Simple fact: How about we call Trump "That German!" As he called out that "Mexican" or "Chinese" That Kenya President Obama (born in Kenya?) --

Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories - Wikipedia, the free ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/.../Barack_Obama_citizenship_conspir...
Born in Kenya - Some opponents (Trump leads the effort, with $5 million reward) of Obama's presidential eligibility claim that he was born in Kenya and was therefore not born a United States ...

Haa? Not you, as you're American - but not in his eye, even you're born in America like federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel - Trump called  federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel a "hater," questioned his ability to fairly oversee a lawsuit targeting Trump University and suggested, cryptically, "they ought to look into Judge Curiel."

The Indiana-born judge is "a Mexican," Trump has said repeatedly, painting Curiel as a vengeful, intemperate bench presence.

You, not a chance - You're kidding! No, I'm not. Read if you'll -

Is it he only called American? For God sake, -- get the facts straight, ask yourself? Who's doing un-American?

America is all about inclusiveness, freedom to speak - strength we all admire and came for - What's the heckuva of Trump - anti-America !

中國作家劉亞洲說，“美國是由千千萬萬不愛自己的祖國的人組成的國家、但他們都很愛美國。”他說得很準確。 　　 　　

美國人非常愛國，是全世界最愛國的一群人，但他們卻不是民族主義份子。這絕不僅是因為美國由各種民族組成，而是因為美國人“愛國”的內容是愛“自由”。美國是最自由的國家，所以他們才愛。在自由這個概念裏麵，沒有血源、沒有種族、沒有宗教、沒有群體。所以說，美國人愛國的核心是愛“自由的價值”。 　　 　　
 
美國沒有民族主義，也可以有“國家主義”嗬，但美國也沒有。你看美國人從來不會為贏了或輸了一場和“外國”的體育比賽而全國歡騰，或全國暴怒。但是，當美國運動員勝利、美國國旗高高升起的時候，美國人也會很高興、很激動，因為他們熱愛那麵護衛著他們的“自由”的旗幟；而不僅僅是一麵代表土地、血緣、民族和國家的旗幟，因為： 　　 　　對土地的愛是有盡頭的，如果那塊土地使你遍體鱗傷； 　　 　　對血緣的愛是有盡頭的，如果血緣帶來的苦難多於幸福； 　　 　　對民族的愛是有盡頭的，如果你的所謂偉大的民族把你變成渺小的個人； 　　 　　對國家的愛是有盡頭的，如果你的號稱強大的國家要你犧牲做它的奴仆。 　　 　　
 
我想無數遍強調的是：人們對美國的愛，既不是對土地的愛（哪裏都有美麗的山河），也不是對血緣的愛（哪個人種都有俊男美女）；既不是對民族的愛（哪個民族都有自己驕傲的特色），更不是對國家的愛（獨裁者的天下總有最大的愛國理由）。熱愛美國，是對自由的愛。而一個人，隻有對自由的愛才會永不疲倦、永無盡頭！所以，捍衛美國，是捍衛“我自己”的自由——在一個人所有的動力中，沒有比捍衛自己的自由更大的動力。所以，盡管艱難，自由在一路地勝利。(Who wrote this? - check it out yourself) -- Haah: (2016-06-06 11:03:57) 王朔:一群不愛自己祖國的人為什麽會愛美國？美國人愛國的核心是愛“自由的價值”)

Cuban also called Trump’s racialized criticism of the judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University “pretty sad.”

“I mean, it’s trying to intimidate a judge for any reason is ridiculous, particularly the position he’s in right now,” Cuban said. “It’s more a reflection on Donald. And the reality is, the lawsuits with Trump University go back long before Donald decided to run for president. You know, it’s a Hail Mary on Donald’s part because he knows he’s wrong. It’s a sad reflection on him.”

Donald Trump says judge in university court case biased by 'Mexican heritage'

Judge Gonzalo Curiel accused of ‘conflict of interest’ in fraud case, while report suggests Trump donated to officials who dropped action against the university.

CNN)Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has called federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel a "hater," questioned his ability to fairly oversee a lawsuit targeting Trump University and suggested, cryptically, "they ought to look into Judge Curiel."

The Indiana-born judge is "a Mexican," Trump has said repeatedly, painting Curiel as a vengeful, intemperate bench presence.
 
But a simple review of Curiel's public record quickly undermines -- if not outright debunks -- Trump's repeated allegations. And lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, legal experts and civil rights advocates have all denounced Trump's rhetoric.
Curiel himself has remained quiet, his office citing the judicial code of conduct. His brother, Raul Curiel, told CNN: "I know my brother is not taking it seriously. Some other people might ... I think Trump feels that this division is working in his favor but he's actually creating the bigger division as we speak."
Here are five things to know about the federal judge now at the center of GOP standard-bearer's latest round of headline-grabbing attacks.

1. Mexican drug cartel target

Before he was first appointed to a state-level judgeship in 2006, Curiel worked as a federal prosecutor in Southern California with a focus on drug cases -- and with them, the Mexican cartels.
In the late 1990s, Curiel's efforts to extradite a pair of alleged cartel gunmen to Mexico put him directly in the traffickers' crosshairs. The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that, according court documents, "a top lieutenant in the Arellano Felix drug trafficking cartel" told another inmate he planned to have "Curiel assassinated and that he had requested and received permission from the leaders of the Arellano cartel."
Curiel was quickly provided a security detail, including bodyguards who traveled with him until the threat passed. He would go on to serve, between 1999 and 2002, as the lead attorney for the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.
"During this period, he led an investigative unit of more than 20 federal agents and four assistant U.S attorneys that successfully extradited and prosecuted leaders, assassins and members of the infamous Arellano-Felix drug cartel," Sen. Barbara Boxer's office said in a statement following his 2011 nomination to the federal court.
In 2012, Sen. Richard Blumenthal introduced Curiel at his confirmation hearing, touting the judge's "extraordinary experience" and decades in the courtroom.
"One of the most significant cases involved the successful prosecution of the Arellano Felix drug cartel, a multi billion-dollar drug trafficking ring responsible for more than 100 murders in the United States and Mexico," he said.

2. Schwarzenegger's pick

"The judge was appointed by Barack Obama," Trump told supporters during a lengthy San Diego speech on May 27, the day Curiel ordered the release of documents related to the Trump University lawsuit.
But Curiel's journey from prosecutor to the bench began long before President Barack Obama's nomination arrived in November 2011. Then-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, appointed Curiel in 2006 to the state superior court, where he spent six years before ascending to the federal court.

3. Sons of immigrants: Curiel and Trump

"My parents came here from Mexico with a dream of providing their children opportunities," Curiel said in his introduction to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2012. "And they've been able to do that with the opportunities that this country has to offer."
The future federal judge was born in East Chicago, Indiana, in 1953. His parents, both immigrants from Jalisco, Mexico, were naturalized citizens.
Curiel's brother, Raul, told The New York Times his father first entered the country as a laborer in Arizona in the 1920s. That would mean Curiel's father was actually in the U.S. before Trump's own mother (she arrived in the 1930s), who -- like Curiel's -- became a citizen herself after marrying his father.
"My concern is that (Trump's attacks are) hurting other people. It's hurting our image as sons of immigrants. It hurts our people in general," Raul Curiel said in interview with CNN on Monday. "Being a Hispanic, it hurts these kinds of things. It doesn't hurt me personally. And I don't think it hurts my brother personally. We're above those kinds of things."

4. Indiana, born and raised

Curiel grew up, attended college, and began his professional life in the state of Indiana.
A 1976 graduate of Indiana University, he stayed in Bloomington for law school, entering private practice in Dyer, a city just outside his hometown, three years later. Curiel would spend seven years there, before eventually moving to Monterey, California, to continue his private work in 1986.
He joined the federal prosecutor's office for the Southern District of California in 1989, eventually being promoted to assistant U.S. attorney in 2002.

5. 'I'm not there to make the law'

Trump has sought to undermine Curiel's propriety by suggesting he could not separate personal politics from the law of the land. But an exchange from the judge's 2012 confirmation hearing with Sen. Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, suggests Curiel takes a more measured view of his current role.
How did Curiel, Blumenthal asked, "see the role of a district judge versus the appellate court?"
"As a trial judge I recognize that I'm not there to make the law," Curiel said. "I'm not there to interpret the law, I'm there to follow the law as established by the precedent of our Supreme Court."

Donald Trump has stepped up his attack on the federal judge presiding over the Trump University fraud case, telling the Wall Street Journal that Gonzalo Curiel’s assignment to the case represents “an absolute conflict” because he is “of Mexican heritage”.

“I’m building a wall,” Trump said, of his proposed 2,000-mile barrier along the US-Mexico border with the stated goal of preventing undocumented immigrants from entering the country. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s statements follow a speech in San Diego last week in which he lambasted Curiel as “a hater of Donald Trump” and “a total disgrace”.

Trump attacks judge overseeing Trump University case

“They ought to look into Judge Curiel,” Trump declared at the time, “because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace.” Trump also asserted that the Indiana-born Curiel “happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great”.

Curiel was born in Indiana, to parents who came from Mexico.

Soon after Trump’s comments to the Wall Street Journal were published, the candidate himself was implicated in questions of official impartiality on the Trump University case. A report from the Associated Press published on Thursday evening revealed that the presumptive Republican nominee donated tens of thousands of dollars to attorney generals who declined to pursue fraud charges against the now defunct organization.

Trump donated $35,000 to the gubernatorial campaign of Greg Abbott, then Texas attorney general – a campaign that was ultimately successful – after Abbott’s office dropped a 2010 investigation into Trump University’s “possibly deceptive business practices”.

Florida’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, who endorsed Trump the day before the crucial primary in that state, reportedly declined to join New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman’s multi-state fraud suit against the organization after the Donald J Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political action committee supporting her re-election campaign.

Trump is facing three class action lawsuits against Trump University over allegations of fraud. Trump denies all the charges and has vowed to fight them in court.

The notion that judges cannot rule on cases involving religious, racial or other minorities of which they are members is universally discredited in the American legal system.

The question was notably addressed in 1994, when Judge Michael Mukasey denied a motion from Omar Abdel Rahman and El Sayyid Nosair, suspects in a terrorist plot, to recuse himself because of his Jewish faith.

Mukasey declared that such a recusal would “disqualify not only an obscure district judge such as the author of this opinion, but also [supreme court justices] Brandeis and Frankfurter … each having been both a Jew and a Zionist”.

Republican candidate for senate Ryan Frazier has an interesting line of attack against Washington elites in a new ad, in which entrenched congressional inaction is compared to a zombie apocalypse.

“They just keep coming at us - devouring our freedoms and tax dollars,” Frazier intones in the ad, as low-rent zombies hiss and growl at the camera. Who, exactly?

“The Washington elite: The walking deadheads.”

Described in the ad as a “naval intelligence veteran, business leader, outsider, [and] zombie hunter,” Frazier pledges to “fight a corrupt system” if he is elected to the senate. Presumably, with a machete.

Maine Republican senator Susan Collins has issued a statement condemning presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s racialized criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presides over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University.

“Donald Trump’s comments on the ethnic heritage and religion of judges are absolutely unacceptable,” Collins said. “His statement that Judge Curiel could not rule fairly because of his Mexican heritage does not represent our American values. Mr. Trump’s comments demonstrate both a lack of respect for the judicial system and the principle of separation of powers.”

Trump has repeatedly stated that Curiel’s assignment to the case represents “an absolute conflict” because he is “of Mexican heritage”.

“I’m building a wall,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal, of his proposed 2,000-mile barrier along the US-Mexico border with the stated goal of preventing undocumented immigrants from entering the country. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

Collins, a moderate Republican, has said that she will support Trump’s presidential bid.

Texas congressman to Donald Trump: 'Take your border wall and shove it up your ass'

Congressman Filemon Vela, a Texas Democratic, has published a blistering open letter to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling him a racist and telling the real estate tycoon that “you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass.”

“Your ignorant anti-immigrant opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable,” Vela wrote. “Your position with respect to the millions of undocumented Mexican workers who now live in this country is hateful, dehumanizing, and frankly shameful.”

Filemon, who represents the heavily Latino Texas 34th congressional district on the Gulf Coast, tells Trump that he has “descended to a new low in your racist attack of an American jurist,” referring to Trump’s racialized criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presides over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University.

“Before you dismiss me as just another ‘Mexican,’ let me point out that my great-great grandfather came to this country in 1857, well before your own grandfather,” Vela writes.

“I would like to end this letter in a more diplomatic fashion, but I think that you, of all people, understand why I cannot,” he concludes. “I will not presume to speak on behalf of every American of Mexican descent, for every undocumented worker born in Mexico who is contributing to our country every day or, for that matter, every decent citizen in Mexico. But, I am sure that many of these individuals would agree with me when I say: ‘Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass.’ ”

Former presidential half-brother - and potential future presidential brother-in-law - Roger Clinton has been arrested in Southern California for driving under the influence, according to TMZ.

On Sunday, just two days before the California Democratic primary, Clinton was reportedly booked for driving under the influence in the Los Angeles suburb of Redondo Beach. He reportedly remains in police custody with his bail set at $15,000.

It’s not Clinton’s first run-in with the law. Known by the Secret Service during his brother’s presidential campaign as “Headache,” Clinton was granted a presidential pardon by his half-brother in 2001 for a 1985 cocaine possession conviction.

Online entertainment and news titan Buzzfeed has cancelled an advertising agreement with the Republican National Committee, citing the “offensive” rhetoric of the party’s presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who is “directly opposed to the freedoms of our employees in the United States and around the world.”

