The Donald list.

"It has been 13 months since Donald Trump announced his presidential bid and, in the same speech, called Mexican immigrants rapists. The ensuing drip feed of Trumpian absurdities and offenses has had a desensitizing effect. We know that Trump is aracist, a misogynist, an authoritarian, and a narcissist, but we’ve lost track of the many, many specific things he has said and done that disqualify him from the office he seeks.
So we have compiled a list of specific things that make Trump an unacceptable candidate for the presidency. Some are policy proposals that should be outside the bounds of debate, like punitive torture. Some are casual vulgarities, like hisdescription of Rosie O’Donnell. You might not agree that each individual item on the list is disqualifying in isolation—you can vote those down, and vote up the ones you find especially egregious—but the list’s cumulative weight makes its own statement. 
Disclaimer: Trump contradicts himself a lot. Not all of the policy positions listed here reflect his current thinking on a given subject. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether you find that reassuring.

Publishing this stuff is important because he doesn't have any public service record to assess his worth as a prospective hire for the job of president, and as most of his speeches are off the cuff, there are no easily available transcripts to document the awful, awful stuff he says in public on a daily basis. I recently listened to a podcast by a journalist who was complaining about the difficulty of obtaining transcripts of the awful, awful stuff she heard him say at his rallies, in order to do due diligence and document what he said so she could write about it. She found some on the internet from people who had transcribed the speeches themselves, and was thankful for the work they had done, but remarked that a second hand transcription is journalistically weaker evidence than a transcript released by the candidate.

Don't worry Doug, it does not matter. It could be second hand, third hand, or the foul wind that emanates from your pie hole, slate and journalistic "integrity" don't go together.

Nice story though.

""It has been 13 months since Donald Trump announced his presidential bid and, in the same speech, called Mexican immigrants rapists"

First sentence - LIE.

Field plays the game said...

Establishment Media Guidelines for Distorting Public Perceptions of Trump:

• Trump says Mexico is sending rapists and criminals to US along with the stream of immigrants. (Replace with "Trump says Mexican immigrants are rapists")

• Trump's minor joke about a baby at a rally. (Replace with "Trump ejects baby")

• Trump's minor joke receiving Purple Heart at rally. (Replace with "Trump insults war veterans")

• Trump's remark about a silent Muslim mother implying religious subjugation of women. (Replace with "Trump attacks grieving mother of war hero")

• Trump and Bill Clinton avoided Vietnam draft (Omit Bill Clinton)

• Trump wants NATO members to pay according to treaty. (Replace with "Trump wants to break up NATO")

• Trump wants South Korea and Japan to pay more for security. (Replace with "Trump wants to abandon Japan and South Korea)

• Trump wants to end the New Cold War. (Replace with "Trump loves Putin")

• Trump wants to stop illegal immigration, drugs, human trafficking and anchor babies. (Replace with "Trump is racist")

• Trump wants to temporarily halt immigration from known terrorists hotbeds until better vetting can be established. (Replace with "Trump wants to deport all Muslims")

• Trump wants Muslim communities and countries to do more to fight terrorism. (Replace with "Trump is racist")

• Trump has 4 corporate bankruptcies out of 100's of successful companies. (Delete 100's of successful companies)

• Trump counterpunches with insulting Tweets. (Replace with Trump is a bully, lacks temperament to handle nuclear codes)

• Trump insults several women publicly. (Replace with "Trump is a misogynist, hates all women")

• DNC hacked by someone. (Replace with "Russia hacks DNC to help Trump")

• Use plenty of rumors from "anonymous sources": Trump doesn't really want to win, campaign is in turmoil, big fan of nukes, mentally unstable, needs "intervention" etc.

We're getting sick of all this Olympics praise being heaped on Michael Phelps. When will NBC focus on black athletes?

Prog Mind Control said...

Just a year ago, Blacks were still putting Trump's name in every third rap song. Now 99% of Blacks hate him. 99%!

What sheep!

good dog said...

"Now 99% of Blacks hate him. 99%!"

Because the media has made Trump a Symbol of Whiteness.

And blacks hate whiteness more than anything.

Blacks vote as a Racial Bloc.

In Diversity America, so will Whites.

Good for Simone Biles and Gabby Douglass. Looking good young ladies.
Also very exhaustive list of Trumpisms. You may want to chill because the more rational Republicans want to replace him.

Sorry FN, crying babies must go! Otherwise, Trump will do more to help the black man, and the rest of America, than Hillary. BTW, what has BHO done for blacks? NOTHING! Race relations are worse now than ever, especially with police who kill with impunity. America needs Restorative Justice, and a Truth and Reconciliation commission. White America has an unpaid labor bill dating to 1619. Let's get cracking, crackers!

Just pointing out the facts. He said and did those things, and now he must live with it.

You won't answer. You never do, when Negroes are called to task.

Uh huh. Hillary is a retard. Why don't we make her a President?

You Democraps are turds.

Her bad said...

Oops, sorry dude:

Hillary Clinton recklessly discussed, in emails hosted on her private server, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed by Iran for treason, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Sunday.

"I'm not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman," he said on "Face the Nation." Cotton was speaking about Shahram Amiri, who gave information to the U.S. about Iran's nuclear program.

Think anyone else is going defect to the US after they let this guy be executed?

Her brain said...

Often confused. Takes frequent naps. Suffers infrequent seizures. Hillary doesn't have the strength or the stamina to be President:

Democrats hate White People and are human garbage.

The Purple Cow said...

Guys like Lt Cmdr Johnson - what would they do with themselves all day if nobody had invented racism?

They would have no reason to get out of bed in the morning, their hatred of people with different melanin levels defines who they are as human beings. Who would they find to hate if there was no racism?

Left handed people?

Bald people?

People who were richer than them?

Better looking people?

Limpbaugh said...

I was watching Morning Joe online and I had to turn it off. A guest was talking about how the Republicans weren't unified at their convention, but the Democrats were at theirs. The news didn't show you the big "Election Fraud" banner protestors held over Joe Biden's head as he spoke. They didn't tell you about detaining protestors, the white noise machines the DNC used to drown out protestors, and so on and so forth. Look it up. So I turned to Fox News and they were interviewing the mother of the baby Trump "kicked out". She talked about how hilarious it was to have Trump joke around with her. I knew he was being sarcastic the first time I saw that "kick out" the baby clip. The media implanted a suggestion that he was serious in people's minds. Did you see Trump endorse Paul Ryan, John McCain, and what's her name? He was being sarcastic there too, reading the endorsements in a monotone voice. The news is sponsored by corporations that want to steal oil, sell weapons, pollute, and gouge you for medicine. They know they've got Clinton in their pocket for that and they cover up her war crimes. She was instrumental in creating ISIS, recruiting mercenaries, and arming and training them.

field negro said...

Doug, they are not really "terrified", they are color-aroused partisan hacks who want to maintain control.

America is a communist country said...

But Field, your side is in control.

And, to be blunt, you are quite the partisan hack; it's what you do.

Also, there is no one more "color-aroused" than you.

Work on the self-awareness, it'll do you good.
