POLITICAL THREAD

[krazykats]

Media is dead set and in a full onslaught of Trump.

I won't say it's fixed, but if Trump overcomes this shit he should ban CNN from anything politics. Their clear bias is sickening.

Within 10 years I assume America will again just be a dream of yesteryear. Democrats can laugh but you too will soon feel the burden coming our way if Hiliary wins.

 

[catfaninsc]

And that she picked Merkel. Good lord...



Newsweek was falling over itself, patting itself on the back for breaking this "huge" story.

Noone cared. Oops

They might care since he said he would not do business in Cuba as long as the Castro brothers were in power. Plus it was a violation of Federal Law to travel to Cuba unless you were sponsored.

Noone cared. It got zero traction. Because it's stupid

Also against the law to send confidential (with a (C)) email across a personal unsecured account.

Your right. Except for Miami newspapers and other news outlets down there.

Tremendous political opportunity here for Trump - the fact that she didn't pick Obama.

Ha, very good point.

Anybody happen to catch micheal barry?

I just got home from a house in birmingham... Sunday, during a family gathering...a 4 year old was shot in the head and killed..on his grandmas front porch.


Ive missed the MSM outrage. Local NAACP is calling for more police presence in this area. But the media is crucifying these very police officers.

Very sad situation..was standiny in the exact spot this poor 4 year old got killed... over a fu**en cell phone. No kid deserves that or the fear of that.

Its absolutely bullshit that the dems dont do anything to address this. Would rather politicize a fricken criminal justifiably getting put down then a 4 year old losing his life over a FU***** cell phone.

THAT is whats wrong with our inner cities.. and until leaders that these communities trust give a shit, not a damn thing will change. So sad.

I live in a big city and you are spot on. The left doesn't really care about violent crime.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Didn't trend for one second on twitter. And any negative news is usually towards the top thanks to hillary bots.

This got nothing

CNN has to be the worst news network on the planet. They've made Pepe the frog an actual campaign issue. Yes, a meme is a campaign issue on CNN.

You want ludicrous? Do you remember the flap over Obama not calling ISIS by some name or another? A whole political party was into that one.

And how he didn't apologize.. Man that was a hoot.. It was almost as if Obama wish he had the balls of a strong leader that Angela Merkel wish she had

[PhattyJ4UK]

Sorry, but i dont care if the president is an r or d or i. He cant call the fricken enemy what they are, its an issue. The goldstar mom whos son died by terrorists sure didnt think it was a hoot today when asking obama about this very thing moe laughs at .

 

[KopiKat]

Yeah, they can say all that. But when the country you live in waves a big selfish greedy capitalistic lifestyle then something is going to break, especially if the people are paying the budget, end up getting sick up footing the global welfare for the rest of the 99% of the global population

It is not so much a problem, the admonishing things, the "America pays, we decide" things that the world says back to us, as much as it is a problem when our own leaders embrace it.

 

[KopiKat]

Tremendous political opportunity here for Trump - the fact that she didn't pick Obama.

Ha, very good point.

Can't imagine that it would be too difficult - next debate - during almost any discussion for Trump to insert as a talking point something like this:

you accuse me of being corrupt for wanting to lower taxes on the only people who have the actual ability to create jobs, yet you have recently stated that your world leader of personal preference is somebody known for bringing radical Islamic terrorism to Germany, instead of the current President of the United States who is known for bringing compulsory healthcare to the very American people you seek to help you get elected.

We gotta pretty good idea Sanders was paid to go away since he was causing her issues. He made 200k and closed on his second house at a cool 600k within days of dropping out.
It is what it is brother.

I did a search on Google, and the first result for "bernie sanders paid to drop out" was from The Onion. An article further down has Assange hinting that Sanders was threatened in some unspecified way. Nothing on the first page supported your "pretty good idea," and I'm not wasting more time on it. Conspiracy theories to suppress evidence and all I guess, but your point is that 1) you have a "pretty good idea" Sanders was paid to drop out based on what looks to be weak circumstantial evidence (and unsourced for now), 2) Gary Johnson had a gaffe that most of his followers couldn't care less about, and 3) ipso facto Gary Johnson was also paid, not to drop out but to do something so marginal and unimportant that it will make zero difference. Just think about how you got there, that a Libertarian that leans Republican would accept money to do something so trivial and dumb, that would have such little effect, when there is no evidence he's morally compromised.

Look, you're doing conspiracy theories all wrong. Go big or go home. Google secretly supporting Hillary by promoting a woman who supported women's suffrage, on some random day back in the spring? Ironclad proof they're in the bag. 45 minute video on Youtube showing how The Shining was Stanley Kubrick's apology for the fake moon landing? Gold. Vaccines secretly causing autism? JFK Jr. stuff right there! Those are sledge hammers swinging at rail road spikes. Your theory is a tack hammer on finishing nails.

