  • Re: If he was thinking he could scare us with the sound of a dog barking...

    Erik, Paul, Bob, Kerry, and Nigel, forget about Trump and the NFL. We need to get together to brainstorm on a business model for a new retail concept. I've asked my lawyer to register a corporation under the name 'Nuclear Winters R Us Inc.' Lets go lads!! We need to strike while the ICBMs are hot!! :)

      I suggest that to help with the brainstorming, we all go fission.

      Elliot Lake, Ontario -- once known as "Uranium Capital of the World" -- has some nice spots. Bring your Geiger counters.

          I have grave reservations about this joke.

            What? I have no idea what to think about your post!
            Anyway Peter, I was wondering what you thought of the Alabama election yesterday.

            Trump and McConnell backed establishment Republican Strange who lost to Moore, the insurgent candidate backed by Steve Bannon.
            What does this mean for the 2018 elections?

              A move to the right of Trump.

                I was listening to Tom Ashbrook's show on NPR (WBUR Boston) this morning. The interviewee referred to Moore as being Trumpier than Trump. :) The 2018 mid-terms should be very interesting. Ashbrook's interviewee (I forgot his name - some newspaper guy from Birmingham) thought that moderate Republican incumbents across the country would be the targets of primary challenges from the far right.

                  Just a bit of gallows humour, Bob. :)

                  Re Moore: a bit scary; especially considering his background as a judge (remind you of Judge Roy Bean?).

                    I don't think it is relevant to try and place Trump anywhere along the traditional left/right political spectrum.
                    On the ethical, moral, or decency scales, I place him at absolute zero. Everyone else > absolute zero.
                    In terms of temperature, 0 degrees Kelvin, or minus 273 degrees Celsius.
                    Or as I have said previously, no redeeming qualities.

                    But Vlad, as you have pointed out before, he does have remarkable skills as a con man. While his latest attacks on the NFL players and owners have the liberal media in a frenzy, as this article points out, they do unfortunately play right into his tiny hands.

                          To me, Trump has become somewhat of a loose cannon.

                              Disturbing reports coming in from Puerto Rico.....

                              Those paper towels that Trump was so triumphantly tossing into the crowds of suffering island natives.....

                              (that's right, folks, it's an island.... surrounded by 'big water.... ocean water....' lol)....

                              reports coming in now of many unwitting users of the paper towels getting ink all over their hands / faces......

                              That's right..... Trump University Masters Degrees. Didn't even bother putting them through recycling.

                                Peter, I believe the Society of Loose Cannons declined Donald's membership application!

                                But I give Trump a perfect score for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
                                I hope the White House have some good psychiatrists on staff.
