Hal 9000 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 So, If bringing out Alicia Muchado was something that america had to see and releasing Trumps audio tapes were something that america should hear, why then are the CNN pundits calling it disgusting that Trump brought out Hillary and Bills assault victims? The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronald Reagan I have said that the Western world is just as violent as the Islamic world - Dialamah Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball

Not at all, I dislike Trump nearly as much as I do the Clintons.......if I were voting in this election I would hold my nose and vote Trump simply based on policies he has alluded too, versus the corrupt and dishonest Clinton(s)........of the two crappy choices, I'd liken the global instability of the Obama years to continue in a Clinton administration, hence making it more likely if anyone was to have their finger on the button it would be Clinton.

Americans are witnessing the crackup of the Post Cold War American electoral strategy of “Nice White Woman”, ironically brought about by Clinton in 92 and partly destroyed by Hillary and her obnoxious nagging establishment feminists. While establishment feminists and polygamist Mormons on the same scolding side of the boat, capsizing is imminent. America and the West have since 1992 pandered to the sensibilities to that figment of our imagination the Sainted Woman so electoral politics and our government reflect that and address everything in a small minded, petty and vindictive manner as women do when challenged.
msj Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 No doubt I dislike Trump but I prefer him to get elected because he is the President I think the US deserves. Perhaps I have a pathological hatred of the US or perhaps I just want to grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the next four years.... I do like to be ENTERTAINED! If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

I wonder how many Democrat and Republican politicians who are "disgusted" with Trump's WORDS have used the talents of an escort to "relieve" pressure? Let’s analyze the debate without the shrill hyperbole. Cooper wasted no time to bring up the p*ssy comment. When he received an apology, he did not relent, he used it as an opportunity to recover any journalistic credentials he never really had. So intent on throwing out his “tough” questions he ignored, and cut-off, the answers. Here’s the thing, Trump was not a politician at the time. he was a jet-setting billionaire bon vivant running a beauty pageant. He was not a public official. If it was Mick Jagger, or Snoop Dog it would not matter. It would be laughed at. The total hypocrisy is the fact that in the audience was a former president, and potential first-philanderer, who penetrated an intern with a Cohiba and then placed it into his mouth before receiving oral sex in a government office. He had sex (oral) with an intern in a government office, but they dare bring up Trump carrying on about grabbing a girl’s “p*ssy”? Really. Men do at times talk this way. If people, and especially women, don’t think they do, then they are only lying to themselves. We then have Clinton blaming the Russians again. We then have her defend the totally ironic position of American strategy to defeat Assad, allow the destruction of Syria, the spread of ISIS, rather than defeating ISIS first. The insane US policy of WANTING Assad, first and foremost, to fall is the cause of the dire situation in “what is Aleppo?” Here’s the answer: Aleppo is when you are not content with initiating and fomenting regime change in a part of the world despite the deaths and suffering of millions. The media last night set the tone so they could lament it in a week’s worth of press afterward. “Scandalous” by their very making. It took 2 unhinged moderators to deliver it. Now, more hypocrisy and feigned indignation… to sell, sell, sell the spectacle. Wake up dummies.

Do you really think anyone would elect Snoop Dog as President? What sexual assault? Billy C's? Trump, having apologized for his words of a decade ago, said that the publication of the record is an attempt to distract voters’ attention from the really serious problems facing the United States, and, judging by the voter’s, they agree with him, not with the hypocrites of the Republican Party elite. In any case, even after this scandal, experts in opinion polls from Fox5 channel could not outrun their colleagues from CNN and attribute to Clinton’s advantage of more than 5%. But they seriously calculated using these figures to convince Trump to withdraw his candidacy, but he angrily rejected such a possibility, and promised in return to raise the question of the relation of Hillary Clinton to the victims of sexual violence. And he hinted that it’s not just about her protection of her husband, who almost became impeached in connection with the “non-sexual” relationship with Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office of the White House and is related to the recording of a young lawyer, Hillary Clinton, that recently appeared on the Internet. In this record, Hillary Clinton, laughing, said on the sidelines of the court that, after her client was able to pass polygraph test to prove his innocence, she lost all confidence in this device. The problem is that this client was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl and a lawyer, Hillary Clinton won the case, accusing the victim of immoral behavior and almost of prostitution. As a result, the girl was hospitalized in a psychiatric institution, the rapist was freed to repeat his crime, and the lawyer, who achieved this 40 years ago, now is trying to break into the White House, trying using anecdotal accusations not just to win against Donald Trump, but also to prevent a serious discussion of the problems, facing the United States.

Hal 9000 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 And another thing, why is DeNiro applauded for calling men (as in Trump) a dog, a pig and stupid...and how he wants to punch him in the face, when Trump is ostracized and called a misogynist for saying less than that to Rosie O'Donnell? Maybe DeNiro hates men, maybe Trump treats women equally.

?Impact Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Now Trump is using Russian disinformation straight from the Kremlin. Tonight at his rally he held up an e-mail that was modified by the Russians and then taken down by them once they were exposed. It only was available for a short time, but Trump got his little fingers on it quickly. No need to use the Presidents hotline, he already has one installed.

As to Trump, his protectionist policies will likely deflate the economy to such a point that a debt bubble won't be a problem.
msj Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 That's the thing about Trump: he doesn't even have to have a policy and it is just assumed that this guy who "tells it like it is" will implement effective policy. The guy can't even operate a casino without generating losses for debt holders and shareholders as he enriches himself. But sure, the taxpayers (who are essentially the debt holders and shareholders) will do just swell by him. Oh, and I'm not talking about economic policy.
