What does Trump have against dogs?

C'mon Prestige. Trump uses that moronic description constantly. Out of curiosity, do you think it is right for the President to act like a dumb ass school yard bully? What purpose does his remark serve?

C'mon Prestige. Trump uses that moronic description constantly.

It's a figure of speech. Seriously, what's your problem with the English language as it is commonly used?

My problem isn't with the English language. It's with a moronic bully. Do you think that kind of language is appropriate for a President? Do you think talking like a **** head is right for a President? How about for a human being?

Let's back up a moment. Do you agree that "like a dog" as a pejorative does not actually signal a personal dislike of dogs?

That wasn't the point and you should be able to figure that out. Seems like he constantly compares people he dislikes to a dog. So maybe he doesn't like dogs. Have you ever heard of him owning a dog?

I could explain it to you, but I would have to use an metaphor or analogy and that would set you off.

So resolved, the stupid bitch doesn't like dogs. We can hang that on him without regard to what he actually meant. It's not like it will destroy his presidency but when you're taking down Caesar every cut helps.

If he talked like a **** head it would be an improvement.

It's a new shiny phrase (to him for the moment).

What does that have to do with the discussion, and why are you asking me, of all people?

If you're using the a word as a pejorative it sure seems to indicate that you think the thing it describes is negative.

I heard he invented it. Like "prime the pump".

Perhaps the best thing about election years is Bad Lip Reading.

So it begins.

To be fair, a lot of his speeches sound better in the original Russian

If so, he needs a better translator.

This one is funnier.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has qualified for the stage in the December debate.

Sean Trende of RCP made an interesting point the other day. Kamala and Buttigieg are now jockeying for position as the moderate candidate in the event that Joe Biden completely falls apart. He is flirting with fourth place in Iowa and seems a likely third in New Hampshire. It's not impossible to imagine him imploding. And that's a lot of his voters up for grabs. Expect everyone who credibly can (including such seldom-mentioned but not terribly out of it candidates like Amy Klobuchar) to stick around.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Buttigieg was badmouthing Warren's Medicare plan today. I was hoping not to see that. If you have a better plan, show it. You don't need to point out flaws in other candidate's campaigns.

Honestly, it's as ignorant as Donnie thinking he needed Zelenski to push a CT about Biden when all Donnie had to do was point out Hunter had a cush job in the Ukraine.

A high-profile book tour. Countless TV interviews. Political combat with a Democratic primary candidate and Donald Trump. A year before the US presidential election, it looks like a campaign and it sounds like a campaign but it isn’t a campaign. At least, not as far anyone knows.

Yet a recent surge of activity by Hillary Clinton, combined with reports and columns suggesting the Democrats have not found the right candidate, have made a 2016 rematch a fun, speculative and potentially intriguing topic of Washington conversation.

The sense that something strange is going on began a few weeks ago. A book is a traditional vehicle for a candidate. The former secretary of state launched The Book of Gutsy Women, co-written with daughter Chelsea, and embarked on a tour that included events, speeches and late-night TV appearances.

Hillary Clinton can't just accept she lost to Trump, the worst major Presidential Candidate (and President) in living memory. Besides, if people complain about there not being a new JFK, why do they look towards Hillary? She's about as uncharismatic and unlovable as they come.

If Trump gets to rewrite history, why not HRC?
She has a lot more facts on her side of the story.
