It's on Fox News, (click) so it must be the truth, right? Mr. Trump has proved himself to be a bigot time and time again, but this is particularly blatant. I'd call for his impeachment, but I think it's easier to keep this guy under control, than it would be to control Pence. Pence is just as bigoted, but he seems to be so noble....
It is absolutely unbelievable that a President of the United States should speak like this.

And the hits just keep coming:

12 October 2018

It’s Happening Again In Georgia.

Republican Brian Kemp on Wednesday, in response to the latest accusation that he has blocked 53,000 Georgians from registering to vote, issued a statement that included one particularly noteworthy phrase.

“Despite what you hear or read, the numbers are clear. While outside agitators disparage this office and falsely attack us, we have kept our heads down and remained focused on ensuring secure, accessible, and fair elections for all voters,” Kemp said in a statement through his state office website.

“Brian Kemp refers to his critics as ‘outside agitators.’ You can’t make this stuff up!” tweeted Joseph Crespino, professor of 20th century U.S. history and chair of the history department at Emory University in Atlanta.

“There are only two scenarios here. Either this is just a term that is in the back of [Kemp’s] mind and he doesn’t think about it. That’s unfortunate because it means he’s ignorant — that Brian Kemp doesn’t understand the long history of this term and how it’s been used,” Crespino said. “I think, given the way Brian Kemp ran his campaign in the primaries, that he used it with every intention and that he knew the kind of way that term resonates.”

One of Georgia’s most famous white supremacists, the late Gov. Lester Maddox, often used the term “outside agitators” to dismiss those who protested his refusal to serve three African-American Georgia Tech students at his restaurant in Atlanta.

Absolutely - you CAN'T make this stuff up. The Republican party has devolved into the racist slime of the 1920's-1950's.

That's what they mean when the say they want to make AmeriKKKa great again.

And it seems to be working a treat.

Tom Paxton, 1964: "We Didn't Know"

We didn't know", said the congregation, signing a hymn in their church of white
The Press [fake news?] was full of lies about us, preacher told us we were right.
The outside agitators came, they burned some churches and put the blame
On decent southern people's names to set our Colored people aflame
And maybe some of our boys got hot and a couple of niggers and reds got shot
They should have stayed where they belonged! Preacher would have told us if we'd done wrong.


Tom, dammit, we need you now more than ever.

If there is ever to be a protest in DC again one will have to pay up to 400,000 dollars for police and clean up first. For a small group or single person protest they must stay on the sidewalk but the 20 ft sidewalks have been reduced to 4 ft on the Mall and around the White house. Trump is hoping no one can claim their first amendment rights are not being abridged. We will see when the arrests for not being on the official sidewalk begins.

The Puerto Rican offices of the mayor of San Juan (the outspoken critic of Trump) were raided on orders by Trump to get to the bottom of corruption.

Mossback, I think the very best thing we can do to Trump, is to make him look ridiculous. I think Alec Baldwin should get a Medal of Honor from the next President for Baldwin's service to the country in portraying Trump on Saturday Night Live.

I think that Congress is generally doing a pretty good job of not carrying out Trump's wishes. He got the tax cut and two Supreme Court appointments (the courts are a serious concern), but not much else.

One of my biggest concerns, is what Trump appointees are doing to dismantle the functions of most executive agencies. It's impossible to assess the amount of damage done in that way, but it's clear that damage is considerable.

Yes, Mossback. I can read, too - and I had read similar articles when I posted. I happen to disagree. The blame is Trump's. Warren never made a claim to membership in a tribe. She just said she had a small amount of Native American ancestry and Trump and you and others make a big deal of it.

I think she's a good possible candidate for the Democrats in 2020. And I think this "Pocahontas" thing is a non-issue, except to point out once again the abusive way that Trump addresses people other than himself and his minions who are temporarily in favor. His "Pocahontas" attacks are akin to his mocking attack on Christine Blasey Ford.

Your NY Times link is an opinion piece by Ross Douthat. I often respond to his articles with, "I doubt that...."

Attitudes have changed. In the 1930'a, my father's cousin married a Colorado woman who was almost certainly Native. Everybody did their best to hide it, and many in the family were cold to her.

Now Trump thinks that if a person claims Native blood, she's putting on airs.

