Don the Con cancels Phoenix event next week

edit- UPDATE
Donald Trump says he's coming to Arizona; state director says he's not
"...
...
Brian Seitchik, Trump’s Arizona state director, who had confirmed cancellation of the event Friday afternoon, could not be reached for comment following Trump's tweet. Trump's national spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, did not respond to the newspaper's request for clarification of the status of the event.

The latest confusion from the campaign reflects mixed messages surrounding the event and others the campaign has canceled in recent days.

" Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has canceled his visit to Phoenix next week, his campaign said Friday.

Trump was scheduled to deliver a speech at a downtown Phoenix hotel on Wednesday. But Brian Seitchik, Trump’s Arizona state director said, “We have postponed next Wednesday’s visit, but we look forward to having another Arizona event scheduled soon."

The campaign provided no explanation for the cancellation. Trump also canceled a Las Vegas rally scheduled for Friday, although the candidate did travel there en route to a fundraiser in northern Nevada. And earlier this week, Trump called off other scheduled events, including in Colorado.

Montini: Arpaio turns criminal contempt referral into ... a fundraising opportunity?

source: AZCentral

" You've got to give him points for originality.

Or for gall.

Or for delusion.

Take your pick. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has decided that Judge Murray Snow's decision to refer Arpaio's civil contempt offenses to the U.S. Attorney's office to consider filing a criminal complaint against him has become a fundraising tool for Arpaio's campaign.

He blames his troubles -- brought on by his own racial profiling policies -- on the ACLU, the justice department and, of course, Obama.

In constitutional legal terms, what does this even mean? Not to mention, the "bad dudes" are...

currently being deported after appropriate proceedings.

CNN

"...
...
Trump said that on his first day in office, he would authorize law enforcement to actively deport "bad dudes," such as those who have committed crimes. But he declined to flatly say whether he would round up other undocumented immigrants, stressing that once the initial deportations occur, "then we can talk."

Great lessons from history that Don the Con never learned. I will start the list...

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Top GOP Congressman Tells Trump To Release His Taxes

source: Huffington Post

"Donald Trumpshould release his tax returns and full medical records, Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Jason Chaffetz (Utah) said Wednesday.

“You’re just going to have to do that, it’s too important,” Chaffetz said on CNN. “If you’re going to run and try to become the president of the United States, you’re going to have to open up your kimono and show everything, your tax returns, your medical records.”

Chaffetz said that the standard applies to both candidates. Clinton has released her 2015 tax return and medical history. Trump has only released a cursory, bombastic letter from his doctor.

So much of the the other crap spewed by Don the Con is meant to distract from his refusal to release even just a couple of critical pages from his tax return. It must be INCREDIBLY DAMNING!!!

Presidential Race Narrows as Donald Trump Closes in on Hillary
Breitbart News-6 hours ago

edit for clarification: So far, all three respondent's have missed the point. The story is, of course, complete nonsense. For Breitbart News to pretend to be a "news" source is preposterously absurd at this point!

Eric Trump: It would be 'foolish' for my dad to release tax returns

source: The Hill

" Eric Trump on Wednesday dismissed arguments that his father, Donald Trump, should release his tax returns, saying doing so would be "foolish."

"You would have a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about," Eric Trump said Wednesday on CNBC.

"It would be foolish to do. I'm actually the biggest proponent of not doing it."

Eric Trump will decide what people need to know in determining who to vote for. Could this possibly be more insane?

Sorry for your loss, but no one else is responsible.

Lawsuit filed by family of Arizona shooting instructor accidentally killed by girl with Uzi

" His death at the hands of a 9-year-old girl holding a Uzi set off a powerful discussion about young children and guns.

In the video, firearms instructor Charles Vacca of Lake Havasu City is standing next to the girl as her parents stand by recording what would be the final moments of his life.

The girl braces the Uzi submachine gun and opens fire at a black-silhouette target off in the distance. The recoil wrenches the full automatic weapon upward and to the left, and Vacca is shot in the head.
