Trump: That Lyin’ Ted Sure Does Lie a Lot
I’m told we need to unify the Republican party. I don’t care because I’m no longer a member. But those of you who think so might want to get the message to one Donald J. Trump.
“But when I watched her [Hillary Clinton’s] speech last night it was so sad, because everything she said was, like, a lie,” he said later. “I wonder if I could start, instead of saying ‘Crooked Hillary,’ which is a very accurate description, I wonder if I could say — you know, remember lyin’, lyin’ — I won’t say ‘Lyin Ted’ — I refuse to say it.”
“Lyin’ Ted,” Mr. Trump said. “Holds that Bible high, puts it down and then he lies. Lyin’ Ted. Well, I’m going to retire that from Ted — I’m not going to call Ted that anymore.
Isn’t that nice. He’s going to retire it, even as he repeats it three times.
Those who very much believed in Ted Cruz who are still Republicans are going to be pretty alienated by this kind of crap. They may decide to join those of us who have left the party. Heckuva job, dipstick.
P.S. Cruz is hardly the only Republican Trump has been criticizing lately. He’s hit Susana Martinez, Mitt Romney, and Jeb Bush, among others. But he’s still praising Vladimir Putin.
I respect Putin. He’s a strong leader, I can tell you that. Not like what we have.
See 1:37:15.
What’s the difference? Martinez, Romney, Bush, and Cruz have all criticized him. Putin praised him. It’s really that simple with this idiot. And yes. He is an idiot. Any guy running for President who never heard of the Gang of Eight bill is an uninformed idiot. Period. End of story.
I’m moderating a particular term which rhymes with bee bank. Tired of seeing it. Find something else to say.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/27/2016 @ 9:01 pmROD DREHER: Re-Tribalizing America. “Donald Trump and Milo Yiannopoulos are provocateurs, no question. But they are proving something important about the militant left: that it is often racist against whites, and has no intention of allowing any opinions other than its own to be voiced in the public square. And whether in the streets or in a university lecture hall, it will use violence to impose its will. . . . Trump is a vulgar, crass, alpha-male brute. But he doesn’t care what SJWs and liberals say about him. He fights, and sometimes fights as dirty as they do. That’s not nothing. White liberal middle-class society and many bourgeois conservatives have demonized within themselves, collectively and individually, the instinct that would have given them the strength to fight civilization’s enemies on the Left and on the Right.”
Punch back twice as hard, as another provocateur once said.

narciso (732bc0) — 5/27/2016 @ 9:06 pmDonald Trump, a well-known liar of the first order
I have to disagree with this, as a liar of the first order would be a MUCH BETTER LIAR. Bill Clinton is a liar of the first order. Satan is a liar of the
firstzeroth order.But Donald Trump is a patzer of a liar. He would lie about the color of the tie he is wearing, on camera if he thought there was something to gain. His lies are so transparent that a tape of yesterday’s utterances are routinely denied, played back, still denied, and then the exasperated interviewer is simply talked over.
He is a blusterer, an obstructor and a filibusterer par excellance , but he’s a really crappy liar.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/27/2016 @ 9:08 pmPatterico, I’m sorry to repeat this, but it merits repetition: Trump could do any number of things that would make him more electable. Quit insulting Republicans is one thing. Start talking about policy is another. Cease lying for no good reason.
So you have a choice. Either (a) he just doesn’t give a flip or (b) he is intentionally throwing the election.
Or maybe both.
Remember: Trump is choosing this approach.

