Whiny little brat Trump mocked a woman with a crying baby at his rally yesterday for thinking he was serious when he first said that her baby wasn\u2019t bothering him.<\/p>\n

\"choice-1250122_1280\"<\/a>I guess the crying baby was just too much competition for his own infantile behavior. Frankly, sometimes it\u2019s hard to tell the difference between Trump\u00a0and a shrieking toddler.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s whaa-whaa-whaa is all about how the election is going to be rigged and stolen from him. I loved the Washington Post\u2019s web headline: \u201cFor Trump, a new \u2018rigged\u2019 system: The election itself.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

This would actually be kind of funny if it weren\u2019t for the racism that gave rise to this latest round of\u00a0his childish grumbling:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump pointed to several court cases nationwide in which restrictive laws requiring voters to show identification have been thrown out. He said those decisions open the door to fraud in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the election is rigged, I would not be surprised,\u201d he told The Washington Post in an interview Tuesday afternoon. \u201cThe voter ID situation has turned out to be a very unfair development. We may have people vote 10 times.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course he had to go there.<\/p>\n

Ironically, as he systematically destroys the Republican Party he cites decisions by\u00a0federal courts overturning\u00a0voter suppression laws passed by racists in the Republican Party. This should serve as reminder that Trumpism is a GOP creation.\u00a0Those laws had one purpose: to squash the voices of\u00a0African-Americans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this election will be far closer than it should be. There may not be enough resentful racist white people to put Trump over the top, but there are enough to get him close.<\/p>\n

So this year, as much or more than\u00a0ever before \u2026 Black Votes Matter.<\/strong>\u00a0Let\u2019s all kick that whiny little brat square in the metaphorical you-know-where.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
