Hawking: “Trump Appeals to the Lowest Common Denominator” http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/stephen-hawking-trump-223707
“The famed British scientist told ITV’s morning show on Monday that he doesn’t get how Trump has gotten as far as he has, while calling the candidate “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator…
…Trump has made false links between vaccines and autism, has denied the science of climate change, and has even claimed that there is no drought in drought-stricken California…
…At any rate, it will be interesting to see if Trump responds with a foul-mouthed tweet storm against Hawking in which he’s trashed as “a very mediocre physicist” who is also a “wheelchair-bound loser.”

American Fascists Fighting for Trump
No, Really. Some Trump Supporters are just Plain Fascist ~
Trump retweet:
“@FrankyLamouche: how many of donald’s rolling thunder brigade will sign up and go to war for him in the middle east.”
What’s striking is the number of people saying here and elsewhere that they will fight for Trump(not the USA) http://crooksandliars.com/2016/05/no-really-some-trump-supporters-are-just
[Do you think there’s something about this moment in America that makes the country vulnerable to someone like Trump? Because as you noted, it’s hard to say that America is really in a horrible place.
No, this country has the strongest economy in the world and is still the strongest military power in the world without any close rival. The trends are not downward unless you were offended by the presence of a black man in the White House.]
“If you don’t understand that the Donald Trump campaign is succeeding with Republicans because it promises a return to White supremacy, and that therefore it is a fundamentally fascist movement based on a falsely “patriotic” race war, you don’t understand this year in American politics.”

Despite the long-understood promise of 72 virgins waiting in paradise for jihadi martyrs, a new translation by a Muslim scholar reveals that the actual reward is 72 raisins.
Canadian academic Irshad Manji appeared on CNN with Fareed Zakariah this Sunday. Zakariah was hosting a special called Why They Hate Us which explored hatred of the west in the Muslim world.
Manji maintained that it was dried fruit that would be enjoyed by suicide bombers:
“The word for virgin has been mistranslated. The original word that was used in the Koran was the word for raisin. Martyrs would get raisins in heaven, not virgins.” http://hotair.com/archives/2016/05/25/jokes-on-you-osama-koran-expert-says-72-raisins-await-martyrs-in-paradise/

What numerous media outlets didn’t include in Hawking’s discussion about Trump with ITV…
The Media Is Ignoring The Most Important Part Of Stephen Hawking’s Comments On Trump http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/05/31/3783216/stephen-hawking-donald-trump-climate-change/
“A more immediate danger is runaway climate change,” Hawking said. “A rise in ocean temperature would melt the ice-caps, and cause a release of large amounts of carbon dioxide from the ocean floor. Both effects could make our climate like that of Venus, with a temperature of 250 degrees.”
“…Hawking has been warning about the long-term dangers of climate change for years. In 2007, Hawking spoke of scientists’ duty to…
…Since then, Hawking has continued to speak about his concerns about the impacts of climate change, which climate scientists say will include sea-level rise, more extreme weather, food shortages, and increased violent conflicts.
Trump, on the other hand, has said he does not believe climate change exists. Last week, he promised to undo essentially every major climate policy developed in the last decade if elected president.”

The “vetting” Trump claimed delayed the process wasn’t very good.
One group Trump donated to…benefits fundraisers, not veterans https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/31/one-group-trump-donated-to-benefits-fundraisers-not-veterans/
“The Foundation for American Veterans, based in Michigan, received an “F” from the group CharityWatch. The Better Business Bureau issued an “alert” about the group in January, citing “a pattern and high volume of complaints and customer reviews” that alleged customers received “a high volume of what they consider to be harassing phone calls” from the group’s solicitors.
One of the charities that Donald Trump selected to receive a donation from his veterans’ fundraiser is a group with a rating of “F” from CharityWatch…
…An examination of the group’s tax filings shows that the foundation spent just $2.4 million of its total $8 million budget on helping veterans directly in 2014.
The group spent the rest of the money in 2014 on fundraising and management expenses, with $3.5 million paid out to professional fundraising companies. Another $2 million went toward salaries and general expenses, including billing and collection services.”

Hillary Clinton Storms CNN And Crushes Trump’s Puny $5 Million Donation To Vets ~
Didn’t Drump once petition to have try NYC streets swept up from peddling vets who lowered real estate prices ❓
…”I’ve also worked starting as First Lady to deal with some of the problems veterans had, whether it was Agent Orange or whether it was the mysterious illnesses they were bringing back from the Gulf War. I worked as a Senator on the Armed Services Committee on many things. For example, increasing death benefits for families of the fallen from just $12,000 to $100,000, and I worked with Sen. Lindsey Graham to expand healthcare to National Guard and Reserve members, so much of the work I’ve done has meant tens of millions of dollars in increased benefits to veterans and their families as well as a personal commitment”
“When compared to a career that has been spent making life better for veterans and their families, Donald Trump’s little donation seems like an afterthought. The only reason Trump held his “fundraiser” was that he was trying to upstage a Republican presidential debate that he was not participating in. Donald Trump has never shown a commitment to veterans, and his lack of commitment was made obvious by the fact that the media had to hound him into donating the money…
…Trump’s self-serving motivation for cutting a few dozen checks. Trump never cared about vets before he needed a gimmick on debate night, and his idea of helping seems to be to write a check and walk away.
There will only be one presidential candidate on the ballot in November who has actually been there for America’s vets, and Hillary Clinton’s record puts Trump’s fake concern for the problems our veterans face to shame.”

“Trump creates well-paying jobs for women and minorities?”
“Why would I believe that?”
…because you know that buildings don’t build themselves and businesses in those buildings don’t manage themselves and he has many projects in counyries with few white people and Trump doesn’t work alone.

