Donald Trump is still furious over Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
calling him a moron over the summer, so Donald has decided to challenge
Tillerson to an IQ test to see which of the two men is smarter.
This is
an idea that we should all get behind to see just how dysfunctional
Donald truly is. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins talks about Trump’s
challenge to Tillerson.

Trump Throws Paper Towels At Puerto Rican Victims
How many died again? Whatever, you hurt my budget with all your lifesaving, dammit!
Have some towels to dry your tears.
What an asshole!
What an asshole!
Trump Tweets About NFL As America Literally Burns To The Ground
Massive wildfires are raging in California’s wine country right now,
with a death toll currently standing at 10 American citizens. But
instead of addressing this issue, Donald Trump is on Twitter attacking
NFL players and calling media outlets “morons.” This man has to be
removed from office – people are now dying from his negligence and
arrogance, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Trump Loves Genocidal Maniac Christopher Columbus
Trump proclaimed his respect for Columbus on Twitter. Cenk Uygur, Brett
Erlich, and Hannah Cranston, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss.
"resident Trump does not acknowledge Native Americans in his first
proclamation of Columbus Day, breaking with his predecessor.
Trump’s proclamation — issued Friday — celebrates Christopher Columbus’s role in launching the “age of exploration and discovery” and acknowledges the contributions of Italian Americans to the country.
“The permanent arrival of Europeans to the Americas was a transformative event that undeniably and fundamentally changed the course of human history and set the stage for the development of our great Nation,” Trump’s proclamation reads.
“Therefore, on Columbus Day, we honor the skilled navigator and man of faith, whose courageous feat brought together continents and has inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and convictions — even in the face of extreme doubt and tremendous adversity.”

Mike Pence Protests A Protest - Costs Taxpayers $100,000's!
In this ‘Dollemore Daily’ Jesse addresses Donald Trump and Mike Pence's
stunt at the Colt's game on Sunday at which he left the game in protest
of the silent and peaceful protest on the field... All at a massive cost
to taxpayers!
Wealthy Republican Donors Furious That They Backed Incompetent Buffoons To Run The Country
According to reports, wealthy Republican donors are growing angry over
the fact that they spent millions of dollars electing a group of
incompetent simpletons to run the country. But they aren’t mad that
these people are pushing for disgusting policies – quite the opposite,
actually.
They are angry that the morons they paid for aren’t able to pass legislation to screw over American citizens, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins points out.

Trump’s Pledge To Hire “The Best People” Might Be His Biggest Lie Ever
Donald Trump promised that he was going to pack his administration with
“the best people.”
Well, after 8 months we’ve seen people like Priebus, Gorka, Bannon, Spicer, Flynn, Scaramucci, and several others vacate the Trump administration, and the few that are left all seem to be under investigation – including Trump’s own children!

Mike Pence explains how his one minute football visit actually saved America money
Mike Pence directed Air Force Two from Las Vegas to Indianapolis and
took his entourage over to the stadium for the sole purpose of stomping
his foot, walking out, and giving a press briefing on how upset he was
that what he knew was going to happen, happened. It was planned and staged from the outset,
with the knowledge of what was coming so clear that Pence had the press
hang around outside to wait for his pre-generated outrage. Donald Trump
has even tweeted the instructions he gave Pence to set up the gag.
Which makes this bumbling excuse from Pence’s office just … pathetic.

Mike Pence spent a million dollars to watch one minute of a football game—and you paid for it
Just last week, four actual American soldiers died in Niger,
in an attack likely organized by the regional branch of al Qaeda. If
you were unaware of these deaths, or even that there were Americans on
the ground in Niger—where the United States is helping to train
government forces to fight terrorist incursions—that’s understandable.
Because among the things at the top of Donald Trump’s list of important
events, actual soldiers actually dying … doesn’t count.
Instead, Trump has focused on athletes leading a peaceful protest against the ongoing killing of African Americans by police, and the failure of the justice system to hold these police responsible for their actions. By portraying a pose usually reserved for honoring an injured player as a sign of disrespect toward the flag, the nation, and the military, Trump has created a fresh racial injustice to heap on top of the original. In service of this lie, Trump has now tweeted 29 times concerning these uppity protests, including multiple tweets about how this dishonors the military. He’s tweeted zero times about the sacrifice of the Green Berets in Niger.
But apparently just talking about it wasn’t divisive, hateful, and hypocritical enough. Over the weekend, Trump ordered Mike Pence to drop in on Indianapolis for the express purpose of making a show of mock disgust over players daring to express concern that their fellow Americans were being murdered with impunity. Trump didn’t disguise the fact that the whole thing was planned.

