I posted on my Facebook page right after his speech last night and it ended up getting shared a lot so, I just thought I'd repost it here. It takes on a different form of ridiculousness when seeing it in writing. Comedy? Tragedy? Horror? All three? You decide.

In case you missed Trump's stream of consciousness Alabama stump speech, I took notes from beginning to end, much of it verbatim.

1. I love a Billy Graham.
2. Mexicans are scary.
3. My hair is real.
4. Politicians suck.
5. Build a big ol' wall.
6. Jeb sucks, Hillary sucks.
7. Jeff Sessions rules.
8. Mexicans are scary.
9. I'm incredible, my poll numbers are the shit.
10. I can't be bought because I'm super rich.

It's time for elected Democrats to wake up & begin standing up for clear, progressive principles. When Howard Dean was running the DNC, Democrats won back both houses, the base was engaged, his brilliant 50 state strategy paved the way to help Barack Obama to win the White House.
Now, we're seeing nothing but election losses, failed strategies, failed messaging, right wing pandering, corrupted legislation & a demoralized base.
ENOUGH! It's time to put Howard Dean back in.
He knows how to win and what we're up against!

So you'd have to have lived under a rock this week to have not heard all about Rand Paul's epic filibuster and his campaign to protect you from Obama dispatching drones to blow you up while having a frappachino at your neighborhood Starbucks.
His PR stunt was such a success that folks like Jon Stewart & John Cusack bought into it's narrative. The problem is, it was fabricated, hyperbolic horse shit. Rand launched a faux populist campaign based on something that never existed. Yesterday PolitiFact found Rand's statement that "The president is advocating a drone strike program in America." to be completely FALSE.
READ FOR YOURSELVES: http://www.politifact.com/...

Brennan had offered a similar explanation in response to lawmakers’ questions before his February hearing.

A senator had asked, "Could the administration carry out drone strikes inside the United States?"

Brennan’s reply: "This administration has not carried out drone strikes inside the United States and has no intention of doing so."

I saw possibly the most ridiculous counter argument for background checks on firearms yet while watching a local news station this evening. I had to rewind it and watch it a few times to makes sure I heard correctly. During a press conference held by the spokesman for an organization called, the "Wisconsin Pro Gun Movement" (an NRA affiliate group) this man goes on to explain how background checks are a bad idea for Wisconsin because hunters won't be able to leave their guns in someone else's hands while "nature calls."
The downward spiral of nonsensical, non sequitur, desperate idiocy of the NRA has reached total hilarity.
Anyway, see for yourselves as I've uploaded the footage below. Enjoy!

Mitt Vs. Barack, this pretty much sums it up.

I saw this picture in my newsfeed today, and I thought it pretty much summed up what these two campaigns are about.

Actions speak louder than words.

Anyone need a silver lining, I mean like a real silver lining?? Well, I got a big one to share with you....Wisconsin Democrats have taken control of the state senate!
Yes it's true, while we were licking our wounds from being outspent 10 to 1, John Lehman (D-Racine) narrowly defeated rethug incumbent Van Wanggaard!

Sorry for the short diary as I'm on my way out the door to my nephew's championship baseball game but, I had to blast this out quick.
HufPo has a nice little ditty up about various Green Bay Packers who've been speaking out urging voters to vote out Scott Walker.

The latest PPP poll just released tonight shows Tom Barrett closing the gap on Scott Walker. Now that we're nearing Tuesday, it's just what the right wing feared....this thing is down to the wire, it's neck & neck folks! It's anybody's race, make no mistake about it.

So the Barrett campaign just released a new video yesterday titled, "Behind the Recall: The Rise and Fall of Scott Walker"
It's very clever, entertaining, humorous and most importantly devastating to Scott Walker.
It's roughly a five minute documentary, stylized in the fashion of VH1's infamous "Behind The Music" template.

I didn't see this anywhere else on Daily Kos, if I missed it let me know and I'll gladly remove my entry.
This just in from Chris Bowers to Wisconsin Kossaks:

Steven, last week, tens of thousands of activists like you appealed to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to start sending financial resources to help win the Wisconsin recall elections. Your appeals were successful, as the DNC just sent a fundraising email supporting the recalls to millions of their members.
Their help could not come at a better time. A new internal poll from the Tom Barrett campaign shows him pulling to within just 3 points of Scott Walker, and actually leading among independents. That means that if we can get the Democratic base in Wisconsin to turn out, then we will recall Scott Walker on June 5.

Looks like all those calls, emails, blog entries, comments have started to pay off...the pressure we've been putting on the DNC is working.

I just watched some REALLY disturbing footage out of Occupy Wall Street that went down apparently from 10/5...the posted footage is labeled as being from tonight, so the edits have been made accordingly. Bully cops recklessly beating the shit out of passive protestors half their size. The nightsticks are out in full effect now... Following this horrendous display, the protestors inspiringly respond by chanting loudly and clearly, "WE-ARE-THE 99%!"
MAKE IT VIRAL.

Astronautagogo here, reporting to you very sick & uninsured.
Exactly the age and situation teapublicans wished would just die.
If I get better, you bet your ass i'll be back out the fighting against the plutocracy with all my will & might....harder than ever before.
DON'T STOP THE FIGHT! For you, for me, for the future, for your fellow man. That is all..

UPDATE: I've just been informed that this footage may have been from 10/5. If this is true, my humble apologies. I just came across the video on FB and it was titled from 10/13. I did not post this footage to YouTube. Either way, alot of people obviously haven't seen this footage. It shouldn't matter if it was on 10/5 or 10/13, it's still just as horrific and needs to be seen by as many folks as possible.
For those of you troll rating me for this mistake, gee way to pick your battles...please consider, this is new intense footage of the event that hasn't been seen by hardly anyone. Peace.

Scott Walker Gets A Warm WI State Fair Welcome..

Hey y'all, just thought i'd share with you something extraordinary & inspiring that happened earlier today at Wisconsin State Fair's opening day...

Not one sentence of Walker's opening day speech was even close to being audible, thanks to outraged Wisconsin teachers, families & well...most folks at the fair really...
