Donald Trump, who is on his third marriage, is probably going to unveil information tomorrow that the Obamas maybe filed for divorce once, according to the Mail Online:
Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon.
It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up.
Donald Trump has held fundraisers for Mitt Romney. He has been treated like a legitimate surrogate by the campaign. And now he’s spreading a theory that has been, in the words of the Mail, “rubbished” by the White House. Is the Romney campaign going to try to control their surrogate, or are they just going to let him spread his bullshit everywhere? I think we all know the answer to that question. I hope the media holds Trump to his position of importance in the Romney campaign. This can only be considered an implicit endorsement from Mitt Romney.
Scoop, twist and dismiss. The new liberal STD!
What a good doggie. Maybe Obama will throw you a bone next time he is in town.
Still, if that really is the big secret, it’s not that big of a deal. I don’t agree with Obama’s “evolution” when it comes to marriage but the bottom line is people, even public servants, have marital problems. My only gripe here is why hide it? Makes me wonder what else he is hiding. Hard to trust someone like that.
Maybe someday some plutocrat shithead will deem you worthy of receiving a crumb or scrap from their table. Doubtful though, since you are just a serf to them.
Your level of cognitive dissonance is astounding, I wish I could live on your planet.
So you trust the announcement of a dubious and most likely evidence-free claim from a spiraling nutcase more than the likelihood of the recipient of such claims getting merely smeared by a lunatic with a very recent history of making dubious claims nearly ever time he opens his mouth?
What a bold, independent mind you are.
I would be more interested in finding out that Romney has a second wife. (Like his uncles)
Divorce happens, and in this case, it didn’t happen. I can’t imagine a more trivial story.
TSW, I have posted countless examples of smears and lies by the Obama campaign. Are you really going to try to act like I don’t know what I’m talking about? Don’t patronize me, man. I post links to credible, independent sources. In fact, most of the links I post are left-wing if a bias exists, which is most of the time.
Look at the Huffington Post article regarding the claim, if this is even the secret.
“Most likely evidence-free” doesn’t make it a fact. It’s YOUR opinion. I won’t even apologize for not taking people like you seriously when so many are quick to lie for Obama and smear his opponent in the election. If you can stand for that, you can fall for anything.
I’m a proud independent. I’m just seriously sick of the bullshit from our President and his handlers and liberal extremists, generally speaking. He is a proven liar and he hasn’t done shit for our country. I know this to be true because, why, just today I included a link in another blogtown article that is from a reputable source that accurately outlines Obama’s many falsehoods and misstatements from last night’s debate alone. Sure both sides are guilty, to a certain extent. But Romney has carried himself with class and integrity while Obama and his despicable campaign pigs try to drag him through the mud every miserable chance they can in order to help Obama keep his job. Wonder why Romney is evasive? I don’t. Looks like Obama has been evasive now. Now you fuckers know how it feels to be picked apart.
That’s why I’m a little amused that Trump is doing this.
Social issues are secondary right now. We need to fix the economy first. Obama couldn’t get it done and I’m not going to let anyone try to tell me otherwise. If you put yourself and your own interests before the interests of all, you will fail in the end. You can’t fuck around and lie to people and expect them to respect you and trust you to run things when you’ve already failed. Poor leadership should be met with resistance and dismissal.
People get fired all the time. Ask Donald.
And to my admirer (stalker, whatever) you really should stop the petty jealousy thing. You’re not entitled to be rich. Go earn it. If you don’t want to go that route, then fucking get a job at Starbucks and inch your way up to lower management and squander your life away bitching about what life owes you. Fuck you.
Get off your lazy, entitled ass and make something happen. Form a band. Get a paper route. Maybe a nice lemonade stand for all your frowny-faced friends who still listen to your pathetic garbage. Work for “the man” just enough to start your rad fixie shop.
For fuck’s sake, quit your fucking useless whining.
Sucks to be you. I get it.
Yes, SJR. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
It’s a yes or no question. Answer it. And the Huff Post article does not verify anything Trump says, it’s from months ago about a book written by a hack derided by sane politicians and pundits on both sides which claims the Obamas once contemplated divorce.
