He was a loser. No energy. No fire. And clueless, too. You know he was a really bad governor of Minnesota, I mean Wisconsin, right? Everyone says that. No one likes the job he did.

Carly, you're next.

Please try not to bleed all over me like that lovely broad Megyn.

football will be cancelled. i can't hear anything over all my celebratory dancing.

Go home, lunatic.

oh goodie, can we end football now? like forever?

When you write a best selling book, you can talk. Until then, try to listen more. You might learn something.

Bang your head enough times and it will formally result in "bonkus of the conkus."

You should speak English while in the United States.

Who is this loser? I never heard of her. I bet her movies suck. I'd never hire her, not even as cleaning lady on the set of The Apprentice.

Losers.

I don't have any problems with this caste system. Why does anyone else?

Steve Jobs was Syrian and he was always #1 in the polls.

If it was a Trump hotel there wouldn't be any furriners trashing the grounds

I am willing to bet every major Trump property has hosted multiple orgies over the years, mostly in rooms/floors rented by Japanese or Saudi businessmen.

I understand why he is popular, Americans like straight shooters, they really don't much pay attention to politics, and thanks to years of right wing news propaganda, they are easily riled up. The thing about Trump, many of personal viewpoints may be off the wall, but so to is the rest of the Republican field. He says some racist #######, and few people on the right seem to want to call him on it. The only thing they criticize him for are his views on the economy, which ironically is the one thing he is not too wrong about. Jeb Bush wants to double down on the same voodoo economics his brother pushed I.e. more tax cuts.

In all seriousness, I think he's the only Republican who comes across as authentic. When he says he thinks Mexico sends us rapists, I get the sense he really believes that. It's not something a pollster told him to say.

And I think that authenticity is why people like him.

That authenticity is why I don't hate him.

If Hillary's the nominee, I may even vote for him.

Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 14, 158,456 people from Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Bangladesh and sub-Saharan Africa arrived on Greek shores by sea. They experience the Aegean the same way. They’ll experience Kos slightly differently.

As global attention finally focuses on the scale and horror of the Syrian refugee crisis, arrivals are frequently divided along national lines by the authorities, Greeks and even by the arrivals themselves. What has emerged is sometimes perceived as a de facto caste system, with “official” Syrian refugees getting limited preferential treatment, compared to those who are on the move for as many reasons as there are migrants.

...

Last week, things got ugly down by the police station, as they often do. Amnesty International said 15 to 25 people used bats to attack people who were waiting for their papers. A server at the restaurant next door says they shouted, “Respect to refugees! F— the rest!”

Syrians, said the server, are the only refugees on Kos.

...

The Captain Elias Hotel was built for about 100 guests; it now houses hundreds more from Pakistan, Bangladesh and sub-Saharan Africa. Men lie around what used to be the bar. Women stoke fires in what used to be the garden. Garbage fills what used to be the swimming pool.

...

Syrians, recognized as refugees by the European Union as they are all affected by war, do have some priority treatment in Greece.

On Aug. 15, when Greece provided a chartered cruise liner to take Syrians from Kos to Athens, the Kos pier was tense. As the ship boarded Syrian refugees — and only Syrian refugees — Iraqis sat outside chanting, “Enough! Enough! Enough!”

Across the island that week, small groups of Afghans and Pakistanis protested the preferential processing of Syrian refugees, skirmishing with police and with one another in the dust and heat outside the police station.

On Aug. 18, the day the ship left carrying thousands of Syrians to the Greek mainland, a member of the Hellenic coast guard, who was not authorized to speak with the media, said the boat created more problems than it solved.

“The other guys are saying, ‘What about us? We are sleeping in the street, and blah blah blah,’ ” he said. He says many migrants and refugees tried to push their way onto the boat, too, when they weren’t allowed on.

The national divisions among migrants isn’t just a problem on Kos, though. It is becoming an issue throughout Europe and North America.

...

Over on Kos, [a] Greek coast guard member acknowledges Syrians need his help. But he doesn’t want to extend that help to Afghans, Iraqis or other groups the UNHCR identifies as vulnerable.

“I want to keep the guys that are running from the war, Syrian guys, and tell the others to go home. Back to Islamabad, back to Baghdad, back to wherever they come from,” he says.

The Messicans need to be kept out if we're gonna make Murica great again. We need to add more cream to the coffee if you know what I mean. The lighter the better.

Syrian brew.

I'd like to see him build a big effing wall and make the Mexicants pay for it. That would be cool.

I am pretty confident the Republic will survive four years of that.

Trump is at the top of the polls right now. I wouldn't smear him like that. His support is real, if somewhat unfathomable.

The Clinton crime family wants back in the White House? Ya gotta be kidding me!

A British jihadist with Isil has moaned that his Arab comrades are rude, do not know how to queue and eat like schoolchildren.

In a bizarre rant, Omar Hussain also complained that his fellow terrorists talk loudly when he is trying to sleep, invade his space and steal his shoes.

Their bad driving, habit of staring at people and using his charger for their mobile phones also come under fire.

...