None-the-less… you mistook my statement for a question… you may notice the period in place of a question mark down there at the end.
“So you agree Hilary has a firm record of supporting destruction and those who destroy while Trump has been supporting creators and those who create.”
You have already bragged that Hilary has given more money to those who destroy than Trump has… not to mention things like the chaos in Libya under her direction. A minute or two of internet research will show that even the most anti-Trump websites admit he has created a large number of successful constructions throughout the world which still exist and are important to the local economy… and Trump was creating them even as Hilary was pushing for the destruction of similar constructions in other countries.
Soooo… your position is clear. No question was necessary.
Tbone, you are a despicable baby-killer enabler… an advocate for destruction that disproportionately affects the poor and minority… a champion of disorder that overwhelmingly damages the lives of women and children.
You fight openly against a man responsible for killing nobody… with a 30+ year record of creating jobs and promoting economic stability for women, children, and the financially disadvantaged.
Wow, thanks for that link to benadryl, Setnaffa. I’d never heard of this, and it’s pretty sobering. Important to note benadryl (and similar formulas) aren’t the only medications with anti-cholinergic properties. Lots of psych meds are anti-cholinergic, too…as well as some anti-nausea medications.
Geez. Think I’ll throw out my ZQuil now.
They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.
Just since he announced his candidacy a year ago, at least 70 new cases…
…And the records review found at least 50 civil lawsuits remain open …
…He sometimes responds to even small disputes with overwhelming legal force. He doesn’t hesitate to deploy his wealth and legal firepower against adversaries with limited resources, such as homeowners. He sometimes refuses to pay real estate brokers, lawyers and other vendors.
As he campaigns, Trump often touts his skills as a negotiator. The analysis shows that lawsuits are one of his primary negotiating tools. He turns to litigation to distance himself from failing projects…
…As USA TODAY previously reported, he also uses the legal system to haggle over his property tax bills. His companies have been involved in more than 100 tax disputes, and the New York State Department of Finance has obtained liens on Trump properties for unpaid tax bills at least three dozen times.
And despite his boasts on the campaign trail that he “never” settles lawsuits, for fear of encouraging more, he and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases reviewed by USA TODAY…
…Alan Garten, general counsel for the Trump Organization said…”I think we have far less litigation of companies of our size.”
However, even by those measures, the number of cases in which Trump is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the legal involvement for five top real-estate business executives:
…To maintain an apples-to-apples comparison, only actions that used the developers’ names were included. The analysis found Trump has been involved in more legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined…
…In lawsuits over his Trump University, he testified that he had never met instructors who were described in the university’s promotional materials as being “handpicked” by him. “It depends on the definition of what that means, handpicked,” Trump said during an exchange with a lawyer in a sworn deposition last December…
…The number of lawsuits raises questions about potential conflicts and complications if Trump does win the White House. Dozens of cases remain unresolved…,
…It raises the possibility of individuals being sued by the president of the United States, or suing him, in non-governmental disputes.
Under the law, Trump wouldn’t get special advantages as the plaintiff — or protections as a defendant. Under long-standing conflict-of-interest rules, as a plaintiff he couldn’t improperly benefit from governmental knowledge.
He also wouldn’t get immunity from civil litigation that stemmed from events prior to taking office…”
Problem with trololo’s choices is they lie to roll over and play dead when the enemies of freedom approach us. Trump’s willing to fight–and win–and that make him immensely more appealing that serial liars and actual government parasites.
Maybe it’s the pain from a recent surgery, the current election season, or just how innocent paint-chip pretends to be at times; but I do wish I could get all three over and done with.

Drumpfs PGA Cadillac World Golf Championship in Miami, Fl Stolen from Him ~ Moving to Mexico but Not for Political Reasons… http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/02/politics/trump-pga-championship-moved/
“PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said the decision to move to Mexico was purely financial and not related to Trumpf’s racist views.
Finchem said:
[“Some of the reaction revolves around the feeling that this is political exercise, and it is not that in any way, shape or form. The decision here was based on the reality that we are not able to secure sponsorship for next year’s WGC at Doral or for years out for that matter.”]
Trouble getting sponsors? Could that be *partly* due to Trumpf’s divisive policies and the taint they leave on any companies that align themselves with him? Ya think?
Trump responded when hearing the news:
[“They’re moving it to Mexico City — which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. But they’re moving it to Mexico City. And I’m saying, you know, what’s going on here? It’s so sad when you look what’s going on with our country.”]

Theodore Roosevelt
Address to the Knights of Columbus
New York City- October 12th, 1915
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism.
When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.”
“This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”
“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.”
“The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.”
On his(reportedly compiled with the help of conservative think tanks)
list of possible Supreme Court judges he did not discuss the merits of any of the individuals on his list.
To hear what Trump really thinks about the function of the judiciary, it’s more illuminating to pay attention to what he says in his customary ad-lib style…
…“Well, I’d probably appoint people that would look very seriously at her e-mail disaster, because it’s a criminal activity, and I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that to start off with…,”
…For starters, Trump’s statement reveals substantial ignorance about how the Supreme Court works. The justices don’t initiate cases or investigations; they hear appeals of cases decided in the lower courts. More important, the statement reveals Trump’s mindset when it comes to judges. As in most other areas, Trump is transactional about the judiciary. He appears to have no interest in legal philosophy per se; rather, he divides judges, as he divides most others, into the categories of friend and foe. What matters is not how judges think, but where they come out—on Trump’s side, or not.
This was most apparent in Trump’s extraordinary comments last week about United States District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a class-action fraud case against Trump in connection with the now-defunct Trump University…
…”There should be no trial. This should have been dismissed on summary judgment easily.” He added, “Everybody says it, but I have a judge who is a hater of Donald Trump, a hater. He’s a hater. His name is Gonzalo Curiel.” Trump went on, “The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great, I think that’s fine.” The case, Trump concluded, was “rigged” against him. “This court system, the judges in this court system, federal court. They ought to look into Judge Curiel, because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace,” Trump said.
At a minimum, the attack was factually inaccurate. Curiel is not a “Mexican” but, rather, an American citizen who was born in East Chicago, Indiana.
In 2014, President Obama nominated him to be a trial judge. This is, in short, not the record of any kind of “hater” but, rather, a story of an American dream vindicated. The only specific grounds for criticism that Trump and his team have offered (besides Curiel’s failure to rule for Trump) is that the judge is a member of…
…(The Volokh Conspiracy, a generally conservative legal blog hosted by the Washington Post, has a scathing analysis of Trump’s speech about Curiel.)
…But Trump’s complaints are more revealing even than the decisions that irk him. Trump has no apparent philosophy of how judges make decisions; he doesn’t even attempt something as simple, and revealing, as George W. Bush’s antipathy for judges who “legislate from the bench.” For Trump, rather, judging is all personal, at least as far as he is concerned. He has no discernible views on judges except about whether they agree with him, case by case. As illustrated by his attacks on Judge Curiel, Trump’s style is bigoted name-calling, not reasoned critique. That’s his pattern—and not just about judges.”

