MSNBC’s Peter Alexander just reported that while Japanese Prime Minister Abe was giving his opening remarks, Trump wasn’t using the translation device — yet was nodding along as if he understood.

I guess he knows ‘the best’ languages.

Will we get a decoder ring with a Trump presidency?

One of the things Trump said during tonight’s debate that I hope will get more attention was his response to Anderson Cooper’s question on whether he understood he was admitting to sexual assault where he dismissed his comments as locker room talk and referred to them as ‘just words.’

Trump doesn’t seem to realize the world takes the ‘words’ of a candidate for President of the United States seriously. So when he talks about “second amendment people” taking care of Hillary, or talks about dating his daughter or calls for “A total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” or so many other outrageous things, we take him at his word. As we’re now becoming accustomed to — his statements are later explained by him or his surrogates as ‘just words’ or just ‘Trump being Trump’ or that he didn’t really mean it.

How are we to know which is which? Will he provide us with a decoder ring so we can determine which things he means and which are ‘just words?’ Is it just his lewd sexual comments that are simply locker room talk and untrue? If so — then surely his suggestion that there was “no problem” with the size of his penis falls into that category.

If there really are any undecided voters left at this point I would simply ask them to visualize a President Trump going to the G8 summit or any other event where he represents all Americans and ask themselves if they won’t be holding their breath hoping he doesn’t use ‘just words’ when speaking for them.

I just listened to Wayne LaPierre's idea for keeping our school's safe, and in a nutshell, he wants to put armed guards in schools. In Wayne's world, there's too much gun violence in schools, so we should put someone with a gun in the school.

If nothing is done regarding the expiring Bush Tax cuts, the argument goes, millions of middle class Americans who are barely paying their bills now suddenly won't be able to afford to continue on because their taxes will go up an average of $3000/year.

Scary stuff right?

I heard from my 4th grade daughter last night that they held a mock election for Minnesota governor in their class between the Democrat Mark Dayton, the Republican Tom Emmer and the Independent Tom Hoerner. She told me she voted for Mark Dayton, which warmed my heart a bit since we'd never really discussed politics much, though she knows my wife and I are both Democrats. Then she told me something that made my heart sink through the floor.

She said her best friend told her that Mark Dayton wanted to kill all the babies, and that was why she was voting for Tom Emmer.

I was shocked to say the least, after all where would a 9 year old even come up with such an idea. "You know that's not true, right?" I asked her. She immediately replied "Yes, I know, that's what I told her. But she said 'No, it's true, my Mom told me!'"

There, I said it. And I'll say it again - "We'd be better off with Saddam still in power!"

Why is that so hard for people to hear - much less say? Simple - it requires too much explanation.

The ace up the sleeve of every Tom, Dick and Hannity whenever an argument over Iraq isn't going their way is to pull out the old "Is the world better off without Saddam Hussein?" And it works every time, heck it even stopped Rosie O'Donnell in her tracks. Read More
