Donald Trump openly expresses admiration for President of China's power grab, while behind the scenes his frustration and anger threatens to overwhelm him.

Courtesy of CNN:

President Donald Trump bemoaned a decision not to investigate Hillary Clinton after the 2016 presidential election, decrying a "rigged system" that still doesn't have the "right people" in place to fix it, during a freewheeling speech to Republican donors in Florida on Saturday. 

In the closed-door remarks, a recording of which was obtained by CNN, Trump also praised China's President Xi Jinping for recently consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn't mind making such a maneuver himself. 

"He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day." 

The remarks, delivered inside the ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago estate during a lunch and fundraiser, were upbeat, lengthy, and peppered with jokes and laughter. But Trump's words reflected his deeply felt resentment that his actions during the 2016 campaign remain under scrutiny while those of his former rival, Hillary Clinton, do not. 

"I'm telling you, it's a rigged system folks," Trump said. "I've been saying that for a long time. It's a rigged system. And we don't have the right people in there yet. We have a lot of great people, but certain things, we don't have the right people."

What President Xi did was push to abolish term limits, effectively making him China's leader for life.

If President Obama had even hinted at such a thing, there would be outrage echoing throughout Washington, and it would be subject one on every Sunday morning talk show in the country.

Especially if the public were aware of what was in this Washington Post report as well: 

Inside the White House, aides over the past week have described an air of anxiety and volatility — with an uncontrollable commander in chief at its center. 

These are the darkest days in at least half a year, they say, and they worry just how much farther President Trump and his administration may plunge into unrest and malaise before they start to recover. As one official put it: “We haven’t bottomed out.” 

Trump is now a president in transition, at times angry and increasingly isolated. He fumes in private that just about every time he looks up at a television screen, the cable news headlines are trumpeting yet another scandal. He voices frustration that son-in-law Jared Kushner has few on-air defenders. He revives old grudges. And he confides to friends that he is uncertain about whom to trust.

In an unorthodox presidency in which emotion, impulse and ego often drive events, Trump’s ominous moods manifested themselves last week in his zigzagging positions on gun control; his shock trade war that jolted markets and was opposed by Republican leaders and many in his own administration; and his roiling feud of playground insults with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Retired four-star Army general Barry McCaffrey said the American people — and Congress especially — should be alarmed. 

“I think the president is starting to wobble in his emotional stability and this is not going to end well,” McCaffrey said. “Trump’s judgment is fundamentally flawed, and the more pressure put on him and the more isolated he becomes, I think, his ability to do harm is going to increase.”

Trump is becoming increasingly isolated within that White House, feeling abandoned and increasingly mistrustful, left only with his increasing madness to keep him company.

Even his attempts at levity are tinged with darkness and insecurities.

Courtesy of Variety:

President Donald Trump joked about impeachment, Jared Kushner’s security clearance and Melania Trump leaving him as he attended his first Gridiron Club dinner, a highly formal and traditional event full of the news media he often dubs “fake news.”

A number of his quips made fun of the atmosphere in the West Wing after a chaotic week, what with more staff departures and rumors of more to come. 

“It’s been really another calm week at the White House,” he quipped. “We finally have it running like a fine-tuned machine.” 

He was joined on the dais by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, and the most controversial joke of the evening involved her. 

“I like turnover. I like chaos. It really is good. Now the question everybody keeps asking is, ‘Who is going to be the next to leave? Steve Miller or Melania?”

Trump is known for saying out loud the things that are bothering him or frightening him, and then attempting to pass them off as jokes.

Trump also tried to joke about Jared Kushner's security clearance,  the attention Mike Pence pays to news about impeachment, and his difficult relationship with Jeff Sessions.

You do not have to have a PHD in Psychology to recognize that he finds none of those topics actually humorous.

Trump is crumbling before our eyes.

And we can only hope that when he finally snaps, he does not take the whole country down with him.

Booed by a roomful of priests. Donald Trump makes history at the Al Smith Dinner.

You can see the moment that Trump loses the room.

It is at the 12:36 mark where Trump "jokes" that Clinton is so corrupt that she was kicked off the Watergate Commission. And then he just keeps on digging himself into an every deepening hole.

And when he accused Hillary of hating Catholics I thought we might actually see a church sanctioned lynching.

