As they’ve scrambled to find three negatives for Clinton, emails, Benghazi, and the Clinton Foundation, where the complaints are mostly lies, and some exaggerated “problems”, I’ve tried to find even three postive things Trump has actually ever done for anyone but himself, in his entire life.
During Wednesday night’s show, Maddow reviewed a new legal action filed in federal court by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) against the Republican National Committee (RNC) for racist intentional voter intimidation. This is not the first time the RNC has been accused of such.
.
Back in 1981, Republican Party “watchmen,” some of whom were off-duty policemen and security guards, showed up in minority districts donning guns and wearing armbands. They were going to make sure the election went their way — and it did. 4 foot tall Posters were put up containing the word “WARNING” in giant red text and a reward of $1,000 was offered for reporting bonafide fraud. The posters also included a phone number, which led callers directly to a Republican National Party office.
.
Since then, the RNC was has been under a court-ordered consent decree that severely limits their election activities due to their actions in 1981. They were just about to come out from under the court order in 2017, but Trump changed all that. With his continuous call for big, bad poll-watchers to pack and head to polling stations, he has nixed the RNC ability to slide out from under the decree in 2017, and caused the DNC to launch a legal action in a federal court claiming the RNC is violation of the court. This failure to comply will most likely extend the RNC’s consent decree for another eight years. Sucks to be a Republican right now. But then, they built this.
.
Of course, Trump doesn’t give a flip. He’ll be off doing other things, or if we’re lucky he’ll be in a chain gang. But in order to avoid another seven years of mandatory stipulations, the RNC will have to completely divorce themselves, as a party from Trump, his surrogates, and his supporters. Oh, my.
Crow if you take a good look at Trump,and what he is saying, and how is steering up anger and fear, that you might have to admit he is the using the same tactics that Hitler used.
Also saying “Neither of them are running” is a silly waste of space and time.
Citizen Kane’s career in the publishing world is born of idealistic social service, but gradually evolves into a ruthless pursuit of power. Citizen Trump’s career in the real estate world is born of ruthless pursuit of power, but gradually evolves into a narcissistic service to himself. the story is told through the research of a newsreel reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate’s dying word: “Rosebud.” For Trump, he can try to solve the mystery of his eight year old self, not sledding in the snow, but how his father was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering from public contracts.

No wonder Colin Powell is voting for Hillary Clinton.
