I totally believe that. I mean, guys, come on! This guy blew his brains out because of it! So it must be true! Its not like he had any actual proof of this and that he probably blew his brains out because he was mentally ill, as evidenced by his conspiracy theory!

But if its actually true (which it isnt 99,999999%) I will sit here safe in Germany and watch the shit show unfold.

Lots of conspiracy theories out there, like the illuminati theory, the flat earth theory,etc. Maybe true, maybe not, information for some, rubbish for some, and in the end ,it all comes to what you believe in.

USA Political Cartoon

 

[enlytend]

All of which are unproven, despite numerous investigations (at the taxpayers expense), and most of which are unsupported insinuations which originated in the mouth of her opponent.

Meanwhile, some of Dick Drumpfs "accomplishments:"
Never held political office. (And 8 years ago one of the big objections to Obama was HIS lack,of experience???!!!)
Used daddy's money to build a business.
Despite this, almost went under. Had to be bailed out by multiple banks back in the 90s
Multiple bankruptcies
Cheated local businesses by not paying his bills
Won't disclose his tax returns. Why?
Entitled whining crybaby - can't take any responsibility for his words or his actions. If he's losing, must be someone else's fault. If he says something stupid, somebody "tried to bait him". Anyone criticizes him, he bans them. Waah, waah, waah.
Trying to rig voting through voter intimidation in states where he thinks he's losing.
...

As for "says mean things" and being "misinterpreted" that doesn't fly on a global stage. "Hey Kim Jong - I got some YUGE nukes for ya....Just being sarcastic" Yeah, let's see how that works out.

Rudy Giuliani, was wondering why he was trending on Twitter:

"Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn't have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States. They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office."

I think it might be a nice idea to delete the Monica Lewinsky post. What's the point of bullying and slut-shaming a woman for 30 years? She was never a politician, and I just find that treatment of her to be pointlessly cruel and misogynistic. That's the stuff I expect from Clinton supporters.

 

[johname]

30 years?

That would make her 13 years old when "it" happened

It was a proven lie while a President was in office, and now on the campaign trail for his spouse, so some degree of talking about it is still acceptable

 

[Domainace]

I was going by the post, didn't check her actual age. Of course it's still relevant to talk about it. What I find offensive is the hateful and sexist language directed at a woman who did not choose to be a public figure, and who made a mistake that could have been made by anyone of her age at that time.

With all the truly horrible people in the world, why aim barbs at this woman for her entire life?

This sort of bullying is really not all that different from the social media slut-shaming that drives teenage girls to suicide. It's the same attitude.

This guy Trump has to be the worst businessmen, candidate and possibly person I have ever seen. This guy can't even put together an effective campaign team. Either Trump is just plain stupid, or senile, or wants to lose. I love a good battle but this is shaping up to be whatever is bigger than a landslide.

Caught a little news today...


Carl Paladino - Co-Chair Of NY Trump Camp
“All right, I don’t care if he’s a Gold Star parent," he continued. "He certainly doesn’t deserve that title, OK, if he’s as anti-American as he’s illustrated in his speeches and in his discussion. I mean, if he’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or supporting, you know, the ISIS-type of attitude against America, there’s no reason for Donald Trump to have to honor this man.”

Paladino, who made a failed bid for governor of New York in 2010, went on to say that he does not feel that Trump should change his rhetoric in any way and that no one can be sure that President Obama is not a Muslim.

Paul Manafort - Trump Campaign Manager
Well, I don't know about the quote. I don't know about the quote. I'll have to check into the situation. Certainly Mr. Trump has made it very clear that, uh, he recognizes the sacrifices of all Gold Star parents, uh, and he... he empathized for that loss and he talked about the importance of, uh, having a policy that will reduce the risk of terrorist threats in America and around the world.

Paul Manafort, has been named in an investigation by Ukrainian authorities looking at whether he and others received millions in illegal payments from Ukraine's former pro-Russian ruling party, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Donald Trump
Today said that the United States will partner with any nation willing to fight Islamic terrorism, specifically mentioning Russia, saying the United States would conduct “joint military operations”

Called for "extreme" ideological vetting of immigrants seeking admission to the United States, vowing to significantly overhaul the country's screening process and block those who sympathize with extremist groups or don't embrace American values.

Trump aides said the government would use questionnaires, social media, interview with family and friends or other means to vet applicants' stances on issues including religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights. Trump did not clarify how U.S. officials would assess the veracity of responses to the questionnaires or how much manpower it would require to complete such arduous vetting.

So lets see, Donald Trump wants to:
- Conduct torture
- Hunt suspects and kill their families
- Control the media
- Become some kind of partner with Russia
- Give tax loopholes to the rich and nothing for the middle class
- Incite racism, bigotry and violence against those that oppose him
- Give jobs to his donors
- Mock handicapped people
- Call our POW's losers not winners
- Hide his tax returns because of probable fraud
- Break up NATO
- God only knows what else... Anyone interested can continue the list...
