Donald Trump Retweets Yet Another Outright Neo-Nazi

Not coincidence
Politics • Views: 58,026

Last November we revealed that the source for Donald Trump’s fake chart showing wildly incorrect “black crime” statistics was an outright neo-Nazi.

Well, this morning he did it again, retweeting a Twitter user with the name @WhiteGenocideTM — an utterly blatant neo-Nazi, as if you couldn’t tell just from the name of the account.

This is the profile for @WhiteGenocideTM; he lists his location as “Jewmerica,” and the background graphic says, “Get the fck out of my country.”

His avatar image is a picture of George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party.

Here’s a screenshot of the website in his profile:

The Twitter timeline of this user is a disgusting torrent of antisemitism and racism, including images like this one showing Bernie Sanders in a gas chamber and Donald Trump in a Nazi uniform, getting ready to push a button labeled “GAS.”

At this point it can’t possibly be a coincidence. Trump knows people are watching what he tweets; maybe he’s doing this deliberately to see how far he can go with trolling the media. All I know for certain is that it’s unconscionable for a person running for president of the United States to be associating his name with this kind of outright hatred.

At his Facebook page, Chuck C. “Rage Furby” Johnson makes it clear this is just fine with him, and his followers make lame jokes about it.

Candidate Obama got ran through the wringer for months just because of an association with a former member of the Weather Underground. Trump is snuggling up to neo-Nazis and the media can’t be bothered to give it much notice.

Trump does as his followers do, as we see every minute in the NRO comments:

Kebab Removal Services • 7 minutes ago
Cuckservatism is suicidal ideology. They really think all people are just blank slates. The only thing that matters is environment. They truly believe that non-Whites are going to carry the torch of Western civilization despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary. It is fantasy thinking. It is lunacy. Their economic beliefs are also suicidal. As if gutting a nation’s industry is a good idea. Forcing Americans to compete with third world labor is a terrible idea. I would even call it treasonous. The US effectively had autarky until the 1970s. And then some Chicago School, rootless cosmopolitans convinced American elites to throw it all away. The middle class had been slowly eroding away ever since.

Trump’s tweets are symptomatic of his racism and intolerance and willingness to tout anti-Semites, bigots, and racists and xenophobes, but he’s hardly alone.

Everywhere you turn with the GOP and their candidates, you scratch the surface and you find racists, xenophobes, and bigots.

Oh, and as no one here needs reminding, the NRO used to have a bunch of racists on staff before they were fired. They kept hiring racists, until they were fired. The NRO’s big problem with Trump is that he’s too overt in his racism and dog whistles. He’s overshadowed the crypto Nazis with actual neo Nazism (as though Trump taints conservatism when conservatism has been rotten to the core for years as they courted the most vile and extreme sorts to maintain political power).

That’s really the rub here, law. Like their ideological forebearers, who got to the point that they openly supported the Nazis in America right up until Pearl Harbor (and some even after), the “serious” conservatives of today had no problem with the racism, sexism, bigotry, or xenophobia of the GOP. Their only real problem with Trump is he’s not only dragging all that shit into the spotlight, he’s then rolling around in it and daring his critics to say he’s wrong for doing so.

During an evening showing of 13 hours yesterday, a theater full of Benghazi enthusiasts in Renton, Washington bore witness to a different sort of disaster when an allegedly drunk 29-year-old dropped his gun, accidentally shooting one of his fellow theater-goers in the chest. As of this morning, the 40-year-old woman was listed as being in “serious condition.”

I’m beginning to honestly wonder if Trump is actually trying to blow up his campaign.

I was listening to the POTUS channel on SiriusXM last night and they were discussing Trump’s lack of ground game. Basically, Trump has very few or no field offices in most states and as such has very few to no personnel trying to GOTV. Trump’s entire campaign is based on celebrity status and media coverage/obsession. Without field offices and ground game personnel, one could surmise that he has no real intention to win this and that he can say and do anything he wants…..as he has.

I’m beginning to honestly wonder if Trump is actually trying to blow up his campaign.

He’s learned during his career that, even if he gambles big, he can’t really lose, when he sets up the game properly.

He skates away from bad business deals and bankruptcies without losing much at all, all the while setting up his stoogespartners to take the brunt of the fallout.

He talks a lot about self-funding his campaign, despite begging for donations (and getting them!) and getting free campaign ads on all the major networks basically 24/7. If this whole running-for-president deal doesn’t work out, well, he’s back on the national stage in a YUUUUUGE way, grifting with the best of them, hardly the worse for wear.

One of the shop owners I work for is hard right, the other mid-far right. We have all agreed that politics is probably one of the things that we are better off not discussing at the shop.

