Part of me reacts in horror about this scenario and another part of me believes that the asskissing right wing corporate press in this country is getting the karmic retribution they deserve for their absolute failure to tell the truth to the American people.
And if a reporter gets beaten by Trumpettes, you’ll still have clueless fools like Luke Russert, Chuck Todd and Morning Joke still pushing the “Both Sides Do It” bullshit…

“He was attacking undocumented families,” Macías said. “We hear so much hate directed towards our community. My family is Mexican and I hear him saying we’re rapists and that we come here to steal and we don’t work. That’s really offensive. My family are hardworking people who want to give back to this country. I wanted to be here and speak out because a lot of people don’t have a voice, or they are scared to do it. If we don’t stand up now, he’s just going to keep attacking our families. We have to stand up and fight back.”Some of Macías’ fellow protesters were pushed to the ground by Trump supporters as they tried to leave the hall. Cries of “Kick his ass,” “Shoot him,” and “Bitch” came from the crowd, who then cheered when the activists were ejected.
“Sadly, this is what we see in nearly every Donald Trump rally,” said Macías.

Driftglass is amazing. A few highlights:
Instead our media-of-easy-virtue and the shambles of what remains of the Republican party establishment find themselves curled up in a manger, on a pile of money surrounded by the Wise Men of Washington, giving birth to something raving, world-stomping and bestial while continuing to swear that they had nothing to do with its conception and gestation even as it gnaws its way out of their rotting womb…
Honestly, if the Gasbag Cavalcade were not required to keep up the pretense that they are presenting actual human beings who allegedly know more than you and I about How The World Really Works and have wise thoughts which escape from their mouth holes in some grotesque parody of “conversation” it would be a whole lot cheaper to just sack the whole lot of them and run a tape loop repeating “Both Sides Do It” over and over again forever…
Bloody Bill Kristol, retweeting neocon smut from his own son-in-law’s wingnut grocery-store flyer of a “magazine” blaming Angela Merkel “along with her fellow feckless political elites” for the Rise of Donald Trump…
Which is why, rather than dwelling on the terrifying fact that the Republican party is now certifiably insane from the top of it bright orange nimbus of microfiber “hair” to the soles of its jackboots, the Sunday Kidz got cranked up on sugary drinks and ran around hooting excitedly about a brokered convention until they all got tired and had to take a nap…
In case you wanted to know how fascists win big victories, it starts by winning lots of little victories like this. Small battles where the bad guy with the microphone smirks and lies and is permitted to get away with it because the good guy with the microphone doesn’t have the guts to call him out.
Whole thing is brilliant.

Junkie logic.
The last lie a junkie tells himself isn’t “I’m not an addict.”
The last lie a junkie tells himself is “My being an addict doesn’t matter.”…
So what is the last lie a Conservative tells himself? The last lie that the junkies and their suppliers both fight like hell to keep alive and twitching?
That, whether or not their ideology is depraved or deluded, it doesn’t matter because:
“Both side are always equally wrong about everything all the time.”
The media are confusing objective analysis with nihilism. They apparently believe in nothing. Stand for nothing. I don’t even see how this is good for business. It does however feed right into Trump’s hands because he is the most nihilistic candidate I’ve ever seen. No discernible ideology or worldview. It seems like his “policies” are made up on the fly. It’s total chaos.
The shit that happened with Trump tonight requires no analysis or interpretation. It’s just pathetic people filled with ignorant hatred and fear feeding upon each other. What more do you need to know? It’s exhausting enough just reading the daily reports, much less trying to make sense of anything. I don’t know how we’re going to make it through the next year if things maintain course. I just hope decency prevails and this is the closest we ever get to devolving into fascism.

And, the media lending credence to raving loons like Alex Jones and the rest of the right-wing hate-mongers could well give way to vast conspiracy theories of a stolen election or worse being mainstreamed (or worse, mainlined), letting their ugliness boil over and blow the lid off decency completely.