Donald Trump Beclowns Himself In Puerto Rico
Posted by Rude One
Jesus fuckballs, how much more embarrassing can thisresidency get than
soulless tangerine cretin Donald Trump play-acting sympathy while
touring the devastation in Puerto Rico? At this point, Trump could drop
his pants, bend over, and blow his fast food shits all over homeless
children clutching their last teddy bear, and we'd say, "Yeah, we were
pretty much expecting that."
Speaking at a National Guard base on the island, Trump spent a great deal of time on how awesome his administration is. He bragged about Linda McMahon more than he talked about the people of Puerto Rico: "I also want to thank Linda McMahon, Small Business. I always joke - I said, she's in charge of small business, but small business is massive business when you add it all up. And she has done an incredible job - built a great company with her husband, Vince McMahon. And I wanted her so badly for this position because there's nobody that knows how to build a company like those and, let me tell you, like this woman. She has been amazing in business, and now she's doing an incredible job as the Administrator." We get it, man. You like wrestling.
And then he gave a lesson in what Mick Mulvaney does: "Mick Mulvaney is here - right there - and Mick is in charge of a thing called 'budget.'" Trump pretty much did the rhetorical equivalent of blowing shit when he said, "Now, I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack because we've spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico." I'm sure the starving people digging their few surviving possessions out of mud will try to economize to save the "budget."
Fucking moron. Fucking clown.
But it got worse when he compared the deaths in Puerto Rico to the deaths during Katrina, which he really did, for fuck's motherfucking sake: "Every death is a horror. But if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here with, really, a storm that was just totally overpowering - nobody has ever seen anything like this."
What kind of savage bitch faced cock mite tells devastated people that they have it better than other devastated people? Comparing the number of reported (so far) deaths in Puerto Rico to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Trump said, "Sixteen people versus in the thousands." No, not "thousands." Less than 2,000 died in Katrina. Horrible, but not thousands. Besides, this is not a game. Except to a clown, everything's a game.
You might be reading this, thinking, "Well, at least he didn't do that thing where he brags about himself." No, fuck you, of course, he did. When an Air Force representative talked about supply and rescue flights, Trump jumped in, "So amazing that we're ordering hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of new airplanes for the Air Force, especially the F-35."
Then the chemicals in his shrunken brain rolling around inside his soft skull clicked over to campaign mode as he said, in the middle of a place that was ripped apart and will take years to put back together, "That's an expensive plane that you can't see. And as you probably heard, we cut the price very substantially - something that other administrations would never have done, that I can tell you."
We are in some kind of psychological experiment in how much stupidity, shame, and savagery we can take before we break or we just say, "Fuck this. I'm watching Netflix and never coming out." And Netflix is calling louder and louder.
When he was getting ready to go on the tour, Trump said that the people who are waiting all day to get water or gas or food, who have no place to store the dead, who are starting to see diseases crop up, who have no power, should be grateful: "I appreciate your support and I know you appreciate our support, because our country has really gone all out to help. And it's not only dangerous, it's expensive." Yeah, they'll get right to decorating a thank you card as soon as they can eat and have more than one operational hospital.
In Texas in August after Hurricane Harvey, Trump didn't mention how expensive the support would be. He didn't talk about the budget. In Florida in September after Hurricane Irma, Trump didn't say a word about the cost. Only in Puerto Rico. Only there.
And, leaving one area, he told the victims of the storm, "Have a good time." The whole visit was his way of saying that he's not responsible for the cluster fuck of ineffectiveness and incompetence that has ruled the rescue and clean-up effort so far. But Trump's the fuckin'resident, man. He can spin, but he can't hide.
Goddamn, this dumb, racist asshole is beclowning our entire country.

Trump Called Out: 'You Don't Give A Shit About Puerto Rico'
Trump got called out to his face while dedicating a golf trophy to the
victims of Hurricane Maria. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of
The Young Turks, break it down.
“Donald Trump on Sunday dedicated a golf trophy to hurricane victims in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, and it didn’t go well. As Trump spoke at Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City, New Jersey, someone in the crowd called out: “You don’t give a shit about Puerto Rico.”
Online, the reaction was about the same:

