More Trump quotes from ABC interview:

Dude is dangerously stupid.

Not only is Russia in Crimea, but they effectively control large parts of Eastern Ukraine. And it is from eastern Ukraine that the Russian-proxy rebels shot down a passenger airliner killing hundreds of people.

Yeah this.

"I'm gonna take a look at that" to every question is so lol. Might start using that at work every time a manager asks something.

It's not even like Sarah Palin who didn't really need to know anything as gov of Alaska and couldn't be prepped in time. Trump has had forever to know stuff and still knows NOTHING.

it bothers me when people assume average means mean and not median which is generally superior (mode is mostly stupid of course and maybe there are other options.)

drumpf kvetching, this time about bloomberg endorsing clinton:

Quote:

Speaking with ABC host George Stephanopoulos, Trump criticized Bloomberg's decision not to mount an independent run for president though he "wanted to run for president for probably as long as you've known him."

"He never had the guts to do it. And now I see this guy up onstage saying negative things," Trump said. "He knows nothing about me. He's never been to my office. I don't know him well."

Stephanopoulos pointed out, however, that the two moguls golfed together, which Trump said happened "maybe once."

"And I hit the ball a lot longer, a lot better," Trump added.

you may think that drumpf hitting the ball, quote, a lot longer and and a lot better than bloomberg settles this particular argument.

but just like another tyrannical blatherer of world history, there are controversies regarding drumpf's golf-based claims:

Quote:

De La Hoya was about to start his round when Trump pulled up in a golf cart and asked to join. De La Hoya obliged and said, "Of course, this is your golf course."

"First ball," De La Hoya says, "Trump hits off to the water, gets another ball from his pocket. Hits it off to the left, out of bounds. Trump said, 'Oh, I got another one, just warming up.'

"Another one to the water. Then the fourth ball he hits I know it went to the bushes. But Donald, what he does, he tees off first so he can take off right away. I pipe mine down the middle. So we go off to our ball, and who do we see? Donald Trump, right in the middle of the fairway."

As they pulled up, Trump said, "By the way, I found my first ball, it's right here."

"We're like, 'OK, yeah,' we're cracking up, not in front of his face. Then we go on to a par-3. There's a big bush right between the tee and the green, so you can’t really see the green -- you can see the flag, not the green. Trump hits and we just know it went out of bounds. We know it. He takes off. We get up there and he's like, 'Oh, my ball's right here!' Three feet away. 'And by the way, I'm going to pick it up, it's a gimme.'"

so who knows what to believe re: bloomers vs drumpf average drive length

Found it:

Quote:

When his interviewer referred to the Hateful Eight star and Trump as “golf buddies,” Jackson replied: “I would never say buddies, or friends. I’ve golfed with him.” When asked if he was a better golfer than the Republican presidential frontrunner, Jackson said, “Oh, I am, for sure – I don’t cheat.”

...

When Meyers asked him to confirm that he had in fact met Trump, an incredulous Jackson replied, “Yeah, I’ve met him a lot! I’ve played golf with him. I actually played golf with him with Anthony Anderson one day, and we were all playing golf together, and we clearly saw him hit a ball into a lake at Trump National in Jersey – and his caddy told him he’d found it.”

“Was the caddy soaking wet when he said this?” asked Meyers.

“No!” Jackson continued. “We were like, ‘Did you see a splash? I saw a splash.'”

This dude is a candidate for President. God Almighty.

Anthony Anderson backed Jackson up btw, although he stopped short of saying that Trump was responsible for the cheating:

Quote:

"Trump is a great golfer. I'm not going to say Trump cheats," Anderson told Meyers. "His caddy cheats for him."

Meyers asked if Anderson actually saw the cheating happening.

"Oh yes, several times. Several times," said Anderson. "I mis-hit a ball — it hooked a little left about 20 yards. Trump hit the exact same shot but went 20 yards further left than mine. I could not find my ball in this trash. Trump's ball had the fluffiest lie in the middle of the fairway. Like I say, I didn't see Trump cheat because he was on the t-box with me, but his ball was right there in the middle of the fairway."

That his caddy blatantly cheats for him every round and he doesn't notice is implausible and in any case might actually be more frightening than him doing it himself.

Is there a single person on this planet who wouldn't expect Trump to cheat at golf? Surely this is the least surprising news ever.

This was the plot of a Simpsons episode, with Smithers as Burns' caddy.

Also, Hugo Drax's original tell was cheating at cards, and he turned out to be a nazi trying to nuke London while sneaking off in a submarine!

Bah! Slowponied...

So "Miss Teen USA" apparently still exists and the new one likes to throw around the N word:

miss_teen_usa_karlie_hay_seems_to_have_used_the_n_ word_on_twitter_a_lot

Nothing wrong with having a type...

Edit: not sure about linking the actual tweets--she's not using onomatopoeia or anything, just straight-up writing ****** like she was in 'Blazing Saddles' or something.

Oscar de la Hoya accused him of cheating at golf too iirc (edit: super slow pony)

Came for the Ukraine comments. My good god. How does he get more support the more unfit for the job he proves he is?

Gah, it looks like I was mistaken. I thought the guy writing the WaPo article was a Politifact guy for reasons I have since forgotten.

Wut?

Littlefinger's power stems from his ability to outwit his opponents at every turn.

Drumf is Mace Tyrell if he is anyone. Blubbering idiot, owes his station in life to his heritage, and has a smoking hot daughter.
