Trump is an Ass

Huffington Post- Washington Post Retracts Cartoon Depicting Ted Cruz's Daughters As Dancing Monkeys

Now children are being portrayed as monkeys:



Rough politics indeed.

One should go back to 19th century cartoons, and 19th century American politics in general. Much more vicious than it is now.

Straw people all over this thread. How bad Obama has been as a president and how bad a president Clinton would be does not change one iota the damage already done by Trump and the much worse damage that would occur the longer this goes on.

Trump is not an ass but despite what he says a clever politician. Political campaigns are marketing campaigns. People think marketing is marketing companies making up stuff and selling it. No, marketing is exploiting a real issue to sell something. Trumps marketing is exploiting the reality of scattershot immigration policy and political correctness run amok. The analyst at NBC news was complaining that pretty much everything Trump said would get him fired at most companies. That fact is exactly why he has the fervent and widespread support he does.

The frightining part for me is that the Trump supporters who think they are making a statement against political correctness are only going to make it worse. Although Trumps supporters represent a substantial minority the majority of the country has moved beyond or never was there when that his type of language and attitudes were common in the workplace back in the 1980's when I entered the workforce. The minorities will be the majority in a few decades. As a whole the bullying extreme fascistic version of political correctness is limited to some colleges at and internet bloggers at this point. As much as most voters dislike Hillary or Bernie I expect them to vote for them as the lesser of two evils over Trump or a party that is associated with his ideas. These politically correct fascists are going be gaining power in the political, business and media world. It will be much easier for them to implement their un American ideas of political dialogue in a one party system where conservatism or bieng a white male is automatically associated with prejudice, hate and scorn for the weak.

A war started on false pretenses and horribly mismanaged from the start. It was an order of magnitude worse than what happened in Libya.

I'm not a Hillary fan either, and I'll happily throw her under the bus as soon as anything sticks. Right now, it looks like a bunch of sad partisans making things mountains out every molehill they can get their hands on.

No matter how much faith we have in a presidential candidate to upset the status quo in Washington, they will face a nearly impossible task. You have to remember, they still have to work with a Congress of Dems and Pubs who are dangling on the strings of big business.

If more people got involved with political issues, we could force the career politicians in act in our best interest -- maybe! At the end of the day, they still require our votes to stay in power. But that's going to take a population of Americans who are informed and capable of critical thinking. Sadly, the general population has been so dumbed down that I doubt that will ever happen.

Or....they're too stuck in their own localized lives to give a damn about national politics.

It's amazing to me to see how much people's views on the facts are affected by ideology. I guess this is the result of the news sources being so polarized. Liberals get their news from liberal sources and conservatives get theirs from conservatives sources. We can't even seem to agree on basic facts. It makes debating rather difficult.

In Louisiana a while back David Duke ran for Governor against Edwin Edwards, who later did ten years Federal time.

The bumper sticker read, "Vote for the crook, it's important."

Vote for the Nationalist, it's important.

Yea Inventor, you really went off the deep end this time.

About time.

Just how many people in the history of the United States have moved from no elected office, to New York, and got elected US Senator? Who then were funded to run for President?

I hear Bernie holds duel Citizenship.

American politics is about lies, murder, money, media.

As Trump points out, The New York Times was bought for $5 billion, but with the death of newspapers is now worth $500 million. Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, just to lobby for not taxing Amazon.

Electronic media is following the fall of print, TV viewing is dropping fast. Those who could control the national dialog are failing, they have lost the ability to control public opinion.

The Public holds Congress and the President in very low regard.

The Security State, tapping all phones, reading all emails, searching travelers, treating the Citizens like prisoners, is not popular.

While the lives of Citizens are invaded, illegals are allowed free access to everything.

Next comes laws like leftist Europe, where those who object to being overrun by undocumented invaders can be put in jail.

The Left is out to extinguish the Light Of Liberty.

We have watered the Tree of Liberty with our blood, for hundreds of years, take care about what you think you are going to cut down.

As I recall, Bobby Kennedy's senatorial career began with an election in New York, despite not having been from there, and as far as I know, not having held previous elected office.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger has duel citizenship with Austria, but nobody raised a stink about that.