There's a much more plausible conspiracy theory floating around the Internet. It goes something like this- the entirety of the MSM is fanatically going to every extent possible to ensure the election of one Hillary Clinton. After deep thought and careful consideration, I have rejected this conspiracy. When of all of the putative conspirators are in agreement in the first place, and when they already know exactly which steps are to be used to achieve the objective, there is no need for a conspiracy. Just as great minds are said to think alike, so are corrupt minds. They do what they do in a predictable fashion, without really needing to conspire.

All that said, in specific instances, conspiracy theories may have some truth behind them. I'm still a bit suspicious about various aspects of that "debate", starting with the fact that the moderator was actually more of a debate participant.

79, are we at the point. Where Hillary gets her 4 & Done?


If the Mitt Romeny, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio side of the GOP thinks they will pull a 2020, then count me out. I'm with Rand. If he does not get elected in 2020 for the GOP ticket. I'm done with politics. I'll just sit the rest of my life masturbating and not giving shit till cancer ends up killing me. F*** ya'all

She is a long way from that point, and I have a feeling that it may not happen. If it does, she'll have enough "new voters" to guarantee a second term.

You weren't asking me, but the answer to your Q is a likely yes - if she wins, that is. And I can't hold it in any longer, Willy. That damn user pic is a big insult to your previous collection.

2020 and the republican party. Rubio might be hard to refuse and don't count yourself out this soon. All the Kasich angst will have passed by then too. Rand? Most of us like him just fine but he has to prove he can get over a national election hump. As for this November, I completely believe / agree the possibility is real - that neither would seek 2020 re-election.

 

[From-the-stands]

She would be the first president since HW to lose after 4.

Wish we could get HW back..

Maybe that's why ole HW is for Clinton - he wants a sure fire one-termer in office to take the spotlight off of himself.

 

[From-the-stands]

GD it FTS, The HW of the early 90s, no the one of today.

The ole HW of, uh, dammit Willy which one is it?

 

[Kooky Kats]

I think Hilary would have the girls DNA on her lips is more like it

Which set of lips?

My guess, the scissory-shtanky ones hidden behind a thicket of winterbush bramble.

 

[moe_schmoe]

The desperation on the left & by the msm is stunning. NY Times, once heralded as the greatest paper in the country, has outed themselves as nothing more than cheerleaders, hacks.

Their latest piece, now that they realize Hillary is going to lose Ohio, is about how Ohio isn't an important battleground state anymore & how it offers very little to winning the presidency.

Yes, you read that correctly. One of the most important swings states, a state with the 7th most electorial votes, a state that has decided many elections, is now considered worthless since Hillary is going to lose it.

Who else is fired up about the upcoming Vice President debate? Ughhh

I don't care where the first article was from BigBlue, all it takes is some common sense. We know the Clinton's are shady, that's not in dispute. We know that a man that ran on being a socialist, held off dropping out and raised hell about the Dem primaries which we find out later were in fact rigged, bought a 600k dollar second home within days of dropping out. We also know he made 200k dollars last year from his taxes. Hmm, what do you think happened.

You posted most Johnson's followers don't care, and you may be right. However, Hillary wants Sanders followers that are upset and can't pull the lever for Trump, and upset at the DEMS. THOSE people did go to Johnson, and Hillary knows she needs them.
Do you really believe that Johnson couldn't name ONE world leader? Then to top it off he says Im having another Aleppo moment on Chris Mattews MSNBC program! Then todays main headline on CNN, is "why is Johnson still in the race"?

Going big would be the FBI and DOJ has made it known they're going to whitewash, and give immunity to all parties involved in covering up Clinton's email scandal, oops thats actually happening. This would be a drop in that hat to the Clinton's, hell, the media isn't going to question them, we also know that.

Google secretly supporting Hillary by promoting a woman who supported women's suffrage, on some random day back in the spring?

I know you were mostly being facetious but if the largest search engine and one of the most powerful companies in the world....with more access to private information than anyone...was as cozy to the GOP and its candidate(s) as Eric Schmidt and Google has been with the BO/HRC you and everyone else on the left would be freaking out.

19 dead people found to have registered to vote in Virginia. FBI is now investigating. Democrats are back to claiming election fraud doesn't exist & it's impossible to rig the election.

Funny how their stance always changes to fit their agenda. Just last week, according to Democrats, Russia had hacked voting machines, is a threat to rig the election & we should all be very afraid.

So which is it? Russia is hacking machines, committing voter fraud & threatening to rig the election or voter fraud doesn't exist & it's impossible to rig the election?

 

[Mojocat]

Shameful, but no surprise. History will not be kind to this era of decline in journalism:

"Once again, ABC, CBS and NBC have ignored a major news story that could be embarrassing to Hillary Clinton and have national implications, while promoting a negative (and trivial) Trump story initially pushed by the Clinton campaign.

