Here's a clip of Obama mocking Trump in 2011, the night of the Bin Laden operation. It brings me peace. https://t.co/NPCd8zS3nI

Look at Trump’s face in that video. Get the feeling he’s still bitter about that evening?
He’s not getting much love from the “experts” with their “facts”…
Q: So could you actually bar Muslims from the U.S.?
A: Constitutional law expert: “Oh, for the love of God."

Thinks about it… thinks about it… yeah, this is actually the stupidest/most offensive thing Trump has said. pic.twitter.com/g6rPj7sLwt

Military commanders condemn anti-Muslim bigotry b/c it chills mil-mil relationships w/ Muslim-majority states. There's an operational cost.

Whatever happens, this is an historic day in the history of the @realDonaldTrump campaign.

Electoral considerations may have pushed Trump to make statement abt Muslims. In a way, this makes it even scarier. pic.twitter.com/3rj8shrM5X

But once the “Pumpkin-flavored arsenic marshmallow“ can get in touch with Bill Gates (why no “my very good friend Bill”? Has Melinda been refusing to take The Donald’s calls?) all us internet snarksters are gonna be laughing out of the other side of our mouths. Per the Verge:
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump just said the US should consider “closing up” the internet to curb radical extremism. Trump, a man that routinely claims everyone in charge of the US is stupid, believes that as president he could just call up Bill Gates to help him shut off the internet. Trump floated the idea at a campaign rally at the USS Yorktown in South Carolina tonight as a way to stop ISIS “jihadists” from recruiting Americans to commit acts of domestic terrorism. The idea is so dumb it almost has us, too, at a loss for words.
“We’re losing a lot of people because of the internet,” Trump said. “We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what’s happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. Somebody will say, ‘Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.’ These are foolish people.”…

Apart from mocking the monsters, what’s on the agenda for the day?