—Ace
“Pocahantas.”
“For a long time I’ve been busting on Marco Rubio people, and the class — Upper Middle Class College-Educated — so enthused about him.*
I’ve said this before, but this class, in particular, is extremely bully-able. Their class itself is is the product of liberal social cues and mores. College being one of the main prerequisites of class entry (other prerequisites: That your parents are also college-educated), this class is particularly sensitive to threats to their social status by liberals.**
Any class whose credentials are monitored by a progressive/archliberal dominant cadre is going to be easily whipsawed into conformity with that progressive/archliberal cadre.
I’m sorry to say this, but most of the right’s “leadership” — media, think tank (academic), political — is drawn from the upper middle/parents were college educated class.
It takes very little to pose a challenge to their class membership — a questioning of whether or not they’re firmly enough committed to liberal social values, to get them to back down and begin making apologies.
When you look at people like Paul Ryan, the whole point of their “conservative agenda” seems to be to accomplish every single Action Item on the liberal checklist, but through, allegedly, more conservative means (such as “market-based mechanisms” — this is how Romney, obviously a High Avatar of this class, wound up passing the “conservative version of universal health care,” RomneyCare, which ultimately gave us ObamaCare).
And this is why I keep saying, over and over, that Rubio People Are Silly. Marco Rubio never talked about any real conservative principle. He never attempted to upset any political applecarts or further any conservative ends.
He was always the conservagtive candidate you could show off to your Liberal Friends — and your friends are your culture-makers and class-mores enforcers — to prove you were “one of the good ones” and “not like those other unsophisticated, racist conservatives.”
And that was it. That was what he brought to the table.
That was his selling point.
Period.
His big claim to political fame — where he actually exerted himself to accomplish something — was being the Salesman for the ultimate progressive agenda item, free and unopposed migration into America by whoever managed to get across the border.
And his job was to sell that as a “deeply conservative” proposition.
Obviously, Ted Cruz was not a good replacement for Rubio in this respect; Cruz was “one of the crazy ones,” and thus marked his supporters as “one of the bad conservatives,” one of the people who love Jesus and crazy sh*t like that.
And for a lot of us, this sort of candidate-most-acceptable-to-the-establishment’s-liberal-pals model isn’t cutting it any longer.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve found myself giving fewer and fewer f*cks about what my social cohort might think about this or that. I am willing to make fewer and fewer accommodations to get along. I am willing to do less and less just to fit in with the liberal crowed, and keep on the “good conservative” list.
There are simply too many people in the commanding positions of conservative leadership who are very concerned about keeping on the Liberal Friend White List.
Trump won because when a Native American activist (posing as a journalist) declared that “Pocahantas” was “very offensive” as used in regard to Elizabeth Warren — dishonestly, I might add, as everyone knows the term is used to deny she’s an Indian, not to denigrate her as an Indian, and everyone knows this, and only a liar pretends otherwise — Trump did not begin falling over himself to make apologies and keep the well-wishes of the increasingly unreasonable left-wing hegemony.
He just began making fun of the stupid silly b*tch for being a stupid silly b*tch.
People are f*cking tired of walking around on eggshells and being made to apologize for every f*cking goddamn thing in the world.
And what we increasingly want is a political leadership that tells the Grievance Mongers and Offense Farmers to shut the f*ck up and get bent rather than explaining to them how a Conservative Version of Political Correctness Can Achieve All the Good Things That Liberal Political Correctness Can Achieve, But Using Market-Based Mechanisms.
It’s time to stop f***ing about it.
I’m tired of it, and I know millions of other people are tired of it too.
So I don’t give a f*** anymore if some dishonest b*tch dishonestly feigns offense over the term “Pocahantas.”
It’s time to start treating them as what they are — dishonest liars trying to control you.
And it’s time to start treating them as straight up internal enemies.
We tried it polite. We’ve been falling all ourselves for 30 years to try to convince the increasingly extremist left wing assh*les that we’re not all the foul things they call us.
It’s impossible — their jobs, their income, and their government subsidies depend on us being treated as second-class citizens and beasts for taxation.
It’s about time we woke and realized they cannot be convinced, because they never really believed their bullsh*t anyway, it was always for the purposes of exacting rents out of people and making them knuckle under.
And I’m afraid our current leadership just can never get that — they find themselves too afraid to go against their class, they fear too much the idea of being outcasts from their castes.
Trump is immune to such Mean Girl persuasions not because he’s an especially courageous or wise man, but because he’s a narcissist and a bully himself. Not because he’s a good man, but because he’s a fairly bad one.
But it doesn’t matter how he came to be immune to their power — all that matters is that he is immune to it.
And the people that want to continue to fall all over themselves to appease the unappeasable liberals are no longer needed in the positions of high responsibility in the movement.
Our political leaders — whether in actual political positions or in communications and ideation — are here to defend us and keep the increasingly unreasonable and aggressive left off our fu**ing backs, not to curry favor with these nasty animals, and not to keep in their good graces.
And if they seem more concerned with the latter than the former– they they have to go.
One cannot act freely until one can think freely first.
They should spend every waking moment fighting the hegemony of Social Justice Warrior thought, not trying to explain how conservatism can accomplish many of the same goals by alternate means.
I imagine in a short period of time we will see a partial political realignment as most of this class I’m talking about — which is naturally liberal — self re-sorts itself into the liberal camp, where they really ought to have been all along.
Long Story Short: In social struggles — not military ones, not political ones — a concession may be demanded or a privilege asserted, but it cannot actually come into being until/unless the target concedes it.
We have been doing far too much concession in the social struggle. We have granted them too many indulgences, in the obviously-lunatic belief that if we just grant them this next indulgence, they’ll be appeased and won’t come back in two days demanding another one.
It’s time to stop being reasonable. It’s time to start being every bit as unreasonable as they are…”

Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/28/2016 @ 1:14 amArg. Too late and I can’t spell.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/28/2016 @ 1:14 amJust when you think it cannot get worse, Trump manages to be more outrageous than I’d believed possible.
The Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee gave a fiery speech in San Diego and sought to leverage the power of his pulpit to shame one of this city’s federal judges, Gonzalo Curiel, who is hearing a class-action lawsuit against Trump University.
Trump delivered a lengthy monologue about the years-old case involving students who claim they were defrauded by Trump’s real estate “university.” He delved so deeply into details of the case — at one point, he talked about the origin of the name of the law firm representing him — that he seemed to lose the attention of his crowd.
Trump leveled a series of blows against Curiel. He called him “a hater of Donald Trump” and “very hostile” person who had “railroaded” him. He then taunted the judge, who has scheduled a trial for late November, after the election.
“I’ll be seeing you in November, either as president…” Trump said, trailing off. “I think Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself. I think it’s a disgrace that he’s doing this.” Trump brought up Curiel’s ethnicity: “The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican…I think the Mexicans are going to end up loving Donald Trump.”

Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/28/2016 @ 1:28 amThere’s a good book by Vox Day (who, unfortunately, is a big Trump supporter), called SJW Always Lie. One of the points in the book is that when SJWs attack, you need to attack back twice as hard and keep attacking. Beat them with their own methods. Trump does this, which is great.
Vox also notes that not everyone attacking you is an SJW. You have to know the difference. If a family member or friend is attacking you, do you hit them back twice as hard on a constant basis and look to destroy them? No. You don’t. Trump has been, and will continue, hitting Republicans and Conservatives who do not support him, rather than wooing them. And enables his supporters to do the same.
Yet, interestingly, the “Republican standard-bearer” is attempting to woo Democrats and Bernie supporters. That should tell you more about Donald’s true beliefs than anything else.
If Republicans and Conservatives want to abandon their deeply held beliefs, well, don’t give those of us who won’t a load of grief.

narciso (732bc0) — 5/28/2016 @ 8:30 amI take a limited amount of guilty pleasure when Italy and its armed forces does well. Like it doesn’t cut and run like Spain. Or La Decima Flottiglia MAS or Il Paracadutisti Folgore. And when Fabrizio Quattrocchi defiantly tells the terrorists, “This is how an Italian dies.”

aphrael (3f0569) — 5/28/2016 @ 9:27 am#82 Colonel Haiku,
This weekend, our morally equivalizing President will undoubtedly equate Memorial Day to Veterans Day. He usually makes no distinction between the two holidays. If he goes to Arlington on Monday, he’ll be sure to tell people to “thank a veteran!” even though the holiday is explicitly about the “veterans” who are no longer here to thank.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 5/28/2016 @ 9:29 amSeveral years ago, he praised the men who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice — many of whom are here with us today!
How pathetic.
It was like Joe Biden famously asking the wheelchair-bound veteran to “stand up so everyone can see you!“
True that, CS.
And on another front…
“One year ago, everybody knew that Donald Trump couldn’t win.
Six months ago, everybody knew deporting illegal aliens/building wall was political suicide. And 15 minutes ago, you knew that only bigots/racists supported him. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.”
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 5/28/2016 @ 9:47 amThank you.

