That’s always a plus.
Just pipe down, you two.
Sink my battleship?
Or fill my bingo card.
Meanwhile, in Oklahoma.
Jackson Lahmeyer, an Oklahoma megachurch minister who founded Pastors for Trump, has withdrawn from a runoff for a U.S. House seat from Oklahoma, following reports that he had sent romantic text messages to a woman who is not his wife.
Trump endorsed this clown a day before the primary. Then, surprising absolutely nobody, he switched his support to the other dude in the GOP primary after the news broke about the text messages.
My dear Frodo, you misspelled benighted.
And as a matter of principle, no dictatorship, not even yours, can be benign if it does not resolve the question of succession in a way that guarantees that the succession is forever benign too. Which nobody has managed yet. It is probably impossible.
How dare you impugn the benefits of my benign dictatorship? Guards! seize him!, I hope the Sarlacc is still hungry…
@Frodo , have you tried being immortal?
I’m trying it right now, so far it’s working, I haven’t died and have no plans of doing so.
I understand that the ring you are carrying can help with that. There may be other side effects though …
Heh, that could’ve been the fastest 40-post scroll ever. 
‘Live forever, or die trying!’ That’s my motto.
Heh, this is worthy of a Steven Wright one-liner. I can hear him in my mind saying “I’m trying to be immortal…so far it’s working” in that signature monotone.
To get back to the schadenfreude, the content of this article is pretty schadenfreude-y, but I post this mostly for the photo of trump at the G7. That has got to be the most half-hearted, defeated-looking fist pump ever. And the look on his face is that of an old, tired man, sick of the ride and wanting to get off. He is cooked and knows it.
You mean my precious?
It’s been called that before, but not by you.
Ah but with me is different
Citing the Holy Scriptures to me?
More good news today!
His falling popularity could weigh on his Republican allies when they defend their congressional majorities in the November 3 midterm elections. The Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that just 17% of independent registered voters said they would vote for the Republican in their district if the election were held today, compared with 34% who said they would pick the Democrat.
Not a good time to be a Republican up for election.
That’s only about half. What are the rest doing, being professional undecideds?
Again, remember that polls aren’t that reliable. They only reflect the views of whoever responded, and Hillary was projected to win in 2016.
