Every time I see Trump, I’m reminded of that great philosopher, Saman Habib Salo (RIP 2002). It was 1987, in a meeting, and he was on a roll. I leaned over and asked how he did it. He smiled and said,
“Billy, Billy, Billy... in a room full of idiots, the moron is a genius.”

Okay, with Trump rallies, allies lies, and lower intelligence throughout, it's time to announce the chronic disease rampaging across the country.
Chronic CRI.
Yes, it's true. Undiagnosed too long, but becoming near fatal in its prognosis.
CRI: Cranial Rectal Inversion.

... and do you ever wonder if the local businesses advertising on TV are really getting their money's worth when 90% of the viewers hit "Mute" during commercial breaks just to not listen to the political BS...

[Bill Schrum @StrltXprs]

I don't care who's side you're on... but you have to admit that driving by a farm field with a giant "Trump-Vance" sign displayed, and looking out to see a manure spreader going strong and inhale the aroma of sh--, is funny.

@OccupyDemocrats I'm thinking Trump's lawyers are working on the "we don't get paid unless you win" concept -- and they don't know it. `

@BadgerStew C'mon now -- he's donating his entire salary to charity if you vote for him so he can fight politicians buying votes. Wait... what?

[Bill Schrum @StrltXprs]

@BadgerStew I love his commercial talking about current congress buying voters, and then saying he'll give his pay ($174,000) to "charity" so vote for him.

50 years ago today, the first edition of the LAFAYETTE TIMES came off the press.
A dream fulfilled, in a beautiful town with wonderful people.
Hard work, happy times, beautiful memories…. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world!
Thank you @Lafayette_CO

@RpsAgainstTrump If he gets elected I’m gonna be attorney general with an office next to him!

@Badger_Notes @EIL3RS We arrived at 6 only to see 1/2 to 3/4 of the students outside lined up to get in. We were in our seats within 10 minutes. Definitely not the students fault. They were there, Athletic Dpt issue. With temps in the 30’s no one is going to sit in their seats an hour or more b4 game.

@RonFilipkowski Possible explanation: They honestly believe that Adam & Eve were the first people and that everyone descended from them. So, two people have kids and we all come from that origin. Oh, and incest is a sin but... Draw your own connections.

53 years ago today, departed Norton AFB at 1700 on Mission #275, Boarding #129, for “du w/FMFPac WestPac GndFor”
If you don’t know what that means, ask one of those old Marines you see with the hats on. @USMC @VVAmerica

[Bill Schrum @StrltXprs]

The guy comes into the capitol, without a shirt, but with a dog and a gun, and gets arrested. Okay.
THEN -- a couple of hours later comes back with an AK-47? Gotta love the Madison/Dane County legal system. Ahhh, he just needs a hug..

A man tried this week to attack Democratic Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers twice in one day, first with a handgun and then again with an assault rifle after posting bail, a state spokesperson said Thursday. https://t.co/dVyxAs5LCz

Why do I think Coach Prime orchestrated this to teach the age old life lesson: "NEVER BELIEVE YOUR OWN PRESS".... Humbling, but necessary. @CUBuffsFootball @DeionSanders

If you’re looking for a hilarious yet informative look at Marine boot camp—and who isn’t—I invite you to follow forty-one former Marines (men and women), from pre-enlistment to graduation as they share those you-had-to-be-there-to-believe-it memories. https://t.co/gwMQs5y5HA

@LoganHicks59 @CoachHerriot Go Buffs!!!

The most important story about why Americans have become sad and alienated and rude, I believe, is also the simplest: We inhabit a society in which people are no longer trained in how to treat others with kindness and consideration. https://t.co/HzHsAvfdBo
