Dear Mr. Trump

Dear Mr. Trump,

Nasty women vote.

Sincerely,

P.S. You're fired!

Vile Anti Hillary "Trump Truck" Display Near State College, PA

Josh Rager -- a friend of my sister, Gina -- took the above photos this weekend. The display is located on Curtin Hollow Road by Route 150/North Eagle Valley Rd in Howard, PA. This would be between State College and Bald Eagle State Park in the center of the state.

If you look at the closeup of the photo below, that would be Hillary in a cage in prison stripes on the back of the truck and Trump on top with a machine gun. What is most disturbing, however, is the depiction of Hillary inside the truck. It's not that clear in the photograph, but it looks like Hillary with a plastic bag over her head and a noose around her neck. 

WTH? 

Someone thought it funny enough to give it its own Facebook page (though it looks like that page was made before the cage was added).

Googling "CHBP" found a plausible explanation for that acronym as "Curtin Hollow Border Patrol" which makes perfect sense in the paranoid, hate-filled world of far too many Trump supporters.

Even if Trump loses in November (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE), the mentality that is behind this display will still survive...

Braggadocious!

And, one more video:

Heavy Rotation

Yes, this is most certainly NSFW!

Congratulations, Hillary!

GOP Convention Day Four Theme: "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"

I'm here in Cleveland and I managed to get some video of the rehearsal for the last night of the GOP convention. Rehearsal? Right! I guess there have been so many missteps, they're leaving nothing to chance for the grand finale. Anyway, the rock group Queen has repeatedly requested that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump no longer use their song "We are the Champions" as his theme song, so the Trump campaign has gone in a different -- and some might say -- a more appropriate direction. From my iPhone:



Looks like the focus group of delegates are eating it up! Can't wait to see Trump enter to this!

They will also be revealing the new campaign poster:

I'd say another winner!

As per the program notes for the evening, directly after Trump gives his speech, Hillary Clinton -- having been tried in absentia and found guilty by potential Attorney General Chris Christie -- will be dragged into the Quicken Loans Arena where her head will be shaved and she'll be "shot for treason." 

What a show!

I'll be on KDKA Radio tonight with John McIntire in the 8pm Hour

For the dozen or so of you not watching the Penguins game tonight, I'll be on John's show again tonight talking, what else, politics (Hillary!).

And, this happened:

 

Making History

Hillary Clinton made history yesterday by becoming the first woman to become the presumptive nominee of a major party in the U.S. Hell, she's been making history all her life. Congratulations, Secretary Clinton!

And to think, it only took 96 years for this to happen after women won the right to vote and 227 years after the first presidential race.

Notes for the Haters: 1) Obama was declared the presumptive nominee in 2008 when he reached the magic number on June 3rd -- months before the convention -- which he was only able to do with the aid of superdelegates. He wasn't declared the presumptive nominee until after the last primary election only because it took him that long to clinch it.  2) Despite what Bernie Sanders has to say about superdelegates now, back in 2008 he endorsed Obama two days after Obama had clinched the nomination acknowledging that Obama was then the presumptive nominee.

$$$

Interesting that the two men still running to become president and preside over the American economy are both, essentially,  broke.

"Billionaire" Donald Trump has apparently informed the RNC that his campaign has no money to run ads until after the GOP's convention when he can access their cash. Bernie Sanders, who raised -- and spent -- more money than any of the other candidates, "bernt" through it all and had to fire hundreds of low paid staffers and now has insufficient cash to fully fund the TV ads he needs to run in California.

Lucky for Hillary that she somehow managed not to blow all her money on shoes (which must have been really hard being a woman and all).

 

Trump Announces Running Mate

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his longtime spokesperson, John Barron, as his running mate for the 2016 election at an early morning press conference. Barron said about Trump, “He’s a good guy, and he’s not going to hurt anybody." Barron further remarked that Trump was “doing well financially and he’s doing well in every other way.”

(Yes, I totally stole the premise of this joke from Bill Maher. So bite me.)

I'll be on KDKA Radio tonight with John McIntire around 8:15 PM

I'll be on John's show again tonight talking, what else, politics. Among other things, there's that despicable #DropOutHillary hashtag that's trending today that we can talk about and lots more. I mean, it's real now, right? Trump is the nominee?!?

Delegate Math Vs. Bernie Math

Some surely unsolicited advice

Dear Bernie, 

What you need to do now is to not drop out. Stay in until the end by all means. BUT, agree -- in exchange for more power in determining the platform and whatever else you can get -- to go back to expounding on the issues instead of attacking Hillary personally. 

I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but you started losing women voters when you started saying Hillary was "not qualified." Hillary won female voters in NY by a whopping 61% to 39% -- a 22% margin and far higher than in previous primaries. 

You want your issues to win? Then make it about that instead of about her.

Sincerely,

Me

Bye Bye Bernie!

He's going to get someone killed

Donald Trump speaking about a protester at one of his rallies via Raw Story:

“You know what I hate? There’s a guy, totally disruptive, throwing punches — we’re not allowed to punch back anymore,” Trump said. “In the old days, you know what they used to do with guys like that when they were in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.” 

“There’s a guy throwing punches, nasty as hell, screaming and everything else when we’re talking, and we’re talking out — we’re not allowed, the guards are very gentle with him, he’s walking, like, big high fives, smiling, laughing — I’d like to punch him in the face,” Trump added, as the crowd roared in approval. 

Security guards at the event later said the protester had not thrown any punches.
