Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke says "Jewish tribal nature" is behind Trump opposition https://t.co/KRXJp2RLux pic.twitter.com/ApVM2f2PIN
— CBS News (@CBSNews) June 9, 2016
Notice that both have a bad case of tanning-bed reverse-racoon-mask. Is this the new White Pride social marker?
… “The Jewish establishment is absolutely zeroing in now on Donald Trump,” Duke said on his radio show on Tuesday. “The viciousness of these Jews is unbelievable.”
“I think this whole Trump University case really, if we exploit it, can really expose the entire Jewish manipulation of the American media the American political process, the American control of politics in America, and truly how that they are the dominant and dangerous power that exists in the United States of America today,” he said.
It’s not the first time Duke has been intertwined with the Trump campaign. In February, the former KKK grand wizard rallied supporters around Trump, saying a ballot cast against Trump would be “treason to your heritage” and calling the Trump movement an “insurgency that is waking up millions of Americans.”
That month, Trump was asked in a CNN interview whether he was willing to unequivocally condemn the white supremacist group and its former leader. He dodged the question…

That picture of Duke is several decades old. Here’s the un-cropped version. Don’t think he was using a tanning bed then. Could be wrong though.

Does David Duke know that Trump’s daughter is married to a Jew and converted to Judaism? Just wondering if that would make any difference since for him, Jews are the worst (with Blacks running a very close second).

@Baud: I don’t know, when we got married and visited my grand father-in-law for the first time in Mumbai. He was not too happy that his grandson had decided to stay back in the US. He told us about how Indians were thrown out Burma after the junta took over. It didn’t matter whether they were born there, had Burmese wives etc. I said with 100% conviction that would never happen in the United States. Little did I know that the party of Lincoln would nominate a known bigot and an openly racist person for the Presidency.
LAO
@Adam L Silverman: first come, first served. You know the rules.

@amk: Sadly, I think it will be higher. 44% at least.
Think of it this way: You’ve got 27% at least locked in solid. How many more loyal Republicans will toe the line? Enough to put him over 40% at least.
I wish it were not so, but, alas.

Watching The Switch with Jason Bateman and Jen Aniston.

Look, all Donald Trump did was complain that a white man would ever be subject to judgement from a Mexican in authority, and that wasn’t good enough for David Duke? No? He has to add the Elders of the Protocols of Zion to the mix? Why not just let Trump keep it simple?

@redshirt: He doesn’t. Simmons arms aren’t that large. Based on the pic he’s got his body fat down to around 6% or so. If you look at what he was lifting, those are 20 lbs dumbbells. I warm up with 40s for biceps curls and while I haven’t tried to max out lately, (because I’ve been on all TRX for almost a year) I can do 60s without much issue.
Gelfling545
@Jay C: Friends of mine were in Ireland last month. Everywhere they went people were seeking reassurance that Trump couldn’t really be elected. Same when my granddaughter & I were in France in March. (She was wearing her Bernie pins, so people asked.)
lamh36
@redshirt: I was wondering the same thing…I’m not much of a Justice Leaguer though, so really outside of looking forward to Jason Mamoa…I didn’t even realize Gordon was in the film?

@lamh36: As I wrote in 91 above:

As for being in the movie: its a small part. I expect he’ll reprise with more screen time in the stand alone Batman movie and most likely the stand alone Harley Quinn movie too.
redshirt
@lamh36: I find it sad he is. It was just 4 years ago we saw the best Commissioner Gordon ever.
DC/Warner Bros is going run DC film properties into the ground over some fast bucks.

since when does commissioner Gordon have 6% body fat?

Since he entered The Murderverse.

@redshirt: This is also true!
Adam L Silverman
@NonyNony: I doubt it.
Adam L Silverman
@chopper: Since he’s being played by Simmons.
NonyNony
@chopper: After the most recent reboot of the comics, Gordon is an ex-marine who replaced Batman after everyone thought he’d died fighting the Joker (spoilers: not actually dead). That version of Gordon probably has 6% body fat. (Of course he’s also only 40-something, so …)
Adam L Silverman
@NonyNony: He’d been an ex-Soldier or Marine for a while even before the reboot. Miller got that into canon with Batman: Year One.
NonyNony
@Adam L Silverman: It’s been a while, but I thought he was Army in Year One. For some reason I thought ex-marine was a Scott Snyder innovation.
