This poor guy voluntarily committed himself to a pysch ward.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/my-post-election-crisis-a-top-hillary-fundraisers_us_583d2ae0e4b0bb2962f17854QuoteI found out Donald Trump had won the Electoral College while midstream in providing a urine sample for the emergency psychiatric staff of a New York City public hospital. The unlockable bathroom door in this unescapable wing was ajar, and I could hear the victorious Mike Pence’s sinister Sunday-school baritone taunting me with the truth from the hallway television.For the preceding witching hours of election night, I had lain in a fetal position amidst a cast of anonymous men nursing their own crises, my hands clasped tightly over my ears. It wasn’t that I minded the howls of the guy nearby who was shackled to his cot and monitored by an unimpressed brood of policemen. Instead, I wanted to spare myself any word of the far greater insanity unfolding beyond the hospital walls.Drained of tears, too tired to sleep, I stared at the fluorescent ceiling lights —which, indifferent to our suffering, remained on throughout the night — and endured the passing time by willing my thoughts to vanish into the dull glow. For a second, I imagined someone would burst in and proclaim, “It’s all right, Hillary won!” and I would bound out of bed, awoken from this nightmare.This was all just a dream, right?A while before, during the final hour of November 8, I had committed myself to institutional psychiatric care. A generation or two ago they would have said I was suffering a nervous breakdown: catatonic, plagued by involuntary jerking motions (my head furiously shaking “No! ”), speech patterns disjointed, weeping uncontrollably.Oh there's so much more. Gotta read the whole thing. I think my favorite part was when he refused to give his pudding cup to a fellow inmate. Typical liberal progressive.

That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/10/graydon-carter-donald-trump

The actual vs. potentially worrisome conflicts of interest is one distnction between Trump and Clinton.Another is the number of conflicts. Clinton: 1? Trump: infinity.Another is money going directly to Trump (the actual definition of corruption) vs. some vague idea that Clinton is a dirty, cheating liar.
FSD is playing a great card here... Given Trump won't release his taxes and holding info, can't pin down actual conflicts.... This article does a effort to enumerate them but FSD knows he can google "trump conflicts of interest" and easily find hundreds of these articleshttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=/amp/www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-11-18/donald-trumps-conflict-of-interest-problem%253Fcontext%253Damp&ved=0ahUKEwiCyoKS8_fQAhUhr1QKHRDYCvI4ChAWCDMwCQ&usg=AFQjCNEGBwblDgO9Nic8SbWMCxMy84rXlA&sig2=mXxlk8MfXCrZQJ2roc9YDw
He's literally gone back on every promise he made to get the fsd's of the world to vote for him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

There's no shitty policy he won't defend as long as liberal is proposing/implementing it.
There is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek, though still quite real, phenomenon known as "Nobel Disease." For some reason, many people who have won a Nobel Prize went on to become infamous for saying and believing incredibly stupid things, some of which are quite delusional.Two explanations seem most likely. First, a person who wins a Nobel Prize may begin to think that all of his ideas are prize-worthy. As a result, like being intoxicated with alcohol, a Nobel laureate may feel less inhibited to blurt out whatever is on his mind. Second, it's possible that Nobel laureates are a bit kooky to begin with; earth-shattering ideas often don't come from pedestrian minds. The newest inductee into this dubious club is Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist and columnist for the New York Times. Recently on Twitter, he insinuated that Donald Trump may orchestrate a 9/11-style attack to boost his presidency.For lack of a better word, that is insane. After much pushback, including a stinging rebuke from Mediaite and various other outlets, Dr Krugman slightly walked back his comments, suggesting instead that Mr Trump will simply start a war with another country. Dr Krugman has always been a bomb thrower, but it appears that he has been emboldened by his new Swedish credentials.Alas, he is in good company. Other Nobel Disease sufferers have included:Linus Pauling. The winner of two Nobel Prizes (chemistry and peace), Linus Pauling spent the latter years of his life trying to convince people that megadoses of vitamin C could improve health and cure cancer. Luc Montagnier. Luc Montagnier was awarded the Nobel Prize for helping to discover HIV. Since then, according to Science-Based Medicine, Dr Montagnier has embraced DNA teleportation, homeopathy, and the belief that autism (as well as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and various other diseases) is linked to bacterial DNA that emits electromagnetic waves. More bizarrely, he believes that HIV -- the very virus that he discovered -- can be cured through nutrition.Alexis Carrel. Alexis Carrel earned the Nobel Prize for vascular suturing. However, as RealClearScience describes, he also supported eugenics, believed in "mysticism, telepathy, [and] clairvoyance," and possessed a "desire to move to South America to become a dictator."Kary Mullis. Molecular biology was revolutionized by Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for inventing a method (called polymerase chain reaction or PCR) to quickly amplify DNA in a test tube. In recent years, however, Dr Mullis has dragged his own name through the mud. As RealClearScience explains, he accepts astrology while denying that HIV causes AIDS. And he thinks he might have encountered aliens.Update: Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center reminded me of one more especially deranged case of Nobel Disease. Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai believes HIV was created by scientists as a biological weapon to kill black people.
Ivanka Trump just had a bumpy start to her Xmas holiday ... an out-of-control passenger on her flight began verbally berating her and "jeering" at her 3 kids.Ivanka was on a JetBlue flight leaving JFK Thursday morning with her family when a passenger started screaming, "Your father is ruining the country." The guy went on, "Why is she on our flight. She should be flying private." The guy had his kid in his arms as he went on the tirade.A passenger on the flight tells TMZ Ivanka ignored the guy and tried distracting her kids with crayons. JetBlue personnel escorted the unruly passenger off the flight. As he was removed he screamed, "You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!!"BTW ... Ivanka, her family and bunch of cousins were all in coach.The husband of the unruly passenger tweeted an hour before the plane took off, "Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them."
That's terrible
I think it's great. More people should do it - especially to the Trumps.
