One upside of Palin. Watching Kellyanne Conway, Scottie Nells Hughes and the other Trump spokesidiots try to explain the word [del]salad[/del] blender meal she spews.
Trump or Palin?
Firing squad or gas chamber?
Tough choices.
And – [/Thread]
Yes, that would end the thread.
Yes. Absolutely no question about it.
Either one would be a laughingstock. In either case the best you could hope for is for right-wing filth to run the country while the nominal Potus snoozes. Palin might be polishing herself for a mere million-dollar celebrity job while Trump tries to pilfer billions of dollars, but the loss of a few extra billions of taxpayer money is irrelevant in tragedies of this scope.
The big disadvantage of Trump stems from his arrogance, insecurities and sociopathy. There is a real danger that Vladimir Putin or some other dictator(s) will gull him into acting against the West’s interests on the world stage. Even worse, he may awaken to his blunders, over-correct and precipitate a major war. Some Americans think of the Trump Presidency as a relatively harmless experiment — after 4 years America will come to its senses — but the downside risk is much MUCH greater than that.
Perhaps he is “tougher” in some sense: Saddam, Putin, etc. were/are very tough. I think your final sentence sums up best.
Palin would be the puppet of the republican congress, whereas Trump would be a co-conspirator most of the time but not an absolute puppet.
As imbecilic and hateful as the republican congress is, it is not as dangerous as Trump.
Wow, for a board that’s full of the smartest and hippest people on the planet there sure are a lot of stupids. Human and dinosaurs did and do co-exist. Ever heard of a thing called birds? Evolution, look it up sometime.
A thousand times this.
Palin is at least a politician, and for all her weaknesses appears to have some degree of interest in improving the lot of her constituents. Trump has no interest at all in helping people or making things better.
Palin is a doofus, but she’s grow into the job and understand where she needed to get advice. Trump is a dangerous fool who might start a nuclear war.
Before you try to understand evolution, you should practice with a simple dictionary. If you think birds are dinosaurs, do you also think humans are fish? Do you think animals are slime molds, or even bacteria? After you answer these questions with the aid of a dictionary, reread the Wiki article on evolution with your eyes open.
So true. So true. Trump feels so sad; so sad. Believe me!
[Trump wiping tears away with his tiny little hands]
What about the Jesus Christ lizard, humans coexisted with that and that is both proof of Christianity and a living dinosaur.
That’s One Sorry Kickball Team, Harry…
If you think Palin is a rock bottom moron, it could be worse. Imagine Trump vs. Drunky Smurf.
Or this one
I find it interesting that the reality of the Trump presidency has apparently reversed the polled opinion from a year ago
I’m going to swim against the very shallow stream here and pick Trump.
Let me begin by saying that neither one can be trusted to shovel shit from one place to another.
But Trump seems easily influenced by his betters and allowing them to inform his (lack of) knowledge/policy/positions. I have not seen anything in Palin that would lead me to think she has the capacity to realize she’s an idiot and allow others to do the thinking for her. She’ll dig in her cheap discount barn heels and burn the place down before admitting she’s out of her depth.
This in all its glory. I agree.
This too.
I also vote Trump, but for different reasons: before running for POTUS (which I maintained for some time was just him trolling GOP primary voters by getting them to support the craziest shit he could think of) he was a moderate guy. Not ideal, of course, but he didn’t seem crazy back then.
Palin is either a true believer (terrifying) or just a less successful version of Trump.
On a related topic, just how embarrassing would it be for our species if aliens (the space kind) showed up to say hello and learn of our culture during the next 4 years? I think I would direct them to the dolphins as the most advanced life form on the planet.
Why do you hate America?
