Interesting article in the NY Times this morning.

Trump is nothing new.

"Since the election, hate crimes have risen by 115 percent in New York, Mr. Trump’s birthplace and my home since I was fourteen. What happens if the violent incitement of Mr. Trump’s campaign continues into his presidency?"

Wow; an excerpt:

After the Bombay riots, one of his followers told me that Mr. Thackeray had powertoni, their contraction of “power of attorney”: the awesome ability to act on someone else’s behalf, to sign documents, to have people killed. Powerless factory workers in Ohio and coal miners in Kentucky see Mr. Rump as the man with powertoni. Every time your hero, your attorney, humiliates the good and the great, you feel a swell of pride; you feel, in your shabby house with the leaky roof, that you have obtained a measure of power, in Manhattan, in Washington.

Like i said previously, me thinks a grassy knoll could be overlooked by the 17 ( disparaged) Intel agencies come Jan 20th...

It would be appropriate sedition -- in response to a seditionist. (Sigh.)

It would seem that one of Trump's senior advisors, who is a specialist in communications, doesn't know how to make attributions in her 'writings'.

Perhaps she also helped with Melania's speech at the RNC....

"No notes or bibliography" is just the beginning.

I think Rump's team is batting below the Mendoza Line.

Me thinks the trump camp really want push the envelope to see how far they can go until they feel the backlash from his supporters.

My guess is there's still a long way to go.

They could be told that Rump is the certified second coming of Jim Jones and they'd all reach out for a cup.

More MSM lies, I suppose.

And even if true, WHAT ABOUT THOSE OTHER MONTHS????

I look forward to some rabid rebuttals from the usual suspects...

Most of the mouth foaming appears to be from those less than thrilled by D.T's victory.

Doesn't that much plagiarism in one book raise at least some concern regarding an advisor who will be involved in communications?

Nah. Par for the course.

Your Nike reference sent me to The Google / The Wiki and I see that cult disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven...eligious_group) was 18 1/2 years after Jonestown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones.

This again illustrates how Rump is scraping the bottom of the barrel as he and his tremendous/terrific/really smart team casts about for advisors. Scott Baio is waiting for his call.
