From Last Of The Millenniums:

Yeah…..Trump is really going to work hard for the middle class workers of this Country…………

‘Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto, presiding over a lawsuit related to unpaid bills brought by a local paint store against the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort, ordered the billionaire politician’s company to pay the Doral-based mom-and-pop shop nearly $300,000 in attorney’s fees’.

‘All because, according to the lawsuit, Trump allegedly tried to stiff The Paint Spot on its last payment of $34,863 on a $200,000 contract for paint used in the renovation of the home of golf’s famed Blue Monster two years ago’.

Suddenly the Press Gets Upset About Criminalizing Politics

From conservative James Wigderson at Right Wisconsin:

Don’t worry about me, Gettys. Don’t worry about me. I’m Charles Foster Kane. I’m no cheap, crooked politician, trying to save himself from the consequences of his crimes. Gettys. I’m going to send you to Sing Sing! Sing Sing, Gettys! SING SIIIIIIIIING!

* Citizen Kane

So the mainstream media is losing it over New Jersey Governor Chris Christie putting Hillary Clinton on trial before the assembled crowd. “Is she guilty or not guilty?” They’re also not happy over the chants of “lock her up!” They’re probably not going to be happy with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker saying that if Hillary was anymore inside, she’d be in prison.

I’m sympathetic. No, really, I don’t believe that political policy differences should be considered criminal offences.

From (O)CT(O)PUS at The Swash Zone:

Forget Trumpence. Trumpenance. Or Trumpenitence. What we have is TrumPutin, according to Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and chairman of the Human Rights Foundation based in New York. Kasparov is also author of “Winter is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped.” Donald Trump reminds Kasparov of Vladimir Putin and “that is terrifying” he says in this op-ed that appears in today’s Washington Post:

RNC Day 3: Thank You, Ted

found online by Raymond

 
From Dave Dubya at Freedom Rants:

Things have been really heating up inside Mount Doom on the Cuyahoga.

We can thank “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz for most of those BTUs.

Cruz is one the worst of the fundamentalist tea-bagging Republicans to come along. Despite being unlikable in every way, the guy has a Nixonian calculating sense of strategy and purpose.

Too bad his purpose is to create a corporatist theocracy.

Lyin’ Ted seized his moment, and drew boos and howls from agitated Trumpies at the convention, only after failing to endorse their anointed One Who Will “Make America Great Again” ™.

From Capt. Fogg at Human Voices:

Maybe the “hands up – Don’t shoot” touring company should have waited to use that chant a bit longer, because the city of North Miami, Florida has acted out the scenario without needing to force anything to fit.

In what seems a perfect example of “shoot first and refuse to answer questions later” two officers with rifles shot an unarmed, co-operative behavioral therapist from an assisted living facility who was trying to protect and retrieve an autistic resident who had run out into the street.

Cable Nets Whitewash RNC’s Racism Right Off the Screen

found online by Raymond

 
From Tommy Christopher at Mediaite:

Following their drubbing in the 2012 election, Republicans produced a document nicknamed an “autopsy report” that detailed what went wrong, most of which had to do with being too hostile towards anyone who isn’t a white heterosexual male, but in particular, to the crucial Hispanic voting block. Four years later, the Republican Party has not only succumbed completely to overt racism and xenophobia in the form of presumptive nominee Donald Trump, they’ve also gotten in on the act themselves.