On September 23, news broke that during the now-infamous investigation into Clinton’s emails, the FBI granted Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills immunity. House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz called Mills’s immunity “beyond explanation,” adding that “the FBI was handing out immunity agreements like candy.” Yet, neither ABC, CBS nor NBC ever even mentioned this story once.

But the same networks that have failed to cover the Mills story since it broke on September 23 were quick to devote a full 19 minutes and 40 seconds to the controversy over Trump allegedly calling a former Miss Universe “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping."

 

[WettCat]

Moe Schmoe....does the source on the Virginia dead voters happen to mention their party affiliation/registration?

Presidential betting line has Hillary back into the low 70%'s, a move of about 7-8 points since last week. Other polls are all over the place.

 

[Big_Blue79]

Agreed on both fronts. HW vastly underrated, and Hillary's main thing going for her is she's not Trump, or she'd be the most disliked candidate in modern political history.

I was addressing some post from the spring where someone claimed that Google was in the bag for Hillary because of a Google doodle featuring a women's suffrage supporter. You are entirely correct that I was being facetious.

19 dead people found to have registered to vote in Virginia. FBI is now investigating. Democrats are back to claiming election fraud doesn't exist & it's impossible to rig the election.

No, the claim is, and has always been, that there is little or no evidence of in person voter fraud, which is what voter ID laws are nominally passed to combat. Voting fraud in other forms is different in how it happens, and how to stop.

It wasn't about the name. It was about complaining that Obama didn't do what you wanted him to do

 

[bigblueinsanity]

The most sickening part of the msm bias isn't just the trump attacks. It's now moved to coordinated all out effort to focus on damaging swing state stories, like the Cuba story (which ultimately noone cared about) targeting Florida voters.

Couple that with the targeted take down of Gary Johnson and follow up articles (saw a few, but remember slate specifically) pleading with liberals not to waste a protest vote on him.

Folks we're watching, before our very eyes, the msm coming out of the closet, so to speak, and not even hide their full on attempt to get a candidate elected. It's insane and despicable.

Go back and look at the polling in 92. Bush was stomping Clinton. The war had been successful. Clinton appeared ludicrous -- the didn't inhale and Gennifer Flowers scandals had bloomed. Then, something happened and the country turned against Bush. I can't remember exactly but I believe there had been a short recession. Maybe Dana Carvey's impression -- though affectionate -- made Bush an object of ridicule. Who knows? Bush and Clinton swapped places in the polls and Bush never recovered.

I can't imagine a 2nd term for HRC or even her running again. Very few national leaders at an advanced age. People point to David Ben Gurion and Eamon de Valera, but their offices late in life were largely ceremonial and their respective countries were smaller than Philadelphia.

Willy enjoy your last day on the internet my man. When UN takes over I have to assume your e-life will cease to exist. You have triggered too many people and are on too many lists. Your lust for eating butthole might save you as it shows you are progressive and love servicing your community with no bias. I hope the UN recognizes this and allows you to contine using the internet. Good luck.

You're (purposefully?) over-looking something obvious. Both Trump and Johnson are appalling. (So is Stein, but she isn't going to get anything like a chunk of votes.) Not just inept or unsuitable. Appallingly inept and unsuitable. The main steam media aren't a monolith, and many of the papers who are endorsing Clinton have an unbroken record of supporting Republicans. Most of the GOP papers are far more conservative than you guys, but they aren't ijuts. (Sorry. Someone has to tell you.) Maybe some of them know something about Trump's medical condition and suspect dementia. Something has to account for that lack of self-control, those 4th grade level sentences, sentence fragments, and nonsense phrases. He speaks more incoherently than Sarah Palin.

I read a take-down of Trump yesterday by George Will. George Will! A bigger toad you'd never want to meet. And Will pointed out the obvious: Trump's positions don't make sense. They are even contradictory. (Even if it were possible to coax 25,000,000 jobs out the economy, it would take around 10,000,000 immigrants to fill them!) But the 4% growth and 25,000,000 jobs are what I call 6 minute ab promises. (After the deranged killer in Something About Mary). They're just bigger, better, brighter promises than the next guy. They aren't grounded in anything. That the main stream media see Trump as a con and a threat really isn't a conspiracy. Use your all's formidable imagination to construct a realistic picture of a Trump presidency. There would be all manner of "stigginit" but you guys won't like the targets.

It's bigger than the main stream media. Those new anchors are just paid actors used to sell propaganda. Remember Baghdad Bob? You have to look at the companies that control those print papers and news networks. They have ulterior motives for wanting Clinton in the White House.

There is not a single person that regularly posts in this thread that likes Mitch McConnell. Not a one. Zilch.

Must be the Paddock illegals voting him back in every time since the 80's.
