Video: The Most Disgusting Thing Donald Trump Has Said Yet

He keeps lowering the bar
Politics • Views: 44,761

Get ready to be disgusted. On ABC’s This Week, Donald Trump was asked by George Stephanopoulos about Khizr Khan, the father of Army Captain Humayun S.M. Khan, who died serving the US in Iraq and was hailed as a hero for warning his fellow soldiers away from a suspicious vehicle which then exploded and killed him.

Khizr Khan spoke at the Democratic convention and had some strong criticisms of Donald Trump and his anti-Muslim positions — and you know what that means. The thin-skinned orange fascist had to attack Mr. Khan, because he knows no other way to respond to criticism.

He not only attacked Khizr Khan, he attacked Khan’s wife as well. And he finished this vile rant by boasting about all the “sacrifices” he’s made in comparison to Mr. Khan and his wife.

The “sacrifices” he’s talking about? Being successful at business. How this becomes a “sacrifice” in Donald Trump’s twisted mind… well, who knows?

The sheer vile indecency of this guy is mind-boggling. But of course, you realize there are hundreds of right wing bloggers out there at this moment frantically searching for something they can use to smear Mr. Khan with, and paint him as a “radical Muslim.”

Jim Hoft, Stupidest Man on the Internet, has already enthusiastically co-signed Trump’s sickening statements — illustrated with a photo of some random ISIS terrorists. Hoft’s post contains a lot of info about Khan’s personal background and jobs, so it’s pretty obvious he searched for some smear material.

So Trump is too vile even for the Koch brothers.

And these are the billionire assholes who want Trump to win.

The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, meanwhile, are being urged to reconsider their opposition to Trump by some of the donors in their network who are supporting the Manhattan tycoon, including Minnesota media mogul Stanley S. Hubbard and Dallas investor Ray Washburne, according to the two Republicans familiar with the outreach.

If you notice a trend with the people who have attacked Mr. Khan, they’re all right wingers who have never sacrificed anything in their lives.

Oh really? The Democrats should have just let Trump continue to question the patriotism of Muslim-Americans even though there are people like the Khans who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this country while the GOP has a nominee whose idea of sacrifice are his accomplishments. The Democrats had every right to tell the Khans’ story because Muslim-Americans like them repeatedly have their patriotism and love of this country questioned like no other group.

They have no way of refuting what he talked about so they attack him for “not letting” his wife speak even though as already said, it would be easy if you actually had any empathy for anyone to see why she may not have spoken.

As I told a friend today, this is a moral issue. No one needs to know who they will vote for. People cheering loudly and proudly for him, people supporting him are making a clear statement about who…they….are. They are willfully choosing to give part of their identity and align themselves with this man. They can look in the mirror and see him looking back.

This is the country of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. Anyone pushing to put Donald Trump in the Oval Office, to put him on the same level, is beneath my contempt.

I will never forget who chose to support this man this year. Not among the people in my life, not among the Republican Party, not anyone who would vote for him in protest over Bernie. I am 43 and I have a lot of years left and I will not forget or forgive this time.

“The Arlington ceremony did not provide closure for the afflicted Strank family. As with John Bradley, but lacking his resolve to keep the outside world at bay, the Stranks endured for years afterward the calls and visits from veterans groups, reporters, the curious. One visitor, in the fall of 1948 was Harry S. Truman, storming through his legendary re-election campaign. Leaving his entourage at the doorstep, the President trooped into the living room of the tiny duplex that Vasil and Martha had scrimped to acquire many years earlier. As he took leave of Mike’s parents, Truman noticed young Mary standing quietly by the door. He bent down and said to he, “It was an honor to meet your parents.”

Coulter certainly throws Christianity around as it’s a big part of her life and certainly wants to force it down other people’s throats-does she even go to church? Does anybody really know?

I’d be honestly shocked. Not one to question someone’s religiousity but Coulter’s just oozes fake to me.= since she constantly uses it to put people down.

Wayne Grudem is a big mover and shaker among evangelicals. He is a research professor at the Phoenix Seminary here in Arizona, he was the major translator of the now-favored English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible, and his Systematic Theology is used in evangelical Protestant seminaries and colleges across the land.

A couple of days ago, Grudem published the following on TownHall:

Why Voting for Donald Trump Is a Morally Good Choice

townhall.com

Basically, the argument is that Clinton is so very, very evil because she’s pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage and pro-“gender confusion” (whatever that means). All of these things outweigh Donald Trump’s relatively minor sins.

The article has started to take fire among evangelical Protestant Twitter. There are a number of different responses: of course, there are the people who think it’s great, some of whom have versions of “pastor” in their Twitter Handle. I’ve occasionally tweeted at those guys something along the lines of: “right, vote for a man who holds women, the disabled, immigrants and minorities in contempt. Why are you a pastor?????”

