39.
Let’s change the word ‘gun’ to ‘abor­tion,’ then the right would re­sort to any means to con­trol them.

40.
Uhhh, how can a bor­der­line obese old man with a cow­ard­ly draft-dodg­ing ‘bone spur’ run anywhere?

41.
Maybe he had a ‘bone spur,’ Donald.

42.
Iowa grants gun per­mits to the blind.
Deny­ing them “vi­o­lates the Amer­i­cans with Dis­abil­i­ties Act.” Re­al­ly? Soooo does that mean they should be able to, say, oh I don’t know, dri­ve a car? Fly a plane? Pi­lot a boat? Work as a flight con­trol op­er­a­tor? Be a fire­man, cop, surgeon?

43.
We need to keep the men­tal­ly ill from get­ting guns.
Wait, what? You just over­turned an Oba­ma bill keep­ing guns out of the hands of the men­tal­ly ill.

44.
So let me see if I un­der­stand this. We are putting tar­iffs on steel and alu­minum be­cause of Chi­na. Our #1 im­porter of steel and alu­minum both is — ? Wrong, Cana­da. Yes Cana­da, our trad­ing part­ner. Chi­na isn’t even in the top 4. So we pun­ish our trad­ing part­ners to pro­duce here where steel and alu­minum will be more ex­pen­sive? Who will pay those in­creased costs? Yeah you, so much for your “yuge” tax break.

45.
No won­der FedEx prices are high­er than the U S Post Of­fice. 26% mem­ber dis­count? They rest of us cov­er that discount.

46.
This proud young war­rior puts us all to shame.

47.
These ‘kids’ are only about 5 years younger than Alexan­der Hamil­ton was when he signed The De­c­la­ra­tion of In­de­pen­dence. They aren’t “kids” they are the ass kick­ing builders of our fu­ture. Hamil­ton was 21 years old!

48.
Pow­dered wigs! Oh my god, that’s why peo­ple think they were old men, pow­dered wigs! They all wore white pow­dered wigs for their portraits!

49.
