> [@running\_coach](#): > > Trump Condoms? Look at those condoms. Are they small? I guarantee you there’s no problem. I guarantee. We are gonna have the biggest condoms. They’ll be huge! The Chinese, the Mexicans, the Muslims, they’re gonna wish they had condoms like ours. Our condoms are gonna be so big, when you’re done using them you’ll be able to fill 'em with trash and take 'em to the curb. I don’t know what size condom Hillary uses, and folks, I don’t wanna know, I really don’t. I can’t imagine, and I don’t wanna try. I’ll tell you one thing, though, I’ll bet you it’s bigger than Bill’s, but I don’t even wanna try. And that’s what we need folks, because the people negotiating our condom deals, they’re totally incompetent. So now I’m gonna take some questions, does anybody wanna ask me about my condoms? ---

Murderers, rapists and some, I assume, were good people, I can tell you that. And Lot let some immigrants stay at his house. They were at his house, and believe me, the good people didn’t like that. So Lot told his liberal daughters to go outside and talk to the good people, real patriots I can tell you that, and the good people told them to get out of town.

You know that, right? He destroyed the cities, you can believe that. And this country is going to be destroyed just like that if we don’t make it great again. I can tell you that, believe me. Oh, and Lot’s wife, who was a 10 from what I hear, she was really hot, didn’t believe the cities were destroyed and she turned into salt. Don’t turn in to salt, make American great again! ---

Bethlehem was a total disaster, it was out of control, it was- look, it was a stronghold of the insurgents, OK. And he went in and killed all the kids. That’s what you have to do.

> [@Batfish](#): > > Bravo! > > Not the part of the story I was thinking about but excellent nonetheless. I guess you thought about this part … I’m afraid I rambled on quite a bit … So Lot and his daughter’s are hanging out in this cave, you know, because they were good people and there were a lot of bad people around. They were all jealous of Lot’s greatness these people and his daughters, oh let me tell you about his daughters. I know about daughters, I have daughters, great daughters, the greatest daughters, so I can understand Lot. Not like Crooked Hillary, she has a daughter, sure, but not a great daughter, a six maybe, or a five, while mine are at least tens, as were Lot’s. So they’re in the mountains, great mountains, great cave, but there are no men, and a woman needs a man, all women need a man, that’s the way of the world. The communists running the media these days may call me anti-woman, but I’m just saying it as it is, a woman needs a man, and Lot’s daughters had no men around, and Lot of course wouldn’t touch them, even if they were elevens. Just like me. I wouldn’t touch my daughters, since I’m married, and oh, their father. But if my wife was turned into salt, and I wasn’t the father thing, but Lot, although his wife had been, you know, turned into a pillar, was their father, so he wouldn’t touch them. Wouldn’t think of it, or maybe think of it, but wouldn’t do it. So they decide to get him drunk, great idea, very American idea, getting drunk is great, isn’t it. So they get him drunk, and he gets them pregnant and they don’t have to do any of that mixing of the races thing and have proper purebred babies. Not that I’m a racist, mind you, that’s just what the media says because I speak my mind and they’re overly preoccupied with facts, but you don’t have to be racist to worry about the plight of decent, white, hardworking, proper Americans, do you? ---

Let me tell you folks, I built that wall around Jericho, and it is the finest wall ever built, and the Hebrews will pay for it, I guarantee it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Hebrews, they are good people, and they love me, it’s true, it’s true. I have so much in common with the Hebrews, so much in common, because they have a lot of shekels, and I have a lot of shekels, oh, you know I have a lot of shekels, so many shekels. But that Joshua guy, he has been very unfair to me, so unfair, you won’t believe how unfair he has been, with all the marching around, day and night, marching. Melania can’t get a wink of sleep from all that horn blowing, get him out of here! I’m telling you, it’s disgraceful, and the Hebrews would be better off without him, look at what he’s done for them, leading them around the desert for 40 years, it’s a disaster, who does that? He’s the worst, isn’t he folks? He’s just the worst, let me tell you. ---

Not only one of the biggest lies, but also a lie designed to divide the country more.

For the killer!” > > ``` > > Josh Marshall: > > > [@](#): > > > > This isn’t getting a lot of attention. But it should…There is no evidence this ever happened.

Even Trump’s campaign co-chair said today that he can’t come up with any evidence that it happened. > > > > ``` > > ....A would-be strong man, an authoritarian personality, isn't just against disorder and violence. They need disorder and violence. That is their raison d'etre, it is the problem that they are purportedly there to solve. The point bears repeating: authoritarian figures require violence and disorder. Look at the language. "11 cities potentially in a blow up stage" ... "Anger. Hatred. Hatred! Started by a maniac!" ... "And some people ask for a moment of silence for him. For the killer." > > > > ``` > > Trump’s explicit race baiting has been so normalized by now that we hardly notice this stuff. This kind of talk from a major-party candidate for president should be front-page news everywhere. Instead, it warrants a few words in various campaign roundups. > > Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, foreigners of all stripes: they’re all grist for Trump’s crusade to convince white voters that they’re surrounded by rapists, murderers, terrorists, and assorted other predators who want to take their jobs away and impoverish them. It’s his whole campaign. I think ABC did manage to find Internet posters elsewhere that did ask for such a thing, but nowhere near the protesters or groups denouncing the violence, best bet is that Trump once again got his sorry idea from the usual neo nazi and racist tweeters that he looks at. **Nutpicking** and lying about such a thing at such level should not be tolerated as this guy will command a lot of power. If the dark parts of the Internet can influence this guy that easy he will be an even more loose cannon than many expect. ---
