Congratulations Trump rest of the formalities will be completed by Nov. 2016 !

Senator Jeff Sessions, an early backer of Trump, placed the New York businessman’s name in nomination, calling him “a warrior and a winner.”

With all the doom and gloom, more like a worrier and a whiner.

Ahhh, Dems...gotta love them. Their moaning sounds like that old Sparks song "Angst in pants."

Trump's got that new campaign manager, Manafort, who claimed regarding Melania's plagiarism:

It's just another example, as far as we're concerned, that when Hillary Clinton is threatened by a female, the first thing she does is try to destroy the person.

which is absolutely hilarious. He's implying that Hillary herself wrote or had someone insert those sentences into the speech. My God, if she's THAT good, we really do need her as president!

Anyway, heads are gonna roll. Wonder whose.

Okay, let's move on now Laguna. Your Messia also was proven to have plagiarized some years ago as Bass proved earlier.

Hillary as president! Will she have security clearance after her deliberate and reckless handling of sensative information? And Bill kanoodling with female staffers in a back room. Maybe he'll take them to the Oval Office when Hillary is out and about. Go Trump, Go Trump, GO TRUMP!!!

-15 ( +8 / -23 )

Go Trump,,,,,Clinton jail time

-18 ( +9 / -27 )

Yes, let's move on. The people aren't interested in facts.

With Hillary it's move on and dismiss the facts, when it comes to Trump, we have to pay attention to the facts because facts matters when it comes to liberal desperations.

-15 ( +7 / -22 )

Party officials are hoping to use the convention to smooth out some of his rough edges and present him as a job creator and a strong hand to combat security threats at home and abroad.

The Fraud King, Donald J. Trump.

What does Trump know about combating security threats at home and abroad?

Oh, yeah! Trump's Daddy sent Donny to Military School at age 13 for uncontrollable outbursts of prejudiced and, well the records show very clearly.

So, a discipline problem Trump's Daddy disposes in the Military School and Donny who ran from the Draft and attacked Disabled Veterans at Trump Towers, is now, some how, 'a strong hand to combat security threats at home and abroad'?

Trump's a Dunce. The RNC is his puppet.

post script: That Manafort guy seems really scary. Is his family in concrete up by Donny's digs? You know, where really, really rich people live? Who use concrete live? Those People?

The unwavering dignity, grace, and integrity exhibited by the Obama family, even in the face of prejudice, hate, and obstructionism, will be sorely missed. I wish them much happiness in their post-White House lives. Happy to see the GOP can applaud sentiments originally articulated by Mrs. Obama.

Sorry, Mark - that whole plagiarism thing is so yesterday (though I'd hate to be the plebe responsible for it today - wonder if he did it on purpose, and hope he can swim in Lake Erie with concrete shoes).

Today, let's take up Douglas' suggestion and talk about this whole "Clinton for jail" meme that Republicans either find so hilarious or are so serious about as to let it creep into official speeches (even Trump has mentioned it) Seriously?! I mean, I understand how Bush and Cheney are reluctant to travel abroad, Interpol and all, but they're safe at home. The GOP is making the USA look like a banana republic (or Putin's Russia - but then, Trump) with this nonsense. Foolish and short-sighted - just as what sums up the entire GOP platform.

Wait a minute! You are calling Trump a fraud? Seriously! So that would make Hillary what? A woman of strong ethics? LOL

Sheer will and determination, add to that having the ears of the Pentagon and the Generals.

Oh, yeah! Trump's Daddy sent Donny to Military School at age 13 for uncontrollable outbursts of prejudiced and, well the records show very clearly.

So what, he is the elected nominee, No One cares what he did when he was 13 just like No One cares that Obama smoked weed and inhaled it.

So, a discipline problem Trump's Daddy disposes in the Military School and Donny who ran from the Draft and attacked Disabled Veterans at Trump Towers, is now, some how, 'a strong hand to combat security threats at home and abroad'?

Clinton was a draft dodger and he was a decent president.

Trump's a Dunce. The RNC is his puppet.

Because of JT rules, I can't say what the DNC really are, so I will digress.

drew accusations of plagiarism.

