5. Workers across America should demand 25 percent of their paid time...

be spent at a place of leisure of their own choosing. A golf course, a bar, a bowling alley or hell.....

how about the beach!......

I'm sure the Chamber of Commerce will lend their full support of that idea.....

[SeattleVet]

6. Just imagine the huge further amount of damage he could have done ...

had he actually been concentrating on the office, instead of the golf course.

[Achilleaze]

7. republicans squandering our hard-earned tax dollars

on luxury gourmet golden golf goof offs for a freaking draft-dodging casino hustler who claims he has billion dollars.

9. How Much?

How much will it cost for him to spend the other 75% there? It's gotta be cheaper than the damage he inflicts when working at the White House.

15. This is actually a big part of why I believe Pence would be worse

Trump is stupid and evil, but lazy. Pence is stupid, evil, and industrious.

16. How can you be a Pope and Ringo at the same time?

[Pope George Ringo II]

18. We had two Pope John Pauls.

I demand equal popification for all the Beatles!

[mysteryowl]

19. Okay. I see.

I am not Catholic, so I don't know about the popes, so you can tell me anything and I will have to take your word for it.

[Pope George Ringo II]

20. Obviously I'm not either.

That's why I demand they recognize and bow down before a greater power, the Fab Four.

It validates what we have been feeling and noticing.

He is a terrible president.

22. He never seems to spend time with his son Barron

The boy must be affected badly by his father's behavior.

[murielm99]

24. I hope his mother is doing something,

doing as much as she can, to shelter him from his father's behavior.

Tiffany's mother did that for her daughter.
