Civil Commotion

As everyone knows by now, Donald Trump huckstered the press into broadcasting an extended commercial for his new hotel and, as it ended, briefly acknowledged that — What do you know? — Barack Obama was born in the United States and his presidency is not illegitimate.

The Congressional Black Caucus responded by saying — at long overdue last — what every responsible member of Congress, every citizen with the barest knowledge of America’s history and ideals, should have said long ago: Donald Trump is a worthless piece of $λ!τ and the Republican Party has degenerated into a national disgrace. Don’t miss this.

Sigh … more Holy Men being Holy Men.

• Arizona pastor molested young children for over three decades, impregnated girl he illegally married

  A perverted Arizona pastor has been arrested for allegedly molesting several children — at one point impregnating a 13-year-old girl he had illegally married in Mexico, prosecutors said.

  Jose Vicente Morales, 49, was arrested Sept. 9 at his Phoenix home after one young accuser’s mother alerted authorities of the pastor’s appalling acts, KNXV-TV reports.

• Fla. child sex sting nets 22 suspects, including Methodist pastor who volunteered in schools

  The men come from any number of backgrounds and range from young to old.

  In the end, Pensacola police said, they were united by a common goal: having sex with minors.

  During a five-day stretch that ended Sunday, all 22 of the men — including a pastor from a Florida church — were dragged down by “Operation Undertow,” an Internet sting in which undercover agents lured suspected child predators via computer to an undisclosed Florida location, police said.

Physical violence against minority protesters, the yelling of homophobic remarks, punching elderly women on oxygen, pepper spraying girls, and yelling racist remarks — all normal among Trump supporters. When will these folks start killing opponents? Be very, very afraid.