I have no idea what Trump was thinking, but if he was thinking that he wanted to lose the Catholic vote, he might have made a little progress in that area.

Here was how ABC News reported on the event:

The dinner in New York, to benefit charity, is supposed to be a light-hearted roast where the presidential candidates take jabs at themselves and each other, but the event came just a day after the particularly nasty third presidential debate. 

During the debate, the candidates didn't shake hands or acknowledge each other before or after the forum. 

Trump, who spoke first, tried at first to keep things light-hearted, but quickly turned to harsh criticism about Clinton, who he described as “corrupt.” His remarks drew boos from the crowd, unprecedented for the event in the memories of observers. 

“Hillary believes it's vital to deceive the people by having one public policy. And a totally different policy in private. That's okay,” he said, to boos from the crowd. “I don't know who they're angry at, Hillary, you or I? For example, here she is tonight in public, pretending not to hate Catholics.”

My understanding is that the candidates hire their own joke writers to help them with their speeches, however it appears that Trump's joke writers are the same trolls who send those emails of Michelle Obama as a chimp, and Hillary Clinton being burned as a witch.

I heard repeatedly on cable news that this is the FIRST time in the history of this Al Smith dinner than anybody has ever been booed. And remember this was a room full of priests!

So I think it is only fair to also post Hillary's remarks.

As you will see her joke writers actually had some talent, and her delivery was a little more in keeping with the mood of the event. See? There were still a few barbed remarks, and jokes at Trump's expense, but in no way did Hillary overstep any boundaries or lose the crowd.

And besides that some of her jokes were actually funny.

I almost think this dinner served as a microcosm of the two campaigns.

There's Hillary, disciplined, prepared, and self deprecating.

And then there's Trump, angry, humorless, and nasty to his core.

P.S. Oh there was at least one person who was more upset by Hillary's remarks than Trump's.

Courtesy of HuffPo:

During her spiel, Clinton gave a shout-out to the “wonderful elected officials” in the room. “The honorable Chuck Schumer. The honorable Andrew Cuomo. The honorable Mike Bloomberg.” 

“And, we have Rudy Giuliani,” she said to laughs. 

The camera panned to his face in the crowd. There was nothing even resembling a smile going on there. It was just a scowl and a pair of lopsided glasses hanging on his nose. 

Okay now THAT'S funny!

New Frontline investigation confirms that it is quite likely that Donald Trump's campaign was inspired by President Obama mocking him at the 2011 White House Correspondent's Dinner.

Courtesy of Yahoo:

It was a painful moment for Donald Trump. As he sat in his tuxedo at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Obama mercilessly mocked him as a loony conspiracy theorist. The real estate mogul, grim-faced, watched helplessly, unable to respond, while hundreds of journalists and their celebrity guests convulsed in laughter. 

But it may also have been a transformative moment, according to a new “Frontline” documentary on the presidential race, called “The Choice 2016,” which airs next Tuesday night on PBS. “I think that is the night that he resolves to run for president,” Roger Stone, a longtime Trump adviser and confidant, says in the film. “I think that he is kind of motivated by it. ‘Maybe I’ll just run. Maybe I’ll show them all.’”

Donald Trump himself has dismissed this idea as silly, but it WOULD seem to match what we know about Trump and his thin skin,

Here is what his friend Omarosa had to say about that night: 

Omarosa Manigault, the former “Apprentice” star who now serves as director of African-American outreach for the Trump campaign, notes that when she talked to Trump at the start of the evening — he was a guest of the Washington Post, no less — “he was in just such a great mood. And he was very jovial.”

But as the president “kept going and going and he just kept hammering him,” Trump’s mood changed, she says. His face became “incredibly serious. He just put on a poker face.” And by the time the skewering was over, she suggests, Trump wanted payback. 

“Every critic, every detractor will have to bow down to President Trump,” Manigault says. “It’s everyone who’s ever doubted Donald, whoever disagreed, whoever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.”

Well if that does not chill your blood I don't know what would.

I have already gone on record as suggesting that this was likely the moment that Trump decided to teach President Obama and the smug journalists in the room laughing at him a lesson.

I just think it's obvious.

