    How do you justify casting your vote for someone who referred to blacks as super predators and who's husband targeted blacks and doubled the prison population during his Presidency?
    Didn't she apologize for that?

    Whether the apology was bull or not, an effort was made. Which is more than someone like Trump has ever done.

    Also, this was like 20 years ago.

    Give it another couple of weeks, Trump will probably support a $15 minimum wage and Medicare for all.

    Trump surrogate defends secrecy on tax returns

    Eric Trump said Wednesday it would be “foolish” for his father to release his tax returns and subject them to scrutiny by people who don’t know what they are looking at.

    “You would have a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about,” Mr. Trump said on CNBC. “It would be foolish to do. I’m actually the biggest proponent of not doing it.”

    If he released his tax returns you would clearly see that.’ Are you guys kidding me? You learn a lot more when you look at a person’s assets. You know how many hotels we have around the world. You know how many golf courses we have around the world.”

    http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...d=sm_fb_maddow

    Trash's PERSONAL tax returns contain his BUSINESSES' assets and taxes?

    how many hotels, etc his BUSINESSES own?

    Trump Praises Advisor Who Wants To Have Hillary Clinton Shot For Treason
    Donald Trump is openly praising an advisor to his campaign who wants to have Hillary Clinton shot for treason.




    Donald Trump just can’t stop endorsing hate.

    Calling an advisor who wants your opponent dragged before a firing squad and shot a good man on the same day that your opponent gave a speech outlining your bigotry and hate is the political equivalent stepping on the yard rake and getting smacked in the face.

    It speaks volumes about the Trump campaign that an advisor can make comments about Hillary Clinton being shot, and still have his position within the campaign.

    Forget being punished; Baldasaro is regarded by the candidate as a good man.

    Threaten Hillary Clinton with death and get praised by the Republican nominee.

    That is exactly how the twisted Trump campaign works.

    http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/...iticus+USA+%29

    you Trash supporters are bigots supporting Trash's bigotry, and are assassins supporting Trash's approval of assassin promoters.

    As Trash enflames, promotes, mainstreams racism, xenophobia, hate, bigotry, white nativism/nationalism...

    The Disturbing Dawn of the Alt-Right

    I wrote about the Alt-right for Salon today. It’s not exactly the same as European ethno-nationalism. It’s scarier:


    After months of squabbling about whether it’s acceptable to use the “F” word (fascism) it seems at long last that we have come to some kind of consensus about what to call Donald Trump’s “philosophy”: Alt-Right, also known as white nationalism.

    With the hiring of the former chief of Breitbart media, ground zero for the Alt-right movement, as Trump’ campaign chairman, the interest in it has now gone mainstream. Hillary Clinton made a speech about it later today.


    Alt-right white nationalism is an apt term for a campaign that has electrified white supremacists so it makes sense that most people would focus on the racial angle.

    According to this analysis in the Guardian, the rising right wing ethno-nationalist movement in Europe is the progenitor of this American version, which adheres to its basic premise but brings its own special brand of deep-fried racism. Both share a belief that the white race is under siege and that “demands for diversity in the workplace which means less white males in particular forms the foundation for the movement.” So it stands to reason that Trump’s border wall, Muslim ban and bellicose appeals for “law and order” (along with his overt misogyny) is a clarion call to this faction.

    But while it’s obvious that the subtle and not-so-subtle racial messaging are among the primary attractions for Trump voters, they are also responding to an economic appeal, much of which stems from the misconception that because Trump himself is a successful businessman he must know what he’s doing. But as Dave Johnson of Campaign for America’s Future pointed out,

    many of the white working class folk who believe Trump’s promises to “bring back jobs” would be surprised to know what he actually means by that:

    Trump says the U.S. is not “compe ive” with other countries. He has said repeatedly we need to lower American wages, taxes and regulations to the point where we can be “compe ive” with Mexico and China.

    In other words, he is saying that business won’t send jobs out of the country if we can make wages low enough here.

    One of the most important characteristics of this faction is a strong attraction to authoritarianism. This fascinating report at Vox by Amanda Taub tracked studies which show that “more than 65 percent of people who scored highest on the authoritarianism questions were GOP voters and more than 55 percent of surveyed Republicans scored as “high” or “very high” authoritarians.”

    Authoritarians, we found in our survey, tend to most fear threats that come from abroad, such as ISIS or Russia or Iran. These are threats, the researchers point out, to which people can put a face; a scary terrorist or an Iranian ayatollah

    He doesn’t take nuclear war off the table, one can assume for the reason that it’s a cheaper, quicker way to “take care of” problems than these relatively smaller wars we’ve waged since the world burned in the two epic conflagrations of the 20th century.

    His nationalism is all about domination not withdrawal.

