I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

MarK Cuban Questions if Donald Trump is Really a Billionaire – Audio

Billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, is one of the many millions of sane people wondering what Donald Trump is really hiding. And Cuban is hitting on something with his new way of thinking – maybe Trump is not really a billionaire like he claims.

“I know what I’m good at, and I know what I’m not good at. I’m not so sure Donald knows what he’s not good at,” Cuban said on 77 WABC’s Bernie and Sid.

Cuban said Trump was good at putting his name on big buildings and licensing his name on hotels, but it isn’t clear how much money that has made him. “He’s good at that. Whether or not that’s made him a billionaire, I don’t know,” Cuban said. “He’s not transparent enough for us to actually know.”

Trump Backs Out of Debate With Sanders – #ChickenTrump is Trending

Yes, the Republican with the biggest mouth apparently shoved his foot deep down his throat when he agreed to debate Bernie Sanders earlier in the week. But on Friday, Trump realized how EUGE a mistake it would have been to get clocked in a debate by Bernie Sanders, and decided against making himself look more like a fool… as if that is even possible.

Donald Trump on Friday said it would be “inappropriate” to hold a debate with Bernie Sanders, throwing cold water on an idea that had captivated the political world in recent days.

“As much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders — and it would be an easy payday — I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be,” Trump said in a statement.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee added that it “seems inappropriate” to debate the “second place finisher.”
Trump had said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday night that he would be willing to debate Sanders if the proceeds would go to charity.

“Yes, I am,” Trump said. “How much is he going to pay me? If he paid a nice sum toward a charity, I’d love to do that.”

Trump added to the speculation throughout the week, telling reporters Thursday he would “love to debate Bernie.”

Police Shooting

Off Duty Cop Chased and Pinned Pedestrian for Crossing Street

The video below was posted on Facebook by Stephen Harlowe. It shows a man in a Boston Red Sox shirt, kneeling on another man and pushing the man’s head into the sidewalk.

What caused the red sox man to act this violent towards the other man?

The victim says he was crossing the street and in the crosswalk when the red sox man drove his car into the crosswalk, cutting him off and almost running him over. The victim said he hit the car with an umbrella and that’s when Mr. Red Sox stopped his car and chased after the man down the sidewalk, eventually capturing him and pinning him to the ground.

“I tapped his [vehicle’s] glass with my umbrella,” the man says.

“And you tackled him and shoved his head into the ground?” Harlowe asks the officer, repeatedly asking to see a badge.

As Mr. Stephen began recording the incident, Mr. Red Sox claimed he was an off duty police officer.

Asian Racism – Dirty Black Man Literally Washed Into Clean Asian Man – Video

Blatent racism is the only message one could get from this Qiaobi ad, as a black man is forced into a washing machine by an Asian woman and literally got the blackness washed off him.

The ad begins with the black man, full of paint stains on his shirt and face, catcalling a young Asian woman while she is doing her laundry.

After seductively calling the man over to her, the woman goes in for a kiss but instead feeds him a Qiaobi detergent pod.

Adding insult to injury, she then pushes him into a washing machine.

The woman then sits on the machine, while grunts of pain can be heard off-screen.

To her pleasant surprise, when the load of laundry is done, a young Asian man with a clean shirt climbs out of the machine.

President Obama – World Leaders are “rattled” by GOP’s Donald Trump

And I would add that not only are world leaders rattled by the circus sideshow that has now become the main attraction in the Republican party, but everyday, common-folk Americans are also rattled.

Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Japan, Mr Obama said Mr Trump had shown a cavalier and ignorant attitude towards world affairs.

Mr Obama said foreign leaders were surprised by his nomination.
There has so far been no response from the billionaire businessman.

“They are not sure how seriously to take some of his pronouncements, but they’re rattled by him – and for good reason, because a lot of the proposals that he’s made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude,” the president said.

“He only has] an interest in getting tweets and headlines instead of actually thinking through what it is that is required to keep America safe and secure and prosperous, and what’s required to keep the world on an even keel.”

Wife of Anti-Abortion Lawmaker Goes Public About Having an Abortion

And her husband, the anti-abortion lawmaker says he’s “extremely proud” of his wife’s courage.

Yes, they’re Republicans!

Stephanie Chatfield, the wife of anti-abortion Michigan state Rep. Lee Chatfield (R), is speaking out about her own experience with the procedure after receiving threats from people warning they’d expose her.

“Your desire to see this story go public emboldened me to do something that I should have done years ago,” Chatfield wrote in a Facebook post published last Friday. “And no matter the intentions of anybody wishing to see this story go public, this I am certain of: God meant it for good and will glorify Himself through this.”

The post was titled “Be Pro-Life—But offer help to women in need.”

Chatfield recounted her experience of being “taken advantage of” while intoxicated at a high school party and deciding to get an abortion after learning she was pregnant three weeks later. She called her choice “the worst of my life.”

“To tell you the truth, I desperately wish that I had the courage as a teenage girl to accept and welcome my child into this world,” Chatfield wrote. “I wish that I had the same amount of courage that it’s taking me to share my story now. But I didn’t, and I made a decision that I’ve thought about and regretted nearly every day since. It’s haunted me. It’s made me weep. It’s made it difficult to look in the mirror at times. I knew that what I did was wrong at the time, but I never imagined the weight and guilt that I would carry as a consequence.”

Chatfield’s husband, who is currently up for re-election, is a stalwart opponent of abortion who voted to defund Planned Parenthood for providing the procedure. In introducing his wife’s remarks, which were posted on his public Facebook page, Lee Chatfield said he was “extremely proud” of his wife for “her courage.”

