Conservative Daily Kos Bans Donald Trump from Big Event


As the establishment fully embraces the phony Democrat “war on women” in the latest attempt to stop the momentum of the Trump revolution, those who seek to curry favor with the GOP party bosses are falling over themselves to pitch in. Take for example the conservative website Red State which is soaking up headlines for banning the Donald from their big annual whoop de doo where he was to have been the top guest.

Red State is the flip side of that den of iniquity of the great orange Satan over at Daily Kos. Like it’s yappy liberal sister, Red State has become an American Idol for bloggers as they seek to curry favor with the proprietors who brook no dissenting opinions and have become minor celebrities. I have had some liberal friends who have told me that Markos Moulitsas-Zuniga of DK is about as leftist as Stalin and RS overlord Erick Erikson seems to be his doppelganger on the so-called right. Erikson is a working class hero today – at least if you listen to the lamestream media – for telling Trump to pound sand and inviting poor, victimized Fox News teleprompter queen Megyn Kelly to speak in his place.

The knives are all out now, the story is getting saturation coverage and it has even gone international as World War Trump has now escaped it’s domestic containment. As reported by The Guardian in the story entitled “Donald Trump Banned from Major Event Over Menstruation Jibe at Megyn Kelly”:

Donald Trump has been officially banned from one of the biggest gatherings of conservative activists after implying he received hostile questioning during the first Republican presidential debate because the television moderator was menstruating.

Trump was uninvited from the RedState Gathering late on Friday after saying in a CNN interview that Fox News’s Megyn Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, while questioning him during Thursday night’s debate.

The real estate mogul had been scheduled to appear at a special tailgate at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta at the close of RedState Gathering on Saturday night.
Erick Erickson, the organizer of the event and a major conservative activist tweeted late on Friday night, “I have rescinded my invitation to Mr. Trump. While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far.”

In a follow-up blog post, Erickson amplified why he was disinviting Trump: “there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross,” he wrote. “Decency is one of those lines.”

Times and attitudes have certainly changed for Mr. Erickson when it comes to “decency”. He had once referred to former SCOTUS justice David Souter as a “goat fucking child molester” but such rhetoric isn’t exactly conducive to an upwardly mobile career path and the rewards that come from being a water carrier for the establishment.

With all of the coverage that it’s getting today by the drive by media after Trump was told to stay away, you would think that the RedState Gathering was akin to Jesus Christ’s sermon on the mount instead of a soiree that has much in common with the left’s Netroots Nation fiesta. Both are nothing more than a chance for a bunch of aspiring political operatives, media hacks and bloggers to gather in order to sniff the panties of the powerful in one big, loud, glad-handing circle jerk. Were it not for the war on Trump then the media wouldn’t waste ten seconds on it.

For the record, Trump’s comments about Kelly are somewhat dubious. He never did actually say that she was in fact spraying blood from her glory hole as has been universally reported by the electronic character assassination squads. In an attempt to clarify himself, the Donald has spoken. Reuters reports that “U.S.Candidate Trump Defends 'blood' Comment About Debate Moderator":

Trump, who was leading in polls going into the debate, thought Kelly was unfair in asking him about his previous comments on women.

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump said in a CNN interview on Friday. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

Erickson, who invited Kelly to replace Trump at the RedState conference, said he revoked Trump's invitation because he did not "want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal."

The Trump campaign issued a statement on Saturday, saying, "Mr. Trump made Megyn Kelly look really bad - she was a mess with her anger and totally caught off guard. Mr. Trump said 'blood was coming out of her eyes and whatever' meaning nose, but wanted to move on to more important topics. Only a deviant would think anything else."
Trump also took to Twitter on Saturday to renounce politically correct attitudes, as he had done at the debate.

"So many 'politically correct' fools in our country," he wrote. "We have to all get back to work and stop wasting time and energy on nonsense!"

This country is drowning in political correctness horseshit but I never thought that I would see the day when so-called conservatives would steal the Democrats’ bogus “war on women” shtick and turn it into their own. Just like the botched attack on Trump over his not kissing the feet of “war hero” John McCain his comments are again being distorted. He did not at any time refer to Megyn Kelly’s va va and he is spot on that only a “deviant” would think of that particular body orifice first.

SCOTUS Makes it Official: Democracy For Sale


Two events this past week should provide a wake up call to any who still believe that they really live in a functional democracy - we don't. That much has been apparent to anyone truly paying attention before Citizen's United flipped the latch on the gate and unleashed the pigs to feed. Today's predictable Supreme Court decision in ruling against the cap on campaign donations is more of the same only now it is completely out front that democracy is for sale to the highest bidder. The R-A-T-S being R-oberts, A-lito, T-homas, S-calia and the always phony fifth vote in the media hyped 'divided country' courtesy of Anthony Kennedy proved once and for all that the corporate state is ascendant and that the rest of use are pretty much fucked barring a sudden appearance of a true representative of the people. It ain't going to happen. This should alarm so-called conservatives as well even though the big money comes through admitted Republican sugar daddies like casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and the fake libertarian Koch Brothers but it could also be the much demonized George Soros or a resurgent labor movement and unions. This decision only continues to nullify the actual power of the regular Joe or Jane in terms of being a participant in a representative government.
The second event is of course the garish festival of scumbaggery that took place out west in Nevada at a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coaliton where a parade of prospective 2016 GOP presidential nominees groveled before the billionaire kingmaker that is Adelson who is shopping for a button pusher. As in the nuclear button that will trigger the opening of missile silos across the fruited plain for a nuclear strike on Iran - from the groveling of the whores (no offense to prostitutes) who showed up, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Scott Walker and John Kasich along with a parade of warmongers, neocon lunatics and hangers on there will be WW III if Adelson gets his way and he has the money to do it along with the pocket judges at SCOTUS. That is if sitting President Barack Obama and his own gaggle of neocons don't manage to get us all incinerated first with their ongoing provocation of Russia and Vladimir Putin.
The greater problem than the official rubber stamp on the big EBay auction in Washington is that the majority of Americans have no idea of what is going on, zilch. They are only active participants (outside of the vastly ignorant religious fanatic activists who are riled up by GOP demagogues come election time) in actual presidential elections and of course Dancing With the Stars, American Idol and the Super Bowl MVP vote. They will be the first ones who will be shocked when one day it finally dawns on their dumb asses that their very country has been sold out from under them while they have been sold down the river for chump change.
Adelson being the high-rolling borderline cadaver that he is will get his man or absent that the unprincipled old man will just fly in Hillary Rodham-Clinton and guarantee her the White House, the parasitic neocons did originally spring from the Democrats before attaching themselves to the Republican host. Now that the Democrats have under Obama proven to be the same reckless warmongers, callous violators of civil liberties, defenders of NSA Stasi surveillance on millions of innocent Americans as their more overtly fascist competitors it would be money well spent. Really it would make sense, the flock of GOP aspirants to the throne gets progressively worse as the candidates have to pander to their insane base of racists, armed to the teeth NRA types, religious fanatics and neo-Confederates which makes it harder to win a general election. Hillary would be Adelson's best bet and with the aforementioned Koch Brothers likely backing her opponent it would be a billions of dollars spending arms race that would be the modern equivalent of the great gold rush with media being the biggest winners and the 99 percentile of Americans being the losers - again. Besides, when it comes to starting wars Republicans are pikers, the big wars are presided over by Democrats - Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines Johnson come to mind. Anymore there is very little actual difference between the two parties and big money understands this better than most.
Let the spending spree begin...
