Republicans Fooled Again – New Poll Has Donald Trump in Second Place – #Insanity

In case you didn’t know, Donald Trump is really not running for President. Yes, I know, he made an announcement stating that he is running, but believe me when I tell you that he isn’t. What Trump is doing now is something he has done multiple times in the past – fool Republicans into thinking that he is running so he can sell a book or gain more viewership for his television show or get more reservations in his hotels. It worked in the past, so chances are it will work again in Trump’s favor.

And the Republican voter simply cannot figure this out!

Take this new poll as an example. There are those out there who really believe Donald Trump is running for president! A new national poll has Donald Trump in second place to Jeb Bush. According to the poll by Suffolk University, Bush is sailing away with a grand old 15%. Trump is a distant second at 11%.

No other candidates are in double digits, with 8 percent for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, 7 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 6 percent for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, 5 percent for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and 4 percent each for businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

“Jeb Bush continues to lead, but Donald Trump has emerged as an anti-Jeb Bush alternative in New Hampshire,” said David Paleologos, the director of the Suffolk University poll. “Many of those who like Trump are voting for him, and although many more dislike him, the unfavorables are split up among many other candidates. It’s the politics of plurality.”

South Carolina Lawmaker Says Victims Responsible for Their Own Death – Video

In an interview with CNN, the Republican – yes, only a Republican would come up with such garbage to spew on television – said that the nine victims who welcomed their killer in their Church and then murdered by that killer as they held a Bible study, are to be blamed for their demise.

According to State Representative Bill Chumley, if the pastor or any of the other eight victims had a gun while studying the word of God and that pesky commandment that says, thou shall not kill, then one of them could have used their gun and blasted the killer’s remains all over the front pews.

Chumley believes that the victims were just sitting there patiently waiting for their chance to get shot, and he ponders, “Why didn’t somebody just do something?”

Sentenced to Death, Boston Marathon Bomber Breaks His Silence in Court

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had a few things to say in court today for the killing of three people and injuring another 264 back in 2013 when he and his brother set bombs along the path of the Boston Marathon.

“I am sorry for the lives that I’ve taken, for the suffering that I’ve caused you, and the damage that I’ve done,” he said Wednesday during his sentencing hearing.

“I pray to Allah to bestow his mercy on you,” Tsarnaev said prior to Judge George O’Toole imposing the death sentence. “I pray for your relief, for your healing, for your well-being, for your health.”

He added: “I ask Allah for mercy for me and for my brother,” Tamerlan.

And just in case there are still those out there wondering whether Tsarnaev really committed the crime, the confirmation came straight from the horse’s mouth: “I am guilty of [the bombings], along with my brother, if there is any lingering doubt.”

Ann Coulter – Nikki Haley “is an immigrant and does not understand America’s History” – Video

Today’s Republicans are not like yesterdays. Today’s Republicans think – among other things – that an American is someone born in the US of A (Ted Cruz is apparently the only exception), and that immigrants to this nation simply cannot understand what it truly means to be American. You can see that way of thinking in the way these Republicans act and you can hear it in the things they say.

Here is a perfect example. South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is a proud Republican (I don’t know why) and a pusher of everything Republican. But her name and the fact that she is of Indian decent have confused the Republican mouthpiece, Ann Coulter. Coulter appeared on Fox Business network and proclaimed that Haley, whose parents immigrated from India, cannot understand American history because, well, “she is an immigrant!”

“I’m appalled,” Coulter said, when talking about Haley’s decision to remove the confederate flag from certain locations in South Carolina, after the deaths of nine African-Americans at the hands of a racist. “I really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican. On the other hand, she is an immigrant and does not understand America’s history.”

It should be noted that Nikki Haley was actually born in South Carolina and the last time I checked, South Carolina was part of the United States. But today’s Republicans don’t let simple facts get in the way of their hate for everything immigrant and their love for propaganda.

You Betcha! Fox News Dumps Sarah Palin

I guess the novelty has worn off. It really says something about you as a person when Fox News… yes, Fox News, decides it wants nothing to do with you, and separates itself from you. I mean, how low can you go?

Fox News will not renew its contract with Sarah Palin, whose bombastic appearances have been a cable staple since the former Alaska governor’s failed run on John McCain’s ticket in the 2008 presidential election cycle. When asked for comment, a Fox News spokesperson confirmed the network had amicably parted ways with the governor on June 1.

EBay Will No Longer Sell Confederate Flag Merchandise

EBay follows in Walmart’s footsteps in banning a racist merchandise like the confederate flag from its site.

