I certainly didn't intend for this to be taken in a negative connotation. I love DU..been around
for a long time....am a senior citizen who is just scared as hell about them stealing the election. Sorry if you all took it to mean you weren't capable or on top of things. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I usually don't even post.....sorry to offend.

we were just chasing the latest shiny object. Not so - we are having good fun over Trump's latest idiocy, but that doesn't mean we aren't concerned about the election. We most certainly are, but let's enjoy poking fun at the Donald as well.

from the announcement that his firm was fired? . . .


"The condominium board at Trump Place has quietly fired the Trump Organization from managing the pricey high rise on the Hudson River that bears its name (Trump Place)."

and taking a few minutes to have a much needed stress-relieving laugh won't pull us off task of watching out for signs of voter fraud. Or election fraud. Or stealing the election. Or whatever we're calling it these days. No matter.....we can laugh and chew gum at the same time. That's all Trump deserves out of his big announcement.....one huge collective laugh at his folly.

Trump Management got FIRED by his very own condo association, who voted to hire an outside management firm. Knowing The Donald's ego, he couldn't bear the humiliation, so he launched this bizarro distraction, a $5mil bet he knows he'll never have to pay.

Hair Helmet is using the same old birfer bullshit to distract us from looking at things like ... Mitt possibly about to be caught red-handed perjuring himself in court.
