    Trump true believers and the Bernie folks are two sides of the same coin. The thing distinguishing a lot of the Trump people is a strong element of racial resentment along with it: why are black and hispanic people getting more free stuff than I am?

      A couple of presidents have been impeached, but no president in history has ever been impeached and convicted. Trump wants his presidency to be historic.

        I blame it on food additives, fluoride, vaccinations, radio waves, & climate change. Idiocracy.

          I enjoy watching CNN a lot more these days. The anchors and left wing pundits were so dead wrong that I am anxious to see what they say so I can bank on the opposite happening. In a way I feel sorry for the media folks. They are losing their clout and I think they know it.

          On another note I haven't noticed as much coverage of the protestors. I expect the organizers to get together and plan something that will put them spotlight back on them again. Maybe they will burn done a building or two or at the very least keep the American public from Christmas shopping.

            I'm no neurosurgeon, but publicly turning down a chance to serve in Trump's cabinet then accepting one just a week later doesn't engender much confidence in Carson's stability:

            "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

              Ain't that the truth. Initially i thought he said he wasn't qualified to run a federal agency, then poof, he must feel qualified now.

              Trump probably said something like, "Unqualified?!?! You feel unqualified?!?!? Hell, look at me. I'm the President of the United States."
              Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                  One of my favorite Borowitz Columns last year.

                  “People are beginning to understand that you can know a lot about brain surgery and virtually nothing about anything else.”


                  WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Brain surgeons, long burdened with the onerous reputation of being among the smartest people in the world, are expressing relief that the Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson is shattering that stereotype once and for all.

                  In interviews with brain surgeons across the country, the doctors revealed the enormous pressure they felt to live up to their profession’s inflated renown for intelligence before Carson entered the race.

                  “When people found out I was a brain surgeon they would always assume I was some kind of a genius,” said Harland Dorrinson, a neurosurgeon in Toledo, Ohio. “Now they are beginning to understand that you can know a lot about brain surgery and virtually nothing about anything else.”

                  Dorrinson said that acquaintances used to view him as a source of wisdom on a wide range of subjects, but added, “Ever since Ben Carson said that prisons make people gay, that’s really fallen off.”

                  The brain surgeon said that he would probably contribute to Carson’s campaign to keep him in the race: “every time he says something, it helps bring people’s unrealistic expectations about brain surgeons back down to earth.”

                  He said that he was cheered by Carson’s pronouncement over the weekend that Muslims should not be President. “Now you can cross politics off the list of things that people will expect me to be knowledgeable about,” he said. “I think I speak for a lot of brain surgeons when I say, ‘Thank you, Ben Carson.’ “

                    I like to look up the background on people who express themselves such as the Dr. I wonder if they are lefties, righties or just normal folks. Unfortunately I can't find anything on the good Dr., except his quote in the article. It is a pretty funny quote.

                    The thing I hear about Dr's all the time is that they are hard to give advice to. They figure they could do anybodies job better, but they chose to be a Dr. Dr. Dorrison contradicts that kind of thought. Good for him

                      I didn't click on the link, but the quoted part reads like a fictional humor piece. I doubt there is really a Dr. Dorrinson.

                        Yes of course. Satire.

                              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
