Day: December 2, 2015

According to early reports from police, at least one gunman shot as many as 20 people at a conference center in San Bernadino, California. A specific yet unknown organization was holding a meeting at the conference center and was specifically targeted. It's unclear how many people were fatally wounded. I have heard 12 or 13. There might have been multiple shooters. Reports say that one of the shooters or the shooter was dressed in heavy military armor and left the scene in a black SUV.

The headline above is pure bullshit and yet Bernie supporters are starting to believe it. All I can say is that if Bernie fails to win the nomination, and then fails to rally the fuck out his supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton, and liberal Democrats stay home, we are screwed. So screwed that it will be a century before we can even think about being unscrewed.

Dana Millbank: “Let’s not mince words: Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist. Some will think this an outrageous label to apply to the frontrunner for a major party’s presidential nomination. Ordinarily, I would agree that name-calling is part of what’s wrong with our politics.” “But there is a greater imperative not to be silent in the face of demagoguery. Trump in this campaign has gone after African Americans, immigrants, Latinos, Asians, women, Muslims and now the disabled… It might be possible to explain away any one of Trump’s outrages as a mistake or a misunderstanding. But at some point you’re not merely saying things that could be construed as bigoted: You are a bigot.”
