1. It showed

[wcmagumba]

2. She has a bigley type education...

Drumph<Moran...

[DK504]

9. No wonder he hates her.

[gopiscrap]

3. OMG how embarrassing

[samnsara]

4. we did NOT send our best or the brightest! .....

...that meeting should have been with Madam President!

[iluvtennis]

5. Yep, he's a stone cold idiot. And the really appalling thing is he shows no intellectual curiosity

[Alice11111]

6. He was so clearly threatened, he refused her hand shake.

Stupid, rude, conman asshole. This is our representative to the world.

Please let her be reelected.

[iluvtennis]

7. Agree +100 nt

[NewJeffCT]

11. Agree - he's threatened, but a lot of his cult of followers

will think he's being a tough guy for blowing her off like that.

[Alice11111]

16. Yeah, playing to the cult. He wants to destroy the EU.

She's the leader. She is Everything he is not. He wants to destroy her. Putting her by his daughter, when she shows up with world business executives.
Putin's puppet. He probably got a pat on the head from Putin.

29. Great article. Thx. I was always for the TPP. Only Obama

really understood it. There was this isolationist wave to get out of all partnerships. Staying out of the TPP won't bring back rustbelt jobs. It will probably make things worse as we lose trading partners. It was a sphere of influence. China is so right. Now, they will probably join the TPP. How ironic.

Democracy is the EU, Canada, Scandanavia, and a few others. I don't want to live in a dictatorship of the Proletariat, which is a joke anyway, as they produce billionaires who abuse the system, and imprison those who resist. However, it is China's moment to be proud, and ours to feel shamed.

12. That was low-class and obnoxious

[Alice11111]

14. Low class, he is. Gilded low class.

[smirkymonkey]

8. He's so out of his league in every way.

And he knows it. That's why he was sulking like a three year old who had been sitting in soiled nappies for five days.

[Old Terp]

10. I guess that maybe by being so beneath contempt, he plays to his base

He never made it with the New York elite. Money could never cover how crass, uneducated, and just unfamiliar with decent behavior he was. He has no class. He's total slime,

[Alice11111]

17. That's why he got elected...trumpsters love that.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Poor Angela

It's bad enough she probably Misses Dubya's weird backrubs.

[BainsBane]

15. Angela. Nt

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Annn-gela

You're right, though, that was a brain fart. No excuses. What can I say? Even I am not perfect, shocking as it may be.

[BainsBane]

19. It's so rare you even make a typo

because of that it stood out.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Im multitaskin'!

I probably had Andrea Mitchell in my head for some reason. Derp.

[BainsBane]

22. Most of mine happen on my IPad

a bit ago it autocorrected can't to Xantech. It wants to write the most bizarre things.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Seriously.

I'm exercising and posting from the ipad now, so thats my excuse.

I think i tried to post to DU once, from my phone- it didnt end well.

[BainsBane]

37. I jinxed myself writing this

Today I dropped my IPad and badly cracked the screen.

[Warren DeMontague]

38. Eeeeee! Oh no!

That sucks, Bain. Sorry to hear it.

when my wife upgraded her ipad last year I got her one of these for it because... kids-

[BainsBane]

39. I ordered this but it doesn't fit

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M31ND67/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For some reason the one you linked to didn't come up in my search. I like that it has a screen protector.

[Warren DeMontague]

41. Yeah, I think it's Unicorn Beetle or Supcase or Supcase Unicorn Beetle--

not sure how I found it originally, I think I was looking for the equivalent of the lifeproof case I've got on my iphone, which in theory will save it from being both run through the laundry OR dropped in the toilet, two moves I'm more than capable of pulling off.. those are expensive, though, and I don't know if they even make them for ipads.

That thing worked great and the screen protector didn't seem to interfere with the usage at all; she had to take it off recently b/c she decided she needed something with a separate bluetooth keyboard for the thing, but the good news there was that it wasn't hard to remove, either, and the screen protector wasn't the kind that actually sticks to the screen.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

40. Every once in a while my boyfriend pulls the covers off my iPad or phone (jumbo note 3)

And I say "wow so that's what they look like. They are so tiny and thin"

I'm not allowed to touch anything before it is fully encased in plastic and shock absorbing cases.

I am allowed on the furniture though.

[Warren DeMontague]

42. That's me, too.

I keep my phone in one of those lifeproof cases. It's like brand new in there, though.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. I did not know she has a PhD in quantum chemistry

I knew that she is smart, tho.

[groundloop]

26. I could have used her help in college, quantum kicked my ass

Damn what a contrast, a truly intelligent stateswoman and 45* .

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Me, too.

I thought i was clever b/c i had read gell-mann, Feynman, and the tao te ching.

Those equations, though...

[IcyPeas]

24. Angela Merkel's husband is a quantum chemist too....

I'd say they are a pretty smart couple. Donald and Melania?.................

She has a very interesting bio on wikipedia.

[democratisphere]

28. It's the difference between a lot of grey and white matter versus

NO matter at all.

[eppur_se_muova]

34. Nah, Trump is all brown matter. nt

[Doreen]

30. All I have been doing today is laughing at

the repulsed look on her face. Oh, yes, the surprised and disgusted look on her face when he said he had something in common with her.

[MFM008]

31. there was only one mind

at that meeting..............

[highplainsdem]

33. True.

[Alice11111]

32. She has done so much in her lifetime. It amazes me.

In spite of her great intelligence, like Obama, both intellectual and emotional, she will always be remembered for her heart. What could be better.

[Upthevibe]

35. I think I'm enraged that he didn't shake her hand. I mean the sheer disrespect!!! WTF?!?!? n/t

[Alice11111]

44. Only a lowlife brut would lack such manners, much less

Someone who is supposed to representing a nation as a statesmen, even if he doesn't particularly like her.
World newspapers, of course, carried it. What an embarrassing fragment he is?

[NastyRiffraff]

36. We, too, could have had an intelligent woman in that meeting

Hillary Clinton isn't a scientist, but she's wicked smart. She should have been there as Madam President. I think she and Merkel would have gotten along fine.

[Alice11111]

43. Yes, they could have advanced the free world
