Delusional Donald Trump: “I’ll Win the Latino Vote”

He’s not right … in the head
Wingnuts • Views: 69,676

Yes, folks! He really did say this!

“I have a great relationship with the Mexican people. I have many people working for me…I have many legal immigrants working for me,” Trump said in a Wednesday interview with NBC News. “They love me, I love them.”

“If I get the nomination, I’ll win the Latino vote,” he added.

Breitbart hack John Nolte absolutely loves this kind of delusional turn-speak, of course.

And to top it off…two calls from Microsoft support this day already. I guess they have no way of keeping track of the 685 times they’ve tried that shit at this phone number without any bites from me.

Strange days!

…

Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They’re going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town

Yeah!

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it

Yeah!

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone

One of my best sources is Angel list. They feature startups and I have start up experience and love working in a non corporate environment. A few days ago I got this back from a company that was looking for marketing support.

I can create a rainbow with a lawn sprinkler and floodlight. I don’t think it’s quite the miraculous thing that wingnuts make it out to be.

Also, the Noah’s Ark story is the most absurd in the Bible, hands down. If you believe in a literal interpretation of it, seek psychiatric care. Unless your translation of it has Noah rounding up Koalas and Arctic Hares, and landing on Mount St. Elias when the flood receded. One would think god would be aware of high mountains outside of the middle east, and of animals unfamiliar to ancient middle eastern pastoralists.

Just showed my kids Deray’s timeline and explained what a plantation was. I showed them the slave quarters and my daughter (she’s 10) said: That’s not that bad. I had to stop that right quick. This is why most people my age today think slavery was not that bad. They weren’t taught real history. I asked her if she’d like to live in one of those. To cook her masters meals, then go to the quarters with scraps to eat, IF that. To be whipped for not working fast enough. Not being able to read (she loves reading). I could literally go on and on about what happened to them.

I have to admit, I was embarrassed she said that. But I have to remember, she’s only 10.

One thing I’ve noticed about a lot of fundamentalists is that they worship such a small god. They claim god created everything but in their minds “everything” is just what they can see. They have no real conception of the size of the universe; their thinking stops outside the atmosphere. God put all the animals on an ark; you know, the doggies and the kitties and the giraffes. Again, no conception of the number of species around so they don’t realize how stupid the idea is.

Of course, they are really worshiping a book, the god they can hold in their hands and beat other people with. Bibolaters all.

Totally absurd indeed, but the story did inspire some of the funniest and most brilliant parts of “Finnegans Wake.” Unfortunately, Ham’s “curse” — because he saw his old man blind drunk and nekkid!!! — gave slave owners and their churches a justification for enslaving a countless number of human beings.

Answers in Genesis aren’t building an ark, even they know it would not be seaworthy. It is a boat shaped building. A landboat like a 72 Lincoln Continental is more of a boat than their ark.

Was this picked up by anyone yesterday? Kansas Gov. Brownback is being a dick about same-sex marriage.

EQKS Equality Kansas - BREAKING: Governor Brownback issues religious objection executive order

Early this afternoon, Governor Sam Brownback issued a “religious objection” executive order. The Governor, who earlier this year criticized and rescinded former Governor Sebelius’ 2007 non-discrimination order as an abuse of executive authority, has taken it upon himself to abuse the United States Constitution.

Our initial interpretation of this order is simple: It’s one part scare tactics, one part ducking his constitutional responsibility.

According to the order, clergy will not be required to officiate at same-sex marriages. No kidding. This has never happened, is not happening, and will never happen. This part of the order is nothing but political scare tactic.

The rest of the order is more problematic. The plain language seems to suggest that religious organizations that have contracts to provide taxpayer-funded social services will be able to deny taxpayer-funded services to LGBT Kansans. We are still having this analyzed by our attorneys, but if this proves to be the case, the Governor should be prepared to find himself on the losing end of more expensive litigation.

We are incredibly disappointed by Governor Brownback. Instead of treating LGBT Kansans fairly, his only act has been to double-down on treating us as second class citizens.

We’re having our attorneys evaluate the specifics of the order. What follows is the full text. Be prepared to be angry.

Yup. No mention in the Bible of a keel, rudder, etc. or any means of propulsion to keep it from turning broadside to the waves. Basically what is described is just a big box which would break apart and capsize with even small waves.

Gohmert: Ginsburg, Kagan ‘Violated the Constitution’ by Not Recusing Themselves from Gay Marriage Ruling

“Two of our justices - Kagan and Ginsberg - had presided over same-sex marriage. So there was no question they believed it was constitutional. That means they were disqualified. The law 28 USC 455 says: ‘Any justice, judge or magistrate of the United States shall disqualify’ - not maybe - ‘shall disqualify in any proceeding in which impartiality might reasonably be questioned,’” Gohmert said.

