Well, Well, What Have We Here?
Donald Trump has repeatedly put this untrue and totally false and completely racist graphic on Twitter.
Little Green Footballs went to work to see if they could find where the hell Trump got that graphic. You see, the Crime Statistic Bureau in San Francisco doesn’t exist.
It took some major detective work, but here’s where Trump got it.
“We should have listened to the Austrian Chap with the little mustache.”
Yeah, that’s where Donald Trump got his graphic. It’s a source he trusts.
Here’s the real numbers from the FBI.
He’s so easily duped.
Thanks to Don A. and Deb for the first heads up.
After the first few assistants got fired for telling The Donald the truth, I expect the rest of them got the message…
1Ah, yes. @CheeseBrit. Now there’s a reliable source!
(Notice the use of ‘arse’ not ‘ass’ in the last line at the bottom. Definitely an expert on U.S. crime statistics.)
Oh, Donald…. heavy sigh.
2I’ve stopped being surprised at how debased Trump and the right wingers can be. Now I’m just plain scared and outraged. I know that they’re still in the minority but when I saw a niece of mine who voted for Obama posting Islamaphobic stuff on Facebook, I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
3Donald Trump may not be an expert on everything, but he knows how to delegate, and put the very best people (like the nonexistent Crime Statistics Bureau) on his team:
“I have the smartest people in the country lined up.”
4Not just easily duped. Willingly duped. Hearing what he wants to hear. Seeing what he wants to see. Believing whatever is most convenient given his prior mindset – truth be damned.
5but…..the damage has been done. These lies are in the public domain and will be believed by right wing nut jobs because it fits their narrative.
If someone posted this crap about Trump he would sue them immediately. Our side needs to hold Trump responsible. Wingnuts sure won’t.
6Repeat lies often enough and people believe them, especially if it’s what they want to believe. And especially if you tell them to hate and fear those scary “other” people over there– you know, blacks, immigrants, Muslims, Jews… and we know where that leads.
7He is as sicko as his postings and rantings……….so scary.
8A while ago, I read this quote attributed to Noam Chomsky, “The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.”
Apparently he was helping write the snacilbupeR script for the upcoming election. Of course this quote would have been true said at almost any election back to 1980 or so.
9So the emperor has new clothes, but nobody can tell him they’re invisible. He sees what he wants to see and views it as gospel, like those thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering on 9/11. There may have been thousands of jihadists cheering, but not in New Jersey.
10Poor T-Rump! Borrowing a graphics ‘artist’ from either Gnarly Failurina or Jason, the silly little punter from Bang ’em Young U, Chaffetz is never a good idea. As almost ran pRick would say, “OOPS.”
Micr, there has to be a totally appropriate jpg somewhere of Reince Priebus holding the snacilbupeR script.

11Trump is just taking the play book of Benito Mussolini and applying it to this country. Fascism pure and simple.
12@PKM
Soooo ACME products support the snacilbupeR eh? Shudda known.
13They called Reagan the Great Communicator and he did in fact communicate well whatever his handlers told him to say.
14Trump will go down in history as the Great Miscommunicator.
(Carson will be known for being incomprehensible).

15The tRUMP campaign:
FACTS??? We don’t need no stinkin’ facts.
16At least we now have a possible source for Ben Carson’s map of the U.S.
17After all, he said he got his military knowledge from movies and TV shows. Because of course Mr. Business Bigshot wasn’t going to submit himself to military discipline for even a moment. And he gets his “facts” from any source that matches his opinions…like this.
18Trump: 16-81-97 vs. FBI: 15-82-91. Kind of reaching a little here, don’t you think. I have enjoyed many posts, but please don’t get down in the weeds with the Klown Kar occupants. All but one or two will be gone in good time, and come Nov. 2016, they will be gone as well – maybe never to be heard from again.
19Just woke up thin layer of snow on the ground and lightly snowing.
A nice covering for all the hate spewed by rethuglicans.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

21Look again. The lists are not in the same order. The whites killed by blacks goes from 15% to 81% on the Nazi site. And of course the white on white rate is skewed by all the school shootings. Thank the NRA for those. I wonder what their chart would look like?
But were they black policemen?? @herm the peddling of unnecessary divisive lies via unvetted tripe is undesirable at best (and plain unacceptable to me) in a candidate for a position of public trust (see also: top three office holders in Texas, one under felony indictment). I swear, statistics is one of the dark arts. Dr Gates, a very fine man and stats prof, now deceased, warned us about how ERRORS in analysis get compounded; what he had to say about twisting data was abrupt and downright: lies, all of it. As for cheesebrit? Mindless knee jerk bigoted hatred makes me sad. There’s no combatting it and it makes the hater and everyone in his sphere of influence frightened and miserable. Abysmally sad, like a yawning chasm of unhappiness…
22Shouldn’t one of those setts of numbers add up to 100%
23@Wyatt Earl
24They do. Add up all the “whites killed by” and all the “blacks killed by” separately. They each add up to 100.
I guess this means Asians Native Americans, et al (and Hispanics if you don’t lump them in with the ‘white’ category, as I’m sure these right-wingers don’t) are never on either end of a killing involving a white or black person, hm?
