wouldn't you have had to hold a political office to be a politician? *** a mayor at least? the bar seems pretty low if all you have to do is talk ***on twitter...
There's a difference between "talking ***on twitter" and "running for president of the US."

I thought you would have figured that one out.....

This will be Trump's first official position as a member of government, if elected. He's not a politician. His success rides on not being a politician. His unpolished edges are precisely because he's not a politician.

If elected, he becomes a politician, statesman or horseman of the apocalypse. Right now, he's Donald Trump: showboater, reality star, businessman, real estate tycoon running for POTUS.

I dunno. Trump's probably *** a lot of politicians. Figuratively and otherwise.

Breaking News: Trump announces during debate #1 that he 'tapped that' in reference to Hillary Clinton.

I'm not saying what just went through my head because it's an awful thing to say and no one wants that mental image, so I'll suffer it alone.

But just know it was one hell of a zinger to all involved parties.

Just imagine what Melania Trump has to go through on a nightly basis and you'll realize why we have things like Geneva conventions.

Melania Trump

Her name bothers me. It's too close to the medical term "melena."

Yeah, I'd run for president if I didn't, you know, have my own opinion as opposed to conforming to either being a Conservative Republican or a Liberal Democrat. The only other choice is to be a loser.

Speaking of which, which one of you P&R people did I meet at work yesterday? Severe brain injury, extremely racist, delusional, and spouting off profanity and racial slur laden rhetoric.

Something tells me the White House cabana boy is going to be putting in extra hours if Trump is elected.

Wasn't me.

I'm not extremely racist nor did I leave Texas yesterday.

As an update to my previous post:

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/18/middleeast/egyptair-flight-disappears/index.html

EgyptAir Flight 804: Wreckage found, airline official says

Quote:
Cairo (CNN)Searchers scouring the heavily traveled waters of the Mediterranean Sea for EgyptAir Flight 804 and the 66 people on board have found the plane's wreckage, airline Vice Chairman Ahmed Adel told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
He did not elaborate on the condition of the wreckage, which the airline said was found Thursday near the Greek island of Karpathos. But Adel said the operation was turning into a search and recovery mission -- language that often denotes a lack of survivors.
"Our main concern right now is taking care of the family and friends of all those who perished," Adel told Amanpour. "We are now in the process of contacting next of kin. Once that process is complete, we will release the passenger manifest."
The Airbus A320 carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew and security officers disappeared early Thursday over the Mediterranean as it flew from Paris to Cairo.
Earlier, a spokesman for Greece's Hellenic National Defense General Staff had said an Egyptian search aircraft had spotted two floating objects 210 nautical miles southeast of Crete. It's unclear whether those objects are part of the wreckage described by Adel.

Speculation has centered on the possibility of a terrorist attack.
"Planes today just don't fall out of the sky," CNN aviation analyst Miles O'Brien said.
Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sharif Fathi said technical failures and terror are each possible explanations.
"But if you analyze this situation properly, the possibility of having a different action aboard, of having a terror attack, is higher than having a technical problem," Fathi said.

-- The debris found includes life jackets and plastic materials, the airline said.
-- Maintenance checks on the plane had been done on time and "no snags were reported," Adel told Amanpour.
-- Checks of the passenger manifest have so far resulted in no hits on terror watch lists, officials with knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

I've considered doing that. Baiting someone into an off-the-wall, one-on-one conversation and then deleting my posts sounds like it could have some hilarious results. The "quote" function screws that up a bit, though.

Wild shot in the dark, but maybe a process of baby making joke rather than who gets dealt the best genetic hand?

I doubt it was meant to be offensive.

Seriously, that's been going on for years.