?? parts of the fake speech were word for word copied. Amazing Trump thought no one would notice. Somehow he has missed the internet.

Anyway, what is going on is the final death spasms of the republican party. The fraud Trump is putting last nails is a party that has been dying for decades now. After the November landslide Trump will start his own party and the republicans will become a permanent minority party at the national level. Once the SCOTUS takes down the voter repression laws in republican states then that will be that. The old angry white party will just slowly die off.

Laguna, the Clinton foundation is under investigation also. You can't deny Hillary somehow evaded an indictment with the servers issue. To say the least, she puplic ally lied to you and the world saying she do nothing wrong. Comey made it clear. Wreckless and compromised US security. And the 30,000 lost emails likely contained what?

Prejudice, hate and obstructionism......c-mon man, can you do better then that? More like disatisfaction and refusal to negotiate. History will show the damage Obama has done and I say it without hate or prejudice. His policies are not forward thinking. His efforts left the black communities worse off. And his passiveness watched ISIS grow into a global network. I do like the commitment Obama has for his family, that it though.

Yo, so does Hillary! ROFL

But Melania didn't mean to prepare a plagerized few sentences of her 10-15 minute speach. Kinda like Hillary had no ill intent in compromising the security of USA. I'll take Milania over Hillary any day of the week. Hillary is an angered woman. She also made claim her enemy is the Republicans. And she will work together with congress? She will accomplish what? Using her words, "it takes a village".

You can't deny Hillary somehow evaded an indictment with the servers issue.

Mark, she did not "somehow" evade indictment; she was not indicted for very specific reasons outlined in the FBI report submitted to the Attorney General and publicly commented on by the FBI director. You may not agree with the legal reasoning, but that is how the system works. A presidential nominee for a major American party whose supporters are baying so loudly for mobocracy that the candidate himself echoes the sentiments is dangerous and foolish and you should know this.

Well, way to set a new low GOP. No qualifications beyond a demonstrated aptitude for divorce and bankruptcy. It is clear that the GOP would rather burn the place down than elect someone they consider a "liberal".

Thankfully when it comes to November, we are going to hand him his behind in a landslide defeat for Trump.

And you neglected to mention the secret meeting Bill Clinton had with the the AG days before she concluded the outcome. Did Comey have a similar meeting that was not accidentally discovered just as Loretta Lynch had?

@Super, I replied earlier on your other post. Oh, I am an indipendant for over two decades. Back to the convention. It was a great honor Don Jr. Offered to toppling delegate count for his father standing with his siblings and giving an " I love you dad" plug in there. But maybe he is despised also like the rest of the Trumps from the MSM and the left.

Question should be, are the Dems seriously enthused by Hillary equally as they were for Obama.....I think we all know the answer.

You may not agree with the legal reasoning, but that is how the system works. A presidential nominee for a major American party whose supporters are baying so loudly for mobocracy that the candidate himself echoes the sentiments is dangerous and foolish and you should know this.

It wasn't the system, it was put bluntly a Bill Clinton putting the screws to Lynch saying, Trump under NO circumstances can be president. Anyone thinks the meeting between them was about the small talk of grandchildren is out of this stratosphere! She took herself out of giving her an indictment and laid it all on James Comey and he wasn't going to have any part of it. If Hillary were truly innocent, he would't have gone on that devastating tirade about her motives and character and labeled her as a fraud, violated the law and a lair and now it's up to the people to make the determination if she is to be trusted or not.

So what do you make of Obama copying Bush's speech? Or how about Michelle's?

Michelle Obama: “…the world as it should be.” In 2008, the aspiring First Lady was accused by bloggers of lifting lines for her DNC speech from Saul Alinsky. Alinsky wrote, in Rules for Radicals (emphasis added): “The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.” Michelle Obama said: “And Barack stood up that day, and he spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about ‘the world as it is‘ and ‘the world as it should be.'” (Perhaps Mr. Obama who left out the attribution.)

Does it makes sense when Democrats do it?

"Over a 40-year career as a lobbyist and political consultant, Manafort and his firms have advised, in no particular order, a business group tied to Ferdinand Marcos, the dictator of the Philippines; Viktor Yanukovych, the ousted Ukrainian president and ally of Vladimir Putin; and Lynden Pindling, the former Bahamian prime minister who was accused of ties to drug traffickers."

