Politico: Trump’s mob-linked ex-associate gives $5,400 to campaign

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-russia-felix-sater-227434

A Russian-born, mafia-linked businessman whose ties to both Donald Trump and loyalists of Russian President Vladimir Putin have sparked scrutiny, visited Trump Tower last month for undisclosed business, he told POLITICO.

The businessman, Felix Sater, also donated the maximum allowable contribution to Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the campaign’s most recent FEC filing.

Sater, whose firm co-developed a major Trump project in New York and who was later hired by Trump to drum up business in the former USSR, has said that he closely associated with Trump and his family, while Trump has suggested he wouldn’t even recognize Sater.

Sater told POLITICO that he has not seen the candidate recently and that the purpose of his visit to Trump Tower last month is “confidential.” Sater declined to say whether he’s had recent contact with the Trump Organization or Trump’s children. “I don’t see the relevance of that,” he said.


But the real scandal is that Hillary met with a Nobel Laureate who donated to a charity, right?

The M$M needs to bring on some African American surrogates to combat the AA speakers paid by Trump.

As an AA democrat, I'm appalled that the M$M is dedicating so much time to these paid shills that have the nerve to bolster a party lead by a white supremacist, without bringing anyone on to fight back.

Hell, MSNBC has no excuse when Joy Ann Reid is probably in the studio.

Trump threatens to 'tell the real story' about Morning Joe 'clowns'

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-blasts-morning-joe-227258#ixzz4I3qZ8WOT

He's "back!" (Let's be real, he was never gone.) Someone needs to make sure Andrea Mitchell is ok.

Donald Trump laced into the hosts of MSNBC's morning show anew on Monday, accusing one of co-hosts of being "neurotic" and a "mess" and both of them as being "two clowns."

"Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!" Trump tweeted Monday, referring specifically to Mika Brzezinski, in response to the first hour and 20 minutes of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Minutes after his initial tweet, Trump offered another personal broadside.

"Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns!" Trump tweeted, a day after campaign manager Kellyanne Conway insisted that he "doesn't hurl personal insults."

Anyone else notice the uptick of Trump supporters taking credit for the 14th and 15th amendment?

Apparently, African American Democrats like myself didn't know that before the white supremacist/alt-right retweeting Trump reminded white people of our total poverty and utter failures last week.

Saw this more than a view times today.

Joy Reid and the Panel vs. Gilmore

Did anyone else just catch that segment? It was explosive. Paraphrasing.

Gilmore: The Clinton Foundation is the bigger scandal.
Joy: It wasn't illegal and she was not running it.
Gilmore: Legality doesn't matter.
Walsh: Her husband ran the foundation.
Joy: You can't try to pin someone for something as if it was illegal and then scream legalities don't matter.

Gilmore: The economy is a wreck.
Joy: No, here's the facts on the growth.
Gilmore: That's not enough.
Joy: It's never enough for you.

Gilmore: Trump is going to create opportunities for African Americans.
Smith: Can you tell me some of the specific plans that Trump has for AAs.
Gilmore: No, he'll take care of everyone.


Jim Gilmore is a mess and Joy Ann Reid should be the new host of Meet the Press.

Trump's Dystopian TV Ad Cites Anti-Immigrant Group's Attack On DACA/DAPA

In case you checked out during Maddow's monologue. This is what she's talking about except she dug into CIS and it's founder's even worse history.

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/trumps-dystopian-tv-ad-cites-anti-immigrant-groups-attack-dacadapa

Donald Trump is out with his first TV ad of the general election, and it’s predictably despicable: an image of “Hillary Clinton’s America” being flooded with refugees and “illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes” while “the system stays rigged against Americans.” The ad has drawn comparisons to the infamous anti-immigrant ad that California Gov. Pete Wilson ran in 1994 as he was trying to push through a ballot measure imposing draconian penalties on undocumented immigrants.

So Hugh Hewitt is back on Team Trump.

He's going full in for Trump on MSNBC right now.

Also, this Outreach to AA voters is bullshit. It's not outreach if you don't go speak to AA voters.

Trump is supposed to start airing ads this Friday, how horrible do you think they will be?

If they're anything close to his rhetoric, we are going to be in for a show. Worse than Romney's "Hard Working Americans are getting screwed by black people" ad.

Forgot to mention calling Hillary the devil and the 10 year saying "lock the b*tch up" that reinforces Secretary Clinton's strongest ad against Trump.
