Rep. Andre Carson, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, denounced Trump’s comments, saying, “Today, Donald Trump once again proved he lacks the judgement to serve as Commander in Chief of this great nation. It is unbelievable that a candidate for President of the United States has made such an asinine comment.”
Carson’s office said the Congressman received the death threat and it was immediately forwarded on to Capitol Police.
Wow! That is a strong statement from Lindsey Graham regarding his fellow Republican.
My question is, if Trump is a “race-bating, xenophobic religious bigot” as Graham calls him, then is Graham calling the thousands of Republicans at Trump’s rallys racists and xenophobic, and religious bigots too? We all know they are, but hearing another Republican call them out is something to take note of. Is Graham is calling these people – the same people who wholeheartedly endorse Trump’s crazy positions – is Graham calling them racists too?
In a segment of the interview, Graham admitted that he’d “rather lose without Donald Trump than try to win with him. I wish he would leave the party. I don’t care if he wins the 2016 election.” He continued to say that Trump’s presence in the race now goes beyond the 2016 election, and that “this is about the country of the future and our party.”
After that, the interview shifted to how Ted Cruz declined to rebuke Trump as strongly as others have by only saying it was “not [his] policy,” to which Graham said that Cruz had a “moral imperative” to blast Trump’s proposal, going beyond a debate on policy. Graham assumed this was part of Cruz’s supposed plan to wait for Trump and Ben Carson to fall so he can absorb their numbers into his campaign.
“This is not a policy debate, Ted,” Graham said. “This is about you and us and our character as a party. Up your game. Condemn it because it needs to be condemned.”
The world is watching as Republicans and Donald Trump plunge America into the abyss of ignorance.
Don’t believe me? Not only are sensible Americans trying to distance themselves from the Republican approved frontrunner, other nations are trying to ban Trump from coming to their shores.
An online petition calls on U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May to bar the Republican presidential frontrunner from entering the country for allegedly violating the nation’s hate-speech laws.
If it receives 100,000 signatures, the petition could be taken up for debate in the House of Commons, according to The Independent.
The petition launched by Scottish resident and longtime Trump critic Suzanne Kelly blasts Trump for “unrepentant hate speech and unacceptable behavior” that “foments racial, religious and nationalistic intolerance which should not be welcome in the U.K.”
It reads in part:
“The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. This same principle should apply to Donald J Trump. We cannot see how the United Kingdom can condone his entry to the country when many people have been barred for less.
If the United Kingdom is to continue applying the ‘unacceptable behavior’ criteria to those who wish to enter its borders, it must be fairly applied to the rich as well as poor, and the weak as well as powerful.”
Michele Fiore, Republican Assemblyman of the Fourth District, was talking to a radio station in Las Veges when the host asked why she didn’t sign the statement by other Republicans, refusing to allow Syrian refugees into their states. Michele Fiore seemed flabbergasted by the question and stated that she did not sign the statement because it didn’t go far enough.
And she came up with something she thought was the appropriate measure to stop the refugees – “shoot ’em in the head…”
“What–are you kidding me? I’m about to fly to Paris and shoot ‘em in the head myself! I am not OK with Syrian refugees. I’m not OK with terrorists. I’m OK with putting them down, blacking them out, just put a piece of brass in their ocular cavity and end their miserable life. I’m good with that.”
Don’t you just love the Republicans? These are the same folks claiming to be the protectors of the Constitution, yet the very thing the Constitution stands for, Republicans willfully ignore. Trump, who insists that he is a Christian, wants to enact a religious test for anyone coming to the United States and if they’re Muslims, they can forget coming here all together, and Michele Fiore wants to fly to Paris and do her own version of another terrorist attack on Syrian refugees!
I have never seen this brand of Christianity before.
Donald Trump resorted back to 3rd grade campaigning tonight when he went after Chris Christie because, according to Trump, Christie “hit me hard today!”
At a stump speech in South Carolina, Trump went into attack mode and focused in on New Jersey governor, Chris Christie. Earlier in the day, Christie spoke out against Trump’s call for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States.
In his stump speech, Trump took the opportunity to lash out against Christie, pointing out the crowd that Christie knew about the bridge closure, because he had breakfast with the people who shut down the bridge everyday. Trump also hit Christie on the fact that under his governorship, New Jersey saw 9 downgrades in its ratings, and lastly, Trump hit Christie for being close to President Obama during the President’s hurricane Sandy visit to New Jersey.

Fox News. It’s where they get their “news.” Here’s an example.
The day after President Obama spoke from the Oval Office about terrorism and terrorist threats, we turned to Fox News for… news. Enter Fox’s Stacey Dash, and the news she wants you to know about the president’s speech.
“It’s ridiculous,” Stacey Dash said. “His speech was an epic fail. It was like when you have to go to dinner with your parents, but you have a party to go to afterwards, that’s what it felt like.”
“I did not feel any better. I didn’t feel any passion from him,” Dash, a frequent Fox News contributor, went on. “I felt like he could give a shit – excuse me, like he could care less. He could care less.”
For all her troubles and her choice of words, Stacey got a 2 week suspension.

