Trump

[albrecht]

You're quite right...I used to get 5 rounds grouping at 100 yards with a Le Enfield .303, Manual loading, but I was 14 years old. What about you pussy?

I did ask him to extend the range but he said 25 was it..hey ho. Damned buliders eh?

I don't know if it was the new UK "gun ban" or new found caches or what- but a couple decades ago you could get Enfields here (in the States) cheap. Even the "big box" sports-stores were advertising them (and Swedish Mausers.) Like sub $100 (without bayonet.) Not sure why but I don't see them, or thinking about it much, any older military surplus rifles sold now? Demand? All sold out? Import/export bans? Fun and were cheap (.303 ammo however wasn't, wish that would appear on the surplus market) but heavy....wouldn't like to be the Tommy lugging that around through the trenches.

From memory they weigh about eleven pounds minus magazine. I think I'm right in saying they form the basis for the British army sniper rifle because of it's reliability and round size. Quite a kick if it's not snuggled in.

I seem to recall that the majority of the UK's immigrants are fm their former colonies.  Is this incorrect?  Are they overrun with illegals or overrun with citizens of former colonies?  There is a difference.

The "citizens of former colonies" have communities that are already uniformly well entrenched. They tend to come here, mostly on airplanes, using visitor's, family or educational visas and they simply don't go back. The majority of the thousands of poor, sorry bastards camped out in Calais, France, trying to hop the English Channel into the UK, are refugees from the cluster-fuck that is North Africa and the Middle East... seeking "asylum"... and yes, they are "illegals". France just chooses to not deal with THEIR immigration problem... likewise Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece.

Oh, I thought it was just us that didn't mind a little butt rape.  Cest la'vie.  Or whatever.

   I object to his opening statement. Taibbi's "hometwown" is  Concord, MA. A Super Zip where sons of media members grow up.

   The two goons from Southie are lifelong housing project rats, a demographic Taibbi normally champions...except they're poor white trash underclass, a group the left ignores and villifies and then wonders why they'd vote for Trump. Or for Reagan in '80. Or Nixon in '68.

Oh that's okay then! Phew, at least they have a valid reason to be psychotic fucks who beat up innocent people.

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

That was a tweet by the Donald in 2012.  I hope he has changed that view.

   Where did I defend their actions, you daft cunt.

   I'm one mile from where the incident in question occurred, but as usual I'm sure you have a "mate" that was at the scene or part of the arrest or perhaps was the victim. Go ahead, topper.

I have not heard that theory before. Interesting if one considers the funding scandal of Al Gore, Jr a while back and him being the biggest proponent of the "warming" (other than financial interests seeking another financial bubble to exploit in terms of future markets, carbon trading schemes or than government seeking more control over their citizens and businesses.)

Silly boy, I didn't say you did. But the response from Trumpy fart pants suggests that the cowards who did what they did, might get see gis comments as tacet approval and use white trash as a get out. They're obviously too fucking stupid to realise that Trump would sooner stuff wasps up his arse than even pretend to have anything in common with the proletaria

You were a mile away? No coincidence eh?

     Oh really, let's revisit the post. The inference is that I provided a reason for their attack on the homeless guy.

The entire globe is feeling the results of warming.  In the midEast temps were clocked at all time highs.  160 in some places.  A normal healthy person cannot live in temps of 130.  People are dying from the heat.  Fish are migrating northward.

Even most of those who stubbornly think that this is part of a 'normal' cycle admit that it is exacerbated by man's activities, so in either way, we can only win by taking measures to mitigate as much as we can.

[BellBoy]

Good luck with that "winning"... What we need is a modern day "Hero of Haarlem" 

[albrecht]

Somehow I missed that C2C guest Roger Stone was working on Trump's campaign but I guess they had a falling out. Yes, the guy with the Nixon tattoo.

[FightTheFuture]

All Trump has to do, is just keep on being Trump. People are thirsty for his brand of audacity. This country needs an Alpha male. Not another effeminate, pandering elitist politician.

[3OctaveFart]

This country needs to make up its mind on what it wants in a leader.

Seven years ago the current Golfer-in-Chief was being painted as an assertive, hard-charging executive.

Not the pussy he has been ever since.

Donald Trump:

"I have two books at my bedside, The Art of the Deal, and the King James Bible. The only proper authorities I am aware of are my myself and the Lord our God."

[West of the Rockies]

I hear a lot of pundits say Trump has topped out.  But I think he can gain more percentage points still.   Some of the kiddie table debaters will drop out:  Perry, Jindal, Gilmore... Their supporters might migrate towards Trumpy and join the ranks of his pod people.  Interesting times....

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Donald Trump:

"I have two books at my bedside, The Art of the Deal, and the King James Bible. The only proper authorities I am aware of are my myself and the Lord our God."

All he needs to do now is create his own podcast where he uses the catch-phrase "winning" repeatedly.

Trump has been critical of China's dangerous monetary/trade policies.

Hal Lindesy broke down China's latest moves on his weekly program:

[GuerrillaUnReal]

I think this is such a gimmick and publicity stunt. I genuinely fear Trump as President and think it would be an even more epic meltdown than Bush.

But I'm loving this for the simple fact that he's enraging all the people I hate in society. 

What's interesting is my 70 something year old father who's the very definition of conservative white man, regurgitates everything Fox tells him and has virtually no opinions that conservative media hasn't told him is buying so heavy on Trump it's frightening. He's actually criticizing Fox now over how they're treating the Donald. Trump definitely has tapped into something.

I didn't believe that, and upon a little internet perusing that number was given (actually 165 in the article I read) as the heat index.  The temperature was 115.  134 F (Death Valley in 1913) remains the accepted record for highest recorded actual temperature.

For what is it work there has been a lot of articles about how the data is "readjusted" or manipulated besides the usual "shock-jock" stuff the local Weatherman uses (heat indices, wind-chills, etc which make it appear the temperature is higher/lower than it really is. It "feels" that way though.)

I'm not sure an Alpha male would go to such absurd lengths to conceal his baldness with that epic combover. That sort of thing reveals a pathetic lack of confidence, further enhanced by his bitchy retorts that idiots mistake for wit. I don't know who it was that said 'we campaign in poetry, but govern in prose' but I think you could modify it slightly for Trump and make it a day-glo comic book rather than poetry. I don't think you can see Trump's electioneering as any more than a bit of performance art. The people who support this kind of thing are usually those who don't have the brains to see that politics has to be pretty dull if it is to make any impact on people's lives, rather than just be about headline-grabbing speeches, which is all people like Trump live for.

Reading your rant is like reading something a whiny 12-yr wrote after his mommy sent him to bed without desert for being an asshole at the dinner table...

Are you on welfare or disability?

I think all we have to do is listen to the folks in Ca and in the rest of our West.  It's gone before the point of being numbers in a study.  Again, I believe it's man made, but even if it is a natural occurrence, we are definitely a contributing factor to the severity of this mess. 

When people are dying, and they are, maybe the proper thing would be to react to stop it - as much as we are capable of doing so.  If some zealots changed some numbers or not might not be the most important issue right now.  It seems as though it's no excuse for not acting.

I think the 'dullness' that people perceive is all of them reading similar polling results and conforming to what they think the public wants.  Politicians are fearful of proposing creative plans any more, and when a windbag like Trump starts mouthing off, it's mistaken as refreshing sincerity.  Somehow, I find it hard to believe that Trump is motivated by any sort of altruism.  Do his books paint him otherwise?  I doubt it.