Libertarians are for a little too much freedom. Gary Johnson's plan for dealing with climate change is allowing the free market to handle it. That's a little too hands off and puts a bit too much faith in the people, but at least he believes in man-made climate change.

True progressives like Jill Stein are for more control (and yes more taxes), but still a lot of freedom. Not having to worry about things like student loans and healthcare can be very freeing for your wallet, and freed wallets help the economy more than massive hoarding by the 1%.

@bass this one cares about the people and the nation,

I'd appreciate it if you could point out some specific examples when Trump has shown he "cares about the 'people' and the nation".

Also, please define 'the people'. For some reason I get the sense when you use that word you're referring to WASP's who share your politics.

You know, I assume, there are roughly 330 million US Americans. Trump represents roughly .01% of them, and given his narcissistic nature I believe he only cares about himself and his family, including of course his ex-wives.

Okay, we saw Trumps oldest and youngest adult children speak tonight. They both did a fantastic job. So, all you anti- Trumpers, where is the family disfunction? Wouldn't it be inevitable to see estrangement with such an evil man as told to you by the msm? His children adore him. That speaks volumes on his alleged temperament.

Also, please define 'the people'. For some reason I get the sense when you use that word you're referring to WASP's who share your politics.

Uh-huh..be careful with that opinionated analogy. in 1980 Carter looked like he was going to beat Reagan and then, Reagan won in a landslide. Democrats were stunned then, they were stunned in 2010 and 2014 as well. Be careful for what you wish for.

Anyway, heads are gonna roll. Wonder whose.

Someone has a fairly clear idea:

"But Manafort’s longtime rival, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, took the opportunity to twist the knife in a television appearance on CNN Tuesday morning. “Whoever signed off with the final sign up he should be held accountable,” said Lewandowski."

"Lewandowski added: “I think if it was Paul Manafort, he’d do the right thing and resign. If he’s the last person who saw this happen and brought this on the candidate’s wife, I think he’d resign because I think that’s the type of person he would be.”"

Not a very auspicious start, is it. I mean, if they can't handle something as simple as a convention speech without attracting plagiarism accusations I dread to think what'll happen when there's a real problem.

Hopeless answer. The word for that is demagogue. It doesn't say anything about whether he cares for the country.

Yeah, now you liberals can understand a little of what that word really means, since we have been subjected to that for the last 8 years.

Trump will do us just fine as candidate, though. While he's a sign of a rather unhealthy political process, he's mainly going to damage the Republican party,

Already did that.

and take it to its third election defeat. Hey, good crowds though, eh?

Yeah, that's what a lot of people said in 1979 about Carter and Reagan and look how that turned out?

Always makes me smile (genuinely, i used to see myself as a libertarian till my late 20s) to read or hear ppl say ' i am a libertarian and will vote for such and such' considering libertarians for many decades were in essence against representation, elections, voting or any form of power. A libertarian US president is a nice oxymoron.

Have to say i know nothing about Gary Johnson but he sounds interesting and will def try to read more about him. In any case even a fake (or new) libertarian is prob better than Hillary or Trump.

I listened to Trump on the radio this morning and i thought he was particularly mediocre, even his natural energy & enthusiasm seem to have faded. Does he still believe in what he says? I never supported him but still expected better from him in terms of speaking ability.

Uh-huh, I never said that, he was awful, of course not. Quite the opposite I lived through the long gas lines and the hostage crisis and that stupid sweater he wore. Only I really wouldn't expect nothing less of an answer like that from most liberals.

But not as awful as Trump, who is not only the worst presidential candidate in living memory, and possibly in history, but a genuinely repugnant human being.

A lot of us feel the same about Hillary.

-10 ( +2 / -12 )

Ben Carson. Glad to see him! - the monotonous "Hillary for Jail" meme had played itself out: But how to one-up it? Ah: The Devil itself!

