He’s made America vile. He’s got angel-voiced children yelling “bitch” and flipping the bird at rallies. He’s got young athletes chanting “build a wall” at Latino kids on the other side. He’s made it O.K. to bully and fat-shame. He’s normalized perversion, bragging about how an aging man with his sense of entitlement can walk in on naked women.

Here’s his lesson for young minds: If you’re rich and boorish enough, you can get away with anything. Get away with sexual assault. Get away with not paying taxes. Get away with never telling the truth. Get away flirting with treason. Get away with stiffing people who work for you, while you take yours. Get away with mocking the disabled, veterans and families of war heroes.

[N]ow, in the final days of a horrid campaign, an unshackled Trump is more national threat than punch line. He’s determined to cause lasting damage.

Is there one sector of society he has yet to maul? Until this week, it was the denial wing of his own party, those “leaders” who looked the other way while their leader walked all over the Constitution.

But those who take pleasure in watching Trump destroy the Republican Party are missing the bigger picture. He’s trying to destroy the country, as well. Civility, always a tenuous thing, cannot be quickly restored in a society that has learned to hate in public, at full throttle.

A wounded bear is a dangerous thing. Detested and defeated, Donald Trump is now in a tear-the-country-down rage. 

The Republicans who sat silently while Trump was vile, until they suddenly discovered their patriotism and conscience last weekend, do not get a pass. They built him, starting in 1968 with the Southern Strategy, and they strengthened and empowered him with the rise of right-wing hate radio and Fox “news”.

Donald Trump will lose this election, but he needs to lose in a landslide. He needs to lose by huge margins, so that he is humiliated and unambiguously rejected by the decent people in our country. 

Donald Trump, and everything he represents, must be repudiated on November 8th, so talk to your friends and neighbors, get involved in your community, and get as many people out to vote for Secretary Clinton as you can. We must show Donald Trump and everyone who empowered him that we reject everything he stands for, and that we know we are stronger together

Donald Trump had a big brother who died at the young age of 43 in 1981. Freddy Trump wasn’t as into real estate as his little brother or dad, and by the time he died, he had a reputation as an alcoholic, which some people think is why Donald himself is a vigorous teetotaler – he watched his big brother destroy himself with booze. Before Freddy died, he got married and had two kids, Mary and Fred III. Those two kids grew up, got married (not to each other), started their own families, and moved on with life.

Then something weird happened. Somewhere along the way, Donald Trump’s father decided to exclude his dead alcoholic son’s heirs from his will. So when Fred Trump Sr. died in 1999, the millions of dollars he left behind were divided among Donald and his two living siblings – everyone in Freddy’s family was cut out of the inheritance. Specifically, Donald Trump helped his father draft a will which divided “at least $20 million, among his children and their descendants, ‘other than my son Fred C. Trump Jr.’”

Now, we know what people will do for a fiver to buy a pack of smokes. Imagine what people will do for their cut of a multi-million-dollar windfall. Now imagine what those people would do if they had a newborn child who had just been diagnosed with cerebral palsy – which is exactly what had happened to Fred III. Fred and his sister sued the family for their share of the estate, because who wouldn’t? Their grandfather was a 93-year-old man who suffered from Alzheimer’s, and the whole will seemed fishy. When Donald Trump found out his nephew was suing over the will, he did something amazing. He cut off his nephew’s baby son’s medical benefits, claiming he “was angry because they sued.”

8 Insane Donald Trump Moments The World Totally Forgot

At Long Last, Trump Blames The Jews For His Failed Campaign.

dailykos.com
We knew this was coming. It came in his speech tonight. Donald Trump lashed out at global elites who undermine American sovereignty through “international banks” — and many observers couldn’t help but notice the underlying anti-Semitic message. ...

suricattus:

Honestly, if Trump wants to blame American Jews for his downfall, I’m happy to share responsibility.  I’d kick his legs out from under him personally if that’s what it took.

But it also proves that he knows _exactly_ who his base fandom is, and has no problem appealing directly to the white nationalist, neo-nazi fuckwits lurking in our national crawlspaces.  

So yeah, when you say “oh, Trump’s supporters are just angry” I say “f**k that response to anger, and to hell anyone who tries to rationalize or justify it.”


(In Donny’s motivations, I suspect less actual bigotry than inherent and pathological narcissism driving him to appeal to whoever will be useful to his goals, without thought for actual repercussions.  He’s THAT particular piece of sociopathic shit)

Trump called deaf actress Marlee Matlin the R word

This is a new low: During Celebrity Apprentice, Trump reportedly called Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, who is deaf, “retarded.“ Three sources told the Daily Beast that he would mimic her and make insulting, demeaning remarks. In her presence, he wrote heinous, derogatory comments on napkins.

There’s nothing better than your grandma’s cooking…except maybe a bunch of grandmas’ cooking all in one restaurant. That’s exactly what Enoteca Maria in Staten Island, New York is offering.