Other evangelicals are #NeverTrump, but they’re also #NeverHillary, which is an interesting tightrope to watch them navigate. And then there are a third group, mostly women, who are pushing back strongly. Some of them are still very conservative, but they’re really tired of what’s at bottom of this.

And what is at bottom is that Grudem really does believe women are subordinate to men. He doesn’t believe women can head up a church, or be in any sort of ministry where a woman might *possibly* be in a position of authority over a man. He even came up with a list of 83 things women could and could not do in church. His Systematic Theology, which I mentioned above, also teaches a doctrine called “Eternal Subordination of the Son,”* which he came up with (in my opinion) as a way to keep us uppity women in our place. He is also a big mover and shaker in the so-called “complementarian” movement, where wives are told they must be subordinate to their husbands, otherwise they’re out of God’s will.

This, as much as anything regarding Clinton’s political positions, is why Grudem is opposed to Clinton. But he’s getting pushback, and I’m pleased to see it.

============
*I’m putting this in a note because it’s really “angels dancing on the head of a pin” stuff. Grudem has taken some flak lately over this “Eternal Subordination of the Son” (ESS) dogma. Other evangelical theologians are saying that ESS is promoting a form of semi-Arianism where Jesus is not the full equal of God the Father. (In the early 300s, a guy named Arius taught that Jesus was not God’s equal, but rather God’s first and best creation. The Nicene Creed in 325 was a response to Arianism.) Grudem and his friends teach that Jesus is subordinate to God the Father in some ways, and thus, women should be subordinate to men. Some of these winners even teach that women will be subordinate to men throughout eternity.

My opinion? Well, it’s amazing how far guys will go in manhandling (heh) their theological beliefs to keep us women down.

Top Donald Trump donors tried to set up a meeting between the GOP presidential nominee and Charles Koch in Colorado Springs on Friday, but Koch aides rejected the entreaties, according to two Republicans with knowledge of the outreach.

Koch and his brother David Koch, who helm an influential network of advocacy groups and major conservative donors, have been sharply critical of Trump’s rhetoric and policy stances and have indicated they do not intend to support his campaign.

Not really, I don’t think they take much personally, though I could be wrong. It’s that they see him as worse than a bad bet. If they thought he stood a real chance I think they’d be backing him based on his promised tax breaks alone. There’s a chance they might be worried about the long term blowback to their brand if he did win and their names became tied to his policies, but I really think it’s all odds and cost vs. likelihood of him winning that’s guiding them now.

16 dead in hot air balloon crash in Texas
This is a very bad accident. The balloon’s envelope appears to have separated in the explosion and is lying intact in a nearby field. The basket; a large, mostly aluminum structure; is in several pieces. One of these, part of the burner and its supporting frame, is a pretty good distance (@ 50 feet) from the powerline. It is badly dented and charred. A large part of the structure appears to be lodged in the power lines.

One of the names on there reminded me to look up his father, who may have been a worse candidate for US President than Trump, but the Republicans wouldn’t have him back then (1972).

Schmitz was notable for his extreme right-wing sympathies. By one measure, he was found to be the third most conservative member of Congress between 1937 and 2002,[1] and the ultra-conservative John Birch Society, of which Schmitz was a longtime leader, later expelled him for extremist rhetoric.[2]

Trump could have fought this battle in Vietnam, too, thanks to the Dragon Lady’s House of Pleasure and her many less formal colleagues who worked the streets wherever soldiers of any nationality could be found. Even a private in the US Army was a rich man by Vietnamese standards, and the corrupting effect on local society was profound. Trump might have liked it. Imagine how he would have enjoyed stiffing some hungry war widow out of her 2 dollars. The risk might have been too high even for him though.

So I just did a cursory search on YT for the ‘97 Stern interview. The two videos of the actual studio footage have the audio garbled. Poster of video says it works fine on a computer vs mobile device. I don’t have access to mine now. Anyone?

One of the names on there reminded me to look up his father, who may have been a worse candidate for US President than Trump, but the Republicans wouldn’t have him back then (1972).

Kicked out of the Birch Society. That’s bad.

This notorious person was Schmitz’s daughter:

Mary Kay Letourneau is an American former schoolteacher who pleaded guilty to two counts of felony second degree rape of a child, her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualaau. Her plea agreement called for six months in jail, with three months suspended, and no contact with Fualaau for life.
*snip*
After her release in 2004, since he was over 18, Fualaau asked the court for the no-contact order to be revoked, and the court agreed. Letourneau and Fualaau married in 2005, and she took his name.
*snip*
Letourneau and her husband were the DJ and hosts for three “Hot for Teacher Night” promotions at a Seattle night club.

It should also be noted that the current Moroccan Government is weird. It is a coalition of Moderate Islamists, Ruralists, Socialists, and Independents. However, it seems to be working, as there have been no attacks in the country, and the country is ok-ish economically.

They recently dismantled a huge number of DAESH cells planning attacks.

