This was one of the dumbest controversies ever, if you saw that and thought anti-Semitite you should never be allowed to interact with normal humans.

Why use a Star of David, MIR? Why would you ever use a Star of David except for in a synagogue or the Israeli flag?

In that context it's just a shape my dude, hankrod isn't Jewish.

You're correct, but when you want to highlight something do you ever think, "hey, I'm going to use the Star of David!" I think there was the possibility that there was some thought behind it. Trump lost the benefit of doubt a long time ago.

Quote
Lewandowski was fired from the Trump campaign and hired on at CNN as a commentator. On Sunday, he blamed "the media" for the outrage over the tweet. He further argued that it was the "same star" used by sheriffs across the country.

Because my twitter feed is filled with "sheriff stars."

Wonder if Lewandowski has seen this piece, which reveals that the meme Trump tweeted has a bit of a history?

i thought it was just some commie star or something. didn't make the jewish connection at all.

"You just like me because my daughter happens to be Jewish."

"Is there anyone in this room who doesn't renegotiate deals? Probably 99% of you. Probably more than any room I've ever spoken in."

"I'm a negotiator, like you folks."

"Stupidly, you want to give money... But you're not going to support me because I don't want your money." “You want to control your own politicians.”

Prejudice much? I'm sorry I question he put the Star of David over $100 bills.

Using the circle instead of the star makes it racist against the Japanese. #thinkprogress #buckettard

Trump

More likely: tribute to sheriffs or taken from anti Semitic Twitter?

ednksu · « **Reply #2909 on:** July 04, 2016, 09:15:14 AM »

I'm sure the tweet thing with white genocide people is just a coincidence too.

Deliberate attempt to confuse people about the location of hospitals in order to keep Obamacare solvent

Obama did much better with African Americans - not good for Hillary.

treysolid · « **Reply #2915 on:** July 05, 2016, 08:58:42 AM »

You guys, Trump never said he had all the African Americans - he said he had the best African Americans. That 1% he has is obviously the top 1%.

They round that to the nearest percentage point, so it's possible (likely, even) that his African American is even more elite than you are implying. In an academic sense, of course.

Not surprising considering one of his main policy objectives is reinstitutung slavery. #thinkprogress

I didn't notice the star, I just thought it was funny because he posted it a second time and added a hashtag

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #2919 on:** July 05, 2016, 06:36:35 PM »

Trump is rallying herp derps in North Carolina right now on tv and going off the cuff and throwing people out of his rallies and using the term "so fast your heads will spin" and all the good old favorite trump'y things!

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #2920 on:** July 05, 2016, 07:54:39 PM »

omg that was as rambling and incoherent as ever. Absolutely a beautiful disaster.

When he came to the grand finale he whipped the crowd into a frenzy, then he said goodbye and walked offstage while the speakers blasted "Y'all Ready For This?!" as he walked offstage. It was a 'tater hayseed jock jams cream dream. Only way it could've been better is if he rode off on a Harley.

makes sense. it doesn't much matter if hardcore dems hate trump more than they hated romney or if hardcore pubs hate clinton more than they hated obama. their votes were already assumed.

the twist in the coming election is that so many dems and dem-leaning mods hate clinton and so many pubs and pub-leaning mods hate trump.

Clinton leading Trump in Kansas is surprising.

Hillary's gains in red states are significantly larger than Trump's in blue states though. Possibly enough so to flip a state or two. When combined with Hillary's slight gains in purple states, there is a possibility of a larger electoral college blowout than 2012

I'm not. The Brownback tenure has pushed a significant number of moderate Republicans over the center line.
