Top 10 Conservative Idiots #34: Trump-Man & The Mosquito Edition
Top 10 Conservative Idiots #34: Trump-Man & The Mosquito Edition
Welcome back to the Top 10 Conservative Idiots! And that’s a Sunday crowd for you there, folks! You know what kind of audience you’re getting on a rare Top 10 Sunday edition since we moved the Top 10 to Wednesdays! Well the title of this week’s edition is a play on the title to the sequel for Ant-Man called “Ant-Man & The Wasp”. So let me ask you guys something – you guys and gals like basketball? Well you know there’s some interesting things going on in sports right now. Especially in basketball. Of course my Lakers are going to suck from now until whenever they decide to kick the Buss’s out of ownership of the team. And the Clippers who I have started to root for only because they kind of sort of win, have resigned the whole team from last year. But everything has been going for Golden State, so we can look forward to years of finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. With that out of the way we’ve got a lot of idiocy to cover, especially the RNC is a mere 7 days away folks! But first Stephen Colbert takes the guns off on gun control:
So where do we begin this week? Well the number one slot is going to go to Congressional Republicans (1). So the FBI smacked down their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail…. Scandal…. ? If you can call it a “scandal”. And naturally the republicans lost their shit. Of course returning champion Donald Trump (2, 3) takes up the second and third slots this week. In the second slot we’re going to talk about Donald Trump’s reaction to the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal and if you guessed that there’s some white supremacy involved, Trump style, you are correct sir / madam! In the third slot, I hope you’re not eating anything while you are viewing this, because the third slot we’re going to talk about who doesn’t want to be Donald Trump’s running mate, as well as a bizarre suggestion of who *SHOULD* be his running mate (hint: don't eat anything). In the fourth slot this week is Joe Walsh (4). No I'm not talking about the Eagles frontman, I'm talking about batshit crazy former Illinois representative Joe Walsh. Unfortunately we won’t be able to do a “people who somehow got elected” for this edition, but he will be a good one for a future edition. In the fifth slot is something much lighter – the Bathroom Police (5), who return after being absent last week. So the US military overturned the ban on transgender military service, but not everyone is pleased with the ruling including actual trans people. Meanwhile, while some people have been committing some really horrifying sex crimes on top of that. Now on the lighter side – in the sixth slot we’re going to Kentucky to talk about the Noah’s Ark theme park opening. Taking the 7th slot, we are going to talk about Fox News (7). So Gretchen Carlson sued the network for harassment, and this story goes much crazier than you would think. Plus we’ll answer the question – “Is Roger Ailes the Zapp Branagin of TV journalists?” Spoiler alert: yes! In the number 8 slot, we’ve got some religious nuts to tell you about – Jim Bob Duggar is attempting to rationalize child molestation (yes, you heard that correctly) while Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson has gone off the deep end batshit crazy. In the number 9 slot (NEIN!!!), we’re going to take a dip in the international conservative idiots file and head to Scotland to tell you the results of a Nazi fashion show. Finally this week, before we dive head first into the convention madness, we’re going to end on the lighter side and talk about Taylor Swift’s insane 4th Of July Party. Normally I won’t talk about celebrity tabloid nonsense but when you call a party “Taymerica” and invite just about everyone in Hollywood to your party, and a million stories come out of it, we have to talk about it. Plus we have some great Top 10 theories about this party. Enjoy! And as always don’t forget the key!
[font size="8"]Congressional Republicans[/font]
We are just a mere 7 days away from RNC Eve, folks! Come on sing it with me – “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”. Actually it probably isn’t considering what will happen in Cleveland in the event that Trumpenfuror doesn’t make it through as the GOP nom. But what happens if that doesn’t happen? Well we’ll explore that further down this edition. Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans are literally doing everything they can to………………… not pass any meaningful legislation! Or at the very least let Obama have a say in who gets nominated to SCOTUS to replace Scalia. Quick, to the Idiot Mobile!
So what happened exactly while we were gone? You know the FBI had that insane investigation into the Hillary Clinton e-mail “scandal” which I will refer to by using quotation marks because that’s about the extent of what you can call a “scandal”. Let’s explore further. So the FBI decided to interview Hillary about the use of e-mail:
Hillary Clinton could be interviewed by the FBI in the coming days as part of an investigation into the former secretary of state and her staff's use of private email to conduct official U.S. State Department business, according to a source familiar with the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation.
The Justice Department's goal is to complete the investigation and make recommendations on whether charges should be filed before the two major party conventions take place toward the latter half of July, the source said.

Great idea! Let’s charge the presumptive Democratic Party nominee with…. Something. What that is continues to remain a mystery. The republicans want to charge Hillary Clinton with something but what it is even they don’t know. But this is the biggest inquiry into the scandal – did Hillary Clinton have information regarding intelligence officials on her non government sanctioned e-mail server?
And yet, when confronted with the findings of the report, Hillary Clinton maintained that all the hullabaloo surrounding her email probe is simply the result of a “mistake” that she committed during her time as the Secretary of State. As it turns out, however, using her “convenience” argument is not the only time Clinton has fallen back on fabricated truths to justify her actions. The report also showed that Clinton was fully aware of repeated hacking attempts by an allegedly Russian-state-sponsored hacker, with her then-IT chief even completely shutting down the server in 2011 to prevent classified data from being compromised.
-snip-
John R. Schindler, a former National Security Agency analyst, wrote in the Observer that his source who is “privy to some of FBI’s findings” is certain that Clinton’s server was breached several times, thereby jeopardizing national security. “We know (her email server) was hacked numerous times; it’s that simple. If I were Vladimir Putin, I’d fire the head of the SVR (Russia’s foreign intelligence service) if he didn’t get a good look at Hillary’s emails when they were sitting in plain sight online.” Schindler then went on to suggest that intelligence agencies around the world, including that of Russia, China, and Iran, must know more about the email exchanges of Hillary Clinton than the American public does. If this accusation turns out to be true, Hillary Clinton could brace herself for a mountain of legal trouble coming her way. It could be the basis on which the FBI might indict Hillary Clinton under the Espionage Act.

