DA old timers  

He looks so good . . . like a margarita with a scoop of raspberry sherbet ?

PHELPHELPHELPHELP
Has Mark ever edited his pants? I guess MOST OF US will never know for sure..
After all, he IS the International Man of Mystery.
In Boulder.
WITH KNIFE.
And SDR.
Rescued a baby crow today… rescued him from our own cats anyway! Cats are now grounded indoors 24-7, until the crow flies. He's back outside, and mom and dad crow have it all under control now. He is already doing short flights.
Crow OK.

Did I kill the thread with crow talk?
I thought only Trump talk could do that.
Is it ME?
Is everybody on vacation?
Okay, fine…
Did the Donald really make yet ANOTHER racially charged (and simply dumb) comment?
Yes.
Yes he did.

Vacation? What's a vacation? I never go anywhere.

If I Ieave the site for a week I have to log back in. Anybody else ?
Maybe it's time for Trump haiku. But not from me; you guys are way better at it.
I've done my part: I mailed in my primary vote on Saturday. I would have voted for Bernie as a statement of principle and intent but am afraid to do anything to derail the Hillary train. What a wimp . . .

I often have to log on at any given time if I'm using my phone. I don't think I've ever not been here for more than a week on my laptop, though! Hm.
I know this is MSNBC, but still. The Donald's team is crumbling! Wheee!!

that double-portrait
of the donald says it all
(maybe running mate)

Dog and pony show
orange oozing from clogged skin pores
sweet as sour milk.

Aunt Mark

scowling, wrinkled
a spork is needed as the
orange candidate sours
EDIT: "sours" only one syllable-- like "squrl" ?

his voice thuds loudly
like a sledgehammer of meat
relentless and dead

"LOOK AT ME UP HERE"
"I'M REALLY FANTASTIC, RIGHT?"
"BOW DOWN BEFORE ME"

Right hand bouncing up
and down, finger points aloft
as the tiny mouth
.
makes yet another
pointless jab or unfounded
assertion. Really, Don ?

betacar'tene crust
or innocuous spray tan?
the truth will out soon
.
I'm counting the days
until the tell-alls appear
1st drafts in the works!
[edited to correct syllable count - I talk too fast to myself, I guess]

National pundits are predicting this week that the Republican leaders who have reluctantly fallen into line behind Trump, will now have to put up with being asked their opinions about each new absurdity issuing from the mindless mouth of their (un)chosen candidate . . .
Sit back and enjoy the show. The remaining question, for me, is "Will the party, and will those who are attracted to Mr Trump, have learned anything about themselves, when it's all over ?"

I think the party will have learned something about itself but whether it will get its act together enough to implement changes, I'm not so sure.
As for the general populace that supports this buffoon, well...that's more complicated. Until they get it into their thick heads that being educated is a good thing and not something to turn your nose up at a and make fun of and be resentful of, not much will change. And by being educated, I just mean having enough intellectual curiosity that you want to learn new things---examine old beliefs and consider new information and FUCKING THINK FOR YOURSELF.
The internet has made it super easy for them to connect with each other and get instant support for every crazy stupid thing that happens---as happens with the other side, too, and the result is polarization that just gets worse and worse. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
