My basic take on it is if you said nothing about the Bush White House using a private server owned and run by the RNC for official business, and Rove deleting MILLIONS of emails, you have no ground to stand on to complain.

This.
It is always tempting to put POTUS campaigns in Manichean terms…but this time it is absolutely warranted. Trump represents actual evil. He is channeling the darkest and most destructive aspects of humanity, and we do not have the luxury of sitting this out. There is no neutral ground. Trump must be repudiated, and his followers must be marginalized.
I love this man so much.

Look at the audience behind Obama and Clinton. Compare and contrast with who you see behind Trump.

I do not see him as evil, but as a failure of our political system at a high level: that of a national party. The GOP has decided, as far as we know, to grit their teeth and double down and make the best of this failure. But their success would cost the nation dearly at this point, which, I agree, we cannot allow to happen.
The President sounds like he’s going to have a lot of fun campaigning for Hillary.

RWNJ and BernieBros are hitting all the stages here
Stages of Grief
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
During the fourth stage, the individual despairs at the recognition of their mortality. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen.
And eventually they will move on to stage 5
5. Acceptance
Obama apparently not using a teleprompter. Just ripping it.

I’m a curmudgeonly old fart. I’ve regarded the USA as a failed state since a major party nominated Ronald fucking Reagan for President. I can’t really see how tRump is any more unqualified. My only hope is that we can keep fighting off the absolute worst for a few more election cycles—then I’ll be dead and it’ll be somebody else’s problem.

Yes, the Founders would have had something to say:

The Founders really didn’t give a shit about sexual impropriety (see Alexander Hamilton and his affair)
They cared a lot about financial corruption and using your office to enrich yourself.
Trump and his business practice is anathema to what our Founders thought proper. In fact, the attitude at the time was that successful businessmen had a duty to serve in office but should turn over their business interests to a blind trust or sell their interests so that no hint of untoward profit would remain.

Yeah, being Governor of California is the next thing to being POTUS responsibility-wise. He had no business being within a million miles of that position, either. He was absolutely unqualified to hold any governmental job whatsoever.

Every RWNJ online today is having some form of “TREASON! ELEVENTY!” meltdown, so of course the GOP obsession going forward will be trying to find a reason to impeach Hillary over the same emails that the FBI just cleared her over.
We’re going to hear about these emails for the entirety of Hillary’s presidency. The GOP have found their new Benghazi/Whitewater crusade.

Ya know, no matter what the reason was for Obama’s FIRST victory, he was President for 4 years before being RE-elected.
By contrast, Walsh narrowly won election during a wave year, and after two years on the job, the voters ditched him.

re: #49 Sir John Barron

I actually do study colonial history, and I have been reading quite a bit on social history at the time.
Sexual prudishness was not particularly in fashion outside of sternly Anglican New England. Men of substance had their affairs, and working men (cooperers, stevedores, apprentices etc) all visited the local whorehouses.
Financial impropriety was something else altogether. It was considered an attack on the underpinnings of government (and rightly so) whereas sexual matters were between you and your wife to argue over.
Now, when you move into the early Federalist period you saw attitudes change as one of the Great Religious Awakenings took hold, which is how Andrew Jackson was hit with charges of bigamy when he married Rachel Donelson supposedly before her earlier divorce proceedings from Lewis Robards were complete.
I strongly doubt this would have received as much attention in 1775.

Reagan was decent at times. The original Log Cabin Republicans were formed partly out of gratitude to then-Governor Reagan for his help in defeating some fundy-sponsored homophobe legislation. Reagan only went completely off the rails when he ran for President and decided to double down on the Southern Strategy and add evangelicals to give it a figleaf of moral standing.

I have a buddy like that…we used to hang out a lot in college, he came out some years later…I remember him phoning in November of 2012 to gloat over Obama’s imminent defeat. I guess he did a full Karl Rove when the Ohio results came in. But he is now insisting that Trump has coherent policies.

I’ve seen the word ‘evil’ used so much - generally by the Right to describe practically anything they hate - that I avoid it, mostly. I reserve it for the intentional infliction of unnecessary suffering, solely for one’s own pleasure or benefit.
Viewed this way, Trump is more dangerous than evil, because he doesn’t really care about the effects of the demons he’s raising, beyond their ability to get him votes. He’s happy to appeal to the worst in white Americans and to inflame their bigotry if it gets him votes. If innocent people suffer, he doesn’t care.
I don’t even think he believes a lot of what he says. He apparently, in his unscripted speeches, basically goes where the audience leads. That is, he starts talking and listens to what gets applause, then he goes there. It’s no wonder his supporters say he says what they’ve been thinking. They’re absolutely right.