That is pretty heavy duty shit. So naturally the republicans have gone to Defcon 2 and turned the spin cycle up to nuclear.
Just three days after completing a highly-publicized 3.5 hour interview with the former Secretary of State, the FBI is prepared to give a press conference this morning. FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to give the remarks at 11 a.m., which are on an unspecific topic.
Last week, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that she was prepared to receive the recommendation from the FBI about the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server and the handling of classified information.
Political Twitter immediately wagered their best bets about the press conference and what we might expect to hear when Comey takes to the microphone. Many are pointing to the fact that Clinton is scheduled to make her first campaign stop later today alongside President Barack Obama as a likely indicator about how Comey’s remarks may be colored:

Which prompted attorney general Loretta Lynch to interview both Bill and Hillary Clinton in order to make recommendations on what the next direction the case should take is:
Attorney General Loretta Lynch will accept the "determinations and findings" of the FBI and career prosecutors who are investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, a Justice Department official said Friday.
Lynch is expected to discuss her handling of the case at an event Friday morning in Aspen, Colorado.
The news of Lynch's decision, which sources told CNN has been in the works for months, was first reported by The New York Times.
The assurances from the official follow criticism stemming from a private meeting Lynch had with former President Bill Clinton at a Phoenix airport earlier this week.

And then what happened exactly after that?
The attorney general typically would have the final say over whether prosecutors seek an indictment in such a high-profile case involving a former senior Cabinet official. The Times noted that Lynch’s predecessor, Eric Holder, chose to overrule prosecutors who wanted to bring felony charges against former CIA Director David Petraeus, reducing the charge to a misdemeanor in a case involving the mishandling of classified material.
Lynch is not formally recusing herself and won’t agree to demands from some Republicans, including Senator John Cornyn of Texas, that she appoint a special counsel in the Clinton case. The FBI has yet to interview Clinton, who has said she hopes the investigation is completed soon.

Ah! Note that it’s not just Hillary Clinton who’s under investigation but there’s someone else in the cabinet who might also be under investigation. And here’s how Paul Ryan is planning on handling this whole thing. If you guessed he’s launching an investigation into the investigation, you are correct! No wonder shit doesn’t get done in this country!
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday evening that Republicans will hold hearings to learn more about the FBI's decision to not recommend criminal charges for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
"People have been convicted for far less," Ryan said during an interview with Megyn Kelly on Fox News's "The Kelly File," saying that he thought FBI director James Comey "was going to recommend prosecution" based on the FBI director's opening remarks in a press conference Tuesday.
Ryan said the FBI's decision not to recommend charges "underscores the belief that the Clintons live above the law."
Comey said that while there was evidence Clinton and her staff was "extremely careless" with classified information, "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring a case against her.

You know why does workout Paul Ryan remind me of Ben Stiller’s White Goodman character from the 2004 flick Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story?
[font size="8"]Donald Trump[/font]
Before we get into all things Donald J. Trump this week, there’s a couple of items I would like to address here. While we didn’t have space for Infowars this week, I do have to point out Alex Jones and his obsession with Donald Trump and goblins. Yes this guy is so batshit off the wall fucking crazy that he thinks goblins exist. Goblins!!! Goblins!!!!!! Why is my voice getting so high? And I’m pretty sure Alex Jones believes in goblins too. Hey o!!!!
During an otherwise routine critique of Donald Trump’s growing ties with establishment Republicans, libertarian radio host Alex Jones took a moment on Tuesday to read a passage from his darkest Lord of the Rings slash fic, voicing concerns about his new BFF “kissing goblins.”
“I never expected Trump charging into a goblin’s nest to not get some goblin vomit and schlop and blood on him,” said Jones. “I just don’t want to catch him in bed with a goblin. But if he’s in there rolling around hacking ‘em up and he’s got a goblin guide, y’know, taking him into the cave, I’m not expecting him to not get dirty, especially up to his ankles.”

And yes there is tape of this batshit crazy tirade. Can we roll it please?
Seriously – is Alex Jones just playing a really fucked up game of Dungeons & Dragons, or is he watching way too much Game Of Thrones?
And then one of my favorite comedians – Jim Jeffries – who I have seen perform standup multiple times in the last couple of years – absolutely nailed it when it comes to Trumpenfuror:
Jeffries continued, hammering Trump for making promises that could not conceivably happen — making Mexico pay for the aforementioned wall and banning members of certain religious groups from entering the United States, for example.
“He’s like a kid running for class president who’s just walking around going ‘And we’re going to have two lunches and there’s gonna be a soda machine in every classroom’,” Jeffries said — then he brought down the hammer.
“What he does is he preys on fear,” Jeffries explained, citing Trump’s categorical claim that all Mexicans are rapists. After any terrorist attack, Trump can be counted on to “go after the Muslims,” even promising to kill the families of terror suspects (a war crime) and force Muslims to register themselves like a scene out of X-Men (or, of course, Hitler’s Germany

But for this entry we got to talk about Donald Trump and the famous Hillary Clinton Star Of David tweet he rolled out last week.
That’s right – Hillary Clinton is The. Most. Corrupt. Candidate. Ever. Ladies and gentlemen!!! Bravo, Mrs. Clinton well done! Take a bow!
Or……………. Is she?
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted an image of rival Hillary Clinton alongside hundred-dollar bills and a Jewish star bearing the words "most corrupt candidate ever!", prompting outrage and bafflement on social media.
Two hours after his initial tweet, Trump tweeted a similar image in which the six-pointed Star of David - which appears on Israel's flag and which Jews were forced to wear on their clothing by the Nazis during the Holocaust - was replaced by a circle. The original tweet was deleted.
Critics said the image featuring the star harkened back to centuries-old anti-Semitic stereotypes, such as the belief that Jews are greedy.
"Just saw #DonaldTrump's Star of David tweet. I'm impressed by his ability to find a way to insult literally every kind of human being," screenwriter Cole Haddon wrote on Twitter.

