Orly Taitz is one of the most famous birthers in the country, after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. So she paid attention to the news on Thursday and Friday, when Trumps campaign and then the candidate himself finally acknowledged that President Barack Obama was born in the United States.
Taitz, a California-based dentist and lawyer who is sometimes called the birther queen, disagrees. But she said she still supports Trump, and does not think his comments were a blow to her years-long effort to expose what she believes is a cover-up of Obamas true origins.
People understand that we are just 53 days before the election ― were just eight weeks before the election, she said in an interview. So Donald Trump is doing what he needs to do. The most important thing is for him to win and to make this country great. This movement was never about Donald Trump, the movement was about Barack Obama.

I thought Cheeto Benito was spewing bullshit in a lame attempt to placate the White ladies and gentlemen in the Philadelphia suburbs and moderate Whites in Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Nevada, and North Hampshire who are queasy about voting for a bigot. He never seriously courted the African American vote as evidenced by his snubbing the NAACP on more than one occasion and entering only one Black Church, ever. Well, if you count that debacle in Flint, it's 2. He conscientiously avoided African American communities around the country, most recently Milwaukee after riots erupted protesting the killing of another Black man by the police. He held his event 40 miles away from Milwaukee in a community that is 98% White, but he kept referring to himself "being in Milwaukee" instead of what appears to be an all-White town.
He's getting a pass from his deplorable base by slyly placing Birther McInerny front and center at his hotel infomercial. It was a wink and a nod to his bigoted base that he's only doing it to appear more electable, but his heart is still with them. Orly Taitz even said so.
There is nothing too low for Cheeto Benito. He's a two-bit dictator wannabe who is having delusions of grandeur and seems to think he will be able to push people around like is role models Benito and Adolf.
Mere words are sadly inadequate to describe loathsome, vile, dishonest, dangerous, and un-American he and his supporters are. I can't believe this is America, 206.

(13,603 posts)That's precisely right. The "movement" behind Trump has the same motivation that everything related to the republicans' obstruction for the past 8 years: A "negro" was elected president.

(34,403 posts)California Bar hasn't disbarred her ass for clogging up the courts with all her ridiculous, ludicrous "lawsuits." Have you ever read anything she's filed? They look and sound like something an childish middle school student would file with the court. Typos, incorrect interpretations of the law, citing gossip sites on the web as "proof" that Obama is a gay serial killer with 18 Social Security numbers (seriously), the list goes on. Oh, apologies to childish middle schoolers. And who in their right mind would let that nut get anywhere near their teeth with a drill?!?
The mind boggles...Perhaps Cheeto Benito could name her both Attorney General and Surgeon General!
