@Walter Hinteler,
Trump is so much like Ronald Reagan and Jesus.

What Rupert Murdoch has wrought
Quote:
JOE DIGENOVA (GUEST): We are in a civil war in this country. There's two standards of justice, one for Democrats one for Republicans. The press is all Democrat, all liberal, all progressive, all left - they hate Republicans, they hate Trump. So the suggestion that there's ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future in this country is over. It's not going to be. It's going to be total war. And as I say to my friends, I do two things - I vote and I buy guns.

Note this:
Quote:
After President Trump made racist attacks on left-wing Democrats, his supporters engaged in frantic historical revisionism. Trump was not calling his non-white targets foreign or denying their Americanness, they insisted. He merely noted that they may wish to emigrate given their deep ideological disagreement with the country’s institutions and political character. “His message is simple: The U.S.A. is the greatest nation on Earth, but if people aren’t happy here they don’t have to stay,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham calmly explained.

Wednesday night, Trump dispensed with that pretense. After a long and almost entirely dishonest attack on Ilhan Omar, his crowd began echoing Trump’s infamous words, chanting, “Send her back!”

Trump pauses to let the chant build before resuming his slander.

While most the the party apparatus is committed to the pretense that Trump was merely inviting left-wing America-haters to move to a more congenial place, Trump and his crowd are perfectly aware of what he meant. “Send her back” is not describing voluntary emigration.

Likewise the pretense that his targets were selected on the basis of ideology. (“Our opposition to our socialist colleagues isn’t because of their race, religion, or gender,” insists Liz Cheney, “It’s because their policies are dangerous, wrong, and would destroy America.”) Yet somehow, when Trump launched a long riff attacking Bernie Sanders for his socialist ambitions, insisting they would never be fulfilled, neither Trump nor his audience said anything about sending him to another country.

Because Trump does not give a flying **** about Sanders, because his time was up last time, and he came up sort....not just short but way short...and he then turned up to dim to figure out the lay of the land, compounding the problem of his inadequacies, .

Stop underestimating Trump, you embarrass yourself...by this point you were expected to wise up way more than you have managed!

His deep and strong connection with a huge chunk of the American people is constantly denied by people who as evidenced by how wrong they are can only be either imbeciles or liars.

Which one are you?

It is truly amazing indeed the number of brain dead racist supporters of Trump but hopefully they are far far from the majority of the nation.

The man had taken us back to the worst of the 1950s.

@blatham,
Audience capture and continued access to well-placed guests is what it’s all about, I guess.
I knew I was less of a fan when she did that show with the meaningless Trump tax return after hyping it as a blockbuster reveal for days.

@blatham,
I think he's appropriately named.

Quote:
Trump :

Verb. To break wind from the anus, to 'fart'. E.g."There's a disgusting smell in here. Has someone trumped?"

Noun. 1. An act of breaking wind. 2)The resulting smell of having broke wind from the anus, a 'fart'.

Now for the past year, thousands of parents in the UK are hearing the same question; "Why are they calling him President Fart?"

​ Since our last presidential election we've certainly had "an especially noisy fart" in the White House and he stinks to high heaven!

I think it's time for us to change our underwear!

Drumpf has YET to coin a juvenile nickname for, and come out and publicly try to ridicule, Kamala Harris.

Why is that?

I think audience capture is a fundamental aspect whether it is a political format or a Steve Martin comedy routine or a music performance or any Ted Talk or academic paper or what we do here. Of course, Roger Ailes would concur which points to the other fundamental, integrity, and that's where all the important differences sit.

Here I have to confess that I haven't turned on my TV and watched a full Maddow Show (or anything like it) for four years or so. I do now and again catch segments via her blog which I attend to mainly for Steve Benen's writing.

It's a good question. I suspect circumstances haven't led him there yet. But there may be an element of caution (his own or that of advisers) who might recognize that she has serious rhetorical teeth. Still, if she becomes the candidate, his cancerous and rotted personality will not be capable of restraint.

It would be nice if this could bring about some sort of reconciliation but I think it will just make things a lot murkier.

One of the world's earliest known mosques, built around 1,200 years ago, has been discovered by archaeologists in Israel's Negev Desert.

The remains, dating from the 7th or 8th century, were found in the Bedouin town of Rahat.

Israel's Antiquities Authority (IAA) says the mosque was unearthed during building work in the area.

It is the first known mosque from this period in the area, rivalling the age of those found in Mecca and Jerusalem, the IAA said.

Excavation directors Jon Seligman and Shahar Zur said the mosque would be "a rare discovery anywhere in the world".

Researchers believe the mosque's congregation were likely to have been local farmers.

The building was open-air, rectangular-shaped and had a "Mihrab" - or a prayer niche - facing south toward Mecca, Islam's holiest city.

"These features are evidence for the purpose for which this building was used, many hundred years ago," said Mr Seligman.

It is one of the first mosques constructed after the arrival of Islam in what is present-day Israel, when the Arabs conquered the then-Byzantine province in 636, according to Gideon Avni, an expert on early Islamic history.

"The discovery of the village and the mosque in its vicinity are a significant contribution to the study of the history of the country during this turbulent period," he said.
