In an attempt to scare GOP voters with a Hillary Clinton win for the White House, Jeb Bush puts up this ad with an imagined election victory by Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, ending with “Dont’ panic – it’s not too late to change the future.”
The interesting thing about the ad is – the sun is shining, Hillary looks great, and the crowds are happy. Is this supposed to be a “negative ad?”
Hillary should take the first 90% of this and use it herself.
If I was Jeb Bush, I’d be firing some folks today.
Cher pulls no punches in summing up the current presidential race regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire Donald Trump to Billboard:
“Believe whatever you want about Hillary; whatever she is or isn’t, she’s tough,” Cher says.
“I don’t like anything about Donald Trump. It’s a joke at a time when you really need serious people. I don’t think he wants the job, or I don’t think he actually wants to do the work. I think he wants the job because it’s the ultimate deal, and he’s the ultimate ego. I don’t know that I’ve heard or seen anybody like him, and I also never thought that Americans would go for someone like him, a person of his quality.”
Sarah Palin suggested Wednesday that her son’s arrest on domestic violence charges this week stemmed from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and – in part – the president’s lack of “respect” for veterans.
Addressing what she called “the elephant in the room” during a rally in support of Donald Trump, Palin said her son Track came back “different” from his year-long deployment in Iraq.
“My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened, they come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country,” she said after alluding to the arrest.
“It starts from the top. The question though it comes from our own president, when they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through, do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?” she added. “So when my own son is going through what he goes through, coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with.”
According to police reports, Track Palin punched and kicked his girlfriend, threatened suicide by putting an AR-15 to his head and taunted her yelling “do you think I’m a pussy?” and “do you think I won’t do it?”
Between her daughter, who’s had two children out of wedlock while preaching abstinence, and a son who beats his girlfriend while allegedly drunk, I think it takes some big stones to blame someone else for your children’s shortcomings.
Clean your own house, Ms. Palin, before you blame others.
Yesterday, the Human Rights Campaign – the largest LGBT advocacy organization in the country – officially endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president.
This news did not sit well with her current opponent for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who – to be fair – has also been an ally to the LGBT community for years, just as Hillary Clinton has.
Planned Parenthood also chose to endorse Clinton.
Appearing on MSNBC last night he opined:
“What we are doing in this campaign — and it just blows my mind every day, because I see it clearly, we’re taking on not only Wall Street and the economic establishment, we’re taking on the political establishment.”
“And so I have friends and supporters in the Human Rights Fund, in Planned Parenthood,” Sanders continued. “But you know what, Hillary Clinton has been around there for a very, very long time and some of these groups are, in fact, part of the establishment.”
THAT comment didn’t sit well with Hillary Clinton, who immediately tweeted:
Really Senator Sanders? How can you say that groups like @PPact and @HRC are part of the “establishment” you’re taking on? -H
Hunky Zac Efron stopped by Ellen to promote his upcoming movie Dirty Grandpa, and our intrepid hostess talks Zac into a game of HEADS UP.
And, because she loves us, she picked the category of “bad behavior.”
Zac does not fail in his mission. He successfully gets to act out – in leather pants, no less – “lap dance,” “twerk,” “making out,” and “skinny dipping.” Although, I really thought he should have ripped off that shirt for the “skinny-dipping” challenge.
As Sarah Palin, former half-term governor of Alaska (before she quit), endorsed GOP White House hopeful Donald Trump, political folks across the country watched this incredible word salad pour forth from her mouth.
It’s really something to see. Just a few samples:
• “Well, and then, funny, ha ha, not funny, but now, what they’re doing is wailing, ‘Well, Trump and his Trumpeters, they’re not conservative enough.’ ”
• “And he, who would negotiate deals, kind of with the skills of a community organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he deciding that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy.’ ”
• “We’re talking about no more Reaganesque power that comes from strength. Power through strength.” (I think that was a bungled attempt to recall President Reagan’s famous “Peace through strength” line, but does it really matter?)
And, have you ever seen The Donald sit back so passively and hand the spotlight to someone else?
In related news, Trump refused to rule out a Palin as his running mate during an appearance on The Today Show this morning.
Even as Sarah Palin, former half-term governor of Alaska, endorses Donald Trump for president, her family continues to offer tabloid fodder.
This time it’s her 26 year old son, Track Palin, who grabs the spotlight with domestic violence and weapons charges.
Per online court records, Track Palin, 26, was charged yesterday with assault in the fourth degree (domestic violence), interfering with a report of domestic violence, and possession of a weapon while intoxicated. All three charges are misdemeanors.
The Wasilla PD issued the following press release regarding the incident:
On 01/18/2016 at approximately 2204 hours, Wasilla Police responded to a residence for a disturbance. An investigation revealed Track Palin had committed a domestic violence assault on a female, interfered with her ability to report a crime of domestic violence, and possessed a firearm while intoxicated. Palin was arrested and charges of assault in the fourth degree (domestic violence), interfering with a domestic violence report, and misconduct involving weapons in the fourth degree were forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office. Palin was held without bail until arraignment.
Sarah Palin, former half-term governor of Alaska and failed 2008 vice-presidential candidate, has endorsed Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary.
“I’m proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for president,” Ms. Palin said in a statement provided by his campaign.
Her support is the highest-profile backing for a Republican contender so far.
“I am greatly honored to receive Sarah’s endorsement,” Mr. Trump said in a statement trumpeting Mrs. Palin’s decision. “She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for. I am proud to have her support.”
In Iowa, where Ms. Palin spent years developing support, the endorsement could be especially helpful.
”Over the years Palin has actually cultivated a number of relationships in Iowa,” said Craig Robinson, the former executive director of the Republican Party of Iowa and publisher of the website The Iowa Republican. ”There are the Tea Party activists who still think she’s great and a breath of fresh air, but she also did a good job of courting Republican donors in the state,” he added.
It should be noted that Palin has been publicly campaigning for the veep choice or a a cabinet position in a Trump administration for months.