After all Donald Trump had made a living out of manipulating the dumbest human beings on the planet by convincing them that he was some kind of super capitalist, now all he had to do was reach out to their friends and neighbors, who were just as stupid, and convince them that he would be a super President.

After all how could he fail, he is white.

I still don't think he really wants it. 

But he wants to know that if he wanted it he could have it, and he wants his enemies to know it as well.

President Obama needles Republicans during Gridiron Club dinner.

Courtesy of AOL:  

Getting older changes a guy, President Barack Obama says, and he admits he's getting crankier. 

"Next week I'm signing an executive order to get off my lawn," Obama joked Saturday night at the Gridiron Club and Foundation's annual dinner. On top of that, the nation's graying chief executive says he's having trouble now with his morning cup of joe. "Coffee really disagrees with me these days," he says, "which is why John Boehner just invited coffee to address the joint House." 

Obama's standup routine drew laughs from the audience of more than 650 journalists, lawmakers, administration officials, military officials and others at the Gridiron's 130th gathering. By tradition, Washington insiders put aside their differences for an evening of laughter, schmoozing and charity fundraising. 

Obama targeted himself - "Just a few years ago I couldn't imagine being in my 50s. Given my approval ratings, I still can't" - as well as people in the government and the media that cover it. 

Noting that Walker remarked recently that he couldn't say whether Obama was a Christian, the president said his religion taught forgiveness and cracked, "So, Gov. Walker, salaam alaikum." 

Obama said he generally likes Boehner, the House speaker, and noted talk of unhappy House Republicans planning a coup - "or as Bill O'Reilly calls it, 'reporting from the war zone.'"

The Obama Diary has essentially the whole performance by the President, which includes these knee slappers:

Governors Walker and Perry are not the only possible 2016-ers here tonight. We also have Dr. Ben Carson. He wants to make it clear that being here was a choice. The fact is, Doctor, embracing homosexuality is not something you do because you go to prison. It’s something you do because your Vice President can’t keep a secret on “Meet the Press.” (Laughter.) 

And we can’t just focus on 2016, people. We just had an election. This new Congress is just getting started, which is why I want to acknowledge the leader of the House Republicans — as soon as I figure out who that is. (Laughter.)

And as much as I like to make fun of my friends in the GOP and the media, it’s not like this is an easy time to be a Democrat. They’re turning last year’s midterms into a movie; it’s called “50 Shades of Red.” 

But, as was noted, we are determined to bounce back. The Democratic Party recently analyzed the midterm elections, and concluded we have to spend more time focused on older white voters — which is why I’m here. (Laughter and applause.)

Ahh the Comedian-in-Chief strikes again. 

Hey you know maybe Jon Stewart can hang in there for another two years and Obama can take over the Daily Show when he finishes out his second term next year.

I mean it's not nearly as prestigious as becoming a Supreme Court Justice, but I know I'd watch.

Alaska still a little sensitive about their biggest embarrassment.

You know we used to get teased about living in igloos, and having polar bears for pets, but since 2008 it has been nothing but jokes about Sarah Palin.

Personally I would LOVE to have somebody give me shit about living in an igloo.

Handful of Sarah Palin defenders, and daughter, fuming that people who make jokes about her, or play her in movies they don't like, keep getting awards!

After Julianne Moore  and Game Change won their awards the other day, I was actually waiting for the Grizzled Mama to rear her road kill bewigged head and roar from the asylum on the dead lake, but, you know, nothing.

Instead what I found was a cupful of urine tossed their by the Sea O'Pee:

Can someone please give Moore and Harris a copy of “Undefeated”, Steve Bannon’s documentary (read: fact filled, historically based film)? Sadly, Moore still lives under the liberal rocks otherwise known as Hollywood and Manhattan: 

"In her acceptance speech, Moore thanked comedian Tina Fey and former CBS anchor Katie Couric for making “a significant difference in the 2008 election.” Fey famously mocked Palin on Saturday Night Live, and Couric won plaudits for an interview with Palin in which the vice presidential nominee seemed flustered and unprepared."

And then give her a copy of Governor Palin’s book, Going Rogue, and Chuck Heath Sr. and Chuck Heath Jr.’s book, Our Sarah. Perhaps then she will fully grasp the errors of her thinking.

Yes, what reliable reference materiel THAT would be.

