Here’s ranting crypto-fascist Donald Trump giving his usual stump speech in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; he just boasted that he gets so much free coverage from the media he doesn’t need to advertise.

And he’s apparently now crossing the line into outright incitement to violence:

And that said, if Obama, Clinton, or Sanders did this, it would be appalling as well.

The problem isn’t Democrats being called on their shit when shit happens, it’s Republicans not being called on their shit when it happens, and instead having it brushed off as a ‘boys will be boys’ headshake of mild exasperation. The GOP keeps getting a pass for being terrible human beings because it’s expected of them, and it’s simply treated as something you should expect and live with, while holding others to actual basic standards of decency.

The ones who took a risk. Worked hard so their kids could go to school and fought giving everything in wars to stop people like Trump and his narrow minded supporters.

I hope that he is stopped before he can do real damage.

The GOP race breaks down as follows:

Trump - the insane uncle whose racist schtick is winning over converts by playing up how being a billionaire is just like the blue collar rubes who think his tax policies will help them and not further redistribute the burdens from the rich on to everyone else. Xenophobe and racist. Inexperienced (back when inexperience was the keyword against Obama).
Cruz - the extremist whose own party can’t stand him - see how his colleagues in the Senate can’t stand him and no one else seems to have anything good to say about him either. Doesn’t work well with others. Pushing theocratic positions. Oh, and see Trump for tax policy and experience.
Rubio - the candidate who can’t be bothered to show up for briefings or votes. Shows complete disdain for the process of being a US Senator. Oh, and see Trump for tax policy and experience.
Jeb! - the candidate whose mom is actually the superior candidate to everyone else running in the GOP. And see Trump for tax policy.
Carson, Huckabee, Santorum, Fiorina, Kasich, and Christie - all asterisks with the same problems as the aforementioned clowns to varying degrees.

Least bad candidate?

There isn’t one.

The real point is that Democrats wouldn’t be called out for saying this because of what they are saying. Rather they would be called out for being hypocrites and criticizing Trump for saying this crap. That is the whole point of “both sides do it”.

Even if one Dem says something that 100 GOPers have said, it is just the same thing and if any Dems criticize the GOP it is a show of how hypocritical the Dems are.

There’s the narrative and then there’s the reality. And the reality is that we have always been a nation of contradictions, from the moment a man who owned over 600 slaves penned the famous words that “All men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”; through the Civil War where those who sought to abolish slavery were called tyrants; through the First and Second World Wars where we fought “to make the world safe for democracy” all the while allowing Jim Crow to rule the South; through the Civil Rights movement where elected leaders shouted “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”; to today when well… Trump.

We are, in many ways, a schizophrenic nation and always have been.

Before her first election to the Oregon House of Representatives in 2006, Representative Kotek worked as the policy director for the non-profit advocacy organization Children First for Oregon. Prior to joining Children First, she was a public policy advocate for the Oregon Food Bank.

Representative Kotek holds a B.S. in religious studies from the University of Oregon and an M.A. in international studies from the University of Washington. She lives in the Kenton neighborhood of North Portland with her partner Aimee Wilson and their dogs Wickett and Rudy.

Ivory, R-West Jordan, was a co-founder and CEO of the American Lands Council, to which 47 counties in Western states spent a combined $219,000 of taxpayer money in 2014 to be members, according to the Center for Western Priorities.

The video that erroneously blames the fires on the BLM carries a tag line urging viewers to sign up as members.

They apparently don’t notice the weird illogic that through the entire series of books, there’s the One World Government (with one language, one currency, one leader, etc) and Israel. Israel gets to still be its own country. Because Revelations. Also, Israel hates Christians. They have an entire special forces team to assassinate any Jew who converts to Christianity.

“How about Phil Robertson. What an extraordinary human being,” Cruz said. “I mean listen, God makes every one of us unique, but some are uniquer than others.”

“What a voice Phil has to speak out for the love of Jesus,” Cruz said. “What a joyful, cheerful, unapologetic voice of truth Phil Robertson is.”

I really need to do the segment south of Paso Robles.

On Friday, I took it from San Francisco to Jack London Station in Oakland. Enjoyed talking to people and the food is way better than the peanuts, pretzels and half a can of soda you get on the airlines anymore. The roomette is fine for one person and it’s comfy for 2. They are also experimenting with K-Cup coffee machines in the car I was in going up. Everyone was helping themselves to it. Also like the fresh towels in the bathrooms. One lady tried the shower and she was shocked when the water only comes out in 15 second intervals…

Yes I am, I turned 60 on Sunday. When I was in San Francisco had a nice dinner on Saturday at Alioto’s with college friends I have not seen in 40 years. Sunday, I had dinner with friends at the House of Prime Rib—San Francisco’s version of Lawry’s here in Beverly Hills. Immaculate and very good. Now I will have to do penance for a couple weeks at the YMCA to knock those pounds off!

What you’ll hear at a Ted Cruz Rally: Rid the earth of gay Americans.

This comment from the thread at your link cracked me up——-Trump trying to get some evangelical love by talking up Phil Robertson:

“Phil Robertson is a very quality guy, very classy. His beard and my hairpiece have had many good conversations about Jesus and other topics. He will be in my cabinet too…”

Glad to hear House of Prime Rib was so good. I find things labeled ‘House Of …” a bit offputting, possibly because of a store that used to be here called “House Of Stools”.

Well, it was really “House Of Stools And Dinettes”, but I tend to drop the last part…

I also had to pass on the mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding at the House of Prime Rib, But I sure compensated with the creamed Spinach.