Thanks a good article by Ace.
On the one hand it is great to see someone stand up to the media. On most things there is no reason to give in or kneel before them. On the other hand, it sucks its a man like Trump who isn’t doing it to protect principles but for himself. He only loves the attention.

Suppose that Bill Clinton had threatened the Paula Jones judge with retribution and called her a “Republi*unt.” If he had done so while the impeachment trial was proceeding, it might have turned the trick. So to speak.

I never got the impression that Colonel Haiku is approving Trump’s behavior in regards to the Judge — did you?
Mr Haiku sees that Trump is likely going to be the last man standing to stop a President Hillary from taking fruition. But that doesn’t mean he approves of Trump, anymore than a person who pays nine bucks for watered down stadium beer at the ballgame is thrilled to do so. The reason we pay nine bucks for watered down stadium beer is because it’s the only remaining option for beer at the ballgame.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 5/28/2016 @ 10:14 amThe usual procedure, when a cafone offends a wiseguy, is for the wiseguy to step out of the picture. Like nothing happened and everything is jake. Others, however, get the picture. Something happens to the cafone but there’s nothing to connect the wiseguy. So let’s see if Curiel recuses himself, and the new judge not only sticks it to Tiny Donnie but breaks it off too.
(Not that Curiel has to. Or should. Otherwise every lowlife would just insult a judge he didn’t like any time he wanted a different judge.)

Very close to zero. The infamous 47% subsidy receiving floor has moved closer to 49% while the odds of Clinton being indicted by the Obama DoJ are lower than those of the election going to the House. Clinton is certainly the most repulsive Democrat to ever take the nomination but those Treasury checks remain as lovely as ever.

Dee (f26b4f) — 5/28/2016 @ 11:50 amI left the GOP two years ago because of the direction the party was going. Since a Hillary or Donald will be bad for America as president in their own unique ways, IMO, there is no way I’ll vote either one. What’s left, therefore, is (1) not vote, (2) vote, but leave the “for president” part blank, or (3) vote for a 3rd party candidate in protest. I pick Door #3. The best 3rd party alternative is Johnson-Weld, or maybe Johnson-Petersen.

I had to choose between teacher X, whom everyone said was a jerk, or teacher Y, whom everyone characterized as a witch. I wish I could have said, “I don’t want either one!” but whether a student likes the teacher or not, the district still has governing authority over you.
So since I was going to have to be enrolled in a math class, I figured that teacher X was a little less jerky than teacher Y was a witch — so I took teacher X.
By enrolling in teacher X’s class, it never meant that I thought that teacher X was the equivalent of Mr Keating in ‘Dead Poets Society.’

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 5/28/2016 @ 2:16 pm#130 JD,
It’s possible that a Libertarian candidate (Johnson or Petersen) will emerge and become competitive in the race. Time will tell. But as of now, it looks like it’ll come down to either Trump or Hillary as our next President. It’s a two-party system, and that’s usually how it works out. Perot got 19/20% in ’92, yet a whopping zero electoral votes.
Given a choice between Hillary and Trump, I’ll take my chances with Trump.
“Not voting” is not something I would choose. One of these people is going to have governing authority over me regardless of what I think of them. And I’d like to choose whom I believe to be the lesser of two very bad choices.

