[The Donald and The Mind](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-ventura-2016-jesse-ventura-would-consider-it/) surely the universe doesn’t love me enough to make this Dream Team really happen. ---

Trump said nice things about Planned Parenthood. (Specifically, that the non-abortion stuff they do is good.) Of anything will cause his glean to tarnish, it’s having a nuanced view of, well anything the Far Right foams at the mouth about. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Well, of course! SA has always longed for the more polite era of the 50, when everyone was treated with so much respect and before darkies had to go ruin it by getting uppity. What he longs for is a country where people actually got educated, dressed and behaved like adults, where most families consisted of both a mother and father and kids were expected to behave and to do well at school, where hardly anyone knew anybody on drugs, where drive-by shootings and road rage weren’t even concepts, where criminals actually stayed in jail, and where such a huge proportion of the population didn’t need the government to provide for them. But what we have now results in more Democrat votes, so I expect turtles all the way down as to how far the quality of life in this country can descend. Your side has only two bullets in its gun to try to justify the millions of lost and ruined lives all this shit has resulted in, and they’re that racism and sexism are better. What you haven’t come close to doing is proving all this idiocy was required in order to accomplish them. And of course you couldn’t prove that darkie crap if you had a gun to your head. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > …where criminals actually stayed in jail… You’re about three decades too late with this complaint. The federal government abolished parole in 1984. Many states followed suit, or kept it but stopped granting it. At the same time, average sentences substantially increased, and we also invented thousands of new crimes. So, you already got your way. And the result of your preferred policies is that we now imprison roughly one in three black men in their lifetime. And then you have the balls to ask where all the fathers are, after having locked many of them up. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Jabs making fun of women in general are sexist; jabs against certain women for their behavior as individuals are not. Yeah, _especially_ when they’re on their period. :rolleyes: ---

So The Donald’s plan to deal with ISIS was to go in and take the oil wells. What the Chief of Staff of the Army’s take on it? [Gen. Ray Odierno: I disagree with Donald Trump on Iraq](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/08/12/gen-ray-odierno-i-disagree-with-donald-trump-on-iraq/) Oh please, please, please try whining and petty personal attacks in the media against Odierno. ---

_pfffffft._ If he was any kind of a general, he’d never have accepted the CoS appointment from a Democrat in the first place… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-omnibus-trump-pit-thread/725543.md?page=14)