Tucker Carlson Says Wealthy Black People Don’t Understand Oppression
During one of his more ridiculous segments this past week, Fox News host
Tucker Carlson spoke with Scott Bolden, a black lawyer who happens to
be well off financially.
In the heated exchange between the two, Carlson repeatedly tried to claim that Bolden’s wealth is an indicator that (1) black people are not oppressed, and (2) that he’s never experienced real oppression because he has money.
Carlson grossly misstates the actual problem, and shows that he has no clue how oppression works, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.
https://www.alternet.org/media/watch-tucker-carlson-flip-his-lid-when-hes-told-he-doesnt-understand-what-its-be-black
SCOTT BOLDEN: I've been brutalized by the police. I've been offended by the police.
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): You're wearing thousand dollar cufflinks, don't give me the victim card.
BOLDEN: Doesn't matter. Race is the tie that binds us, economics may separate us but the police have wrongfully stopped me. They've spread me out in front of my Georgetown home.
CARLSON: I actually believe you but you're diverting from --
BOLDEN: But they haven't to you, they haven't to you. So you can't relate to it.
CARLSON: So I can't relate to it, OK. So because I'm white you're saying I have no voice in this conversation.
BOLDEN: You do.
CARLSON: You are fundamentally unreasonable and the position you are taking is an inherently racist one.
BOLDEN: We fundamentally disagree.
CARLSON: Because you are dismissing the position of someone on the basis of his skin color and that is outside the bounds.
BOLDEN: No, I'm dismissing it because of your experience or lack there of.
CARLSON: You know nothing about my experience.
BOLDEN: Have the police ever brutalized you? Wrongfully stopped you? Spread you on the ground?
CARLSON: Spare me, mister million dollar lawyer, this talk.

Trump's Hypocrisy Problem: Private Planes, Private Emails, And Public Humiliation
Between the revelations that his appointees are zipping around the
country on private planes at the expense of US taxpayers and the fact
that at least 6 members of his staff – including his own family members –
are using private email accounts to conduct official business, Donald
Trump and the Republicans are suffering from a massive hypocrisy
problem. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump, you lying hypocritical imbecile, you need to shut your draft dodging ass up about The American Flag!
Where were you when it was your turn to respect the flag?
"I didn't dodge the draft just so some son of a bitch could take a knee during the National Anthem."
7/18/15 UPDATE: Now that Donald Trump has maligned Senator John McCain as a phony war hero who got himself captured in Vietnam, below you’ll find a reminder--which TSG published the last time the Republican claimed to be running for president--how Trump avoided military service.The son of a wealthy real estate developer, Trump received four student deferments that were followed by a 1968 medical deferment that came a few months after he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
After denigrating McCain during remarks today at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Trump faced reporters questions about his lack of service. Asked about the last of his five deferments, Trump said that his disqualifying medical condition was a bone spur in one of his feet (he could not remember which one). It is unknown on which golf course the injury was sustained.
HEY, DOTARD TRUMP!
APRIL 28--Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country, The Smoking Gun has learned.
During a TV interview Tuesday morning, Trump--who spent his high school years enrolled at the New York Military Academy--said, “I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number. I’ll never forget, that was an amazing period of time in my life.”
He went on to recall, “I was going to the Wharton School of Finance, and I was watching as they did the draft numbers and I got a very, very high number and those numbers never got up to.” The word “deferment” was not mentioned by Trump during his chat with the morning show hosts on WNYW, the Fox affiliate in New York City.
However, Selective Service records reveal that Trump, the fortunate son of a multimillionaire real estate baron, took repeated steps to avoid serving in Vietnam.
By the time his number (356) was drawn during the December 1, 1969 draft lottery, Trump had already received four student deferments and a medical deferment, according to military records on file with the National Archives and Records Administration. An extract of Trump’s Selective Classification record, seen here, was provided in response to a TSG records request.
In fact, the December 1969 draft lottery occurred about 18 months after Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied business at the Wharton School. So, while claiming that he would “never forget” being at Wharton watching the draft numbers being drawn, the 64-year-old Trump seems to have misremembered, as candidates are fond of saying.
Trump obtained his first two Class 2-S student deferments in June 1964 and December 1965, when he was student at Fordham University in the Bronx. He was briefly reclassified as 1-A--or
"available for military service"--in late-November 1966, but that classification was switched back to 2-S three weeks later.Another 2-S deferment is dated January 16, 1968, just months before his graduation from UPenn (to which he transferred following his sophomore year at Fordham).
Following his UPenn graduation, Trump--no longer qualified for a 2-S deferment--was again briefly classified as available for service on July 9. However, three months later, on October 15, his classification was switched to 1-Y, which was given to men deemed qualified for military service “only in time of national emergency.”
The 1-Y classification came a month after Trump underwent an “Armed Forces Physical Examination,” according to Selective Service records, which note the results of the exam as “DISQ.”
While the military records do not further detail why Trump was granted the 1-Y deferment, a 1992 biography of the businessman by journalist Wayne Barrett reported that Trump received a medical deferment following the September 17, 1968 exam.
Trump’s 1-Y classification stayed in effect until February 1, 1972 when it was changed to a 4-F classification (which covered registrants not qualified for military service). The change in classification was likely prompted by the military’s December 1971 decision to abolish the 1-Y classification.
The Selective Service records also include a copy of the registration card signed by Trump in June 1964, 10 days after he turned 18. The possible future Commander-in-Chief, it turns out, has birthmarks on both his heels.