The only person even vaguely connected to Palin these days to speak out publicly about the awards, was Palin's house boy and loyal butt sniffer Jason Recher. Who said this to CNN:

"It comes as no surprise that the Hollywood Foreign Press recognized another Hollywood group, HBO, for their work of fiction and awarded a prize for best fictional filmmaking,” Recher told CNN. “The reality was an original American story, not a screenplay by people who only imagined events to fit their fiction." 

"The media is reporting last night was Hollywood shining the light on and celebrating women,” he said. “It’s clear however they only celebrate women who fit their political ideology. Women who don’t conform to their liberal values are torn down in terribly harsh ways - a clear double standard which was awarded last night.” 

Yes Hollywood should cover for a person's incredible ignorance and lack of preparation in order to "celebrate" women on both sides of the political aisle. Good call that.

Now the only Palin family member to make a statement recently was Bristol, who was too distracted by the fact that HER nemesis, David Letterman, had told Oprah that he was not REALLY apologetic over a joke he tried to tell about Bristol that, appeared at least, to accidentally be about her sister Willow instead:

In other words, he only apologized so he could continue to make fun of my family. He didn’t mean to joke about Willow being raped, after all. He meant to joke about me being knocked up. Now, that’s a real knee-slapper. 

A notorious liberal, David Letterman’s lack of sorrow for his child rape “joke” shows just how pro-women his politics really are. 

Yes Bristol that was only FOUR years ago, so of course why would anybody expect you to get over it and move on? After all outrage over how the Palin clan is treated is your family's bread and butter.

Isn't that why everybody but Trig has written a book? To "set the record straight?"

Only it seems that every time we read one of these books we are left saying, "That's even worse than I thought!" or "Wait, so reality is only as a Palin family member defines it?"

Oh you Palin people, what WILL you do with yourselves when people finally stop making jokes about that family and nobody even remembers what a fucked up bunch of redneck hillbillies they were?

Update: I alluded to this in the headline but forgot to include it, but I also think that one of the reasons that Brancy brought up this whole David Letterman thing is because he was also recently honored at the Kennedy Center. (Probably didn't help that Tina Fey was the one who did his presentation.)

David Letterman confesses to Oprah that he only apologized to Sarah Palin so that he could continue to make fun of her.

OPRAH WINFREY: I saw the apology that you made to Sarah Palin’s daughter. It seemed that you were genuinely apologetic there. 

WINFREY NARRATION: After Sarah Palin attended a New York Yankees game with her 14-year-old daughter Willow, David cracked a sex joke about a baseball player and the young girl. Letterman says he thought Sarah Palin was with her oldest daughter, Bristol, who made headlines when she became pregnant at age 17. 

WINFREY TO LETTERMAN: Why did you apologize? 

LETTERMAN: I’ll tell you why I apologized. I felt like Sarah Palin was somebody I wanted to continue to be able to make fun of and I felt like if I don’t apologize, if I don’t sincerely express my regret, I will not be able to go forward making fun of her. And truly, I felt bad for the 14-year-old. You know, that was just like, oh nice going, you got the wrong daughter. That was just dumb, stupid joke that fell into dumb luck and got worse.

You know Sarah Palin, and the Right Wing noise machine. blew this WAY out of proportion when it happened to continue the meme that Sarah Palin was being unfairly attacked by the Left.

I always believed that pretty much everybody knew that he meant Bristol, simply because SHE was the one who had a child out of wedlock. It would only have been a funny joke if it was Bristol, and by the way it was pretty funny.

I remember yelling "NO" at the screen when i heard Letterman apologize because I KNEW that it fed into their victimization mythology and that it would set a bad precedent for others who wanted to make jokes about the family or expose the truth about who they really were.

As it turned out I kind of think that Letterman's apology emboldened them enough that they felt confident in threatening Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore with a lawsuit a month later, and then of course also came after me.

However in the interest of wanting to continue making fun of Sarah Palin one can hardly blame Letterman for doing what he felt he had to in order to get back to the jokes.

P.S. By the way at the end of this video Oprah asks Letterman if he ever felt bad about hurting someone's feelings with a joke, he replies that he has and that he has even called to apologize after ward a number of times.