Earlier this year he bemoaned having to peel potatoes without a peeler, having trouble washing his clothes and how he hadn’t been able to find a jihadi bride.

His latest blog, written under the Islamist name Abu Saeed al Britani, warns other Western fanatics thinking of going to Syria of “inevitable clashes in cultures”.

“Arabs as a whole have a unique culture, which differs dramatically from the western lifestyle,” he wrote.

“If one is unaware of these cultural differences then it could be quite peculiar, annoying and, at times, somewhat stressful to interact and associate with them.”

Under a series of subject headings, he goes on to criticise all those annoying habits.

Having attacked their administration skills, he said: “Another ‘great’ feature of Arabs in administration is that there is no queue in any of their offices.

“You could be waiting in line for half an hour and then another Arab would come and push in the queue and go straight in.”

On eating etiquette, he said “our Arab brothers, or Syrians to be more precise, lack these basic manners”.

He said when he was serving food he refused to give any out until “every single one of them was sitting down in their seat” adding: “Unfortunately I had to treat them like primary school students”.

“The difference between an Arab and a non-Arab in their manners in like the difference between the heavens and the earth.”

Under a heading “the staring competition”, he said: “Syrians love to stare at foreigners, maybe because no tourist has ever visited Syria.”

He said being stared at by children was “no problem” but “it can be quite uncomfortable to have a fully grown man stand a few metres away from you staring at you”.

The lack of privacy also annoyed Hussain, who lived with his mother before leaving for Syria last year.

He said his Arab colleagues would rummage through his belongings without asking and “they see no issue in unplugging your mobile phone to charge their own phone, even if it is your own charger”.

“Arabs in general do not know where the red line is in giving another brother his space.”

Syrians are also “very childish in their dealings and mannerisms”, he said, and also have a habit of borrowing his shoes when he takes them off.

He said it can be “quite irritating” to then have to wait for them to return.

Hussain is not alone in complaining about aspects of jihadist life.

A Kuwaiti woman who once ran for parliament has called for sex slavery to be legalised - and suggested that non-Muslim prisoners from war-torn countries would make suitable concubines.

Salwa al Mutairi argued buying a sex-slave would protect decent, devout and 'virile' Kuwaiti men from adultery because buying an imported sex partner would be tantamount to marriage.

...

The political activist and TV host even suggested that it would be a better life for women in warring countries as the might die of starvation.

Mutairi claimed: 'There was no shame in it and it is not haram' (forbidden) under Islamic Sharia law.'

She gave the example of Haroun al-Rashid, an 8th century Muslim leader who ruled over an area covered by modern-day Iran, Iraq and Syria and was rumoured to have 2,000 concubines.

Mutairi recommended that offices could be opened to run the sex trade in the same way that recruitment agencies provide housemaids.

...

'For example, in the Chechnyan war, surely there are female Russian captives,' she said.

'So go and buy those and sell them here in Kuwait. Better than to have our men engage in forbidden sexual relations.'

...

In an attempt to consider the woman's feelings in the arrangement, Mutari conceded that the enslaved women, however, should be at least 15.

...

Mutairi said that during a recent visit to Mecca, she asked Saudi muftis – Muslim religious scholars – what the Islamic ruling was on owning sex slaves. They are said to have told her that it is not haram.

...
'They said, that’s right, the only solution for a decent man who has the means, who is overpowered by desire and who does not want to commit fornication, is to acquire jawari.' Jawari is the plural of the Arabic term jariya, meaning 'concubine' or 'sex slave'.

One Saudi mufti supposedly told Mutairi: 'The context must be that of a Muslim nation conquering a non-Muslim nation, so these jawari have to be prisoners of war.'

Not surprised. Money is powerful.., nothing to do with race.

Not race, but it does have a lot to do with culture. The consular district in New Delhi sees a lot of incidents like this, mostly from Arab embassies/consulates. Europe has money. America has money. Japan/Korea have money. But incidents like this tend to come mostly from cultures that are more sexually repressed (the high incidence of rape by rural youth working in Indian cities is another example).

A Saudi-led alliance has killed at least 20 Indian nationals in airstrikes on fuel smugglers at a Yemeni Hodeidah port on Tuesday. Fishermen and few residents who witnessed the incident said that two boats were hit in the attack on an area called al-Khokha near Hodeidah port.

...
India's External Affairs Ministry on Tuesday said that it was verifying the facts of the reports that about 20 Indian nationals were killed in an air strike by the Saudi-led alliance

...
The alliance, made up mainly of Gulf Arab countries, has increased air strikes on Sanaa and other parts of the country since Friday, when a Houthi missile attack killed at least 60 Saudi, Bahraini and United Arab Emirates soldiers at a military camp in east of Sanaa.

They were part of a force preparing to assault the capital, which the Iranian-allied Houthis seized last September.

A diplomat from Saudi Arabia is among those booked for gangrape and wrongful confinement after two women — a woman, 44, and her daughter, 20, from Nepal — were rescued from his residence in Gurgaon after a raid on Monday night, police said.

...

