Unicorns are better AND you get a rainbow too.

If its just a horse with a cone on its head I will be pissed

What if its an ice cream cone that perpetually leaks ice cream from the tip?

Trump would never do that. He is a man of honesty and integrity, even his campaign manager says so.

Now thats just crazy talk

I think you are thinking of something else. If so you better see a doctor.

Yeah everyone knows unicorn horns grant eternal youth. Horns of perpetual ice-cream don't exist.

[Enthusiastic Steward]

Horns of perpetual ice-cream don't exist.

Your defeatist talk is un-American, and I'll not have it.

[Reeve]

It has all been talk so far. When it comes to decisions, he will be in the shroud of utter ignorance; pretty sure even he understands that just charging with the warcry, "Yolo!", into a sovereign country is a bad idea.

I think you have too much faith in Trump's non-YOLOism.

Why do I have a feeling that isn't ice cream?

[Felya]

Is this some strange attemp at humour?

Yes, the guy at the end is a current SNL cast member and was on an MTV variety "comedy" show.

Taste it and see.

Let's add some primary sources to topic of this thread. This is what Trump linked a hour ago on twitter:

How bothered are Americans by "revolving door" practices really?

Basically, this would ban Trump from lobbying, but permit Trump organization to lobby. This doesn't actually solve a problem with lobbying, but is a distraction. How about a ban on seeking office from corporate executives and owners that have lobbied government within the last 5 years?

According to the FT (behind a paywall, alas) , Trump is considering making his own TV network.

IF true, that amounts to conceding the victory.

Most of us are already expecting his "consiliatory" speech to be nothing but a future ad for TNN "Dump News Network". Being allied with Roger FOX-molester Ailes and thge Slimeball who is the CEOof Breitbart leads heavily to this.

He's so full if himself im more than betting he may even call it "Dump Truth Network"

Dude...that vs Taco Trucks on every corner?

Horses that come to a point + optical illusions... or culinary nirvana?

The minute he started harping about how rigged this election is he was essentially admitting defeat. Otherwise he'd be making his potential election less legitimate.

I've always found the argument that elections are unfair or rigged when made by a person who won one laughable.
Trump says the election is rigged? Then he should immediately step down as his nomination was rigged.
Governor says there's voter fraud? They should immediately step down as they were elected fraudulently.
etc, etc,

Especially harping about the election being rigged but not offering any evidence nor even suggesting anything should be done about it despite there being a month left until the election when he first started really pushing it.
"The election is rigged!"
"That's awful! How is it rigged and what can we do about it before election day?"
"It's rigged like you wouldn't believe. Trust me."

[Enthusiastic Steward]

His evidence is that SNL makes fun of him I think...

Ironclad. To the courthouse!

but what about these youtube videos by Okeefe with so called "evidence" of rigging in action

Here's the original that was uploaded last year. In the new one the commentator cuts in wherever the original laugh track was. Someone's taking a skit and trying to pass it off as real.

Pretty much what the media does these days.

You know, I was kind of wondering about these too. The videos seem pretty damning, but given how the guy has a history of doctoring videos and cherry-picking footage, it's hard to trust him 100%. But then again I don't really understand how you can be having a conversation on "Paying mentally ill people to incite problems" or planting fake supporters to bird-dog" and then claim it's taken out of context.