I think we can say with some confidence that he NEVER called Sarah Palin. Because if he had it would have been broadcast ALL OVER Fox News.

(H/T to Mediaite.)

Well this should make Sarah Palin's night. Update!

She got mentioned at the White Ho sue Correspondents Dinner by the President!

You just KNOW she is dancing around her crazy ass compound, overlooking the lake of the damned, in her leopard print Spanx and push up water bra filled with red Bull screaming into her Blackberry at RAM to "Get those chubby digits typing, and this time make me sound SMART dammit!"

By the way the President was on fire tonight, and was almost Colbert-fearless with his delivery.

That Newt Gingrich joke was awesome!  "Newt, there's still time man!"

I will have much more video up tomorrow, but for those that watched it live, what did you think?

Update: For those who missed it, here is the transcript of Obama's remarks  at the White House Correspondence Dinner.

Yet another Sarah Palin book.

Yes I know, there have been a TON of books about Sarah Palin, and we have already discussed many of them here. (Trust me there are still more to come!)

In fact there are so many that I don't always take the time to mention them. However I AM mentioning this one, because rather than provide a description of what the book is, the "About the Book" section of the website instead has what's listed below, under the heading "What Conservatives Say About Sarah Palin  :

Sarah Palin “represents a fatal cancer to the Republican Party.” –Syndicated columnist, commentator David Brooks. 

“If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.” –Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kathleen Parker. 

“Even at McDonald’s you're interviewed three times before you're given the job.” –President Ronald Reagan’s chief of staff Ken Duberstein on the vetting of Palin. 

“I think it’s a stretch to–in any way–say that she’s got the experience to be president of the United States. She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials. You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. You can’t say anything” –GOP Senator Chuck Hagel on John McCain’s selection of Palin as his running mate. 

“Now I must say I did not think that . . . the Katie Couric interviews were unfair. In fact, if anything, Katie Couric was extraordinarily gentle, even helpful. [Palin] just . . . I don't know what happened. I can't explain it. It was not a good interview. I'm being charitable.” –Fox News commentator Mike Huckabee on Palin’s interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric. 

“She is the biggest joke to be put on a ticket in national politics.” –Journalist and blogger Andrew Sullivan. 

“She makes George W. Bush sound like Cicero.” –Columnist and Beliefnet.com blogger Rod Dreher. 

“I’m still proud of Sarah, but she scares the bejeebers out of me.” –Wasilla, Alaska, city council member and Palin’s first campaign manager Laura Chase. 

“She comes on TV and says, `I want to once again confirm that neither I nor my staff ever holds closed-door meetings.’ Well, we had just been in a closed-door meeting for an hour and a half.” –Alaska Senate president Lyda Green on Palin’s transparency–or lack of–while serving as governor. 

“We're not talking about a great statesman of profound experience whose banner is integrity. We're talking about somebody who, right from the get-go, has been a flashy person who gets into a lot of trouble and really has no credentials for any job . . . I mean, she just begs for adjectives like flaky and wacky. It's very easy to say that the liberal media is caving in on her, and yes, they are; but she has given them a lot of raw meat. The woman is inarticulate, undereducated.” –Fox News commentator Liz Trotta.

I don't know about all of you but I just REALLY enjoyed reading that!

If you agree, and wish to read more, you can go here to purchase this book.

If you are wondering about the author, Chris Lamb, this is his description, via the Huffington Post:

Chris Lamb is a communication professor at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, where he teaches courses in journalism, politics, and, satire. His columns and articles have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated. He is the author of five books.

This is the way I like to see Sarah Palin, reduced to the subject of numerous jokes and humorous one liners told at her expense.

I could not have planned it better if I had tried. Oh, wait....I think I did!

The dastardly duo of Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity continue their assault on President Obama. Their choice of weapons? Bill Maher, David Letterman, and Bristol Palin's ghostwritten blog.

I have to say that I find it rather fascinating that in order to hold their "poor Sarah pity party" these Fox hosts first feel it necessary to show all of the jokes about how stupid she is. It almost makes me wonder if they are not getting their OWN shots in before they have to meet their contractual agreement to defend Klondike Kardashian.

In any event I think some of those jokes are still pretty damn funny, and I like the idea that they keep being shown to Fox viewers, because you just KNOW that some of them are laughing at her too.

