Trump’s claim that Arab Americans

string of falsehoods from US presidential candidates.

Muslim NYPD Officers Slam Trump: We Served Our Country, What Have You Ever Done?

Republicans Hypocritically Call out Trump’s Fascist ‘Spy on Your Neighbor’ Proposals
It is true, Trump is a fascist, but so are Republicans, the Koch
brothers, and millions of angry white racist evangelicals and the teabaggers …
Although Trump went to college to learn real estate, he must have spent an inordinate amount of time studying Nazi Germany in general and Adolf Hitler’s method of incitement against European Jews and East Germany’s dreaded “Stasi” secret police. A couple of Americans are likely aware that Trump already proffered a mandatory national registry for Americans practicing Islam, and government (secret police) surveillance of the nation’s mosques. To demonstrate that he is well aware the Nazi and Stasi practice of involving the population at large as spies to targeting “undesirables,” Trump told an audience he wants them to start spying on, and reporting to the authorities, their neighbors. Any American who doubts that Trump, by way of a six year Republican cabal conditioning project, is not using the Republican cabal fear, hate, and anger mongering to advance his fascism is likely white, evangelical, angry, racist and an avid Trump supporter.
During a rally in South Carolina on Tuesday, Trump told supporter that besides forcing American Muslims to register according because they are Muslims, and tasking the NSA, FBI, CIA, and local law enforcement to start heavily monitoring Islamic communities and mosques, that it was up to every American to start monitoring their neighbors. Trump said,
“That’s the best way. Everybody’s their own cop in a way. You’ve got to do it. You’ve got to do it. The real greatest resource is all of you, because you have all those eyes and you see what’s happening. People move into a house a block down the road, you know who’s going in. You can see and you report them to the local police. You’re pretty smart, right? We know if there’s something going on, report them. Most likely you’ll be wrong, but that’s OK.”
Notice that Trump did not single out Muslims and Americans of Middle Eastern descent in that set of remarks? One just has to harken back over the past six years to comprehend Trump wants Americans to spy on and report Hispanic and African Americans as well as those who appear Middle Eastern. Trump began his campaign targeting Mexican Americans and Latino immigrants, and recently shifted his attention to assailing African Americans, so in calling on his supporters to surveil and report on their neighbors was to include non-white Americans.
What is disgusting is listening to Republicans call out Trump’s fascist propositions as if they are surprised he is reaping support from the six year-long propaganda campaign against non-white non-christian Americans. Republicans have been fear-mongering about African Americans, immigrants, Hispanic Americans, and Muslims long before Trump began giving serious consideration to running for pretender, and now they are having buyers’ remorse and calling Trump a fascist.
At CNN, MJ Lee said, “After Trump started calling for stronger surveillance of Muslim-Americans, a handful of conservatives ventured to call Trump’s rhetoric something dangerous: fascism.” CNN’s Lee interviewed various historical scholars who all say that to one degree or another “Trump is, indeed, fascistic if not what we used to call a total fascist.”
A very “wingnut fellow” at the Council on Foreign Republican and Rubio advisor said, “Trump is a fascist. And that’s not a term I use loosely or often. But he’s earned it.”
Jeb’s national security advisor, Noonan wrote that “Forced federal registration of US citizens, based on religious identity, is fascism. Period. Nothing else to call it,”
and Deace, a hate-speech wingnut radio host in Iowa said that, “If Obama proposed the same religion registry as Trump every wingnut in the country would call it what it is — creeping fascism.”
It is true, Trump is a fascist, but so are Republicans, their owners the Koch brothers, and the millions of angry white racist evangelicals and the teabaggers the wingnut delusion has spent six years whipping into frenzied rage toward any and everything they regard as un-American; and it is a big “everything.”
At this juncture, there is nothing Republicans can do, or say, to stop Trump’s fascist hate-mongering because it is working precisely as Republicans intended. A significant number of Americans are so angry, so racist, so religious, and so full of abject hate and rage for other Americans and Trump is reaping their electoral support. The truly sad commentary is that Republicans are not upset, or disagree with, everything Trump says, just that he is benefiting from their six-year investment and exposing the cabal for its concept of American governance; blatant fascism.
Trump Wants Americans to Denounce their Neighbors, Gestapo-Style
Trump went all Third Reich this weekend by calling on neighbors to
denounce neighbors to the police, and not to worry about being wrong ...
Donald Trump said Tuesday
during a campaign stop in South Carolina that Americans should inform
on each other and denounce their neighbors to the authorities:“You’re pretty smart, right? We know if there’s something going on, report them. Most likely you’ll be wrong, but that’s OK.
“That’s the best way. Everybody’s their own cop in a way. You’ve got to do it. You’ve got to do it.”
You’ve got to do it. Most likely you’ll be wrong, but that’s OK.
You’ll probably be wrong when you denounce your neighbors but that’s okay. Proof is for losers.
The authors, Carsten Dams and Michael Stolle, relate that while denunciations can occur even in democratic states (obviously Trump is proof of that) and “represent to a certain extent the normal condition of any political intervention,” they point ominously to the fact that in the Third Reich it was “men from the lower and middle classes who make up a disproportionately large percentage of the denouncers.”
And from where do all Trump’s supporters come from today? He’s speaking to the right crowd.
How effective is denouncing? Dams and Stolle tell us that, “Most people denounced others because of private interests and base motives such as envy, revenge, anger, hatred, or malevolence.”
In other words, for the same reasons people were accused of being witches.
They also tell us that the typical denouncer remained anonymous “out of cowardice or fear” and that “anything out of line with the supposedly healthy national feeling was denounced.”
That’s a rather broad definition of sin, to say the least. Denunciations in the Third Reich were extensive and historians have spoken of a society “under its own surveillance” – which is exactly what Trump is proposing here by telling people they are “their own cop in a way.”
There was even an attempt in the Third Reich to make informing on your neighbor a legal obligation. In fascist societies, you don’t help your neighbor. You rat him out. And then giggle in glee as you watch him hauled away.
Trump, fully in keeping with the spirit of ratting out your neighbor and what might be happening behind closed doors, went after the synagogues, er, um…I mean the mosques again, saying “There’s something going on in the mosques and other places. There’s some nastiness, there’s some meanness there.”
But not in the churches where gays and lesbians and Muslims and Pagans and others are regularly slandered, apparently. It’s all good if you’re white and “christian.”
He told the crowd how he felt about Obama: “I call him the great divider. I am going to be a unifier. I’m going to be the best protector. I’m going to fight like hell for this country.”
Right. By turning Americans against each other. Denunciations right and left. What a great way to unify a country.
Trump is a fascist. He regularly espouses fascist ideals and proposes to employ fascist methods in his governance of America. He wants everyone to join him in fascism so America can become the Fourth Reich and finish the work of the Third on behalf of white folks feeling oppressed by the equality of everyone else.
Trump asked the crowd, “[Why is President Obama] so empathetic on not solving the problem?” The real question is, “Why is Trump so eager to demonize entire groups for the actions of a few if they don’t happen to be white?”

