Morning, everyone!
Well, I was going to do a bit on the Perd Hapley Bryce Williams shootings, but Ms. A made that superfluous.
So – that leaves us with Trump.
Not trying to say he’s sucking all the air out of things, but he’s sucking the air out of things. Freeperville is no exception. The non-nutjobs have given up for the most part, and the Trumpaholics have taken over. Something horrible was said by The Darnold or reported on?
Good news for Trump!
Former Ku Klux Klan Leader David Duke Throws Support Behind Donald Trump
The Wrap ^ | August 25, 2015 | Itay HodPosted on 8/26/2015 1:03:22 AM by 2ndDivisionVet
Trump is “the best of the lot,” Duke says of GOP frontrunner
GOP frontrunner Donald Trump can count on at least one die-hard fan: former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.
Self described “racial realist,” Duke, praised Trump during a recent rant during his online radio show, calling the business mogul a “good salesman.”
Duke, who ran unsuccessfully for president as a Democrat in 1988 and later served in the Louisiana House of Representatives, also said he liked Trump because of “the fact that he’s come out on the immigration issue,” adding, “he’s an entrepreneur and he has a good sense of what people want to hear, what they want to buy.”
While Duke admitted Trump’s proposals could be a political ploy to get the nomination, he agreed with the real estate mogul’s policies aimed at mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, calling him “the best of the lot” among the crowded GOP primary field.
After complaining about the “Jewish domination” of the media, Duke said Trump is telling it like it is.
“Trump, he’s really going all out. He’s saying what no other Republicans have said, few conservatives say.”
Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

You can’t stop someone from endorsing you. I wouldn’t put it past Karl Rove or someone similar paying Duke to do this.
To: re_nortexHe’s simply a liberal.
Of course he is. “White Power” has been the rallying point for liberals since August 6, 1965.
Like half the country, and doing what liberals do. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. Husbands and wives.
Liberals ALL belong in cages for the safety of the human race.

For once, Team Trump may be stumped.
Should be interesting to see how Team Trump handles this.
They better answer fast, or else the media may smell blood in the water, or wherever.

To: 2ndDivisionVetWe’ll be seeing a lot of these ‘he must be a racist’ by association hit pieces in the near future.
But with the excesses of this clown negro regime the danger of a ‘critical mass’ moment exists revealing the so called racists of our distant pass(sic) were absolutely correct on the condition of black culture and their devastating effect on civilized society.

Seriously, KKK?As was in the 19th and 20th Centuries, so it remains in the 21st Century:
The Ku Klux Klan is a Democrat outfit!
Um, not since the Southern Strategy, no. Duke did indeed run as a Democrat in 1975, but failed miserably.
You guys always leave out that he switched to the Republican Party in 1988 and immediately started winning, although his myopia on issues like Da Joos (who for some reason, mostly vote Democratic – perhaps they didn’t get the memo), and drug-testing for welfare recipients (an infamous Republican bette’ noire) and his penchant for raising money and gambling it away brought him down.
They’re on the side of the abortion industry and seek to exterminate Jews
(see above)
and blacks.
Heh.
Their goal is nothing less an all-white America, populated by fellow leftists.
Jesus fuck – have a care you don’t pull a muscle doing those obscene mental gymnastics.
Duke has spoken of his affinity for Russia. Why? Because it’s white — but above all, liberal!

Brother of slain San Francisco woman condemns Trump

The brother of a San Francisco woman shot by an undocumented immigrant fired back at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after he has frequently cited the incident as a reason for strict immigration reform.

To: CraziemanSorry, I don’t watch trash TV. My IQ isn’t down in the 85 range. But it’s interesting you don’t have an Conservative responses to criticism of Trump. It’s all reality TV trash talk. You will just abandon the Constitution for this fool. There is a sucker born every minute.

After all, Ronald Reagan was a conservative Republican his entire life, right?
You Trumpers like to bring up Reagan, but not look at the facts. Reagan paid his dues with years of conservative activism. Reagan took the time to explain why his views changed. Reagan didn’t switch back and forth between parties all the time. TOh, and the fact that Reagan actually had conservative opinions may have some relevance. Except for some inflammatory language, that he walks back in the fine print, how is Trump conservative? He’s not. And he thinks illegals should stay in the U.S. So the whole idea of him being conservative is a shame. Trump has re-registered his party affiliation three to five times since 2009 alone. Did Reagan do that?
Show me ONE thing Tryump has done to advance conservatism that wasn’t self-serving or to get attention. There isn’t anything. And now people are worshiping him like a god? So, they will vote for Jeb when trump endorses him?
To: Post5203“There is no hope without Donald Trump.”
If Trump is our only hope, we have nothing for which to hope. It’s so easy to just ignore what a person has done in the past and support them for telling people what they want to hear. Just goes to show that people are gullible idiots.