As cnsnews.com previously reported, Ginsburg officiated the gay marriage ceremony of Michael Kahn, artistic director of the Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington, and Charles Mitchem, who works for an architecture firm in New York. Kagan also officiated a same-sex marriage ceremony.

Yeah, yet there is a huge gradient as shown by the black crust. Not sure what the silica content is in that lava. So what we see in color even at the cracks is a lot lower than the liquid heart of it. Silica flows well north of 3000F, not sure what mix of elements is in that lava.

Never mind that you can have an adopted child, meaning that the child is not a blood relation to any of the parents. Or that IVF allows for the possibility that a child is not a blood relation.

And then you have potential SSM situations where not all of those cohabiting are blood relations (children not related to one or more of the parents).

That is just a stupid question. The “correct” answer doesn’t seem to be a very good definition of family either. I have some very close friends that I have known for decades and we all care very deeply about each other, but they aren’t family. I also have some members of my extended family I don’t give a frack about, but they are still family.

Nice.

“My party is in a hole with Hispanics — the first rule of politics when you’re in a hole is stop digging,” Mr. Graham said after a foreign policy speech in Washington. “And somebody needs to take the shovel out of Donald Trump’s hand.”

Mr. Graham, the presidential candidate from South Carolina, disputed Mr. Trump’s assertion that Mexican immigrants who cross into the United States are rapists and criminals, adding that he did not need a lecture from the billionaire businessman on border security.

“Most of them are good hard-working people cleaning our toilets, picking the crops that we all enjoy, changing the beds and working three or four jobs in the shadows to try to keep their family afloat,” Mr. Graham said.

Hate crime charges sought in July 4 beating

Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell has reconsidered and is asking Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters to pursue hate crime charges in the Government Square attack that left a white man beaten and bloody on the Fourth of July.

Police Officer Alicia Essert called the beating “anti-white” in the incident report, but at a news conference about the incident, Cincinnati Police Capt. Mike Neville backed off that claim, calling it a “mistake.”

A news release from the police department issued Wednesday did not explain the reversal.

Mountain west showers and t-storms are often quite a sight to behold. And rarely as violent as the ones on the great plains.

Going to Colorado on vacation in August. Always try to time the hikes so that I’m back at the trailhead by 2 pm to avoid getting rained on. The storms don’t always cooperate.

Well, first of all she’s wrong about Ontario having ‘socialized health care’. We have ‘single payer insurance’ run by provincial governments, with money that comes from the federal government. Although this money is slowly being reduced to ‘balance the budget.’ By which Our Dear Leader means, “cut off funding so it collapses and then we can replace it with wonderful US style health care like they did before that commie Obama fucked it up.”

Doctors have private practices and they charge their services to the insurance set up by provincial governments.

As to the rest I can’t say off the top of my head.

But due to the massive mistake about ‘socialized health care’ I’m sure the whole thing is started by a wingnut. Perhaps even one here in Ontario. Unfortunately we have them too.

As long as I’m pontificating, here’s a good article on the differences between Canadian and American health care before the ACA, and here’s another.

I have suggested various alternatives if the folk of Lubbock ever get around to changing the name of the place. That would require them to believe that a Confederate bushwhacker and ardent slavery promoter is an unsuitable namesake, something that is unlikely in the near future. Even so, I have suggested both “Orange Cone,” for the city’s best known landmarks, and “Dunning-Kruger” for the basis of local culture.

The best serious choice, though, might be a reversion to “Monterrey,” which was actually the town’s name for a brief period after its founding.

Also note that GOHMERT! didn’t tell Clarence Thomas to recuse from the ACA cases even though his wife worked as a lobbyist against ACA. Double standard much?

That’s different because reasons.

He’s aware that the Nazis peaked at ~42% of the vote—right?

Delusional Christians are funny.

Obviously, the president doesn’t seem to believe that the Old Testament stories of Noah’s Ark and Sodom and Gomorrah were actual events in history.

This raises a question for biblical literalists that hadn’t occurred to me before.

What changed about water droplets in air (or about sunlight) such that there were no rainbows before the supposed promise to Noah, and rainbows afterward?

The physics of rainbows is simple enough that literalists don’t have much room for their normal bullshit.

Their physics consists of one thing: “Were you there?”

These are the same people who say radioactive dating is worthless because decay took place much faster at first. Never mind that that would have vaporized the Earth—“Were you there?”

These are the same people who claim that the speed of light has changed over time to account for the light that has reached the Earth from over 6,000 light-years away.