One thing (only thing?) we do agree on is Trump. None of us can understand how people can buy into his spiel. They are seriously concerned that he gets the nomination and it will sink the GOP down ticket as well. As for me, I’m concerned that he DOESN’T get the nomination and the GOP manages to somehow nominate somebody that people will view as ‘reasonable’ after his antics.

He has moved the ‘Overton Window’ so far over that it’s not even in their ‘Big Tent’ any more, they had to build a whole new structure (on wheels) to accommodate it.

As for me today, I swung by the shop for a couple of hours, mainly to just get out (conditions here aren’t great, but it’s not really that bad by my standards). Picked up my laptop and cameras, stopped to pick up chips, dip, pita, hummus, cheese and a frozen pizza. I am now settled in and thinking about what to binge-watch. A friend thinks I might enjoy “Trailer Park Boys”, and Netflix keep suggesting it, so I may give it a try.

To my friends who are actually suffering and impacted by the storm, love out to you.

The attack apparently lasted for a couple of hours, but when the server was accessible again there was a lot of file system cleanup to do, because it had been in the middle of nightly backups and updates when the traffic spike happened. So it took another couple of hours to make sure everything was back to normal.

“…It’s far from the first time Mayer has been attacked for reporting on the Kochs, and Mayer has been described as the brothers’ “public enemy no. 1,” discouraging organizations from giving her reporting awards. Allegations that Mayer plagiarized were shopped to some media outlets in 2010 but they were never published because they could not be proven. Though the Kochs’ spokespeople said in the past they had no knowledge of the allegations, Mayer has said she connected the dots to the Kochs, and has alleged they hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on her.
Asked why they were taking up the cause of defending the Kochs, [America Rising PAC spokesperson Amelia Chassé said] they were defending their allies.”

This morning, the computer forecasters were coming into agreement that the storm would dump around 6-10 inches for most of the NYC metro area, with more to the South and into Central NJ.

The latest runs? The computers have turned into Oprah. You get a foot+ of snow!

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said during a radio appearance on Thursday that it wasn’t “appropriate” for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) to blame President Barack Obama for her son’s domestic violence arrest.

Bush said on Fox News Radio’s “Kilmeade and Friends” that post-traumatic stress disorder—which Palin had suggested her son suffered from—as well as homelessness and suicide are serious problems among the nation’s veterans. The audio was flagged by BuzzFeed News.

“It’s a national tragedy, all of us I think have a responsibility to roll up our sleeves,” Bush said. “I don’t think blaming the President is appropriate.”

Not really. Didn’t McCain/Palin get around 48% of the vote in 2008? I’m sure Palin will always have her die-hard fans, even though she speaks as if English is her third language. Among normal people, Palin is a huge embarrassment and I’m sure McCain has his regrets.

If so, he’s saying the opposite (COUNTRY FIRST!)

“I respect her view,” McCain told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked about the endorsement, according to The Hill.

“I have great affection and appreciation for her,” he added. “I respect what she does.”

This is not the first time that Trump has tried to pass off foreigners or foreign places as American. Weird that he thinks everyone is so ditzy that he can get away with it.

Trump is both lazy and sloppy, kind of like Palin. They’re going to make one hell of a team.

re: #246 WhatEVs

It was an interesting premise. I think we’re supposed to hate Bobby (Lewis) but so far…not so much. Giamatti, on the other hand, kinda icky. I think the juxtaposition of righteous but weird good guy vs. (not yet shown) criminal rich dude who gives a lot to the community is going to be an interesting.

Is that how you guys read it?

Well Bobby is a crook. I think we’re supposed to see that Bobby is a two faced character. He’s charismatic, has that fund that sends the children of his partners who died on 9/11 to college tuition paid. Chuck (Giamatti) OTOH is hot tempered, eccentric, but also believes the law should be enforced no matter how rich the perp is. I think it’s very interesting that they did that. Bobby kind of reminds me of Leo’s Jordan Belfort in the Wold of Wall Street in that he’s someone who came from fairly humble beginnings. What’s also interesting is that Chuck’s character comes from the very monied class. Liked seeing Jeffrey Dumunn who’s done a lot of work with Frank Darabont as his father.

When the 68-story Trump Tower opened at 5th Avenue and 56th Street in 1983, the structure was already tainted by scandal. It replaced the Bonwit Teller department store, a limestone Beaux Arts structure distinguished by two semi-nude figures in bas relief dancing with scarves at the top of the façade. Trump had promised the pair to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but they were jackhammered as soon as demolition began, causing the Times to gripe, “Evidently, New York needs to make salvation of this kind of landmark mandatory and stop expecting that its developers will be good citizens and good sports.”

