I love it!

trumpers don't like being outsmarted

because people like that are outsmarted by the average squirrel on a daily basis.

I would change your comment to "the average clam."

How very sad.

thinking it was a 45 quote.

do not in any way, shape or form represent all the youth of the south. Your statement is more than a little stereotypical and represents a distinct misunderstanding of southern diversity. The Parkland students, technically, are also part of the youth of the south. Last I checked, south Florida wasn't the 6th borough of New York.

It just makes me sad that there hasn't been as much progress in the deep south as there should be by now.

as Kentucky keeps people such as McConnell and Rand Paul employed (accepting bribes) nothing will change.

Goes to LMU.

She loves it there.

Except for all the over-compensating truck owners. (her words)

...you know, all the folks that give nice graduation gifts.

please stop the ignorance that all Trump support is in the south. The south did not all vote for him and it took other regions to get him in "office".

he just had plenty elsewhere. I am a lifelong southerner and I am sick of the bigotry.

Do you think the Dakotas, Utah, Illinois or Pennsylvania are in the south.

went for HRC.

I think there is no reason to continue this back and forth.

when 100% of the states voted for idiot, and then reference IL you claim incorrectly voted for idiot that actually voted for Hillary.

And I am the one that is off kilter here...?

I showed you the bloody map it is ALL RED IN THE SOUTH.

Just for the record, when an area time and time again votes for asssholes, you are going to get a bad rap.

And yes, I know there are a lot of GOOD people in the south that have to tolerate the idiots. I was not painting with a broad brush.

But math.. do the math. It does not look good in the south....

I would have loved to have been there to see the looks on the audience faces. This is exactly the problem. It doesn't matter what is said or what is done. If Trump does it, it's wonderful. If Obama did it, it's evil. This just goes to show that these people have no values. They are nothing more than cult members.

Though one person did boo

How long before Donald takes credit for it?

If Melania can plagiarize, why not hubby - again?

Donald takes credit for inventing phrase 'priming the pump.'

I imagine he's "priming the pump" on a pretty regular basis.

"Move on her like a bitch and grab her by the pussy." -- Barack Obama. No, just kidding, that was the asshole you voted for.

Now get the hell out of KY coal country. There's a whole wide world out there that's not stuck in a 19th century mindset. Hell, a 15th century mindset.

More like the 9th century, deep in the Dark Ages

Gonna be a booming economy... all those coal jobs coming back.

Sarcasm thingie goes here.

It is incredible...thanks for posting....

We know Melania's already plagiarized Michelle Obama. I would put it past her husband to do likewise.

I mean, come on! THREE coherent sentences in a row??!? NO WAY that's tRumpski!

Great!

It consists of cohesive thoughts, complete sentences, good advice, and is clever. Most importantly, it's positive, not negative. So, not Trump.

This would be Trump's version:

"You gotta WIN. Win BIG. Like me. I'm the biggest winner, probably in all history. They write books about me because I win so much. We don't want to be losers like the ones before us who have ruined this country."

If there are too many multi-syllabic words, or proper use of punctuation (especially parenthesis) or non-run on/complete sentences, then you know that trmp didn't write them.

It's not even a challenge anymore.

You have to let the applause settle and with all the clappers feeling great about themselves, then you drop the "Just kidding..." line and emphasis during near-total silence.

The typical flaw is impatience and saying it while applause is still going on. That ruins the impact. One poster in this thread -- post #6 -- seems to have inside info that it indeed played out that way. Unfortunate. If so, it reads much better than it happened.

It doesn't matter what was said. It matters who said it.

It doesn't matter what nonsense comes out of the White House as long as it's from a Republican president. To them, any gibberish from a Republican is preferable to wisdom from a Democrat. And my bet is that four fifths of that graduating class of high school seniors is thoroughly convinced of the same bullshit their parents are. What better indication, after all?

Gen Z will hopefully save us all.

Full Brainwashed Mode except for Ben Bowling, the Valedictorian!

Love it if he had some supporters!

Found some!..

"There was a portion of the crowd that thought it was absolutely hilarious," Alisha Russell, a Kentucky law student who attended the ceremony said in a Twitter message. "But there was definitely some collective groaning too."

Y’all, no lie - the valedictorian just quoted Trump and everyone cheered.. then he told us that it was actually an Obama quote. Best part of the day. I am rolling.

That will be a memorable Graduation Day.. Thanks Obama!

Wonder if his message got through to anybody?

it did. Hopefully some kids will think about it later after trump is on the junk pile of history.. and go.. "Oh Yeah! "

this young man is great. Slapped the trumpers with a dose of reality. Excellent. Slap one down, metaphorically, of course, every day. To this young man

and you know what racist fidiots we are.

That was awesome.

Madison alerted to this on his show this morning.

Let's just say that hopefully a few in that crowd of (I think he said) ~800 graduates, got a little lesson. Even if you convince a few who truly aren't "into politics" or "paying attention" how despite the fact that "words matter", for some people, those words seem to "matter more" when uttered by certain individuals versus others and the question they should think about is "Why?".

Of course this is the same state where former governor Bershear created "KYNect" for the state's implementation of the ACA (i.e., "Obamacare" ) and whole swaths of the haters and clueless refused to believe it was "Obamacare". The subsequent governor has been going about threatening/attempting to dismantle it all.

Pathetic.

Good work, Ben! 👏🏾
