"Not!"
It's like arguing with a teenager who stinks of Red Bull and vodka.#debatenight— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) September 27, 2016
Trump’s stressing the BE AFRAID BE AFRAID (Stolen jobs! ISIS! Financial Bubble! Negro Thinks-He’s-President Playing Golf! We’re being ripped off by every country!) meme — it’s his go-to move but I don’t think it’s gonna impress anyone but his base.
Right now he’s explaining — again! — that he can’t release his tax returns because he’s being audited “very unfairly”.
tonight, we are pretty much sending Hillary Clinton to drill into a giant asteroid & nuke it from the inside before it can destroy the earth