OT, but excuse me while I gloat:

A former Catholic church & school in Milwaukee sat empty for five years. It cost the Church $50K per year to keep it there empty. It would’ve cost them $650K to have it torn down so they could try to sell it as a vacant lot.

A developer who previously offered to buy it wanted to turn it into low-income housing, but the community didn’t want that and rejected it (I’m guessing it would have required rezoning). So now it’s been bought by… wait for it… Muslims (oh, the horror!), who intend to turn it into a mosque. Naturally, the heads of the bigots in the area are exploding and they’re doing their damnedest to incite hatred:

SOUTH MILWAUKEE — There is controversy in South Milwaukee after the sale of a former Catholic church and school.

The new owner wants to set up a mosque, but he is being met with some opposition.

A council meeting was expected to start at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Letters meant to incite anger were dropped off at neighbors’ homes in the last week, claiming the Qur’an invokes hatred against other faiths.

Stephen Sarasin has a tough time getting around some days, but said he’s already had a positive experience with the new owners of the former St. Adalbert’s.

“A lady came up, asked me if I needed or cared for any help,” Sarasin said. […]

More: tmj4.com

Also see: jsonline.com

Clearly Mr. Sarasin has never heard of Taqiyyah and is being hoodwinked by the fake concern & kindness shown by the Muslim woman. //

Despite mention of a city council meeting, I’m pretty sure they can’t stop it from being used as a mosque as the sale has already been made and the locations it was previously used for religious services.

So, given the insanity that is the NRO comment section, and given that Salem Communications are basically the same people, I decided to try and find other self declared “conservative” outlets that, presumably are considered serious as far as not being hacks and nutjobs, for what is the low-down on this anti-Trump movement spearheaded by NRO.

First to NationalJournal, which likes to portray itself as the thinking man’s kind of conservatism… and nothing. They seem to be ignoring NRO. They do have an article GOP Lawmakers Worry That Their Nominee Could Drag Them Down which shows their concern over Trump and Cruz.

So I head on over to the more ideological The American Conservative, home of the super-intellect Rod Dreher, and find a bit more hand wringing over this whole Trump thing. Movement Conservatism vs. Trump which tackles this NRO brouhaha, where the best they can do is this conclusion:

The most notable thing about the editorial and the attached symposium is that it is another piece of evidence that Trump will end up as the nominee. Movement conservatives often reject the presidential candidates that most Republican voters prefer in the primaries, and those candidates frequently tend to do well because they ignore movement orthodoxy and aren’t limited by it. That seems to be happening again this year.

It seems to me that both Trump and the anti-Trump backlash are bit too hot to handle for many “conservatives”.

This jibes well with the Facebook feed, where my many “conservative” relatives and friends have gone quiet, except for one Trump diehard. The rest - I think they are confused.

Basically at this point the NBRA is just one old crazy Florida lady.

The article notes that Palm Beach County Republican Party donated $20,000 to start the NBRA back in 2005 and, since then, “nearly everyone else originally part of the NBRA … has since dropped out. The original board included eight members from around the country, and Rice’s husband. In a matter of months, all the board members except Rice, her husband and Cadogan resigned.” Apparently the final straw came after Rice insisted on sending out a press release praising President Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina.

Rice appears to run the organization with an iron fist, accusing those who disagree with her or not a being “a real Republican” and seemingly having a complete disregard for tax laws governing non-profit organizations, with the Tribune reporting that Rice has shuttered NRBA’s 527 and is relying on donations that have come through the NBRA’s non-profit 501c4 arm to engage in what appears to be partisan electoral work despite the fact that “under the IRS code, [501 c4s] are not allowed to help elect candidates or push partisan politics as their primary purpose.”

When Kim Davis came into the news, I, among others, declared that she was not a Democrat, even though she was registered that way. D_F pointed out we were doing the no-true-Scotsman thing, which he was sort of right, until she switched parties. But you could tell she really wasn’t a liberal in part by those who supported her, who were all conservative.

And that’s the difference with this group. A group of conservatives support Trump, another group supports Cruz, and smaller conservative groups support the other candidates. There are no liberal supporters. This is a pretty good indication of where the candidates are.

re: #326 Belafon

When Kim Davis came into the news, I, among others, declared that she was not a Democrat, even though she was registered that way. D_F pointed out we were doing the no-true-Scotsman thing, which he was sort of right, until she switched parties. But you could tell she really wasn’t a liberal in part by those who supported her, who were all conservative.

And that’s the difference with this group. A group of conservatives support Trump, another group supports Cruz, and smaller conservative groups support the other candidates. There are no liberal supporters. This is a pretty good indication of where the candidates are.