You are not an independent thinker at all. You exhibit every single trait of a classic troll, I even think you’ve helped expand troll typology.
Posting links does not mask the fact you’re incapable of addressing the endless stream of lies and incidents that highlight your candidate’s major flaws of leadership and character. That’s primarily why no one takes you seriously.
Oh, that and you’re a monumental dumbass.
Trump will whore himself for ANY attention he can get. The race is already a circus as it is! Trump is a windbag and full of hot air… all that fuss and guffaw will drop like his blood pressure after a double-tap shotgun blast to the head. Watch him get his and see if that hair is even real when the guns come out on the Zombie Walk of Fame at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/10…
You know what, TSW, it’s people just like you that make this country divided. People like you that can’t handle the fact that your candidate didn’t get the job done so you do everything in your power to assassinate the character of everyone who opposes him. It doesn’t work when people can fact check using the internet. Isn’t that something? Why do you think Obama is in so much trouble? Fucker oozes charisma yet he is losing the popular vote to stiff-ass Romney? How does that happen? Because Obama is honest and a great leader? Are you fucking kidding me?
I’m not a sheep. I’m not a college student or an impressionable young mind easily fooled by cheap bullying tactics. That’s why I get to you. You don’t know anything about me. You’re wrong about me as much as you are wrong about Romney. Mostly because you believe the lies the left is selling you. That is no excuse. You have the chance to be better than that. To follow liars and hypocrites and cheats. Yet you do so out of free will. Don’t you ever talk down to me you self-righteous prick. Just because the zealots here dislike my posts doesn’t mean I’m not right or I’m being dishonest. It’s because of my honesty and integrity that I get so many dislikes. Mostly from people like you. I can handle that. Know why? Because I shine a light on you. I like to watch you scurry and randomly attack. I enjoy watching dividers have a chance to show everyone just how impotent and intolerant they really are. I stand for unity for normal, moderate society. Fuck extremists.
You fall for it every fucking time. And you call me a dumbass? That’s all you have. Divisive names. And your insults aren’t even clever. How about….you’re a slack-jawed pig humpin’ bedwettin’ sycophantic dick sore? If you’re going to insult someone, at least give people the appearance that you know what you are talking about and try to be wittier than your opponent. With me, you are seriously outmatched. So if I were you, I would back away with whatever shred of dignity you have fooled yourself into believing you still possess and fuck off accordingly.
Lastly, Paul Constant is the troll. The people who agree with him and his extremism are sheep. I’m Mark Twain and Andrew Dice Clay and unlike you, I tell the fucking truth.
“It’s because of my honesty and integrity that I get so many dislikes.”
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
SJR – honest question here: Why, as an independent voter/thinker, do you only seem to criticize the left? Is there another blog – a conservative-leaning one – where you spend your time criticizing the right? I think people here would believe in your integrity a little more if you didn’t always follow up “I’m an independent” with “and here’s what’s wrong with all you lefties.” You do not sound independent at all. You may say you are! And that’s awesome. But trust me, you do not sound independent.
Believe it or not, a fair amount of people here also consider themselves independent. We’re not all the die-hard Obama fanboys that you make us out to be. But many people here are able to see that four years of Rmoney basically means a return to the ideals (and an endorsement of them) that gave us a couple decades of predatory lending, greed, and destructive economic policies that ended up totally screwing up our economy and financially ruining many people. And all your “but the lazy welfare queens just need to get less lazy” talk only points to how out of touch, and unsympathetic, you are. I work with community organizations that, in part, treat depression amongst disadvantaged populations. Let me tell you, NOBODY wants to be on welfare. The parents do not, the kids do not. Do you think that kids who can’t even afford school lunch, not to mention music and gadgets and sports equipment and all the fun stuff that we love as kids, are stoked about their situation? And do you think they don’t express this unhappiness to their parents, who in turn end up even more frustrated by their struggles and misfortunes? Picking yourself up out of those situations is not as simple as just “working harder.” Depression is extremely prevalent amongst disadvantaged people, and there are not many resources available for treatment (plus there is a lot of stigma attached to it). This isn’t the frontier – it’s not every man for themselves. We need a government that reflects the compassionate ideals of the people it serves, and doesn’t just serve the bottom lines of heinously rich people. The Obama administration has far from a perfect record in this regard, but it is certainly many steps above a Romney administration.
