Today's Quote

“People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.” --James Baldwin

Rhetorical Cues

When somebody starts by saying, "I'm not racist, but...", you know what follows will make you wish they'd die in a tragically embarrassing bathroom accident.

A close second is when (usually) a "conservative" starts a comment with, "The fact of the matter is...". You can then expect a pile of spun-up bullshit and anything-but-facts intended to deflect and obscure.

Here endeth today's lesson.

Logic Like A Pretzel

Grampy McDumfuck tried to throw some shade by taking exception to Trump's frat-boy slap at Khizr Khan:
“In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldier’s parents. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States — to say nothing of entering its service. I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.
That last bit, Sen McCain - that's bullshit.  Trump absolutely represents the party. He is the lead messenger for the party. The party officers are lined up behind him, propping him up.

You get one tiny atta-boy for that one time at that one event in 2008 when you took the mic back from that idiot lady who tried to say Obama's a Muslim.  That's it, pal.  If you had anywhere near the balls your daughter's got, you'd be out front on this one, trying to re-assure the country that your GOP buddies aren't really as fucking stoopid as they seem to be right now. He doesn't speak for the GOP?  Your guys nominated this polished turd - Donald Trump is the GOP now.  Your farm - your pig.

Trump won't show us the tax returns because he's embarrassed - for the last several years, Putin's been claiming him as a dependent.
