Was this EJ Hill’s work?
Well, whoever did this: you made Paul Ryan the egomaniacal billionaire and Donald Trump the all-American humble hero whose superpower is being fit .
Bad photoshopper.
I thought the same. However, it could be that the photoshopper was trying to make a link between establishment and hero by placing trump as Captain America and Paul Ryan as Iron Man.
You work with the Google Image search results you get. :(
(And I did it, btw.)
I’m judging you! Your hip street cred’s on thin ice @exjon :)
But Tony Stark is the COOL one!
You didn’t watch the movie did you?
#TeamCap forever.
It’s all Jon.
It’s why I need food tasters when we’re in the same room.
I am, and always shall be, an Iron Man fan.
I too think they men were on the wrong sides.
That’s too bad about Death Cab. I’m remembing my “oh, come onnnn” feeling from when John Flansburgh of TMBG (my favorite band) organized a fundraising CD for moveon.org, which also served to establish the liberal bona fides of some other artists who hadn’t made that a centerpiece of their work (including Death Cab).
Dear Stephen,
Please give Jon more time to talk.
Thanks.
El Exigente (the demanding one) no longer approves of Death Cab – and the Ricochetti are happy!
I think that was a brilliant point about voters wanting to see Trump blast Hillary in the debate, at the cost of nominating a losing candidate. That’s the best explanation of Trump’s nomination that I’ve heard so far. Marco Rubio likely would have won, but probably would have been gentler in the debate.
Also, alas, I think you are likely right that if the House picks the president, they probably would pick Trump over McMullin. I hadn’t thought about it that way, but now that you’ve said it, I’d say you’re probably right.
I continue to question this assertion since he already lost to a totalitarian, scandal-riden sextaganarian with historically high negatives and a shaky grasp on policy based solely on media support. And Hillary actually has a campaign infrastructure on top of that.
Admittedly, the speed boat memes would have been great.
I was a Cruz supporter. I was just figuring that Rubio would probably be less confrontational, if he were the nominee. I don’t think he’d be tanking due to an Access Hollywood video.
One quibble, you assert the the RNC is too old and needs to be cleaned out. Reince Priebus is only 44.
We don’t know what really happened on that boat – maybe he fished with…LIVE BAIT!
Old cankles probably couldn’t have afforded that massive yatch/fish boat after she and Bill were broke after leaving the white house ya know. Let me tell ya about Rubio’s Cuban Privilege…
Wow, I never have been jealous of Trump’s achievements until he managed to attain my life long goal of being personally hated by Death Cab For Cutie.
Everytime you think you’re not going to vote for him, he pulls you back in!
