If Cruz got the nod(all but impossible), I think the Dems would "only" win the White House and the Senate; if Drumpf gets it, however, I see the Dems sweeping all 3. I thought that'd be as good as it gets, but now the GOP is talking about a 3rd party run against him? ROTFLMAO!!!!!! So, have a 3rd party guy siphon off votes from him so that Hillary's win is even MORE assured. What a brain dead, clueless, FUCKED UP party the GOP is...
Post all the dumb fucking pictures you want, Dickwad, when Hillary bitch slaps Drump-or whomever-you can slink back to Limeyland-I can say that, my wife's a Liverpudlian, but she got the message and left there many years ago-and find the Loch Ness Monster, or, whatever the fuck you do when you're not making a fool of yourself discussing the politics of another country.

Rabbis, Jewish leaders plan boycott of Donald Trump at AIPAC

Washington (CNN)Several groups of rabbis and Jewish religious leaders are planning to protest Donald Trump's speech to a major pro-Israel conference in Washington on Monday, accusing the presidential candidate of encouraging hatred.
Trump is scheduled to address the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference Monday night, and several groups are organizing boycotts of the speech.
Rabbis David Paskin and Jesse Olitzky organized one such campaign, called Come Together Against Hate, a play on the conference's theme of "Come Together."
The pair and their allies have created a website and Facebook group to organize a protest that they say is not designed to disrupt AIPAC but to signal their condemnation of Trump.
"This is not about policies, this is not about parties, this is about one particular person, Donald Trump, who has encouraged and incited violence at his campaign rallies," said Paskin, a rabbi in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. "We are against the hatred, the incitement of hatred, the ugliness that has engulfed this political season."

Paskin has organized a group of more than 300 rabbis, cantors and Jewish voters and professionals who plan to signal their distaste for Trump on Monday. He estimated that almost all of those individuals will be at AIPAC.
AIPAC is a pro-Israel lobbying group focused on energizing Americans around strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship and encouraging members of Congress to support its agenda. The annual conference is a key stop for politicians seeking an audience with the influential group and is the largest pro-Israel policy gathering of the year.
An AIPAC spokesman wouldn't comment on the planned protest, but said the group has a "longstanding policy" to invite all the active presidential candidates to its conference during election years as an opportunity to hear from them on the U.S.-Israel relationship.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other groups have also spoken out against Trump's attendance at AIPAC, though they haven't officially announced plans to protest.
The Union for Reform Judaism, representing the largest Jewish denomination in America, put out a statement slamming Trump.
"At every turn, Mr. Trump has chosen to take the low road, sowing seeds of hatred and division in our body politic," said the URJ while noting that it doesn't endorse candidates.
The American Jewish Committee, another large Jewish organization, put out a statement condemning "presidential campaign violence," though it did not specifically name Trump.
"We do not draw analogies to the rise of communism and fascism lightly, but both of those tyrannical movements rose to power replacing democratically elected governments, by virtue of threats of, or actual, violence against their opponents," the AJC said.
Come Together Against Hate's plan is to either skip the speech altogether or silently walk out after Trump is introduced, then assemble outside and study Jewish scripture about what Paskin called the "opposite" of Trump -- love and decency.
"We're hoping thousands of people will join us in that protest," Paskin said. "We're going to be providing the antidote, we believe, to what Donald Trump is espousing."
Paskin said he has reached out to another rabbi, Jeffrey Salkin of Hollywood, Florida, who is planning a similar protest.
Salkin confirmed to CNN that he's organizing a boycott of Trump's speech and calling for rabbis to simply be absent from the room.
He said that while he wants to show that AIPAC is bipartisan and welcomes politicians of both parties, that having Trump speak does not mean the group condones his message.
Citing in part Trump's statements on immigrants, women and refugees, another Israel advocacy group, J Street, put out a statement Thursday declaring that "these factors in our view render Donald Trump unfit to be President of the United States."
The statement added, "Trump and his campaign, driven by racism and hate, are beyond the bounds of acceptability for the vast majority of Jewish Americans."
Trump has been a lightning rod of criticism throughout his campaign for comments he's made and policies he's espoused, including calling for a temporary ban on all foreign Muslims entering the U.S. and blocking Syrian refugees. He's also had a tense relationship with the American Jewish community at times, delivering an awkward address in the fall to the Republican Jewish Coalition and holding positions that have rankled the pro-Israel crowd, such as refusing to pledge that Israel will keep Jerusalem as its undivided capital.
Trump's daughter, Ivanka, is married to a devout Jewish man and observes Jewish customs, which Trump has mentioned on the trail.
Some protesters at his events have begun wearing yellow Stars of David, a reference to the labels forced upon Jews in Nazi Germany leading up to the Holocaust.

Holocaust Badges
The Jews of Europe were legally compelled to wear badges or distinguishing garmets (e.g., pointed hats) at least as far back as the 13th century. This practice continued throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissnace, but was largely phased out during the 17th and 18th centuries. With the coming of the French Revolution and the emancipation of western European Jews throughout the 19th century, the wearing of Jewish badges was abolished in Western Europe.
The Nazis resurrected this practice as part of their persecutions during the Holocaust. Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the Reich Main Security Office, first recommended that Jews should wear identifying badges following the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 9 and 10, 1938. Shortly after the invasion of Poland in September 1939, local German authorities began introducing mandatory wearing of badges. By the end of 1939, all Jews in the newly-acquired Polish territories were required to wear badges. Upon invading the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Germans again applied this requirement to newly-conquered lands. Throughout the rest of 1941 and 1942, Germany, its satellite states and western occupied territories adopted regulations stipulating that Jews wear identifying badges. Only in Denmark, where King Christian X is said to have threatened to wear the badge himself if it were imposed on his country’s Jewish population, were the Germans unable to impose such a regulation.
In November 1939, one year after Kristallnacht, the Nazi government followed the recommendation of leader Reinhard Heydrichand first introduced mandatory ID badges for Jews in Poland. It was announced that "severe punishment is in store for Jews who do not wear the yellow badgeon back and front."

Some Jews are supporting Trump. And some aren't. So Big Fucking Deal.
But the author really blows it here when she writes:
Citing in part Trump's statements on immigrants, women and refugees, another Israel advocacy group, J Street, put out a statement Thursday declaring that "these factors in our view render Donald Trump unfit to be President of the United States."
The statement added, "Trump and his campaign, driven by racism and hate, are beyond the bounds of acceptability for the vast majority of Jewish Americans."
BULLSHIT! Trump is pro-Israel. No one is more anti-Israel than J-Street. J-Street's conception of reality is on par with Bernie Sanders. Were Israel to follow the wishes of J-Street it would disappear quickly.