Here's how Warren tells the story: "My daddy always said he fell head over heels in love with my mother the first time he saw her. But my daddy’s parents, the Herrings, were bitterly opposed to their marrying because my mother’s family, the Reeds, was part Native American. This sort of discrimination was common at the time. So when my momma was 19 and my daddy was 20, they eloped. And together they built a family, my three older brothers and me."

It's a nice family story, and Warren no doubt tells it to show she comes from a normal background with normal family problems. There's a story about the "schism" in my family because my Irish aunt's brother married an Italian, and my aunt wouldn't let her husband and children have anything to do us in the family who had contact with that Italian woman, who was a friend of my mother. So, I didn't see my cousins from the time I was two until I was 60 and my cousins broke their mother's taboo. Some people discriminate, but I prefer to associate with people who don't buy into discrimination. And it's nice to get to know my cousins after all those years of separation.

Warren didn't make a big deal about having an ancestor who was Native American - she just talked about it sometimes because it was a good, folksy story to tell. That is, until Trump came on the scene, and found a way to capitalize on the story by calling her "Pocahontas" - telling the story over and over again, even to a group of Navajo code talkers. And then, in another mocking speech, he offered a million-dollar donation to charity if Warren would take a DNA test to determine if she had any Native American ancestry.

There are some who are trying to say Warren insulted Native Americans by taking Trump up on his dare, but that's downright silly. Warren wasn't trying to claim membership in a tribe or collect tribal benefits or take advantage of minority status. Nothing like that at all. She was just trying to silence Trump and his insults, which were insulting to Warren, to women, and to Native Americans. As shown in his mocking comments about Christine Blasey Ford, Trump likes to insult women, and his "deplorable" followers eat it up.

So, don't put the blame on Senator Elizabeth Warren. Put the blame where it belongs - on Donald Trump, who is an embarrassment to the nation.

TRUMP IS THE COWARDLY LION !
He has the same colored long hair and the same cowardice always trying to cover up with bullying and a lie. The tragedy is there was no wizard in his life to give him a potion or a medal of courage except for dad's cash. He will forever seek the loyalty of those who might give him the appearance of courage, failing that he'll take the money.

The cowardly lion, as you recall, was not that smart and talked in a rather unsophisticated manner. In the book his buddy was the hungry tiger who was an obsequious Cohen figure.

Mossback, it's difficult to see what you're fishing for. Warren spoke to her base, who are sympathetic. Trump has the Democrats running in circles and those who aren't settled on a candidate for 2020 are the ones doing the criticizing.

Yes there was "tape" of Trump offering millions if someone came up with Obama's birth certificate, and yes there was tape of Trump challenging Warren, offering a donation if she could prove American Indian ancestry. Trump seems impervious to shame when people ask him to honor his offer on those challenges. But the news cycle runs so fast and memories so short, it will pass, and the only thing that is going to defeat Trump is a fatal coronary after all of the Big Macs he prefers. The sooner the better for all concerned.

I agree with Donuel:
Trumplestiltskin looked like an ash-blond the other night.

Oh, and on television I watched Caitlyn Jenner under moderate lighting.
Oh dear oh dear.
The makeup was better suited to darkness with brilliant lights,
not lighting that approximates daytime.
In fact the makeup contours went in one direction,
and the bone contours under the skin went in quite another,
and you could see both overlapping ... it looked amateurish.

Anyway, the 2018 election.
Massachusetts Senatorial incumbent Elizabeth Warren has easily
won herself a second term,
so she is still there for Trumplestiltskin to take aim at.

Driving the car, I had NPR Public Radio on, covering the early results.
And remarking on Trumplestiltskin.
The Washington Post was quoted at length,
to the effect that the candidates' speeches are issue-focused,
while Trumple is so different in his emphases ...
no, I gotta be careful here. I almost put words in someone's mouth.

So, my words:
Trump's speeches of late have sounded like he comes
from another ... world.

The pressman just wanted his question answered and Trump was determined to do his job. Then he said the reporter didn't deserve to be employed by his employer! Now the reporter's White House press pass has been withdrawn. It's a pretty chilling sign when a president only wants men who agree with him around. As the sinister demagogue Caesar says in Shakespeare's play:

Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
