The media are hung up on them because of name recognition. They're hung up on Trump because he's a professional celebrity and one-man circus. None of them noticed Sanders until Generation Hipster protesters started protesting against him for helping them. Thank goodness for Millennial stupidity. :lol:

^I'm sure once he's popular enough they'll find a scandal.

Well, it sounds like he was a Hippie, so he probably was into recreational drugs and free love. :arty:

Which means he gets my vote. :cooldude:

Found this on another forum, so please don't associate me with the source :eek:

I'm still looking for a Trump piñata, and I'm not talking about a photo. :peekaboo:

One of my friends from Veterans Writing Retreat 2014 posted a video of herself on fb. It's from a Jay Leno Tonight Show sketch, but it's not YouTube and I don't know how to get the website address to post it here. She's Mexican-American, and she plays a cleaning lady shutting Trump up. :guffaw: If she can get the entire clip, with Leno's opening, she'll post that too. :yes:

That sounds funny. Maybe if you post the address of the Facebook page, we might be able to see it, unless only friends can see it.

I added one since then. Do you see the one of the fighter pilot selfie over a packed stadium? It's right below that one, shows a video box with a blustery Trump.

The one under the fighter pilot selfie is the one about PTSD. It must be hidden from me because I'm not a friend of your friend or a member of the group or whatever.

Bummer! :( I'll ask her about that. It only came to my attention recently that sharing isn't quite what I thought it would be on fb. :unsure:

The fighter pilot selfie was a big hit at the women veterans event last night. :yes: It took a few moments for most to realize what it was, then eyes really popped. :D

The fighter pilot one is cool. :D

I still haven't figured out Facebook. I don't know who can see what or why. I don't know why it notifies me of some things and not others, and some things only some of the time. I'm not even going to bother to think about it. :loopy:
