I don't think that's worth mocking any more than a good leader who believes firmly in the christian dogma. None of it makes more sense than the other.
I find it convenient as hell everyone who believes in past lives inevitably were major historical persons or one of their hangers on. You never hear about the guy that shoveled shit in ten lives as a peasant.
Granted, Patton had the skillz. If anyone were a reincarnation of a roman general, it would have been him.

I never liked Patton. He was far too willing to get his men killed for his own personal glory.

I hear you. I don't disagree. But he won.

WTF?!?
I'm sure the pictures are genuine, but the players are not. There was a picture floating around on facebook showing KKK guys holding up Trump signs, and you could see one of them was a black guy. Lots of well-poisoning happening.

Or is that astroturfing? I forget my terminology for dirty pool.
Trump had asked everyone to raise their right hand and promise they were going to vote for him. Pretty sure that he probably will never do that at another one of his rallies.

I sometimes wonder how he finds his jet when it's time to go home. He's that unaware of pretty much everything.

So it's real. Just goddamn.

Mistake by Trump.

Trump had asked everyone to raise their <s>right hand</s> middle finger to common sense and promise they were going to vote for him.

Fixed.

Response.
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Trump was asked whether he is trying to emulate Hitler.

"Boy, is that a stretch," he said.

"I say jokingly, 'Raise your hand if you swear to endorse me,' " he added. "The entire place is practically laughing and having a good time. They're raising their hands in the form of a vote, not in the form of a salute."

You probably weren't trying to, just like this dude wasn't trying to look like him:

Emperor Cocksucker speaks.
"I think Islam hates us," Trump told CNN's Anderson Cooper, deploring the "tremendous hatred" that he said partly defined the religion. He maintained the war was against radical Islam, but said, "it's very hard to define. It's very hard to separate. Because you don't know who's who."

It gets better.
In speaking with Cooper, Trump added that "there can be no doctrine" when asked to outline how he would project power overseas.

"I have no plan," is generally not viewed in a positive light.

When I say the Republican party is fucking dead in the water at the bottom of Challenger Deep...
Much of the polling on views of Muslims has focused on Trump’s proposal to keep all non-citizen Muslims out of the U.S. “until we can figure out what’s going on.” In early December, several polls asked voters whether they supported or opposed that proposal. The questions' wording mattered -- Trump’s exact conditions for the proposal were unclear, so pollsters asked the question in different ways -- but overall, majorities of Republicans supported the proposal unless it was presented as a “total and complete shutdown of any Muslim entering the United States.” Even in that scenario, 42 percent of Republican voters supported the proposal.

... just goddamn.

Then why aren't we trying to keep out the rest of them? There's a lot of violence and murder done around the world in the name of Christianity as well, after all.

Please tell me you're not suggesting mainstream Islam is a death cult?

Big time. Even the moderate ones, even though they aren't committed enough to follow through.

I don't trust anyone who believes in the invisible sky father.

Eh, I got friends that believe in one religion or another. I trust at least a few. I don't believe everything they do.

The people love him.
Trump attributed the protests not to objections to his policies, but to general malaise in the United States — particularly among people upset they haven’t been able to find jobs.

“It’s anger in the country,” he said. “I don’t think it’s directed at me. Just what’s been going on for years.”

But many of the protesters at the event said they were there to stop Trump from speaking.

Record Label to reward guy who tried to attack Trump.

Imagine if someone had tried to do this to Obama and some country label bought him a bunch of stuff.
