Next week's interview he'll be talking about how he has a law degree, just like he talked about the Purple Heart last fall.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump, but it bothers me to no end when schools confer honorary degrees to people. I know this is weird, but I feel like it cheapens the idea of a degree and what it means to earn one.

100% agree.

I concur honorary degrees are almost always nonsense. If an institution feels compelled to give one out, it should only be something like a B.A. in General Studies.

Didn't see skit, only seeing what is posted here....going for the slapstick humor to get a response, not the smart humor that made the skits great in the first place.

Related, but not necessarily on topic. This clip keeps haunting me, because this is what we are seeing, in President Trump's mind:

What's really bad, is that if any part of what Trump and his staff could allegedly be on the hook for is true, it's finally going to make Watergate look like the unnecessary "third-rate burglary" that it always was.

Maybe we'll finally retire "-gate" for some new suffix? Or perhaps we could retain "-ghazi" for fake scandals, "-gate" for minor scandals, and whatever suffix Trump ends up inspiring for the next major outrage.

I would be more than fine with not keeping a "buzz" word or phrase. It diminishes the actual act over time, when repeated. See: Inflategate.

The mental gymnastics being performed in this thread to argue on Trump's behalf are nothing short of spectacular. 6.0 6.0 6.0 and a 5.8 from the Russian judge.

Yes, but who will be busted in a year or two for using PEDs?

Inflategate? Did you, like, never see one bit of media surrounding that mess? Or are you trying to make a point because you know the actual term was Deflategate?

My bad, Deflategate. I thought the term was lazy at best. I mis-typed. :(

What? No Orange-gate? Russia-gate? Putin-ghazi?
