Donald Trump: perpetual victim.

Donald Trump has got the horse and cart thing turned sideways.

Remember how he said he believes that all Muslims should barred from coming to America?  Okay, okay, so now he says that was just a suggestion, but he didn’t preface it with “I would suggest …” He just said toss their butts out.

So, a Muslim gets elected as Mayor of London.  Sadiq Khan said that Trump’s view of Islam is “ignorant.”

The result?

“Let’s take an I.Q. test,” Trump said Monday, adding that Khan had never met him and “doesn’t know what I’m all about.”

“I think they’re very rude statements and frankly, tell him, I will remember those statements. They’re very nasty statements.”

Trump also ain’t fond of British Prime Minister David Cameron.  Cameron called Trump’s Muslim remarks as “stupid, divisive, and wrong.”

Asked about Cameron’s remarks, Trump said he didn’t care, but then added, “It looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship. Who knows, I hope to have a good relationship with him but it sounds like he’s not willing to address the problem either.”

He continued: “Number one, I’m not stupid, okay? I can tell you that right now. Just the opposite. Number two, in terms of divisive, I don’t think I’m a divisive person, I’m a unifier, unlike our president now, I’m a unifier.”

Oh dear Lord, they have changed the meaning of “unifier” when I wasn’t looking.

Thanks to John for the heads up.

Here’s how you know that shooting yourself in the foot is contagious.

This is an absolute honest to God true story but you won’t believe it because the big time media just totally  ignored it.  You can see part of it by clicking here.  But, you have to pay to see more, so I’ll make it easy for you.

Did you notice that the guy was a Marine General?  Hey, at least he didn’t shoot his friend in the face.  That’s a step in the right direction for the Bush administration!

Thanks to Vickie for the heads up.

I’m not saying that Donald Trump is responsible for this, but he sure didn’t help any at damn all.

A sorority in Alabama apologized on Friday for a T-shirt that it made depicting a racially offensive image of an African-American person eating a piece of watermelon.

Stacy Bruton, the international president of Alpha Delta Pi, issued a public apology and said the organization will investigate how its chapter at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama was able to commission the making of the T-shirt.

Okay, so here we are, where people in the dirty South think it’s really okay to put pictures of African Americans eating watermelon on a sorority shirt.

Yeah.

These women.

By the way, Samford is 81% white and 6% African American.

Now, here’s where we are with stuff like this.  The newspaper felt the need to include this:

African-Americans liking watermelon is considered a racial stereotype and is generally regarded as offensive.

Really?  “Generally?” Still?  Gee, that wasn’t repealed by the Republican congress?  You know, to avoid political correctness and speak your mind?

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

There is a saying that in politics Republicans want to fall in line and Democrats want to fall in love.

I have no idea who said it first but it is true, true, triple true.

Example.

Paul Ryan and Donald Trump issued a joint statement this morning.

“While we were honest about our few differences, we recognize that there are also many important areas of common ground,” Trump and Ryan said in a joint statement. “We will be having additional discussions, but remain confident there’s a great opportunity to unify our party and win this fall, and we are totally committed to working together to achieve that goal.”

Damn.  “Few” differences?  Really?  I suspect that the idea that Washington insiders are what is wrong with this country might be one.

Add this:

And Twitter went wild —

Hey, guess who is still alive?  And talking?

Former Vice President Dan Quayle is calling for the GOP to unite behind Donald Trump, even as prominent Republicans on past presidential tickets distance themselves from the party nominee.

“The party has to unite around him,” Quayle told CNN’s Jamie Gangel in an interview airing Thursday, predicting nevertheless that “holdouts” would remain. “But by and large, I think the party will rally around him.”

Yes, because the major question of the year was, “But who will Dan Quayle support?”

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
