Trump supporter David A. Clarke seems to be losing his shit. Update!

You guys remember this tweet right?

I wrote a whole post on it.

Now you may notice that tweet actually contains photographic evidence that Clarke is under investigation by the FBI.

Well not so fast there hombre, according to Clarke this is all "fake news" which he announced on Twitter in a rather.....let's say "colorful" fashion.

Oh yeah, that's a Trump supporter alright.

Well this was reported to Twitter since it seemed to foment violence against the media.

However Twitter decided to punt.

This was Clarke's response to that decision.
You know I think at this point it is reasonable to ask if any of Trump's supporters are NOT simply internet trolls that stepped out of the shadows?

Update: Here is at least one of the now deleted tweets.

 And here is a new one that has not yet been deleted.
Actually the hat does not drive me crazy so much as it makes me wonder if he has cowboy Underoos to go along with it?

FBI issues search warrant on David A. Clarke Jr's. email account over plane altercation.

Courtesy of The Daily Beast:  

The FBI investigated former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke over a January incident with a passenger on a plane, according to a recently unsealed search warrant first spotted by the Detroit News. Clarke, a vocal Trump surrogate, had a minor disagreement with fellow passenger Dan Black on a Milwaukee-bound plane. Clarke texted one of his officers, asking him to detain Black when the plane landed. "Just a field interview, no arrest unless he becomes an asshole with your guys," Clarke texted, according to the FBI affidavit. Six officers and two police dogs met Black at the plane's exit, Black wrote in an official complaint. The affidavit also reveals that Clarke emailed subordinates asking them to post "memes and messages" including one calling Black a "snowflake" on the official Milwaukee County Sheriff's Facebook page.

Jesus! What an asshole!

But then again what would you expect from a douchebag who dresses like this?

I will just leave this here. Update!

We shall know them by the company that they keep.

In her book Brazile also accused President Obama of having a "Titanic ego," and referred to the Clinton campaign as a "cult." 

When you become a darling of the Right, and they make up the largest audience for your book, you really have to evaluate your priorities as a self described progressive.

I'm just saying.

Update: Now complaining about the Clinton Campaign on Fox News.

I swear when I saw this yesterday I swore it had to be fake. But nope, it's not. Update!

Yeah, just look at her.

Who in their right mind would walk around wearing a ridiculous cowboy hat like that?

P.S. Just in case somebody teaches Clarke what irony is before this posts, here is a screenshot.

Update: And here comes the Twitler-in-Chief to pour more gasoline on this fire.
The only thing that is getting killed here is the credibility of this president and his White House.

White House Chief of Staff blocks Trump from making yet another really bad hiring decision.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:  

Sheriff David A. Clarke just lost out on yet another Trump administration job—and he has the president’s chief of staff to thank. 

Officials in the West Wing tell The Daily Beast that Clarke had been in consideration for a White House post over the past seven weeks. But on Tuesday, the controversial former Milwaukee County lawman signed on with an outside group instead. He will serve as a spokesman and “senior adviser” for the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action. 

Four sources working in and close to the Trump White House said his failure to land a gig in the West Wing or at the Department of Homeland Security, where Clarke unsuccessfully sought a job earlier this year, was in large part the result of opposition from White House chief of staff John Kelly. Kelly led DHS until late July. 

Though Clarke had been discussed for a possible White House communications or outreach role, Kelly’s position as chief of staff made the arrangement a “non-starter,” as one senior White House official put it. Earlier this year, while serving as DHS Secretary, Kelly had informed Clarke that an appointment to that department would not happen in part due to scandal surrounding the treatment of inmates in Clarke’s jail, and the ensuing negative media attention. According to two sources familiar with the discussions, this led to Clarke formally “rescinding” his intention to join the Trump administration in mid-June.

Damn, Kelly is keeping a tight lid on the White House to keep the cockroaches out.

Clarke is essentially Joe Apraio in blackface, and he would have brought all kinds of unwanted baggage into the White House with him.

Clarke is from the Steve Bannon/Michael Flynn school of outrageous conspiracy theories and has some real doozies of his own that are part of the permanent record.

One has to wonder just how crazy the flood of White House appointees will be once John Kelly tells Trump "no" just one too many times.

But don't worry about ole Sheriff Clarke, he found a soft place to land.
Not quite as prestigious as a White House post, but at least he still gets to kiss Trump's ass.

During worst floods in American history Donald Trump takes the time to promote book by Palin ghostwriter.

If you click that image you will see that this is another book ghostwritten by Nancy "I have no soul" French.

Which is kind of odd since Nancy came out hard against Trump, and her husband even launched an over in the blink of an eye campaign to run against him for president.

Still this Clarke guy is one of the few black folks willing to support Trump publicly, so maybe that supersedes his dislike for the French family.

(P.S. To be fair Trump DID tweet about all of the flooding gong on right now, but still...)

White House considers giving Milwaukee Sheriff, who once called Hillary Clinton a "morally bankrupt," "straight up cop hater," the position of Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security.

Courtesy of Politico: 

The White House is considering David Clarke, the sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, for a position at the Department of Homeland Security, three people familiar with the administration’s planning told POLITICO. 

Clarke is in line to be appointed as assistant secretary at DHS’ Office of Partnership and Engagement, which coordinates outreach to state, local and tribal officials and law enforcement. The position does not require Senate confirmation. 

A senior administration official cautioned it’s “not a done deal yet.” 

Clarke, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, has long been rumored as a possible candidate for a job in the administration and met with Trump in November at Trump Tower. He also spoke at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last year.

Besides making the aforementioned remarks about Hillary Clinton, he was also sued for negligent homicide after a prisoner gave birth and her baby died in one of his jails.

That was only one of four deaths that happened in a six month time frame.

So considering this man's considerable baggage, and the fact that he is not exactly lily white like most folks hired by the White House, what was the deciding factor that made Clarke such an attractive candidate?
Ahh, say no more.

Nothing says you have the right stuff for a job in the Trump Administration like ties with Russia.