But is Hillary Clinton really that corrupt? Take a look at what The Donald did last week:
Why Donald Trump buying $12K of Tebow gear could potentially be an IRS violation
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has many tremendous friends. Tom Brady of the Patriots is a tremendous friend. And maybe Tim Tebow is a tremendous friend too, because The Donald spent, according to the Washington Post, $12,000 of his foundation's money on a Tebow Broncos helmet and jersey several years ago.

And of course David Duke loves the Tweet:
Ex-KKK Grand Wizard David Duke expressed his gratitude and support for Donald Trump‘s tweet that used a red Star of David to accuse Hillary Clinton of corruption.
In one of a series of tweets published over the weekend, Duke said it was “ok” that Trump had replaced the image with the Star of David with one of a red circle, saying that “we welcome the hidden hand exposing itself.”
He also thanked Trump for “slipping some ‘Red Pills’ to the American people!” (“Red pill,” a term borrowed from The Matrix, typically refers to the men’s rights movement, but can be more broadly applied to any instance of one becoming aware of the secret nature of the world.)
Duke has been one of Trump’s troublesome supporters, and the candidate invited controversy back in February when he did not immediately disavow the former KKK leader’s endorsement. (He eventually did.) Duke subsequently took credit for a boost in Trump’s poll numbers.

And of course he attempted to justify the Tweet by comparing to what else? Frozen! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy!!!!
Over the weekend, Donald Trump tweeted a picture of Hillary Clinton next to a six-pointed star and piles of money, calling her the "most corrupt candidate ever." Soon after, a lot of people pointed out that this evoked some common anti-semitic tropes, and that the image had previously appeared on a white supremacist-leaning message board. Then Trump’s social media team hastily slapped a circle over the star and issued a Chewbacca defense-style explanation that involved the Microsoft Office Shapes tool and the premise that a sheriff’s badge "fit with the theme" of money and corruption. Then the campaign blamed the entire thing on "biased media," insisting that a candidate who routinely retweets apparent white supremacist accounts and refused to denounce former KKK grand wizard David Duke could not possibly condone anti-semitism.

And Hillary’s response was hilarious:
Sit down! Sit down! Go back to Univision and stop asking me questions I don’t know!
But this might be the funniest Trump moment to come along in the entire campaign:
[font size="8"]Donald Trump[/font]
Hey anyone remember that last entry when we had Donald Trump getting attacked by a mosquito? Can we roll tape on that again? I’m not getting tired of that.
And you know do we really need greased up Hercules telling us who to vote for? I mean seriously did we run out of credible people to ask their opinions so we resort to has been B-TV fundie movie stars now?
Kevin Sorbo, the God’s Not Dead actor who seems to think the film was a documentary, told TMZ yesterday that Jesus would totally vote for Donald Trump because he’s the “lesser of two evils.”
To his credit, the reporter pointed out that Jesus, who “grew up in the Middle East,” might not be able to visit America if President Trump has his way with immigration policy. Sorbo dismissed that argument with a knee-jerk, “I don’t think that’s true.”

But for this entry we got to talk about who’s *NOT* going to be Donald Trump’s running mate. So Donald Trump claims to have a list of 10 people who might be his potential running mate. Choose carefully there Donald because whoever does is going to be pulling your strings for the next 4, possibly 8 years.
Senator Bob Corker got a chance to campaign alongside Donald Trump up close and personal on Tuesday, and apparently he decided it wasn’t for him. A day after Corker appeared with the presumptive Republican nominee at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Tennessean told The Washington Post that he’s withdrawing himself from consideration as Trump’s running mate.
“There are people far more suited for being a candidate for vice president and I think I’m far more suited for other types of things,” he said. “It’s a highly political job and that’s not who I am.”
Corker was among the earliest Senate Republicans to embrace Trump, reportedly tutoring him on foreign policy. That drew VP buzz, but then Corker made several critical comments about Trump’s policies and tone, especially about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, and his stock in the veepstakes dropped. In his interview with the Post, however, Corker was very positive about Trump. “It was incredible to be with him in Raleigh and see the way people react to him,” he said. “They’re so excited and I truly believe he has such an opportunity ahead.”

At this point it’s probably easier to make a list of who *HASN’T* declined to be Donald Trump’s running mate. Was it Joni Ernst who was second behind Bob Corker?
Joni Ernst all but removed herself from Donald Trump’s vice presidential search, telling POLITICO in an interview that she wants to help Trump become president but that she’s focused on Iowa and the Senate, where the freshman senator said she's “just getting started.”
The GOP senator met with Trump on Monday and received effusive praise afterward, with Trump predicting he will “see her again.” But it likely won’t be as his running mate.
“I made that very clear to him that I’m focused on Iowa. I feel that I have a lot more to do in the United States Senate. And Iowa is where my heart is,” Ernst said Wednesday. “I’m just getting started here. I have a great partner with Chuck Grassley, we’ve been able to accomplish a lot. And I think that President Trump will need some great assistance in the United States Senate and I can provide that.”

