TRUMP To MoDo: "When You're A President Who Has Destroyed The Lives Of Probably A Million People..."
Maureen Dowd: Trump Fired Up.

How about those other international party girls, the Bush twins?

“When you’re a president who has destroyed the lives of probably a million people, our soldiers and Iraqis who are maimed and killed — you see children going into school in Baghdad with no arms and legs — I don’t think Bush’s kids should be having lots of fun in Argentina,” he says.

5. Hey Santa, you left out a 'ho'
I'm pleased Trump has something a little more intelligent to say besides railing at a frumpy loudmouth who is paid to spout outrageous things.

:toast: :hi:

12. I think MSNBC is being racially offensive.
I mean, by calling her "The White Ho," are they implying that all black women are by definition "hos"?

I think we should stage a protest rally.

2. You know things are screwed up...

....when a multi-billionaire is more of a "man of the people" than our own 'elected' President.

3. I never expected Trump to say anything like that
ever in a million years.

Good on the Donald!

6. Well damn.
After reading that article I think I could be a fan of The Donald.
Interesting outspokenness.

7. I can't stand the Donald
but for once he's said something I can agree with.

Unfortunately it's true - Bush has destroyed the lives of at least a million people. And for several generations to come.

8. I agree with a lot he said in this article, esp. colon bowell...
too late colon, way too late to start to look like a man....you lied for the bush at the U.N. and we won't forget. I don't feel as though Gore and Kerry ran the best of campaigns but I love both men and would give each another chance.

21. Secretary of State Colon Bowell
kind of says it all. ROTFL!!!!!
Thanks for the belly laugh Mend!
Bowell's fake integrity is as transparent as it is appropriate for ridicule.

to super-cuts.

11. A whole hell of a lot more than a million people!
If there's 600K deaths in Iraq from *'s war, each one of them must have family. Not to mention that for each death there is probably another dozen or more with serious, life-long injuries; lost limbs, eyes, minds, etc. Probably more in the area of 10 million lives destroyed. That's just in Iraq.

16. While agree with your statistics...
I think that "a million" was probably the right choice rhetorically speaking. "A billion" would have wound up with Flush and the Reprehensible Chorus spouting more drivel claiming he was lying; and "a million" in this case stands in for "a bazillion" or "a jillion" or whatever other rhetorical nonsense word you want to use for a large number.

The Donald is a businessman. Part of the problem with the neocons is that they put businesses in a space where they have few choices if they wish to survive but to do things that are not socially, environmentally, or even in some cases financially responsible. The Donald doesn't like that, and Bill Gates has, I think, started to convince some of the businessmen that perhaps they ought to be fighting that. Hate on the rich all you like, but let's try to keep in mind that at least some of them are people very much like the rest of us. When they do something and it results in the death of a forest, or a city, they feel guilty, and this molds their actions, to the extent that they are members of our society and capable of some sort of objective evaluation of the consequences of their actions. A great deal of my anger toward the neocons is that they actively refuse to acknowledge the consequences of their actions; I believe John Dean hit the nail on the head, Conservatives Without Conscience indeed. Maybe The Donald read it, and perhaps he was even influenced by it.

One last point: is it OK to be prejudiced against rich people? Should they not be judged based on their actions, just as we judge ourselves and others around us? Can they not change their opinions, change their course of action to suit, and gain cred they might have lost in the past by acting badly?

I'm going to have to lie down.

14. Trump rocks!
If The Donald cut his hair he wouldn't be himself anymore. Anyone can look average but to look unique takes talent.

15. Oh sure, Now Trump has the courage to speak the truth
Where was he when the country really needed celebrities to stand up, when standing up could have done some good. The Dixie Chicks and Susan Serandan where left out there all on their own.

19. Hey Donald...
...Boosh* couldn't have achieved such domestic & global devistation without the help of the gop and republican congress. So please, when placing blame, make sure you spread it out evenly. BTW Donald, how'd you make out on all of those tax breaks? Ready to give any of them back?

20. If Bush gets impeached, I think it should be the Donald that tells Bush to his face: 'You're fired.'
:rofl:
That would be the most viewed video of all time. Ever.

25. Well...
Can't see anything to disagree about here...

Trump and O'Donnel are both idiots though, regardless of their politics.
