Senior Republican leaders, including House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, remained silent, as did vice presidential nominee Mike Pence.

Aiding and abetting. They are complicit.

Donald the Entertainer was just being sarcastic in his interview comments about Mrs. Ghazala Khan with George Stephanopolous. He is always sarcastic when he is funny and when he is serious.

After all his virtuous christian third wife Melaria the Stripper, the College Graduate and Naked Plagiarist is so beautiful – She is a Three maybe Four and is chatty and flirty like a pro.

This from a guy who criticized McCain as a loser because he was captured in VietNam.

Why is anyone surprised by this, or DT’s claim that of course he has sacrificed and that his sacrifices were no different than that of the Khans.

And yet his poll numbers stay steady as a significant challenge to Hillary.

Love that these two extraordinary private citizens are confronting the monster and may take him down by themselves.

If Trump had any friends at all, they would have grabbed him by the lapels and slammed him to a wall, and told him to get a damn grip, cut the shit, and at the very least ACT like the man he claims to be.

Alas, DJT has no friends.

Has ANY member of the Trump family served in the US armed forces?

Trump has succeeded where all others have failed.

He has silenced the conservative movement’s vast propaganda machine. Even it isn’t ginning up defenses for him.

As Leonard Pitts editorial (excellent read by the way) described trumpet, he’s evil!

No. No Trump/Drumpf has ever served in the military.

“Mr. Khan who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and say many other inaccurate things,” said Trump.

Amazing! This coming from the guy who just said that Mr. Khan’s wife was prevented from speaking because of her religion. This is what we call a teachable moment, a precious opportunity to allow the spark of insight to finally light in the dark cavern of Trump’s mind. Could this be possible? I don’t know–what does the latest literature say about the learning possibilities of severely brain damaged evil orangutans?

Yeah…but Trump was a very brave and great soldier in his own Vietnam…

…of not getting STDs while fucking around.

His polling numbers aren’t staying steady. He is dropping. We have two polls out already, Ispos which has her up 7 and RABA which has her up 15. Both have Trump considerably below 40%. Additionally, PPP hinted at their poll which will be out early this week, that its good news for Hillary and bad news for Trump…though not the 15 points that RABA posted.

Quite frankly, the post convention news cycle has been even more devastating for Trump than the convention was. So, the polls next week aren’t even what we should be looking at…its the ones the week after, assuming Trump doesn’t do something even more horrendous to try and get these stories off the front pages. Which, at this point, I freely admit is a big assumption.

Only Tim Kaine can give such a truthful statement such power.

If that picture of Trump is recent, you can see from the man’s face that he is seriously ill.

I recall reading about a famous joke told during the 1932 election, wherein President Herbert Hoover asks Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon for a nickel so he could call a friend. “Here’s a dime,” replied Mellon. “Call both of them.”

Every week you hear and see some comment and mouth-words coming from this imbecile and you think “Well, that’s the lowest he’s sunk, can’t get any worse” and then he opens his weird, anus-like piehole and out comes something even more stupid, vile and unbelievable. If this was back in the days when racism and idiocy was kept in check somewhat, he’d be finished. Any American citizen with half a brain would have said “That’s enough, I’m finished with this asshole”. But nooooooo… the imbeciles of the right wing are still supporting this loathsome being. Incredible.

As a New Yorker Trump has been around my whole life. He has always been a horse’s backside. This is nothing new. What’s new is that people who should know better are not speaking out against this ridiculous candidacy.