To: Post5203This is hope?Nothing is quite as American as the Wehrmacht
“…Train your eyes on the troop silhouettes in the lower right quadrant of the image. Do the coal-scuttle helmets and Kar-98 rifles seem vaguely familiar….
To: PoliticalkiddoSo we would be less gullible if we supported a candidate who told us what we didn’t want to hear? or who just feeds us all the same old BS that we’re all sick and tired of? That’s pretty much all I’m hearing from the rest of the nominees. I don’t like much of anything they’re saying.Trump is speaking unvarnished and unapologetic truth to America. In so doing, he has harnessed the political winds. The other candidates should take notice and adjust their own sails, or be prepared to go nowhere.
To: RC oneOkay, yeah. He’s brash and bold. So, what? Actions speak louder than words. His past actions scream louder than any supposed stand he is taking now. To think that he is a “good” guy or actually cares about anyone or anything but himself is what I mean by gullibility.
Personally, I think this is all a stunt that bolsters his ego. He is welcome to do so, and I am all for speaking the truth and making the LSM insane, but that is no reason just to discount who he has been in the past and what he has stood for. That is no reason to just get behind him 100%, neglecting any logical considerations over his appeal to pathos. Anyone who thinks he is actually presidential material is a fool.

“Climate change is not science fiction”
Arnold Schwarzenegger has added climate change advocate to his resume.
The actor and former California governor has been selected by the French government to join Nobel Peace Prize winners, U.N. secretary generals and Pope Francis to advocate on behalf of the environment ahead of the U.N. climate change meeting in Paris in December.

Exclusive: Trump threatens third-party run
The Hill ^ | July 23, 2015 | Kevin Cirilli and Bob CusackPosted on 7/23/2015 5:57:44 AM by Cincinatus’ Wife
NEW YORK — Donald Trump says the chances that he will launch a third-party White House run will “absolutely” increase if the Republican National Committee is unfair to him during the 2016 primary season.
“The RNC has not been supportive. They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy,” the business mogul told The Hill in a 40-minute interview from his Manhattan office at Trump Tower on Wednesday. “The RNC has been, I think, very foolish.”
Pressed on whether he would run as a third-party candidate if he fails to clinch the GOP nomination, Trump said that “so many people want me to, if I don’t win.”
“I’ll have to see how I’m being treated by the Republicans,” Trump said. “Absolutely, if they’re not fair, that would be a factor.”

Maybe then we would see an end to all this fawning over him.
Trump is just a thinner Chris Christie – remember when we loved that guy because he yelled loudly at people we don’t like? Let’s not be fooled twice.

Donald is gonna leave some broken hearts in Freeperstan, and it will be sweet, sweet wingnut tears.
True dat. And I’ll be right there with the bottles to collect them.
Here’s a thought on “Let’s Make America Great Again”. Let’s do away with Superpacs. Let’s change gun laws–make the laws more strict. Guns DO kill!. Let’s make a college education affordable for EVERYONE! Screw the banks–they are legal thieves and white collar loan sharks. But yet, the politicians of BOTH parties are sleeping with financiers AND insurance companies–speaking of insurance companies–they WILL bankrupt our country–it’s time to do something to make health care affordable to EVERYONE. Obama’s care was great in theory, but realistically, it isn’t working–I know. I am unemployed (Ima bum) and have “affordable” health care–unfortunately, nothing I have been to the doctor for recently is covered. Insurance companies win on THIS one! Bring EVERY SINGLE TROOP BACK HOME! We do NOT need to babysit every friggin’ country outside of our borders. We have wars on housing, education, equality , ageism in our own backyard that need to be taken care of. If our taxes were just raised a little bit, then we would be able to enjoy a better quality of life. I have much more to say but I better just stop because I feel my blood pressure rising and my health care sucks so there’s nothing I can do about it.http://atypical60.com/2015/08/30/taking-hippie-back/
