Fat Don’s former campaign chief, now a CNN employee,again questions whether President Obama was born here, and again brings up the ridiculous demand for Obama’s college transcripts:
And this guy is a Trump campaign reject? There are people worse than him still running things? No wonder Trump’s staff is suicidal.
Seriously, the 8-year-old level of pettiness and personal attacks against anyone that challenges Trump coming from the Trump and his surrogates is staggering.
I kind of think all presidential candidates should release their college transcripts. I know I would have liked to see Dubya’s.
No, it’s worse… Lewandowski isn’t just a reject, he is the one who lead Trump to a successful nomination.
The question whether a corporation can be charged with an offence will depend on the law of the country in question, but generally, corporations can be charged with criminal offences.
The leading case on this point in Canada is CBC v R, [1983] 1 SCR 339, where the Supreme Court held that the CBC could be prosecuted for airing an obscene film.
[QUOTE=Estey J for the Court]
There certainly can be no reason in law why the law enforcement agencies should not bring before the criminal court a corporation, however established, or any other person, where the conduct of that person, natural or legal, offends the Criminal Code and is not expressly authorized by Act of Parliament.

Workplace offences are one of the most common areas where a corporation can be charged with an offence: it is the corporation which employs the employees and owns the workplace, and thus can commit an offence under labour standards laws or occupational health and safety laws.
So, turns out, the Trump campaign, in writing, knew that they were renting a space in Columbus that was limited to XX number of attendees, which the Fire Marshal was, by law, required to enforce. Not only that, the Fire Marshal in question? Turns out he is not a Democrat as the Trumpster has been asserting, he is actually a Republican. I guess you can say he is a “law and order” Fire Marshal.
Conservatives have been using the victim card to win elections for years. This is just the culmination. “The fire department is against you! Sad.”
I’d wager that Trump has heard it a lot, but in more intimate settings.
In case anyone was looking for a summary of Trump’s campaign since 8am yesterday, NBC News has you covered:
And I’ll add this: Joe Scarborough reports that Trump, while being advised by a foreign policy expert a few months ago, asked why we couldn’t use nukes if we have them.
Quite the list. And as the NBC link points out, any one of these things would’ve been extremely problematic for a campaign-- and these *all *happened in about a 24-hour period for Fat Don.
So…thirty years ago, Trump and his bodyguards very nearly got into a rumble with the Rolling Stones and their crew:
OK then.
Criticizing Trump can be bad for one’s health, but I suspect that criticizing Trump’s performance in bed would be downright suicidal.
A federal judge has ruled that Trump must face civil trial for fraud in a lawsuit brought by Trump University students.

Since the judge is Mexican, so what? :rolleyes:
I read the transcript of the WaPo interview that **Happy Lendervedder **mentioned above. Holy moly! Trump’s brain doesn’t work right. Read the beginningof it, at least. They ask him a simple question: when did you decide to run? The answer is incredible. I don’t understand how the guy gets anything done. He can’t focus on an idea or finish a thought.
Okay, just read that, and now my head hurts. Wow, word salad. He never once finishes a sentence or thought before sidestepping into another direction. It is incredibly difficult to make sense out of his thought pattern.
But, you have to admit, it’s a somewhat effective way to avoid actually answering the original question. He is the epitome of the “baffle them with bullshit” speaker.
Actually, he was pretty open about it.
Not really, Bush never “released” that information, it was leaked.
MSNBC is running a caption “Trump insiders plotting intervention”.
Do you think he was trying to avoid answering? I can’t think of a reason to avoid answering that simple question. It really seems to me that he can’t turn off the incoherent jumble that I guess we’ll have to dignify by calling them “his thoughts”. At first, he apparently doesn’t even understand the question, because he starts babbling about his announcement and the grand entrance he made. When the reporters guide him back to the question, his answer ends up being over 2,500* words of digressions about his deals, his wife, how much money she made, how much he made for The Apprentice, all culminating in an answer “So it was an evolution.”
I think he is actually mentally ill.
Jesus. :smack: Why does he keep doing those interviews? They always seem to go badly. What does he think he’s getting out of them?
I thought this is oddly interesting. Apparently, Comedy Central did a roast of Trump, and the roastee is allowed to declare some things off limits. Trump, to be fair, was quite open to being roasted allowing such topics as the weirdly incestuous relationship with his daughter and his weight and hair.
The only thing listed as being off the table: “NOT ALLOWED: Any joke that suggests Trump is not actually as wealthy as he claims to be.”
I think the Clinton campaign should just matter of factly drop into conversations that there is no evidence that Trump has accumulated any wealth at all in the past four decades. Just strongly imply that he has no more money than his daddy gave him years ago. He’s not even a billionaire as he claims. Drop this information into speeches and treat them as facts.
Trump is completely incapable of letting this go, but the only way to disprove it would be to release his tax returns, which obviously he can’t do (likely because he isn’t nearly as wealthy as he claims to be and because he paid next to nothing in taxes).
