Don't know where exactly to put this and it really can't be laid at the feet of The Donald, but I don't know if a speech like this would have been delivered in a more managed year. Vitriol has always been part of the political process (and liberals as well as conservatives have predicted the advent of the end times if the opposing side assumes the mantle of power), but this guy really needs some mood stabilizers.

Per an audience member at Dr. Oz taping with Trump, he said he likes fast food because "at least you know what they are putting in it."

OMFG. You finally did it! You've convinced me. Amazing post. Well done on the persistence.
 
20 Questions for The Donald from Hillary. My question is why haven't the questions been asked of him before?

1. Will you sever ties with your company linked to foreign leaders, questionable organizations, and criminals if you become president?

2. How will you handle non-cancelable contractual obligations with parties whose interests conflict with those of the United States?

3. While refusing to release your tax returns, how will you confirm that you do not have dangerous financial ties to bad actors abroad?

4. If you were willing to work with Qaddafi—a known terrorist and dictator—is there anyone you aren’t willing to make a deal with? Who?

5. How can you be tough on Iran, given your business partnership with someone connected to Iranian money laundering?

6. Given that you’ve already questioned our commitments to NATO allies, what is your answer to this? pic.twitter.com/qp5vMqtcs1

7. To what extent would your foreign policy be dictated by potential financial benefits for your business partners? pic.twitter.com/4Nd9KSdTfi

8. Will you disclose the nature of your personal and business relationships with all of the Russian oligarchs you are “close” to?

9. Have you or your campaign discussed U.S.-Russian relations with the Russian billionaires with whom you’ve done business?

10. How did the Russian mob boss who ran a criminal organization out of Trump Tower get a VIP pass to your Miss Universe pageant in Moscow?

11. With business ties to politically-connected Indian developers, how can you conduct foreign policy that puts the U.S. above your profits?

12. How can we be sure you’d be willing to be tough on any nation if necessary, if it would put your interests and profits at risk?

13. How can we know you won’t (again) impulsively damage relationships with crucial allies to preserve your own ego? https://t.co/j1VtaFhA6C

14. We know you engaged extensively in pay-to-play here at home. Have you bribed foreign officials or other parties abroad?

15. To what extent are you and your family currently contractually tied to payments from foreign business partners, or governments?

16. You’ve mentioned ~120 foreign deals, including in countries with national security implications. Where and with whom are you working?

17. Will your children disclose all of the foreign trips and business deals they’ve undertaken during the campaign, and with whom they met?

18. We’ll let @kurteichenwald ask this one: pic.twitter.com/xnIl6JazS3

19. In sum, how will Trump guarantee that if forced to choose between America’s security and his own bank account, he won’t pick the latter?

20. It’s pretty clear: Trump’s spent his life unscrupulously looking out for his own wallet above all. Why would that change as president?

Dr. Oz Show Edited Out Trump's Remarks about Kissing Ivanka

The editors of "The Dr. Oz Show," whose episode with Donald Trump aired yesterday, edited out a interesting remark that Trump made. He said he kisses his 34-year-old daughter, Ivanka, as often as he can. Earlier this year, he said that if Ivanka were not his daughter, he would like to date her. Despite these edgy remarks about incest, Christian conservatives seem to like the man. Perhaps incest isn't as big a deal as it once was. Or maybe everyone these days is just a big fan of Lot, who, according to Genesis 19:30-38, had relations with both of his daughters. Of course, he was drunk at the time, while Trump is a teetotaler.

Better than I had hoped for. He descended from Heaven in a V-neck sweater. Just think, this portrait could hang in the White House someday.

There was a time when fantasizing aloud about the murder of your opponent would have been beyond the pale — but not anymore. “Absolutely nonsense,” Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, told ABC News when asked if such a message could incite violence.

If Trump’s “let’s see what happens to her” suggestion were a one-off, there might be an argument for giving Trump the benefit of the doubt. The tendency to regard each Trump outrage in isolation is what allows him to become normalized. But look at the comprehensive output of Trump — who freely admitted to the Post that “I bring rage out” in people — there’s no escaping the conclusion that he winks, and sometimes smiles, at political violence.

They don't get the news in Austrailia ?

If you equate... "Hilary is a hypocrite because she wants to take your guns away without getting rid of hers" to "Let's get rid of Hilary's guns so somebody can kill her" than I don't know what to tell you.

Aren't you always complaining about faux outrage?

First off, she doesn't want to take anyone's guns away. You know that
and
In fact (you can look this up in your spare time) his comment was "let's see what happens".

Not a Rhodes scholar , but connecting the dots:
telling a mob that refers to her in C and B words and advocates "kill(ing) her" "lock her up"

a) take her guns away
b) let's see what happens
c) ...
 
“Hey Hillary [Clinton], you might want to ride one of these [guns] into the sunset, you worthless bitch," he added for good measure during that same infamous mid-concert rant in 2007.

....

A new ad released by the Donald Trump campaign features an aging, gun-toting rock star who has repeatedly called for political violence, including for the assassinations of President Barack Obama and Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