Right. Honestly, this is NRO’s MO. You saw it when Jonah the Pantload tried to make fascism into a left wing concept ignoring that fascists had many bloody street battles with leftists during that time period or equally more important that the European right saw fascism as an alternative to Socialism.

“…The hang-up appears to be Bundy’s belief that FBI agents have no standing to deal with the refuge takeover unless they’re deputized by Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward.

Militiamen and self-styled patriots contend that under the U.S. Constitution, the sheriff is the highest law enforcement power in the county. The word “sheriff,” however, doesn’t appear in the Constitution.
…………………

Bundy, speaking with an intensity unusual given his typical mild demeanor, insisted on knowing if the FBI had gotten permission to operate in the county. He kept pressing when the sheriff’s lieutenant said local and federal authorities were working together.

When Needham said the FBI did have the sheriff’s authority, Bundy demanded to see it in writing. He was told no.”

Taco tip…when you add the spices to the meat and cook it down…about half way through…toss in a hand full of raisins.

I know this freaks some people out, it did me at first, but they taste too good in all that spicy meat. You get this little sweet taste within the spices.

If you don’t want to try it in all the meat, pull out a little bit for two tacos and put a few raisins in it and try just a couple. Just make sure they are with the meat long enough to pull in some of the juices and plump up a bit.

Right. Like the turkeys they show in all the ads at Thanksgiving, which haven’t been cooked anywhere near long enough. Or the burgers that have just barely been cooked on each side because the cooked ones don’t look as good.

Plus lighting. Lighting can do a lot. There’s an ad for some makeup with the now-46 year-old Jennifer Aniston, and she looks GREAT, but the lighting is rosy-hued, shadow-free, all-angles radiant. Even I would look good, lit like that!

Right. Like the turkeys they show in all the ads at Thanksgiving, which haven’t been cooked anywhere near long enough. Or the burgers that have just barely been cooked on each side because the cooked ones don’t look as good.

Plus lighting. Lighting can do a lot. There’s an ad for some makeup with the now-46 year-old Jennifer Aniston, and she looks GREAT, but the lighting is rosy-hued, shadow-free, all-angles radiant. Even I would look good, lit like that!

Food Stylist. Many cooking shows have them.

I remember doing a commercial shoot for a grocery store’s meat department. Shooting raw meat is about a zillion times more tricky than shooting cooked food. The red turns brown really quickly. To get one 3-4 second pan shot of roasts, steaks, etc. we probably went through about $1,000 worth of meat.

The meat was fine—just didn’t photograph well. We had one hell of a cookout that night!

What. An. Asshole.

A bill to send $10 million to New Jersey’s historically underfunded lead control and abatement program was “pocket-vetoed” by Governor Chris Christie, even after it passed both houses of the State Legislature.

The Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund was formed in 2004 under Governor James McGreevey, with the intent of providing a loan and grant program to remove lead paint from homes and apartments.

The program was also supposed to provide relocation of children from dwellings with high levels of lead, as well as educaton and community outreach on lead poisoning.

It mandated that the fund receive between $7 million and $14 million annually through taxes on the sale of paint and surface coatings…

Public records show that Christie’s 2016 spending plan did not include any tax revenues allocated to the lead control fund, as was the case for the past five years.

Even while Trump gets headlines for consorting with Nazis, and Cruz skates on being a Dominionist theocrat, it has to be noted that other GOP leaders etc. are only ‘sane’ or ‘adult’ in a relative sense.

They just aren’t as openly batshit insane and evil as the GOP base, which is presently performing a months-long ritual to get the Great Old Ones to materialize as their political standard bearer. Being better than this isn’t anything to brag about.

re: #53 Charles Johnson

I’m on Charter Business and our service was acting strange last night. I could ping our external IP and resolve DNS (Charter’s servers) but couldn’t get a return ping from anything outside. Traceroute died off two hops into Medford (Brookings>Yakima>Yakima>Medford>Medford> … ). Talked to the tech at Charter and he ran into the same problem from his end except that the traceroute to our IP died in San Jose. After a couple of minutes it came back up. Routing was through San Jose to Medford but on a different route than normal (the tech noted this). I got off the phone but within minutes it was dead again so I called back. The tech got the same results as the last time in his testing. Once again the connection popped back up and everything was working again, so the tech noted the problems to turn it over to the morning crew to solve it.

Since the connection died out for a third time a few minutes after I got off of the phone I waited to see if it would resolve itself. A half hour later I called back and got the morning shift! They were running into the same issues that the night shift was but while diagnosing it they were informed that there was an unspecified problem on the network and that it would be down for an undetermined time. The time this all started was about 2 AM PST, with it going down for the count at about 2:45 AM and lasting until 6 AM.