Just like you, I’m a proud independent (I’m voting third party, in fact).
Michelle Obama has freely admitted to friction in their marriage because he was gone all the time campaigning or serving, not helping with the children and being a 9-5 family man, this is not a surprise. Unlike the “marry every 15 years” Trump, the Obamas decided to stick by their vows. Seems to have worked out well. I bet every one of us knows someone who either drew up papers, or saw a lawyer but managed to stay together after all, and never thought it was anyone else’s business. Who cares about this?
That’s an easy question, ROM. Now stop being such a smug schmuck like Biden and I will answer you.
The reason I respond to the lefties here is simple. This new liberal element has done everything they can to lie, cheat and steal this election. But let us go back further and much closer to home. Sam Adams, a liberal extremist, lied to become mayor of Portland and the liberals here stood by and let that corrupt idiot run our city. Why? I know the answer and so do other smart people.
I’ve said it many times but obviously you fuckers need a refresher course. Liberals lie way too much anymore. They used to stand for good things like protecting the environment and being peaceful. Now all I see on the left are petty people attacking good people because the good people don’t agree with their bullshit.
Dislike my comments all you want. I really don’t care because good people that read my posts know the difference and they know why I get so many dislikes. Hell, I have people here that actually try to copy my name and follow me around like degenerate stalkers. Why? Because they disagree with me? How fucking stupid is that?
ROM, for the first time I can remember, you’re finally start to get me. A little. Try to understand something very important here. I don’t follow people around in a vain attempt at gaining attention to myself. I’m here to let people know that dividers like Paul Constant should never get away with lying like they do. He is another in a long line of liberals that have lied publicly and I will never support people like that. It’s too bad the left seems to no longer police their own ranks and call out these fools. The good liberals are painfully quiet and for that they deserve some contempt.
Portland is a very liberal city in a very liberal state. The Mercury and most Portland media outlets are quite liberal. When the Merc starts running columns from Glenn Back or Rush Limbaugh, maybe then you can criticize me for not calling out conservatives on their bullshit.
Make sense now?
Look, SJR, the reason you get so many dislikes here is, quite frankly, because you don’t know when to shut up. You’re on some quixotic crusade to … achieve some sort of non-liberal end? … by vomiting up long, antagonizing screeds in the comments section on a blog associated with a local rag largely known for its culture news. Do you honestly even know why you’re here?
Because — though I hate these sort of surprise reveals by which I tell you I’m predisposed one way, but then totally surprise you by taking a position not suggested by my predisposition; you may recognize this as your stock in trade — I’m kinda not the most liberal/Democrat-votin’ guy in the world, but even I don’t read most of what you write. Why should I? If I want intelligent right-wing commentary, I’ll go read Rod Dreher, not the leavings of some guy in the blog comments who’s got a well-developed martyr complex.
Seriously, to the degree that people comment here, it’s mostly based around personality and (pop) culture. There’s something of a community here. I don’t pretend to be part of it (I don’t comment all that frequently), but it’s clear you’re really not part of it, except as to act as a kind of rallying foil. There are other frequent commenters (as I recall) who are not toeing the Democratic party line. But they don’t tend to engender the vitriol you do.
Maybe it’s because your comments really are that lousy. I mean, heck, you actually held up “Glenn Back or Rush Limbaugh” as good alternatives. To me, that makes you look largely like a troll, but if you’re serious, then get out a bit. Maybe read some Wendell Berry. Or someone from the Austrian School. But when you laud the clowns, people might just suspect that you’re a clown yourself.
