Trump Meltdown Continues; Trump screams "Obama founder of ISIS"

Original post made by Where did I lose my GOP? It was here a moment ago, Woodside: Kings Mountain/Skyline, on Aug 11, 2016

Bush responds: "hey, but what about MY war!"

Trump: "President Obama -- he is the founder of ISIS. He is the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder. he founded ISIS"

It's past the point of pathetic.

When do we get a real candidate?

Didn't Trump used to claim that George Bush was the founder of ISIS (which is as a more correct statement than his current one)? He thinks his base voters won't remember, but is base is quickly shrinking and these scams aren't going to work in the general election.

I don't think it is fair or right to refer to any American President as the founder of ISIS.
It is popular AM radio opinion talk which today seems to count as a real political discussion.
Thanks to Citizen's United this is what we get for news and journalism these days.

If you go on You-Tube you can sometimes find some of the political TV programs from
the UK. One of them is called "Question Time" where a host with a kind of semi-cicular
TV set travels around Britain to different cities talking to different political and national
figures about current political issues with an audience of people from whatever city
they are in at the time. It is amazing the questions and comments they get from their
audience which is diverse in race, age and occupation. There is simply nothing anywhere
near this in the whole United States.

For some reason it is not viewable outside of the European Union's IP addresses which
they monitor on the BBC, but occasionally someone will be nice enough to post a
program on the American You-Tube site.

What passes for political programming in the United States is an international
disgrace, as is the candidacy of Donald Trump, and the takeover of the entire Republican
party by the super-rich and corporate interests. In order to keep up the Democratic
party has pretty much done the same, but there are still some differences.

Honestly, I hope Trump runs all the way to the November election because otherwise
in this important election cycle we will have something we have never had before, a
candidate that we at least know being replaced by someone who we really do not know
and has not been on the campaign trail and subject to scrutiny as all the other non-
Republican candidates would have been for the last year.

Republicans chose this guy in front of the country and the world, and now they should
have to stick with him and go down with the ship. This election as much as the talking
heads and TV shows want to try feebly to create a superficial facade of normalcy and
continuity in the country and the world is a planetary disgrace, a total failure of leadership
at every level from the political party level deep into the private sector.

The revelation of complete incompetency of the major managing power entity at a time
when we have multiple problems converging together and the economic and power
elite feel it is fair and normal to demand higher and higher compensation for the great
job they are doing for each other. Wow.

Is there anyone who believes Trump about his ISIS claims?

Other than fox viewers?

Hillary Clinton lies for 13 minutes straight. Many of these clips are from CNN. Over 10 Million people have watched this.

Web Link

Of course the Almanac is in the tank for Hillary and will gleefully post numerous blogs that cast Trump in an unfavorable light but will, with great gusto, expurgate blogs critical of Hillary. It seems the Almanac has engaged in group think. When George Orwell wrote 1984 he must have had progressive publications like the Almanac in mind.

Don't get me wrong; the Almanac is a valuable resource for local news and treats that subject matter very professionally and without bias but when it comes to partisan national politics all bets are off. It is the most biased newspaper in the region when it comes to partisan national politics- which is saying a lot because there is an incredible amount of liberal bias in this region.

Donny claims Obama founded ISIS for two days on tv radio and rallies. Loses several points in polls to few remaining sane trump supporters.

Then claims it was somehow sarcasm.

Today?

"Obviously I'm being sarcastic. Then, then—But not that sarcastic, to be honest with you."

Lie. Lie. Lie.

So everyone has to start a Trump interview with:

"are you being sarcastic?"

Are you serious?!?!? What a clown.

No offense to clowns, of course.

On the news today - I am so embarrassed for my party - taking money (cash!) from Ukrainian dictators and the Russian mob.

So terribly broken.

So, I dont know, Nixonian?

Nixon was a crook, but at least he had real beliefs especially on foreign policy.

Trump waffles on EVERYTHING.

Name a topic. You can find Trump on both sides.

Zero trust.

The Trump campaign was run heavily by his offspring.

But that was too much like, I don't know, what do those commoners call it? Oh, yeah. that WORK thing.

So they went off on vacation. What's the worse that could happen? Dad might fire a campaign manager or two, right?

Whoa! Pops brought in that far right, alt-right, white nationalist from Brietbart?

Whoops! Oh well, stay on vacation!! Only 80 days left for this dumb election thing of Pops!

Web Link

"Donald Trump’s closest advisers — his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner — are vacationing this week in Croatia, where they were spotted on a $200 million yacht owned by Hollywood mogul and Democratic donor David Geffen."

"Sons Donald Jr. and Eric embarked on a long hunting trip earlier in the month."

That 'work' thing sure interferes with vacations!!!

The Trump kids abandoned the election of their father once they saw the massive Trump dump in the polls, and came back from vacation to see that their father had replaced them with Breitbart and Conroy.

They have all been abandoned many times by the thrice married and oft self-publicized affairs of their daddy, so they are used to it.

Asked about being shut out by their dad? They said 'well, ya know, pops gonna pops', shrugged and went back on vacation.

Family values.

Well, now that the GOP has alienated every minority in the country, time to start screaming about mooselems again.

Fear! Cower! Call us cowards again, GOP. That always works.

Not.

Have some and let the Americans decide.

So tell me, is this your only task in life?

And how much are you being paid for asking the same question, over and over again?
