As if this election wasn't batshit crazy enough, now we have this. And not surprisingly the California KKK's Grand Dragon sounds a few cans short of a six-pack:

The UK Telegraph report has 11,000 FB shares.

Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the Klan’s California chapter and responsible for recruitment in the western United States, is less keen to give Mr Trump the dubious benefit of his support.

“We want Hillary Clinton to win,” Mr Quigg told The Telegraph. “She is telling everybody one thing, but she has a hidden agenda. She’s telling everybody what they want to hear so she can get elected, because she’s Bill Clinton’s wife, she’s close to the Bushes. [But] once she’s in the presidency, she’s going to come out and her true colours are going to show.

He was unwilling to disclose how he learned of Mrs Clinton’s “hidden agenda”. “I cannot reveal my sources,” he said. “It’s my opinion - if you know what I mean, wink, wink. I don’t want her to come back and say I’m slandering her.”

“Border policies are going to be put in place. Our second amendment rights [favouring gun ownership] that she’s saying she’s against now, she’s not against. She’s just our choice for the presidency.”

And as reported via USA Today:

London's Guardian newspaper reported Monday that California Ku Klux Klan grand dragon Will Quigg was endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

Quigg said he was supporting Clinton because he said she has a “hidden agenda.”

“She’s telling everybody what they want to hear so she can get elected, because she’s Bill Clinton’s wife, she’s close to the Bushes. Once she’s in the presidency, she’s going to come out and her true colors are going to show,” Quigg said in the Telegraph. “Border policies are going to be put in place. Our second amendment rights that she’s saying she’s against now, she’s not against. She’s just our choice for the presidency.”

The Telegraph asked Quigg about why he went back on his endorsement of Trump. He said that was before they had found out what Clinton’s “main agenda” was. In addition, Quigg’s group has some sort of disagreement with former national KKK leader David Duke.

“David Duke, we found out, was supporting Donald Trump,” Quigg told The Telegraph. “And we have nothing to do with David Duke.”

4. Well, now I've seen everything.

I'm beginning to think that this election can't end soon enough. I shudder to think what further madness we are all going to be subjected to. The rest of the world--at least that part of it that isn't already crazy--must be terrified at what is going on here.

5. After the stink Wee Donald made in the UK over his elite golf course

the Brits have a realistically, low opinion of him already. He took a legal fight all the way to the UK Supreme court, trying to block a wind farm which would be in sight of the beach of his golf course. He lost of course. Scots wha hae, and all that!

Donald Trump loses battle to 'protect' Scottish golf course from wind farm
(headline)
UK Supreme Court rejects Donald Trump's argument that building a wind farm near his Scottish golf resort will spoil players' views (subheadline)

US billionaire Donald Trump has suffered a blow after the UK’s highest court rejected his bid to stop a wind farm being built near his luxury Scottish golf resort. The presidential hopeful had been trying to block construction of offshore wind turbines, which he claims will spoil the view of golfers playing at his Trump International Golf Links venue in Aberdeenshire.

However, in a boost for the green energy industry, five Supreme Court judges unanimously ruled against Mr Trump’s argument that the turbines are a “dangerous experiment with wind energy”.

His golf course – where players can expect to pay a standard green fee of £165 – and hotel development on the Menie Estate has been a source of contention for years. Environmentalists have claimed it damages valuable wilderness land - something Mr Trump has strenuously denied, arguing that the development has actually protected wildlife and improved the natural habitat.

Mr Trump has been battling plans by Vattenfall and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group to build a wind farm capable of generating power for almost 70,000 homes since 2013.
