Sorry, had to get that out of my system. My scientific background took over.....
Now, back to politics.
Drumpf is at it again, insulting the judge who's handling the fraud case involving Trump "University". Way to go, Donnie boy! Piss of the guy who just might get you indicted before Clinton!
"Trump attacks 'Mexican' judge in Trump U lawsuit" - Politico, 5/28/16
The responses:
"One would think Mr. Trump, whose sister is a federal appellate judge, would know how self-destructive it is for any litigant anywhere to attack the judge hearing his or her case. But Mr. Trump is not any litigant; he is running to be president of the United States — a job that requires at least a glancing understanding of the American system of government, in particular a respect for the separation of powers. When Mr. Trump complains that he is “getting railroaded” by a “rigged” legal system, he is saying in effect that an entire branch of government is corrupt." - NY Times editorial, 5/31/16
"This is vile stuff. Not only is Trump peddling racist conspiracy garbage about a federal judge (Curiel was born and raised in Indiana), Trump is using the bully pulpit to try to intimidate the courts to rule in his favor. Just imagine, Trump effectively warned Judge Curiel, what will happen to you if you rule against me after I'm elected president." Reason.com, 5/31/16
"Of course, as a private citizen, Trump has the right to criticize any judge or court decision, including one where the candidate himself is one of the parties. But Trump’s complaints are more revealing even than the decisions that irk him. Trump has no apparent philosophy of how judges make decisions; he doesn’t even attempt something as simple, and revealing, as George W. Bush’s antipathy for judges who “legislate from the bench.” For Trump, rather, judging is all personal, at least as far as he is concerned. He has no discernible views on judges except about whether they agree with him, case by case. As illustrated by his attacks on Judge Curiel, Trump’s style is bigoted name-calling, not reasoned critique. That’s his pattern—and not just about judges." - The New Yorker, 5/31/16
"Mr. Trump demonstrated the same disrespect for constitutional norms when he attacked a federal judge over the weekend. He called Judge Gonzalo Curiel “a hater.” He labeled the Indiana-born jurist a “Mexican,” once again proving an ability to offend and prevaricate simultaneously. If he is willing now to bully a judge overseeing a case involving his business, what respect for the separation of powers can we expect if he is president?" - Washington Post, 5/31/16
"The fact of the matter is, Donald Trump -- you know why these documents are public? Because Donald Trump has done nothing but beat the living daylights out of this judge. And the more he's done that, the more the judge has basically said, ‘Hey our credibility has been called into question. We got to put everything out here.’ So it is a reminder, is this the way he would govern? Is this how he would act in office? Any critic, any critic from the judiciary branch, another branch of government, right? This is something minor in his own office. If he did this while in office, it could trigger a constitutional crisis. So it is truly borderline irresponsible behavior, on that front." - Chuck Todd, NBC, 6/1/16
And one more thing..... Those $650,000 speeches Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs as a private citizen, which supposedly made her their puppet? Donald Trump has at least $100 million in outstanding loans from Deutsche Bank, which not too long ago had to cough up over $2 billion in fines after it got caught rigging interest rates. They also tried - and failed - to get around the Dodd-Frank regulations that were put in place in 2010 to get the big banks to play safe and not cause another financial collapse.
Conflict of interest, anyone?
