President Obama made a comment about that, he said Trump's campaign had to finally take away his twitter access. So Obama said "if Trump can't be trusted with his twitter account, then he can't be trusted with the nuclear codes."

EDIT: Clinton's favorable ratings now higher than her unfavorable:

It sounds like some people around here need to do some reading. I'll post this here, but if we are going to go on, we should take it to a different thread.

https://wmbranchout.files.wordpress.com ... -tatum.pdf

The crucial piece relevant here is the distinction between prejudice and racism. The former is a personal perspective, something we basically all have and do to some extent. The latter, though, is "a system of advantage based on race."

Many Jews doubtless had (for good reasons) prejudices and hatreds against the Germans as they were being annihilated by Nazis. But this definition would say that there is an important distinction between those individual feelings toward an oppressive group, and the orientation of most Germans and of Germany toward Jews. The latter, by this definition, was racism; the former is prejudice.

...

Back on topic--Extent seems to be recovering now a bit, though still far below historical norms.

We've had dicks (not just but certainly including Dick Cheney and Tricky Dick Nixon! ) in the highest offices for 240 years and things are looking grimmer than ever. Long past time that we have a POTUS with something else between her legs. Let the other sex have an equal chance of totally screwing up for once!!

I just thought it was a clever portmanteau https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portmanteaus

Squeemishness about referring to anatomical parts has done nothing over the years to actually improve actual women's lives. The feminists I am familiar with are generally more than willing to use such words. It is using them to boast about commiting criminal acts like sexual assault that they find offensive.

But I will not repeat it if it is ruffling feather here, and I invite mods to delete it in the above post, if they choose.

(There now, is everyone feeling better now?? Can we have a Kumbaya moment now?? )

We can thank Trump for sparking a new rallying cry and identification among progressive women: "Nasty Woman"

Changing a 'slur' into a point of pride is a genius move, and if it has life beyond my post, I would hope that my neologism would have such an afterlife!

final point--bsd has been a common term for men who are movers and shakers in whatever organization they're in (though it seems to have evolved in the financial sector). With HRC in the Whitehouse, shouldn't the term be bsc??

Ah, so you want us to be the laughing stock of the world.

I have a very conservative cousin who works in the diplomatic service. He was dismayed by the W administration because basically no foreign official could respect the Dubya.

It matters what people around the world think of us.

I see. You think we are kind of a separate planet from the rest of the world...

OK, thanks for the clarification.
