Bill Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time, took a few moments to inform his audience of 25 things they didn’t know about Ted Cruz!
For example, did you know that the stick Ted Cruz shoves up his ass is called “Hank?” Or that when Ted Cruz looks into a mirror he does not see his reflection? Or that he spent his freshman year stuffed into a locker?
Ann Coulter is slowly beginning to realize that Donald Trump is nothing more than a cunning Republican politician, who has master the art of saying whatever is necessary to get votes. The loose-mouth Trump made a political name for himself and Republicans like Coulter fell in love with his 3rd grade mannerism – a trait they look for in their leader.
But the politician in Trump is looking forward to bigger things than the elementary level maneuvering necessary to win the Republican base. Trump wants more, and the mare basics would not appeal to this larger audience. So Trump is surrounding himself with party insiders, people who know the ropes, people who could help him navigate his way out of the muck Republicans wallow in, and into a more generally accepted mode.
Donald Trump is a politician, and he is changing, and the Republicans stuck in the muck cannot accept his change.
I wish Trump would go back to retweeting juvenile photos of Heidi Cruz. I hate the new Manafort & Black Trump.
Slowly, Ann Coulter and the other juveniles in the Republican party are beginning to realize that they have been fooled. Fooled by a 3rd grade Republican politician and his 3rd grade mannerism.
She is a registered Republican but has undocumented immigrants in her family. An anomaly, yes, I know. Everybody knows Republicans don’t have immigrants as part of their family, right? I mean, that’s just unheard of! But in this unheard of situation, the registered Republican anomaly needed to know what will happen to her family if Donald Trump becomes president.
…if Donald Trump becomes president… I shudder at the thought!
In a town hall meeting, the Republican anomaly explained that although she has a family member in the military protecting America, there are members of her family here illegally and they have been here for illegally for 25 years. What will happen to them if you are president? She wanted to know.
Trump answered;
They’ve been here how many years? We’re going to do something. For people that have been — look, we’re either going to have a country or we’re not going to have a country. But many people are very fine people. and I’m sure these are very, very fine people. They’re going to go, and we’re going to create a path where we can get them into this country legally, okay? But it has to be done legally.
“You will deport them first, right?” Asked the host.
“They’re going to go, and ” Trump said. “Then come back and come back legally.”
I cannot guarantee it, but I’m sure the registered Republican anomaly will vote for Donald Trump in the election. Republicans aren’t very bright.
“It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57,” the pop star’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, said in a statement. “There are no further details as to the cause of death at this time.”
The Carver County’s Sheriff’s Office had confirmed earlier that it was investigating a death at Prince’s Paisley Park complex in Minnesota. But the sheriff’s office didn’t release details about the identity of the person who died or the circumstances.
Prince — a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and arranger — “was widely acclaimed as one of the most inventive musicians of his era, drawing upon influences ranging from James Brown to the Beatles to Jimi Hendrix,” the Associated Press noted. Born Prince Rogers Nelson, the Minnesota native was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
A perfect example of why a certain segment of the Republican party love Donald Trump – because he say the things they think!
In case you haven’t heard, Harriet Tubman, an African American abolitionist who helped free slaves on the Underground Railroad, was recently chosen to be featured on the front of the $20 bill starting in 2020. Andrew Jackson, the current holder of that position, will be placed on the back of the bill.
This decision has obviously caused a raucous among those who cannot stand to see an African-American acknowledged for doing something good and apparently, Donald Trump, the new Republican leader, is one of these people.
I guess the $20 bill is too popular. They want her on a bill that is hardly in circulation.
“Andrew Jackson had a great history and I think it’s very rough when you take somebody off the bill,” Trump said during a town hall interview on NBC’s “Today” show.
“Andrew Jackson had a history of tremendous success for the country,” Trump added.
“I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic. I would love to leave Andrew Jackson and see if we can maybe come up with another denomination. Maybe we do a $2 bill,” Trump said Thursday.
“I don’t like seeing it. Yes, I think it’s pure political correctness,” he added.
“I would love to see another denomination … I think it would be more appropriate,” Trump said.
Now I must say that Donald Trump is not the originator of this idea, it was first said by another Republican and supporter of Donald Trump, Republican mastermind Ben Carson.
Thanks to the excellence of “New York Values,” Ted Cruz, the Canadian born Republican Senator for Texas, has absolutely no mathematical way of getting the 1237 delegates necessary to win the Republican nomination. His only hope now is for the Republican establishment to hand him the prize at a contested convention.
Cruz was shut out from winning any delegates in Tuesday’s New York primary, while Trump won at least 89 of the 95 delegates at stake and Kasich won three, according to the AP.
Cruz acknowledged Wednesday that a contested convention is his only path to the GOP nomination.
“We are headed to a contested convention at this point. Nobody is getting 1,237,” Cruz said in an interview with Philadelphia radio host Chris Stigall. “Donald is going to talk all the time about other folks not getting 1,237. He’s not getting there either. Neither of us are getting the 1,237.”
Are you shocked that billionaire, Donald Trump, went down to ground zero after the Twin Towers in New York came down on September 11th? Well, we all are. Campaigning in New York, Donald Trump decided to remind everyone that he “helped a little bit” in the rubble clean up at ground zero after the terrorist attacks on September 11th.
“Everyone who helped clear the rubble, and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit, but I want to tell you, those people were amazing, clearing the rubble, trying to find additional lives, you didn’t know what was going to come down on all of us, and they handled it,” Trump said.
