This is Hilarious, The Republi-CONs CONplaining That Thier Leading CONidate is a CON Artist

UPDATE VII:  "[Y]ou have to wonder why, exactly, the Republican establishment is really so horrified by Mr. Trump. Yes, he’s a con man, but they all are. So why is this con job different from any other?

The answer, I’d suggest, is that the establishment’s problem with Mr. Trump isn’t the con he brings; it’s the cons he disrupts. . .

[T]he Trump phenomenon threatens the con the G.O.P. establishment has been playing on its own base. I’m talking about the bait and switch in which white voters are induced to hate big government by dog whistles about Those People, but actual policies are all about rewarding the donor class.

As I see it, then, we should actually welcome Mr. Trump’s ascent. Yes, he’s a con man, but he is also effectively acting as a whistle-blower on other people’s cons.

Read The New York Times, Clash of Republican Con Artists.

UPDATE VI:  Speaking of CON artists,

Read the Washington Post, The Donald Trump-endorsing pastor who encourages Sandy Hook hoax questions, which notes that "liberal watchdog Media Matters for America published a lengthy review of what Gallups has said — on his radio show and elsewhere — in support of what it called several fringe theories."

The vile Pastor Truthiness (aka Huckster and Con Man Gullible-Gallups) proudly seemed to think that the article was flattering, which should give you cause to doubt his intelligence.

As noted below, betcha the congregation is really proud of this publicity (NOT).

UPDATE V:  "Let’s dispel with this fiction that the Trump phenomenon represents some kind of unpredictable intrusion into the normal course of Republican politics. On the contrary, the G.O.P. has spent decades encouraging and exploiting the very rage that is now carrying Mr. Trump to the nomination. That rage was bound to spin out of the establishment’s control sooner or later.

Donald Trump is not an accident. His party had it coming."

Read The New York Times, Trump Is No Accident.

UPDATE IV:  Here is a sample of the not so flattering stories now appearing in the press about Pastor You-Know-Who:

"An unhinged pro-Donald Trump preacher is spreading the twisted gospel of the Sandy Hook 'truthers.' . .

Just one month after the third anniversary of the carnage, the reverend delivered a rousing invocation at a Florida rally for The Donald.

The next month, he and a guest on Gallups’ radio program were spewing their vile claims about the mass murder. . .

Gallups was described in a Trump news release as an author, radio and television talk show host and the senior pastor of the Hickory Hammock Baptist Church.

The Baptist reverend did not return a call for comment left Tuesday at his Florida church."

Read the New York Daily News, Rev. Carl Gallups, who gave rousing invocation at Donald Trump rally, is a Sandy Hook truther, says grieving parents are nothing more than Hollywood actors.

Wonder why the vile Pastor has no comment

P.S.  The term was used in several stories, it means: evil or immoral, morally despicable or abhorrent, physically repulsive, foul, of little worth or account, disgustingly or utterly bad.

I think that pretty much describes our so-called Pastor.

UPDATE III:  No surprise here, Pastor Truthiness (aka Huckster and Con Man Gullible-Gallups) endorses and supports the Republi-CON CON Artist CONidate.

Read:

MSN, Trump’s new wacko backer: This Sandy Hook truther and obscure Evangelical pastor might be the Donald’s most batsh*t endorser yet (Reprinted from Salon, Trump’s new wacko backer: This Sandy Hook truther and obscure Evangelical pastor might be the Donald’s most batsh*t endorser yet);

Raw Story, Trump’s new Florida ally is a vile Sandy Hook truther who mocks parents with dead children;

Daily Mail, Florida pastor who endorses Donald Trump is a Sandy Hook 'truther': Rev. Carl Gallups claims no-one died in Newtown shootings and grieving parents are Hollywood actors; and

Talking Points Memo, Florida Pastor Who Endorsed Trump Is Vocal Sandy Hook Truther.

Betcha the congregation is really proud of this publicity (NOT).

 
UPDATE II:  Maybe Franken-Trump/Trumpenstein (© NoBullU.com) is  the misogynist racists, Birther (forgive me for the tautology), hateful demagogue he has appeared so far to be during the campaign.

"[A]t a campaign rally Saturday in Orlando, leading supporters in what looked very much like a fascist salute.

'Can I have a pledge? A swearing?' Trump asked, raising his right hand and directing his followers to do the same. He then led them in pledging allegiance — not to the flag but to Trump, for which they stand and for whom they vowed to vote.