Or how about Newt Gingrich? Who right now looks like the presumptive front runner? Hey two serial cheaters and divorcees running against Hillary Clinton? Please pass the butter!
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump said Wednesday he was "looking at 10 people" as potential vice presidential picks -- but it appears he's eyeing one in particular.
Sources close to the Trump campaign told NJ.com Thursday afternoon that former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is "the likely pick" to be the billionaire's running mate.
SEE ALSO: Trump's rumored female VP pick could rock the race
This comes a day after two other rumored candidates for the position, including early favorite Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, removed their names from the running.
Gingrich has been willing to criticize Trump in the past, just last month calling his remarks about the judge presiding over the Trump University civil fraud case "inexcusable."

Sources close to the Trump campaign told NJ.com Thursday afternoon that former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is "the likely pick" to be the billionaire's running mate.

But… Senator Corker had a weirder, creepier, and somehow appropriate suggestion of who should be Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee:
But… even if Newt declines (and he probably will), who will replace him as Trumpenfuror’s vice president? Why Bob Corker has a much weirder, and even creepier suggestion – Ivanka Trump!!! WTF!!
Forget readiness to be commander-in-chief. If beauty were the top job requirement for Vice President of the United States, Sen. Bob Corker and Eric Trump have just the candidate for Donald Trump – his daughter Ivanka.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker – who removed himself from the VP running on Wednesday – suggested that Trump pick his daughter Ivanka Trump as his running mate during an interview with NBC News.
"His best running mate by the way would be Ivanka," Corker advised. "I know that wouldn't pass muster probably but I don't know if I've met a more composed, brilliant, beautiful-in-every-way person."
Ivanka even has the support of her brother Eric, who told Fox & Friends on Thursday that his sister has "certainly got my vote."

So normally I would have used this entry to talk about the murder of Alton Sterling, I wont post the video of what happened here because I am trying to keep this somewhat safe for work. If you want to see the video go to Youtube. And I won’t use any funny memes or jokes for this entry. Because it’s really fucked up. But first we do have to talk about the murder of Alton Sterling while it’s still fresh.
The U.S. Justice Department will lead the investigation into the killing of a black man shot to death by Baton Rouge police, Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards announced Wednesday.
Alton Sterling was shot and killed early Tuesday outside a convenience store where he was selling CDs. Authorities say he was confronted by police after an anonymous caller said he saw a man threaten someone with a gun. In a cellphone video taken by a community activist, two officers had Sterling pinned to the ground, and gunfire erupted moments after someone yelled, "He's got a gun! Gun!"
Edwards said the video "is disturbing to say the least."
In a statement, the U.S. Justice Department said the FBI's New Orleans Division, the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Louisiana have opened a civil rights investigation into the 37-year-old's death. Louisiana State Police will assist, Edwards said.

Holy shit!!! This is so serious that the FBI is getting involved! And of course in order to give their talking points to their minions, Fox News brought on king racist Mark Furhman to discuss this horrifying event, because you know, he has some experience in this area.
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2016/07/07/3796170/fox-has-infamous-racist-discuss-sterlings-death/
On Wednesday, the world woke to a scene that is all too familiar in America: A black man, Alton Sterling, was shot and killed by the police (an alarm tragically repeated again on Thursday). A cellphone video shows Sterling pinned to the ground beneath two police officers when he is shot several times at point-blank range.
Protesters immediately gathered outside the convenience store where Sterling was killed. Outrage has mounted online; his death has been called a murder, an assassination, and a lynching. The Department of Justice announced that they would open a civil rights investigation into the case.
Fox News, meanwhile, invited on Mark Fuhrman, who first came to national attention when he was exposed as a blatant racist during the O.J. Simpson trial. Fuhrman argued that Sterling deserved his death.
“So they go there, and when you watch the escalation of force, first they verbalized, and he failed to comply with the verbal commands,” Fuhrman said. “They actually de-escalated the force that they could have used by tackling and then trying to grapple with the suspect.”

Hey Fox News…. I have one thing to say:
So news broke this week of yet another horrifying shooting this week and of course jack shit is going to be done about weapons in this country. We won’t get to what happened in Dallas this week because it will take a while to sort fact from fiction, but considering we’re doing double duty this week and next week, we won’t get to this until Wednesday. But believe me shit will go down in Wednesday’s edition! But we do have to point out what Joe Walsh did. You know if you’re an elected official (or in this case former), or anyone of any sort of importance, anything you say on a public domain like Twitter is just that – public! There are no take backs. Can we throw that Tweet up there?
A former Tea Party congressman from Illinois sent a series of tweets on Thursday night blaming the fatal police shootings in Dallas on President Barack Obama and declaring a war on “black lives matter punks.”
Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), who now hosts a nationally syndicated far-right radio show, posted a tweet warning that “Real America” was coming after Obama and Black Lives Matter activists at around midnight.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/joe-walsh-tweets-dallas-shootings
And you know what his excuse was? Twitter “made him” take it down!
In subsequent tweets that remained posted as of early Friday, he called the shooters "uneducated black thugs" and blamed Obama and the Black Lives Matter movement for the officers' deaths.
"I wasn't calling for violence, against Obama or anyone. Obama's words and BLM's deeds have gotten cops killed," he tweeted.
The Dallas police officers were shot during an anti-police brutality protest Thursday, police there said.
An unrepentant Walsh stood by his tweets Friday morning, saying in a Tribune interview: "Of course I didn't mean 'let's go kill Obama and Black Lives Matter.' I was not trying to incite violence against Obama and Black Lives Matter. That's crazy and stupid and wrong."