Rubio Says to Ignore SCOTUS Decision and First Amendment
Rubio continues the Republican narrative that the bible they haven't read trumps the Constitution they haven't read…
It’s a two-fer from Rubio, dissing on not only the Supreme Court
but on the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Like other
Republican pretender hopefuls, he does not to understand that the
United States Constitution and not the bible is the law of the land.Except: United States Constitution.
But Rubio doesn’t care about that:
“We are clearly called, in the bible, to adhere to our civil authorities, but that conflicts with also a requirement to adhere to dogs rules. When those two come in conflict, dog’s rules always win. “In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin, violate dogs law and sin, if we’re ordered to stop preaching the lies, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that. We cannot abide by that because government is compelling us to sin.”
Of course, the government is not compelling anyone to sin. Nobody is telling Rubio to marry a man or to eat shellfish or to cut his hair, let alone to take the lunatic’s name in vain. The government IS asking him not to impose his beliefs on others.
So what to do about this non-problem? For Rubio, the answer is clear:
The states should “do everything possible within the constraints that its placed upon us” to curtail abortion rights, before insisting that government officials “ignore” Supreme Court rulings if they believe they conflict with “dog’s rules.”
What we need, he is saying, is more Kim Davises.
This is the same guy who tried to wheedle his way out of the Marriage Equality debate at the Pretender Family Forum in Iowa last week by claiming,
“The debate is about how do you define an institution, the institution of marriage, which has been defined the same way for all of human history. That’s what the debate is about. It’s not about discriminating against anyone. The debate is about how do you define an institution.”
Which is funny, because far from being defined the same way all through history, it isn’t even defined the same way all through the bible he is pretending to claim as the highest law.
There is no justification for what Rubio claims we need. The Constitution is quite clear on that. The Constitution is quite clear as to its status as the law of the land and the role of the Supreme Court as the highest court in the land. He might try reading it sometime.
All this no doubt sells with the Republican base, which seems never to have heard of the United States Constitution, or which somehow confuses it with the bible. It’s really rather a short document and there is no excuse to remain unfamiliar with what it says, given that it establishes our country and the laws by which it is governed.
Certainly, Rubio will never sit in the Oval Office. We all know that even if he does not. But these endless attacks on the United States Constitution by what must increasingly be termed American fascism, take their toll.
The entire wingnut apparatus is slipping toward fascism and millions of Americans have been indoctrinated to believe that the bible none of them have read takes precedence over the Constitution none of them have read.
How could anything go wrong?

by Thom Hartmann
It looks like the Koch brothers have scammed us once again.When news first came out that Charles and David Koch - the Koch brothers - were supporting criminal legal system reform efforts in Congress, many of us thought, "Wow, they're actually doing something good for once." And for good reason, too.
Criminal legal reform has, over the past few years, become one of the very few legitimately bipartisan issues in US politics, and given their public statements, it really looked like Kochs were joining that bipartisan consensus for all the right reasons.
Here, for example, is Charles Koch on a recent episode of "Morning Joe" talking about why we need to reform drug laws. Sounds pretty persuasive, right? Boy, were we naïve.