re: #39 Kragar
Here’s a related story.
Anti-vaccine parents to stop receiving childcare benefits under Australian ‘no jab, no pay’ law
Parents who don’t immunize their kids will stop receiving childcare benefits next year in Australia. Only people with solid medical reasons will be exempt from the crackdown.
The new “no jab, no pay” rules are expected to save more than AUS$500 million (US$350 million) over four years.
The changes take effect on January 1, 2016 after legislation passed the Senate on Monday, with the backing of Labor, the Greens and crossbench senators.
According to the Department of Health, the percentage of children under seven years old with a conscientious objection recorded on the Australian Childhood Immunization Register (ACIR) rose from 0.23 per cent in December 1999 to 1.77 per cent in December 2014.
re: #41 Usually refered to as anyways
I suppose I should add, that almost all parents receive some childcare benefits.
Income cut offs for benefiets
1 Child $152,147pa
2 Children $157,654
3 or more $178,023 plus $33,671 for each child after the third
The following payment rates for 2015-16 are a guide only.
Approved care
The current approved care rate for a non-school aged child is $4.17 per hour, or $208.50 per week.
Payment rates for school aged children are 85% of the non-school aged rate.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to a different rate than stated. For example, your family’s income, the number of children attending child care, the type of child care service and the number of hours you use can all affect your payment.
You can get up to 24 hours of care per child per week without participating in any Work, Training or Study test activities. If you meet the test, or are exempt from it, you can get up to 50 hours of care per child per week.
You may be able to get a higher rate of payment if you are a grandparent or if your family has special circumstances. Grandparent Child Care Benefit and Special Child Care Benefit have additional eligibility requirements.
You can use the rate estimator to calculate how much Child Care Benefit you may be entitled to.

We’ve had 50 years of Southern Strategy which has been cultivating this racism. The failure of the GOP and media to call out the racist birtherism (Trump was leading this charge back in 2011-12) has fueled this movement. I keep hearing journalists saying that Trump revealed his bigotry six months ago with his comments about Mexican immigrants and wondering where these people were when Trump’s birther campaigning forced a sitting President to hold a press conference to prove his citizenship. It was one of the most disgraceful things I have ever seen.
Morning.
Someone slipped Joke Scarborough some extra strong coffee and maybe some truth serum in him this morning. In my viewing of his first 20 minutes this morning he actually said he thought for the last 20 to 30 years the Republican party has been a party of fear, ridiculous thinking, no vision, etc. He said with the current thinking they have no hope in a national election and the establishment better do something soon if they have an establishment any longer. I can’t remember exactly how he said it, but it was pretty thorough.
Morning Joke. Wake up.
But then they started to go down the road of blaming candidates for not being strong with a good vision like Reagan and G W Bush. Once again passing over the real problems they face…their sick and twisted party base they created and can’t control. I changed the channel to the local news about that time like I always do.
Good luck with what everyone gets to view tonight Joke. It will be a joke. There will be many of the lesser lights (no lights) trying hard to chop up Trump and they will get hammered by Trump and his supporters and the degradation will continue further.

They’ll never sue. The reporter who sues a major presidential campaign would find himself cast out of this election cycle, since no campaign wants to deal with a ‘troublemaker’. That goes for the Dems too, especially Hillary Clinton (given how strongly her campaign regulates media access, though they don’t break the law in doing so, to be clear).
Further, Trump’s campaign is the hottest ticket for reporters right now, because The Donald’s outrageous comments make for attention grabbing coverage. No reporter who is part of that press pool wants to jeopardize her or her employer’s access to lead stories.
So Trump’s campaign knows it can play this shitty little game, so long as he can command enough attention.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A state legislator is proposing that student-athletes lose their scholarships if they go on strike, in response to a threat by Missouri Tigers football players to not play because of the administration’s handling of racial discrimination complaints on campus.
The bill proposed by Republican Rep. Rick Brattin last week in the Missouri House of Representatives would strip scholarships from any athlete who “calls, incites, supports or participates in any strike.” Colleges and universities would be required to fine coaching staff members who encourage or enable such student protests.

Some Republican leaders have tried, but it doesn’t work. They extemporized and “funned the bozo” on immigration matters for too long, speaking the language of harsh crackdown but then not changing much when they got (re)elected. Now there are many on the right who will no longer listen to the party leadership, for Donald Trump offers white-hot rhetoric without being tainted by their mendacity.
There’s an ‘after-school special’-type lesson here for politicians: If you continually break your promises to people, you will eventually find that they no longer believe you and then they’ll look for someone they can believe in.

re: #90 Dark_Falcon
Some Republican leaders have tried, but it doesn’t work. They extemporized and “funned the bozo” on immigration matters for too long, speaking the language of harsh crackdown but then not changing much when they got (re)elected. Now there are many on the right who will no longer listen to the party leadership, for Donald Trump offers white-hot rhetoric without being tainted by their mendacity.
There’s an ‘after-school special’-type lesson here for politicians: If you continually break your promises to people, you will eventually find that they no longer believe you and then they’ll look for someone they can believe in.

