Live Video of a Dying Party: Republican Convention, Day 3, “America First”

A slogan with an ugly antisemitic history

The theme for tonight’s Republican convention horror show is “America First” — which happens to be the name of an antisemitic organization that advocated appeasing Hitler in the years before World War II.

The Anti-Defamation League pleaded with Donald Trump to stop using this slogan because of its ugly pro-Hitler history. Trump ignored them, and tonight it’s on proud display at the official Republican Party convention.

Reposted because originally posted in a dead thread and that makes me SO ANGRY:

Let me get this straight.

Melania gave this McIver lady a bunch of quotes from Michelle Obama’s speech.

McIver took those quotes and wrote up a speech in which many of those quotes were either copied verbatim, or with minimal alteration.

Melania then got the speech back and started practicing it, but somehow didn’t notice that the quotes she hand picked were still in there.

Then Melania told Bret Baier that she mostly wrote the speech herself, but forget that part because reasons.

Then the shit hit the fan and everyone on team Trump was like “what plagiarism I don’t see any plagiarism these aren’t the droids you’re looking for holy shit balls Hillary is behind this entire thing you liberal dicksucks are inventing a controversy.”

Now they’re they’ve got this McIver lady to take the blame and we’re all supposed to act like Melania was just helpless and had no capacity to recognize that the speech she commissioned contained the very cribbed elements she selected?

I mean, mostly I’m just like Jesus who cares Melania isn’t on the ticket. On the other hand the entire mess has become a microcosm for the overall dysfunction, dishonesty and ineptitude of Trump and his campaign in general.

Schmidt also called the handling of Melania’s speech probably one of if not the worst messaging botch by a campaign ever.

Let Me Tell You About The Negro (Donald Trump version)

Several years later, after Trump had expanded his real estate empire by building casinos in Atlantic City, a former executive from his business accused him of making racist statements. John O’Donnell, who was president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino and later wrote a memoir about his experience, said Trump blamed financial difficulties partly on African American accountants.

“I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza — black guys counting my money!” O’Donnell’s book quoted Trump as saying. “I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else. . . . Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

O’Donnell said in an interview that he admonished Trump not to talk that way.

“You’re sitting there listening to him talk in stereotypes about black people being lazy and that it was a trait in his mind. And you just go, ‘Oh my God,’ ” O’Donnell said.

Trump told Playboy magazine that O’Donnell’s memoir was “probably true.”

The original America First Committee disbanded itself on December 11, 1941 (4 days after Pearl Harbor) with this statement:

Our principles were right. Had they been followed, war could have been avoided. No good purpose can now be served by considering what might have been, had our objectives been attained.
We are at war. Today, though there may be many important subsidiary considerations, the primary objective is not difficult to state. It can be completely defined in one word: Victory

Pat Buchanan (who else?) continues to praise the committee:

“The achievements of that organization are monumental,” writes Buchanan, “By keeping America out of World War II until Hitler attacked Stalin in June 1941, Soviet Russia, not America, bore the brunt of the fighting, bleeding and dying to defeat Nazi Germany.”

This is pretty much gibberish, since the conquest of Soviet territory was Hitler’s fundamental war aim. US forces could not have intervened in any strength, certainly not enough to prevent Operation Barbarossa, before they actually did, in late 1942.

It would be interesting if she picked someone who wasn’t interested in running for president in 8 years. It used to be, no nominee would even consider that (and the party would also object). Yet the last two vice presidents have declined to run when the president they served was termed out. Maybe that trend continues, but it seems foolish. It would probably also help her out to pick someone fresh/new/young(er), since she’s been in the public eye for three decades now.

Except Clinton, should she be elected, will be the oldest person to be sworn in as president (she will beat Reagan by about 4 months). She’s in good health, but a person’s health can decline rapidly in their 70s.

And yes, Trump is older still, and his VP pick is important for the same reason (and for the additional reason that it’s basically the first presidential level decision he’s ever made in his life).

The thing is there’s been precious little building up of Trump at this convention, just hatred towards Hillary interspersed with random acts of chicken-fucking. The last thing they need is Cruz getting up there and trying to make the case for why he should be next in line for 2020.

After hearing about the offer to make Kasich “the most powerful vice president in history” and being “in charge of domestic and foreign policy”, leaving Trump in charge of “Making America great again”, I thought of Zaphod Beeblebox, President of the Galaxy from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galazy, where the job description is “always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.”
When I googled “Zaphod Beeblebrox” “Donald Trump”. I came across this quiz. It’s amazingly difficult (I scored 15 out of 20).

re: #348 Scottishdragon

Gold buggery Hugh Hewitt still looking like he has botox poisoning.

Please don’t get me started about that goddamned gasbag Hewitt.

I’ve seen Hugh Hewitt in person. He’s even MORE of an asshole in person than he comes off of on TV. Back when he was co hosting a show on KCET here in Los Angeles he just happened to come into the Sizzler on 4th & Vermont when I was there. He had his toady with him. Ol’ Bullshittin’ Hugh gave his order in his booming voice. Then he sat at the table while his toady fixed his salad plate for him and got him his DYYYYYEEETTTT Pepsi.

I already had the urge to go to Rite-Aid and get a bottle of Mylanta the minute that ass entered the place. But no, I decided I would do my damnedest to try and finish eating. Well then the poor waitress brought His Ass Holey-ness his steak, placed it in front of him and then—just like every other stuffed shirt right wing Xtian—ol’ Hugh opened his mouth to pray for JC and his Sonshine Band to bless his steak and Malibu Chicken combo. And out of that mouth came EVERY right wing talking point about how JC had blessed the goofball gasbag. He wouldn’t shutup.

Then came a most treasured moment when sane rational people who were also fed up with his bullshit started to yell at him to shut up. Didn’t stop him from yelling over them about how his “free-DUMB of Religion was being suppressed”

It was glorious.

Wednesday: Make America First Again (by locking up Hillary)
Thursday: Make America One Again (by shooting Hillary)

Every single employee is Latino. Every single one, not a single white face is on staff. This town of close to 80,000 is AT LEAST 80% Republican and will vote for Trump and his stupid wall bullshit.

I used to be a member of a golf course in San Diego. Same thing, about 90% of the restaurant workers were hispanic, and it was great like you said. Service was awesome. One day I got a letter explaining that homeland security was coming into the club and look over all the employees. Within a few days most of the employees had been replaced. Needless to say when they rehired mostly caucasian people to replace the hispanics, service went totally downhill. Guest that i had at the club who had previously been there noticed the difference, which i feel reflected on me because i was a member.
I always thought there was something fishy going on and never got down to the bottom of why that happened. I left the club soon after that.

Poking around to see what I missed in tonight’s dumpster fire wars, over at 538 they pulled this quote from Cruz’s speech:

“please, don’t stay home in November … stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.”

Part of me feels like that quote/clip could be used very well in a Democratic commercial later this year.

Not sure I’d be quoting Nate Silver today. Here he is from exactly one year ago:

In the long run — as our experience with past trolls shows — Trump’s support will probably fade. Or at least, given his high unfavorable ratings, it will plateau, and other candidates will surpass him as the rest of the field consolidates.

“Donald Trump has been found in the past repeatedly to have not paid people he owed money to. It is a standard business practice of his. He has let people think that he fixed Wollman Rink in Central Park for free. He was paid $10 million, but some of his contractors were never paid, because he told them this was a public service project. And he’s been sued innumerable times for racial discrimination of his businesses. He’s been found to have engaged in racial discrimination. He’s not at all who he appears to be.”