They tend to earn better (not having education and careers sidelined by raising a family), have fewer dependent and mortgage deductions as they do not buy big homes (for raising kids) in expensive neighborhoods (with good schools to send kids to), so they are interested in lower overall tax rates.

Many of them do. They will tell themselves things I’ve read online already, like “laws are for little people” or “both parties are equally bad” and then move on to something else. They will have to be told what to be outraged about by the end of the week though, this grief over emails cannot last longer than a few days. I am sure someone will start in with what the new scandal should be, probably something about the Clinton Foundation and back to the money she received from speeches.

This may be true… But unfortunately the reason many gay couples do not have children is because Republicans and the Christian Right have fought cruelly against their right to adopt or gain custody rights, and the law has not protected their rights as parents.

The thing that always gets me, and I suppose this is true of Nazi Germany as well, is that evil is often done, or at least supported, by people who see themselves not as bad people, but rather as good. It’s the sweet grandmother who holds the most vile racist beliefs, or the friend who’ll give you the shirt off his back but thinks all Muslims are terrorists and should be deported.
re: #126 InfidelOfFreedom
This may be true… But unfortunately the reason many gay couples do not have children is because Republicans and the Christian Right have fought cruelly against their right to adopt or gain custody rights, and the law has not protected their rights as parents.
Because that is the Word of the Lord.

re: #112 Blind Frog Belly White
I’ve seen the word ‘evil’ used so much - generally by the Right to describe practically anything they hate - that I avoid it, mostly. I reserve it for the intentional infliction of unnecessary suffering, solely for one’s own pleasure or benefit.

Hillary Clinton is campaigning with a sitting President…
Donald Trump is campaigning with Newt Gingrich…
Newt—who won TWO whole states in the 2012 primary—South Carolina and Georgia. Yeah—what an inspiring addition to the GOOPer ticket—go for it, Donald!!
I particularly love this little note.
On April 10, Santorum suspended his campaign, and Gingrich, claiming that he was the “last true conservative” still in the race, announced that he was relocating all his resources and time to Delaware, believing that a win there on April 24 would be a game-changer and would lead him on a path to prevent Romney from clinching the nomination during the primary season…
On April 24, Gingrich placed third in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York, Fourth in Pennsylvania, and a distant second in Delaware.
That Trump’s efforts to mobilize white nationalism as a force in American politics has inadvertently also mobilized anti-Semitism does not come as a surprise to either white nationalists or Jews.

Except Trump isn’t popular in California. That Field Poll I linked to? He had a 60% favorable rating AMONG CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS. The statewide registration is 45/27/23 D/R/I. You can pretty much guarantee that his favorable ratings for Democrats and Independents is in the toilet if he can only get 3 of 5 Republicans to like him.

America’s deadliest prosecutors: five lawyers, 440 death sentences
As the Harvard team points out, as soon as Holmes retired, the number of death sentences secured in Harris County plummeted from an average of 12 a year during his heyday to just one a year now. That suggests that capital punishment in America is what the authors call a “personality-driven system”.

The GOP convention is going to be a real circus, Roman style, complete with a pseudo-god emperor, bloodthirsty peasants, and gladiatorial combats (though probably not in the arena). The only thing missing will be wild animals, and I would not be too surprised if some tone deaf type brings a captive elephant. I vaguely remember that it has been done before, though not in a good long time.
I actually have a couple of donkeys (well, BLM adoption burros) here at the Conspiracy Compound, but I would never expose these gentle creatures to something as barbarous as a political convention.
So I see this on Politifact:
Based on the evidence available, it seems unlikely that the Trump campaign intended to put out a Star of David image. In fact, the campaign moved to replace the star with a circle when the image gained attention.
Having said that, this seems to be yet another a case of Trump using social media to broadcast material that comes from sources with a history of spreading racism, anti-Semitism or white supremacy. It is unusual to see a presidential campaign operate with such a lack of message discipline.
I bolded what I think is a false assertion.
There is no evidence that these occurrences can be simply chalked up to “lack of … discipline”.
This is especially the case here with Drumpfskind, who has made central to his campaign the villification of the other.
Are we to believe that Drumpfskinds villification of Muslims and Mexicans is just “lack of message discipline” too??

