1. Asshole

I was hoping this was from now, but I'll take it.

4. It actually helps. It shows the pattern.

14. Exactly...not just a one-off remark but a deeply held and oft-expressed conviction.

2. Remember when he accused medical workers in NY of stealing PPE?

13. Yup.

First thing that came to mind. And he's only complaining because he was planning to steal it.

3. My god!! Does it never end??!! Bastard

5. The fact that this is from 2016 just goes to show that no matter what he says, people -- including

members of the military and their families -- will support him.

6. he looks like a flopsweat ventriloquist

performing with an obscene Senor Wences skit

7. I remember those comments. There was expectation that eventually

Trump would make a.comment outrageous enough to take him out. It never happens

8. This is why I don't understand why The Atlantic story is getting so much traction.

Trump has been saying this shit for years, on video, no less. Even his more recent disparagements have been reported before, and sunk with little notice taken.

11. I wondered too. Maybe he's getting that sniff of failure?

Or maybe some gatekeepers higher in the media machine have given a green light, now that Labor Day has passed?

[Midnight Writer]

12. Yes, I, too, wondered about the timing. Voters are more focused after Labor Day.

I recall Mitch McConnell set Labor Day as a deadline for Trump to get his act together.

If Trump is sinking, McConnell wants Senate candidates to cut ties with him, lest he take down the lot of them.

9. Just because HE would have stolen the money

He probably thinks they’re suckers if they don’t steal the money. And why do they need to pay McDonalds cashiers minimum wage? They should just steal the money out of the drawer unless they’re losers. I’m just out of words when it comes to him.

[The Magistrate]

10. Exactly, Sir

Everyone uses themselves as the standard for gauging others....
