I like when the Trump campaign makes their surrogates or RNC spokespeople go out and talk a bunch of horseshit about My Little Pony before they submarine their hired gun liars by later saying that Melania, in fact, ripped off Michelle Obama, after spending days lying to the contrary.

The latest out of the far-right is that they believe Hillary had a DNC staffer murdered for leaking the EMAILS and then blamed Russia in a coverup.

Of course THE MEDIA is helped the Clinton's in this coverup because they are in BIG CLINTON's pocket.

"Conspiracy Hillary" is like Michael Corleone levels of criminal genius.

So how long until Trump publicly contradicts his campaign's own talking points? Like 5pm st the latest? I guess it could happen a little bit later if he gets distracted and starts arguing about the baby for another hour or two.

No trying-to-be objective and fair journalist, no citizen who cares about the country and its future can ignore what Donald Trump said today. When he suggested that "The Second Amendment People" can stop Hillary Clinton he crossed a line with dangerous potential. By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics. This is no longer about policy, civility, decency or even temperament. This is a direct threat of violence against a political rival. It is not just against the norms of American politics, it raises a serious question of whether it is against the law. If any other citizen had said this about a Presidential candidate, would the Secret Service be investigating?

Candidate Trump will undoubtably issue an explanation; some of his surrogates are already engaged in trying to gloss it over, but once the words are out there they cannot be taken back. That is what inciting violence means.
To anyone who still pretends this is a normal election of Republican against Democrat, history is watching. And I suspect its verdict will be harsh. Many have tried to do a side-shuffle and issue statements saying they strongly disagree with his rhetoric but still support the candidate. That is becoming woefully insufficient. The rhetoric is the candidate.

This cannot be treated as just another outrageous moment in the campaign. We will see whether major newscasts explain how grave and unprecedented this is and whether the headlines in tomorrow's newspapers do it justice. We will soon know whether anyone who has publicly supported Trump explains how they can continue to do.

We are a democratic republic governed by the rule of law. We are an honest, fair and decent people. In trying to come to terms with today's discouraging development the best I can do is to summon our greatest political poet Abraham Lincoln for perspective:

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Lincoln used these stirring words to end his First Inaugural Address. It was the eve of the Civil War and sadly his call for sanity, cohesion and peace was met with horrific violence that almost left our precious Union asunder. We cannot let that happen again.

Good stuff.

Also I've met Arpiao a bunch of times and he's a real rear end in a top hat in real life. Surprising, I know.

When I was in highschool I rented movies to him often while working at Hollywood Video. He rented under a false name which was bizarre because he didn't rent anything riské or noteworthy.

This caught my eye because for a sec I thought he retweeted someone named obongo


The Farenthold "fun thing" from yesterday is this account of a 2007 Trump deposition where they catch him in 30 different lies lmao

quote:

The lawyers confronted the mogul with his past statements — and with his company’s internal documents, which often showed those statements had been incorrect or invented. The lawyers were relentless. Trump, the bigger-than-life mogul, was vulnerable — cornered, out-prepared and under oath.

Thirty times, they caught him.

Trump had misstated sales at his condo buildings. Inflated the price of membership at one of his golf clubs. Overstated the depth of his past debts and the number of his employees.

That deposition — 170 transcribed pages — offers extraordinary insights into Trump’s relationship with the truth. Trump’s falsehoods were unstrategic — needless, highly specific, easy to disprove. When caught, Trump sometimes blamed others for the error or explained that the untrue thing really was true, in his mind, because he saw the situation more positively than others did.

Trump's insane statements don't matter in and of themselves; they matter because he is incapable of effectively spinning them or apologizing for them. poo poo, he isn't even capable of acting like they never happened and just waiting for people to forget about them. He can only double down on the crazy or cry like a pinkie-dicked orange pissbaby.

Doubling down on the crazy worked in the GOP primary because he only had to lock down a plurality of the lovely minority of Republicans who actually vote in Republican primaries. Now that he has to win an absolute majority of the national electorate it's totally self-destructive, but he's incapable of doing anything else.

Man's Trump T-shirt sparked crowbar attack, cops say

quote:

BLOOMFIELD — A 62-year-old man was beaten with a crowbar by a complete stranger who allegedly took issue with the man's Donald Trump T-shirt, police said Tuesday...

..."The motorist inquired why (the man) was wearing the shirt, directing profanities at him," Bloomfield Police spokesman Ralph Marotti said. "The (victim) continued to walk away as (the) motorist followed him."

The man then got out of his car with a crowbar, and during an altercation, struck the older man several times, authorities said.