Let me tell you something about Saul Alinsky. He wrote a book called Rules for Radicals. On the dedication page, it acknowledges Lucifer, the original radical who gained his own kingdom. So are we willing to elect someone as president who has as their role model someone who acknowledges Lucifer?. ... The secular progressive agenda is antithetical to the principles of the founding of this nation, and if we continue to allow them to take God out of our lives, God will remove himself from us. We will not be blessed, and our nation will go down the tubes. And we will be responsible for that. We don’t want that to happen.

Trump's entire campaign has been like some junior high school clique fight about who likes whom and what is popular now, and it continues to the RNC convention. Person A doesn't like person B, but person C is important, so person A will attend to acknowledge person C without even mentioning (or, perhaps!, obliquely castigating person B), and it goes on like a mish-mash of playdough through the mixer until it comes out the color or excrement. And then Ben throws himself into the bloody mess.

So let's straighten out the players here: Alinsky, the subject of Clinton’s college thesis written in the 1960s, was a liberal community organizer who died in 1972. He mentioned Lucifer as an aside in one of his many books. Clinton + Alinsky = Lucifer worship = the demise of America. Got that?

Interestingly, few of the speakers so far have had anything good to say about Trump; instead, they bash Clinton. To put Ben's argument in perspective, Trump is better than Satan. You can agree or not, but at least it is an argument.

Now watch people's fear level rise out of the current gauge.

While many people in the US and some here commenting on JT engage in eye-gouging and threatening anyone critical of Trump with banishment, public service job-loss, discrimination, violence, war or just death, others combat it with satire and laughter.

So many people in countries around them cannot believe what is happening. Watching the rise of Trump and his loony plagiarist crowd, and failure for any constructive alternative to materialize, it is like watching the end of the world as we know it in slow motion.

It still blows my mind that a country with a pool of 300,000,000 plus people cannot come up with anyone to lead them better than sexagenarian Hillary and septuagenarian Trump through their prized democratic processes.

Another very interesting emotional exchange.

The "die is cast" as they say and the Republican Party must move on. The division within the party is still a problem not only for the GOP but for the entire nation.

The division was and still is primarily based upon "personality" and "personal interests" rather than substance. It is time for the GOP to come up with one or two meaningful and effective platforms that makes sense to the voters and push forward. Too many special interest and idealistic and divisive platform issues only will help to divide not only the GOP but also the entire nation and its voters.

I would suggest 1) the security of the nation and 2) the economy. Those two will include resolving racial, religious, immigration, policing, world wide terrorism, (which covers Benghazi and emails, borders, walls), etc. and the problems with energy, oil, gas, global warming, regulations, medical insurance, subsidies, special interests, etc. There is no need to get into too many special interest specifics that only "detract" and continue to divide the public. The voters can identify their own interests within the broad themes.

It will be nice if personalities and personal attacks will stop, but for sure they will continue. They are but a distraction, misinformation, misdirection, and overall meaningless rhetoric when compared to the true issues of what must be considered at the Federal levels. One such issue happens to be the selection of the members of the Supreme Court.

A Dictator like Trump should do just fine.

Do you understand what accumulation of power and fascism mean and what they look like? Their platforms always include as the first or second point controlling information in order " to make sure that only the truth is told to the people." Hillary is following in good steps. She recently announced “that in my first 30 days as President I will propose a constitutional amendment to change the 225-year-old First Amendment.”

WSJ: "The constitutional amendment Mrs. Clinton has in mind would have to rewrite James Madison. Dead white males may be out of progressive favor, but we suspect most Americans still trust Madison more than they do the boys at the Daily Kos."

Right now, the dictators look like Hillary Clinton and the democratic party.

I'm not sure if I have the answer for that, but I think part of the solution is in how we say things.

I think it can start by how we address things in places like these forums. Let's be better than the stupid and selfish politicians on both sides who are only in it for themselves and who have been playing us off of each other for too long.

I grew up in a family of Eisenhower Republicans. I think they would be absolutely appalled at the entire political situation today. I've only seen a little of what has been going on at the convention in Cleveland this week, but I will say I'm pretty sure my relatives are spinning in their graves at some of what has transpired. I will reserve judgment on the Democrats until after their convention, but to be honest, I'm not hopeful that any divide can be bridged at this point.

Hope in his next speech he doesn't plagiarize too much, like his wife! Although, to be fair, his usual moronic. "They love me... I love them!" really only partially draws from Barney the dinosaur.

