Donald Trump warns of the Muslim Problem

The thing is, to a fair degree, "practicing" involves most of the panoply of normal education; reading for comprehension, various parts of numeracy, and most importantly, simply being used to taking written tests. If you are in a sub-culture within a broader society where this does not happen nearly to the same amount, then whatever intrinsic intelligence you may have, you are starting well back in the field...

The hypocritical bastards are still pouring it down their necks the minute they get to Bahrain, though.

Isn't that no shit? That causeway is always packed with cars filled with Saudis. Well, at least it was when I was there some twenty two years ago.

Been 15 years since I lived there, but my old expat brigade mates are still there. Apparently no change, Wednesday is still Drunk Puking Saudi night. I've seen them push back their chair, puke in the floor, and then continue drinking. Chivas Regal FTW. Scotch, hookers, weed, and blow, now that's what I call Wahhabi.

They need a trrrrst attack there on that night..

It works that way with life too.

Now we know the secret of Donald Trump’s success – sex appeal



Further adventures in prestige for presidential hopeful Donald Trump, who has announced his membership of perhaps the least exclusive gentleman’s club in his collection: Guys Who Reckon They Could Totally Have Slept With Princess Di. Though this establishment tends not to be listed in their Who’s Who entries, for a certain generation of big-hitting men it is somewhere to feel like you’ve made it (just not with Princess Di). Such are the badges of achievement: black Amex, private jet, story about how Diana would have given you one but for whatever reason, didn’t.

In comments made soon after the princess’s death in 1997, unearthed again this week, Trump told the US radio host Howard Stern not just that he would have, but that he could have. “Why do people think it’s egotistical of you to say you could have gotten with Lady Di?” wondered Stern, masterfully. “You could’ve gotten her, right? You could have nailed her?” “I think I could have,” agreed Trump.

Or, as Princess Di’s friend Selina Scott last year recalled of Trump’s serial flower-bombing of Diana, “It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her”. “He gives me the creeps,” Diana told Scott. Given the sensitivities, it is notable to find Trump speaking so unguardedly to Stern so soon after Diana’s death. Still, perhaps he drew strength from the knowledge that if he couldn’t have her, nor could anyone else now.

When will the first pro-Donald Trump murder happen?

The incidents are piling up. A Black Lives Matters protester was sucker-punched by a white bystander at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina. A young black woman was surrounded and shoved aggressively by a number of individuals at a rally in Louisville, Kentucky. A black protester was tackled, then punched and kicked by a group of men as he curled up on the ground in Birmingham, Alabama. Immigration activists were shoved and stripped of their signs by a crowd in Richmond, Virginia. A Latino protester was knocked down and kicked by a Trump supporter in Miami.

At a press conference on Friday morning Trump even seemed to encourage violence at his rallies. “We’ve had some violent people as protesters,” he said. “These are people that punch. These are violent people.” (No such videos have been found.) This adds to evidence piling up that the Trump campaign’s culture of violence extends all the way to the top.

He's a toxic douchebag, isn't he?

Also seems that the self-declated defender of free speech has been dog whistling his security to give certain journos a rough ride too.

I almost want him to win the presidency just to see what he actually does in the job. Unless that includes starting world war III.

A Donald Trump rally in Chicago had to be called off on Friday amid scenes of violence and chaos unparalleled in the recent history of American political campaigning.

The scrapping of the Republican frontrunner’s appearance due to what his campaign cited as “safety concerns” led to uproar and fights inside the University of Illinois Chicago Pavilion and in the streets outside.

Scuffles broke out between Trump supporters, protesters and police, and a number of arrests were made, including of at least one reporter. As the mayhem took hold, Trump was reduced to complaining about the situation on the air, telling MSNBC: “It’s sad when you can’t have a rally. Whatever happened to freedom of speech?”

...

After the postponement was announced a Trump campaign statement said: “Mr Trump just arrived in Chicago and after meeting with law enforcement has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight’s rally will be postponed to another date.

“Thank you very much for your attendance and please go in peace.”

Despite Trump’s statement that he had consulted law enforcement, the Chicago police department emphasised it had no involvement in the decision.

He might just be the one that avoids WWIII, not trying to antagonize Putin and accepting Assad in Syria might be the easiest and safest way of dealing with the ISIS / middle east nonsense.
