		<description>hoping something will stick.  They know the best they can do is reinforce a hard core of followers. The rest are lost to them, and they know it. That&#039;s why they&#039;re talking all this nonsense.

If Obama were indeed all that Trump says, as POTUS with 7 1/2 years in office he would have had plenty of opportunities by now to wreck the country completely.  Even those who despise Obama would realize this if their reason wasn&#039;t so clouded by their hate, and if they weren&#039;t so afraid to admit to themselves they are not only wrong, but that they have fooled themselves. Instead, we have the strongest economy on the planet, The Islamist world is at war with itself and he&#039;s raining drones on ISIS leaders like a mad fucker. 

I wouldn&#039;t worry about Trump.  I would worry about those who will follow him. I don&#039;t think it has even occurred to them yet that Obama &lt;em&gt;won&#039;t be here&lt;/em&gt; by February.  </description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;Look, we&#039;re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he&#039;s got something else in mind,&quot; Trump said in a lengthy interview on Fox News early Monday morning. &quot;And the something else in mind — you know, people can&#039;t believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can&#039;t even mention the words &#039;radical Islamic terrorism.&#039; There&#039;s something going on. It&#039;s inconceivable. There&#039;s something going on.&quot;

In that same interview, Trump was asked to explain why he called for Obama to resign in light of the shooting and he answered, in part: &quot;He doesn&#039;t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands — it&#039;s one or the other, and either one is unacceptable.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Trump has dragged the US so far down no one is even shocked by what he spews anymore...</description>

		<description>...even from a strictly tactical propaganda point of view, these three positions make no sense.  

They are desperately trying to come up with something, anything, that counters the swell of public support the LGBT community has generated in the population at large.  Homophobia is the last traditional bigotry button they have left, and they seem determined to keep pushing it as long as they can before it is lost to them forever.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Fox News host Steve Doocy asked, “So, why is the Obama administration pushing to take away life-saving armor” like Kevlar helmets and BearCat vehicles from the police, noting that both were used to save lives during the June 12 mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. But neither item is included on a list of prohibited police equipment President Obama created in a May 2015 executive order, which prevents the federal government from transferring certain items to local police departments and the departments from buying those items with federal dollars.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>that people all over the nation are showing their support for the victims of this massacre--in social media, vigils, public statements by community leaders, and by unprecedented numbers of volunteers lining up to donate blood.  These supporters cannot all be gay, it is a sign of changing political and cultural views in the population as the nation becomes younger, browner and smarter.

Using homophobia to fan up the Right-wing political base just doesn&#039;t work any more, and even as a purely cynical tactic; neither does anti-Semitism, McCarthyism, or racism. Bigotry has become politically counter-productive.  Except for Mexicans, the Right is running out of scapegoats. 

Maybe that gives us a clue why Conservative propagandists seem to be relying so strongly on anti-Muslim rhetoric.  Its all they&#039;ve got.</description>

		<description>Suddenly they are big supporters of Gays...
I guess they decided to take a break from their constant screaming about the &quot;homosexual agenda&quot;.

Remember when Trump called for a ban on muslim refugees? Remember how he then said he didn&#039;t really mean it? Well now he is bragging about how he was first to suggest it...

Of course the shooter was born here in the US, but Trump claimed that Hillary wants to let in %500 more Syrians some of whom are worse than the shooter...</description>
