wrote the speech, but now it is. I wonder what changed.

Vir, Londo, and G'Kar are the best parts of that show, and by that I mean any scene of them on youtube is going to be quality (especially the one involving the elevator)

Londo and G'Kar in the elevator or Vir and G'Kar in the elevator? They're both great, in any case, for different reasons.