    And that view is shared by the American alt-right. Here’s one Breitbart writer making the case:

    I’d like an America that makes 7 “Fast & Furious” movies without making concessions to Ayatollah Khamenei.

    I’d like an America that humiliates the likes of Vladimir Putin, not vice-versa.

    An America that punches back eight times as hard over a tiny offense.

    An America that everyone might laugh at but ultimately stop attacking because it can only end poorly for them.



    Trump’s nationalism is absolutely about ethno-purity and there’s an element of populism as well, although it’s clearly a misdirection. But it’s largely about wounded national pride which has been a potent motivating force on the American right for a very long time.

    There’s a reason Trump is now playing the conservative anthem “Proud To Be An American” at his rallies.


    Good old fashioned jingoism is the one thing that brings the old right, the new right and the alt-right together.

    Trump’s New Ad Is The Worst General Election ‘Dog Whistle’ In Nearly 30 Years


    Trump’s first ad of the general election season demonstrates how far his campaign is willing to go to cause what Haney-López calls “racial panic.”

    Notice how immigrants are callously blurred with refugees, and refugees with terrorists. This likely offends anyone who knows and loves immigrants, which many of Trump’s supporters don’t. But it is still “acceptable racial discourse” and something other Republicans like Tom Cotton and Scott Brown both did in their 2014 Senate campaigns

    That’s why this ad is an example of what Haney-López calls “dog whistling,” using racial appeals in a way that makes them difficult to criticize while offering immunity to supporters who don’t want to be known to anyone or even themselves as flagrant racists.
    But what makes this ad extraordinarily offensive isn’t its ridiculous falsehoods, how it reveals “the absurdity of his whole campaign,” or even its obvious smearing of immigrants, whocommit crimes at lower rates than citizens, and refugees, who are vetted for years and have little-to-no say over where they end up.
    The most dangerous message is a subtle beat that you might have missed at the beginning but was obvious to Ari Berman, the author of a critically acclaimed history of voting rights, Give Us the Ballot.

    ======================

    Ari Berman @AriBerman

    Trump ad says "system is rigged" & shows black woman waiting to vote. Another dog whistle

    ===========

    He’s argued that the election will be stolen by voters in “certain areas” of Pennsylvania, rehashing completely debunked notions about black voting patterns in the 2012 election. And he’s been vocally supportive of a voter ID law in North Carolina that “targeted African-American voters with almost surgical precision.'”

    He’s subtly — or not-so-subtly — suggesting black support itself suggests that an election is “rigged.” And he’s doing this as he’s telling black people should they vote for him as a signal to undecided white voters that siding with him doesn’t mean you’re racist.

    Donny Trash and his white nationalists are a tiny fringe of hateful heads.

    Politics aside, Americans still feel positive about immigrants

    But even as debates over immigration intermingle with anxieties about security and terrorism, public opinion toward immigrants themselves remains broadly favorable.

    That may underscore two seemingly contradictory realities in US politics: Americans’ growing acceptance of the foreign-born and an increasingly vocal opposition to unauthorized immigration.


    A new national survey of Americans from the Pew Center conducted from Aug. 9 to Aug. 16 and published on Thursday, found that

    more than three-fourths of respondents agreed that "undo ented immigrants are as hard-working and honest as U.S. citizens", while 67 percent said they were "no more likely than citizens to commit serious crimes."


    Seventy-one percent of Americans responded that undo ented immigrants in the US mostly fill jobs that citizens do not want.

    Those findings reflect warming at udes toward immigrants as a whole over the decades.

    In April, the Pew Center found that 59 percent of Americans agreed that immigrants strengthened the country, compared to 33 percent who said they were a burden.

    Hillary slapping Trash

    A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military.

    If he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can he serve all Americans?

    You would expect the leaders and elected officials of the party to rally to his side, blast Clinton’s speech as a smear and demand an apology.

    Instead, there has been silence.


    Paul Ryan, the Republican Speaker of The House, has two Twitter accounts. Collectively the accounts have posted 31 times on Thursday. Five hours later, he’s posted nothing about the speech.


    Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, has three Twitter accounts. Five hours later, he’s posted nothing about the speech.


    Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican Party, has a very active Twitter account. Five hours later, he’s posted nothing about the speech.

    Trump, on the other hand, watched the speech and was quick to respond.


    Trump’s campaign press office haas also been busy dutifully attacking Hillary’s speech, which a spokesman called a “desperation play.”

    But the campaign seems to have trouble finding prominent Republicans to defend Trump.

    Right now his site features statements criticizing Hillary’s speech from luminaries such as Patricia Bober, Oz Sultanand Alfred Liz.

    But today, the most striking thing is not what Republicans are saying. It’s how many of them are staying silent.

    Who knew that it would be Donald Trump to come on and convert the GOP base to supporting amnesty the same week Ann Coulter’s book comes out,” Limbaugh said.

