OT. The Donald Trump (and Politics) Momentum Thread

[HarthorneWingo]

The less bad option. Don't let the media hysterics fool you. He's an arrogant show-off but at least he's not a mentally unstable psychopath. This is what her presidency would look like.

I don't let the media hysterics fool me. I'm a pretty good judge of character and, on top of me thinking he's **** crazy, he has no idea what to do with foreign nations and his stances are bull.

You, and other pro Trump people, are free to believe what you want - I've said multiple times I don't like Hillary, but she's the better option IMO. Bloomberg would have been the best case scenario for republicans and democrats, though. Such a shame.

What a joke saying trump is the one who is NOT a mentally unstable psycopath. He is the very definition of mentally ill. He ticks off so many boxes on the DMSO personality disorder index it is amazing

but this comment is coming from the former soviet bloc member who will not tell us what country they reside in and claims to have a handle on american culture when they actually do not. their rationale is now distilled down like the other trump pumpers as a vote against social justice warriors, truly one of the lamest reasons to support any candidate. so being anti-PC is now a world view. thats deep man

it is purely a reactionary stance built on petty resentments and does not constitute an identifiable pov. voting for an emotionally unstable man unfit to hold political office just so you can wreck the system is the kind of childish logic that passes for a political viewpoint these days

DSMO? (It's actually DSM-IV)

How do you know about that?

This country has about 50 years left.

Sounds about right, and hopefully I'll be dead by then.

Did you even bother looking at the image? I don't know why I bother with you. There's a link to the National Council of La Raza on their damn website.

As for Trump University, it's not even a university. It's instead a seminar, and people get what they put into their endeavors (as they do in the real world). I don't care about what their color is, but apparently you do. Thanks for identifying who the racist is.

Fun fact: throwing around the word "fascist" doesn't make anything fascist. Fascism is a form of government in which corporations control the means of production, rather than the government, but the government wins from the profits. As it so happens, liberals have been throwing around the word fascism to mean "nationalism" and "authoritarianism," but neither of these are "fascism."

Fun fact 2: the KKK has long ties with the Democratic party.

I looked at the image and I saw the link. I don't think a link on a website proves that these two groups are connected. Lots of websites have link throughs to other organizations. The main thing you don't seem to understand is the National Council of La Raza isn't a radical hate group. They are the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S. Whatever absurd connection you think exists between these two groups. neither of them is some evil entity or proves anything about the judge and his competency. If you wanted to prove that point I'm sure you can find something in the judge's actual record that indicates a bias.

As for Trump University, calling it a University is unethical (because it wasn't). Claiming you hand-picked experts in real estate when you didn't meet the instructors and most of them had no real estate expertise is unethical. Using high-pressure sales techniques to extract money from participants is unethical.

Fun fact: you don't know what fascism is.

FASCISM - a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

SOCIALISM - any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

Fun fact 2: you are wrong if you think that the KKK is a leftist terrorist organization.

It's not even worth getting into this. I'm not a democrat and don't care to defend history against your revisionist ideas.

Wow, great. My dad was born in Shkoder then grew up in Tirana. My mom's side of the family is from Berat.

Damn, didn't know that there were other Albanians here. Pretty cool, haha. Things are real different in our culture, most Americans don't understand how important family and values are for us.

Very true. I just moved home to help take care of my mom (85) and dad (94).

There are a few more Albanians here. Stannis and Shemy - AND THEY'RE BROTHERS!

you are right (of course)

know about it? why shouldnt I? I would expect anyone to have heard of it. but then again many people dont know much about history or philosophy so maybe I should start lowering my expectations

Don't like Trump. Don't like Hillary. Clinton is worse though.

Holy Lord if that doesnt blow back your hair then nothing will

So Trump keeps Mein Kampf on his night table and uses this guy for key research

Nah, Trump is not a racist. Who would ever get such a silly idea anyway?

Media is out to get Trump!

[Capn'O]

Citizens around the world feel that Clinton would have a more positive impact on specific issues including:
The world economy (Clinton 46% to Trump 14%);
Global peace and security (Clinton 54% to Trump 9%); and
Issues important to their country (Clinton 47% to Trump 12%).

Obviously Trump is off the charts unpopular worldwide, but these numbers should make it obvious that Hillary isn't that popular either. Her hawkish tendencies are among my chief concerns about her and globally it makes sense that there's a fair amount of global trepidation over her presidency.

Her consolation prize from Obama was the SoS job and it is one thing to identify her as having the mindset that could lead to intervention in the affairs of other countries but she and Obama inherited a mess left behind by George Bush. Those were the super hawks and basically you had a subsidiary of the worlds most mercenary military-industrial complex company in Halliburton residing in the white house in the person of dick cheney. They are the ones who opened the genies bottle in the middle east and left Obama holding the bag with Iraq and Afghanistan. Now Obama was way more hawkish than I figured he would be and she was his emissary. Under her husband's administration they actually failed to intervene in a country when they clearly could have and should have in Rwanda. And their indecision over Bosnia was a real exercise in feet dragging. Will there be more wars and interventions in the future? I am sure there will be

so as to how this relates to the global view of clinton is going to vary based on what country you are talking about. what may be bill's biggest accomplishment is getting lots of cheap meds into africa that saved maybe millions of lives from AIDs in particular. so asked someone in many African countries what they think of the Clintons and you will get a different answer than you get in palestine or sarajevo

but the rest of the world can see trump is out of his gourd and is so intellectually challenged and emotionally stunted that he purrs like a kitten when a genius psycopath like Putin praises trump. thats just smart to stroke the dumb bunny. trump is so completely driven by the attraction to personal praise and the aversion to criticism (or crushing if he has the power to do so as he clearly stated he would do). in foreign affairs he would be a train wreck socially and this has to scare people everywhere that trump will make decisions based on mood and his inept understanding of any motives more complex than a thumbs up or a scowl

You're preaching to the choir vis a vis the uber Hawks. I do think Hillary is one of her own accord and the internal disagreements regarding Lybia bear that out. Progressives need to be talking way more about their congressional races and voting in members that will fight in the areas where they diverge from her.

[knicksrbake]

Going to be my last post here. At this point, I really hope Hillary is elected and you guys suffer the dire consequences of that. Unfortunately, the black community will suffer the most from her election, as they've suffered at the hands of democrats for the past 30 some-odd years. It's a true shame, Trump wants to bring jobs back to the black community and help lift them out of poverty, but I guess you guys are too foolish to see that.

Oh, and some fun stuff about the Clintons for you before I go.

The segregated climate in the South festered an attitude towards blacks and allowed Clinton to use the phrase 'G**damn n****r,' which Dolly heard him frequently say.

Best of luck to you all. I have no resentment towards any of you. Hopefully you can find a way to enjoy your lives under the evil hag.

I called it. Took less than 2 weeks after that corrupt mod abused his power for this thread to become an echo chamber for his personal beliefs.

You are in the minority on this forum. As a minority it is only right that you are oppressed by the man.

Actually it was two more weeks of Trump sticking his big dumb foot in his mouth and his own parties leadership coming right out and publicly calling him a racist while your fellow turd polisher continued to stick his fingers in his delusional ears and go la, la, la, la, no he is not a racist, it is all a media plot

so yeah basically you are full of crap as usual

so did you get your economics degree while you were away or are you still going to lie and tell us you are a trained economist?