Trump supporters raised their arms en masse — unfortunately evoking the sort of scene associated with grainy newsreels from Italy and Germany.
"

The Donald is starting to worry me.

UPDATE:  According to Mitt Romney, Donald Trump is a 'phony, a fraud'.

Of course he is, he's running as a Republi-CON.

This shouldn't surprise anyone who has read this blog since 2009.  Read the 350+ posts (many with numerous updates) labeled Republi-Cons.


As they say, what goes around comes around.

Read USA Today, New ads target Donald Trump as 'con artist'.

I won't be surprised if, before the election, Franken-Trump/Trumpenstein (© NoBullU.com) claims or admits that his whole campaign is/was a con job

How else could he salvage his historical reputation? I doubt he wants to be remembered as the misogynist racists, Birther (forgive me for the tautology), hateful demagogue he has appeared so far to be during the campaign.

The Republi-CON States' Rights Hypocrisy & Myth, Flint Edition

I've not posted many Republi-CONisms lately, but this one is too good to pass up.

"Congress has hamstrung the federal government, giving states the authority to enforce drinking-water standards and all but eliminating the EPA’s power to intervene. This is a pure expression of the conservative doctrine of federalism: States handle things better than the feds because they are closest to the people.

But then came the debacle in Flint, when Michigan authorities embraced cost-saving changes in the city’s water supply and caused mass lead poisoning. Now members of Congress are blaming the EPA for failing to stop the problem — oblivious to the irony that they and their predecessors were the ones who denied the federal government the ability to enforce drinking-water standards in the first place."

IMPORTANT Information on How to Vote For The Donald

UPDATE (03/02/16):  Like the daydreaming milkmaid, I guess I counted my chicken before the eggs hatched.

The window for stopping Donald Trump did not close completely Tuesday night, "leaving the demoralized anti-Trump forces with two weeks and no agreed-upon strategy for denying the New York billionaire the Republican presidential nomination."

Trump pulled out victories in seven of the 11 contests that made up the biggest single primary-caucus night of the nominating season. His remaining rivals — Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — and their allies were left to cling to the flimsiest of hopes that a reversal of his fortunes still lies on the near horizon.


So VOTE for The Donald.

Don't wait, JUST DO IT!

Check your status as a voter with your local election's office and VOTE!! (And again, you can also find contact information for your local election office here.)

DO IT NOW!!!

Only The Donald can bring fundamental and systemic change to D.C. 


AMENDED NOTICE: this post will remain on top until March 1, 2016, Super Tuesday, because Trump appears headed to victory.

NOTICE:  this post will remain on top until March 15, 2016, after the Florida presidential primary.

And keep reading the updates posted at Revoltion16.US (aka Revolution 2016: I am a True Trump Believer and Supporter Now)

UPDATE:  So you might wonder, am I a Republican.  Only reluctantly.

When I first registered to vote 35+ years ago, I registered as a Democrat.  Why, because everyone was a Democrat. And if you didn't register as a Democrat, then you didn't get to vote for local offices because the real election for local offices was in the Democratic primary.  But if I had know better, I never would have been a Democrat, because it was the party of Southern racists.

Beginning with the Civil Rights Voting Act of 1965, but especially in the 1980s with Reagan's Southern Strategy, the Republican party willingly and eagerly welcomed racist and became the party of Southern racists.

Don't ignore the truth, read more about "[h]ow racism explains Republicans’ rise in the South". The term states’ rights was a code word for "explicitly racist policies" and the Confederate Flag was not a symbol of genteel 'Southern heritage' but a heritage of hate symbolizing and endorsing "on some level, even if secretly or subconsciously, the very rationale for the Confederacy . . and the great treason of the South in the 19th century, of its secession from the Union in defense of slavery, and its rejection of patriotism and nationalism. . . resurrected in the 1940s and 1950s as part of a massive resistance campaign against the civil rights movement. It wouldn’t exist in our national popular culture without this moment, when African Americans fought for their equality, and the battle flag was recovered and redeployed as a symbol of opposition to it. . . a very blatant, full-throated defense of white supremacy".

In any case, I resisted the temptation to change parties, but the Democratic party has abandon the South, and now, if you don't vote in the Republican party, you don't get to vote for local offices.

If you can't beat them, join them. 

So I'm a reluctant, but non-racist, Republican, and I vote.  Here is my 2016 Presidential primary election ballot:


And here's my vote for Franken-Trump/Trumpenstein (© NoBullU.com):