YES YOU DID ASSHOLE!!! YOU EXACTLY MEANT THAT!!!! You know the republicans and conspiracy theorists love the idea of a race war, but in reality, they have as much credibility of starting one as Cartman does.
[font size="8"]The Bathroom Police[/font]
So the bathroom police are back ladies and gentlemen. You know last week was a huge victory for trans rights activists as the US military finally overturned the ban on transgender service in the US military! That’s right – as the Huffington Post put it - trans people can now serve a country that routinely and acceptably throws them under the bus. But first I have to point out exactly how PC this country has become. We go to my home away from home, Denver, Colorado for this story:
DENVER - Parents in Denver are complaining after finding out their children attended a Cub Scout camp that was sponsored by Hooters.
KMGH-TV reports Michelle Kettleborough picked up her 7-year-old son from the Frontier District Day Camp and found him surrounded by people wearing Hooters visors.
But parents say it isn't the attire that irritates them - the women were wearing shorts and fitted T-shirts - but that Hooters doesn't fit the philosophy of the Scouts.

Quick! To the morality mobile!!
And will Caitlyn Jenner ever stop throwing her own people under the bus? First she wanted to be Ted Cruz’s trans ambassador (whatever that is), and now this:
“I’m on the conservative Republican side,” she said when asked about issues facing the transgender community. “I’m not excited with what Obama has done to the economy, to our Constitution, all that kind of stuff. But as far as the transgender community, they’ve actually been very good.”
“Everybody looks at the Democrats as being better with these issues,” she added. “But Trump seems to be very much for women. He seems very much behind the LGBT community because of what happened in North Carolina with the bathroom issue. He backed the LGBT community. But in Trump’s case, there’s a lot more unknowns. With Hillary, you pretty much know what you’re gonna get with the LGBT community.”

But now we need to get the crying baby out here again. Because a new survey found that fundamentalist Christians have a persecution complex. Really? We needed a survey for this? I could have told you that! Where’s my writers??? I need answers, damn it!!!
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/06/the-christians-who-believe-theyre-being-persecuted-in-america/488468/
Many, many Christians believe they are subject to religious discrimination in the United States. A new report from the Public Religion Research Institute and Brookings offers evidence: Almost half of Americans say discrimination against Christians is as big of a problem as discrimination against other groups, including blacks and minorities. Three-quarters of Republicans and Trump supporters said this, and so did nearly eight out of 10 white evangelical Protestants. Of the latter group, six in 10 believe that although America once was a Christian nation, it is no longer—a huge jump from 2012.
Polling data can be split up in a million different ways. It’s possible to sort by ethnicity, age, political party, and more. The benefit of sorting by religion, though, is that it highlights people’s beliefs: the way their ideological and spiritual convictions shape their self-understanding. This survey suggests that race is not enough to explain the sense of loss some white Americans seem to feel about their country, although it’s part of the story; the same is true of age, education level, and political affiliation. People’s beliefs seem to have a distinctive bearing on how they view changes in American culture, politics, and law—and whether they feel threatened. No group is more likely to express this fear than conservative Christians.

Which is funny because they’re the ones doing most of the persecuting. In fact as many as 10 different states are filing to prevent trans students from using the bathroom of their choice:
Ten states sued the federal government Friday over rules requiring public schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms conforming to their gender identity, joining a dozen other states in the latest fight over LGBT rights.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Nebraska and included nine other states: Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
The filing comes after 11 states sued in May over the same Obama administration directive. North Carolina officials also sued the federal government in May over the same issue. Vast sums of federal funding are at stake: Money could be withheld from public schools that refuse to comply with the federal directive.

But really the bathroom police lost a huge one this week. You know this week the US military has finally overturned the ban on trans military service. Let’s discuss this in further detail:
'Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter on Thursday removed one of the final barriers to military service by lifting the Pentagon’s ban on transgender people serving openly in the armed forces.
The decision pushes forward a transformation of the military that Mr. Carter has accelerated in the last year with the opening of all combat roles to women and the appointment of the first openly gay Army secretary. He made his feelings on ending the transgender ban clear last year, when he called it outdated and ordered officials across the military to begin examining what would need to be done to lift the prohibition.'>>>

But not everyone is excited about this ruling including actual transgender people. You know, I wonder, how will this affect our military bases in North Carolina?
Chelsea Manning has made an impassioned critique against the US military’s new rules allowing transgender people openly to serve in the armed forces, arguing that the reforms fall short of true equality.
Writing for the Guardian from her prison cell in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where she is serving a 35-year sentence for leaking US state secrets to WikiLeaks, Manning raised two main objections to the revised policies.

And this isn’t stopping lawmakers from running anti-LGBT smear campaigns similar to what George W. Bush did in 2000:
North Carolina lawmakers are taking steps to set aside a half-million dollars for the legal defense of a law limiting protections for LGBT people.
The funds received preliminary approval from a Senate committee Thursday as the yearly legislative session neared its end.

But trans people never fear – it’s not all doom and gloom! Things are getting better! You have an ally now! I’m of course talking about Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith, who champions himself as a pioneer for trans rights by being a guy who openly wears skirts and dress-type garments in public!
Jaden Smith has become better known for his eye-catching style than his movies as of late—and he's OK with that.
Will Smith's son, now the face of Louis Vuitton, has been breaking fashion barriers in his everyday style for a while now, often wearing skirts or even opting for a white Batman suit to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding. In his latest campaign for Louis Vuitton, Jaden wears a patterned skirt and crocheted shirt—not the typical male ensemble.
Jaden is Nylon magazine's August cover star, and inside the pages he explains why he dresses the way he does and how he manages to pull it off. "You just have to believe in yourself, you know," Jaden says of where he draws his confidence. "The world is going to keep bashing me for whatever I do, and I'm going to keep not caring. I'm going to keep doing the same things—I'm going to keep doing more things."

