Donald Trump on Megyn Kelly: 'She should really be apologizing to me'




___________________

Donald Trump on Megyn Kelly: 'She should really be apologizing to me'
Trump's comments mark a new layer in his continued scrapping on the "blood" comment -- which has roiled even Trump supporters and led to him being disinvited from the past weekend's conservative Red State conference.



So Trump has alienated almost all immigrants, veterans, women, Republicans and now Fox News. Who's left? Angry white guys with guns? Oh, wait...



If Donald Trump were mounting a one-person campaign to permanently discredit the Republican Party, it's pretty flawless so far.- LOLGOP










The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam





If only Iraq had a military strongman thug dictator to counterbalance the religious nuts in the region and the US could contain him.  Sigh. - John Fugelsang








Jeb Believes In State's Rights Except...
Yes, in the end the 2000 presidential election was decided by a 5-4 Supreme Court decision. That was the only vote that mattered in putting George W. Bush in the White House, despite the fact that he lost the national popular vote to Al Gore by well over a half a million votes.





Thinking of acting like a disgusting, racist clown at work today -- or, as 23% of GOP voters call it, "presidential." - LOLGOP









Republican Shenanigans






The Republicans have 17 excellent candidates for middle-school vice principal. - Andy Borowitz





The Trumpeter Reaches Higher Note 
If you thought Donald Trump’s boisterous debate performance and subsequent comments about Fox News’ Megyn Kelly might hurt his standing in the polls, you might be very wrong.














The cowardly GOP candidates couldn't defend 1 woman from a bully, how the hell are you going to defend the country? Weak ass punks. - 3ChicksPolitico Tweet









Rock The Voter News





The weekend began with the GOP frontrunner making a menstruation joke and ended with him calling you a pervert. Happy Monday, everyone!- LOLGOP





Do You Think The Chinese Have Hillary's Emails?
Chinese hackers have been accessing the private emails of top U.S. national security and trade officials since April 2010, according to an NBC News report on Monday, citing a U.S. intelligence official and top secret document.

The Environmental Protection Agency Polluted Rivers
The Environmental Protection Agency has acknowledged that its cleanup operation at a Colorado mine has led to the release of around three million gallons of toxic waste into the San Juan and Animas Rivers, the Washington Post reports. The agency accidentally punctured a dam holding back water filled with arsenic and heavy metals left behind by the Gold King Mine, which has been closed since 1923.

Delta and United Airlines announced this week that they will no longer allow passengers to transport animals that they killed on hunting trips. Which begs the question: "There was a time when you COULD do that?"- Jimmy Fallon












How's That Russian Ruble Doing?
Russian President Vladimir Putin commended the central bank for its efforts to keep the ruble stable after policy makers called for calm as the currency bounced back from a six-month low.

The Debate

FoxNews is not on my cable here in Costa Rica unless I pay an extra $4. CNNInternational and Headline News is included in my basic cable.

After watching some of the Republican debate clips from last night  I have come to the conclusion that Donald Trump has done the best job ever of dividing the GOP since Ross Perot.

Trump is a bully and so are his followers. A match made in heaven in their eyes. Trump won't fold as Perot did back in the day, but Trump will eventually bully his way until he says something so distasteful that he will lose half his die hard fans. And, hopefully, that will be after he secures the GOP nomination. Please, please, please.




The Greedy Old Party is a mess and that is a good thing, isn't it? And the election is only 458 days away.





And the most upsetting news last night was, it was Jon Stewart's last Daily Show. Sigh. How can his shoes be filled? Who else has the guts to watch FoxNews and stay sane?


While the Republican candidates were crowing or sparring on national TV, Hillary was rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous.  I title the screen shot below,  the REAL KKK...Kim, Killery and Kanye.




By the way, Hillary is wearing a lovely orange pant outfit with a Mandarin collar in the above photo. I personally think that Kim should dress Hillary. I would love to see Hillary in more beige tones, Jones of NY style. I think Kim would agree. Remember, Kim made her name long before her reality TV show, by dressing Hollywood's finest.




Today was a comedy of errors for me so I was not able to produce my usual edition. Sometimes life hands you a bunch of puzzle pieces and this was one of those days.




But when all is said and done, Mrs. Betty Bowers said it best about Donald Trump last night..."I think we can all agree that Donald Trump won last night's debate -- if the object of the election is to find a petulant president who talks like an anonymous Internet commenter."


See you Monday!

Peace.

The Great Republican Debate Is Tonight




___________________


11 questions that tonight’s Republican presidential debate will answer
Tonight's Republican presidential debate will almost certainly be the most watched primary debate in television history. With that many eyeballs on the 10 men who will take the debate stage in Cleveland, the stakes for every one of them are remarkably high.




The debate rules state that the highest-polling candidate is given the middle podium, which means Donald Trump will be center stage tomorrow night. Well, that and the fact that he was going to stand there anyway.- Jimmy Fallon

California Leads, America Follows
The Clean Power Plan announced Monday poses significant challenges for states that rely on coal-fired power plants for much of their electricity, but complying with the rules will be a breeze for California. That's because the state has practically eliminated coal from its energy portfolio and leads the nation with the toughest regulations to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet.