And tell Drumpf’s ignorant/uneducated GOPer supporters.
…So here is a reminder (via KWTX-TV)that despite all of this, Starr remains full of __it”
The email is from a woman who said she was raped by former Baylor football player Tevin Elliott, who was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for a separate sexual assault. The subject line is “I Was Raped at Baylor,” and the list of people it was sent to includes Starr. During the report, images of the email scroll across the screen before cutting back to Starr.
The interview continues but longtime GOP fixer Merrie Spaeth (who previously coached Starr before his testimony in support of impeaching Bill Clinton) starts taking action off-camera. In the package, Hays says that’s when Spaeth told her news director that they couldn’t use that part of the interview. The news director refuses, so Spaeth interrupts, saying she needs to talk to Starr. This comes at about 1:34 in the video, and I suggest watching it to see just how adamant Spaeth is about halting the interview.
Spaeth and Starr walk away, then return with Spaeth telling the reporter to ask Starr the question again. Hays does. This time Starr gives answer No. 2.
Go to minute 2:23 of the video to watch him give this answer because, in that moment, you can see him turning to Spaeth for help. He even asks her out loud, “Is that OK?”
Later Starr gives answer No. 3 (at the 2:33 mark of the video). He’s even more emphatic this time: …

NKorea Password to its version of Facebook is…
And USA has not been able to defeat these hillbillies in 65 years, WTF 🙄 http://crooksandliars.com/2016/06/psst-password-north-koreas-facebook
“The British publication Mirror UK reveals that it doesn’t take a lot of creativity to hack Kim Jong-un:
A British teenager hacked North Korea’s version of Facebook after correctly guessing a password on Kim Jong-un’s internet servers.
He used “admin” and the default password “password” to gain access to the site’s admin page and says he could delete and suspend users, change the site’s name, censor certain words and manage the adverts.
“Once I logged in I was able to see the sites statistics, basic user information, site settings and change the site’s adverts.
The teenager who gained access says he was “expecting an error”.
He said: “I was surprised it even worked, surely this should have been changed before going live?”
His advice for North Korean officials is to “always test for vulnerabilities before making a site live, and of course, change the default password”.

Kidnapping in the USA remains one of the most common crimes, however…”Kidnapping statistics for U.S. adults continue to remain elusive, noting that the crime of kidnapping is not separately recorded by the Uniform Crime Report.”

Tbone, Mexico is totally safe. I recommend vacationing in Chihuahua.
For others: http://www.vocativ.com/underworld/crime/places-youre-likely-get-kidnapped-vacation/ “Kidnapping isn’t a new threat in Mexico, but it is now endemic. In the last decade, kidnappings have grown 245 percent (and that’s just reported incidents). Last year, almost 1,583 kidnapping cases were reported to Mexican authorities—the highest number since Mexico began tracking kidnapping stats in 1997.
Trump is right.
There’s really no reason for a Hillary versus Trump debate. Her record speaks for itself. I cannot think of a single, solitary good thing she has ever done as a politician…either indirectly (when she took the Champus system and ruined it for an experiment, under her husband’s tenure) or as Sec of State. She is a nightmare and a crook.

Liz is just upset that Drumpf’s PGA golf championship is moving from her state of Florida to Mexico, you might try helping Drumpf find sponsors?
Liz, since we’re on the Florida topic do you think our USA President Barack Obama should skirt/ignore congress since they won’t give you/Rick Scott/Florida $$$ for the Zika virus and call an executive order to shell out federal $$$ himself ❓
The GOP led senate tried to sneak a Zika bill but they attached an effort to weaken the EPA at the same time, good luck Florida/Rick Scott 😆
Florida Gov. Rick Scott cries out for Zika assistance, but his fellow Republicans aren’t listening http://m.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/2/1533620/-Florida-Gov-Rick-Scott-cries-out-for-Zika-assistance-but-his-fellow-Republicans-aren-t-listening
“Rick Scott is just one of many Republican governors who took their seat by running against those money-grabbers in Washington, despite the fact that Florida residents get back $4.60 for every $1 paid in federal tax. But even the most state-rightest of state-righters comes hurrying to D.C. when there’s a disaster looming. Unfortunately for Scott, his fellow go-it-alone Tea Party pals in the legislature are bottling up funding for Zika.
[Florida will experience a “disaster” with the Zika virus if federal authorities don’t immediately provide money to help battle the virus, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Wednesday.
Scott, who had already visited Washington, D.C., in an effort to get Congress to act, sent a strongly worded letter to President Barack Obama asking the federal government to do something. The Republican governor called it “profoundly disappointing” that Congress has not taken “immediate action.”]
President Obama has been asking Congress to act for the last four months, so hitting him with the “strongly worded letter” might not be all that effective. However, at least Scott seems to recognize that the Republican-dominated Congress is the over-sized turd in this pipeline.
[White House spokesman Josh Earnest responded to the letter by saying that “we hope that Republicans in Congress will finally get the message” and approve the $1.9 billion that the president has been seeking. Congress is currently divided over how much money to spend to battle the virus, which can cause grave birth defects and be spread by certain mosquitoes.]
Divided is one way to put it. But not divided Republicans against Democrats. The Congress is divided conservative Republicans vs. batshit Conservative Republicans who don’t care how many babies are sacrificed on the altar of their egos.
Florida currently has 162 diagnosed cases of Zika, including 38 pregnant women. And just to add a bit of extra-darkness to an already bleak issue…
[Health officials announced Wednesday that a tourist contracted dengue fever in Key West. The mosquitoes that carry dengue also transmit Zika and other viruses. ]
Dengue is also known as “break-bone fever” for the severity of pain it causes.
The Senate passed a Zika funding bill with $1.1B in funds. However, though the House passed a bill that is supposedly a Zika bill, it’s actually a re-labelled bill that removes restrictions on pesticides—House Republicans are using Zika in an attempt to weaken the EPA. The result is that there are two bills with nothing in common, making the task of any conference committee impossible.”