"During a roundtable discussion regarding the uniformly white leadership of the Republican party, six-term congressman Steve King of Iowa declared that white people have contributed more to the advancement of human civilization than any other “sub-group of people”

I think Trump has shifted the paradigm so violently it is really difficult for the legion of GOP nutters to get a headline. This is a 'politician' who mocked a person with a disability on stage. Just before the last election, a delerious GOP headbanger started roaring insanities from his isolation ward about women being unable to conceive from rape. I'm not even sure that would cause too much of a ripple post-Trump.

But fear not. Have faith. Never underestimate GOP lawmakers. I'm predicting an outburst so enormously insane, so magnificent in its stupidity and so impossible in its ignorance people will scarcely believe but they will not be able to deny.

This won't be a honk or a quack moment. This will be biblical.

Glad to see someone caught and removed -- "It was tough growing up as a young black woman in South Chicago" -- from Melania Trump's speech.

In all my years, I have not witnessed a more sullen, low-key, unenthusiastic, political convention, and I've seen them all since 1968. Half-hearted would be almost over-stating it. A snooze-fest. If they haven't done so already, the RNC should really try to get the Grim Reaper (from the Bill & Ted movie) on the speaker's list. He could stand a chance of livening things up, and would solidify the GOP's new image as the party of Death.

Still, I've got to hand it to the schedulers: Right after Chris Christie's on-air, lynch-mob trial of Hillary Clinton, who do we get? -- TIFFANY! -- which would kind of be like following up Ozzie Osborne's bat-beheading with Mylie Cyrus. You can't make this stuff up.

I believe the voting process is to select that individual best suited for the country as a whole in relation to the world; social, economic, political, and otherwise.

Definitely personality plays a role, but one cannot "read" and "assume" or "presume" a person's character or ability to perform and carry out the duty of the President based just upon the campaign rhetoric or campaign "posturing". (History has shown that campaign rhetoric and performance is NOT necessarily what one can expect when that individual is in office. That has been proven by our current President and his "Agendas for Change".) That is the reason why there are resumes or past history of that individual's abilities and actions which help the voters to read behind the campaign rhetoric and performance. Campaigning is in politics, a "performance" to get the attention of the voters for the votes to get elected.

In Trumps case as a businessman, he has his past record and by his performance and his open and direct campaign style taking up issues indicated his ability to take action. (The question here is that of responsibility and accountability.)

In the case of Clinton as a politician and an attorney has her past record and by her performance and her indirect campaign style taking up issues indicated her ability to talk her way in and out of issues. (The question here is also that of responsibility and accountability.)

The two has entirely different ways of communicating their attitudes, skills and abilities as well as their intentions.

Obviously, Clinton has more data and experience in politics and government. Trump has much more experience and expertise in business administration , management and operations. That was made evident in the $ money spent by each campaign so far. The very fact that Trump was able to get the media to follow him instead of Clinton, even if controversial and not politically correct, shows his communication skills. In any operation skillful communication is needed to get the cooperation of people and to coordinate action to get things done. Otherwise, one uses money to "communicate" (speak) by "buying" cooperation and coordination.

Clinton has the backing of the rich, wealthy and the powerful, the idealists, and those who depend on the government. (Here the question is why are those depending on the government supporting Clinton who represent the wealthy and powerful?) Trump has the backing of those who work, the pragmatists, and some of the wealthy and powerful. (Here the question is why are the rich and powerful in Republican Party also oppose Trump?)

The question that face us now is which of the two will best serve not just our personal interests and personal values, but our entire nation now and into the future?

Trump vs. Clinton debate (quoted from another source):

Trump: “Oh this woman is so crooked, crooked Hillary, I call her crooked Hillary, because for years, she has been involved in so many crooked things, you folks have no idea. No idea. She’s not fit to be President, because she’s so crooked. Not only that, but she has bad judgment, she has bad judgment. She was the worst Secretary of State this country ever had. You look at Benghazi, you look at Iraq and Syria, you look at ISIS and radical Islam. And yes we need to call it radical Islam, because how can we defeat them if we don’t call them radical Islam. The whole world is falling apart, because she was a disaster. A complete disaster. And what about the emails, the scandal, the email scandal, what about the emails. She probably shouldn’t even be standing here with me right now, she should be in prison. What about the emails.”

