the pivot! the pivot!

“I’d throw him out,” Trump said of Seddique Mateen, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen. “If you look at him, I’d throw him out.” […]

“Whether it’s racial profiling or politically correct, we better get smart,” he said. “We are letting tens of thousands of people into our country. We don’t know what the hell we’re doing.”

In his speech on Thursday, Mr. Trump said that in his administration “every American will be treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally,” echoing a pledge he made on Tuesday outside Milwaukee.

NC Republicans hate voting:
RALEIGH
The N.C. Republican Party encouraged GOP appointees to county elections boards to “make party line changes to early voting” by limiting the number of hours and keeping polling sites closed on Sundays.

County elections boards are developing new early voting schedules in response to a federal court ruling that threw out the state’s voter ID law. In addition to revoking North Carolina’s photo ID requirement, the ruling requires counties to offer 17 days of early voting.

“We believe same-day registration is ripe with voter fraud, or the opportunity to commit it,” he wrote. “Same-day registration is only available during early voting. We are under no obligation to offer more opportunities for voter fraud.”

On Monday, the Mecklenburg County elections board voted to cut the overall number of hours from the 2012 election by 238 – despite calls from most of the speakers at the public hearing who called for increasing hours. The board’s Republican chairwoman said she’s “not a fan of early voting.”

Sunday early voting hours have been popular among African-Americans, some of whom organize “souls to the polls” events where church members vote together after Sunday services.

Counties aren’t required to open early voting sites on Sundays, and Woodhouse lobbied against it.

“Many of our folks are angry and are opposed to Sunday voting for a host of reasons including respect for voter’s religious preferences, protection of our families and allowing the fine election staff a day off, rather than forcing them to work days on end without time off,” he wrote. “Six days of voting in one week is enough. Period.”

This is absurd. Even if you accept the ridiculous assertion that the same poll workers are there all day every day (spoiler: they're not), then have the day off be on a Monday instead of a Sunday. The whole point is to create opportunities for people who cannot take time off of work. Instead, you're reducing the weekend availability.

No, they're not brazen at all in their motives here.

Trump's hoping the voters have amnesia and will forget everything he's said and done before yesterday. Unfortunately, some in the media have fallen for it.

In fairness, it's reasonable to be disappointed when he found out that the "smart" people were Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway.

Shit, very few in the media is willing to point out the absolutely fucked up things that Breitbart has published under Bannon's leadership. They're calling him a "firebrand" instead of outright calling him a racist conspiracy-monger.

This shit kills me. How in the hell can an average American say that life is WORSE for them than it was 50 years ago? (And let's ignore for now the logical fallacy that 45% of Americans between ages 30-49 weren't even alive 50 years ago and rely on hearsay and television/movies to know what life was like in the mid-60s. And hey--the 54% of people aged 50-64 who thought life was better... no shit, you were a child.)

Yes, there are pockets of society that are worse off, especially in the Rust Belt. But on average we have improved access to better medicine, far superior technology, endless entertainment, etc. Yet 47% surveyed say life is worse than it was 50 years ago.

Fucking idiots.