    “Poor Ann, oh my God, she has this book ‘In Trump We Trust,’ and in it she says, ‘The only thing, the only thing that could cause Donald Trump any trouble whatsoever is if he flipflops on abortion or immigration and goes amnesty,' and it looks like he’s getting close to it,” Limbaugh said. “I mean what timing, I have to dry my eyes here."

    Anti-Immigrant Right Reacts To Trump's 'Softening' With Anger & Denial


    his new campaign manager said that Trump’s stance on mass deportations is “to be determined” and the candidate himself said “there certainly could be a softening” of his immigration position.

    The reactions have ranged from denial that Trump will actually change his position—a fair assumption given Trump’s track record of saying whatever he thinks his current audience wants to hear—to dire warnings that he got behind “amnesty” to resigned acceptance that whatever Trump does, at least he’ll take a harder line on immigration than Hillary Clinton.

    Katrina Pierson explaining that the candidate “hasn’t changed his position. He has changed the words he is saying.”

    Dan Stein, the head of the anti-immigrant Federation for American Immigration Reform, took a similar tack, telling Newsmax that while Trump probably wouldn’t lose much support from his base if he weakened his hardline immigration stance

    The Center for Immigration Studies’ Mark Krikorian, meanwhile, claimed that Trump never actually meant what he originally said about creating a deportation force, claiming that the “deportation force” he promised was just “symbolic talk” for stricter immigration enforcement.

    Anti-immigrant flamethrower Ann Coulter similarly tried to downplay Trump’s attempted repositioning on the issue, telling the Washington Examiner in an interview that took place after Trump’s campaign manager’s comments but before the candidate’s own, that the campaign’s change in rhetoric isn’t “a change in policy.” But she also, stunningly, conceded that it may be “in our interest to let some [undo ented immigrants] stay.”

    she said. "We're getting a wall. We're definitely getting a wall. That's the one thing we know about a Trump presidency."

    “It's just rhetoric but it's still annoying,” she said. "I think he panicked and he had to say [it] ... I don't think he is softening. I mean the big thing is the wall.”

    Coulter, however, who just happened to be launching her new book “In Trump We Trust” last night with a party hosted by Breitbart News, quickly changed her tune, taking to Twitter to accuse Trump of promoting “amnesty”:







    William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC similarly cautioned Trumpagainst supporting “amnesty,” saying,

    “If Donald Trump significantly diverges from his promise to deport all illegals, he will end his own campaign or his own presidency. His campaign or his presidency will be wounded to the point of self-destruction.”

    Krikorian had a similar warning in The National Review today, saying that if Trump loses to Hillary Clinton now, it will be because of his “softening” immigration views.

    Another physician has called into question the credentials of Donald Trump’s doctor and claims he made about the Republican presidential candidate’s health.

    Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon and CNN’s medical correspondent, challenged Bornstein’s credentials and findings earlier this week, and Dr. Jennifer Gunter expressed her own concerns about Trump’s physician

    “Being able to unequivocally state that somebody would be the ‘healthiest individual’ is just not a factual statement, right?”

    Gunter has raised questions in the past about Bornstein and his letter — such as the

    inclusion of his email address and the URL of a nonworking website on the letterhead, in addition to

    inaccuracies in the way he described his affiliation with Lenox Hill Hospital.

    Gunter also raised questions about the validity of the doctor’s letter itself.

    “There’s some issues about how his signature was, basically how he described his division or section he was in, which the doctor isn’t,” she said.

    I’m pointing that there’s a lot of inaccuracies, and I think that the doctor should explain why he wrote it that way,” Gunter said.

    “If that’s his letter and that’s how he writes, what’s the big deal about saying, ‘This is me, and gosh, I made a mistake in saying which section that doesn’t exist at Lenox Hospital that I thought I was in.’

    So I think there’s a lot of a inconsistencies, and you have a do ent that’s this important — it should be accurate.”

    if this part’s inaccurate, what else is inaccurate, too?” she said.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/phys...yre-not-happy/

    My guess is that fraud, conman Trash "took (very good) care of" fraud, conman
    Bornstein.

    Latest polls set the stage for a historic presidential election

    “I don’t know if you’ve seen what’s happening,” the Republican said, “but over the last three weeks, the polls with African American folks and Spanish-speaking folks, the Hispanics, Latinos, have gone way up. Way up. They’ve gone way up.”

    there’s literally no evidence of it being true. In fact, actual data points in the opposite direction,

    “Is your mind made up, or do you think you might change your mind before the election?” A whopping 90% of people said they’re not going to change their mind.

    [G]oing back to 1952, the candidate leading at this stage of the race always won the popular vote.”

    How many candidates had a lead this large, at this stage in the race, but ended up losing? In the modern polling era, zero. It just hasn’t happened.
