There's always oh-so much to choose from, even when tossing out the evergreen stories that are simply part of the ongoing stream that is Trump. So, throwing our dart at the official Wheel of Trump Dartboard, we come up with this for our topic of the day.
Consider for a moment --
Rudy Giuliani, who is the attorney for the head of the Republican Party, says publicly, while knowing that cameras are on, that Black Lives Matter is "anti-American." If anything speaks to the mind of today's Republican Party, that is it. Yes, I know that "Black Lives Matter" is the name of a specific organization, and that's what he's referring to. I also know, however, that he's speaking to the GOP base, and I've seen very little from him or especially his client sitting in the Oval Office who is head of the Republican Party that doesn't carry that same thought beyond just the organization to the full meaning of the words in general. Black Lives Matter, he says, is "anti-American." To be clear, only to the far-right wing of the Republican Party. Which is pretty much the bulk of the Republican Party these days. And until we hear any outraged disagreement from the remaining part of the GOP, we'll just have to check off that it's close to the full Republican Party, as well. (I like to leave a little wiggle room out of fairness for the few Republicans wandering around in the desert who are mortified.) And that is just SO sick since Republicans like to let you know with great, bursting pride that they are the Party of Lincoln. Sorry, "were." Speaking of great, bursting pride -- I'm glad that this tweet and included footage comes from a third party and not directly from Laura Ingraham, on whose show Giuliani appeared. I say that because I am blocked on Twitter by Laura Ingraham, and would never have seen her tweet otherwise.
