If anyone can follow up Donald Trump’s reaction on Twitter, I am dying to know

what his reaction to New Rules last night on Real Time.
My whole political life I have rarely seen such a complete fucking put down of a right wing nut job.
Usually I shake my head and say to myself. “He should have whacked him this way or that way”.

Not last night.... I couldn’t have added a thing.....Which surprised my ego...

So please..... I don’t do twitter.....

Don’t you love the way right wingers conflate The disgusting racists graphics of Obama with the

Nazi like posters of George Bush? One is based on an illegal invasion which based on some estimates left over a million dead and wounded. Wile the other was based on simply Obama’s color.....Big fucking difference!

Christe is out of his fucking mind..........!!!!

This is just not a responsible man, who would say or do anything to get himself attention. He also possesses a temper with no boundaries what so ever!

The former White House physician who said she was concerned over New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s (R) health should he become president suggested on Thursday that Christie called and lashed out at her after publicly calling her “a hack.”

“It was essentially the tone of the press conference only louder,” Dr. Connie Mariano told KTVK-TV, referring to Christie’s statement on Wednesday. “It was hard to get anything across.” When the station asked if Christie yelled at her, she nodded affirmatively.

Mariano, who served during both the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, drew Christie’s ire after telling CNN earlier this week she was worried about his risk of suffering a heart attack or a stroke.


“It’s almost a like a time bomb waiting to happen unless he addresses those issues before running for office,” she said.

That statement led to an angry response from Christie.

“She must be a genius,” he said. “She should probably be the Surgeon General of the United States, I suspect, because she she must be a genius. This is just another hack who wants five minutes on TV, and it’s completely irresponsible — completely irresponsible. My children saw that last night. And she sat there on TV and said, ‘I’m afraid he’s going to die in office

Hey Mr. Rubio, The Savior of The Republican Party, what about this??

Not surprisingly, this has left Rivera's future in politics in doubt. But perhaps the more interesting question is what the congressman's scandals will do to his close, personal friend, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), whose career is on a very different trajectory.

Chris Cillizza noted this week, "You can sum up Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's biggest impediment to being chosen vice president in two words: David Rivera."

[Fox News' Bret Baier] pushed Rubio on Rivera, noting that not only is the Florida Senator hosting a D.C. fundraiser for his friend on May 16 but that the two men also co-owned a house together, a house that went into foreclosure.

Rubio sought to cast the foreclosure issue as a simple misunderstanding; "There was a disagreement with the bank about how much the monthly payments were," he told Baier, adding: "And it all got confusing."

Making the story a little more "confusing" is that Rivera has been accused of misusing campaign donations for personal use, and Rubio has largely admitted to having done the same thing.

Indeed, the far-right senator was asked this week about using a Republican Party credit card to purchase personal items. Rubio conceded it "looks bad," and acknowledged, "I shouldn't have done it that way."

It's worth noting that we're not talking about minor purchases -- Rubio billed the state GOP for more than $100,000 during his two-year tenure as Florida's House speaker, including repairs to his family minivan.

What's more, National Journal added that the controversy hasn't been fully resolved, despite the senator's claims to the contrary, and Rubio has not yet released relevant materials documenting the extent of his role in the controversy.

Among Florida politicos, these questions are widely known, and at least among Republicans, generally ignored. But it's worth keeping the stories in mind as scuttlebutt continues about Rubio's possible role on the 2012 ticket. In many circles, the senator's background is not well known, and his personal characteristics -- handsome young Latino from a key swing state -- may obscure issues that a professional vetting team will probably consider important.

Jesus Christ Tiger, how about entering a few more U.S. tournaments..

Ratings tumble when you’re not in the final round. How about giving a little more back, not to the PGA but to all those 99%ers who are involved with the production, ads, go;f shops, etc. Its rare when I watch a tournament when you are not in it...
