as much as Shrub infuriated me at times, he's starting to look like a walk in the park compared to what I've heard, seen and see coming with Trump & the neo-CON cabal.

Palm Beach again... ::sigh:: Are we still all that surprised? If it wasn't for his (and the RW defenders) incredible and obviously racist hypocrisy and the fact that he's making money off it while it's costing taxpayers so much, especially when he wants to cut so many important programs, etc I probably wouldn't care if he played golf every weekend since I grew up with a dad who was an avid golfer and 'get' loving the sport. OTOH my dad is a frugal accountant type and would never do what Trump has been... I know because as a 95 yo "registered Republican" he gets going on rants on about Trump and the current Republican party. (I don't know when he last voted R for a national or state position but it's been at least 3 maybe 4 decades.)
