Displaying 601 To 630 Of 18,974 Comments Why Donald Trump Absolutely, Positively Can’t Win the Presidency A very astute article, AdLib. One that brings an abundance of hope that Trump will crash even if he wins the nomination. It will be like Cecil B. Demille’s “The Greatest Show on Earth” without the wonderful cast and award. Just a handful of sad clowns and deflated elephant balloons. Have to laugh whenever this egotist gets an honest if unfavorable review. He slams back by calling the reporter or newspaper rubbish and liars. Amazingly those who remember him as anything but a great guy or good leader, are lying too. Shades of Kim Jung Un who is now ranting that the countries saying the H-bomb test was more than likely a fake, are declaring war while pointing his pudgy finger in the direction of S. Korea. Interesting and well researched article from WaPo, and I think the only one lying here is the subject of this article. He claims time at this military academy is proof that he can lead the country. He was sent there at 17 by his parents to learn some discipline as he was out of control. Problem is, he still is out of control and orbiting towards a black hole. —- 50 years later, disagreements over young Trump’s military academy record » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2016 @ 8:04 pm Weekend Music Thread – Color My World It sure is a crafty old bugger. We never see it coming until bits and bobs of us start breaking down and misbehaving. Still, life is great for the most part, and what is on the outside is not that important. These days I’m grateful to wake up to a new day. Hope this will make life much easier for you. Get well soon. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2016 @ 12:16 am Sad news and way too soon.

This is simply wonderful, AdLib. A delightful way to start my Boxing Day morning. Thought this quote by Henry Fielding should come as a warning to those willing to vote for anyone more extreme than the republican extremists. I think a vote for someone like Trump is a sign of desperation from losers When you are actually able to think about it, most of their economic woes are legislated by their elected government officials and governors, and their paranoia is escalated by the fringe nutters in office too. Their boogeymen are their own people leading them by their nose rings. Funnily enough I have read over and over again that up to his first attempt to run for the WH, Trumpy was actually quite liberal. Either he’s playing them, or he’s as dumb as a door without handles. Thanks so much for the laughs. Always a real treat! Considering the unforeseen events of this world, we should be taught that no human condition should inspire men with absolute despair. Henry Fielding » Posted By Kalima On December 25, 2015 @ 3:30 pm The statistics are truly terrifying in your article, JMBrodie. They leave no doubt about the festering illness in police departments, and the obvious decades of cover ups of violence against black Americans. It is painful to read, and needs to be addressed immediately nationwide. I read the article below yesterday but am sure that you are already aware of the details. Shocking that police can continue to murder and maim others just because of the colour of their skin. It sounds like apartheid to me. The people who promise to serve and protect, only serve and protect those they choose to. There is something so very wrong with that in civilised society. Every reason to be angry. Every reason to be sad when fellow Americans are being treated as inferior human beings, then being punished for it too. It makes the Black Panther movement that much easier to understand even though it became too radical. The idea of protecting black communities from police brutality is just as critical as it was in the 60’s if not more so now. Thank you so much for bringing the issue into the light here so eloquently. —- MAYHEM » Posted By Kalima On December 17, 2015 @ 12:53 pm Trump Sews a Swastika Onto The American Flag You have an uncanny way of predicting what insane people might do next. The fact that you are spot on about this piece of manure, is eerie. Fact is really often stranger than fiction but in this case, fiction/satire is fact. Trump thinks his campaign is one of his shows. I read yesterday that if his poll numbers drop, he might leave the race. He believes 100% in those polls. Reading an article in WaPo the other day that confirmed that Trump’s supporters are under educated. As if we didn’t already know that. What the article didn’t say is that they are also racists and haters who have found their niche in Trumpdom. What bothers me the most after the obvious vilifying of all Muslims is how hard President Obama has worked to rebuild international fences and America’s image after the Bush devastation, then to have this ignorant thug try to spoil the effort must be so frustrating. Not everyone around the globe knows or cares what is going on with U.S. politics. They hear “ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.” Can’t or won’t distinguish between the rambling of a vile exhibitionist or actual policy, and think that it’s real. Yes, let him win the GOP nomination and wait for him and that awful party to explode. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2015 @ 1:36 pm Hello Kes. If I were Mr. Noclassbigmouth, I would find the nearest big rock and climb under it after a vote of approval from that group of degenerates. The backlash from this has now gone international. Can’t think of anyone who deserves it more. The only thing you need to be the GOP front runner is to be crazier than the rest of them. He has won that race. The number of signers has now passed the 300,000 mark. He now joins people like; People banned from entering the UK under the exclusion policy in recent years include leaders of the Westboro Baptist Church, Islamist preachers and Ku Klux Klan officials, and two anti-Muslim bloggers Be careful what you wish for. —- Trump UK ban petition passes 370,000 signatures http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35052505 » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2015 @ 10:53 pm Congratulations!! You are “the real deal”. If this wasn’t so disgusting, I would be laughing out loud because he will never live this down. Heil Trump! This just proved your point beautifully, AdLib. The icing on the cake. Schadenfreude. —- Exclusive: US Neo-Nazi Leader Says Donald Trump ‘the Real Deal’ —- I hope this is just the beginning “Dubai retail giant suspends sales of Trump products amid ‘Muslim ban’ furore” » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2015 @ 2:11 pm THE TEXT: President Obama’s Address to the Nation on ISIS Hello, kes. Even if it were a hoax, it’s deplorable. To think that this ignorant excuse for a human being is actually running for president and has equally ignorant people who would vote for him, is mind blowing to say the least. He is inciting hate and a possible backlash against American Muslims. Already I have read about threats against mosques. If one nutter can kill 3 innocent people in Colorado muttering “no more baby parts”, imagine the hundreds of anti-Muslim nuts with a basement or bunker full of guns. Trump is the devil out to destroy common sense in America. He excretes from both ends. It is so disgusting. He has no business being in this race, and to think that the rest of the moth eaten bunch are now trying to find ways to be more like him. It’s unfathomable. The President is a part of a coalition to defeat ISIS. Trump and his meanderthals are part of an extremist coalition to create more terrorists. » Posted By Kalima On December 7, 2015 @ 5:35 pm Woke up to this and am physically sick. Trump has now joined the Far Right Coalition of Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders and the rest of the European haters. His supporters must be so proud. Way to go Trump! You have just recruited another hundred or so for the ISIS propaganda machine. They should pay you for doing their job. ISIS is dancing in the streets of the stolen towns and villages they have pillaged and destroyed the lives of so many citizens in. So close after President Obama’s thoughtful speech on combating terrorism, this pos tries to destroy America’s image again. You don’t have to worry about keeping terrorist out because they are already there running for the highest office in the land. Gobsmacking! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. I only saw about 2 minute of his address, and those 2 minutes were rational, full of common sense, compassion and an understanding of the fact that hate breeds hate. I do hope that the majority of Americans let his words sink in.

She is from Maryland and was “discovered” in the U.K. Just checked on Google. The laundry can wait! You are probably fast asleep now, so goodnight. » Posted By Kalima On December 5, 2015 @ 9:55 pm Fantastic! Make that two dances. Her name sounds familiar but I can’t remember the name of the song. » Posted By Kalima On December 5, 2015 @ 8:44 pm Beautiful version, kes.

As a European, never having witnessed a shooting, I don’t feel qualified to say much about this continuing gun violence in America, but am disturbed about the lack of action from Congress on gun control legislation and their enabling of and profiteering from the NRA. As you say, any Tom, Dick, Harry and terrorist can legally purchase guns and endless supplies of ammunition. Gobsmacking reality. Read this article in the New Yorker and wanted to share it here. Great piece, AdLib! —- “Our Shared Blame for the Shooting in San Bernardino” http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/our-shared-blame-for-the-shooting-in-san-bernardino » Posted By Kalima On December 5, 2015 @ 2:15 am A Thanksgiving Tradition – 2015 Hilarious, kes!!! 