“The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican”
When someone is a member of an organization which pushes Latino interests over American intetests, they are not only racist but also anti-American…
…especially when one takes a look at Latino nations and wonders what aspects of those cesspools of crime, corruption, filth, and empty pride should be promoted in America.
This judge may not be Mexican… but he is a member of a race/ethnic-based group that supports those who would be most affected by President Trump’s policies… and his membership shows he is not colorblind.

Hawking: “Trump Appeals to the Lowest Common Denominator”
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/stephen-hawking-trump-223707
“The famed British scientist told ITV’s morning show on Monday that he doesn’t get how Trump has gotten as far as he has, while calling the candidate “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator…
…Trump has made false links between vaccines and autism, has denied the science of climate change, and has even claimed that there is no drought in drought-stricken California…
…At any rate, it will be interesting to see if Trump responds with a foul-mouthed tweet storm against Hawking in which he’s trashed as “a very mediocre physicist” who is also a “wheelchair-bound loser.”
American Fascists Fighting for Trump
No, Really. Some Trump Supporters are just Plain Fascist ~
Trump retweet:
“@FrankyLamouche: how many of donald’s rolling thunder brigade will sign up and go to war for him in the middle east.”
What’s striking is the number of people saying here and elsewhere that they will fight for Trump(not the USA)
http://crooksandliars.com/2016/05/no-really-some-trump-supporters-are-just
[Do you think there’s something about this moment in America that makes the country vulnerable to someone like Trump? Because as you noted, it’s hard to say that America is really in a horrible place.
No, this country has the strongest economy in the world and is still the strongest military power in the world without any close rival. The trends are not downward unless you were offended by the presence of a black man in the White House.]
“If you don’t understand that the Donald Trump campaign is succeeding with Republicans because it promises a return to White supremacy, and that therefore it is a fundamentally fascist movement based on a falsely “patriotic” race war, you don’t understand this year in American politics.”
The really sad thing, tbone, is that you actually appear to believe what you’ve been quoting… If you told us roughly where you live (metro area), I could get you in touch with the Salvation Army or someone who could get you in rehab or counseling…

Despite the long-understood promise of 72 virgins waiting in paradise for jihadi martyrs, a new translation by a Muslim scholar reveals that the actual reward is 72 raisins.
Canadian academic Irshad Manji appeared on CNN with Fareed Zakariah this Sunday. Zakariah was hosting a special called Why They Hate Us which explored hatred of the west in the Muslim world.
Manji maintained that it was dried fruit that would be enjoyed by suicide bombers:
“The word for virgin has been mistranslated. The original word that was used in the Koran was the word for raisin. Martyrs would get raisins in heaven, not virgins.”

I think that CH quote was in the context of an ebola conversation, but it still applies when speaking generally..
I wonder if women’s restrooms will still be cleaner now that some of them will be peeing standing up. This brave new world has put a damper on a lot of things.

What numerous media outlets didn’t include in Hawking’s discussion about Trump with ITV…
The Media Is Ignoring The Most Important Part Of Stephen Hawking’s Comments On Trump
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/05/31/3783216/stephen-hawking-donald-trump-climate-change/
“A more immediate danger is runaway climate change,” Hawking said. “A rise in ocean temperature would melt the ice-caps, and cause a release of large amounts of carbon dioxide from the ocean floor. Both effects could make our climate like that of Venus, with a temperature of 250 degrees.”
“…Hawking has been warning about the long-term dangers of climate change for years. In 2007, Hawking spoke of scientists’ duty to…
…Since then, Hawking has continued to speak about his concerns about the impacts of climate change, which climate scientists say will include sea-level rise, more extreme weather, food shortages, and increased violent conflicts.
Trump, on the other hand, has said he does not believe climate change exists. Last week, he promised to undo essentially every major climate policy developed in the last decade if elected president.”

Trololo, you need to keep up. You’re quoting Democrats who want old white people to tell you how to run your life. You’d do better finding someone who genuinely cares about you.
The “vetting” Trump claimed delayed the process wasn’t very good.
One group Trump donated to…benefits fundraisers, not veterans
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/31/one-group-trump-donated-to-benefits-fundraisers-not-veterans/
“The Foundation for American Veterans, based in Michigan, received an “F” from the group CharityWatch. The Better Business Bureau issued an “alert” about the group in January, citing “a pattern and high volume of complaints and customer reviews” that alleged customers received “a high volume of what they consider to be harassing phone calls” from the group’s solicitors.
One of the charities that Donald Trump selected to receive a donation from his veterans’ fundraiser is a group with a rating of “F” from CharityWatch…
…An examination of the group’s tax filings shows that the foundation spent just $2.4 million of its total $8 million budget on helping veterans directly in 2014.
The group spent the rest of the money in 2014 on fundraising and management expenses, with $3.5 million paid out to professional fundraising companies. Another $2 million went toward salaries and general expenses, including billing and collection services.”
When Hillary donates money it goes directly into her (and/or Bill’s) accounts. Their generosity must be overwhelming, because between the time when Bill entered the White House and now they’re up hundreds of millions.
Hillary Clinton Storms CNN And Crushes Trump’s Puny $5 Million Donation To Vets ~
Didn’t Drump once petition to have try NYC streets swept up from peddling vets who lowered real estate prices ❓
And isn’t Drump now using vets as props ❓
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/31/hillary-clinton-storms-cnn-crushes-trumps-puny-5-million-donation-vets.html
“When asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if she has given money to vets, and what she has done for veterans, Clinton answered:
…”I’ve also worked starting as First Lady to deal with some of the problems veterans had, whether it was Agent Orange or whether it was the mysterious illnesses they were bringing back from the Gulf War. I worked as a Senator on the Armed Services Committee on many things. For example, increasing death benefits for families of the fallen from just $12,000 to $100,000, and I worked with Sen. Lindsey Graham to expand healthcare to National Guard and Reserve members, so much of the work I’ve done has meant tens of millions of dollars in increased benefits to veterans and their families as well as a personal commitment”
“When compared to a career that has been spent making life better for veterans and their families, Donald Trump’s little donation seems like an afterthought. The only reason Trump held his “fundraiser” was that he was trying to upstage a Republican presidential debate that he was not participating in. Donald Trump has never shown a commitment to veterans, and his lack of commitment was made obvious by the fact that the media had to hound him into donating the money…
…Trump’s self-serving motivation for cutting a few dozen checks. Trump never cared about vets before he needed a gimmick on debate night, and his idea of helping seems to be to write a check and walk away.
There will only be one presidential candidate on the ballot in November who has actually been there for America’s vets, and Hillary Clinton’s record puts Trump’s fake concern for the problems our veterans face to shame.”

