Trump called for an ideological test for immigrants in a new policy speech, saying he would institute “extreme vetting” for visa applicants.
“We should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people,” Trump said at Youngstown State University in Ohio Monday. “In the Cold War we had an ideological screening test. The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. I call it extreme vetting. I call it extreme, extreme vetting,” he continued. “Our country has enough problems, we don’t need more.”
You may be surprised to hear this but I support the idea of "extreme vetting."
However rather than focus on immigrants coming to this country I would like to focus on Donald Trump.
First I would like to see those tax returns that he refuses to provide.
Then I want him to reveal ALL of this financial and personal ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia.
And thirdly I would like to see a current physical provided by a competent doctor, as well as an "extreme" drug screening, because let's face it Trump is clearly on something.
Don't believe me?
Take a look at these recent tweets.
"CLINTON REFUGEE PLAN COULD BRING IN 620,000 REFUGEES IN FIRST TERM AT LIFETIME COST OF OVER $400 BILLION." https://t.co/COZQNt6KVs— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 15, 2016
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 15, 2016That first tweet is the result of some strange Right Wing math applied to Clinton's stated desire to bring in 65,000 refugees, and the second tweet apparently means we are all supposed to think that a comparison of Hillary Clinton to Angela Merkel is an insult, even though Trump called her "probably the greatest leader in the world today" just last year.
Yeah I think instead of the regular pee test they should draw blood and really find out what chemicals are behind Trump's verbosity, mood swings, and orange skin color.
“I don’t have to make the case against her opponent, because every time he talks he makes the case against his own candidacy,” Obama said.

I wonder what kind of 'vetting' Melania Trump had to endure? Was she here on a work visa, a marriage visa, or here illegally?
ReplyDeleteOh, she's going to hold a press conference in two to three weeks or whatever he said. Like $arah's, "I'll get back to you." Uh huh.
DeleteStand by for the press conference. Vanky and Jared are in Croatia right now getting the facts together. It'll be really really vetted and great, it'll be so great you'll be bored with how great it is.
DeleteDid they take Daddy's plane, and is it inspected on return I wonder? How did Maleria's parents get into this country when her father is an active member of the Communist Party in his home town?
DeleteOn some radio show last week, Trump replied to the host's comment about Hillary's health that, nah, he'd not ask for health records because it "wouldn't be appropriate" (hah, like everything else he has said and demanded has been appropriate), and it was later said on cable news that Trump may have said that because he doesn't want to get into a health background show of records because he has something to hide. Not surprising.
ReplyDeleteBut the right wing asses out there keep talking as if Hillary has some kind of health issue. It's another of their conspiracies, and I think it's also tied to that these idiots can't accept that a woman is strong enough for the job. They've been dropping more and more code language comments for the past week, and today Trump clearly was dropping one in his speech when he said Hillary doesn't have the mental or physical stamina to be pres.
Like he can talk! He really does look like a walking heart attack. He is so fat and greasy and doughy and short of breath and turns red-faced in a heartbeat. If the elevator ever went out and he had to take the stairs, he very well might keel over.
I loved Hardball's ending thought today when Matthews brought up Trump's comment and said that there is a test for mental and physical stamina, and it's called the three debates this fall.
I think the right wing wants to bring back that head injury she got years ago.
DeleteYeah, Trump is hiding some medical condition. Whether it is high blood pressure, diabetes or he takes drugs, who knows?
Hillary could undermine him by having a thorough physical and releasing that too.
So Trump not only hasn't released his tax records but also no health records.
He won't do the debates either.
She is going to BURY him.
Seems to be the latest tactic. "Her health! Look at her!" Grasping at straws. Sad, if not so funny.
DeleteAgain, I ask, why have you gone silent, $arah? Grand kids at school (yes, we all know you did not birth Trig) and Olympics are not an excuse. You didn't give a crap about your family before; why now?
For someone that couldn't wait to sing-songy "get out there on the trail," why are you home? No one want you? Toxic?
As Arsenio Hall said, "things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm...."
The first debate seems so far away...
DeleteI recall they whipped Sarah Palin into... something, before her big debate- but she only had one debate, Joe Biden had to go easy on her because everyone already knew she was a fucking idiot, and she couldn't answer half the questions and instead just babbled some pronoun-free babble.
Trump is going to need a brain transplant- not gonna happen. I'm sure he has never debated in his life- certainly his performance art at the GOP debates was not debating and it certainly won't wash when the smart lady is in the room.
Joe Biden rocked that debate, even though her cult says to this day that she won. Nope, just be quiet and let her go off the rails just as she did. A nincompoop, pure and simple. I was watching; had no clue of who she was at the RNC unveiling, and thought to myself, "whose bright idea was this for VP?" between giggles.
DeleteWhy Hillary is careful. Why should she say anything when the blowhard is destroying himself by simply opening his mouth?
Trump is probably suffering from advanced syphilis ,it cause mental problems.
DeleteHarry Reid thinks Trump should take the same naturalization test that immigrants take to become U.S. citizens. Because we all know Trump would flunk.