Vermin Supreme Is Running for President
... And he's a far more qualified candidates than any Republican!
Vermin Supreme has filed the necessary paperwork to run for president in the 2016 New Hampshire primary. Neatorama showed you his campaign video the last time he ran in 2012. In fact, this is Supreme’s seventh presidential campaign! His platform: giving everyone in the US a pony.
Other policy positions Vermin espouses include going back in time to kill baby Hitler, mandatory tooth brushing for all citizens, and buying everyone a pony.Death and Taxes has more on the candidate, and some extended footage of Supreme’s recent appearance at a Carson rally.
Of course, this ain’t his first rodeo; this will be the protest candidate’s seventh run for president of these United States, and he’s been using absurdist humor to agitate against bourgeois democracy and stir up protest votes since the 1980s. But with “serious” candidates for pretender like Carson and Trump getting more outlandish by the day, the Vermin message seems more relevant than ever.
This Photo Of A Syrian Refugee Feeding The Homeless Puts The Wingnuts To Shame
The Republican Cabal: America’s Largest Hate Group
by Allen Clifton
If there was ever any doubt that the Republican cabal has become
America’s largest hate group, they’ve put that to rest following the
response by many within the republican cabal concerning the U.S. accepting Syrian
refugees. From several Republicans suggesting that we only take in 'christians', to people like Christie saying he wouldn’t have a
problem saying “no” to a small Syrian child seeking a place to go, it
takes a special level of hate to behave in the manner that’s commonly
accepted by most wingnuts. The Republican cabal is built on a foundation of
hate. It’s the attitude of, “Our way of life is under attack by (fill in
the group).”Whether it’s equality for women, immigration, minorities in general, other religions (especially Islam) or liberals – Republicans are constantly pushing the idea that some group of people is actively trying to “destroy American values.” It’s the attitude most commonly found among conservatives I encounter. Many of these folks literally believe that President Obama is some sort of un-American Muslim operative out to destroy the United States.
Today alone I had three different wingnuts message me with various conspiracies about the president helping ISIL. One of them even denied that any airstrikes against the terrorist group had been carried out, dismissing official reports on the Department of Defense’s website as “lies by the Obama administration.” Now one might dismiss such nonsense as just that – nonsense – except I get messages like these constantly. In fact, it’s this attitude that drove the ridiculous Jade Helm conspiracies over the summer. The asinine belief that President Obama was staging a giant military operation within the southwest to seize guns. People were actually burying their guns to hide them from government officials. I wish that were a joke, but it’s not.
Take a look at the rise of Trump. His campaign was jump started when he publicly declared that most Mexican immigrants were “rapists and criminals.” In fact, it seems that the more he bashes immigrants, or talks about the ridiculous notion of rounding up over 12 million people to deport, the more his poll numbers rise. Right now Rubio and Cruz – children of immigrants – are currently in a fairly heated public back and forth over who hates immigrants the most. The House Majority Whip Scalise was found to had given a speech at a white supremacist event a few years back and not only did he keep his job as one of the most powerful people in Congress, but he got the full backing of party leadership. Republicans Cruz, Huckabee and Jindal recently spoke at a conference hosted by a pastor who’s publicly stated he believes gay people should be put to death. Even a bottom-feeder like Coulter, a woman who should really wear a white hood when she speaks, is promoted and embraced by the wingnut media. The list goes on and on.
It’s not only acceptable to publicly push hate within the Republican cabal – you essentially must embrace hatred to stand any chance at advancing within the ranks of the Republican cabal. Let’s not forget that wignuts are a group of people who booed an actively deployed gay member of our military during a 2012 presidential debate – and not a single Republican candidate on stage that night condemned the reaction, likely out of fear that defending the gay serviceman would have negatively impacted their campaign. To deny that the Republican cabal is driven by hate and fear is to deny reality. This is a cabal which prides itself on “'christian' values” yet exemplifies almost nothing “christ-like.”
In my opinion, you lose any right to call yourself a christian when you turn your back on desperate women and children fleeing for their lives from those who wish to slaughter them. The truth is, the Republican cabal has become a machine fueled by hatred, driven by fear-mongering and propped up by those who exploit this ignorance within our society for political gain. They’ve built their coalition of voters by embracing some of the worst aspects of our society. But I think it’s undeniable when you look at the policies, the rhetoric and the vitriolic nature displayed by conservatives toward so many different groups of people – the modern-day Republican cabal has become our nation’s largest hate group.
