It's interesting that Trump believes his stance on the Mexican Wall makes a Mexico-friendly judge against him

indicates how aware Trump is that the Wall will be terribad for Mexico and Mexicans.

But let's go ahead and propel the disintegration of a public State apparatus on our literal doorstep...

working out pretty well for Turkey, ya?

So much for my dream ticket of Trump-Gingrich. Looks more and more like Trump-Sessions.

That which you think portrays him as completely ****ing insane is what adds to his growing strength as a candidate this fall among his supporters and the new ones he picks up each and every day. You are soooo Establishment, domer, you will never understand.

So... his supporters are insane?

Trump apparently bought out politicans in Texas and Florida to stop Trump U actions from proceeding against him there.

For those who won't read the linked article:

In Texas:

Greg Abbott is the current governor.

In 2010, he was the Attorney General of Texas. Abbott told the person assigned to the investigation to drop it after a knock-out case had been put together, leaving an estimated $5.4 million dollars on the table. About half of that money would have gone to repaying students who fell prey to the scam.

Trump donated $35,000 to Abbott's campaign for governor 3 years later (which would be his "next" election campaign).
In Florida:

Quote:

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi briefly considered joining a multi-state suit against Trump U. Three days after Bondi's spokeswoman was quoted in local media reports as saying her office was investigating, Trump's family foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political fundraising committee supporting Bondi's re-election campaign.

Bondi, a Republican, soon dropped her investigation, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.

He's dropped from a peak of ~33% equity in the market a week or so ago before this nonsense to ~23% now, so it looks like his strength isn't entirely growing.

Breitbart stooge/anti-semite, probably in the top 10 most pro-Trump people on Twitter:

The Whig Party was destroyed by a toxic candidate in the 19th century.

does somebody want to reconcile the blatant hypocrisy of these two stories without some absurd level of mental gymnastics?

as an aside, it's gonna be pretty tough to enforce the pool separations given canada's and new york city's opinions on the fluidity of gender!

lol, Milo wore a poncho and had a mariachi band play when he spoke at UC-San Diego tonight on cultural appropriation. He rightly said art is impossible and couldn't exist without it.

Cersei on GoT could use a good Whig about now. Zachary Taylor perhaps.