I love Harry Reid.
DeleteGreat Harry Reid quote: “Immigrants make America great. Trump makes America small, petty and mean.”
DeleteOf course, makes good sense. Both candidates should be required to take the naturalization test. What a great show that would be!!
DeleteGreat Idea, numbnuts, Let's start with Melania the Plagiarizer. Why did her website go down? Why is some fugly broad selling her crap on HSN? She's shifty, that one. perhaps we should waterbaord her and send her back from where she came from and her anchor baby too.
ReplyDeleteThey Did "Extreme extreme" vetting, ever hear of Ellis Island?
I'm going to have a blast watching him melt down when he loses "hooooghly".
Trump reading from the teleprompter is hilarious. He actually turns his entire body from right to left. Also, he reads in such a monotone voice except when he goes off script and then you can tell he is lying when he prefaces it with "believe me" or he repeats the same thing over and over. Also what the hell is up with his hands when he is talking? A shame he won't let anyone help him speak better, but then he thinks he knows it all. Pitiful!
ReplyDeleteSad.
DeleteYou can always tell.
DeleteHe's like a spoiled brat being made to eat his Brussel sprouts.
He pouts and sulks. His voice goes flat and he has no animation. You know he's being forced to read something he didn't write, doesn't like and doesn't agree with.
There is no mistaking when he is improvising his own bullshit and when he is being forced to read Reince Priebus' bullshit.
Another Sarah in the making. Except he has yuugely classier connections and drugs.
ReplyDeleteDregs are dregs.
The bottom of the draw.
You'd think a yam who is so impressed with itself would be embarrassed that its fan base is pretty much white trash.
DeleteHave you heard the latest? Ivanka - you know, T.Rump's daughter and campaign adviser, is vacationing in Croatia with Wendi Deng - Rupert Murdoch's ex and PUTIN'S (reported new) GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteSince Trump doesn't believe in our Constitution (or at least the 1st amendment for starters) and is a racist and a bigot, does that mean we can kick him OUT of the country?
ReplyDeleteHe'd fail his own test. Well, he'd pass because he'd agree with everything. He thinks he's a great American, the best American, the most beautiful American there ever was. But we know different. He should fail his own test because he doesn't know the Constitution, has spoken out against specific rights in the Constitution and he is a bigot and a racist. By his own criteria, he shouldn't be allowed in the country.
Anyone can lie on a test.
He's also the smartest American. Believe him. Plus, he has the best memory and best vocabulary, and went to the best college. Oh, and knows more than soldiers and silly old generals do because he went to military boarding school and had to march up and down in uniform and learn how to salute.
DeleteOnly he can save us. Okay?
Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz finally debated her Democratic opponent Tim Canova yesterday.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediaite.com/tv/debbie-wasserman-schultz-confronted-over-dnc-emails-in-debate-with-dem-opponent/
She's denounced the e-mails.
DeleteNothing was illegal.
Damn, she sounds like like a Republican who got caught in the cookie jar.
And then didn't even mention how she was supposed to get Joe Biden to help the campaign and instead she got him to help her personally and send a greeting to her daughter on her Bat Mitzvah.
I hope Canova wins. We don't need the likes of Debbie Schultz in the Democratic leadership.
The 9 Stages Of A Trump Statement
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stages-of-a-trump-statement_us_57ae1c7be4b069e7e5053ea1?section=us_politics
1. Make an outrageous statement - "You're getting screwed! Folks, the American people are getting screwed and our leaders in Washington are doing nothing. I am going to shoot the bunny. Bigly."
Delete2. Surrogates deny that he said it, offer lame reinterpretations. - "In a statement, vice presidential candidate Mike Pence clarified, 'What Mr. Trump is simply saying is that in this election, we need people who are passionate about the bunny dying to stand up and make their voices heard.'"
3. Republican leaders denounce statement, further 'distance' themselves. - "A harried Paul Ryan mostly sidestepped the issue with reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday saying, 'The important thing is that we are working to enact our agenda for the American people,' adding, 'The simple fact is that the bunny would be much worse off with Clinton as president.'"
4. Blame media for reporting it. - Tweet from @realdonaldtrump: "Lying media won't tell the truth about what I said about the bunny. No trust!"
5. Admit saying it (to Sean Hannity). - "Sean, I've been saying this all along. We don't win anymore. I'll shoot that bunny and it will be tremendous."
6. Hugh Hewitt tries to launder the remark. - "Look, I understand what you meant when you said you would shoot the bunny. What you mean is --" "In the face, Hugh, I'm gonna shoot the bunny right in the face."
7. Say it's a joke. - "Come on. Shoot a bunny? Come on."
8. Ultimately claim it will help him in the polls.- "People are talking about me shooting the bunny, Wolf. Really, this has been very good for me."
9. Repeat. - "Folks, THE PUPPY MUST DIE!"
If someone tried to shoot one of the bunnies living in our yard, the poor bunny (who is quite small) would be blown to bits. And why shoot him? He does no harm, eats weeds, and is very sweet. How Trumpish to want to shoot a bunny.