Also, learn a bit more about Oregon. No, it’s not “a very liberal state”. Take a look outside of Portland, honestly. You don’t have to drive all that far. Try actually reading the Oregonian. It’s not “quite liberal”. I mean, do you even know about its record of presidential endorsements?
Seriously, man, shut up for a bit and learn something.
Then how do you explain how many likes I get? I understand these numbers can be fooled but that is usually by those who want to make me out to be something I’m not and those who blindly follow them. If I was so concerned with the dislikes, I would simply change my screen name and blend in like another sheep. How fucking sad is that? To hope your opinions please the sheep? I’m not a politician. I’m interested in the truth.
I grew up in Portland and you don’t know me or what my intentions are. I can see you have a reasonable amount of intelligence and for that I will not clown on you. But to sit there and suggest that you have any idea what I’m about when clearly you don’t makes you pretty common here. I’ve traveled a great deal. I know more about this city and state than you could ever hope to know. Once again, assumptions by a sheep that have no fucking basis in reality.
I’m not a troll. People say that about me because they know they can’t get to me. Paul Constant is the troll. I’m a clown that is pissed off at a group of people for constantly lying to get elected and then doing nothing when they take office. It’s really that simple. I can provide a long list, if you like.
By the way, if you’re going to lecture anyone about brevity, you might want to take your own advice. And don’t ever tell me to “shut up and learn something” because you come off like an arrogant prick and for that you only get one pass. Kapish?
“It’s too bad the left seems to no longer police their own ranks and call out these fools.”
You haven’t noticed that nearly half the comments on P Constant’s posts come from lefties telling him to shut up? C’mon man…
And no, “maybe then you can criticize me for not calling out conservatives on their bullshit” does not make sense. At least not as a response to what I asked you. I totally get why you aren’t bashing Glenn Beck on blogtown. I asked if you, on another forum somewhere else (not blogtown), are calling out conservative bullshit. For some reason, no one here is convinced that you’re an independent thinker – is everyone here totally stupid, or are you just simply not putting out “independent thinker” vibes by so often towing the conservative party line?
SJR, I’m only doing this because I’m bored and the thread is largely already dead.
“Then how do you explain how many likes I get?” That’s great. You’re obsessed with the numbers, aren’t you? And yet, how many comments ago was it that you were telling us you get “so many dislikes”? Have you noticed that you rarely (if ever?) get more likes than dislikes? Don’t you think that tells a story? As to the likes you do get, I don’t know … doubtless there’s a contingent of lurkers who are more right-wing than the people who actually post. But they’re lurkers. So they’re not part of the community of people conversing. Or, I don’t know, maybe you gain the like system here, as much as you care about it.
“I’m interested in the truth.” And yet you held up Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh as examples. So you tell me if that seems consistent. Also, calling people who disagree with you “sheep” really makes you sound like you’re “interested in the truth”, and not another blowhard on the Internet who thinks he alone somehow has it all figured out but can’t see past his own biases.
“I grew up in Portland and you don’t know me or what my intentions are.” Is there a competition here that involves cramming in as many cliches as possible? “Wake up, sheeple! … You don’t know me, man! You. Don’t. Know. Me. Maaaaaan!” Hey, you know what I know about you? What you say here. And what you say here tells me you don’t know a lot about Oregon or its media. Seriously, have you been east of Troutdale?
“I know more about this city and state than you could ever hope to know.” I like how you went straight from telling me I don’t know you … to instantly knowing everything about me and what I know. That seems consistent.
“Once again, assumptions by a sheep that have no fucking basis in reality.” I’m not sure you should be using the words “fucking” and “sheep” in the same sentence like that. People might get the wrong idea.
“I’m not a troll. People say that about me because they know they can’t get to me.” No, I’m pretty sure people say that because you’re pretty self-absorbed and almost entirely unconcerned with the actual conversation being had at any given time. You derail the comments pretty routinely when you show up. But, secretly, we do all admire how very, very hard you are.
And yeah, in all your self-abosrption, you seem not to have noticed how little love Paul Constant (or anybody else who actually works at the Stranger) gets here. But that doesn’t seem to fit your simplistic worldview, so keep raging against Paul Constant. Who is, as you know, a Sheep Hero.
