I long for the civility…maybe there never was, but at least in public it appeared so

Is this real?

yeah…I question that at this point too…

i spent a few minutes trying to confirm if that awful statement did, in fact, come from you-know-how because goddamit, it's written like a parody of what you'd expect him to say.  i could not 100% confirm it, mostly because the publisher - Save America PAC - doesn't have a website.  what.  the.  actual.  fuck.  search for it and you get a link to a "donate now" page on winred.com (which is just a fundraising/transaction service).  how can they not have a website?

anyhoo, i couldn't go straight to the source since there isn't any, however the veracity of the statement has been questioned by many and the most common response is that the statement was issue via a fundraising email that many folks state is real.

yes, trump has become a parody of himself.

I watched Bosom Buddies when it was on way back when. At the time, I thought Scolari was going to be the bigger star.
