Such a despicable POS but so fitting he leads the GOP. I wonder how one rationalizes associating with such a racist and xenophobic cult. How does anyone who professes to be a "Christian" support the Grifter? Trump says some undocumented immigrants are ‘not people’ VANDALIA, Ohio — Former president Donald Trump ratcheted up his dehumanizing rhetoric against immigrants Saturday by saying that some who are accused of crimes are “not people.” “I don’t know if you call them people,” he said at a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/16/trump-immigrants-not-people/

Sure, vote for this psychopathic racist. We know what he is. And if you vote for him, we know what you are as well. There is no evidence for former President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that “the Congo” has emptied prisons to allow violent criminals to come to the US border as migrants – and the governments of both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the neighboring Republic of Congo say Trump’s assertions are entirely false. www.cnn.com/2024/03/16/politics/donald-trump-congo-release-prisoners-immigration/index.html

Even when I was a Republican, it made me a little uncomfortable. For some reason, I’m embarrassed to say, I didn’t realize it came from deep-seated racism. I don’t know how I didn’t see it. Now the racism isn’t just subtext, it’s in bolded and underlined 48 point font.

Watching Kristen Welker interview Sen. Bill Cassidy on Meet the Press. What a failure of a job as a journalist to ask tough questions in a manner that reflect the insanity of the MAGA GOP. She's trying to pin Cassidy down but fails.
She allows the MAGA GOPers to get away with classic false equivalence. "Republicans" are such lying hypocrites.

She's trying to pin Cassidy down but fails. She allows the MAGA GOPers to get away with classic false equivalence. "Republicans" are such lying hypocrites. If Hollywood was casting a 2020s news anchor, Kristin Welker fits the bill. Where TV anchors were once men who were grizzled veterans of radio or the Associated Press, usually from the Midwest or South, Welker grew up in a multi-ethnic family in the Philadelphia suburbs. She graduated from Harvard with a AB in history, and never went to J-school. She burnished her resume at WCAU, which was a feeder for NBC network talent, and was NBC's White House correspondent a year after joining the network. She is a likely candidate for the Nightly News chair when Lester Holt retires. All that said, her interviewing skills are horrid. She treats Meet the Press as a talk show and not its original purpose, a press conference of sorts with national leaders interacting with journalists. I'm not saying she is not a journalist--the days of Chet Huntley and Walter Cronkite are long gone. Her approach (and, frankly, that of Chuck Todd, another non-journalist host at MTP) lets guests skate through the show with no particular scrutiny. These shows conflate being objective with being fair, and these are not the same.

Sure, why not? The MAGA GOP is nothing but a racketeer influenced corrupt organization any way. Just double down on your corruption and stay on brand. Makes one wonder why one associates themselves with "Republicans." Former president Donald Trump is expected to enlist Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager he pardoned, as a campaign adviser later this year, according to four people familiar with the talks. The hiring of Manafort would likely revive discussion of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, which Mueller concluded was “sweeping and systemic.” Mueller also found that Manafort shared internal Trump campaign polling data with a longtime associate who the FBI assessed had ties to Russian intelligence. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/18/trump-manafort-2024-campaign/

MAGA GOP thugs. PHOENIX — As the board of supervisors for Arizona’s largest county abruptly ended a meeting late last month, a swarm of people rushed toward the dais, shouting that the members were illegitimate. The Maricopa County leaders made a beeline for a side door and were swiftly escorted out of the chamber by security guards, who called for backup from the sheriff’s office. After the meeting’s live-feed went dead, a member of the crowd yelled that a “revolution” was underway. “I’m here today to put you on public notice and to inform you that you are not our elected officials,” said Michelle Klann, co-founder of a pro-Trump group, from a podium she had commandeered. “This is an act of insurrection. Due to all the voter fraud, you have never been formally voted in.” “This was an organized, coordinated attack,” said one top county official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. “It was a dress rehearsal for the election.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/18/trump-maricopa-arizona-supervisors-election-denial/

So on-brand. Can't make this crap up.

Pence’s refusal to back Trump points to a larger problem Both of Donald Trump’s defense secretaries have warned in no uncertain terms about how dangerous he is, with one recently calling him a “threat to democracy.” One of his attorneys general has called the criminal evidence against him “damning” and warned that he would abuse his power. A chief of staff keeps confirming the ugliest anonymously sourced reports about him. And now his vice president has said he can’t possibly endorse him. Mike Pence’s announcement Friday that he would not endorse Trump is huge news, given that this was the man who served shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump for four years as his No. 2 — and often obsequiously so. Fewer than one-third of the more than 40 people who served in cabinet roles under Trump have publicly aligned with him during the 2024 campaign. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/18/pences-refusal-back-trump-points-larger-problem/

Former president Donald Trump again claimed that the Democratic Party “hates Israel,” and that Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats “hate” their religion, echoing previous attacks he’s made about Jewish Democrats. “I think they hate Israel,” Trump said of Democrats. He then said that Democrats “see a lot of votes” among Americans who oppose the Israel-Gaza war. The comments were in a lengthy interview with his former adviser Sebastian Gorka, a far-right agitator, posted online on Monday. “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” Trump added. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/18/donald-trump-jewish-voters/

Call me an elitist but only the dumb, ignorant cultists who may also be racists, fascist xenophobes and "Christian" nationalist support this Grifter. WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Donald Trump has launched his general election campaign not merely rewriting the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, but positioning the violent siege and its failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election as a cornerstone of his bid to return to the White House. At a weekend rally in Ohio, his first as the presumed Republican Party presidential nominee, Trump stood onstage, his hand raised in salute to the brim of his red MAGA hat, as a recorded chorus of prisoners in jail for their roles in the Jan. 6 attack sang the national anthem. apnews.com/article/donald-trump-jan-6-pardons-2024-campaign-2401ead35cb1402a7b289c2c99761373