“I’m a clown that is pissed off at a group of people for constantly lying to get elected and then doing nothing when they take office.” Well, at least we agree you’re a clown. But like most partisan types (honestly, let’s not pretend you’re independent, okay?), you seem to have missed the fact that your description there works for, well, all politicians. Even the ones Glenn Beck likes. But I don’t believe you’re angry at the ones with the R after their names. So I don’t really buy your thesis here.
And yeah, this comment is way too long. Wrestle with the pig, you get dirty. The only way to win is not to play. But I at least try to keep my annoying tirades to the end of a thread’s life, when most people have moved on. Think you could do us the same courtesy?
“And don’t ever tell me to ‘shut up and learn something’ because you come off like an arrogant prick and for that you only get one pass. Kapish?” It’s spelled “capisce”, and what are you, twelve? Did you just watch Goodfellas for the first time? Are you really going to complain about someone sounding like an “arrogant prick” in the same comment you called people “sheep”? And if you’re threatening me, you do know they track IP addresses, right?
Finally some wit. You’re still wrong about me but that was actually funny so I won’t sit here and point out every mistake you made. There are just too many. I promise to never use “fucking” and “sheep” in a sentence again. But quit wrestling with pigs. You don’t want people to know that your family is featured on the show “American Hoggers”.
Suuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!
I just read your last sentence. Are you kidding me? You’re not one of those drama queens that thinks the world is against you, do you? Why on earth would I threaten you? Jesus, dude. Talk about devoid of reality. You want to play the victim? Find some other chump to engage in conversation because I will certainly ignore you if you try that again. Not only that, I will copy and paste your last comment and every time you try to engage me in a conversation I will post it right back atcha. Just don’t act like that, dude. I don’t care how bored you are. Don’t be a little pussy like that.
Kapish?
SJR, you’re just not very self-aware, are you?
Why don’t you try to define me again, tODD?
This is all you need to know about me.
1. I care deeply about my city, state and country.
2. I don’t like liars and when you couple that with #1 you should be able to understand my attitude toward liberals. Sam Adams lied to get elected. Kitzhaber says Oregon is ungovernable yet runs for re-election. Obama? Well, I have provided many examples of his campaign and him lying to American voters to keep his job even though he has fucked up the economy much worse than G.W. Booooosh.
3. I like to clown around but I will defend myself when people go the low route and call me a name that is lazy like dumbass, fuckwit….etc just because they disagree with me.
4. I have liberal positions on a few issues. I also have conservative views. I’m happily independent and despite the wild claims that haters here try to pass on my behalf, I’m independent all the way. The reason I criticize liberals? Well, are there any conservative articles in the Merc? Follow the logic. Not only that, I believe there is a new wave of liberal extremism that is despicable. These are people I will always oppose. Not necessarily for their views. I’m more concerned with the tactics they try to employ. I point them out every chance I get. If you see my posts in the future or take the time to read my past posts, you will see that is a theme.
5. I don’t hate anyone. I just want people to quit with the shit and get on with the business of being bad ass and beinggood to your neighbors. If that makes me a dick, so be it.
Better to be a dick than a pussy.
Okay, SJR, allow me to spell it out then. Because this is important — as are all things blog-comment-related.
You suggested I’m a “drama queen” in the same thread that you also implied that someone who is clearly mocking you is actually “stalking” you.
You suggested that I “play the victim” in the same thread that you said, “It’s because of my honesty and integrity that I get so many dislikes.”
You decried “people [who] go the low route and call me a name that is lazy like dumbass, fuckwit” in the same thread that you suggsted one or more people were “lazy, entitled asses”, “sheep”, “self-righteous pricks”, “slack-jawed pig humpin’ bedwettin’ sycophantic dick sores”, “smug schmucks”, and “arrogant pricks”.
I could go on, but here’s the executive summary: you’re a projecting hypocrite. And, worse than that, you’re boring.
