I get it makes you happy when people mock disabled people?
Not as happy as seeing an actor express the only political opinion position that is acceptable to their profession.

Although Urs Max is more right. From the second link...:
"According to the Census Bureau, a place is "urban" if it's a big, modest or even very small collection of people living near each other. That includes Houston, with its 4.9 million people, and Bellevue, Iowa, with its 2,543."
well if you look at the actual source behind the first link you'll find the 80.7% in that pdf if you ctrl+f urban. which is where i got it from.

62.7 is cities, as in "incorporated places" which is everything from LA to the smallest town.

yawn.

Yeah, who would have thought in 1981 that "nuclear" could be powerful? Thank God for Dr John Trump, and for the attentive listening skills of his inherently gifted and highly educated little nephew (well, he was only 35 at the time) Donald Trump, who is now ready to save the world with his special and unique knowledge of "nuclear".

America, you still have no idea what you've done. It'll all become clear in a couple of weeks, I expect.

Well, we don't know for sure, but:
  • He did make the gesture when referring to the article written by the reporter, who is disabled
  • He claims he doesn't know the reporter
  • The reporter claims they met regularly in the 80s and 90s and were on first name terms
  • Trump has made a similar gesture numerous times previously in reference to himself, bank presidents and Ted Cruz, in order to indicate being flustered
Those are the facts, interpret them as you will.

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

Erm, what?
You know any other 70 year old making such statements and writing such Tweets would be being checked out for signs of senile dementia; however I am sure Trump's health is cleared annually.

Re: Will Trump be a Good President?

Most likely the same publicist from the this pageant contestant's quote:


Quote:
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.

The full video shows he didn't, only the edited one does.

At least he says "nuclear" and not "nucular", that's how low we have to set the bar.

Re: Will Trump be a Good President?

The Russian hacking story IS the fake news. The US political establish is simply trying to control damage from all the information revealed about the way they operate. Notice they don't refute the content of the leaks, but rather confirm its authenticity.

Trump didn't win because of Russian hacking. The DNC lost because of Hillary. A lot of Republicans didn't even bother to vote, and lot of Progressive were campaigning against Hillary. Trump was elected by moderate Democrats who chose him over Hillary.

This is the US waking up to and rejecting the bullshit that is our two party political system. This really should ought to be congratulated and celebrated.

Hopefully, they'll continue to allow him to play with the tweet machine, while some else runs the world.