Biden said something to that effect in his speech today. I had walked out of the room so barely caught things. It seemed like he was saying that someone is with him at all times with that info in case anything should happen to the pres and Biden needs to take over.

ReplyDeleteDrug.
Test.
Now.
This is Donald Trump doing the Sarah Palin dance:
ReplyDeleteonly knows one trick so, in desperation, has to do that one trick harder and harder.
Take Sarah Palin for example: her act was to be mean and snotty so she's forced to just keep getting meaner and snottier - which drives people away - but she only has the one trick! So with no other talent, she has to just turn up the mean and snotty.
Same with Trump: his only choice is to double-down on the xenophobia and bigotry.
And he'll continue to do so which will cause his poll numbers to drop, so he'll have to double-down over and over in a desperation-spiral.
Just like Sarah Palin. (Sarah who?)
Neither of them know the meaning of W O R K!
DeleteSorry. Sarah IS mean and snotty. It is not an act. Read up on her early years.
DeleteIMO Palin and Trump are damaged people and were from childhood. The evil they speak and the hateful things they do show the REAL Trump and Palin. Anything "nice and normal" they try to impress us with is just he act they perform as sociopaths.

Op-ed: This lifelong Republican will be voting for Hillary Clinton
ReplyDelete...Some retired military flag officers, for whom I have high regard, contacted me about endorsing Hillary Clinton, which I've agreed to do. There's irony here, because 98 percent of them are either Republicans or unaffiliated voters. That they feel so strongly about this election says a lot.
We see this as a matter of high stakes when it comes to national security and which candidate has the temperament to make critical decisions about war and peace. Trump revels in being a bull in a china shop, but that mentality scares seasoned national security hands to death.

ReplyDeleteWhite Christian America is dying
The chart below reveals just how quickly the proportions of white, non-Hispanic Christians have declined across generations.
Robert P. Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), challenges us to grasp the profound political and cultural consequences of a new reality—that America is no longer a majority white Christian nation.
For most of our nation’s history, White Christian America (WCA)—the cultural and political edifice built primarily by white Protestant Christians—set the tone for our national policy and shaped American ideals. But especially since the 1990s, WCA has steadily lost influence, following declines within both its mainline and evangelical branches. Today, America is no longer demographically or culturally a majority white Christian nation.
Drawing on more than four decades of polling data, The End of White Christian America explains and analyzes the waning vitality of WCA. Jones argues that the visceral nature of today’s most heated issues—the vociferous arguments around same-sex marriage and religious liberty, the rise of the Tea Party following the election of our first black president, and stark disagreements between black and white Americans over the fairness of the criminal justice system—can only be understood against the backdrop of white Christians’ anxieties as America’s racial and religious topography shifts around them.
In 2016 and beyond, the descendants of WCA will lack the political power they once had to set the terms of the nation’s debate over values and morals and to determine election outcomes. Looking ahead, Jones forecasts the ways that they might adjust to find their place in the new America—and the consequences for us all if they don’t.

Saw Trump on news again. On message again. God, he sounds even worst on teleprompter. They must have given him some meds or something. He'll escape from them again in a day or two. But the message he was reading was something about not accepting bigots, racism, you know things that he and his fans are guilty of. So tired of Trump and his rants. Imagine that for four years.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that he was on meds is because his handlers are out of town. The boys are supposed to be in Alaska killing animals. Ivanka, Jared and Ivanka's good friend, Wendy Deng are enjoying a nice vacation in Croatia. Wendy used to be married to Rupert Murdoch, but now she is supposed to be Putin's girl friend. Put that together with Manafort, and I have to wonder about Putin pulling Trump's strings.
DeleteOT:"How Trump leapt from these facts all the way to a secret payoff meeting between Schneiderman and Obama is vintage Trump. It’s as if he took all the things that happened over a six-year period, compressed them into one day and poured them into an extremely implausible John Grisham novel.
