Unhinged Donald Trump Rants On CNN Regarding Banning All Muslims From Entering America

After yesterday’s announcement by Donald Trump that he intends to halt all Muslims from entering the United States, the Trumpster is making the rounds via phone today defending what would be his controversial (and divisive) approach to handling world affairs.

Calling into CNN’s “New Day,” Trump got into a heated exchange with host Chris Cuomo.

Via Mediaite:

Cuomo opened up the interview by noting how Trump’s idea is the latest in a series of positions leading to serious division and condemnation on both sides of the political spectrum. To this, Trump claimed the attacks in San Bernardino and Paris are proof that Muslims are trying to infiltrate and destroy America, and that “we have no choice but to do exactly what I said until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

Cuomo reiterated that the idea of rejecting an entire religion is the antithesis of American values and freedoms, and pushed back saying “you’re acting out of fear, not making us look strong, and rejecting what America is all about.”

Later in the segment, Trump made a claim about intelligence reports to which Cuomo replied, “Our security network is the best in the world. If you ask people who are in the business of keeping us safe, they think the idea of banning Muslims does nothing to help and everything to hurt. They’re the experts, that’s what they say. They think the idea is stupid.”

I should point out that EVERY Republican White House hopeful denounced the idea of slamming the door on all Muslims yesterday. And intelligence/security experts all day long agreed the policy would hurt the United States, not help it.

Cuomo rocked this.

New Poll: Hillary Clinton Leads GOP Front-Runner Donald Trump By 11 Points

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

It’s interesting how things play out in the media versus ongoing polling for the upcoming presidential season.

For instance, if you watch the news just about anywhere, all you see is GOP hopeful Donald Trump. He’s big. He must be the biggest! So, he’s going to win it all, right?

Not exactly.

According to the latest MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll, Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton beats every Republican contender in the hunt.

From NBC News:

Clinton’s biggest lead is against current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump: She’s ahead of him by 11 points among all voters, 52 percent to 41 percent, and a whopping 42 points among Latino voters, 69 percent to 27 percent.

The former Democratic secretary of state leads Ted Cruz by seven points nationally, 51 percent to 44 percent, and by 27 points among Latinos, 61 percent to 34 percent.

Clinton holds a four-point advantage over Jeb Bush, 49 percent to 45 percent, and a 26-point lead among Latinos, 61 percent to 35 percent.

She’s ahead of Marco Rubio by three points among all voters, 48 percent to 45 percent, and 19 points among Latinos, 57 percent to 38 percent.

And Clinton leads Ben Carson by just one point, 48 percent to 47 percent, and she holds a 26-point edge among Latinos, 61 percent to 35 percent.

Bolding is mine.

Note the huge margin among Latinos, the fastest growing minority in the U.S. Tells you a LOT right there.

Nordstrom Department Store Celebrates With Real-Life Gay Couple And Pooch

Just another holiday homecoming is what we get in the new ad spot from Nordstrom, which features a handsome gent being welcomed home by his husband and four-legged family member.

“Home is the heart of the holiday season.”

I understand the two men are a real-life couple engaged to be married, so kudos to Nordstrom for sharing some reality with us.

It comes as no surprise that Nordstrom has a 100% rating in the Human Rights Campaign Buyers Guide.

It’s also my husband’s favorite department store. See? He has good taste 🙂

Donald Trump Calls For “Total And Complete Shutdown Of Muslims Entering The U.S.”

Donald Trump’s campaign issued a statement today calling for complete halt to all Muslims attempting to enter the U.S.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population.

Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing “25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad” and 51% of those polled, “agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.” Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won’t convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again.” – Donald J. Trump

Just so we’re clear: a ban on Muslim immigrants proposed by the frontrunner of the party that claims to stand for religious freedom?

You can’t make this stuff up, kids.

UPDATE: Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton called the proposed policy from Trump “reprehensible.”

PAPER Gives Us The Bounty Of John Stamos’ Booty

photo by Brian Bowen Smith

In another of PAPER’s “break the internet” escapades, the website gives us a quick Q&A with “like a fine wine” John Stamos, who generously shares his very ample backside.

For this, we say “thank you, PAPER.”

From PAPER:

One of the finest gifts the Isles of Greece have ever given us (just a notch below democracy and just a notch above the art of storytelling), John Stamos only gets better with age.

He’s starring in the new Fox sitcom Grandfathered, filmed My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 and next year he’ll be reprising the role of Full House‘s Uncle Jesse for the Netflix series Fuller House, all while continuing to work for the adoption charity Project Cuddle.

He’s so busy that it’s no wonder that he forgot to wear pants for our shoot. In the spirit of our new #Fandemonium issue, celebrating stars with devoted online fan bases, we asked John to answer some internet-y questions in the below questionnaire.

Hillary Clinton: The Fight For LBGT Equality Is Not Over

It still catches me a bit off-guard that the LGBT community is not just “included” in campaign promises, we ARE campaign promises.

What’s quite remarkable about this spot is that it includes glimpses of same-sex couples actually kissing. Nothing rapturous, of course, but clearly displays of affection.

Some have doubted Hillary’s support for LGBTs, but I’ve instinctively accepted that she does and will continue to support our tribe.

Even just a few years ago, this would have been unthinkable to see from a presidential candidate.

Just, wow.

From the clip description:

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans deserve to live their lives free from discrimination. Hillary knows the fight for LGBT equality will not be finished until every American can not only marry, but also live, work, pray, learn, and raise a family free from discrimination.

Donald Trump’s “Great Memory” Can’t Remember Famous Muslim Athletes

Although Donald Trump says his memory is “one of the all-time great memories,” he tweeted that he didn’t know of any Muslim sports heroes.

I’m guessing that memory isn’t all that since he’s met Muhammad Ali many times.

Oh, and then there’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal… That’s just off the top of my head, and I’m not even a sports guy.

Fox News Analyst Calls President Obama “A Total Pussy” On Live TV

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters

Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, ever the classy guy, summed up his opinion of President Obama’s speech to the nation last night by telling Fox News’ Stuart Varney that the President of the United States is “a total pussy.”

On live TV.

From Talking Points Memo:

“Look, Mr. President! We’re not afraid, we’re angry! We’re pissed off, we’re furious! We want you to react! We want you to do something! You’re afraid!” Peters said, raising his voice when asked for his reactions during Obama’s primetime speech.

“This guy is such a total pussy, it’s stunning,” Peters continued.

Once he had finished, Varney said he knows Peters is “super angry” but chastised him for using the sexual slur.

“I can tell you are super angry, and I asked you for your reaction, but you can’t use language like that on the program,” he told the guest.

Peters then criticized the President for focusing on gun control in the wake of the shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, saying while the Founding Fathers did not intend for “every drunk [sic] psycho to have a machine gun collection,” Obama shouldn’t prevent law-abiding citizens from owning guns.

“Law abiding Americans owning guns is not the problem here, the problem is Islamist terrorism, and the the President will not even say Islamist terrorism,” he said.

Varney again cut in to scold Peters for his language.

“You used some very strong language there about the President of the United States. I’m the anchor of ‘Varney & Co.’ and I have to ask you to either apologize for that or take it back,” the host said.

Peters responded “I apologize” without missing a beat.