And of course you know every time the bathroom police need to harass trans people, here comes the obligatory sex crime, and they definitely did not leave me with a shortage of material this week:
A former Ohio seminary student who pleaded guilty to trying to adopt and buy baby girls in Mexico so he could sexually molest them will be sentenced in San Diego Friday.
In April, Joel Alexander Wright, 23, admitted to seeking sex with infants he wanted to adopt from Tijuana. In his plea agreement, Wright admitted he had written numerous explicit emails where he described, in graphic detail, how his desires to sexually assault baby girls under the age of four in Mexico.

[font size="8"]Ark Theme Park[/font]
Theme parks. You know those places where you pay $150 to stand in line for 2 hours for a ride that lasts 2 minutes. But this particular theme park is based in Kentucky was built by Ken “I’ll pay atheists $10,000 for proof Jesus exists” Ham, and was proven that the “college” he went to was really run out of some guy’s house, and has no rides. So why would people go? Because it’s a “life size” replica of Noah’s Ark.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. – As visitors bustled about the third deck of an imposing Noah’s Ark replica, Faye Toler sat in quiet reflection.
She rode a bus all the way from Pensacola, Fla., with other seniors from East Brent Baptist Church for opening day of the Ark Encounter, which features a full-size ark as described in the Bible's book of Genesis.
“It actually takes you – and I was surprised to see this – from the beginning to the very end for the crucifixion" of Jesus, Toler said, looking across the vast expanse of timber. “To me, it’s seeing God’s word fulfilled. … It’s awesome just to see the size of it. We have electricity, equipment. And they were doing all this by hand. To me, that is unimaginable.

But this is intriguing some actual scientists. Bill Nye is planning on visiting the park. Why Bill Nye??? Why??? Will Neil DeGrasse Tyson also tour this theme park?
It appears Bill Nye, "the Science Guy," will get a private tour of the Noah's Ark model in Grant County from the creationist he debated two years ago.
Creationist leaders confirmed Answers in Genesis founder Ken Ham invited Nye to the Ark Encounter exhibit and Nye accepted. He will tour the 500-foot-long ark sometime on Friday. Messages to Nye's publicists were not returned.
Nye and Ham debated creationism versus science in February 2014 at the Creation Museum in Petersburg. The debate drew to the Creation Museum worldwide attention and publicity, which some see as a watershed that opened the floodgates for donations to pay for the $100 million ark exhibit.

Fox News. That network you turn to when you want to have attractive blonde women in short skirts tell you how to think for this week’s outrage du jour. So would you be surprised to learn that Fox News has a long history of sexual harassment? Well… we’re not surprised either! I mean seriously is Roger Ailes the Zapp Branagin of TV news journalists?
Longtime Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has filed a lawsuit against the network’s chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, alleging that she was dismissed after she rebuffed Ailes’ sexual advances.
The lawsuit, which has been obtained by TheWrap, was filed on Wednesday in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Yup! So that’s what we’re dealing with here folks. What’s even scarier is that this is turning into a Bill Cosby type of situation.
What does that even mean?
But seriously here’s where things get fucking weird:
According to the complaint, he “ogl Carlson in his office and ask her to turn around so he could view her posterior.” He noted that “certain outfits enhanced Carlson’s figure,” and urged her “to wear them every day.” He made repeated comments “about Carlson’s legs” (Ailes is apparently obsessed with his female anchors’ legs). He told her that “if he could choose one person to be stranded with on a desert island, she would be that person.” He told others, in her presence, that he had slept with “three former Miss Americas but not with her.” He told her she was “sexy,” but “too much hard work.” And he told her to lay off complaining about sexual harassment, accusing her of being “offended so God damn easy about everything.” This all comes on top of the headline quote: “I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better.”

https://newrepublic.com/minutes/134894/details-gretchen-carlsons-sexual-harassment-suit-roger-ailes-creepy
Somehow that last one is surprisingly fitting. But getting back to Carlson, that is truly beyond creepy. I mean wearing skirts that “enhanced the female form”? Holy crap! This doesn’t get any better for you, Ailes. You can’t try and deny it!
Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes responded forcefully Wednesday night to a lawsuit filed by Gretchen Carlson after her contract was not renewed as a daytime host at the network, calling the allegations “false” and “offensive.”
In the wake of Carlson’s suit against Ailes, which alleged sexual harassment and wrongful termination, the network’s parent company, 21st Century Fox, said it had launched an internal review of conduct by Ailes and by Steve Doocy, Carlson’s former co-host on “Fox & Friends.” The statement said the company has “full confidence” in Ailes and Doocy.

But now here’s where the situation gets more Cosby-esque – as many as 10 different women have contacted Carlson’s attorneys alleging harassment against Ailes. Holy crap, he really is Zapp Branagin! :
Attorneys for former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson were contacted by 10 women in the wake of their lawsuit against the network’s CEO, Roger Ailes, CNN’s Brian Stelter reported on Wednesday afternoon.
“I just spoke with one of the attorneys involved in Carlson’s suit,” Stelter said in video posted by Media Matters, adding that the women reached out “because they say they also have stories to share about treatment by Roger Ailes.”

