From that link:
"Earlier this week, video emerged of security guards at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania throwing activist Jamila Hammami onto the ground."

She flopped worse then Manu Gnob. Obviously attempting to draw a foul.
Jamila Hammami:
Arab Muslimah and executive director of the Detainee Empowerment Project, was a key protest organizer and accompanied the activists that interrupted Trump to a $1,000-a-head Republican fundraiser at the Park Plaza in Pennsylvania.

obviously there to stir up chit.

Joe Arpaio Reminds Everyone That Trump Questioned Obama's Birth Certificate

Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio introduced Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday at a rally by reminding everyone that they were both vocal members of the "birther" movement that questioned President Barack Obama's birth certificate.

Arpaio's comment came less than a day after the real estate mogul evaded a question about whether he thought Obama was a legitimate President.

Protesters very rudely interrupt Mr. Trump and they deliberately try to make him look bad. Then they get made when they are treated rudely in return.

Trump embraces Putin's killing of journalists, opponents: 'He's running his country'

"Sure, when people call you 'brilliant' it's always good. Especially when the person heads up Russia," Trump told cohost Mika Brzezinski when asked about Putin praising him as "very talented" the day before.

Scarborough pointed to Putin's status as a notorious strongman.

"Well, I mean, it's also a person who kills journalists, political opponents, and invades countries. Obviously that would be a concern, would it not?" Scarborough asked.
"He's running his country, and at least he's a leader," Trump replied. "Unlike what we have in this country."

Trump finally conceded that all was not right with Putin when Scarborough backed him into a corner, saying, "you obviously condemn Vladimir Putin killing journalists and political opponents, right?"

"Oh sure, absolutely," Trump said.

Trump is going to be President for two simple reasons: he has one liners and confidence.

Hillary has the charisma of a dead cat.

The irony is he is the perfect candidate for the cable news cycle, yet cable news hates him.

Trump is appealing to the LCD who on average don't vote. He's an womanizing, oligarch and the perfect figurehead for the GOP too. His tabloid material would be held up Willie Horton style comparing it to various foreign and domestic policy issues.

Just the type of thing to scare off independents to Hillary. He's a terrible candidate for the general.

The Donald and the Decider

After all, the antiestablishment candidates now dominating the field, aside from being deeply ignorant about policy, have a habit of making false claims, then refusing to acknowledge error. Why don’t Republican voters seem to care?

Well, part of the answer has to be that the party taught them not to care.

Bluster and belligerence as subs utes for analysis,

disdain for any kind of measured response,

dismissal of inconvenient facts reported by the “liberal media” didn’t suddenly arrive on the Republican scene last summer.

On the contrary, they have long been key elements of the party brand. So how are voters supposed to know where to draw the line?

Let’s talk first about the legacy of He Who Must Not Be Named.

I don’t know how many readers remember the 2000 election, but during the campaign Republicans tried — largely successfully — to make the election about likability, not policy. George W. Bush was supposed to get your vote because he was someone you’d enjoy having a beer with, unlike that stiff, boring guy Al Gore with all his facts and figures.

And when Mr. Gore tried to talk about policy differences, Mr. Bush responded not on the substance but by mocking his opponent’s “fuzzy math” — a phrase gleefully picked up by his supporters. The press corps played right along with this deliberate dumbing-down: Mr. Gore was deemed to have lost debates, not because he was wrong, but because he was, reporters declared, snooty and superior, unlike the affably dishonest W.

Then came 9/11, and the affable guy was repackaged as a war leader. But the repackaging was never framed in terms of substantive arguments over foreign policy. Instead, Mr. Bush and his handlers sold swagger. He was the man you could trust to keep us safe because he talked tough and dressed up as a fighter pilot. He proudly declared that he was the “decider” — and that he made his decisions based on his “gut.”

The subtext was that real leaders don’t waste time on hard thinking, that listening to experts is a sign of weakness, that at ude is all you need.

And while Mr. Bush’s debacles in Iraq and New Orleans eventually ended America’s faith in his personal gut, the elevation of at ude over analysis only tightened its grip on his party, an evolution highlighted when John McCain, who once upon a time had a reputation for policy independence, chose the eminently unqualified Sarah Palin as his running mate.

So Donald Trump as a political phenomenon is very much in a line of succession that runs from W. through Mrs. Palin, and in many ways he’s entirely representative of the Republican mainstream. For example, were you shocked when Mr. Trump revealed his admiration for Vladimir Putin? He was only articulating a feeling that was already widespread in his party.