The only reason they believe what Trump says is that what he is saying is unbelievable, threatening, completely unfeasible (or unconstitutional) horseshit.
But yes, these people are tired of government as we know it and even more tired of politicians as we have come to know them. They want to bring in a strong, glamorous, successful figure who (in their delusional fevered minds) will just kick some ass and set everything straight for them.

re: #84 The Vicious Babushka
Campaigns have a responsibility to maintain order at their rallies. This would include allowing peaceful protest and controlling disruptions without violence. I seem to recall protestors being quietly led out of Obama rallies by professional security.
Trump doesn’t care. The violence makes for a good “circus” for his followers, many of whom are seemingly Khorne cultists, for seeing that footage I half expected the next cry to be: “Blood for the Blood God, skulls for the Skull Throne!”

I’m not equivilizing the atmosphere of the two candidate’s events, nor the actions of their security people. But Mrs. Clinton’s campaign would not welcome a reporter who had sued Donald Trump’s campaign, as they would see him or her as a troublemaker and as not being controllable.

Whistling right past the problem.
Trump’s supporters engage in the very kind of fascist actions that threaten the very lives of those who question Trump. You’ve got people shouting out that the guy be shot. You’ve got others calling out Seig Heil.
The problem is that those behaviors are tolerated. They’re condoned. They’re encouraged - and Trump is doing the encouraging with his ever more boisterous and extreme rhetoric.
The rest of the GOP is incapable and unwilling to divorce itself from Trump’s campaign mostly because the GOP voters are in thrall with Trump, and he’s got commanding leads. The more extreme things he says, the higher his polling goes.
This is where the GOP is heading.
It has absolutely nothing to do with what Democrats are doing. Or whether Hillary thinks that media should be corralled into one area.

“This goes for Dems, too.” only applied to the point that a reporter considered to be a troublemaker would likely be excluded by campaigns. It was not meant to have wider applicability than that.
My observation from the Trump event I attended in NH: his supporters were not stupid, poor whites for the most part. They were and are middle and upper middle class whites (though CNN managed to find a Japanese-American and African-American who support Trump to interview this morning). Many of them live in fairly large homes and drive SUVs and probably sell real estate. But since I went to that event in August the neo-Nazis have climbed on board. Or maybe neo-Nazis live in nice homes and drive SUVs and sell real estate—it’s not out the the realm of possibility. Anyway, if not, I wonder how long the two groups can embrace each other.

re: #139 b.d.
I think I’ve seen this Keanu Reeves movie.
Speed, which has been playing recently. But the current most dangerous terror doesn’t think in terms of hostage taking, they think in terms of using buses as giant bombs, normally with which to open an attack. So the long bus filled with ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) may be followed by a short bus full of terrorists with AKs.

True, but if you had some space for wheelchairs you could place some 55-gallon drums there. Place smaller drums wedged between the seats and you you could have enough explosive power to do major damage.
You’d need a location to do that, though, couldn’t do it at a bus yard. But keeping the buses in the yard may keep the terrorists from acquiring a bus or keep a Daesh-sympathizer from stealing a bus.
Getting the normal school buses off the road also protects those buses if terrorists already have a bus and have modded it. Given the LAPD’s penchant for “shoot first and ask questions later”, any actual schools buses out when there is a threat of a counterfeit bus could be in great danger from jumpy cops with itchy trigger fingers.
So ISIS is giving away their plans with courtesy phone calls now?

Get all of the real busses off of the streets and back into the yard, then start looking for school busses.
That someone decided to shut down the LA USD and affect more than a million people (students and teachers/parents) in the process. It’s terrorism on the cheap. You don’t actually have to carry out a bombing to disrupt daily routines. Make a “credible” threat, and you too can shut down a transit system, school system, etc.
Because the consequences of doing nothing and an incident actually happens is too bad to consider.
What’s surprising is that terror groups haven’t gone this route in the West given its simplicity - taking the police/political response to terrorism and using it to sow even more fear.
Imagine doing this to the NYC metro transit systems (NJ Transit, MTA, etc.) You could shut down the city in the process.

Eventually such tactics would lose their effectiveness, as the disruptions could not be permanently sustained. Security would be massively increased and then people would just have to take their chances beyond that.
Alternately, such a campaign in 2016 might end up handing Donald Trump the presidency, which would mean that Raqqua would likely be nuked. Not something they want.

So if I were going to try to weaponize a school bus I would probably get an old used one and simply paint it to look like an existing bus. The yard probably wouldn’t have much security against that sort of thing, they’re probably more worried about theft and vandalism so if two buses show up with the same numbers they would probably think it was a clerical error from the guy at the gate checking off the returning buses. So you put your bomb on the bus and then you just wait for the time of your choosing to set it off.
