The Nazi Who Originated Donald Trump Jr.’s Skittles Analogy Was Hanged at Nuremberg


https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/778016283342307328

The concept dates back at least to 1938 and Julius Streicher's children’s book called Der Giftpilz, or The Toadstool, in which a mother explains to her son that it only takes one Jew to destroy an entire people.

Hitler said about Julius Streicher: “Now that Jews are known for what they are, nobody any longer thinks that Streicher libeled them.”

Streicher was hanged at Nuremburg in 1946 for crimes against humanity. Did he run a concentration camp? NO! It was very simple what he did to deserve hanging as explained in the court's death sentencing: "week after week, month after month, he infected the German mind with the virus of anti-Semitism, and incited the German people to active persecution."

After more than a year of candidate Trump, Americans are almost desensitized to each new failing exhumed from his past—the losing schemes and cheapskate cruelties, the discrimination and misogyny—much as they are to the daily indecencies of the present: the malice toward a grieving mother, the hidden tax records, the birther fiction and other lies. But where, in all that, is much talk of the future?

President Trump’s First Term – His campaign tells us a lot about what kind of Commander-in-Chief he would be.

Trump aides are organizing what one Republican close to the campaign calls the First Day Project. “Trump spends several hours signing papers—and erases the Obama Presidency,” he said. Stephen Moore, an official campaign adviser who is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, explained, “We want to identify maybe twenty-five executive orders that Trump could sign literally the first day in office.”

‘Jane Doe’ Plans to Re-File Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Trump With ‘Additional Witness’

by Alberto Luperon 12:08 pm, September 16th, 2016

An alleged sexual assault victim is postponing her case against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and disgraced billionaire Jeffrey E. Epstein. Her attorney, Thomas F. Meagher, told LawNewz.com that they’ve filed temporarily dropped the case. On Friday, they filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without prejudice. A new lawsuit will be forthcoming.

“An additional witness has been identified and her declaration will accompany the new complaint,” he said.

The woman, named in court documents as “Jane Doe” is suing Trump and Epstein for allegedly molesting her when she was thirteen. Trump’s attorneys have vigorously denied the claims, even threatening to go after the attorney for filing a frivolous claim.

Hmmmmm, seems only fitting that Trump and his ilk would follow lockstep to the rat-ta-tat-tat of the "Master Race" guns. And to think, I wanted Trump to win so that the "Master Race" could finally shut up. But I think I was
wrongheaded about it all.

Lock them up and throw away the key is the only solution. At least the jihadists are honest about their hatred for America and our culture, but these guys are truly scary.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland and daughter of Robert Kennedy, met with the 41st president in Maine on Monday, Sept 19th (who says there’s no American aristocracy?) and posted a picture on Facebook of the two of them, with the caption, “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!” She then told Politico that Bush had told her that. Bush had previously said he would abstain from the race. Bush’s spokesman did not deny Townsend’s claim, saying in a statement, “The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days. He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim.”

The last two weeks have seen the Democrat at a low ebb in polls, and Trump at a peak. That seems to have rattled some Republicans who were content to sit the race out, on the assumption that Trump had no chance of winning: Better to abstain and let Trump fail than take the risk of endorsing a Democrat. But with the race tied or nearly tied with 50 days out, some Republicans seem to be getting antsy. ---

They are not opposing Trump because of policy differences. Trump wants the end of Obamacare and low taxes on high incomes as much as any famous Republican politician. It is the problem of Trump's character and what happens to the GOP's future after Trump. The GOP is content with trading the White House back and forth between themselves and the Democrats. The USA inevitably needs a rest from Republicanism after a Nixon or a Bush 43, but a Trump #1 might be the last Republican in the White House after his silly and high-spirited mischief as President. The GOP has been around for centuries and they would like to still be electing Presidents for a few more decades after Trump, who could ruin the party's reputation.

Trump charity pays to settle his business lawsuits

Donald Trump spent more than a quarter-million dollars from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits that involved the billionaire’s for-profit businesses, according to interviews and a review of legal documents.

Those cases, which together used $258,000 from Trump’s charity, were among four newly documented expenditures in which Trump may have violated laws against “self-dealing” — which prohibit nonprofit leaders from using charity money to benefit themselves or their businesses.

In one case, from 2007, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club faced $120,000 in unpaid fines from the town of Palm Beach, Fla., resulting from a dispute over the height of a flagpole.

In a settlement, Palm Beach agreed to waive those fines — if Trump’s club made a $100,000 donation to a specific charity for veterans. Instead, Trump sent a check from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a charity funded almost entirely by other people’s money, according to tax records.

In another case, court papers say one of Trump’s golf courses in New York agreed to settle a lawsuit by making a donation to the plaintiff’s chosen charity. A $158,000 donation was made by the Trump Foundation, according to tax records.

The Dallas Morning News Is Paying Dearly For Endorsing Hillary Clinton
www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-dallas-morning-news-is-paying-dear
ly-for-endorsing-hillary-clinton/ar-BBwpr8u?ocid=spartanntp


The Dallas Morning News is paying a steep price for endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, in the form of canceled subscriptions and loud protests.

The endorsement broke a 75-year streak in the paper’s history of endorsing Republicans, and generated a lot of reader pushback in the form of angry comments and vows to unsubscribe from the paper. Texas hasn’t gone Democrat in a presidential election in 40 years.

“Certainly we’ve paid a price for our presidential recommendation,” Dallas Morning News editor Mike Wilson said. “But then, we write our editorials based on principle, and sometimes principle comes at a cost.”

The editorial acknowledges what the paper calls Clinton’s “warts.” “But they pale in comparison to the litany of evils some opponents accuse her of. Treason? Murder? Her being cleared of crimes by investigation after investigation has no effect on these political hyenas; they refuse to see anything but conspiracies and cover-ups. We reject the politics of personal destruction. Clinton has made mistakes and displayed bad judgment, but her errors are plainly in a different universe than her opponent's.”

Her Republican opponent Donald Trump is an unacceptable choice for president.

“Trump’s values are hostile to conservatism,” the editorial board wrote. “He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best.”

Trump has promised to either alter or abandon the Paris climate agreement if elected.

On Tuesday, Stephen Hawking and 374 other prominent scientists issued a personal plea to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump: Don’t back out of the Paris climate agreement.

Doing so could have “severe and long-lasting” consequences for global climate and US credibility, warns an open letter penned by members of the National Academy of Sciences, including 30 Nobel laureates.
http://responsiblescientists.org/

Trump’s approach reflects a broader GOP strategy when it comes to energy talks: ambiguity. Many Republican politicians do not often specifically mention climate change by name, instead focusing on US energy independence and the economic impact of such deals. That strategy has been employed by other GOP heavy-hitters such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who are reluctant to make economic changes to combat climate change.

Yet more and more Americans recognize the reality of climate change, making outright denial more politically risky.

If Trump wins the election and the accord is not ratified by inauguration day (has 48%, needs 55%), he could try to revoke US participation. Technically, he could stall climate progress even if the deal is set before then – but the agreement's drafters may have predicted such a scenario: written into one article is a requirement that any nation wishing to withdraw first wait for four years, exactly a US President’s term in office.

Ultimately, it may not matter all that much even if Trump does bail on the Paris accord, some experts say. The US is already on track to meet its promises under the deal, since an increase in natural gas use has displaced industrial coal and reduced emissions.

“He might go back on the agreement in Paris but the net effect for the US is not likely to make much of a difference, if at all, in terms of our trajectory,” an anonymous White House official told the Guardian in May.
