TRUMP and BOHNER? I hope people "Nail" these guys Good. Trump will be buying the "Pretty Women" drinks with I-Phone. If he Knows how to use it? LOL
"An Inconvenient Truth" writer/director/producer Scott Z. Burns - That's wrong, folks.
Davis Guggenheim directed An Inconvenient Truth.
I'LL make sure I don't patronize any of them.
Good, Gaylon. Your posts are always stupid anyway. Oh~ and don't forget to react to Sunday morning's breaking news.
The President should totally ignore Trump, no need to even mention that sideshow.
Best guest list ever. Except for the uneducated and ever-embarassing, Boehner and Trump. How much do you want to bet that they will be targeted? Lol...should be a great night!
At least they won't be homos and liars.
what do you call Jane Lynch? if it isn't gay...just wondering
I guess that inept Postal Service lost your invite.
Trump is not a liar? Look at that HAIR.
Trump will be there .... I hope someone has the stones to demand to see his tax records that he promised to reveal ...
Sounds like you have a racist problem.
Gaylon Barrow: I'LL make sure I don't patronize any of them.
Gee, not even Rubio, Graham and Boehner? You really are rigid in your dislike!
That's right because he's no Democrat or Republican. He's a true tea party man the only honest one in existence.
I am a homo, Mr 38...and you seem like a a closet dweller. Come on out. Let's talk civil rights, etc. Oh, and everyone tells non-truths. Everyone at some point in their lives. But not everyone can spend gazillions on their hair and their tans in these hard times. Remember for some of us it is Heating or Eating. And the tea party? Are you kidding? Cruel, stupid people with dried up hearts. You, sir are no patriot. And, I hope you are relishing Sunday's news. Perhaps you, as other tea baggers and birthers will want to have the body produced?
I'd be surprised to see Trump show, but if he does put him in a high chair, bib and a binkie in his mouth. If he doesn't show he'll use his excuse for not going as another political lie that nobody wants to hear but it will be good comedy.
If he doesn't show won't mean he scared of ears Erkell.
Trump? I JUST PUCKED IN MY MOUTH!!!!!!!
Surprised Justin Bieber and the Jo Bros didn't make the cut this year. Obama's daughters need to be entertained in SOME way.
Just watched it and it was a classic b ! tch slapping of "The Donald. Both the President and Seth had a ball at Trumps expense. What made it even more enjoyable.......the Donald wasn't laughing.
Don't worry Mr Trump, the rest of us were laughing a lot....at you.
Oh well now Mr Trump, how did that feel? Not so good, huh? I know it made me feel good! I'm one 'black' who even felt some vindication! I would just like to say thankyou to Seth Myers on behalf of the American-Born President Barack H Obama, and myself! Satan's busy working his children to finish his hateful, divisive mission on earth before they're all thrown into hell. What goes around, does comes back around; and QUICK these days. 'Vengance is mine saith the LORD', and HE still works through people!
@USPatriot38, I've read your posts and most of them contain racial undertones, but you have the audacity to say someone has a racial problem. TRUMP and you are just two good examples of folks who have racial problems! Now people have called me racist since I choose to point it out all the time on this blog, Hit dogs do holler, you know. However, I'm not a racist! I have a problem with racism, prejudice, double-standards and bigotry. You people just like to 'flip the script' back onto the messenger.
Anyone can get a fake birth certificate... i have one when i was adopted. it states i am the child born in 1955 to my new parents...with a raised emblem.... so stop the vindication bull. Its not about his birth... it is about his policies now.
So what was the big push on him trying to deliver his birth certificate to you all then, if you and cohorts were going to just turn right around and start trying to call it a 'fake'? If I were him, I wouldn't have even tried to accomodate you clowns! You folk are the worst of the worst so called AMERICAN patriots. The world is laughing at all of you 'birthers' and 'stomp Obama' conspirators; and the sad thing is, they all know why! They all know how European Americans treat African Americans in America!
@B. Haak, Oh, I'll not stop with the vindication bull until I'm 100%, totally and completely vindicated, OK? That means until the African American man or woman comes to a time in America when we don't have to keep proving ourselves over and over! Like OBAMA, who did all of the right things to prepare himself for a better life; qualfied himself to enter the best schools, graduated Magna Cum Laude, passed the vetting criteria for the job, by the grace of GOD, got the job; but has to prove himself ever since!
Who tauth you that White Missionarys. But according to all of you they were only racists also. Someone must to have died amd made the AAs all perfect four letter speaking saints.