And it only makes it MORE humorous that, since this interview, like so many before it, is solely focused on bitching about how Palin was "treated" by the comedians, that she starts off by saying that it doesn't bother her.  Obviously it's drives her fucking crazy, THAT is why this segment exists!

After that opening Hannity, essentially frothing at the mouth (Doesn't Santorum have "frothing" copyrighted?), discusses Michelle Obama's recent appearance on the Letterman Show in a pathetic attempt to smear her by bringing up a three year old joke.

Palin's response is to take hypocrisy on a steroid binge:

"Yeah see you have a choice as to whether you will participate in that environment of the Leno's, uh not necessarily Jay Leno, he's been relatively good, but the Letterman's, and the Bill Maher's, some of the ESPN sports network teams even that have been..really ruthless against unwed teenage mothers, and those with handicaps (The entire Palin family), and women, and Christians, and Conservatives. You have a choice as to whether you will perpetuate what it is they spew by being a participant or not, and I choose not to."

Really Sarah? YOU are not a participant when somebody says horrendous things about women? Is that your claim?

Courtesy of Politico:

“I think the definition of hypocrisy is for Rush Limbaugh to have been called out, forced to apologize and retract what it is that he said in exercising his First Amendment rights and never is that the same applied to the leftist radicals who say such horrible things about the handicapped, about women, about the defenseless,” Palin told CNN in an interview from Wasilla, Alaska. 

“So I think that’s the definition of hypocrisy, and that’s my two cents for you,” she added.

Essentially the entire reason that this attack on Bill Maher, and President Obama, has been launched using the Palin family as a cudgel, has been to provide a false equivalency smoke screen to protect Rush Limbaugh. Who is currently suffering greatly for attacking Sandra Fluke, and suggesting that she was a prostitute, a whore, and asking that she post tapes of herself having sex so that Limbaugh and others could watch them.

Palin apparently had NO trouble "being a participant" in that controversy. Did she?

Hannity quickly segues into discussing the post on Bristol Palin's Nancy French's new blog, as if Bristol had actually written it. And the Grizzled Mama does her part by pretending that she was not the person behind the site and is NOT using it in order to hide behind her children while continuing her attacks on the Left and President Obama.

But in her fervor to attack President Obama, Palin unabashedly lies about yet another three year old incident: 

"Kind of the point that Bristol was trying to make in calling out the President, and the hypocrisy there on the Left, is that our own President, mocking children and adults with special needs as he referred, mockingly, on late nigh talk show about um you know, acting goofy like those in the Special Olympics. You know that was kind of a hurtful thing for the heart of our country. And I don't think the President ever apologized for that for that. He's got very selective ways of showing compassion and feeling America's pain. Bristol was just kind of pointing out some of that, and I think it was very effective the way she did it."

Of course that entire statement about the President not apologizing after making the Special Olympics joke, which by the way was on the Jay Leno show, is ridiculous. In fact the President called the Chairman of the Special Olympic board BEFORE THE JOKE EVEN AIRED to apologize.

"He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, I think, in a way that was very moving," Tim Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics board, told "Good Morning America" today. 

"He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population, certainly didn't want to embarrass or give anybody any more reason for pain or just suffering, I would say," said Shriver, who received the call from Obama as the president was flying back to Washington. 

 "He was very sincere, expressed an interest and an openness in being more engaged in the movement, and said he was a fan of the movement and I think, importantly, he said he was ready to have some of our athletes over to the White House to bowl or play basketball or help him improve his score."

Nice try you lunatic, but this President has been very consistent in taking into consideration the needs of ALL Americans when he makes policy decisions, or speaks out on an issue, or inadvertently makes a gaffe.

And speaking of apologizing, when did YOU apologize for claiming the President "Palled around with domestic terrorists?" Or when you claimed that the Affordable Care Act contained "death panels?" And where was your apology to Gabrielle Giffords when your constant hate-filled rhetoric, as well as placing gunsights on her district, resulted in her being shot in the face?

Oh that's right, never!

Update: Here is that link to Palin's Facebook post featuring multiple pictures of Trig looking very cute and happy.  And, as has been noted by others, Sarah is not in ANY of the pictures.

Go figure.