“The raid was conducted on Monday at the Caitriona Towers house of a senior diplomat in the Saudi Arabia embassy after a tip-off. Several policewomen were assaulted by the guards of the diplomat when the police team sought to rescue the two maids from Nepal who had been held hostage for more than a month,” said Rajesh Kumar Chechi, Gurgaon Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime).

“They (the victims) were brought to the police station and later sent to the civil hospital for a medical examination that confirmed rape and sexual assault,” said Chechi.

While the diplomat is untraceable since the raid, he has been booked under sections 376 D (gangrape), 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural offence), 342 (wrongful confinement), 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 323 (causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, no arrest has been made so far.

The diplomat’s wife, two others from Saudi Arabia and others have also been listed as accused.

When contacted, Saudi Ambassador Saud Mohammed Alsati told The Indian Express, “This is completely false. We would not like to comment any further since the case is under investigation by the Indian police.”

...

The victims reportedly said that on one occasion they were “gangraped by six expats” in the Gurgaon apartment.

According to the police, the diplomat’s wife was aware of the sexual assault and even supported her husband.

...

The women were reportedly lured to Delhi about four months ago by a woman trafficker who promised them a well-paid job in Saudi Arabia.

Last week, Jeb(!) Bush came under fire from Donald Trump — generally a sign that you are doing something right.

In this case, the thing that Jeb! was doing right was answering a question in fluent Spanish. Trump didn’t like it, just as Trump don’t like it any time anyone speaks and Trump cannot understand (so, not in the third person and using words of more than one syllable).

And Sarah Palin agreed. Palin apparently wants to be Trump’s energy secretary (discussing this fantasy Cabinet at greater length will be my alternative to football this season) and has been saying lots of things to show her fitness for the position — “I think a lot about the Department of Energy, because energy is my baby: oil and gas and minerals, those things that God has dumped on this part of the earth for mankind’s use instead of us relying on unfriendly foreign nations.”

Yes, “Those things that God has dumped on this part of the earth for mankind’s use” — I checked several times to make sure this was not an Onion video, because it seemed so unsubtle in its wording.

When she was not talking about God’s dumps, Palin had more words for those from foreign nations, friendly and otherwise.

“Speak American!”

She told Jake Tapper, “I think we can send a message and say, ‘You want to be in America, A, you’d better be here legally or you’re out of here. B, when you’re here, let’s speak American. . . . Let’s speak English, and that’s a kind of a unifying aspect of the nation is the language that is understood by all.”

Perhaps that explains everything. She was speaking American this whole time, not English. So, for that matter, was Trump.

Here is a sentence by Donald Trump, ostensibly in the common language that is understood by all.

Is it possible that Palin and Trump do not grasp the sublime irony of people who do these things to the English language complaining that others don’t use it properly, or at all? If English were a rental car, the people at the desk would panic and hide every time Sarah Palin walked in. Whenever she uses it, it comes back dented in strange places. This critique is like the pot calling on the kettle to such a great extent that we comprehend so well, so sincerely, here in this great land, not just here but in our heart of hearts, under God, furthermore.

Both she and Trump possess their own unique syntaxes. He sounds like a 4-year-old paraphrasing a political speech. “Trump will make America great. Trump is very huge and smart. Trump will build a big wall. Trump knows nuclear!” She sounds like she has been trapped in the question portion of the Miss America pageant for the past decade. When it started, someone told her that you were allocated only a single sentence but that as long as you said “furthermore” periodically it could go on for as long as you liked. Watching the two of them try to converse on One America News Network was like Oscar Wilde’s famous quip about fox-hunting — “the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.”

Perhaps this is the explanation: This whole time, they were alone in speaking something that wasn’t English at all. They spoke American.

American is all form and no content. All sizzle, no steak, like such as and therefore. American is what you speak during a pageant — and, increasingly, during an election. It’s something like English, but not quite. It has separate dialects for male and female. American (masculine): all boast, all noun and verb, all Trump, a kind of bad parody of Hemingway forced to give a political speech without ever mentioning any proper nouns — and American (feminine): cliche-ridden (never “in our heart” but “in our heart of hearts”; never “this country” but “this great nation under God”; never “destiny” but “manifest destiny”) beating back against the current, borne back ceaselessly toward a comma splice, dragging a heavy chain of clanking cliche everywhere it goes, Palin-style. This is what Real Americans speak. I speak American, and so can you!

Read my lips: No new syntaxes! Let’s make American great again!

That, or she briefly misspoke. But you know what they say about gaffes: They’re when you accidentally say what you mean.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2015/09/08/sarah-palin-and-donald-trump-ask-other-people-to-speak-american-i-knew-what-they-were-speaking-was-not-english/

I'm starting to understand the allure of Trump. This oneupmanship is oddly attractive in a base, vile and nasty way, and we all know how the laydeez love a bad boy.

I love it when you try to sound smart. I wouldn't try too hard though, you might burst something. Everyone knows the truth. Which is why they don't like you.

My display name is better ?

Make that $550 million. You don't have it, do you?