The Republican National Committee signed an agreement with BuzzFeed in April to spend “a significant amount on political advertisements” set to run during the fall campaign season, wrote Buzzfeed founder and CEO Jonah Perretti in an email to Buzzfeed staff.

But since Trump’s rise, Perretti said, the candidate’s positions have become “hazardous” to Buzzfeed’s readers and employees. “Trump advocates banning Muslims from traveling to the United States, he’s threatened to limit the free press, and made offensive statements toward women, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and foreign nationals,” Perretti wrote.

That’s why “earlier today Buzzfeed informed the RNC that we would not accept Trump for President ads and that we would be terminating our agreement with them,” he continued. “The Trump campaign is directly opposed to the freedoms of our employees in the United States and around the world and in some cases, such as his proposed ban on international travel for Muslims, would make it impossible for our employees to do their jobs.”

Politico reports that the deal was worth $1.3 million.

“We certainly don’t like to turn away revenue that funds all the important work we do across the company,” he concluded. “However, in some cases we must make business exceptions: we don’t run cigarette ads because they are hazardous to our health, and we won’t accept Trump ads for the exact same reason.”

David French’s longshot independent bid for the White House is over before it even began.

The National Review columnist, whose name was put into contention as a possible anti-Donald Trump conservative candidate by Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, has declared in an article for his magazine that “after days of prayer, reflection, and serious study of the possibilities, I am not going to run as an independent candidate for president of the United States.”

French had been courted by conservatives unsatisfied with the nomination of Donald Trump to run as a possible spoiler candidate. But, French reasoned, “given the timing, the best chance for success goes to a person who either is extraordinarily wealthy (or has immediate access to extraordinary wealth) or is a transformational political talent.”

Since French is a relatively unknown lawyer who doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page, much less a record of holding public office, “it is plain to me that I’m not the right person for this effort.”

Donald Trump: Criticism from Newt Gingrich 'inappropriate'

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told Fox News this morning it was “inappropriate” for former House speaker Newt Gingrich to criticize his racialized attacks on a federal judge in the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University. Trump’s remarks perhaps put a damper on rumors that the one-time Georgia congressman is being vetted as a potential running mate.

“You have to respond,” Trump said, of his public criticism of district court judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose impartiality in the case is questioned by Trump because of his Latino heritage. “All I’m trying to do is figure out why I’m being treated so unfairly by a judge.”

Gingrich suggested on Fox News Sunday that Trump’s line of attack was unbefitting a presidential nominee, calling his remarks “inexcusable” and Trump’s “worst mistake”.

“Trump has got to, I think, move to a new level,” Gingrich said. “This is no longer the primaries. He’s no longer an interesting contender. He is now the potential leader of the United States and he’s got to move his game up to the level of being a potential leader.”

Last week, Trump told the Wall Street Journal Curiel’s assignment to the case represented “an absolute conflict” because he is “of Mexican heritage”.

“I’m building a wall,” Trump said, of his proposed 2,000-mile barrier along the US-Mexico border, supposed to prevent undocumented immigrants from entering the country. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

Before the row, Gingrich’s prospects of joining the Republican presidential ticket were expected to get a boost from megadonor Sheldon Adelson, according to three conservatives with links to Gingrich or the casino billionaire. Adelson has pledged $100m to back Trump’s White House bid – and the sources familiar with Adelson and Gingrich told the Guardian that they thought close ties between the two men should help the former House speaker’s chances.

“Given Adelson’s respect for Newt and that Gingrich encouraged Adelson to back Trump, it would make sense that Adelson has been pushing Gingrich for vice-president,” said one senior Republican operative who talks to Gingrich fairly often.

There may however be trouble in paradise already.

Donald Trump may be a billionaire, according to entrepreneur and football châtelain Mark Cuban - but there’s no way he’s worth as much as he says he is.

“You know, I think if it all came down to it, yes, because the price of New York real estate has just sky-rocketed over the last five years,” Cuban told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on New Day. “You know, assuming he hasn’t had to keep on borrowing because he has had liquidity issues then, yeah, I would give him credit for being a billionaire. But is he worth ten billion? Nah.”

Cuban also called Trump’s racialized criticism of the judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University “pretty sad.”

“I mean, it’s trying to intimidate a judge for any reason is ridiculous, particularly the position he’s in right now,” Cuban said. “It’s more a reflection on Donald. And the reality is, the lawsuits with Trump University go back long before Donald decided to run for president. You know, it’s a Hail Mary on Donald’s part because he knows he’s wrong. It’s a sad reflection on him.”