😆 😆 😆 » Posted By Kalima On November 27, 2015 @ 8:43 pm Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I’m thankful for The Planet and the wonderful people who contribute. Thank you! I’m thankful to AdLib for answering my SOS emails when I find a threat to our site, your understanding, friendship and brilliant articles like this one. You made me laugh out loud again. Thank you! I’m thankful for the meaningful friendships that have developed over the years since we started The Planet. To old friends and new. Thank you! You know who you are, especially you, kes. I’m thankful for those of you who take the time to visit MB and therefore assure me that it’s worth continuing. Thank you! I’m thankful that hubby came back safely from a Europe now much less safer than when we left it, and for my family who accept me no matter what. Thank you! I’m thankful for the fact that there are more good people than bad people in our world. Thank you! I’m thankful for my felines who have been my companions through most of my life, and make every day a joyful one. Thank you! I’m especially thankful for being lucky enough to wake up to a new day each morning, and mourn those we have lost but will never forget. Thank you! Hope that you all had a wonderful day. Peace. » Posted By Kalima On November 26, 2015 @ 4:32 pm Republican Governors Revel in Their Cowardice And Prejudice While Empowering ISIS Wonderful article, AdLib. My first reaction was shock. My second was utter disgust. My hope is that the UN will come out to speak in opposition to these lily liveried, pea brains. For anyone who would fail to offer help to those in desperate need should not be in a position of power. It’s not just a huge embarrassment, they are disgracing America by their unfathomable decision and I hope it buries them. Just read this. The facts are embarrassing enough but that won’t stop them. When did they ever accept glaring facts? GOP Guvs Rely on ISIS Lies to Reject Syrian Refugees » Posted By Kalima On November 16, 2015 @ 6:03 pm Morning Blog 6th Anniverary Edition Thanks AdLib, I will miss all of you too as I slog along in the cold November days. If you could banish trump and his contingent of frothing haters, the world will thank you, and it will be one of the bestest Christmas presents ever. I won’t have internet connection during the election, but I plan to do a lot of praying. Do you think the hacker bots will miss me too? Maybe. They seem to enjoy coming back for some of the same. Take care and sorry to leave you with all the work. See you mid November unless we take the wrong turn and end up in Siberia. Never know, I’ve spoken my mind about Putin without restraints very often here. » Posted By Kalima On November 2, 2016 @ 5:24 pm Well, 3 more days to go. Won’t be easy, but neither is your upcoming election. Be brave, you can do this. See you after I get back. Peace and justice always. Take care gentle souls and be well. » Posted By Kalima On November 2, 2016 @ 8:01 am Thanks, Nirek, I’ll rest up after I get back. Probably sleep that week away. Peace. » Posted By Kalima On October 9, 2016 @ 12:15 am They’re so into peacekeeping that they bomb northern Kurdish towns and a UN aid convoy heading to help trapped civilians in Aleppo. I don’t believe for a second that Assad handed over all of his chemical weapons stash to Russia, or that Russia is there to only get rid of ISIS. Putin is a thief and a murderer, so they have that in common, and Russia has been waiting a long time to get a foot inside the ME. In the meantime, over 400,000 deaths, and 100 children dying every day. Who is winning? No one. Who is losing? The civilian population of Syria. The Tories escalated the immigration hate, while Farage massaged the egos of the Far Right and planned the f’up that Brexit leaves behind and is still to come for taxpayers and ordinary workers. Then the instigators and weak leaders step down to run away like the useless cowards they really are. Cheers for happy sunflowers!! » Posted By Kalima On October 8, 2016 @ 11:32 pm Hey, great to find you here! As I always say, is there anyone left that trump hasn’t insulted? This was always Putin’s goal and the reason he jumped in so quickly to control the so called surrender of Assad’s chemical weapons. He’s firmly in cahoots with Assad and his killer squad. Posted an article recently about billions of Assad’s stolen money now in a Russian bank. The last thing I read was Russia threatening U.S. planes if they try to interfere. I think that Corbyn is finally finding his feet. He won the last Labour vote again by a landslide. Good for him, he’s a sincere man for a change. There were a lot of hate crimes when we lived in London. The skinheads roamed the streets until more bobbies were dispatched. Then the Tories and Farage built up the case against immigrants lying about them taking away jobs and living the good life on welfare handouts. All debunked by experts of course but the die was cast. Love sunflowers and eat the seeds. Such happy looking flowers that always look as if they are smiling to me. 🙂 You are very welcome! » Posted By Kalima On October 8, 2016 @ 8:47 pm Good morning, Nirek. Of course they have been told how dangerous fracking is, but they are conservatives who care only about profits and not about the people whose health will suffer as a result of the fracking. The thing is that profits will take a long time, and by then the environmental damage will be irreversible. They don’t care. They don’t have to live there. We are just going for a week and it’s a duty trip not a holiday. I have to settle my father’s estate, and try to sell my house. Have to meet all his neighbours and friends, sort out his stuff and visit the double grave. Only have 4 days to do it in before we go back to London for our trip back home. Think I will sleep for the rest of November. Take care. Thanks for stopping by. See you. Peace always. » Posted By Kalima On October 7, 2016 @ 4:44 am Good Morning Everyone!
