According to Donald Trump, he's the biggest winner among losers

As most economists would tell you, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a problem with numbers: An increased debt means a decreased debt, a lower minimum wage is equivalent to a higher minimum wage, 2 + 2 = 7, etc.

Segueing from that, let's look at the two presidential nominees' July fundraising totals:

Hillary Clinton: $90 million

Donald Trump: $35.8 million

Difference: +$54.2 million for Clinton/-$54.2 million for Trump

What was Trump's response? Only this:

"It's gonna be announced tomorrow or the next day: we've raised, we think, about $35.8 million. This is unheard of for Republicans, $35.8 million."

Actually, that's not true at all. At this time during the 2012 election season, then Republican nominee Mitt Romney raised $101 million, $65.2 million more than The Donald (2.82 times more). Given Trump's seeming lack of math skills, expect him to say the following at some point:

- "I won 18 states. This is unheard of for Republicans."

- "I watched the entire 1.5-hour Super Bowl contest thingy. This is unheard of for Republicans."

- "I won 2% of the black vote. This is unheard of for Republicans."

- "I stood up and sang 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' for the 2nd-inning stretch. This is unheard of for Republicans."

- "I scored a 35% on my world geography test. This is unheard of for Republicans."

Actually, that last one may be true...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
