TIL A name Nigerian 419 scammers use for their targets is "maga" which appears to mean a 'loser' or 'fool'.

He's pushing them away and asking security to remove them.

Trump "diversity" advisers push conspiracy theories and fringe ideas about minorities

Donald Trump's visit Saturday to a black church in Detroit appears aimed at boosting his dismal standing among minority voters. But his campaign's scripted plan for an interview with Bishop Wayne T. Jackson drew criticism from black leaders, and the visit comes amid backlash to the GOP nominee's latest harsh speech on immigration—including from Trump's own Hispanic Advisory Council, one of whose members called the speech "a scam."

To expand Trump's appeal—perhaps with some white voters, at least—the Trump campaign has relied on a group of advisers from the National Diversity Coalition. Organized earlier this year, and led by Trump's Apprentice protégé Omarosa Manigault and other Trump surrogates, the coalition posted a list of 55 advisers, most of them African American, Asian American, and Latino, to convey that Trump has attracted a broad base of supporters.

But a closer look at this group reveals at least a half dozen figures who subscribe to a range of conspiracy theories and fringe ideas—including that President Obama is in cahoots with ISIS, that a top Hillary Clinton aide is a Saudi spy, that Clinton supports "genocide of black people through abortion," and that "Jews are the wealthiest people in the world."
Late Friday, coalition member Mark Burns—a high-profile African-American pastor who backs Trump and spoke at the GOP national convention—admitted to falsifying parts of his professional biography, reportedly with regard to his college education and military service.

Dahlys Hamilton, chair of Hispanic Patriots for Trump
Hamilton previously worked outreach for Sen. Ted Cruz in Georgia; she wrote that she abandoned Cruz and became a Trump supporter after realizing that Cruz was a pawn of “globalist puppet masters.”

“Everything we know is a lie,” Hamilton told me in a recent interview. “And Trump knows this. He knows this, and this is why it’s not just the Hillary camp that’s coming against him; the world is coming against him, because they’re all involved.” She says she believes 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Sandy Hook massacre were all “false flags.” She says other people won’t speak up about these government deceptions “because, ‘Oh, then I’ll be considered a nut,’ and I’m like, ‘No!’ The whole term ‘conspiracy theorist’ was put in place by our own government after the assassination of JFK to quiet those of us who were speaking the truth.”

The daughter of a Panamanian immigrant, Hamilton describes herself as opposed to “illegals,” saying, “I’m having an issue with having to pay for all their stuff.” She is also wary of allowing “legal Hispanics" into the country, ” she says: “I mean, that takes away our jobs.” Her group opposes bilingual education, multilingual ballots, and the Dream Act, and supports making English the official language of the United States.

In the wake of the Orlando mass shooting, when Trump implied on Fox News that Obama had ties to ISIS, Hamilton wrote on Facebook, “Trump knows the truth about Hussein. I’ll bet he has the evidence to prove it.” She posted an altered image of Obama depicting him as an ISIS figure, with the comment “Obama De Facto ISIS Commander-in-Chief.” Hamilton also posted an image that read, “Keep Calm and Death To Islam.” She has also praised Trump surrogate Roger Stone’s suggestion that top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin is a Saudi spy.

Frances Rice, chair of National Black Republican Association
Rice's endorsement of Trump back in January made national news, and her talking points from then have underpinned Trump's "What the hell do they have to lose?" pitch to black voters. As Rice wrote: “Democrats have run black communities for the past 60 years and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands.”

In 2008, Rice produced a series of anti-Obama radio ads: One implored listeners to “look beyond Barack Obama's skin color and soaring rhetoric and see an arrogant, elitist millionaire”; others called Obama’s friends “unrepentant terrorists” and called the Democratic Party “racist.” Rice’s magazine, The Black Republican, at various times included articles headlined “Democrats embrace their child molesters” and “Democrats wage war on God,” and featured a photograph of Klansmen burning a cross, with a caption claiming that the people in the photograph were Democrats.

According to an article at the time in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, the state GOP eventually ended its financial contributions to the National Black Republican Association, as other GOP leaders worried about Rice generating “ill will” toward the party. “If the Democrats had left us alone after the Republicans freed us from slavery we wouldn't be having this discussion today,” Rice said at the time. “They are keeping blacks in virtual slavery.”

When Trump came under pressure in February to disavow the endorsement of former Klansman David Duke, Rice wrote, “David Duke has never been embraced by the Republican Party and it was Democrats who started the Ku Klux Klan that became the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.”

Steve Parson, African American pastor for Trump
Parson first endorsed Trump last year and has spoken and prayed at his rallies. At a June 2016 rally in Richmond, Virginia, Parson accused the Democratic Party of playing the “race card,” insisting that Trump “loves all people. He loves African Americans, he loves Latinos, he loves Muslims, he loves everybody. He loves America.”

"Jews are the wealthiest people in the world," says the Trump backer, "because they have a higher percent of them that are business owners.”

In an interview, Parson said that he supports Trump because the GOP nominee understands how to create wealth in African-American communities by giving people access to trade schools and helping them to start their own businesses: “You know, like the Jews. Jews are taught the skills, craft, trade, and the business from a very young age,” Parson told me. “And that’s why the Jews are the wealthiest people in the world, because they have a higher percent of them that are business owners.”

