Slight hiccup - second in command of the military is attempting a coup.  Catahoula took my side of the bed.

You win counselor, the US Southern culture is legitimate and it should be respected!

 
Anyways I have taken all the lefties off ignore and if they have any special requests or constructive ideas for my Trump rally trip I am all ears. 

I will have my phone but I am not a big photo/video guy so I can't promise any legible or quality pics. But I will do my best. I will try to expose myself to good and back and different crowds. I will specifically try to catalog outlandish statements from crowd goers and detractors. I will keep my eyes peeled for people beating their children in public next to banana split vendors.

I request that you don a powdered wig and make a Dangerous ###### entrance to the rally. 

Either of these Milo entrances will do:

UC Santa Barbara entrance 

UC San Diego entrance

Regarding the censored word above, is ###### really offensive when an actual ###### is calling himself a ###### in a joking manner?

Don't go. Take the money you would've spent on gas and donate it to the families of the victims of the Orlando shooting. Take whatever time you would've spent waiting in line at the venue to watch a documentary about Hitler's rise to power.

Trump's unfavorable ratings now at 70%- he's lost 15 points in the last 10 days alone!!

It's amazing to read those unfavorable numbers among all the different groups...yet Hillary barely cracks a double-digit lead in most polls. Your average non-punchable democrat nominee would be destroying him. Replace Hillary with Biden and the GOP would've already informed Trump that he will not be the nominee.

This is fun to say but it isn't true. Every Reublican candidate gets 40% automatically. 

 
What would the republicans have to do to replace him at the convention? Could they legally do it? I assume there are some kind of rules in place that the candidate must not be a felon or have filled out all the financial forms etc...they must be looking through every loophole to disqualify him.

A convention is an open caucus essentially where we know how many will vote, however while they can vote like they like most states have electors picked by the candidates in the first place. It would be great to see a floor challenge though, bring it.

 
So my theory on this whole "hacking" incident is that there is not enough money or air time between now and the election to cover all of those individual points so they just took the whole tome and released it to the press.  :tinfoilhat:

Well, the Republicans currently have a rule on the books where they're supposed to count the delegates' votes as they should be cast, regardless of how they actually vote.  But this is a convention rule that the rules committee can change prior to the convention.  Regardless of how the party counts votes, the delegates themselves never face any penalties for voting for whomever they want.  So it's actually quite easy to get this done if they want.  Or, they could just ignore the delegates entirely and choose the nominee in a smokey backroom.  It's their party, the voters only have the illusion of control.

Just read that the delegates don't have to vote for him necessarily, but somebody will have to lead the charge and it is essentially career suicide.

If the GOP pulled a screwjob, a lot of Trump voters wouldn't come back. At the very least for '16, some of them probably not at all. 

It could also -- and I don't think I'm being overly dramatic -- set off a riot at the convention. I really think the GOP needs to work with Trump as much as possible just to keep GOP turnout somewhat up and fight for Senate seats. Clinton's not as good of a candidate/campaigner as Obama or B. Clinton, but she's going to be organized, well-funded, and approach this election tactically. Trump's campaign -- what exists of it -- is a complete disaster.

 
“The main worry by those folks that I talk to in the national security and foreign policy universe is that he’s just winging it. And winging it . . . at this period in time is clearly dangerous,” said Kevin Madden, a veteran GOP strategist and former adviser to 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

“Some days I expect him to come out and say, ‘I’m not an expert on national security, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Let me tell you what I think,’ ” Madden said.

No, it was not their country, Their country was the Confederate States of America. The United States government burned their cities, farms and home and killed hundreds of thousands of their people. 

The Nazi analogy is poor as I find the atrocities of the Nazi regime not comparable to Americans trying to exercise their rights. A more apt analogy for me is the Indian Nations, foreign nations conquered by the US and then forced to live within the US. I do not support the Confederate flag or any foreign flag being flown on US government flags or buildings but I think the US Southern Culture should be shown the same respect as other cultures forced to assimilate. 

And that is what this all boils down to, the rights of others, it is the rights of the outsiders that define us. When it wasn't acceptable for Blacks and gays to march those are the rights that need to be protected sorry but protecting he rights of the KKK to have a parade is what true tolerance is about. 

When you see a hairy man bare assed with a inflatable dildo marching down Hollywood Boulevard or a bunch of Klansmen on the steps of the Columbus City hall steps it should bring a tear of awesomeness to you eye.