Just how big an asshole was Schmitz, father of a child molester and various Republican activists? This is the incident that got him thrown out of the JBS:

In 1981, [CA State Senator] Schmitz—who was staunchly pro-life—chaired a committee hearing on abortion. Feminist attorney Gloria Allred testified at the hearing in support of the pro-choice position, and afterward sarcastically presented Schmitz with a black leather chastity belt. Schmitz’s committee then issued a press release under the headline, “Senator Schmitz and His Committee Survive Attack of the Bulldykes”, describing the hearing room as filled with “hard, Jewish and (arguably) female faces.” Allred sued Schmitz for libel, claiming $10 million in damages, but settled for $20,000 and an apology.

The extent to which JBS positions of the 60s and 70s have become the Republican mainstream in recent years is really quite striking. This is most evident in the career of Representative Larry McDonald (D-GA), a longtime Birch member who served briefly as the cult’s second president before he was murdered by the Soviets on KAL 007. It’s all there, Austrian school economics, antisemitic conspiracy theories, homophobia, conspira-lies about the Trilateral commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, racism and an obsession with guns.

…..the American Journal of Political Science[7] named him the second most conservative member of either chamber of Congress between 1937 and 2002 (behind only Ron Paul)

Interestingly enough, McDonald, like Paul, was a physician who had served as an Air Force flight surgeon. I have always thought that the crazy density was pretty high among flight surgeons, an opinion I would venture to say is shared by a great many other aviators past and present.

The stations said Trump was trapped inside an elevator at The Mining Exchange Hotel with ten other people 30 minutes.

Firefighters opened the top elevator hatch and lowered a ladder to get everyone out of the elevator.

Firefighters rescue Trump from a broken elevator, then Trump bashes the Fire Marshal. Un-fucking-real.

And yes, they acknowledge it’s EARLY:

The Chronicle editorial page does not typically endorse early in an election cycle; we prefer waiting for the campaign to play out and for issues to emerge and be addressed. We make an exception in the 2016 presidential race, because the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is not merely political. It is something much more basic than party preference.

The Houston Chronicle’s Editorial Board has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

And yes, they acknowledge it’s EARLY:

As a Norwegian, I would like to remind the VDare folks that the first white child born in America was Snorri, son of Thorfinn Karlsefni and Gudrid Thorbjornsdottir, widow of Thorstein Eiriksson. So all o’ yall aren’t pure enough!

Not to mention that Virginia Dare and the others on the Lost Colony almost certainly intermarried with the local Indians. You know what’s most pathetic about Dinesh D’Sousa is that if the rank and file right wing assholes he writes for ever saw him, they’d probably shout racial slurs at him. Yet he continues to be a willing right wing stooge.

“i can hardly believe that the leadership of the republican party remains silent while their candidate insults the parents of a war hero”

I think the main reason none of them are saying anything against Trump is because they’re afraid to offend his supporters. They don’t want to deal with the blowback they’ll likely receive from them. In other words, they’re cowards, cowards who are failing to accept personal responsibility for the situation they’ve created in their party—-a situation comprised of a Frankenstein monster and angry villagers, only the villagers aren’t angry at the monster but its creators.

“The Houston Chronicle’s Editorial Board has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.”

I was just thinking about something you noted yesterday about the sexist attacks some on the right are making on HRC. I just left Josh Marshall’s site, Talking Points Memo, and there’s a post on Romney. In it, Romney first says Trump could win, then, he says he could lose. He seems to think HRC is an ‘awful candidate’ and questions why she “went into the audience, put her arms up in the air and guffawed.” This guy showed his misogyny in 2012 with his “binders full of women” comment. I have an adult daughter, and I raised her to believe she could do anything with her life she chooses to do. Romney is a 1st Class *sshat for attacking HRC for raising her arms, moving into the audience to meet people, and smiling too hard. F*ck him with a 100 year old rusty RR spike. If he only knew how few people really care to hear anything he has to say on any subject, he’d STFU.

“”To be honest, it’s very possible in my view that Trump wins,” Romney said. “I wouldn’t think it’d be by a landslide, but I think he could win. I think he could lose, I think he could lose by a landslide. But, I don’t know which it’s going to be and a lot of that depends on what happens to Hillary Clinton. Is there a meltdown moment, or some implosion of some kind?”“

Trump is basically Romney is Romney wasn’t a weasel and said the kind of things Trump says in public in private.

As I mentioned in a thread below, Ryan is so close to Galt’s Gulch he can smell it. All he needs to dismantle the social safety net is a GOP president to sign the bills. Jeb, Marco, Ted, any of them would’ve done nicely, but he’s stuck with Trump. So he’s going to hold his nose and ride the Trump Train because Hillary isn’t going to repeal Obamacare, or block grant Medicaid, or voucherize Medicare, or give billionaires trillions of dollars in tax cuts. For Ryan, Trump is the only game in town.

I know, criminal intent and paranoia but two more of the objections that have blocked reform including the mandate to report lost or stolen weapons.
