Bill Maher demonstrates how Donald Trump has desensitized the public to outrageous statements and actions.

Damn, not only is that hilarious, but it is also very true.

Donald Trump has made reality show histrionics, internet conspiracy theories, and a crippling lack of intelligence the new norm in American politics.

Of course Donald Trump did not clear a stumbling incoherent pathway to national politics on his own, first there was she who shall not be named.

Courtesy of New York magazine:  

Donald Trump appeared on the national political stage almost eight years ago. Only then he was called “Sarah Palin.”

Yeah, her. 

Remember how way back in 2009 I told you how dangerous she was?

Remember how I said she was the prime example of where politics was going in this country?

Man, sometimes I just hate to be right.

However it also appears that Trump shares Palin's penchant for self destruction.

So perhaps after the second time there is a massive flame out by a Republican candidate on the national political stage the GOP will finally pull their collective heads out of their asses.

Or completely self destruct.

Either way works for me.

    I vote for self destruct. There's nothing worth saving at this point. Amazing how right you were about "My baby ate a dingo, any of em all of em" Palin.

      Me thinks that Palins invested in Halliburton Stock that is determined to ship arms to Syria…let me know how that audit works out for you…while Dick for Brains Cheney says the same rhetoric’s that others say is actually caught by the news people – noticing the correlation to the same answers…
      That was funny to watch…do really think we are that stupid…classic media…
      so her lapping and yapping at Faux is fixing fetishes…it’s not who you know it’s what you know…TMI…but Palin is quite the political prostitute…and Todd is the political pimp…what is new in politics…someone selling something…

    What I find incredible is the media is still giving Sarah "air time" asking for her political opinion.

    She should have been stopped, by publicizing the truth, when she resigned.

      Time to write the heads of all the TV stations and channels that actually interview her....although it's not often any longer.

      The viewership on those shows isn't anything like it use to be either - when she is on! Same thing for Trump - he's dropping horribly as to TV ratings and in the polls. Palin is already done and basically finished!

    Before Donald got into Politics he and others made reality show histrionics, internet conspiracy theories, and a crippling lack of intelligence the new norm in America! I blame reality tv, social media and cable news for dumbing down the whole country making it ripe for the likes of Sarah and Trump.

    Five months ago today, on January 18, 2016, a drunken Track Palin punched, kicked, and threatened his fiancé so badly that when the police (responding to her 911 call) arrived, they found her curled in a fetal position, hiding under a bed, sobbing.

    We subsequently learned that Jordan Loewe is pregnant. She has now announced her due date: October 7, 2016: http://registry.thebump.com/jordan-loewe-october-2016/14937266

    Assuming that's about right, that means she got pregnant around January 7, 2016. Home pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy either a week after conception or four days before a period is due. So Jordan may or may not have known she was pregnant when she was assaulted. And she may or may not have informed Track that terrible night. She was very drunk, though, so it's difficult to believe that she overindulged knowing she was pregnant.

    Any intel on whether their wedding is on again? Maybe Track will have to complete rehab first. Heh.

      Hope Jordan isn't drinking booze now that she knows she is pregnant!

      If she was horribly drunk and didn't know she was pregnant (as indicated above), damage could have already occurred to the brain of the child she is carrying!

      The Palins are one screwed up bunch - all of them need major mental help!

    Democrats pushing for gun curbs after the latest mass shooting in the United States are co-opting a Republican mantra to build public support and defang opposition: it’s time to get tough on national security.

    Shoring up national security has long been a pillar of Republican orthodoxy, as has staunch opposition to gun control.

    But the massacre of 49 people in Orlando, Florida, last Sunday, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, by a gunman who pledged loyalty to Islamist militants may be leaving Republicans on shakier ground.Democrats pushing for gun curbs after the latest mass shooting in the United States are co-opting a Republican mantra to build public support and defang opposition: it’s time to get tough on national security.

    I still find it hard to believe that the most powerful country in the world has an idiot like Trump as a presidential candidate. Will the Rebublican party ever get it's act together and realize that most people are moderates? Notice Democrats have been labeled as extreme liberals who are a bunch of wimps who hate guns while the Republicans are portrayed as the only ones with balls?

    It's not working so well for the Republicans is it. They should be embarrassed by Trump and i think they are. I believe that even the most loyal to the Rebublican party won't let Trump be in charge. He is worse than Palin and they knew they could control her because she knew nothing, Trump they can't. He would start wars and alianate our allies. He has pissed off Mexico and the United Kingdom and every civilized country in the world.He is a Demi God and fool who thinks life is some reality show. He is tacky white trash born with some money, a fake, a liar who uses women to prop his ego.

    Good God he would put Trump on the White House china!and have his tacky gold fake crap everywhere! Money doe's not equal class and Trump is a prime example.He lacks humility and patience.

    Queen Elizabeth the First said "Wars are costly and the outcome can be uncertain" Trump has no stop gap to his ego which makes an unfit ruler.

    More than 20 progressive organizations representing millions of voters are putting their weight behind a five-point agenda for the next stage of Wall Street reform. What these groups formally announced May 24, in an event featuring Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, sets a high but practical standard for what a candidate would have to embrace to be considered a progressive on reining in the financial sector.

    When I use to travel outside Alaska, people would ask me about Palin in that damned adoring tone, now they just laugh in that demeaning way that implies they are having the last laugh at my expense. I hereby let all of you outside of Alaska know that we Alaskans didn't even know what a douchbag the woman was and in her two year term as she unraveled we slowly realized that the Republicans had voted this nutcase in. I mean they were all sold on her and she primped those little breast into their faces with an impish smile that blinded them all. Glad she's out, and hope it stays that way. And please no more jokes our way. Her people are not even from here. Heard Wasilla is swarming with the likes of her. The holier than thou racist types. I've never been there so can't say.
