    I think he’s stalling so he doesn’t have to share the spotlight too soon. I keep thinking there will be no way it’s Newt. Newt is too much of a scene stealer. Hence the ratcheting up the Muslim hysteria by now demanding every Muslim in the US be investigated.

      I didn’t hear him say that. I did hear him say quite prudently that this is a problem the world needs to come together on to fight. It’s not a US problem.

      But, as usual:

      Trump: “I want to secure the border and follow immigration laws.”

      Media response: Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, bigot, fascist.

      Trump: “I want to make good trade deals to bring jobs back to America.”

      Media response: Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, bigot, fascist.

      Trump: “I want to make America Great Again.”

      Media response: Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, bigot, fascist.

      Beet is referring to Speaker Gingrich’s comments from earlier tonight.

    If Trump walks back the Pence choice and somehow picks Christie despite all the red flags raised in his vetting process this election cycle will finally downgrade from “dangerously absurd” to “fucking hilarious.”

      I honestly think if that happened, there would be enough support to dump him on the convention floor. Regardless of what the Rules Committee decided tonight.

      “Fucking hilarious how dangerously absurd it is.” The sort of “I’m laughing because I’m horrified and this is the only response my body has. ‘Hahaha oh god oh god hahaha’”

    So is this why Newt tweeted tonight that ALL Muslims should be tested to see if they believe in Sharia Law? He must see an opening.

      Is it a fucking blood test? And Newt is supposed to be the “moderate” one.

    Meanwhile, the top story on other non-obsessed websites is a very sad reality. Give it a rest for 15 minutes, gawker.

      What struck me was this: His “How to be a Millionaire” phraseology when talking about possibly changing his VP pick. I know people have said before me that Trump acts as if his Presidential run is a reality show, but given this:

      “I haven’t made my final, final decision.”

      ...maybe he thinks it’s a game show. The mind boggles.

    Praying for the victims of Nice :(

    But I also feel sorry for the muslim community who will have to deal with right-wing bullying. We have to remember not to blame the entire muslim community on this. Most are moderate, and these people do not represent Islam, which is actually a religion of peace. #notallmuslims

    Anywhoo, here’s some irrelevant stories about Donald trump! he’s such an rotten orange cheeto LOL

      It’s weird that some people would think terrorists represent Islam but never consider that maybe Islam is actually represented by normal Muslim folks who are themselves victims of terrorism, such as the ones killed in Nice tonight:

    I’m still more concerned with the Adventure Time Lego set. And I’m reading more articles about Pokemon Go than Trump. This eases my mind. So, if the Adventure Time Lego set is only figures that you build (not minifigure scale), that means we have to make larger playsets for them to exist in. This totally fills in my 2017-19. I guess I can deal with 2 years of whoever is president at that time.

      Adventure Time is the best! I watch it with my 10-year-old, and we just turn to each other and exclaim “WhatWhat?!?” It will really wrinkle your brain.

    “Later, Trump made it clear that the attack itself was “absolutely not” effecting his choice—which, of course, he hasn’t actually made.”

    “Effecting”? Really? I know it’s night time, but still...

        People, generally, like toddlers and if one were playing with a live hand grenade they’d probably take it away.

        Nobody really likes Donald Trump that much and the ones that do don’t seem to have the sense necessary to intervene.