“We have decided to prohibit Confederate flags, and many items containing this image, because we believe it has become a contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism,” eBay spokesperson Johnna Hoff said in an email to CNN. “This decision is consistent with our long-standing policy that prohibits items that promote or glorify hatred, violence and racial intolerance.”

Hoff added that the company continually monitors and evaluates its 800 million products on its site to ensure that they are “consistent with our core purpose.”

Walmart to Stop Selling Products Showing Confederate Flag

CNN is reporting that Walmart has decided to stop selling merchandize promoting the logo of the confederate flag.

“We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer,” Walmart spokesman Brian Nick said. “We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment — whether in our stores or on our web site. We have a process in place to help lead us to the right decisions when it comes to the merchandise we sell. Still, at times, items make their way into our assortment improperly — this is one of those instances.”

The confederate flag, a symbol of racism and a favorite icon of white supremacy groups, has come under fire since Dylann Roof – one of its followers – went into a predominantly black Church in Charleston South Carolina and murdered nine people as they held a Bible study. South Carolina’s governor Nikki Haley has finally suggested removing the flag from certain government facilities in her state.

Rick Perry Calls Mass Shooting at Black Church in South Carolina an “Accident” – Video

And he is running for President of the United States!

“This is the M-O of this administration,” the Republican presidential candidate said in an interview with Newsmax. “Any time there is an accident like this — the president is clear, he doesn’t like for Americans to have guns and so he uses every opportunity, this being another one, to basically go parrot that message.”

The “accident” Perry was referring to is the intentional, calculated shooting of 9 black people in a South Carolina Church by a racist 21-year-old. The former Republican governor of Texas also chalked up the massacre to the need for more prescription drugs.

“Also, I think there is a real issue to be talked about,” Perry continued. “It seems to me, again without having all the details about this, that these individuals have been medicated and there may be a real issue in this country from the standpoint of these drugs and how they’re used.”

Dylann Roof’s White Supremacist Group Donated Thousands to Republican Candidates

The leader of a white supremacist group that apparently influenced Dylann Roof, the suspect in the killing of nine African-Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church last week, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns, including those of 2016 presidential contenders such as Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum and Rand Paul, the New York Times reports.

Mr. Cruz, a Texas senator, said Sunday night that he would be returning about $8,500 in donations that he had received from the Texas donor, Earl Holt III, who lists himself as president of the Council of Conservative Citizens.

“We just learned this evening that Mr. Holt had contributed to the campaign,” a spokesman for the Cruz campaign said in an email to The New York Times. “We will be immediately refunding all those donations.”

Mr. Paul’s campaign said it planned to send $2,250 received from Mr. Holt to a victims’ fund set up in the wake of the shooting.

“RandPAC is donating the funds to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund to assist the victims families,” said Sergio Gor, a spokesman for the campaign. Mr. Holt made four separate donations to the Paul campaign last year, records show. The campaign could not confirm the total received but said that all the money it identified from the white supremacist leader would be donated to the fund.

The Guardian first reported on Mr. Holt’s donations to the Republican contenders.

Karl Rove on Guns – “Repeal The 2nd Amendment” to Stop Gun Violence

Karl Rove, like many other Republicans, have been a staunch advocate for more guns. The idea these people always put forward in times of shootings and massacres, is the only solution to end gun violence is to have more guns on the streets. Well after the most recent shootings in South Carolina where 9 people died at the hands of a racist 21-year-old, Karl Rove appears to have had a change of heart.

Appearing on Fox News’, Rove was interviewed by Chris Wallace and was asked about the recent gun violence in South Carolina, and his response appeared to be a step away from his usual more guns is the answer stance, and a step towards more common sense gun policies.

WALLACE: How do we stop the violence?

What do you think?

ROVE: I wish I had an easy answer for that, but I don’t think there’s an easy answer

What do you think?

We saw an act of evil. Racist, bigoted evil, and to me the amazing thing is that it was met with grief and love. Think about how far we’ve come since 1963. The whole weight of the government throughout the South was to impede finding and holding and bringing to justice the men who perpetrated the [Birmingham] bombing.

What do you think?

And here, we saw an entire state, an entire community, an entire nation come together, grieving as one and united in the belief that this was an evil act, so we’ve come a long way.

What do you think?

Now maybe there’s some magic law that will keep us from having more of these. I mean basically the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to basically remove guns from society, and until somebody gets enough “oomph” to repeal the Second Amendment, that’s not going to happen.

The man who left the sole comment on Roof’s photo is Marcus Stanley, a 30-year-old who, according to his website, was also shot eight times in the past.