“Chickenhead I just showed Liz what Hillary has done by copy/pasta”
So you agree that Hilary is part of the problem…
…taking food from the mouths of poor people and minorities and giving it to greedy baby killers and their lazy dependants.
With a documented history of such actions that she openly brags about, I can see why you are voting for Trump, who has never done such a thing.
I agree… and could never vote for Hilary now that I know she is just another warmonger ignoring the needs of those who need her most.
Keep up the good work Tbone. With your help, Trump will win in 2016.
“…taking food from the mouths of poor people and minorities and giving it to greedy baby killers and their lazy dependants.”
The topic was Drumpf’s donations(Liz pulled the bait/switch to Hillary) and while I appreciate your quote above(I’ll use it from here forward) that wasn’t how Liz was looking at it nor the typical GOP loving audience here such as yourself. However, since you brought up “two sides of mouth” and while you blame black people for copying the white man M O of burning down the house you like Drumpf who will crash & burn America(not just the neighborhood). While Bush and the GOP nearly did so during his 2 terms Drumpf will ruin all the good our President Barack Obama has done.
So you agree that Hilary gives money to baby killers and their dependents while Trump creates well-paying jobs for women and minorities?
“Trump creates well-paying jobs for women and minorities?”
Why would I believe that?
“Hilary gives money to baby killers and their dependents?”
Babies, I don’t know(probably in some instances) and not as straightforward as that. Obviously(duh Egghead), Hillary helped to increase benefits costing taxpayers big $$$ for some former invading killers/invading supporters of killers & their families.
CH, I really don’t think that’s his mouth…
But you did get him ad-libbing poorly… so that’s a plus.
In the minus side is that he still really needs rehab… and some medicated rinse…
So you agree Hilary has a firm record of supporting destruction and those who destroy while Trump has been supporting creators and those who create.

Staffers of Color Are Walking Away From the RNC and Rumors Say It’s Because of Trump
03/31/2016
http://www.mediaite.com/online/staffers-of-color-are-walking-away-from-the-rnc-and-rumors-say-its-because-of-trump/
“Donald Trump‘s relationship with voters of color has been a contentious one. There have been gaffes that he has ignored by insisting over and over again how beloved he is in the black community.
Republican National Committee’s Director of African American outreach, Kristal Quarker-Hartsfield, is leaving the organization. Quarker-Hartsfield will leave her position tomorrow, not even a full month after Orlando Watson, the former Republican National Committee’s Communications Director of Black Media, walked from his post, according to NBC.”

“Head of Hispanic media relations at Republican Natl. Cmte is resigning, the New York Times reports, citing interview with staffer. Ruth Guerra told colleagues this year she was uncomfortable working for Donald Trump, NYT reports citing two RNC aides Guerra to leave for American Action Network, a GOP-aligned super-PAC.
It is relatively rare for party staff members to leave the national committee in the midst of a presidential campaign unless they are going to work directly for the nominee.”
The above minority women are just an example of how any hiring Drumpf does of minorities is easily quashed.
“Why would I answer another one of your EGGHEADED questions when you ignore mine?”
I’m sorry Tbone. You only asked me one question and I ignored it… thinking you were joking. Let me answer it.
“Trump creates well-paying jobs for women and minorities?”
“Why would I believe that?”
…because you know that buildings don’t build themselves and businesses in those buildings don’t manage themselves and he has many projects in counyries with few white people and Trump doesn’t work alone.
We good?
None-the-less… you mistook my statement for a question… you may notice the period in place of a question mark down there at the end.
“So you agree Hilary has a firm record of supporting destruction and those who destroy while Trump has been supporting creators and those who create.”
You have already bragged that Hilary has given more money to those who destroy than Trump has… not to mention things like the chaos in Libya under her direction. A minute or two of internet research will show that even the most anti-Trump websites admit he has created a large number of successful constructions throughout the world which still exist and are important to the local economy… and Trump was creating them even as Hilary was pushing for the destruction of similar constructions in other countries.
Soooo… your position is clear. No question was necessary.
Tbone, you are a despicable baby-killer enabler… an advocate for destruction that disproportionately affects the poor and minority… a champion of disorder that overwhelmingly damages the lives of women and children.
You fight openly against a man responsible for killing nobody… with a 30+ year record of creating jobs and promoting economic stability for women, children, and the financially disadvantaged.
You have done this knowingly and intentionally.
You are a bad human being, Tbone.
Ahem. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/06/wow-obama-tries-trash-donald-trump-turns-stuttering-mess/

