For whatever reason, he has a small group of Latino supporters after all he's said about them, a group of women, despite the fluent chauvinistic bilge he utters.

Everything he says is often fact checked and debunked by credible sources, yet so many do not seem to care? Down in the southern states his mentality appeals to people, as this is a place where white privilege exists.

I suppose we have to hold our breath and continue to watch the Circus.

I think I caught a brief part of the news covering the Muslims holding prayer/vigil. That was a great example of truly pious people, uncorrupted. I've met a few true Christians out here whom are all loving, sadly they are oh so few and far between though.

There is still one group he has yet to offend - white men wearing wife beater t-shirts, cigarettes stuck up their shoulder high sleeve who are drinking a Bud while driving a pick up truck, with a confederate flag in the back window, to the next NASCAR race!!!! Essentially your average white male inhabitant of the southern states!!!!

Sure I am being very generalistic, but it's amazing how he can verbally abuse people and still retain popularity, probably proves that most republicans will simply follow whoever gets put in front of them!!

Pity that Islam doesn't have a Pope.  Discuss (!)

They did, he was/is called Muhammad.

Maybe a 'Pope' that's cool and fresh like Francis. Definitely not one like Alexander VI, or any others for that matter.

I meant a living voice of Islam who they all listened to, who would "interpret" the Koran to the masses. And he would have the intelligence to "interpret" it in a peaceful way. (Currently Jihadis interpret it how they want to.)

Some days I wish it were the opposite way around, I'd probably be less grim

So, the truth is now emerging that Donald Trump is the 'Manchurian Candidate'. I was wondering whose puppet Trump is. Now I Know. It's Vlad the lad.

No,  it means the US will be using a 24 hour 11 minutes (give or take a few) day.  

BTW it's Parka - Parker was Lady Penelope's butler !!