That picture of Trump in that black church... why is he dressed like he's celebrating a bar mitzvah?

 

[Charlatan]

That picture is unintentionally hilarious. Is he even trying to look like he gives a damn?

the woman isn't looking too pleased either. I wonder how much Trump gave the church to get them to go along with this?

 

[Kelly]

That is a very "Bidenesque" picture up there...lol

A televangelist lying, say it ain't so.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

What I can't get past is how he actually tried the offended act and started talking about media bias when he was faced with facts.

Bringing shame to such an honorable and respected profession.

I thought this was all off record.

This gave me a good laugh today.

BURNS: I asked you'd just a moment ago as we were opening up this -- first of all I said we were off the record.
BLACKWELL: I didn't agree with that.
BURNS: But I did.

You'd think a conman would be cleverer than this.

Something about Trump's "A Taco truck on every corner" guy, he is a "Real estate and Mortgage Expert", and here is something about him from the 2013-14 HERA (Housing and Economics Rights Advocates) report.

http://www.heraca.org/documents/annual_reports/HERA_Annual_Report_2013-14.pdf

Abuses leveled at immigrants can be particularly vicious. As part of a foreclosure rescue scam, Marco Gutierrez bullied and intimidated HERA’s monolingual Spanish-Speaking homeowner client, charging over $16,000 for a loan modification. He took the homeowner’s car as partial payment but never changed registration, racking up unpaid tickets under the homeowner’s name. When HERA helped the homeowner complain to authorities, the scammer filed a meritless lawsuit against the homeowner (and against a HERA staffer). In the course of defending the case, HERA discovered that Gutierrez was a serial litigant who had filed dozens of actions against his “clients”. Gutierrez was using the court system to bully vulnerable residents across several counties into paying amounts they did not owe him and to retaliate against those who complained about his practices. After defeating Gutierrez’s claims HERA brought a successful vexatious litigant motion against Gutierrez. As a result, both HERA’s client and countless other unrepresented homeowners who might have fallen prey to Gutierrez’s tactics are now protected.

Also from the crooksandliars report

The California Department of Real Estate has also brought actions against Gutierrez. In a 2011 action, they sought to revoke and/or suspend Gutierrez' license for collecting advance fees for a home retention action, only to take additional funds from the homeowner's checking account to pay his Comcast and Sprint bills instead of helping them to keep their home.

Trump fans laugh at Clinton's knowledge of e-mail and technology while Trump puts out tweets like..

Donald J. Trump Verified account ‏@realDonaldTrump The polls are close so Crooked Hillary is getting out of bed and will campaign tomorrow.Why did she hammer 13 devices and acid-wash e-mails?

 

[AnneFan]

Oh, no. Clinton damn well knows about technology and proper email use. She just conveniently 'forgets' things and contradicts herself. Trump's tweet is a good one. When asked questions she doesn't like by the media, she just walks away. Literally.

 

[Orba]

He thinks she acid washed her e-mails, I would be embarrassed if my 96 year old Grandad say that, whats Trump's excuse?

An old one that came out last year but seems to have been mostly forgotten about.

Donald Trump Earned Huge Speaking Fees From Company Alleged To Be A Pyramid Scheme

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was paid $1.35 million since last May for three speaking engagements for a network marketing company that has been accused of being nothing more than a pyramid scheme.

Trump’s presidential financial disclosure, which was released on Wednesday by the Federal Election Commission, shows that he has been paid $450,000 each for three speeches given on behalf of ACN Inc., a North Carolina-based “multi-level marketing” company. The celebrity and real estate billionaire spoke most recently at ACN’s annual convention which was held in Charlotte in February.

Trump first became involved with ACN in 2006. In 2009 and 2011, company executives appeared on the mogul’s NBC reality show, “Celebrity Apprentice.” During one of those episodes, a video phone ACN was selling was a featured product.

But former sales agents who worked for ACN have claimed that selling goods and services is not the company’s main goal. Instead, the emphasis is on pushing its existing sales agents to recruit new ones. That creates a lucrative revenue stream for ACN since sales agents pay $499 to join the company. They must also pay annual fees and training expenses.
“The essence of the whole thing is kind of a card trick,” says Robert FitzPatrick, who operates the website Pyramid Scheme Alert and is the co-author of the book “False Profits.”

Of the many multi-level marketing companies that exist, ACN is “one of the more predatory and aggressive,” FitzPatrick told The Daily Caller. He said that the company not only charges its agents hefty up-front fees, it also forces them to sign lengthy contracts for products and services that the company sells.

To prop up its business, ACN relies heavily on Trump to recruit news salespeople into the fold. The author of “The Art of the Deal” is featured prominently on the company’s website and speaks regularly at its conventions and training events.

“When evaluating a business opportunity people need to look for strong leadership, a solid track record, success stories, a strong product people need and want and a clear plan for the future. ACN has all of these things,” Trump says in an ACN-produced video.

“ACN has a reputation for success, success that’s really synonymous with the Trump name and other successful names, and you can be a part of it,” the company’s website states.

When the Wall Street Journal asked him about it all mentions of Trump vanished from the ACN website and Trump said.

“I do not know the company. I know nothing about the company other than the people who run the company,” he said. “I’m not familiar with what they do or how they go about doing that.”
