Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Bad News


Bad news.  Kasich is quitting the race, so Donnie Drumpf is the last man standing, nominee-by-default of the Goofy Old Party.  The appalling prospect of Donald Trump in the White House is a possibility. The possibility must not be allowed to become reality.

Trump is an embarrassment, an incoherent mess without any sort of elective or governmental experience.  There is literally nothing in his background or temperament to recommend him for the highest office in the land, and quite a lot to disqualify him.
 
Here are some -- just some -- examples of Trump at his worst, in his own words.  I can't imagine anyone reading any of this and then saying, "Yes indeed, this guy should absolutely be President of the United States."  No, he should not.  Absolutely not.  Don't be a putz.


"There has to be some form of punishment." -- for women seeking abortions.

"We can't allow China to continue to rape our country." -- on trade policy.  (Rape policy too?)

"All she has is the woman's card.  If Hillary Clinton were a man, she wouldn't get 5% of the vote."

"There was blood coming out of her wherever." -- on Megyn Kelly.

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S."  (Ooh, third-person narrative!  Fancy!) 

"[Mexicans] are bringing drugs.  They're bringing crime.  They're rapists.  And some, I assume, are good people."

"I would bomb the shit out of them." -- on how he would defeat global terrorism.

"Look at that face!  Would anyone vote for that?" -- on Carly Fiorina.

"You don't cure a child molester.  That's pathological and there's no cure for that." -- suggesting Ben Carson had a pathological temper control problem.

"He's not a war hero.  He was captured.  I like people who weren't captured." -- on Sen. John McCain.

"An extremely credible source told me Barack Obama's birth certificate is a fraud."

"Ariana Huffington is unattractive, both inside and out.  I understand why her former husband left her for a man -- he made a good decision."

"It doesn't really matter what the media write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."

"I will build a great wall -- very inexpensively -- and I will make Mexico pay for that wall."

"Our great African-American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore." -- on the reaction to Freddie Gray's death at the hands of Baltimore police.

"All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me.  That's to be expected."  (Mr. Desirable!)

"The beauty of me is I'm very rich."  (Eye of the beholder?)

"It's freezing and snowing in New York -- we need global warming!"

"I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."  (Eew, Mr. Creepy!)

"The only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm more honest and and my women are more beautiful."  (For what you paid, they should be beautiful.)

"My fingers are long and beautiful, as -- it has been well-documented -- are various other parts of my body."  (Well-documented?)

"The point is, you can never be too greedy."  (Got it, Mr. Gecko.)

"My IQ is one of the highest -- and you all know it!  Please don't feel so stupid or insecure. ' It's not your fault."

"I was down there on 7-Eleven at the World Trade Center, right after it came down."  (Did you get a Slurpee?)

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

"The problem is we have the Geneva Conventions, all sorts of rules and regulations, so the soldiers are afraid to fight." -- calling for eliminating the Geneva Conventions.

"I'm not going to take it off the table." -- asked if he would ever use nuclear weapons in Europe.

"I would say no." -- asked if men should have any liability for illegal abortions if all abortions were banned.

"[Planned Parenthood] is like an abortion factory."  (No, it's not, you dipshit.)

"Absolute dishonest.  Absolute scum.  They're totally dishonest." -- pointing out a group of reporters covering his campaign.

"Part of the problem is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore." -- as protesters were led out of his campaign event.

"The audience hit back.  That's what we need more of." -- after a white man sucker-punched a black protester being escorted out of a campaign event.

"In the good old days, this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very, very rough." -- as protesters were led out of his campaign event.

"Get him out!  Try not to hurt him.  If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it." -- to his bouncers as they escorted a protester out of a rally.

"Maybe he should've been roughed up." -- on a protester.

"I'd like to punch him in the face." -- on a protester.

"Knock the crap out of them!" -- on protesters.

"I have a great relationship with the Mexican people."

"People love me.  Everybody loves me." (Don't bet on it, Donnie.)

Donald Trump is the populist tycoon who's conned the morons by vowing to Make America Great Again!  But Donnie Boy, the Working Man's Friend, is, by his own account, fabulously wealthy, incredibly successful, lives in penthouses and gated communities, and is up to his neck in beautiful pieces of young ass.  America has been obscenely great for him.  He's never demonstrated any concern for or clue about the larger population, only himself.  He's just another charlatan, selling salvation and snake oil.
