And now, going from strength to strength, Trump is questioning Romney’s religion: > [@](#): > > “Are you sure he’s a Mormon?” Trump asked the anti-establishment crowd that jeered at every mention of Romney. “Are we sure? He choked, he choked. It was so sad.” Source: Many, but [CBS News](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-mitt-romney-utah-mormon-election-2016/) The format looks familiar (Birther anyone), but why Trump would, a) question Romney’s religion, and b) do it in Utah, remains a mystery. So much about La Naranja does… ---

Just a funny observation a friend made. Trump will make America bad. Very bad. People will start leaving the country. Then eventually fleeing it. Then Mexico will build a wall. And they will pay for it 🙂 ---

I think some people are going to find out that using force to prevent someone from doing what they think they have the right too might be meet with even more force. And I won’t give a crap. Might even chuckle a bit. ---

> [@jerry\_smissingfinger](#): > > I am just an observer > > You know I am a minority, so once again you are speaking foolishness. At least you are consistent. Well, suffice to say that Joe Arpaio is participating in the Trump Rally in Arizona. The same Joe Arpaio that is being tried for contempt of court by trying to get around the court ordered remedies to his demonstrated racial profiling of minorities. Arpaio also investigated the current wife of the judge in his case in order to intimidate him. **And Trump does not see anything wrong with that.** Of course, one wonders too when will the so called liberal media demand that Trump repudiate Arpaio, it is too late IMHO to stop pretending that Trump does not know who he is getting close to. Before, even with less connections that the one seen with Trump and Arapio, the media criticized Obama so much that he even left his former church and repudiated a preacher from that church that had very controversial ideas. ---

[quote=“GIGObuster, post:177, topic:748959”] Well, suffice to say that Joe Arpaio is participating in the Trump Rally in Arizona. The same Joe Arpaio that is being tried for contempt of court by trying to get around the court ordered remedies to his demonstrated racial profiling of minorities. Arpaio also investigated the current wife of the judge in his case in order to intimidate him. **And Trump does not see anything wrong with that.** Not a Trump supporter or a supporter of any candidate for that matter. I am shocked that a Sheriff would be plagued with corruption, I kid My point for the link was how idiotic and desperate both sides have become. I don’t care which side it is. ---

I don’t care which side it is. [fixed the code] Well, you should care to not vote at least about the side that does consider the laws to be just pieces of paper and to have contempt of the law. Specially if minorities are the target. Trump likes people that also loves torture and are willing to break the law to do so. ---

> [@jerry\_smissingfinger](#): > > My point for the link was how idiotic and desperate both sides have become. I don’t care which side it is. The most reliable sign I’ve seen of someone being a right-wing nutjob is them claiming they’re a “centrist” or “sick of both sides” or similar. I call it the “Both Sides Are Terrible, Therefore Vote Republican” fallacy, which makes up for comprehensibility what it lacks in brevity or use of Latin: It’s the apparent idea that both sides are equally corrupt, based on someone swallowing right-wing talking points whole while being angry at the GOP establishment, so therefore people should vote straight-ticket Republican. The logical contradiction is addressed by… Hey, look over there! Whitewater! Benghazi!