Steve57 (2aedfb) — 5/28/2016 @ 2:48 pmThat’s a poor analogy, CS. I didn’t get to vote for my teachers once I decided on a class. I do get to choose a President. An art or history teacher has little to no bearing on my future life. The cabinet choices or the judges a President nominates do. The school district has authority over me until I’m 18, or I graduate. The government, in all it’s various flavors has authority over many aspects of my life for the remainder of my life.
Bill H (971e5f) — 5/28/2016 @ 2:49 pmThat I get. It’s the exact reason why I have no animosity whatsoever for people who have decided to throw their lot in with Trump. You’ve been loud for Cruz ever since this all started, so I know it isn’t a matter of you’ve “seen the light”. Same thing for those who went originally with Walker, Fiorina, Carson, Jeb, Christie, et al. Hell, I can even understand the guys who’ve been with Trump from the beginning.
Considering the persona Trump puts up, and the majority of the people who back him, not even mentioning all the other problems I just can’t support him. He really is no better than Sir Hillary.
Bill H (971e5f) — 5/28/2016 @ 3:09 pm@ Kevin M (#31), who asked, apropos Trump’s out-of-court insulting of the federal judge before whom the Trump U lawsuits is pending:
Short answer: almost certainly not.
In general, out of court statements and conduct are going to be given much more latitude than in-court statements or conduct. The contempt power isn’t intended to protect judges from being personally insulted in general; rather, the contempt power is part of a judge’s broader power to maintain order and dignity in his or her courtroom and court proceedings — for the benefit of the Rule of Law, the entire justice system, and the litigants before it, not the individual judges in it. That’s why it’s “Contempt of Court,” not “Contempt of Judge.”
Outside the courthouse, though, the First Amendment is going to immunize a whole lot of deliberately, even maliciously, insulting language and conduct directed toward particular judges or judges in general.
Lawyers have some additional obligations, sourced in the canons of ethics, which may impose limits on their speech about judges and the system: We’re generally not supposed to bring the system into disrepute. The penalty wouldn’t likely be jail or contempt, but rather revocation of the license to practice before that particular court (as has happened to the DoJ lawyers whom Judge Hanen found to have lied to him about the Obama Administration’s compliance, or non-compliance, with his orders in the big immigration case).
But again, outside the courthouse, even those ethical restraints are interpreted and enforced so very weakly as to permit lawyers to take to the 6:00 o’clock news with some pretty scurrilous p*ssing and moaning about how awful Judge Blanketyblank is. And of course, Trump’s not a lawyer.
If there were a gag order of some sort in place in a particular case, violating that could get someone in trouble for comments like Trump’s, but I’m not aware of any such in the Trump U case, and they are exceedingly rare, almost unknown, in civil cases.
So I think he’s in no meaningful formal legal jeopardy from his comments.
A couple of times in my career, I’ve had clients who were particularly frustrated with the judge before whom our case was pending, who suggested to me that if they were to make some big public attack on the judge, that would prove he was biased, and he’d have to recuse himself. I’ve had to explain, patiently, that no, insulting the judge doesn’t prove he’s biased, it proves you’re stupid, and if he takes offense, that offense is absolutely no legal or ethical ground to disqualify him or force him to recuse himself. The system in fact wants and expects judges to pay attention to litigants’ credibility and character, which are always relevant factors, for multiple purposes, in every legal dispute. If a party acts as foolishly as Trump is acting, it’s entirely appropriate for judges to consider that in making, for example, discretionary rulings on motions for continuances or the like.
This is not Trump shooting himself in the foot for purposes of that lawsuit. It’s Trump shooting his left leg off with a 155-mm howitzer — world-class stupid.