Viewed this way, Trump is more dangerous than evil, because he doesn’t really care about the effects of the demons he’s raising, beyond their ability to get him votes. He’s happy to appeal to the worst in white Americans and to inflame their bigotry if it gets him votes. If innocent people suffer, he doesn’t care.
I don’t even think he believes a lot of what he says. He apparently, in his unscripted speeches, basically goes where the audience leads. That is, he starts talking and listens to what gets applause, then he goes there. It’s no wonder his supporters say he says what they’ve been thinking. They’re absolutely right.
Then Donald Trump is evil. At his own rallies he promotes violence. He offered to pay the legal fees of anyone charged with violent acts. He inflames anti-Semitism and xenophobia knowing that will cause violence.
He believes what he says (NYT advert calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, wrongfully convicted of rape and released years later).
Evil must be called as evil, despite how conservatives demonise everything liberals do as evil. The word must be taken back from conservatives and properly defined.
And everyone in the GOP who supports evil (Donald Trump) is also evil. And everyone who chooses to stand by and do nothing (magic balance fairy I won’t vote or vote for Jill Stein the racist) turns a blind eye to evil. Every evangelical church endorsing Donald Trump or religious figures such as Kevin Swanson and Franklin Graham need to be called out as supporters of evil too.
re: #254 Shiplord Kirel
The GOP convention is going to be a real circus, Roman style, complete with a pseudo-god emperor, bloodthirsty peasants, and gladiatorial combats (though probably not in the arena). The only thing missing will be wild animals, and I would not be too surprised if some tone deaf type brings a captive elephant. I vaguely remember that it has been done before, though not in a good long time.
I actually have a couple of donkeys (well, BLM adoption burros) here at the Conspiracy Compound, but I would never expose these gentle creatures to something as barbarous as a political convention.
“Silicon Valley” already did the elephant “thang.”

So I see this on Politifact:
I bolded what I think is a false assertion.
There is no evidence that these occurrences can be simply chalked up to “lack of … discipline”.
This is especially the case here with Drumpfskind, who has made central to his campaign the villification of the other.
Are we to believe that Drumpfskinds villification of Muslims and Mexicans is just “lack of message discipline” too??
These people seem to think Trump stumbled into the GOP nomination by accident. In reality he executed a well thought out strategy to stoke white racial resentment, otherwise he wouldn’t have defeated 16 other candidates, many of them skilled, experienced politicians. As Rubio would say, and say, and say, Trump knows exactly what he is doing.

If you listen carefully to today’s rally, you can just hear the last strains of a Bernie endorsement fade into utter irrelevancy. #ImwithHer
I do not have a television; did Senator Sanders endorse Secretary Clinton? If so, I personally (your mileage may vary) would not minimise that nor demean his remaining supporters (or former supporters such as me). It does nothing to elevate discourse; whether Sanders was showing bad form in a lack of concession or support in the past, doing those things now are a good thing.

I know, Kroger presents quite a conundrum for me—supposed to boycott because gunz; supposed to support because union. I split the difference and only go occasionally (when I need a Skyline Chili fix.)
LOL, that sign still blocking Donald’s face.
The WALL!!!!!
So sad he doesn’t have anything new.
Reading notes on the podium.
Your heads will spin!!!!
Trade is so easy, we’ll knock the hell out of ISIS…
Donald really sad that Obama can multi-task.
I love Trump bragging he got more votes in the republican primary the Eisenhower did…you know…when the US population was half what it is now.

Fred Meyer used to sell guns—40 years ago when I used to inventory them for sure. Now that they’re owned by Kroger they don’t. I don’t think they were a union shop before, now under Kroger they are, but I know it’s a much less pleasant place to work.
Who the hell knows what’s going on, is my point…. /
re: #148 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸
That Trump’s efforts to mobilize white nationalism as a force in American politics has inadvertently also mobilized anti-Semitism does not come as a surprise to either white nationalists or Jews.
i wonder what ivanka and jared think of this star of david cockup
They would be protected from any of Trump’s proposals.

Is there any way to notify Politifact about the source of the meme and that campaign had to specifically blot out the watermark of the original white supremacist that created it?
re: #192 Dr. Matt
So, the RNC hatefest will be in two weeks and their website (convention.gop) looks basically like a shell. Nothing about the Speakers, the platform, or even Donald Trump. Ouch.
Ha. Not a good sign. Even better is the irony of the top graphic.
Sarah Palin:
“And now, though, to be lectured, that, well, you guys are all sounding kinda angry, is what we’re hearing from the establishment.
DOGGONE RIGHT WE’RE ANGRY! Justifiably so. You know they stomp on our neck and then they tell us just chill. OK, just, yeah, just relax. Well, look, um, we are mad and we’ve been had, and they need to get used to it.”
“You know they stomp on our neck.”. Heh.
