I get the impression you may be little out of touch with a good portion of America. There are a large number of people for whom “Johnny or Sally can’t go to college, no vacations, no steak but rather hamburger” is the BEFORE picture, not the AFTER. A quarter of households are <$25,000. Half are <$45,000.

Not to defend a Trumpette, but for accuracy’s sake, Ivanka isn’t vacationing with Putin’s girlfriend in Croatia. Son Eric however, did talk about all the Russian money flowing in to Trump businesses. While it all may be legal it certainly bears scrutiny by the press.

I got into an argument with a guy (race isn’t necessary in regards to ignorance) over the Central Park Five and Trump’s advocacy of bringing back the death penalty pertaining to that case. He swore that just because Trump advocated it doesn’t make him a racist.
I had to walk away from him twice.
They must use a hell of a lot of hairspray in that family!

MSNBC had a great chyron on Thursday night after Trump (to a virtually all white audience, of course) told African Americans that if they voted for him, then after he was in office he would be "amazing " for them, believe him.
The chyron person – cheeky but accurate – short-handed this to: “Trump: It would be amazing if African Americans voted for me.”

as mentioned by @professorpoopypants, he can’t stay on cue and neither can his advocates. He’s not really fooling anyone by pretending to be a ‘Rockefeller Republican’, because that’s not what his campaign is based on.
it shouldn’t.

Wow, the Trash Talking Queen is making a guest appearance!
Did you see the Aetna news the other day Sweet Pea? Looks like your Mr Wonderful’s legacy isn’t going to be what you hoped it would be. With the implosion of O’Care and the strong possibility of another recession just two-three qtrs down the road, it’s looking like HRC will be picking up after Obama.
Give white supremacists a chance.

The supporter is Darrell Scott and here’s that story.
By the way, I checked Scott’s claim. He got it from a circulating Breibart link that used a WAPO story to place birtherism on Clinton. These links say otherwise…

Mondodonny strikes again! Keep pandering to Omarosa, she really owes you.
It’s valid to challenge the economic performance of every administration. Clearly, compared to the Bush administration, this one is incalculably superior.
That said, your evaluation skips over the fact that Congress controls the budget, and shares a greater responsibility for economic performance. One can legitimately accuse President Obama for a “tepid” recovery package back in the day — though it worked — but the size of it was undercut by Congress.
You can also accuse the President of goofing up on the sequestration gambit, although it was Republicans who called his bluff, and continued an obviously destructive economic practice intentionally for their partisan benefit, not for any economic progress.

Excellent point.
I don’t remember the exact number, but an astonishing number of single-parent households — was it like 56%?
I love that lady! Joy Reid. Thanks for the link.

Depending on which source is grabbed first, sequestration is either an ‘all together now’ act or it can be blamed on the usual suspects.
Wow that segment was even more horrifying than I remembered. It started with Scott defending Trump against charges of housing discrimination, and Scott stating that he dealt with banks accused of discrimination that settled even though they did not discriminate. That’s quite a claim, a christian minister going on national television to defend banks. Jesus may have kicked the money lenders out of the temple, but they are friends of the Pastor so invite them IN to the temple!
Another thing that constantly irritates me about irrational rightwingers is how they try to bully and shout down anyone who disagrees with them, even the host that gave them an opportunity to make fools of themselves. Joy Reid was actually doing the guy a favor by first politely saying that his statement was factually incorrect and attempting to segue into a question to the other guest. But he doubles down, triples down, and just will not shut the fuck up, to the point where Reid had to cut to commercial. It’s not on that video, but I remember what happened after the commercial, the other guest was still on the show, but the Pastor was not, and the Republican woman gave Reid a look like WTF was that? I vaguely recall Reid trying to give the woman a quick shot at making her point, because Reid was asking her a question and segueing away from the deranged Hillary birther statement, when the Pastor tried to shout down everyone and took away her chance to speak.

Doesn’t he realize he’s polling in the top 99% with black voters right now?