Donald Trump has done it again. Another statement that is sure to prop up his support among the Republicans.
In an unbelievable statement, Donald Trump said, “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.”
Trump says in a statement released by his campaign Monday that his proposal comes in response to the level of hatred among “large segments of the Muslim population” toward Americans.
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says Trump’s proposed ban would apply to “everybody,” including Muslims seeking immigration visas as well as tourists seeking to enter the country.
ABC was able to get this photo of the couple who murdered 14 people in San Bernardino. In the photo, Syed Farook is seen bringing his fiance, Tashfeen Malik, through a Chicago airport in 2014.
The Donald Trump saga continues with yet another statement that Republicans will undoubtedly love – Donald Trump is promising that in his administration, not only will he go after known lawbreakers and terrorists, he will also go after the innocent, the wives and family members of the terrorists, because according to Trump, those wives and family members of known terrorists “know what’s happening.”
On CBS’ Face The Nation, Trump explained why targeting people simply because of who they know makes sense. “At least I would certainly go after the wives who absolutely knew it was happening, and I guess your definition of what I’d do, I’m going to leave that to your imagination.”
Trump also said that he didn’t believe the sister of the San Bernandino terrorist. In recent interviews the sister of Syed Farook, Saira Khan, condemned the terrorist attack her brother and his wife carried out in San Bernardino, and she said the rest of the family had no idea what they planned on doing. Trump however, doubted her statement because, she is family and obviously had to know something.
“I probably don’t believe the sister,” Trump said. “I would go after a lot of people and find out whether or not they knew. I’d be able to find out. Cause I don’t believe the sister.”

Donald Trump was recently awarded more love and respect in the Republican party when he made fun of a disabled reporter last month. This love and respect manifested itself in HUGE poll numbers for the Republicans’ beloved, as he now leads his closest Republican contender for the GOP nomination by 20 points.
Well now, the tables have turned and Donald Trump is getting a piece of his own medicine from disabled Americans.
“Not only did I write a book entitled Crippled America,” one man in the video said in his best Donald Trump imitation and referring to Trump’s new book, “but I also make fun of crippled Americans. And I’ll sign either one.”
And if I were to bet, I’m sure these disabled Americans will not get the same love and respect from the Republican party.

It’s as if he couldn’t wait to get back to business as usual, and the terrorist attack in San Bernardino was taking him off his game. So right after the shooting, Ted Cruz made sure to remind his faithful followers to come out to his gun supporting event and to show their love for guns!
“Fourteen people just lost their lives in a shooting, and Ted Cruz’s first thought is, ‘Oh, that reminds me, gotta send out my invites to my gun party,’” Trevor Noah said on “The Daily Show”. “Yeah, that seems like something you’d only do if you were an asshole.”
Later on in his piece after a continued barrage of slams on Cruz, Noah said this; “You know what, Ted Cruz reminds me of Pepe Le Pou, the skunk! Because you know, when he thinks he’s being charming, he’s just being even more creepy!”
That was followed by a video clip of Ted Cruz talking about how happy he was that he didn’t have “17 daughters,” and how easy it was for him to get “rubbers” for sex.
Noah summerized that maybe Ted Curz is the perfect leader for America, because he has shown both Democrats and Republicans that they do have at least one thing in common – their hate for Ted Cruz!

Little Emma Nowling just wanted to play soccer. But after practice on Thursday, her short life came to a tragic end, shot and killed by a family friend, a man who legally bought a gun in September and had a concealed carry license.
Emma Nowling and her mother, Sharon Watson, were shot after the little girl’s soccer practice session at the Taylor Sportsplex in Michigan. Watson is listed in serious but stable condition, while Nowling died Thursday night after suffering head injuries,MLive.com reports. Authorities describe the suspect, Timothy Nelson Obeshaw, as a family friend who had a concealed carry permit and a legally-purchased gun.
Police say a 9 mm pistol recovered from the shooting scene was registered to Obeshaw.
The man had recently been experiencing paranoia, thought someone was out to get him and believed someone was trying to control him through mind control, Taylor police Chief Mary Sclabassi told MLive.
“He thought someone was out to get him,” the chief told reporters at a Friday press conference. “Unfortunately, it appears as a result of his (instability) we now have a little girl who simply just wanted to go yesterday to play soccer, and never went home.”
Police said the girl’s mother is being treated and was informed her daughter has died.
Obeshaw had attended Nowling’s practice sessions in the past and on Thursday had a pleasant interaction with the child and her mother, but after the practice, had a confrontation at about 8 p.m. Witnesses saw him shoot into the vehicle then turn the gun on himself.
Obeshaw had no known criminal history. He had registered the gun under his own name in September.
“Of course, this is a tragic situation and the thought that maybe if the right person had the right information at the right time could have prevented this, of course it’s very frustrating,” Sclabassi said. “Clearly this was an individual who needed help. Clearly this is an individual who should not have been able to purchase a handgun just this past September.”
