47. Trump is telling the Truth
Fri Oct 7, 2016, 10:03 PM
Oct 2016

The Trump truth is loaded with a lot of pride.

What we didn’t hear is that Trump is pure fiction.

The mainstream media are such complimentary asshats as illustrated by everyone from Charlie Rose across to the major cable channels as CNN, MSNBC, and FOX, and basic newspapers are in line to shove their heads up his ass for a refreshing clean sent of pure fiction to continue to mismatch and confuse the public.

The only talk show host capable to moderate the next debate is Bill Mahar, yet Bill is so far left he is on the right fringe.

Maher points out the significant dysfunctional American politics that is to associate Hillary in all efforts to make health care for everyone as disliked as Trump is illustrative of the hackneyed character of our moneyed rich, those rich insane as Trump.

It’s a me, me my turn next please, let me have my turn to shove my head up the Trump ass hole. Or, considering its so refreshing it appears the media wants seconds.

In my life time never would to expect a person like Trump to be able to scale to such a prominent position as my president. That would be the greatest thing to happen to me and the most disappointing, no the most horrible. This is the most disgusting media supported presidential election in history. The media has lost my confidence, Trump should have been drummed of the air and humiliated a long time ago.

Elephants talk to each other over many miles, live as families, mourn their dead, and they can think
and reason too.

BTW you want to hunt big game? The White Tailed Deer population needs controlled and you can donate
the meat to the needy too.

The poor fools who follow Tinyhands have no idea what he thinks of them.

The odd way art is that from what I read in Trumpology: A Master Class his father just sort of used him as a conduit at the beginning. On his own Trump has not been very successful, or wasn't until he took himself out of the picture and just sold his name.

He told his kid "Everthing I say is true. This statement is a lie."

You don't send a 4 year old to school, junior. You don't worry about the 4 year old falling in with the wrong crowd, or smoking, drinking, and doing drugs. And your little life story shows you ARE a loser, just like your old man. I mean, it's deeply touching and moving and all, really humanizes your dad to the rest of the world, offers us a great insight into his genius in both business and parenting terms, etc. But in the end, your garbled lie of a story shows you're a loser flim-flam man who spins lame, lying stories. Just like poppa dRumfenfuhrer. A real chip off the block.

Incidentally, one of my favorite conversation starters with little kids is this: when I'm interacting with any kid relative of mine, who is just in the early stages of talking and thinking, I like to ask them "Hey, do you know what?"

It's interesting to watch the gears turning in their minds from the expression on their faces, when they know I'm asking them a standard form question, but don't know "what" it is. They've got well developed cognitive processes, that haven't translated over to vernacular speech yet. They try to bring all their experienced memory and knowledge and conversational interactions to bear, and display a combination of highly mobilized intellectual pondering and confused suppositional rejection, that alternates from moment to moment. Their faces offer a fascinating and edifying show.

None of them ever get hurt or mad at me for it, though it is a bit rotten. But it's not daddy drump level rotten.

Sometimes, some of the precocious little s.o.b.s will just say "What?", and blow the whole show out of the water. My fallback position is to say "Oh, you know that one", and leave the conversation at that.

Hey, did you ever find out from your uncle about that ersatz Beto's pizza joint (Bado's) that moved in up Banksville Rd.? I'll never go there, but wondered what the family's take on it was.

but I checked their website (http://betosoriginalpizza.com/) and the one that moved to Banksville Rd is the one I know about. We absolutely loved it. As you may know, they put the cheese on after it comes out of the oven. It melts to the point of perfection on the way home. It is very different, but worth a try. Note: do NOT order extra cheese. Their normal cheese is at least double every body else's extra cheese. Oh, and since you are from Pittsburgh (if I remember correctly), it is ordered by the cut

The issue is, that the expanded Beto's is still on Banksville, and another outfit called Bado's moved in up the road, and advertises with a giant pizza billboard down the road from Betos.

I've gotten take out from Beto's several times since then, and they're packing them in more than ever. It was just that somebody obviously seems to be trying to cut in on the action, in the sleaziest way possible.

the Bado's, I believe, is the imposter. My uncle has never been to it- he is happy with the original. Being in his 70's, they don't do take out often, and they limit it to Beto's and Primanti Brothers.

Maybe I'm confused. I thought you were related to the Beto's proprietors. My mistake.

Primanti's has gone wayyy downhill, since the old days. The ownership changed, they're big into media hype, and they halved the amount of meat on their standard sandwiches. It isn't the meal it was.

Like making your own double stuff oreos back in the old days. The meat is like the oreo icing.

You'll have a lot of extra slaw and fries, but you'll get close to the original Primanti's sandwich, that way. A bit pricey, but there you have it.
