Child Yells Profanity Re: Hillary at Trump Rally

A 10 year old attending a Trump rally with his mother, Pam Kohler, of Mount Vernon, VA, stood up twice and yelled out "Take the b*tch down" when Trump mentioned Hillary Clinton's name.

His mother identified herself to reporters as and stuck up for her son's remark. She said, “I think he has a right to speak what he wants to."

Ms. Kohler and her son were sitting in the media section of the rally and according to the Wall St Journal, both were holding signs that said "Hillary for Prison.....Asked where he would learn such a phrase, she said, "Democratic schools"

BS. He learned it from his mother. [More...]

The most absurd (and insulting) column of the day is in the Wall St. Journal, arguing that Blacks would support because of how much they liked the Apprentice. He just has to pitch them.

"Mr. Trump hasn’t (yet) offended blacks to the extent that he’s offended other groups, but neither has he given many of them a reason to vote for him."

...For many blacks, Mr. Trump’s bling and brashness were as impressive as his net worth....Imagine if Mr. Trump took time to campaign in places like Jay Z’s old neighborhood and talk to the residents about why so many lots are empty, why all those buildings are boarded up, why foreign nationals run so many of the small businesses, why the bodega charges so much for milk and eggs, why good schools and jobs are so scarce. ..... He could explain how he would do things differently. Mr. Trump, billionaire developer, would have both the knowledge and credibility to discuss these matters. And he would have an audience, likely a big one.

Is he writing satire? Has he not seen the F*ck Donald Trump video by rappers YG and Nipsey Hussle, with 7 million views? A remix with G-Eazy has been sung at every stop this summer on YG and G-Eazy's Endless Summer tour, from Lollapalooza to St Louis to Nashville to Virginia. They even performed it in Tokyo.

Here's a clean version that aired on Comedy Central with the artists substituting "No Donald Trump" for "F*ck Donald Trump."

Here's the song being blared by protesters outside a Trump rally in San Diego. YG also turned the song into this very effective anti-Trump commercial.

On a related note, check out this Montel Williams rant against Trump insulting a military member even before the Khan mess. He's referring to Trump's slam of John McCain (and Montel points out he's no fan of McCain's politics.) Even Sarah Palin's son-in-law bashed Trump today.

So what happens when Trump figures out he can't win? Does he drop out leaving the race between Hillary and Mike Pence? NBC this week promised Trump will never be allowed back on the Apprentice.

No parent in his or her right mind would vote for Donald Trump.

    Meg Whitman's statement on Facebook: (none / 0) (#15)
    by Donald from Hawaii on Wed Aug 03, 2016 at 02:56:35 AM EST
    "As a proud Republican, casting my vote for President has usually been a simple matter. This year is different. To vote Republican out of party loyalty alone would be to endorse a candidacy that I believe has exploited anger, grievance, xenophobia and racial division. Donald Trump's demagoguery has undermined the fabric of our national character.

    "Trump's reckless and uninformed positions on critical issues - from immigration to our economy to foreign policy - have made it abundantly clear that he lacks both the policy depth and sound judgment required as President. Trump's unsteady hand would endanger our prosperity and national security. His authoritarian character could threaten much more.

    "Therefore, I have decided to support Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is clear to me that Secretary Clinton's temperament, global experience and commitment to America's bedrock national values make her the far better choice in 2016 for President of the United States. In a tumultuous world, America needs the kind of stable and aspirational leadership Secretary Clinton can provide. I urge all Republicans to reject Donald Trump this November."

    It should be noted that Whitman's revulsion toward Trump is already fairly well known. She had earlier supported Chris Christie's candidacy, only to completely denounce and repudiate him last February when he dropped out and endorsed Trump.

    The HP CEO is by far the most prominent Republican to break ranks and endorse Hillary Clinton. I suspect that she probably won't be the last.

    Morning Joe.  These shows the last couple of weeks particularly will probably end up in the Smithsonian or the very least the museum of broadcasting.  

    They are exploring topics in ways and with people, like Gen. Michael Hayden, no one else in broadcast journalism will touch.

    Scarborough just said something so amazing I had to run in from the kitchen to rewind to make sure I heard it right.   In the conversation with Hayden about what kinds of safeguards there are against crazy people getting their hands on the nuclear codes, there aren't many, he related a story.  I rewound to make sure I got the quote right.  I'm absolutely sure it will be up later.

    ".....um.....I'm.....uh, I have to follow up with that, and I'll be very careful here, (Stern look from Mica so this is probably her father we are talking about-speculation) several months ago a....uh....foreign policy..expert.  On the international level went to advise Donald Trump and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons.   Three times he asked 'if we have them, why can't we use them?'  ......three times in a one hour briefing, why can't we use nuclear weapons.

    Followed by a looooong and very uncomfortable pause for broadcast tv.

    Then Scarborough asked Hayden what is the time frame.  From the time Trump decided to use nuclear weapons, how long before they are launched?

    Hayden, it's dependent on the situation but it's a system that designed for speed and it's not designed to debate the decision.

    The whole show has been interesting so far but that, THAT.   That was some gripping live tv.

    Madeline Albright's?
    Albright was an early opponent of the Powell doctrine that the United States should restrict its military interventions to situations in which its vital interests are threatened, and should always insist on using overwhelming force. In his memoirs, Powell recalled that he almost had "an aneurysm" when Albright challenged him to explain "What's the point of having this superb military you're always talking about if we can't use it?"

