Another day, another poll out showing the Donald surging…..this time in New Hampshire where Trump holds a 2 to 1 lead over his nearest opponent – Jeb! (last name unknown)
Or so brother Jeb wishes.
Jeb! Just Elect Bernie.
R's are a hot, steaming mess. Hey, let's be bipartisan with them!
Not only should the Prez call those despicable a*hole liars out, but their peers in the senate should as well. Hey, maybe that's a place Dems could highlight themselves from R's for voters.
¡Exploding Heads!
Obama Says He’s Not Interested, But Could Win Election Again

He could be like President Taft and get appointed to the Supreme Court.
That would make their heads explode, Davie. Imagine what they'd call that "darned activist court" with him on it.
Yep. We'd need at least a Senate majority for him to have a chance, but the racist haters in the GOP would make this the ugliest confirmation hearing of all time. They will never forgive a black man for winning the White House twice!
Of course if Hillary is elected, it'll be all Benghazi all the time for up to 8 years.
What Republicans lack in imagination, they make up for with retribution.
"What Republicans lack in imagination, they make up for with retribution."
And, repetition.
BTW, speaking of repetition, there was an unsuccessful attempt in the U.S. Senate a couple of days ago to — you guessed it — repeal Obamacare.
I guess McConnell wants to get in on what the House has been doing for fun the past four and half years.
I'll give McConnell credit on this one: he didn't want the Obamacare repeal vote – it was a way to appease the Cruz/Lee faction of the Senate so he could pass a funding bill.
They'd call it Sharia Court
I like it, but I don't think Obama owes America anything. Let him rest, travel, speak at graduations, enjoy life.
Repeal the 22nd Amendment!
Yes!
The Donald needs a new lawyer. His thinks you cannot rape your spouse under the law. He's only got a couple of decades of law to catch up on.

I think we need to repost this story everywhere. Trump can't sue every single liberal media outlet or Facebook post.
Right now, Trump's lawyers are trying to sue Daily Beast for a current article revisiting a book published in 1993, based on statements Ivana Trump made during her divorce deposition hearings in 1990.
Ivana Trump publicly accused Donald Trump of spousal rape in their divorce in 1990. This is per a court deposition, researched and reported in a 1993 book, "Lost Tycoon – The Many Lives of Donald Trump," by Harry Hurt III. Hurt was a former reporter for Newsweek, won awards, worked in print and other media for over 20 years.
The Daily Beast reporters also reviewed the prenuptial and court documents around the Trump divorce, and found accusations of verbal abuse and sexual aggression:
Trump has not sued Hurt for making public court documents public. The book is still available, as evidenced by the Daily Beast writer quoting it.
Opposition Research and politically convenient timing? Of course it is. This incident languished in a book for 22 years. Nobody cared to pursue it – possibly because Donald Trump is wealthy and powerful, and Ivana apparently got a multi-million dollar settlement to stop talking about it.
For what it's worth, I believe that the spousal rape happened, just as Ivana said it did, when she made her divorce court deposition in 1993.
After the book came out, Ivana was paid off, to the tune of several million dollars, and now denies that anything rape-like ever happened. Each copy of Hurt's book apparently has to include some paper disclaimer stating that Ivana has now walked the accusations of rape back.
Stunning. Bets? Do Trump's poll numbers go up or come down because of this?
For dustpuppy. ( Or anyone else who enjoys superb signing) The song is Eminem's "Lose Yourself" . Sometimes Eminem is a bit raw for my taste, but damn, the man is a wordsmith. Anyway, this lady who signed won the contract to sign at Austin City Limits in 2014. Don't know her name. Can’t embed the video.

Ahhh, today's quote and its source brings back memories. I recall that summer day in 1988 when Daddy Bush introduced J. Danforth Quayle to the nation and the world as the person most qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. (At the time, Quayle jumping up and down, running around on stage in New Orleans. Daddy Bush looked down right frightened.) At the time, I though we had seen the low-water mark in the GOP's dumbing down with the candidates they ran.
Not so fast…..along came George W. Bush and we know how they went. Then there was Sarah Palin followed by Rick Perry followed by the clowns they have running this time.
Dan Quayle is a mental giant compared with Sarah Palin.
Even Rick Perry is more intelligent and works more diligently than Sarah.
OK, OK. Even my cat is not as intellectually lazy as Sarah.
J. Danforth is a fellow Hoosier and got his start in politics there, while I was still living in Indiana. One of the staff M.D.s in the social services agency where I worked was J. Danforth's father-in-law. He was a real gentleman and never had a bad word to say about anybody. But reading between some of his lines, it was clear that Marilyn wore the pants in J. Danforth's household.
I think George HW Bush's mysterious selection of Dan Quayle (as "the best qualified" man to be President and as his running mate) made perfect sense once the world fully realized what that poor man had to work with at home?!?
“If you’re getting high in Colorado today, enjoy it,” Christie, a Republican campaigning for the 2016 presidential nomination, said Tuesday during a town-hall meeting at the Salt Hill Pub in Newport, New Hampshire. “As of January 2017, I will enforce the federal laws.”