Top Republicans knock Donald Trump over judge comments 02:03







Story highlights
Vulnerable Republican Sen. Mark Kirk said he cannot support his party's presumptive nominee
Kirk criticized Donald Trump's comments regarding an American judge of Mexican descent




Washington (CNN) — Republican Sen. Mark Kirk said Tuesday that Donald Trump "does not have the temperament" to hold the job of president, saying he "cannot and will not support" the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

It was sharp criticism from an incumbent who had previously insisted he would support the GOP nominee.



The Illinois Republican, who faces a tough challenge this November from Illinois Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, tweeted Tuesday that based on his background in the military, he does not have faith in Trump to lead.

"Given my military experience, Donald Trump does not have the temperament to command our military or our nuclear arsenal," Kirk wrote.



Kirk, who told CNN that he would write in former CIA director David Petraeus this fall, followed up with a statement saying he objects to Trump's recent comments about a federal judge's Mexican heritage.







"I find Donald Trump's belief that an American-born judge of Mexican descent is incapable of fairly presiding over his case is not only dead wrong, it is un-American," Kirk said.

RELATED: Donald Trump looms large in Illinois Senate race

Trump said in a statement Tuesday that his comments had been "misconstrued" by the media.

"I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent," Trump said in his statement. "The American justice system relies on fair and impartial judges. All judges should be held to that standard. I do not feel that one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial," Trump said in a statement his campaign released Tuesday afternoon."

Kirk added in his statement that he had hoped Trump would tone down his rhetoric.

"While I oppose the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump's latest statements, in context with past attacks on Hispanics, women and the disabled like me, make it certain that I cannot and will not support my party's nominee for President regardless of the political impact on my candidacy or the Republican Party," Kirk said.

The rebuke of Trump was a departure from Kirk's earlier position on the mogul. Before Trump had solidified his place as the presumptive nominee, Kirk told CNN that he would "certainly" back Trump if he were the party's nominee and even said running alongside Trump on the ticket might be beneficial to his race.

RELATED: GOP's awkward Trump embrace

Kirk's Democratic opponent was quick to jump on him for the tweet. Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran who lost her legs in conflict, spun Kirk's tweet back around.

"Given my military experience, Mark Kirk doesn't have the temperament to be our Senator," Duckworth tweeted, linking to a new campaign site that links Kirk to Trump with a quiz asking who said which quote.

Kirk served in the Navy Reserves for 24 years.

“Dilbert” creator and commentary writer Scott Adams gave a halfhearted endorsement of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, saying he fears her supporters might otherwise try to murder him.

“I’ve decided to come off the sidelines and endorse a candidate for President of the United States,” the 58-year-old cartoonist wrote on his popular blog Sunday night, a day before the Associated Press reported that Mrs. Clinton reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination. “I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety.”

Mr. Adams, who has previously lauded Mr. Trump for his persuasion skills, explained that Mrs. Clinton’s supporters have “convinced” him that his safety would be at risk if he was viewed as supportive of Mr. Trump.

“This past week we saw Clinton pair the idea of President Trump with nuclear disaster, racism, Hitler, the Holocaust, and whatever else makes you tremble in fear,” Mr. Adams wrote. “Her new scare tactics are solid-gold persuasion.

“The only downside I can see to the new approach is that it is likely to trigger a race war in the United States. And I would be a top-ten assassination target in that scenario because once you define Trump as Hitler, you also give citizens moral permission to kill him,” he explained. “And obviously it would be okay to kill anyone who actively supports a genocidal dictator, including anyone who wrote about his persuasion skills in positive terms. (I’m called an ‘apologist’ on Twitter, or sometimes just Joseph Goebbels).

“So I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety. Trump supporters don’t have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I’ll be safe from that crowd,” Mr. Adams argued. “But Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

川普把目前美國的問題歸根於外國人，移民，自由貿易，政府的軟弱，如同希特勒把德國的問題歸因於猶太人，魏瑪政府，國際反德聯盟。所以川普得出解決問題的辦法也很希特勒類似：全麵遣返非法移民（希特勒是全麵解決猶太人問題），建立強大的政府（希特勒是德國納粹化），對外國尤其是中國的產品增收45%關稅（希特勒是斷絕和西方國家的貿易），煽動底層白人（希特勒是煽動被一戰和魏瑪政府失敗經濟侵害的德國普通人），American great again（希特勒恢複日耳曼帝國的輝煌），鄙視精英（希特勒焚書，迫害知識分子），仇恨媒體監督（希特勒消滅自由媒體）。



反移民，反自由貿易，煽動民粹，蔑視精英，反對媒體監督這一切都足夠說明：川普是個現代的希特勒。