Trump’s 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee ~ could have the next USA president in court for many a days for his past personal cases 🙄 😆 😈
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/01/donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/
“Donald Trump is a fighter, famous for legal skirmishes over everything from his golf courses to his tax bills to Trump University.
They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.
Just since he announced his candidacy a year ago, at least 70 new cases…
…And the records review found at least 50 civil lawsuits remain open …
…He sometimes responds to even small disputes with overwhelming legal force. He doesn’t hesitate to deploy his wealth and legal firepower against adversaries with limited resources, such as homeowners. He sometimes refuses to pay real estate brokers, lawyers and other vendors.
As he campaigns, Trump often touts his skills as a negotiator. The analysis shows that lawsuits are one of his primary negotiating tools. He turns to litigation to distance himself from failing projects…
…As USA TODAY previously reported, he also uses the legal system to haggle over his property tax bills. His companies have been involved in more than 100 tax disputes, and the New York State Department of Finance has obtained liens on Trump properties for unpaid tax bills at least three dozen times.
And despite his boasts on the campaign trail that he “never” settles lawsuits, for fear of encouraging more, he and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases reviewed by USA TODAY…
…Alan Garten, general counsel for the Trump Organization said…”I think we have far less litigation of companies of our size.”
However, even by those measures, the number of cases in which Trump is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the legal involvement for five top real-estate business executives:
…To maintain an apples-to-apples comparison, only actions that used the developers’ names were included. The analysis found Trump has been involved in more legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined…
…In lawsuits over his Trump University, he testified that he had never met instructors who were described in the university’s promotional materials as being “handpicked” by him. “It depends on the definition of what that means, handpicked,” Trump said during an exchange with a lawyer in a sworn deposition last December…
…The number of lawsuits raises questions about potential conflicts and complications if Trump does win the White House. Dozens of cases remain unresolved…,
…It raises the possibility of individuals being sued by the president of the United States, or suing him, in non-governmental disputes.
Under the law, Trump wouldn’t get special advantages as the plaintiff — or protections as a defendant. Under long-standing conflict-of-interest rules, as a plaintiff he couldn’t improperly benefit from governmental knowledge.
He also wouldn’t get immunity from civil litigation that stemmed from events prior to taking office…”

Problem with trololo’s choices is they lie to roll over and play dead when the enemies of freedom approach us. Trump’s willing to fight–and win–and that make him immensely more appealing that serial liars and actual government parasites.

setnaffa a Drumpf supporter suggests that Hillary is a “serial liar.” 😆 😆 😆

Hillary Live Now giving foreign policy speech but as a laugh here is Drumpf’s… 😆
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XW8RqLN3Qao
setnaffa challenge is to show us how many lies Hillary made in her 30 minute foreign policy speech?
Here is the definition…of a “serial liar” or compulsive liar…
“A compulsive liar is defined as someone who lies out of habit. Lying is their normal and reflexive way of responding to questions. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large and small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right.”
Millions of people whose arses you’re not worthy to wipe have served and put themselves in danger so your gormless, feckless, pusillanimous, whingey, syphilitic carcass can use up oxygen and food in peace.
Now you address me as an equal. That’s fair, in the eyes of God. We’re both sinners who need a Savior. But you know where you stand in your relationship with God. Since you have publicly rejected Him and chose to cling to a traitor, I call anathema on you unless you repent. And may God have mercy on your soul.
You’re going to die in an eternal fire where the worm and torment never stop.
I thought we had adopted a policy of ignoring BONEHEAD, and letting the inevitable take its course.
Ah well.
What’s the difference between a mallard with bird flu and Tbone’s favourite after work activity? One is a sick duck and I forget the rest, but Tbone’s mom is a whoore.
“Millions of people whose arses you’re not worthy to wipe have served and put themselves in danger so your gormless, feckless, pusillanimous, whingey, syphilitic carcass can use up oxygen and food in peace.”
Sorry to feed you with facts but you/DoD/etc… Did NOTHING for me in Vietnam, Iraq, etc…wake up and stop dreaming now try to prove to us how Hillary lied today in her foreign policy speech. The reason you haven’t done so is because you CAN’T!!! You called Hillary a serial/compulsive liar but how could she be when she spoke for 30 minutes without telling “compulsive lies?”
In Korea Ernst ~ GOP far right extremist ~ pushes back on Trump’s Asia policy
http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2016/06/01/korea-ernst-pushes-back-trumps-asia-policy/85265796/
“The U.S. will not be re-evaluating its trade agreements with South Korea or the military support it provides in the region — no matter what Donald Trump says.
That was the message sent by U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and two other Republican senators this week during a visit to Seoul.
In an interview with the Yonhap News Agency, a Korean wire service, Ernst and U.S. Sens. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, drew a clear distinction between their policy on U.S.-Korea relations and the proposals floated by Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential candidate…
…Ernst — Iowa’s junior senator and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee — and the other senators are on a four-country tour of Asia.”
MTB… he livened things up for a while and served as a catalyst for others to express their views.
He is now wearing thin. Probably time to ignore him again.
Nothing he is cutting and pasting seems intetesting nor informative.
If he would lay out the framework for a solid argument and then back it up with facts, there might be something there.
Instead, he just links to opinion pieces… as “journalists” have found that giving opinions is easier than digging for facts.
I love it how female Joni GOPer Earnst and two other GOP senators travel abroad spreading wise tales behind Drumpf’s back counterdicting what their presidential nominated GOPer says. 😆
Joni Earnst et. al. appear to be unfamiliar with the American system of government and the power of the executive branch on issues such as the ones they are claiming President Trump can’t/won’t address in his way.
Even with a fully uncooperative congress, the president still has a great deal of power to push or block foreign policy agendas.
So they are pretty much talking out their azzes… and Tbone, as a career azzclown, sucks it up.
Drumpfs PGA Cadillac World Golf Championship in Miami, Fl Stolen from Him ~ Moving to Mexico but Not for Political Reasons…
http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/02/politics/trump-pga-championship-moved/
“PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said the decision to move to Mexico was purely financial and not related to Trumpf’s racist views.
Finchem said:
[“Some of the reaction revolves around the feeling that this is political exercise, and it is not that in any way, shape or form. The decision here was based on the reality that we are not able to secure sponsorship for next year’s WGC at Doral or for years out for that matter.”]
Trouble getting sponsors? Could that be *partly* due to Trumpf’s divisive policies and the taint they leave on any companies that align themselves with him? Ya think?
Trump responded when hearing the news:
[“They’re moving it to Mexico City — which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. But they’re moving it to Mexico City. And I’m saying, you know, what’s going on here? It’s so sad when you look what’s going on with our country.”]
Kidnapping insurance? Leave it to Drumpf to react like a bigoted jerk.
Chickenhead obviously doesn’t know what a wise tale is 🙄
Drumpf Without Weave and tan leaves him in this viral picture looking like…wait….wait…….