Clinton: “Well I don’t need to stand here and listen to all these false accusations, coming from a guy who has repeatedly insulted and degraded women, minorities, Muslims, Latinos, immigrants. Somebody who has divided this country, and has even called me a murderer. We need solid steady leadership, we don’t need loose cannons, we don’t need bluster, we need a positive and inclusive message for how to move America, and that’s what I bring.”

Trump: “This woman is such a liar, she’s so crooked this woman. And what about the emails, and the scandal, what about the emails.”

Clinton: “Well again, I don’t need to stand here and listen to these false allegations, the FBI is in the middle of their investigation, and they will conclude that I did nothing wrong, I did nothing that previous Secretaries of State didn’t do, and this all amounts to a big pile of nothing. I can assure the American people, I have always worked for you, and for the best interests of the United States, and I want to keep America moving forward with a positive message, that’s what we need.”

Trump. “Because the system is rigged, it’s so rigged, you folks wouldn’t believe how rigged it is. And what about Benghazi, folks, what about Benghazi.”

Clinton: “Well we’ve been over this many years ago, I sat for 11 hours testifying to the-”

“Trump “What about Benghazi, Hillary. What about it, it was a complete disaster.”

Clinton: “I spent 11 hours testifying before the US Senate and Congress, and yes, it was a tragedy, and we have taken steps to make sure the systemic failures that resulted in that tragedy never happen again. But it’s time to move on, folks. We need to move forward, and move forward with a positive vision for America.”

Trump: “This woman has been responsible for the worst foreign policy decisions ever, ever. She has bad judgment. How can we trust her judgment. Look at Iraq, look at Libya, it’s just a disaster. We need to make America great again, and we don’t do it with her in charge, that I can tell you.”

Clinton: “America has never stopped being great, America was always great. What we need to do is make America whole again, and we won’t do that, with the bluster and rhetoric and bad ideas that you’ve put forward throughout this campaign. And the American people know that.”

Trump: “The American people know how corrupt you are, and how crooked you are, and they know you will never make America great again, that I can tell you.”

Clinton: “Well so far, every poll so far shows me leading, and-”

Trump: “That’s because it’s crooked, the whole system is rigged. It’s a crooked, rigged system, that I can tell you”

Clinton: “The only thing crooked and rigged, has been the disaster that is Trump University. And what about-”

Trump: “Don’t even go there Hillary, don’t even go there.”

Clinton: “And what about your book, the Art Of The Deal.”

Trump: “It’s the best selling business book of all time.”

Clinton: “It ends at chapter 11.”

Trump: “I have a great company, I’m worth a fortune, I’ve done so great, and have been such a success, and we’re going to do the same for America, that I can tell you.”

Clinton: “Well let’s hope you don’t lead America the way of Trump Steaks.”

Trump : “They were great steaks, they were such great steaks, it’s just people were too dumb and incompetent to realize it.”

Clinton: “Or your various Casinos. How can you lose money owning Casinos.”

Trump : “Because I’m a businessman, I’m going to try things, and most of my ventures have been a huge success, you even come to my resorts, so don’t sit there and lie, you crooked lying woman.”

Clinton: “Well I won’t be coming to them, and I’m not coming to your next wedding either, that I can tell you.”

Trump: “Well I’m not giving you any more money for your foundation, and I’m not going to play golf with you anymore either, that I can tell you.”

In 2012 it was the clown car with revolving leaders each more strange than the next. This time through the racist positions of the republican party found its man to lead them, straight out of the KKK scripting (Trumps Dad was involved in the KKK). So the clown car is gone but its replaced by the hate mobile. Lying indirectly as Fox news and others did to manipulate the weak is now replaced by outright lying and hatred of others. And the posters above are proud to be a part of this. They have nothing other than their hatred of people of color and of course of HRC. Beyond the hatred and racism there is nothing. No ideas, no patriotism, no sense of right or wrong, no better human characteristics. Just hate and fear. It really is quite sad that people have become their worse selves and somehow think that is OK as long as their leader is more racist than them and more awful. This is the Hitler phenomenon occurring on a smaller scale in the USA. Trump is the new mini Hitler.