narciso (732bc0) — 5/28/2016 @ 5:33 pm@ Rick Ballard (#145): Thanks for the link to the WaPo story, but I’m puzzled by the text you used for the link, “Did Judge Curiel Fire First?” (Nice Hans Solo allusion, by the way, most judges would be flattered by that I think, rather than offended.)
Judge Curiel was absolutely right — and following overwhelmingly clear precedent common throughout the state and federal judicial systems nationwide — in undoing a protective order that had allowed Trump’s lawyers to conceal from public scrutiny the evidence that’s already been gathered in pretrial discovery proceedings. Courts have an affirmative duty to prevent overuse and overdesignation of such protective or confidentiality orders, lest litigants use them as a tool for covering up misconduct that directly affects the public interest. In 1990, responding to systematic abuse and overuse of these orders in sealing court files in order to cover up gross wrongdoing, for example, the Texas Supreme Court drafted Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 76a, which requires Texas litigants to satisfy an elaborate series of notice requirements and rigorous showings before Texas trial judges may seal court files (which include materials generated in pretrial discovery).
So if Judge Curiel “fired first,” he was just doing his job: He’s exactly right that, as the news organizations were arguing, the changed circumstances in legitimate public interest in, and scrutiny of, Donald Trump does indeed affect the balancing of interests necessary to sustain such confidentiality orders.
Here’s the point the WaPo writers missed, though:
This same change in the balance of interests — between privacy and public welfare/interest — can affect the validity of every confidentiality and sealing order previously entered by agreement, without opposition, in all the lawsuits in which Trump’s bought his victims’ silence. Expect the press to systematically find, and challenge, every such confidentiality order that Trump and his companies have used to bury their skeletons going back into the 1970s.

narciso (732bc0) — 5/28/2016 @ 6:06 pmBeldar,
I was just a bit curious as to whether Trump’s gibbering was reflexive, anticipatory or retaliatory. The flying feces re Cruz were obviously retaliatory as well as extortionate while those flung with great abandon at Judge Curiel could have been anticipatory or reflexive. I agree with you that this ruling may serve as a precedent rationale for allowing those with stronger stomachs than mine to shovel through the mountainous heaps of Trump sewage heretofore sealed from public view.
We can be sure the WaPo will continue to poke the orangeutan and even more sure the orangetan will fling feces in return. He’s rather predictable in that respect, if in no other.
Rick Ballard (161c5b) — 5/28/2016 @ 6:08 pmI would imagine that these civil cases against Trump are pretty strong, as otherwise they’d have settled. I have no doubt Trump has tried to do so, but the other side know that have his balls in the fire so they can hold out.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/28/2016 @ 6:15 pmRick–
What about Trump over the last year suggests a reflective or anticipatory individual. He lives in the present, never considers the future and denies the past.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/28/2016 @ 6:17 pmI would never, ever accuse Trump of reflecting upon anything other than his image in a mirror. Reflexive feces flinging, OTOH, is deeply ingrained in what passes for his psyche and on display almost continuously.

In addition to the class action cases, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a $40 million lawsuit in 2013 alleging that Trump had defrauded more than 5,000 individuals through Trump University, which was never licensed as an educational institution.
Then only after filing, demanded a roll call of students from Trump, so he could fish for defendants.

the door (920839) — 5/28/2016 @ 7:56 pmRe class certification and its significance:
Almost all class actions settle before there is ever a ruling on class certification. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and most of their state-court analogs are skewed to encourage, almost require, exactly that. Not many cases filed as a class actions actually gets far enough through the pretrial proceedings to reach the class certification stage anyway.
By the time they’re on the brink of a ruling on certification, though, both sides — the defendants and the lawyers for the named plaintiffs (and putative class) — are facing a spectacularly risky and significant ruling, since the reasonable settlement value of any claim skyrockets after certification. An upcoming class certification hearing can be as effective as a close-approaching jury trial setting in motivating parties to exhaust fully their settlement negotiations.
Moreover, if the class actually gets certified, then at that point the trial judge takes on special responsibilities to micro-manage and oversee the case, for the benefit of the entire class of unnamed plaintiffs whose legal fates are about to be determined in their absence. As a practical matter, both sides’ counsel end up forfeiting a lot of flexibility once the trial judge is more actively involved. This, too, is a powerful settlement lubricant.
The fact that the Trump U case is already past the class-certification stage means, strategically and procedurally, that the plaintiffs’ counsel effectively have a boot on the Trump defendants’ necks. They’re long past the point where cheap settlement would be possible. And the trial judge would have to approve any settlement, hold a hearing on its fairness, and could reject it if he thinks the unnamed class members deserve better terms.