Washington Post‘s Philip Bumpnoted that contemporaneous reporting indicated Trump certainly visiting Ground Zero after the attacks. New York Newsday wrote that the businessman appeared on the site two days afterward with “every hair in place and impeccably dressed in a black suit, pressed white shirt and red tie, walking into the plaza with his cellular phone to his ear.” This was the same day he gave this interview with a German TV station, where he was supportive of the search-and-rescue effort and optimistic about re-building, but made no reference to having personally helped out.
Elliott Williams, a 37 year old veteran who suffered with mental illness, was taken into custody in Tulsa County Oklahoma. He somehow suffered a broken neck while in custody and spent the last five days of his life in torment as his captors relentlessly taunted him and accused him of faking his injuries before he died.
At one point, jailers dumped Williams’s limp body into a shower and left him there for an hour. The dying inmate “would not stand up but we did give him a shower anyway,” a captain later testified, according to a sheriff’s office internal report.
Another officer saw Williams face down in the shower, screaming, “Help me!” according to the internal report.
In the days that followed, Williams’s father tried in vain to contact his son. He was denied visitation “because of Elliott’s condition.”
“He’s acting like he’s paralyzed, but we know he’s not,” a mental health worker told Williams’s dad, court papers allege.
Detention officers, nurses, and even a jail psychiatrist accused Williams of “faking” an illness. His family says they declined to administer medical care or transport Williams to a hospital—until it was too late.
Cops arrested the Army vet, who had a history of mental illness, at a Marriott hotel on Oct. 21, 2011. Hotel staff called the cops after Williams, who was with his parents, appeared to have a mental breakdown in the lobby. At the time, his only alleged crime was misdemeanor obstruction.
But he paid with his life.
“This guy went almost six days and never got taken to the hospital with a broken neck,” Daniel Smolen, an attorney for Williams’s family, told The Daily Beast. “They’re throwing food at him and making fun of him in the cell while he’s going through a horrific death. You wouldn’t do that to an animal or any living thing.”
Most of the horrors Williams endured in the jail were captured on the facility’s surveillance footage. The shocking video was released in 2013, two years after the Williams family filed a federal lawsuit against then-Sheriff Stanley Glanz.
The complaint also targeted employees of the private healthcare company contracted to operate the jail’s medical services. The firm, Correctional Healthcare Management, settled out of court two years ago, but the county didn’t. Smolen expects the Williams case to go to trial.
“It’s a slow, torturous death,” Smolen said, adding that Williams’s case is the worst civil rights violation he’s seen captured on film. “You’re cognizant of it the whole time. It’s like a nightmare.”
The Tulsa County sheriff’s office told The Daily Beast it would not comment on cases that are pending litigation and about to go to trial. But in one court filing for the Williams case, Sheriff Glanz’s attorney Corbin Brewster claimed, “Williams was surrounded by people in the jail who thought they were taking care of him.
“Despite medical staff’s incorrect diagnoses of Mr. Williams before his death, the undisputed evidence is that the medical professionals who examined and treated Mr. Williams sincerely believed he was faking paralysis,” Brewster wrote.
Soon, well be calling him the little engine that could. Bernie Sanders have reduced an almost insurmountable national Clinton leading to just 2 points in the latest national poll.
Bernie Sanders has narrowed in on Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton in the latest national poll of the race as the pair battle ahead of Tuesday’s primary in New York.
Clinton holds a 2-point edge nationally over Sanders, 50 to 48 percent, among Democratic primary voters surveyed in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll published Monday.
Clinton held a 9-point lead in the survey last month, besting the Independent Vermont senator, 53 to 44 percent. In January, she led by 25 points, 59 to 34 percent.
Roland Martin has had enough of Donald Trump and all his complaining about the election process and how the Republican’s version of democracy works, In an interview on Sunday on ABC’s This Week, Martin interrupted another panelist to make the point that Donald Trump is “unfit for being president” and should “shut up” and “stop complaining” about what Trump calls, “a rigged system.”
George, forgive me if I don’t have any sympathy for a real estate developer from New York complaining about a process. This is somebody who talks about ‘Oh, I know how to get things done’. Okay. The task to see if you can get something done as a president, is can you navigate a primary process, running for president.
Guess what! If you become president, you’re gonna be dealing with the same things in other countries. You’re gonna be dealing with the same things when it comes to business. So if you can’t handle this process, you’re unfit for being president! So shut up, stop complaining, have an organization, because they’re not gonna hand it to you, you have to earn it!
Donald Trump was once a Democrat. He now claims to be a staunch conservative Republican and get this, many in the Republican party believe Trump – a man who will say anything and adopt any position if it means an extra vote. He reminds me of Ted Cruz!
Trump, the former Democrat apparently surrounded himself with other Democrats. His special council admitted earlier that he is a Democrat and would not be voting for Trump in the primaries.
“No, I am not voting in the primary; I’m a registered Democrat,” Michael Cohen said on CNN’s “At This Hour,” adding that his inability to vote for Trump was limited to “the primaries.”
But Cohen is just a small piece of the Democratic puzzle surrounding Donald Trump. Two of Trump’s children — Ivanka, 34, and Eric, 32 — acknowledged this week that they didn’t register as Republicans in time to vote in Tuesday’s closed primary in New York, despite months of campaigning for their father.
