I just remembered a point I was going to make about Trump cancelling the rally in Chicago last night.
Remember when he complained about Bernie being weak and not a leader when he allowed the Black Lives Matter people to take over the microphone and podium at a rally late summer of ‘15 or so and Bernie got frustrated and walked away?
The Great Leader of Strength Trump outdid him. He gave up on his entire rally and not only didn’t have to walk out, he never showed up and apparently lied about the police and him agreeing it was best.

Cool. Hillary is on MSNBC from Cleveland talking about Ohio’s voting malarkey and started to get into the Supreme Courts ruling on the voting rights act. Then she paused and stated to make a big point about how she hoped the folks listening to her get out to vote Tuesday and more importantly vote all the time so that we get Democratic state legislators, judges, country reps, more congress seats and Governors.

I can’t imagine Rage Furby making it through basic without getting the boot on a “Failure to Adapt” General Discharge. Imagine him taking orders from a black DI for example. If he did make it somehow he’d be one of those guy’s you just don’t trust so you always make him walk point when on patrol. Let him trip the mine or the ambush.

“A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic.

The Toronto Star quotes the President about the current state of GOP politics:
“How can you be shocked?” he asked to laughter from the crowd, according to a transcript. “This is the guy, remember, who was sure that I was born in Kenya — who just wouldn’t let it go. And all this same Republican establishment, they weren’t saying nothing. As long as it was directed at me, they were fine with it. They thought it was a hoot, wanted to get his endorsement. And then now, suddenly, we’re shocked that there’s gambling going on in this establishment.”
This is why I keep pointing out that nothing will change so long as individual Republicans and the the GOP strategists keep trying to shed Trump, but retain the pattern of fanning rumors, perpetuating falsehoods, and running on fear.

Compatriots:
I am certain I do not need to tell you that we are facing a crisis. In fact, we are facing the greatest threat to our heritage in modern times. The forces arrayed against us are formidable. Their first declared goal is to remove the Confederate Battle flag which flies beside the Confederate Soldier’s monument in Columbia, South Carolina. It was put there in 2000 as part of a political compromise. But do not be fooled into thinking they will stop there. The radical leftists who are driving this crisis are committed to the complete eradication of all things Confederate.

Trump now calling for people who get arrested (for not committing a crime) to have to wear a big “arrest mark”. Not a new idea #NeverTrump
— Laura Walker (@LauraWalkerKC) March 13, 2016
I’ve not really watched a Trump rally. Seeing a debate is bad enough. But I’m working on some video stuff and have Trump on in the background for noise. It’s noise all right.
What the hell is this? He’s went on about talking about his Great Harrowing Escape from the White ISIS Not From ISIS Bad Dude From Dayton Ohio™ for 20 minutes.
The rest is all the crap he always says. I guess you really have to want to wallow in this to even begin to get anything out of it. And that is easy to do, because he repeats the same story over and over at the rally. Like waterboarding. How many times will he say “they chop off heads?”
It would take one hell of a team of creative writers to write this Trump character into an election. You could make a movie of it and people wouldn’t believe it.
It’s autobiographical.
These people are idiots.

Mandatory epistemological whinge of the day:
Your sentence is how this group ascertain veracity.
A guy they like—and assign cultural power to—is repeating lines over and over. Everybody in the crowd agrees loudly. Therefore, the story must be have some element of truth. That the people that object are protesters…and evil media!…is further proof of its truth, because It Is Known that everybody outside of the group are liars and conspirators. After the narrative re-circulates through acceptable media—Twitter, websites, et cetera—it will be viewed as confirmed, and thus True.
It’s the FOX/wingnut/Congressman cycle sped up.
Maybe by the time I come back the world will be normal again.

Or Trump Goes Insane at Rally, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich all drop out. “He’s locked up the base, there’s no point in going forward” they say.

I honestly am beginning to wonder how long it’s going to be before there is somebody killed at one of his rallies, and how he’ll respond to that. My guess? He’ll claim the killer was a “plant” and none of his supporters would ever do such a thing, because he doesn’t condone that sort of thing.

I just listened to that whole…whatever it was…He’s inciting them even more and I fully expect that there will be violence against not only protesters but given that he is blaming it on Sanders people I have a sickening feeling that trump bots will also assault people at sanders rallies.
It’s because more people are becoming aware Donald Trump is spreading hatred, and they’re using their 1st Amendment right to protest it.

Trump bots aren’t going to show up at Sander’s rallies. That would take too much effort.

Missouri, the state that gave us David Rice Atchison and Rush Limbaugh. I didn’t think it would be all roses.
Turn the protest pressure on and make him break Brownshirt early. That’s how to sink him. Very interesting.

It’s darkly amusing to me that ISIS has become the go-to for “bad” in the Drumpfenverse.
Protester? Must be ISIS.
Guy rushing the stage? ISIS.
Reporters? Probably ISIS.
Brown people? ISIS.
They’re a fill-in-the-blank villain.

Mein Herr Trump“The Snake”On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Poor thing,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snakeShe wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken to had bee revived
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snakeShe clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
“I saved you,” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake

Mr. Invincible Trump®. Why not follow?
Best hate in town. Moving hate. Feel the power of hate. Go out and multiply and WE WILL TAKE THIS ELECTION. And then take. Take. Take. Take.
He is making fiction real. I am scared of how much he may make history repeatable.