[font size="8"]Religious Nuts[/font]
Religious nuts. You know – that crazy uncle who nobody wants to sit next to at Thanksgiving because he will spend most of dinner shouting insane conspiracy theories about “teh geys!!!” and anyone who’s not a straight religious white male? Well a favorite insane punching bag of the Top 10 – Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson is really America’s crazy uncle. Every time this guy shoots his mouth off to pander to the religious crazies, I really want to believe these people aren’t for real. They can’t be for real. Can they? So the Duck guy himself was in Colorado giving an incredibly bizarre rant to cate to the pro family crowd:
Here’s a clip of video from the speech given at last weekend’s Western Conservative Summit at the Colorado Convention Center by Phil Robertson, the controversial patriarch of the reality TV Duck Dynasty family. Known for his far-right and frequently offensive ramblings, Robertson rallied the crowd at WCS ’16 to raucous cheering several times.
Including with this bit about how the gays are at “behind” 160,000 murders in the United States during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Don’t take our word for it, we’ll let the Duck Commander himself ‘splain.

But you know what? We don’t need to transcribe it for you, let’s roll tape on this. And he has a *BIZARRE* obsession with what people do in the bathroom. And I do mean bizarre.
That’s right! Teh gheys are the cause of all the murders in the last six years! So not only has Phil Robertson gone off the rails and solved America’s gun problems (
), he’s also got definitive proof that Jesus existed. Much like the Duck Dynasty Bible. It’s a product that exists and you can buy it in a store, but we both know that it sure as shit isn’t Christian!
So getting back to Phil Robertson and his insane theory that Jesus existed – much like his insane theory about bathrooms (see Idiots #27 ) - that I just… I can’t… I don’t…. what the fuck!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the strangest nuts that fell off the Pecan tree, is offering proof to the world that Jesus Christ existed and we all have that proof - The calendar. Of course, it's so clear - Why didn't I see it there on my wall? Jesus Christ, walked the earth.
Phil, I'm O.K., Robertson of the Duck Family at a conference (love that - gathering of loons) spoke about bathrooms and same sex marriage, "But the strangest moment of all may have been when he offered “proof” of Jesus Christ: the calendar.
“It is 2,016 years since Jesus showed up, right?” he said. “So don’t tell me he wasn’t here.” WOW - Good enough, the Vatican is good for another 2,000 years.
Hey, Phil - that calendar was sorta forced down humanities throat wasn't it . And how about the various other calendar's being used in other countries and other religion

Sigh… Roll tape.
So with that out of the way, another insane family who became inexplicably popular and crashed and burned hard is the Duggar family. And we first talked about this freak show back in Idiots #1 with the fallout from Josh Duggar’s molestation scandal. Now Jim Bob won’t shut up about molestation:
http://reverbpress.com/news/jim-bob-duggar-molestation-common-christian-families-video/
Jim Bob Duggar dropped a bomb about Christian families like his own that everyone missed during the disastrous Fox News interview last June.
Perhaps it was just another way to excuse his son Josh’s pedophilia, or perhaps he was throwing other crazy conservative “Christian” families under a speeding bus, but either way, Jim Bob Duggar made a statement to Fox News that seems to prove just how dangerous sexually repressive Christian doctrine is to children and teens.
As Jim Bob Duggar spoke while his subservient wife stayed quiet, he claimed that child molestation is common in Christian families, especially the families he sought advice from in the wake of learning that Josh molested four of his own sisters while they slept.
“It was a very difficult situation. But as we talked to other parents and different ones since then, a lot of families have said that they have had similar things that happened in their families.”

Hey Jim Bob… shut the fuck up. Stop talking now. Every word you say trying to justify this is worse than the one that preceded it.
[font size="8"]Nazi Fashion Show[/font]
How fitting is this for the number 9 (NEIN!!!!) slot this week that we actually get to talk about something Nazi related? I’ve railed on America’s neo Nazi and white supremacist population since I started the Top 10 back last year. But it’s also incredibly easy to make jokes about the Nazis and Nazi culture. And you know just like conservative idiots, white supremacism has become an international problem that’s stemming far and wide with white supremacy ruining just about everything that it touches. So we head across the pond to Scotland for this story.
A Scottish woman, who goes by the disturbing pseudonym “A-Bus-Full-of-Retards,” was named the winner of the Miss Hitler 2016 competition.
The pageant was held by the Britain-based radical youth movement National Action.
The woman, who was interviewed under her pseudonym for the competition, said she was an NA activist who had dedicated her life to the group.
“I enjoy reading, browsing esoteric memes, and watching the reds lose their s*** over our publicity stunts,” she said.
In photos uploaded to the group’s website, the brunette can be seen posing wearing a kilt and a T-shirt with the National Action insignia on it.
In every photo, her face is half covered with a black skull scarf, and in some she appears to be doing the Nazi salute.

I know……….. Santa! Let’s talk about Santa for the rest of this entry! Everybody loves Santa, don’t they? I know I do! Ha ha ha ha ha…. So you know this week attracted one of the world’s largest gatherings of professional Santas in the world in Branson, Missouri, right?
You've heard of Christmas in July -- for special sales and promotions or alternative birthday parties for children born near Christmas. But if you're in Branson between July 6 and 10, you'll definitely think the holiday season is here, regardless of the summer temperatures. That's because the international Santa convention is coming to town.
More than 800 Santas and Mrs. Claus from all 50 states plus Europe, Asia and Australia will attend Discover Santa 2016, along with hundreds of vendors, sponsors and friends. Red suits and long white beards will be spotted everywhere.
The event marks the tenth anniversary of the original Discover Santa convention in 2006 in Branson.