Wait.  You criticize BLM for their current tactics and violence.  But, if they were to take it to a whole new level, by taking over Ohio, announcing they were a new country that was seceding from the US and attacking Wright Patterson Air Force Base, then they'd only be exercising their rights, defending their country and entitled to celebrate the heritage of that country after the US put down the insurrection? I guess that makes sense in a Trumpian sort of way.

What we need to do is outlaw the manufacture and importation of assault rifles and its attendant ammunition.  There is zero need for a semi automatic (and easily made automatic) rifle for individual citizens.

"Need" is a silly statement, we could say that about a lot of things.  There is zero need for cars to be able to go over 75mph for individual citizens.  There is zero need for non-kitchen knives to be longer than 3" for individual citizens.

Trump is essentially endorsing the no-fly/no-gun law.

- Anyone know where he stands on the assault rifle ban?

Come on, he doesn't stand anywhere, except away from wind that might come near his head.  You know that.  This guy doesn't stand for anything.  

Except, it seems, using charitable foundations as political slush funds.

This seems like the kind of thing that might actually get investigated.  I really like the bit about how this charitable organization donated to the political organization supporting the Florida AG that declined to pursue the case against the august center of learning, Trump University.

I will often say that we throw around Hitler comparisons too easily, a practice which when made about a modern politician cheapens the memory of the people affected and distorts the level of evil that was 1930's and 40's Naziism.  When people said it about Bush, a president who I despised by the end of his term, I condemned them as there was nothing that approached the level of evil that fascism stands for.  When people said it about Obama I said the same and I've held the same position for all politicians running for the highest office in the land this time around...until now 
 
Even though Trump's behavior is erratic and his statements vile and abominable, I still chalked it up to a lunatic who was appealing to the lowest common denominator in today's bare knuckle politics.  But when he stripped the Washington Post of their credentials because of an unflattering headline I was shocked.   This wasn't the first member of the press he threw off but it is shocking in that the Post is one of most respected newsrooms in the country.  
 
The pulled credentials were over a headline which Trump said implied he was tying Obama to ISIS which after reading Trump's comments, the headline probably wasn't far off. 
 
"Look, we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind,  And the something else in mind -- you know, people can't believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on."
 
Trump could have asked for a retraction or an apology (although I don't think either was warranted) but to pull the credentials from the Washington Post is insanity, we're not talking about the National Enquirer here.   
 
Never before have I seen an politician have this kind of gall and yield this kind of power and to think what this can lead to if he were to be elected is frightening.   
 
This country is based on a few tenets, and one of the most important one might be the checks and balances we have.   Some of those are held by our government of elected and appointed officials but just as important is the job of the press.  If the press cannot get access to our politicians, they cannot do their job which is a job that is crucial to a free and open society and that is Gestapo-esque.

- This was a great post (though I'm not sure about 'Gestapoesque'), just thought I'd say I agree.

But I kind of wonder if Trump is really just pissed because the WaPo made him shell out that million dollars.

And btw again about the Gestapo and Hitler comparisons,people who have been saying that about Trump are sort of put to the test here.

If you really feel that way about Trump you shouldn't be in favor of the assault weapons ban because a "Gestapoesque", Hitler-like president and government would very much be the sort of authoritarian regime that supposed nutjobs who think they need weaponry to defend themselves from a potentially authoritarian government have been raising for years.

 
This is so great

So after the Orange Vermin sends off a $25,000 bribe to the Florida AG to keep his real estate scam from getting investigated, from his charitable foundation by the way.  

OK, so that's gross enough because of the irony, a charitable foundation bribing politicians from investigating a business that scammed the less-educated.  

The Trump campaign then explained it was a “series of unfortunate coincidences and errors,”  that led to this money going to a political action fund.  That's so great.  Because, you see, only one clerical error doesn't explain how this could happen.  Because only one clerical error gets you to send money to Pam Bondi in Florida.  

You need an entirely different clerical error to make the accounting mistake that says it's going to a non-profit.  

You know this bugs Trump, that he has to scurry around, making this #### up.  You know he wants to just say, 'it's my money, I'll send it wherever I want!!'

If I wanted his vote, I would get it.  Believe me.  You want the truth?  He offered me his vote, and I declined it.  I didn't want it, OK?  Believe me, I didn't.

The Trump campaign and the RNC basically don't work together.

Among other things, Priebus set up Trump with over 20 donor phone calls... Trump called 3 of them and gave up.

I can see where this is going if he loses: 

"We lost because you, the conservative voters, were betrayed by the Repuvlican establishment! They wanted Hillary to win, to spite me and you, because I wasn't the candidate they wanted. They rigged it; otherwise we would have won easily!"
