Go Full Palin on Trump
I'm
telling you, I wonder how long it's going to be... Well, it's already
happening, even before today. But we do have a number of
Republicans -- Meg Whitman being the most famous and noteworthy
recently -- who are suggesting not only is it time to throw Trump
overboard and get rid of Trump, it's time to sidle up to Hillary
Clinton. But I'm telling you, there seem to be so many people on
our side that are deeply affected by what the media does.
They still believe that the only way we can ever win is to have a
nominee or a candidate for whatever election is up that the media
doesn't destroy. And, of course, I said, "Well, then if you get
that kind of nominee that the media doesn't want to destroy, they're
really not going to be
that good going to be part of the accepted
establishment." [Rush
Limbaugh]
Over
the years College Humor has morphed from being obsessed by
Lindsay Lohan and drunken frat parties to, viz, one that takes
it's cue from The Daily Show's leftist political humor. This recent
entry is a good example. Most*
of the quotes are accurate, and are the kind of truthful observations
that propelled Trump into taking the GOP nomination despite an all out
attempt by the GOPe to stop him. So this cute little attempt use
the Hildabeast to back-hand trump shows they view anything politically incorrect as dangerous thinking. I know.
*One panel quotes Trump
saying in the late '90s:
"I
have black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I
want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.
Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else."
Wikipedia have here listed just
about every meaningful Trump quote from the 1980s onward. This
quote is tagged DISPUTED. Trump responded:
He made up this quote. I've heard
the quote before, and it's nonsense... I've never said anything like
it, ever." – Meet
the Press (24
October, 1999) |

EXPANDING
Fusion,
the struggling millennial-centric news outlet, wrongly attributed a
racist quote to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on
Wednesday.
An article that was featured on the very top of Fusion's home page
described an application for a web browser that supposedly attached
real past quotes from Trump to mentions of his name found online. "To
be extra-clear: these are all real quotes that Donald Trump actually
said..." read the article, written by Patrick Hogan.
One
of those quotes said, "Laziness is a trait in blacks."
That line, however, is not directly from Trump. It is found in a 1991
tell-all by a former Trump employee, who alleges in his book that he
heard Trump say those words to a black accountant at a Trump-owned
establishment, according a 2011 article in the Huffington Post. [Full]
Since
Donald Trump’s reality TV bona fides have carried him near the top of
some early Republican polls, we’ll probably be reading about him for at
least a few more months. Which is annoying, given his penchant for
saying pompous, ignorant, racist, and sexist things in a never-ending
quest for attention.
Luckily, there’s a way to make reading about Donald Trump much, much
better. We wrote a custom extension for Google Chrome that adds a
ridiculous Donald Trump quote to every online mention of his name.
To be extra-clear: these are all real quotes that Donald Trump actually
said, such as:
“Laziness is a trait in blacks.”
“We need global warming.”
“Somebody’s doing the raping”
You can install the extension at the Chrome Web store by clicking here.
(Or just download the crx file if you’d prefer to install the extension
manually.) [FULL]

Let me put it this way. Trump is
a
successful businessman who runs his operations with a firm hand on the
tiller. He will not put up with liars or slackers, and in will
call a
spade a spade—(don't even)—
and is, I think, scrupulously honest. 50 years ago he'd be
played in
the movies by Jimmy Stewart or Gary Cooper, and directed by Frank
Capra. But, then, so could the vast majority of Americans.
That's why
I've been behind him from the get-go. This is our last chance.
Will I
be happy with his every presidential decision? Of course not;
only I
could meet that requirement.