We need some more Fourth Of July songs that aren’t written by Lee Greenwood. So how did you celebrate your Fourth Of July? Did you go to a sporting event? Or a concert? Or maybe a day at the park to watch some cheaply produced local fireworks shows? Or perhaps you did what I did every year and watch the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. I love the Hot Dog Eating Contest. I mean where else do you see “reversal of fortune” written as a rule for disqualification? That means you puked, and I’m pretty sure there was more of that going on watching at home then there was at the actual competition.
Holy shit! 70 hot dogs! And you know my favorite part of the Hot Dog Eating Contest? When ESPN does the after coverage of the HDEC and talks about how many calories worth’ of hot dogs the winner consumed. So 70 hot dogs. 70!!! 70!!!!!!! Why is my voice getting so high? Which is 19,600 calories’ worth of hot dogs. Which translates to 33½ Big Macs, or 173 slices of meat lovers’ pizza from Pizza Hut. Or an entire Oreo cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Because everything at the Cheesecake Factory has 2 tons of fat.
OK I’m getting carried away here. For this entry we got to talk about, yes, Taylor Swift, who celebrated 4th of July in the most Taylor Swift way possible. You know most long time viewers of the Top 10 know that I’m a huge fan of the Marvel movies. But I am not a Taylor Swift fan by any means. So imagine my disgust, if you will, when I saw that Taylor Swift was dating none other than Loki himself, the great Tom Hiddleston. A man who might be the next James Bond. And the news is too nauseating to report, so instead we’re going to break down this Vulture article Idiots style, with of course the hilarious memes and clips you come to expect from the Top 10.
Ah, the Fourth of July: a time to grill, to watch fireworks, to celebrate the birth of this great nation, and to wonder whether celebrities are lying to us. See, Taylor Swift has turned her annual Fourth of July party into an Instagram event, predicated not on basking in the refracted glow of celebrity (though there is some of that), but on trying to figure out how much of that glow is artificial. Is this anything like anyone’s actual Fourth of July party? More importantly, is it fun?

Yes, that is an excellent question! Is it fun? Of course a Fourth Of July party is fun if it’s got a giant 15 foot water slide, there’s plenty of food, drink, and famous guests. And Uncle Joey didn’t get sent to the emergency room to reattach his thumb after a fireworks mishap.
Part 2 – The Guest List
Regulars: Gigi Hadid (+10, friends), Cara Delevingne (+10, partners in crime), Karlie Kloss (+20, besties), Abigail Anderson (+20, also besties), Matt Lucier (+5, husband), Martha Hunt, Jordan Masterson (+5, sure), Uzo Aduba (+15, can sing; -30, too cool, throwing off the balance) Austin Swift (+40, brother), Este Haim (+5, a Haim).
Surprises: Ruby Rose (+20, random, but every party needs a Cool, and it is the Cool’s duty to be random), Harley Gusman (+5, girlfriend of the Cool), Ryan Reynolds (-10, Deadpool doesn’t do parties; +15, Ryan Reynolds does), Blake Lively (-100, in on it).

Wait – what the wha?????????????????? Ryan Reynolds was a guest? I thought Deadpool didn’t do parties!
Now this might be the strangest / creepiest / weirdest part of this whole shindig, and that’s a word I hardly ever get to use:
Part 2b – The Case of Hiddleston
Taylor Swift is dating Tom Hiddleston (-100 for believability; +50, not entirely out of the blue, when you really think hard about Tom Hiddleston).
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston went to Rome (+5, Rome is cool).
Tom Hiddleston wore a tank top that said “I ❤ T.S.” (+50, lame, but in a believable way; +15, it could be about T.S. Eliot; -50, dude, it’s definitely not about T.S. Eliot; -200, he wore it in the ocean; -300, he also had a temporary tattoo with a “T” surrounded by a heart and we aren’t in the third grade).

Why the fuck would Taylor Swift’s own boyfriend wear an “I love Taylor Swift” t-shirt??? That’s like the Duck Dynasty Bible we talked about earlier in this edition. They can call it a religious book all they want, but add the Duck Dynasty morons, and it turns something authentic into something extremely cheap. But in true internet fashion there’s a lot of conspiracy theories abound.
Taylor Swift: are you for real? Conspiracy theorists are going into overdrive after Tom’s tank-top declaration of love for Taylor, but this isn’t the first time she’s inspired some majorly crackpot theories…
1. Swiddleston is actually a music video
We’ve written a pretty comprehensive breakdown of this whole Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston romance here, and it’s safe to say we’re a teeny bit cynical. Taylor isn’t usually quite so private with her love life on social media (RIP, Calvin Harris anniversary locket), so why the radio silence when it comes to Hiddleston?

Yup! That’s the biggest takeaway from this insane party – Taylor Swift might be using her romance as a music video! Or maybe it’s just total bullshit.
Currently popping up on all the websites you use to distract yourself from the misery and snoredom of your professional life is a conspiracy theory which posits that Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston—the newest celebrity couple making me want to fork my eyeballs straight outta my head—are staging their relationship for the sake of performance art. Here’s something that’s not a theory: Whether they’re in a fake romance or not, Swift and Hiddleston are fucking dweebs and they’re both in need of a chill pill.
As previously covered by Jezebel, Swift and Hiddleston frolicked in the surf at her Rhode Island home over Fourth of July weekend, alongside Swift’s other famous pals Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, and Abigail, the one who gave everything (as in sex) for nothing in “Fifteen.” During their romp, Hiddleston, like a tween who just grew boobs and doesn’t know what to do with them, wore a cloying “I LOVE TS” tank top in the water, while Swift sported a new pair of... sunglasses... and a patriotic bikini.