Trump “Excited” That Americans Lost Homes in Housing Market Crash – Video

Donald Trump counseled Trump University students to take advantage of the housing bubble as an investment opportunity and said, just a year before it burst, that he was “excited” for it to end because of the money he’d make, NBCNews reports.

“People have been talking about the end of the cycle for 12 years, and I’m excited if it is,’ he told the Globe and Mail in March of 2007. “I’ve always made more money in bad markets than in good markets.”

At that time, the housing market was already beginning to decline, and just over a year later the subprime mortgage crisis hit, part of a chain reaction of events that led to the stock market crash of 2008 and cemented the Great Recession.

The subprime mortgage crisis alone caused millions of Americans to lose their homes, but that same Globe and Mail piece reports Trump was “advising investors that their are now great deals in buying subprime mortgages at a discount, and repossessed houses at low prices.”

Paul Ryan – A Trump Win is Unlikely if All These Conditions Are Not Met – Audio

The Republican Speaker of the House was interviewed by Politico’s Glenn Thrush, and gave a rather conditions-filled answer to a simple question.

“Do you think he can really win?”

“Yeah, sure, of course I do,” Ryan responded. “I’m not gonna — I’m not a betting man,” Ryan added when pressed if he would bet his own money on a Trump victory.

“I think if we get our party unified, and if we do the work we need to do to get ourselves at full strength, and if we offer the country a clear and compelling agenda that is inspiring, that is inclusive, that fixes problems, that is solutions-based and based on good principles, then, yes, I think we can win.”

The Speaker, who earlier this month met with Trump after saying he wasn’t yet ready to endorse the presumptive Republican nominee, indicated he will continue calling out the businessman, telling Politico, “I’ve done that in the past, and I will do that in future if need be, and I hope it’s not necessary.”

At least one Trump delegate wont be around for the Republican convention.

A Maryland delegate supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was charged Thursday with making and possessing child pornography as well as owning illegal weapons and transporting explosives, according to shocking court documents.

Caleb Andrew Bailey, a resident of a tiny Washington, D.C. suburb and a Maryland delegate for the presumptive Republican nominee, allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a minor and used the encounter to make child porn, federal authorities claimed in an indictment released Thursday.

The alleged conduct occurred between March 2015 and January 2016, the Justice Department said.

Bailey, 30, “knowingly attempted to and did employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, and coerce a minor to engage in any sexually explicit conduct … for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct, and the visual depiction had been produced using materials that had been mailed, shipped, and transported in interstate and foreign commerce,” the indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland, stated.

Bailey was also charged with illegal possession of a machine gun and illegally transporting explosives, including hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

A Dying Republican Apologized to Muslims on Behalf of His Party and Donald Trump

WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 22: Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee member Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) questions witnesses during a hearing on Capitol Hill October 22, 2009 in Washington, DC.

Hospitalized and on his death-bed, former Republican senator Bob Bennett issued an apology to Muslims for the overt hatred coming their way from Republicans and the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump.

Bob Bennet’s son Jim, recalled the final moments of his father’s life.

“So I was standing there with him in the hospital and out of nowhere he asked me, ‘Are there any Muslims in this hospital?'” Jim Bennett told NBC News Wednesday evening.

“I said, ‘Yes, dad, I’m sure there are.'” Jim said of the conversation, which was first reported by the Daily Beast. “And he was very emotional and said, ‘I want to go up to every single one of them and apologize, I want to go up to every single one of them and tell them how grateful I am that they are in this country and apologize on behalf of the Republican Party for Donald Trump.'”

Jim Bennett said that when he later spoke to his mother, Joyce Bennett, about the conversation, she told him that expressing a sense of inclusion for ostracized populations, especially Muslims, had become “something that he was doing quite a lot of in the last months of his life.”

John McCain Call Republicans “Bastards” for Choosing Donald Trump

And I totally agree with the Arizona senator. These Republicans are indeed bastards for putting their party before what’s best for the country.

In a recent interview with The Hugh Hewitt Show, McCain said that he cannot see a scenario where a third party candidate will be successful in challenging Donald Trump

“I just think that the people have spoken,” he said Wednesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.” “The fact is, the Republicans have spoken.

“Honestly, I just don’t see this scenario,” he told Hewitt. “I think you and I have heard about this ever since it appeared that Trump was going to win the nomination.

“I just don’t see it happening. One of the things that both parties have done over the years is pretty well set a system up that it’s almost impossible to challenge when the two parties have their candidates.”

McCain also shared an anecdote involving former Rep. Morris Udall (D-Ariz.) in describing his frustrations with democracy.

“I had a beloved friend named Congress Morris Udall, we called him ‘Mo’ and he was a Democrat, one of the most amusing guys that ever lived,” he said.

“He ran against Jimmy Carter for the nomination in 1976,” he said.

“After he had finally lost the last primary, … he said, ‘the people have spoken – the bastards.’ I kind of feel a bit like Mo Udall.”

When McCain ran for president in 2008 his slogan was “Country First.” But the decision by Republicans to let a xenophobe lead their party into the 2016 presidential election shows a sick and obvious allegiance their party over the continued progression of the United States.

Those “bastards!”

Woman Dies to Avoid Voting for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton

That’s not my take on it, that’s what her obituary said.

According to polls, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the two least liked presidential nominees in modern American history. In fact, you may have heard some of your friends say they’d rather die than vote for either one of them… and that’s exactly what one Virginia woman’s obituary is claiming she did.

An obituary published in The Richmond Times Dispatch on Tuesday states that “faced with the prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, Mary Anne Noland of Richmond chose, instead, to pass into the eternal love of God on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the age of 68.”

The obituary doesn’t say anything else about her political views and only notes that she was a “faithful child of God” who was “devoted her life to sharing the love she received from Christ with all whose lives she touched as a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend and nurse.”