Meanwhile, what do the establishment candidates have to offer as an alternative? On policy substance, not much. Remember, back when he was the presumed front-runner, Jeb Bush assembled a team of foreign-policy “experts,” people who had academic credentials and chairs at right-wing think tanks. But the team was dominated by neoconservative hard-liners, people committed, despite past failures, to the belief that shock and awe solve all problems.

In other words, Mr. Bush wasn’t articulating a notably different policy than what we’re now hearing from Trump et al; all he offered was belligerence with a thin veneer of respectability.

Marco Rubio, who has succeeded him as the establishment favorite, is much the same, with a few added evasions. Why should anyone be surprised to see this posturing, er, trumped by the unapologetic belligerence offered by nonestablishment candidates?

In case you’re wondering, nothing like this process has happened on the Democratic side. When Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders debate, say, financial regulation, it’s a real discussion, with both candidates evidently well informed about the issues.

American political discourse as a whole hasn’t been dumbed down, just its conservative wing.

Going back to Republicans, does this mean that Mr. Trump will actually be the nominee? I have no idea. But it’s important to realize that he isn’t someone who suddenly intruded into Republican politics from an alternative universe. He, or someone like him, is where the party has been headed for a long time.

How Donald Trump is breathing life into America's dying white supremacist movement

Making friends is no easy task for modern white nationalists.In an era of gay marriage and a black president, more than a half-century after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became law, separatists can't exactly swan dive into conversations with strangers about the white-power cause.

But Rachel Pendergraft - the national organizer for the Knights Party, a standard-bearer for the Ku Klux Klan - told The Washington Post that the KKK, for one, has a new conversation starter at its disposal.

You might call it a "Trump card."

It involves, say, walking into a coffee shop or sitting on a train while carrying a newspaper with a Donald Trump headline. The Republican presidential candidate, Pendergraft told The Post, has become a great outreach tool, providing separatists with an easy way to start a conversation about issues that are important to the dying white supremacist movement.

"One of the things that our organization really stresses with our membership is we want them to educate themselves on issues, but we also want them to be able to learn how to open up a conversation with other people," Pendergraft said.

For large numbers of Americans, Trump's rhetoric surrounding immigration, minority groups and crime may sound like finely tuned retrograde vitriol. But for Pendergraft and a growing number of white nationalists flocking to the campaign's circus-like tent, the billionaire sounds familiar, like a man fluent in the native tongue of disaffected whites.

It's a language people such as Pendergraft never thought they'd hear a mainstream politician in either party use in public.

Armed police raid offices of Putin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky in Moscow




Armed Russian police on Tuesday raided the offices of a pro-democracy movement founded by outspoken Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky, less than two weeks after investigators accused him of organizing a contract killing.

Khodorkovsky's Open Russia movement said police had also searched some of its employees' apartments in Moscow and St Petersburg and had taken away do ents.

Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for Russia's Investigative Committee, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying the raids were related to a legal case first launched in 2003 against Khodorkovsky and his allies relating to what the state regarded as the illegal privatization of a mining and fertilizer company called Apa .

Khodorkovsky, 52, once Russia's richest man thanks to his then control of the Yukos oil company, likened the raids to repression in the Soviet era, suggesting they were linked to critical comments he had made about President Vladimir Putin.

"The decay had entered its final stage," Khodorkovsky told the Ekho Moskvy radio station. ""We are all familiar with this from the time of (Soviet leader Leonid) Brezhnev."

Tough guy Trump backs down to conservative talk radio hosts

What made Donald Trump back off his description of Ted Cruz as a “maniac”? The same thing that’s made many other more traditional Republican politicians back off from their own positions: powerful right-wing radio hosts. John Amato flags Trump’s explanation:

Kurtz: But after the maniac comment, two powerful voices in radio, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, generally been supportive of you...

Trump: Two great guys..

Kurtz: Yea, said, criticized you for taking on Cruz. Did that make you rethink it a little?

Trump: Well, I like those two people. They've been very supportive and it did. It made me think about it a little bit because Mark and Rush have been so nice to me and, and I did think about it a little bit.

Mr. Tough Guy, there, who loves to talk about how only he could take on ISIS and be a strong leader who’d make the world cower before the United States and so on.

But Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh can make him cuddle up to a compe or he thinks is a maniac.

Boy, that kind of strong stance should have ISIS running scared (while playing videos of Trump as recruiting tools).
