President Donald J. Trump

How would you know? Alex Jones said so? You could fertilise Death Valley, you're so full of shit.

Glad to see you took time away from sucking muslim rapefugee cock to post.

The FBI actually found zero links or evidence regarding the "russians" hacking e-mails or accounts or interfering in the election.

You may resume your muslim rapfugee cock sucking!

[Yorkshire pud]

No. Your mom told me...and you know she blows all the most powerful people in Britain. 

As I said, you're full of shit.

And the PanAm explosion? That didn't happen either. Phew.

You're the expert on that subject. 

[Yorkshire pud]

You're the expert on that subject. 

I think we're all fairly proficient in knowing you're full of shit. Ian't just me.

He was against it bigly.

It doesn't matter if he only said it to his gardener. He wasn't in politics at the time. He wasn't part of the military industrial complex. He wasn't a neocon.

p.s. Hillary was in politics. Hillary voted for the war. The record is clear in that aspect.

I might agree with you- but now I am actually looking.  Rather than just say that he was for the war but changed positions, or saying he was a private citizen and did not really say much publicly, he claims to have been so outspoken as to warrant a visit by reps from the white house.  I'm having trouble finding anything to back up the claims, and it is starting to smell a little.

"We should have never gone into Iraq," (2015) "I've said it loud and clear. I was visited by people from the White House asking me to sort of could I be silenced because I seem to get a disproportionate amount of publicity. I mean I was very strong: 'You're going to destabilize the Middle East.'

"I'm the only one on this stage that said, 'Do not go into Iraq, do not attack Iraq,'" Trump said. "Nobody else on this stage said that. And I said it loud and strong. And I was in the private sector. I wasn't a politician, fortunately. But I said it, and I said it loud and clear, 'You'll destabilize the Middle East.' That’s exactly what happened."

Trump Tower turned into a Manhattan fortress for Election Day.

Huge New York City sanitation trucks, practically stuck to each other from tip to tail, completely covered the Fifth Avenue block in front of the high rise, with barricades and heavily-armed police and Secret Service standing guard around the rest of the building.

“It’s Election Day” is the reason for the intense security, according to the officer working one of two magnetometers inside the building's gold front doors.

Hardly anyone other than the building tenants were able to get beyond the questions made at each barrier, so the retail businesses inside such as the Starbucks were unusually sparse.

The Republican nominee has his real-estate business and campaign headquarters in Trump Tower.  He also resides in the penthouse with his wife Melania and 10-year-old son.

The scene on Tuesday resembled a SWAT team set. In addition to many more Secret Service agents than usual, scores of New York City police surrounded the Tower, including some wearing helmets and armed with rifles.

Then again almost 2/3rds if not more bought the lies regarding Iraq.

The worst that many politicians were guilty of was believing the intelligence reports. Those who didn't believe them, unfortunately, did not make a compelling case for why these reports were wrong. If they had, people like Kerry and Clinton would have voted no and history would be different.

Oh but it is just you, and perhaps a few other cucks and Hillshills here.

If we gave him an enema he'd fit in a matchbox.

You're thinking of your brains.

I know you like to hang around children's playgrounds, that's where your ready wit comes from.

Just making sure no "voter fraud" occurs....

[Value Of Pi]

Wow.

You can't blame him for checking up on her. After she took away his Twitter, who knows who she might vote for?

Based on the look on her face, the pussy grabber might have lost another woman's vote.

What happened to America when a proud, white American has to stand in line behind one of the darkies to vote?

Make America great again, and bring it back to the time of her founding fathers when such a thing would never occur.

Looks like Team Trump is already contesting the outcome.  Their internal polls must be awful.

It is going to become harder and harder to get viable candidates to run for office as the power of the internet and the all seeing search engines allow for scrutiny of every single word uttered and every single photo is available at the touch of a few buttons.

I am not happy with the thought of only having career politicians being the pool of candidates. Career politicians are learning to game the system and to provide themselves with plausible deniability. Try and find a single substantive piece of legislation that Obama voted for or against during his one term as senator. Find a single substantive bill that either he or Clinton sponsored or co-sponsored.

Many times these politicians will support early votes to get them out of committee but then change their votes or abstain to keep their name from being tied to a piece of legislation. I saw this with Rubio as well. He would only vote on a final bill if his vote was crucial to its passage or defeat.

It is really easy to say "I never voted for that" even though you my have fully supported something prior to getting a vote of record.

I know why Trump made a big deal about not supporting the Iraq War. It was clear that Clinton did and America has becone war weary. Once he made the claims he was ripe for attack. But pointing to the Stern interview as his definitive stance is fairly weak. He wasn't invited on to the Stern show to discuss the Iraq war.

This points to another issue that has realky gotten under my skin while reviewing all of these Wikileaks emails. It is unbelievable how much coordination goes on between the press and (in this case) the democratic campaign. Questions submitted to the press before hand, articles oassed back to the campaign for review and comment prior to their release, offers to sit on a story if the campaign feels it is necessary.

The MSM has become a propaganda machine for the liberals. I can remember watching the news on one of the major networks and feeling that they were unbiased and seeking the truth. I cannot remember the last time I watched the news and had the feeling that I was hearing independent journalism. And that goes for every major network, including the cable networks.

It is no wonder that conspiracy theorists can have a field day.  The behavior of the politicians and the journalists cause (or should cause) all of us to be jaded.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has gone to great lengths to demand truthful reporting of business transactions. Insider trading is illegal. Stealing corporate secrets is illegal.

Maybe we need something similar to hold the media accountable. I am all for freedom of the press, But is seems like there is room for disclosure as to whether something is opinion, independent news, or propaganda. The media has brought this on themselves. By operating outside an acceptable code of ethics we are left with having to view everything as propaganda.

Good for him.  He looks like a patriot.  Probably a Vet who worked and paid taxes his entire life.

You can tell all that by looking at his ass?

[GravitySucks]

Oh geez.  Now that is deplorable.

He and I would have had words if he was at my polling location. He would have been asked to to remove his shirt or to turn it inside out at a Texas polling location.

Couldn't agree more.  I remember back in the day when the word commentary was placed under the journalist giving an opinion.  Now no one bothers with it mainly because opinions are the only thing expressed on the news these days.  Whatever happened to straight reporting? Excellent post, GS.

He probably would have told you to fuck off and you would have ran back to where ever you came from and start sucking on your thumb.

You and me both.  I don't tolerate racism on the right or left or in the middle.   This man is an embarrassment to humanity.