Word has it Drumpf spent $60 thousand on his weave and pays monthly maintenance fees of $3 thousand plus hiding out his ethically corrupt weave specialist on his same 25th Drumpf tower floor where nobody is allowed past security without permission.
Yeah, Wealthy people are never kidnapped in Mexico……
Yeah, no kidnapping in America either thank goodness 😳
Investigative Journalism is Back, read about Ivari this/that countless names, the owner/weave specialist who blackmails his weave customers, his lawsuits, and relationship with Drumpf…

I had no idea Trump was Dick Cheney with a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy makeover.
” not related to Trumpf’s racist views.”
For the umteenth time: Mexican and Islam are not races.
…but, as usual, we have another example of, when unable to debate with facts, the leftist strategy of screaming racism and interpreting the following silence as winning the argument.
P.S. What is with all the misspellings of Trump? Is this some clever play on words I don’t understand or is it the type of nonsense rhyming name calling that most of us outgrew by 4th grade?
Hilary –> Shrillary = cute
Obama –> Obummer = cute
Trump –> Drumpf = WTF?
The first two have a meaning that relates to characteristics of the subject. The third is… is… is… like a playground taunt from the spaz kid.
Last question: When was the last time there was a real kidnapping for ransom in America? I am not asking about parents or perverts kidnapping children… but adults kidnapping adults for economic gain… you know… like what happens (checks internet statistics) 4.6 times per day in Mexico (less what is not reported).
It’s a pretty tall order to compare kidnappings in Mexico vs. kidnappings in the US.
CH,
I might be wrong but I think Jon Oliver started the Drumpf thing. Apparently Trump’s German ancestors went by Drumpf. Ironic that Oliver finds it okay to make fun of foreign sounding names.
Theodore Roosevelt
Address to the Knights of Columbus
New York City- October 12th, 1915
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism.
When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.”
“This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”
“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.”
“The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.”
WHAT DRUMPF THINKS JUDGES ARE GOOD FOR(by Jeffrey Toobin)
http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/what-donald-trump-thinks-judges-are-good-for
On his(reportedly compiled with the help of conservative think tanks)
list of possible Supreme Court judges he did not discuss the merits of any of the individuals on his list.
To hear what Trump really thinks about the function of the judiciary, it’s more illuminating to pay attention to what he says in his customary ad-lib style…
…“Well, I’d probably appoint people that would look very seriously at her e-mail disaster, because it’s a criminal activity, and I would appoint people that would look very seriously at that to start off with…,”
…For starters, Trump’s statement reveals substantial ignorance about how the Supreme Court works. The justices don’t initiate cases or investigations; they hear appeals of cases decided in the lower courts. More important, the statement reveals Trump’s mindset when it comes to judges. As in most other areas, Trump is transactional about the judiciary. He appears to have no interest in legal philosophy per se; rather, he divides judges, as he divides most others, into the categories of friend and foe. What matters is not how judges think, but where they come out—on Trump’s side, or not.
This was most apparent in Trump’s extraordinary comments last week about United States District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a class-action fraud case against Trump in connection with the now-defunct Trump University…
…”There should be no trial. This should have been dismissed on summary judgment easily.” He added, “Everybody says it, but I have a judge who is a hater of Donald Trump, a hater. He’s a hater. His name is Gonzalo Curiel.” Trump went on, “The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great, I think that’s fine.” The case, Trump concluded, was “rigged” against him. “This court system, the judges in this court system, federal court. They ought to look into Judge Curiel, because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace,” Trump said.
At a minimum, the attack was factually inaccurate. Curiel is not a “Mexican” but, rather, an American citizen who was born in East Chicago, Indiana.
In 2014, President Obama nominated him to be a trial judge. This is, in short, not the record of any kind of “hater” but, rather, a story of an American dream vindicated. The only specific grounds for criticism that Trump and his team have offered (besides Curiel’s failure to rule for Trump) is that the judge is a member of…
…(The Volokh Conspiracy, a generally conservative legal blog hosted by the Washington Post, has a scathing analysis of Trump’s speech about Curiel.)
…But Trump’s complaints are more revealing even than the decisions that irk him. Trump has no apparent philosophy of how judges make decisions; he doesn’t even attempt something as simple, and revealing, as George W. Bush’s antipathy for judges who “legislate from the bench.” For Trump, rather, judging is all personal, at least as far as he is concerned. He has no discernible views on judges except about whether they agree with him, case by case. As illustrated by his attacks on Judge Curiel, Trump’s style is bigoted name-calling, not reasoned critique. That’s his pattern—and not just about judges.”
“Apparently Trump’s German ancestors”
Drumpf’s heritage is Sweedish(per Drumpf). Drumpf denies he’s German ❗
And why can’t kidnappings in one country be compared to another?
“For the umteenth time: Mexican and Islam are not races.”
Tell that to the GOPer…

