Church of Trump

What an elaborate troll job. I don't like Trump, but he just got the entire media to focus on him for the past 72+ hours.

“He was an actor of genius.

There was no more overwhelming actor on the stage, in the motion pictures, nor even in the pulpit.

He would whirl arms,

bang tables,

glare from mad eyes,

vomit Biblical wrath from a gaping mouth;

but he would also coo like a nursing mother,

beseech like an aching lover, and

in between tricks would coldly and almost contemptuously jab his crowds with figures and facts —

figures and facts that were inescapable even when, as often happened, they were entirely incorrect."

Sinclair Lewis, 75 YEARS AGO, describing his novel's character Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip

British Pe ion to Keep Donald Trump Out of Country






LONDON — More than 100,000 people, angered by Donald J. Trump’s call to ban the entry of Muslims into the United States, have signed a pe ion accusing him of hate speech and asking the British government to bar him from the country.

So many people have signed the online pe ion that Parliament is now required to consider debating the matter.

Hey Paul Ryan, Here’s Proof That Donald Trump Represents Exactly What Your Party Stands For

House Speaker Paul Ryan even weighed in, stating in part, “What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for.”

JUst look at this list of absurdity coming from the Republican party and conservative media:

Mike Huckabee compared Planned Parenthood to terrorists.

Ted Cruz accused President Obama of wanting to bring Syrian refugees here to slaughter Americans.

Marco Rubio called same-sex marriage a “real and present danger” to Christianity.

Several Republicans at different levels of government (including Cruz, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert) added legitimacy to the radical conspiracy theory that the Jade Helm military exercise was a plot by the Obama administration to seize guns.

Sean Hannity became a cheerleader for Cliven Bundy, a racist criminal who encouraged people to take up arms against federal agents because he doesn’t want to follow the law.

Fox News’ Eric Bolling touted the “success” of Japanese internment camps and stated that we should declare a “holy war” on Islam.

Another Fox News personality, Dr. Keith Ablow, advocated that the United States declare an “American jihad” on the world, essentially forcing our views on anyone who doesn’t agree to adhere to them willingly. Huckabee called President Obama a “pretend Christian.”

Frequent Fox News guest and conservative personality Ann Coulter has essentially become a one-woman hate group. Draft-dodging, racist piece of s Ted Nugent, who once said that the “piece of sh*t” President Obama could suck on his machine gun and called Hillary Clinton a “toxic c*nt,” – is adored and embraced. It’s common practice to suggest that President Obama is un-American and trying to destroy this country.

Another Fox News personality, Andrea Tantaros, said President Obama is allowing ISIS to grow stronger because he feels the U.S. has been oppressive to Muslims.

A Fox News show geared toward women, Outnumbered, actually defended the public sexual harassment of women.

Two Fox News analysts were suspended for hurling profanities at the United States of America. Rush Limbaugh, one of the most deplorable personalities on radio, is revered as a “credible news” source.

A gay soldier who was actually deployed in Iraq was booed by an audience of conservatives at a 2012 debate – without a single candidate on stage having the courage to condemn the response.

Borat Crashes 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' To Trash Donald Trump

As mentioned before, Donald Trump is clearly a social experiment to test how racist 'Murica is.

this lady is what i imagine most of his supporters are like. a bunch of loony, racist, uneducated, weirdos.

this guy is just repeating whatever he heard and really doesn't know wdh he's talking about. if you scared, say you're scared and stop talking out ya ass.

[DMX7]

If I were Trump, I would be embarrassed that some of these people are my supporters. But I get the sense that Trump just has an egotistical need to be loved by the masses, and this is as close as he can get to that feeling. It showed itself early on when he used to chant "Trump, Trump, Trump" in a crescendo to lead his audience in a cheer that rarely materialized (making him look especially ridiculous). However, he has really found his voice now. No politician in a generation has used this brand of "us vs. them" rhetoric, the kind that propelled Hitler to higher office. It's too bad. He had potential, but he has really blown it. He's not a serious candidate anymore despite leading in nearly all of the primary polls. He can't win the office of POTUS.

As you can see from many of my earlier posts, I supported many of Trump's positions, but he has simply gone too far. So even as an objective observer, I can tell the ride won't end well for him. He can't win the general election anymore.

[tlongII]

So he proposed not letting any more Muslims enter the U.S.? So ing what? Anybody can see that radical Islam terrorism is the #1 or #2 issue in the American public's mind today. I don't think he would be able to prevent them from immigrating in practice. He's just stating what he feels, and many Americans feel the same way.

I might not agree with all of Trump's positions, but of all of the others running (on both sides), he's the least likely to be in someone's pocket and doing their bidding. I never thought I'd vote for someone like Trump (he is so arrogant and obnoxious) but he doesn't have to kowtow to any donor which most of the rest have to (Hillary is especially dangerous in this respect because some of hers are foreign).

IS AN IMMIGRATION BAN ON MUSLIMS UNCONS UTIONAL?

DECEMBER 8, 2015 ERIC POSNER

Probably not.

The Supreme Court has held consistently, for more than a century, that cons utional protections that normally benefit Americans and people on American territory do not apply when Congress decides who to admit and who to exclude as immigrants or other entrants.

This is called the plenary power doctrine.

The Court has repeatedly turned away challenges to immigration statutes and executive actions on grounds that they discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, and political belief, and that they deprive foreign nationals of due process protections.

While the Court has not ruled on religious discrimination, it has also never given the slightest indication that religion would be exempt from the general rule.

I don't love Hillary's character and I'm not really much of a supporter of her, but I don't doubt her enough to think she would do things anti-american because a founder she supports got money from foreigners (or whatever the case was).

I think Hillary is much better than Obama who fundamentally does want to change America. Hillary, I see as saying whatever way the wind is blowing (not to harm America) but to serve her selfish (financial) purposes. Bernie is much more unselfish, idealistic (motivation-wise) but I think his policies are wacko.
