What's the matter T-Bones?

Do you get a little shaken when people give you a taste of your own medicine?

What do you hate most about Nixon? That he ended the Vietnam War, that he created the Environmental Protection Agency, that he refused to use military force against the Lakota at Wounded Knee, that he supported universal health care, or that he imposed a 60-day freeze on wages and prices to control an inflationary panic?
The EPA and the wage and price freeze were the most Demmy things he did.

#CanadaEh: Newfoundland police force flooded with Trump tweets
The Canadian Press
First posted: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 09:21 AM EDT | Updated: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 03:08 PM EDT
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has a message for American politicos: It's not the RNC they're looking for.
The police force has been deluged with political messages on Twitter because of a shared acronym with the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, which this week officially made Donald Trump its presidential candidate.
"We've had to block some users because it does get out of control. Our news feed is just basically completely bogged down with Republican National Convention," said Const. Geoff Higdon, a spokesman who handles the force's Twitter feed.
"People have been tweeting to us for years ... any time they're dissatisfied with something Trump has done or said, especially in the last year."
The convention's official tweets come from the Republican National Committee, which organized the Cleveland gathering and also shares the acronym, but it tweets as bgop.
But for users who try the "bRNC" handle, the Newfoundland force is the first "RNC" that comes up, and it has led to confusion -- and humour.
Early Wednesday, American actor and comedian Orlando Jones joked about the overlap to his 142,000 followers: "‚OverheardAtRNC - "Wait, this isn't the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Convention?" bRNC--PoliceNL."
"Really what it's doing is forcing us to read every single tweet, which there's hundreds of them and they're not related to us," said Higdon.
The force tweets as bRNC--policenl, but added the word "police" to its Twitter identifier after people began directing their Trump scorn, and appreciation, to the force's feed.
"We actually changed our user name three months ago to include police in brackets to curb the tweets. I reply to them and say we're not the RNC you're looking for," said Higdon.
The constabulary tweeted back: "We have nothing to do with @realDonaldTrump. We're a Canadian police service in Newfoundland and Labrador."
It added the hashtag 'CanadaEh,' prompting one Twitter user to post a picture of Trump wearing a constabulary hat.
Higdon noted Newfoundland's RNC dates back to 1729, and is the oldest police service in North America: "This RNC's been around longer than the other RNC."
He said ultimately, a sense of humour is the force's best defence against a confused twitterverse.
"At the end of the day, there's not much we can do to curb many of these tweets ... other than suck it up and have a bit of fun with it."

what right wingers have always said about tRUMP:



He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.” — Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina

“I don’t think this guy has any more core principles than a Kardashian marriage.” — Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska

“We saw and looked at true hate in the eyes last year in Charleston. I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the K.K.K. That is not a part of our party.” — Nikki Haley, Republican governor of South Carolina

“A moral degenerate.” — Peter Wehner, evangelical Christian commentator who served in last three Republican administrations

“Donald Trump is a madman who must be stopped,” — Bobby Jindal, former Republican governor of Louisiana

“I won’t vote for Donald Trump because of who he isn’t. He isn’t a Republican. He isn’t a conservative. He isn’t a truth teller. ... I also won’t vote for Donald Trump because of who he is. A bigot. A misogynist. A fraud. A bully.” — Norm Coleman, former Republican senator from Minnesota

“To support Trump is to support a bigot. It’s really that simple.” — Stuart Stevens, chief strategist to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign

“Donald Trump is unfit to be president. He is a dishonest demagogue who plays to our worst fears. Trump would take America on a dangerous journey.” — Meg Whitman, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise C.E.O. and former national finance co-chairwoman for Chris Christie’s presidential campaign

“I thought he was an embarrassment to my party; I think he’s an embarrassment to my country. … I can’t vote for him.” — Tom Ridge, former Republican governor of Pennsylvania and secretary of homeland security under George W. Bush

“I would not vote for Trump, clearly. If there is any, any, any other choice, a living, breathing person with a pulse, I would be there.” — Mel Martinez, former Republican senator from Florida and former chairman of the Republican National Committee

“The G.O.P., in putting Trump at the top of the ticket, is endorsing a brand of populism rooted in ignorance, prejudice, fear and isolationism. This troubles me deeply as a Republican, but it troubles me even more as an American. … Never Trump.” — Henry M. Paulson Jr., Treasury secretary under George W. Bush

“Hillary is preferable to Trump, just like malaria is preferable to Ebola. … If it’s Trump-Hillary with no serious third-party option in the fall, as hard as it is for me to believe I am actually writing these words, there is just no question: I’d take a Tums and cast my ballot for Hillary.” — Jamie Weinstein, senior writer, the Daily Caller, a conservative website

“Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.” — Mitt Romney, 2012 Republican nominee for president

“When you’ve got a guy favorably quoting Mussolini, I don’t care what party you’re in, I’m not voting for that guy.” — Ken Cuccinelli, president of the Senate Conservatives Fund

“Donald Trump is a scam. Evangelical voters should back away.” — The Christian Post, a popular U.S. evangelical website

“Listen, Donald Trump is a serial philanderer, and he boasts about it. … The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery. How proud he is. Describes his battles with venereal disease as his own personal Vietnam.” — Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas

“A man utterly unfit for the position by temperament, values and policy preferences … whose personal record of chicanery and wild rhetoric of bigotry, misogyny and misplaced belligerence are without parallel in the modern history of either major party.” — Eliot A. Cohen, a senior State Department official under George W. Bush


“God bless this man” — Daily Stormer, white supremacist website

from a comments section elsewhere:

To fully appreciate the content of Trump's speech, and of the man, you need to hear three speeches from last night, in order. They were presented 1,2,3. Tom Barrack, who sets the stage for Trump the man, then Ivanka (what a powerhouse this girl is) who sets the stage for who Trump is a family man, and who the Trump Organization is as a business, then the slow rolling boil of Trump himself, who pulled no punches whatsoever. All three speeches form a "sales" package. People who have doubts about what Trump can do simply have no experience in the high powered, high energy, high stakes business world. And anyone who doubts that Trump doesn't mean what he says he will do, would do well not to find themselves in the way of his freight train. Trump's biggest obstacle as President will be that cannot just as easily fire people in govt as can be done in the private sector, but then, he believes in putting the most competent in control - he'll let them do their job.


Will he accomplish all he'll set out to do? No. Will he serve notice to a lot of squishes, both inside and outside the country, that there is a new sheriff in town? Absolutely.

Here’s What America’s Top KKK Leader Thinks About Trump’s Speech Last Night



America’s top KKK leader, Grand Wizard David Duke, is gushing with pride over Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last night.

If you thought it was full of lies and bullcrap, the white nationalist leader David Duke had a very different take, going as far as saying that even he himself could not have said it better.







There you have it folks.

The KKK finally has the outspoken, popular leader they have been searching for decades.

While America winces in disgust, the Republican crowd and the KKK gave him a standing ovation for his lies, bigotry, and racism.

Just because a guy is an A$$hole, Gopher, doesn't mean he can't recognize a good speech when he hears one! Hitler & Mussolini could probably even do that! :) :)