Ken Starr Faceplants when Confronted with Email Showing he was Told about Rape at Baylor(Video)
http://deadspin.com/ken-starr-faceplants-when-confronted-with-email-showing-1780263253
“The Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr) image rehabilitation tour has begun…,
…So here is a reminder (via KWTX-TV)that despite all of this, Starr remains full of __it”
The email is from a woman who said she was raped by former Baylor football player Tevin Elliott, who was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for a separate sexual assault. The subject line is “I Was Raped at Baylor,” and the list of people it was sent to includes Starr. During the report, images of the email scroll across the screen before cutting back to Starr.
The interview continues but longtime GOP fixer Merrie Spaeth (who previously coached Starr before his testimony in support of impeaching Bill Clinton) starts taking action off-camera. In the package, Hays says that’s when Spaeth told her news director that they couldn’t use that part of the interview. The news director refuses, so Spaeth interrupts, saying she needs to talk to Starr. This comes at about 1:34 in the video, and I suggest watching it to see just how adamant Spaeth is about halting the interview.
Spaeth and Starr walk away, then return with Spaeth telling the reporter to ask Starr the question again. Hays does. This time Starr gives answer No. 2.
Go to minute 2:23 of the video to watch him give this answer because, in that moment, you can see him turning to Spaeth for help. He even asks her out loud, “Is that OK?”
Later Starr gives answer No. 3 (at the 2:33 mark of the video). He’s even more emphatic this time: …
NKorea Password to its version of Facebook is…
And USA has not been able to defeat these hillbillies in 65 years, WTF 🙄
http://crooksandliars.com/2016/06/psst-password-north-koreas-facebook
“The British publication Mirror UK reveals that it doesn’t take a lot of creativity to hack Kim Jong-un:
A British teenager hacked North Korea’s version of Facebook after correctly guessing a password on Kim Jong-un’s internet servers.
He used “admin” and the default password “password” to gain access to the site’s admin page and says he could delete and suspend users, change the site’s name, censor certain words and manage the adverts.
“Once I logged in I was able to see the sites statistics, basic user information, site settings and change the site’s adverts.
The teenager who gained access says he was “expecting an error”.
He said: “I was surprised it even worked, surely this should have been changed before going live?”
His advice for North Korean officials is to “always test for vulnerabilities before making a site live, and of course, change the default password”.
Kidnapping in the USA remains one of the most common crimes, however…”Kidnapping statistics for U.S. adults continue to remain elusive, noting that the crime of kidnapping is not separately recorded by the Uniform Crime Report.”
Tbone, Mexico is totally safe. I recommend vacationing in Chihuahua.
For others:
http://www.vocativ.com/underworld/crime/places-youre-likely-get-kidnapped-vacation/
“Kidnapping isn’t a new threat in Mexico, but it is now endemic. In the last decade, kidnappings have grown 245 percent (and that’s just reported incidents). Last year, almost 1,583 kidnapping cases were reported to Mexican authorities—the highest number since Mexico began tracking kidnapping stats in 1997.
Trump is right.
There’s really no reason for a Hillary versus Trump debate. Her record speaks for itself. I cannot think of a single, solitary good thing she has ever done as a politician…either indirectly (when she took the Champus system and ruined it for an experiment, under her husband’s tenure) or as Sec of State. She is a nightmare and a crook.
Liz is just upset that Drumpf’s PGA golf championship is moving from her state of Florida to Mexico, you might try helping Drumpf find sponsors?
Liz, since we’re on the Florida topic do you think our USA President Barack Obama should skirt/ignore congress since they won’t give you/Rick Scott/Florida $$$ for the Zika virus and call an executive order to shell out federal $$$ himself ❓
The GOP led senate tried to sneak a Zika bill but they attached an effort to weaken the EPA at the same time, good luck Florida/Rick Scott 😆
Florida Gov. Rick Scott cries out for Zika assistance, but his fellow Republicans aren’t listening
http://m.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/2/1533620/-Florida-Gov-Rick-Scott-cries-out-for-Zika-assistance-but-his-fellow-Republicans-aren-t-listening
“Rick Scott is just one of many Republican governors who took their seat by running against those money-grabbers in Washington, despite the fact that Florida residents get back $4.60 for every $1 paid in federal tax. But even the most state-rightest of state-righters comes hurrying to D.C. when there’s a disaster looming. Unfortunately for Scott, his fellow go-it-alone Tea Party pals in the legislature are bottling up funding for Zika.
[Florida will experience a “disaster” with the Zika virus if federal authorities don’t immediately provide money to help battle the virus, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Wednesday.
Scott, who had already visited Washington, D.C., in an effort to get Congress to act, sent a strongly worded letter to President Barack Obama asking the federal government to do something. The Republican governor called it “profoundly disappointing” that Congress has not taken “immediate action.”]
President Obama has been asking Congress to act for the last four months, so hitting him with the “strongly worded letter” might not be all that effective. However, at least Scott seems to recognize that the Republican-dominated Congress is the over-sized turd in this pipeline.
[White House spokesman Josh Earnest responded to the letter by saying that “we hope that Republicans in Congress will finally get the message” and approve the $1.9 billion that the president has been seeking. Congress is currently divided over how much money to spend to battle the virus, which can cause grave birth defects and be spread by certain mosquitoes.]
Divided is one way to put it. But not divided Republicans against Democrats. The Congress is divided conservative Republicans vs. batshit Conservative Republicans who don’t care how many babies are sacrificed on the altar of their egos.
Florida currently has 162 diagnosed cases of Zika, including 38 pregnant women. And just to add a bit of extra-darkness to an already bleak issue…
[Health officials announced Wednesday that a tourist contracted dengue fever in Key West. The mosquitoes that carry dengue also transmit Zika and other viruses. ]
Dengue is also known as “break-bone fever” for the severity of pain it causes.
The Senate passed a Zika funding bill with $1.1B in funds. However, though the House passed a bill that is supposedly a Zika bill, it’s actually a re-labelled bill that removes restrictions on pesticides—House Republicans are using Zika in an attempt to weaken the EPA. The result is that there are two bills with nothing in common, making the task of any conference committee impossible.”
“The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican”
When someone is a member of an organization which pushes Latino interests over American intetests, they are not only racist but also anti-American…
…especially when one takes a look at Latino nations and wonders what aspects of those cesspools of crime, corruption, filth, and empty pride should be promoted in America.
This judge may not be Mexican… but he is a member of a race/ethnic-based group that supports those who would be most affected by President Trump’s policies… and his membership shows he is not colorblind.
So…
Tick, tick, tick…
