After Donald Trump whored for more free publicity made a public offer to buy the Not-Ground-Zero Not-Mosque site, Gawker made a public offer to pay Trump to shut up.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.
Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.
We’re not going back!
No one could have predicted…
“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”
Good lord, these people are nuts.
Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Well, the newest season of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” premiers on NBC on September 16th, and NBC’s sister network MSNBC hosted Trump (via phone) on “Morning Joe” today to discuss his offer.
I’m sure this is all just a coincidence of unfortunate timing and has nothing to do with getting his name in the press just two weeks before the season premier of his TV show, and the fact that Trump’s show appears on NBC and he phoned in for an exclusive to MSNBC was nothing but happenstance as far as the network is concerned. And besides, Donald Trump has never been one to engage in such crass self-promotion, after all. Nope. Not Trump.

Amazing how bored Trump is already now that Craigslist took down its sex ads.

Just read an article about the guy running Foxconn, tech supplier to Apple and HP. One blurb:
And later he says he wants to automate processes in the US so it will be even cheaper. Of course, he says “competitive” but I think we know what he means.

@Corner Stone:
wow, he sounds great. Won’t be long till he makes friends with the Koch Bros and they figure out a way to just flat out enslave us all. And to be clear, I mean enslave us beyond keeping us addicted to all the gadgets and oil.
It’s straight out of Dickens that guy….

@JenJen:
And it’s completely accidental that MSNBC took a call from Trump a few weeks before his show begins to air on NBC. They’ve never been the kind of network that would manipulate the news to promote an entertainment show. Totally serendipitous.

Trump is a chump with dubious hair.
Corner Stone
@BGinCHI: I suggest we prepare ourselves to have very clear minds.
JenJen
@Violet: To the contrary! Mika insisted that the only, ONLY reason Donald Trump called in to “Morning Joe” today was because they are close, personal friends. It was very reassuring, don’t you think?
Violet
@JenJen:
So reassuring! Who doesn’t like to have their phone calls with their close, personal friends live on TV in front of millions of viewers? That’s the best way to stay in touch with your friends. It’s a mere coincidence that Mika happens to work on the sister station of the one on which Trump’s show will air. What a small world!

Donald Trump is such a terrible businessman that he managed to bankrupt himself running a casino. You really have to work hard to lose money in a business where people come in and voluntarily hand you fistfuls of cash in exchange for you letting them play card games on your premises.

Sigh. I managed to put myself into moderation by pointing out that only an idiot could lose money running a hotel in Atlantic City. Can someone fish me out of there?

Oh good gawd. Yglesias:
Yes, that’s a Politico link so do what you will. It leads to a screaming-headline story titled “President Obama Goes Ringless at Presser” wherein a handful of WH correspondents squeal about “the big to-do.” I shit you not.

Trump is an incredible moron always inserting himself into whatever the news of the day is. His hair is a ground zero in and of itself, so maybe the Center can move to Trump’s forhead.

@JenJen:
Happened to have Limbaugh on when I was in the car today and he mentioned this. Then followed with, “I’m not saying there’s anything going on there. That’s for you guys [the listeners] to do.” Nice.

Trump is as much of a self-made man as Paris Hilton.
Shit, she’s probably done more honest work.
He’s yet another nepotistic fail-up fameball, I wish he would just finish wasting all his family’s money already.

Trump is the Balloon Dad for 2010.
