Yeah, it's hilarious how transparent he is.  I saw Jim's exchange with him that went off the rails - next he'll be asking me about my sex life, too. Beyond creepy.

Nothing like a really great graphic to put things in perspective.

BTW-Hello everyone. I figured it was a good time to end my exile from this forum and AM. I do have a few things to sell, both astronomy and musically related.

I did reread the last weeks posts and see someone else is on a little self imposed vacation.  LOL. He does get riled up. 

Oh, My grocery salesman was just here. I asked if he had any of the new Clorox Chewable's.

 
That video is absolutely cringe-worthy. For all the comedians around the world, he is the gift who keeps on giving. Who needs comedy writers anymore?

So I guess you think that speech he gave will convince people to vote for him? You didn't find it the least bit funny?  I don't know about you, but I don't need to wait until November - I'm laughing now! That video is priceless.