It's interesting, zurcronium, that these so-called conservatives have found a way to temporarily deflect its outward expression by accusing those who point it out of trying to enforce "political correctness." (As if to say, "If it wasn't for political correctness, we would express hatred and bigotry MORE openly and not expect any repercussions. We want Trump to remove these shackles that have kept us in check.")

In Trump, we have a man who OPENLY mocked a person with a physical disability. What could prompt a supposed adult to behave that way, outside of a total lack of decency? The more important observation is how that lack of decency has found millions who excuse it and cheer for more.

Pukey - bit of a false alarm when it turned out portions of Donald Trump Jr's speech which were suspiciously similar to others' turned out to be so because his speechwriter, F.H. Buckley, had written all of them - and a writer cannot plagiarize himself. That's what you get when daddy pays for your speechwriter and the guy suspects based on previous dealing that, when he submits his bill, he'll meet with objections such as "Your verbs wereweak. Sad! We will not pay you for your verbs." Might as well recycle the sh** out of what you've got.

Ok. So I had some fun yesterday, but now the seriousness of matter needs to be addressed, even though I'd like to just go on mocking. Or, as Melania Trump would say:

"Yesterday. All my troubles seemed so far away. But now it looks as though they're here to stay."

Anyways, some thoughts:

First, the plagiarism did happen, and is a thing. "That he’s sloppy, erratic, in so many ways the opposite of the virtues he claims to embody. And, let’s not gloss over it, this is a depiction of a campaign—a campaign that nurtures white grievance and resentment—trying to profit off the work of a black woman, from an African American family that Trump and his supporters regularly belittle. The fact that the plagiarized text in question was about the value of hard work just makes matters worse."

Republican stonewalling and trying to change the subject to anything is only gonna play to the fanatic base, who are already in the bag. IOW: Trump ain't moving the needle.

In short: this is a political gaffe; as defined by not a meaningless mistake, but instead an egg-on-the-face, unforced stepping in it that, critically, reinforces a deal-breaking character flaw in a candidate. Think Rmoney and his 47% gaffe. It solidified the his unflattering image as a born with a silver spoon in his mouth, let-them-eat-cake, blood-sucking capitalist. Here, Trump comes off as a guy way in over his head. He's trying to re-invent the modern political campaign, and it looks like he's just wingin it. In a bad way.

Here's how he could have done it right:

The Donald is very well known as they guy who said "You're fired." That image, the Head Honcho, holding court and dispensing with underlings as he deems fit, is a winner for the authoritarian types. Y'know, the ones he praises as being "undereducated." The problem here with the Melania thing is no one seems to know who to hold responsible for the mix up. And its not, like, very hard to do a google search and prevent things like this. IOW: sloppy. And since no one seems to know who is responsible, The Donald cannot ride in on his white horse, point his finger and shout "You're FIRED!"

That would have been a masterful way to turn this to his advantage.

But he and his team don't get it. They think what worked for the primary -- attack, attack, attack -- will work in the general.

Which it won't. Because the Republican base does not represent the average American voter. The Republican base, as we've seen yesterday and two days ago, things Hillary is in League with Lucifer, and needs to be imprisoned.

Because they are, as we all know, insane.

Moreover, the Republican Party must be destroyed.

If some thought the potential for danger has subsided from Trump's rabid fans the danger has only begun.

A trend towards unstable and mentally disturbed proclamations are coming from 'Trump Land'.

The RNC Delegate from West Virginia provides an excellent example of how dangerous the mentally unbalanced can be once inspired by dictatorial styled mind control.

A real danger, read on . . .

"Folk, a United Airlines pilot and a Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, caused controversy with a tweet calling for Clinton to be publicly executed."

"On July 16, Folk wrote that Clinton "should be tried for treason, murder, and crimes against the US Constitution... then hung on the Mall in Washington, DC."

"His tweet, which has since been deleted, prompted United Airlines to suspend and investigate him. United Continental Holding Inc. tweeted Sunday that the company is "appalled by his threatening comments" and wrote that his tweet is not representative of it."