    ... along with his own credibility, when he waved that vial of talcum powder before the U.N. General Assembly and a worldwide broadcast audience on February 5, 2003, and alluded to us all that it was anthrax from Saddam's WMD program.

    4,501 American military personnel ultimately lost their lives and another 32,249 were wounded in that subsequent debacle in Iraq, thanks in no small part to that deceitful performance. Gen. Powell's own (now-former) reputation as a straight shooter served to convince many Americans -- and sorry to admit, but yours truly included, albeit reluctantly -- about the likely veracity of the Bush administration's claims, which later proved to be as phony as a $3 bill.

    I can appreciate the fact that Gen. Powell himself had expressed serious doubts about the evidence prior to going to the U.N., and may have further been deceived by a Bush White House that was all gung-ho for war in Iraq. But he should have then played the part of the honorable soldier, resigned his post as Secretary of State and gone public with his suspicions, rather than merely agree to be the good soldier and go along for the ride.

    Powell forever disgraced himself that day, as far as I'm concerned. What he did was unforgivable.

    I didn't call him names or slur him. Rather, I simply stated those facts which support my own contention that "as far as I'm concerned," Colin Powell is no longer a credible source of information on the subject of foreign policy.

    As for your looking for similarities between Mme. Albright's reputed statement to Gen. Powell and Trump's question to an unnamed "foreign policy expert," since both are clearly second-hand and not primary-sourced quotes -- that it, they were recounted by a third party, who may or may not have a personal agenda of his / her own -- you're wasting your time comparing such hearsay.

    In short, what's your point? Are you dredging up Albright's reputed statement to somehow justify Trump's reported stance on the use of nuclear weapons? Or are you more interested in making a case that both sides are equally nuts, which in my opinion constitutes a false equivalence?

    From Wikipedia
    Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.[2]

    I wish you wouldn't keep using argumentation tactics so similar to that of Donald Trump.  It is ridiculous to beg the question of the equivalence of Albright's and Trump's questions and who else is saying we don't have to worry about what Scarborough claimed Trump asked because it is hearsay?

    There are a lot of Muslims in the black community as well, according to wiki about 25% of all Muslims in America are African Americans, and they make up the majority of Muslim converts.  Now, most black people in this country are Christian, but even the Christians are more likely to be friends and neighbors with Muslims.  Nevermind that they already vote 90% Democrat on average.

    Besides, I think most minorities - even Asians and black people who aren't being directly targeted - can see the problem with empowering someone who clearly has disdain for civil rights.

    they are now planning an intervention

    No, really.  And calling it an intervention.  Good luck with that Reince.

    This is from WaPo-

    There is a rule, Rule 9, which spells out how a nominee can be replaced. But: "The rule is pretty clear about the conditions for filling a vacancy," Putnam writes. "The list is short: death, declination or otherwise. And let's be clear here: The rule is intended to fill vacancies, not to lay the groundwork for a replacement.
    "Some have speculated that 'otherwise' is ambiguous. Taken out of context it is," he continued. "However, under the provisions for filling vacancies, it clearly fills in any gap between death and declination (i.e.: an incapacitating illness, but one that leaves the nominee neither dead nor able to decline to run further). And that was the intention." In other words, the only way Trump won't be the nominee is if he drops dead, falls into a coma or simply decides not to run.
    It's not clear which of those is least likely. Probably the coma, just given the odds.

    From an article titled something like "sorry, you are stuck with him.

    I think thats true.

    There is a theory that this whole thing actually reinforces his "fixed" meme.  And while it IMO certainly will not help him win, every day this goes on he is more of a hero to his insane supporters.  And will in all likelihood assist his creation of a Batsh!t media empire.

    I just saw a guy who said "I've said he would have to kill some one but if he killed the right person, I would still vote for him"

    I think we have widespread voter fraud, but the first thing that Trump needs to do is begin talking about it constantly," Stone said. "He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: `I am leading in Florida. The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there's voter fraud. If there's voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government.'"

    "If you can't have an honest election, nothing else counts," he continued. "I think he's gotta put them on notice that their inauguration will be a rhetorical, and when I mean civil disobedience, not violence, but it will be a bloodbath. The government will be shut down if they attempt to steal this and swear Hillary in. No, we will not stand for it. We will not stand for it."

    Nearly all of the former are no longer Trump supporters. And I'm finding the latter group is becoming smaller and smaller.  And some are becoming more and more uncomfortable admitting it or defending it.

    The flip side of that is I think there is a not insignificant number of people who will vote for Trump but not admit it.  To you or to a pollster.

These same people have been yelling about abortion forever and now they're going to a candidate that believes there should be no restrictions on abortion and that freedom of religion is a bad thing?

    with his amazing denunciation yesterday from the White House -- not just the party convention -- according to intriguing analyses.

    Why?  Because dumping Trump now means agreeing with Obama.  The GOP is not gonna go there. . . .

    I would not want to play chess with Obama.

    It seems to have had two purposes.  He made a good job of separating republicans and conservatives from Trump in his convention speech.  This, they say, is part of a play for reasonable conservative voters.   By not demonizing republicans but Donald.  And at the same time tieing him around the neck of republican office holders.

    Pretty darn smart.

    of George Wallace's old running mate Curtis LeMay..

    He seems to be appealing to the same "take the bitch down" segment of the populace Wallace appealed to..
