Yes, another deranged speech from the talking fascist yam, ranting with the “shackles off” to an audience of old, white screaming loons.
I wouldn’t do this twice in one day, but as his campaign collapses in chaos and allegations of sexual assault, he’s getting more and more unhinged, and I feel like I have to watch in case he implodes into a tiny-fingered black hole of shrieking hatred.
Well, they’re not all old but they sure are white.

I didn’t really think it was possible, but Trump’s campaign has managed to significantly lower my opinion of Republicans (defined here as anyone who consistently votes R over D in general elections, I don’t care about peoples’ registrations).
Before all this started, I pretty much viewed Republicans as a mixture of bigots and sociopaths led by rich sociopaths, so you’d be forgiven for wondering what could be worse than that.
What’s worse than that is the substantial support given by the Republican party to a dangerous, willfully stupid and proudly bigoted maniac that should not be within the same galaxy as the White House.
The Republican party as a whole, following their Gropenfuhrer and abetted by their Spiritual Leader Rush Limbaugh, is right on the edge of approving of rape because it pisses off liberals. That’s how bad this shit show has gotten.

If the Clinton campaign masterminded the news releases this week, more power to them. That’s definitely a sign of competence. Plus the idea that Clinton knew during the second debate that this would happen is exceedingly entertaining.
Alas, it isn’t terribly realistic. Republicans have so much experience with setting media narratives that they forget that absolute partisan control of the media (as they often enjoy) is not actually a thing for non-Republicans.

Press keeps making the same mistake: when Trump (and others) talk to “blacks” while addressing a supportive white audience, the message isn’t a sincere dialogue with the distant and abstract group, it’s about playing to the immediate crowd and their expectations.
Hence the total pessimism of the scene laid…and the “solutions” that ignore the actual concerns of the black community. Universal stop and frisk, for example—that’s not a pitch to African Americans, it’s candy for the audience members who think that “law and order” is synonymous with faster, more arbitrary use of police powers against deserving groups.

re: #153 Decatur Deb
Think of the virtue in making the religious right and the Republican Party an ashen plain.
My fear is that’s not at all what’s going to happen.
The GOP might be weakened, but that will be temporary. It will reconfigure to accommodate Trumpian rhetoric while advancing more orthodox GOP positions. And if you don’t think that’s possible, just look at how often Trump fans have accommodated his flips (immigration), or failed to recognize the incoherence of Trump policy and GOP policy (protectionism versus free trade). That’s the beauty of this conspiracy spinning lunacy: it’s anti-skepticism, anti-rigor, anti-analysis, all aestheticism and sentiment. As long as you can hit the tone right—which is about mastering the medium, not about content—you can pull people in.
The Religious Right is basically *ahead* of Trump in gaming the episteme of its followers. Scripture is close to meaningless already, having been run through Burroughs’s cut-up procedure to generate any convenient meaning. Morality is similarly cut-up, though the fattest shares of forgiveness seem to always fall to the people at the top (and their appetites for borrowed funds and vulnerable young people). Donald Trump hasn’t yet figured out how to co-opt sanctity to cover his groping: his god-pimp game is weak.

Civility of that kind is pretty meaningless. If someone is going to consistently vote to make me a second class citizen, I don’t care whether they are polite about it or not.
I was civil here mainly out of respect for the host and the commenters as a group, not out of any respect for such ‘politeness’.
I got to hear Obama’s speech in Ohio on my way home. He gave Republicans - not just Trump but all those who helped make him who he is - the biggest smack-down I’ve heard from him as President. It was beautiful, angry, and humorous all at the same time. “You don’t get points for that!” (bailing on Trump at the eleventh hour)

What rape culture
There’s so much awful these days that Rush Limbaugh’s endorsement of rape may not get the attention it deserves. And this isn’t the first time Rush has whined about consent in a creepy and rape supportive manner.
Donald Trump is not right, as he has suggested on the campaign trail and repeated in Sunday’s debate, that the chief culprits are Muslim terrorists, inner-city gangs and Latino “criminal illegal aliens” who comprise the “murderers” causing “drug problems” and “crime like you’ve never seen.” If he needs someone to blame, he should look instead to the demographic group most likely to support him: older whites.
….Violent crime, which includes murder, rape, robbery and assault, rose 4% among older whites but decreased by 2% among those under age 30….Over the last 25 years — even with falling crime and recent reforms that reduced California’s prison population — older whites are the only group that has shown increased levels of imprisonment, while rates for young people of color have plummeted.

I think Trump was suggesting that, if Hillary collapsed in Tian’anmen, the Chinese would just ignore her, walk around her or something. Only a delusional idiot would suggest that, because
(a) her Secret Service detail would help her
(b) the Chinese security detail would help them help her,
(c) on the off chance she were alone, she’s an older lady, and a foreigner, so Chinese people would spring to her aid, because they do that.
(d) besides all that, Tian’anmen Square and the palace grounds are crawling with police, army and other security people, who would help her
(e) an older foreign lady collapsing on the Square and ignored by everyone is really bad for the tourism business, so someone would take care of it.
(f) Hillary is not a frail elderly lady, so she probably wouldn’t collapse in the first place. Trump on the other hand would probably melt in the Beijing summer sun within 30 minutes.

No, they were mostly old folks (and this was close to 25 years ago) who looked on him as George Washington. The youth certainly didn’t care.
The cult of Mao was virtually extinguished 20-25 years ago. Students in China learn about the Great Leader in school, including all the tall tales about him (equivalents to Washington and the cherry tree, and the coin across the Potomac), and as they get older are required to learn about Maoism. But the veneration is gone. My students find Maoism classes achingly boring. While they admire Mao for creating the PRC, they also recognize he was far from perfect (though the details of those imperfections are studiously avoided in classroom discussions).
Even so, there are still long lines at the mausoleum in Tian’anmen Square, with Chinese of all ages waiting patiently to see the waxy corpse (or a simulation) of Mao under glass. I’ve never had the slightest urge to join them.

“Jesus. ‘Conservatives’ simply will not engage in anything resembling self-examination.”
There’s a reason they will never do this, and as a Christian of over 50 years, I think it’s because Christianity isn’t their top priority. Their top priority is using Christianity to push their authoritarian agenda. I see this is their worship of the very rich and their uncaring attitude toward the poor and the less fortunate, including kids, and their championing of violence, hate, bigotry, Islamophobia, homophobia, etc.. It sickens me when they use religion to excuse the bad behavior of GOPers. This, more than anything, informs me that Christianity is a tool for them and is not something that influences the way they live and treat others.
