During the next four years these five wonderful points will mean “zip.” For example -
1. “We gained a new respect for Mother Earth” by melting the polar icecaps.
2. “We learned how to heal violence” by making sure there are enough guns in America for every man, woman and child to pack two.
3. “We acknowledged the leadership of people of color” by allowing a racist Congress to demean our President at every turn.
4. “We embraced a presidential campaign based on economic justice” but elected an unqualified member of the 1% and his ilk.
5. “We witnessed the start of the fight for real science” by denying climate science for the sake of pure greed and porcine stupidly and because it is “inconvenient.”
If your blackout revolt becomes annoying to the power companies they will simply get their state to ban shutting down your dwelling power source and with “smart meters" now common it would easy to enforce. Like Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma all have statutes prohibiting the banning of fracking by local towns and cities because it annoyed the gas extraction industry.
Donald J. Trump with nuclear capability is like a curious adolescent boy with his first string of firecrackers, Trump can’t wait to light some off. He has asked “if we have them why don’t we use them?”
Apparently, the fact that at this very moment cruising silently beneath our oceans is sufficient combined thermonuclear firepower to kill every living thing on the surface of our planet, three times over - has escaped the President-elect because he has publicly stated he wants MORE.
Perhaps someone not insane on his transition team could stay up to suggest Trump search the word “pikadon” - whilst during one of his loony 3am Twitter rampages?
“Jesus was a radical nonviolent revolutionary who hung around with lepers, hookers and crooks; wasn’t American and never spoke English; was anti-wealth, anti-death penalty, and even anti-public prayer (Matthew 6:5); but was never anti-gay, never mentioned abortion or birth control, never called the poor lazy, never justified torture, never fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes, never asked a leper for a copay; and was a long haired, brown-skinned, homeless community-organizing, anti-slut-shaming Middle Eastern Jew.” @JohnFugelsang
Woe be unto those •••clowns who elected a person in their likeness. Donald J. Trump is dangerously incompetent. He is placing our country in great danger by his lack of abilities. Now Trump wants MORE nuclear weapons, folks we are in deep •••t.
It is doubtful that President-elect Trump has ever spent much time with an “average” U.S. citizen and family.
And perhaps the most disturbing of his manifold inadequacies as our President. Unless persons are part of the top 1% of wealth Trump has no clue, whatsoever.
The recent outburst of anti-Chinese rhetoric by the President-elect merely mirrors by proxy the feelings held by a leader of a country which shares a 2,607 mi. border with China. Putin would feel it essential to have a strong military ally in the eventuality of China–Russia military belligerence. Trump would become Putin’s ‘useful’ idiot with such an alliance especially with the walking-talking conflict of interest ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, as Secretary of State.
Trump is an undisciplined amateur at this level of power and leadership, he will be drawn to stronger more experienced leaders for example and tacit guidance. Like other CEOs, assorted tyrants and retired Generals with the onset of dementia.
The inbreds and damaged of America and their kin are large in number, obviously. This election has brought out a much suppressed FACT. Brain birth defects in our country are a much greater problem than previously observed. ESPECIALLY, within the WASP population.
• First observable mass symptom - the flawed and pithed move in large herds much like cattle unable to resist ‘the herd’ peer-group pressures and bullying.
• 2nd observable mass symptom - adhering to the concept that the color of skin makes one unquestionably superior, a sense of superiority which makes one need to arm themselves tantamount to war. . . . . . .
• 3rd observable mass symptom - An active dysfunctional response to the “n••••rs” in the White House is not the work of a complete brain.
• 4th observable mass symptom - Inability to clearly differentiate between “knowing” and “believing” which renders ‘the herd’ easy to misdirect and fool.
• 5th observable mass symptom in primarily damaged white males - Latent or overt misogyny ranging from a feeling of superiority to be a male to “pussy-grabbing” and rape, spousal abuse and worse.
All of this from recessive genes fired off by excessive in-breeding and/or fetal brain damage due to one or more partners chemically altered with lots of alcohol or chemicals found in ‘white-trash’ stimulants during conception.
It’s not that the 1% doesn’t believe in climate science fact, the refusal for acceptance is based in pure sloth and greed. The fossil fuel industry absolutely does know that they are destroying our planet. The goal is make as much profit as possible before things get really bad. The fossil fuel industry and those who benefit have become dangerous planetary vermin and are now directly in control of the only thing that could stop them.
Thank you CEOs in the Electoral College, you got who you wanted.
The projected negative attitude towards veterans as “Big Men, gun nuts, Christian warriors, an influence on their poorer neighbors. They might as well be knights coming back from the Crusades with their rewards of farmland, certain to protect the heartland against wayward thinking by the peasants.” Is wrong-headed and unfairly cynical.
Professor Cole - would not Tillerson's appointment have a tendency to anger Israel?
Trump is playing a dangerous game that can have a grave effect on everyone? Crossing swords with the CIA and the state of Israel in the same week shows his STUPiDITY.
When fossil-fuel demons become part of our government, officially, we can be assured of a constant state of war. Prediction: A return of the draft under Trump, to keep the poor “in line” and to provide fodder for the new "oil wars".
More likely an agent of the current CEO Rebellion taking over our country. Research WHO is on the Electoral College - CEOs. Who is Fat Trump appointing to his Cabinet - CEOs. Who gave tacit approval for BILLION$$ in free media coverage for the Bloated One - CEOs. Given the impact of social media, who carries in violation to it’s own rules, Trump’s 3 AM pghlem outbursts - a CEO.
Bravo Bill! Local pro -Trump black-box voting appliance tomfoolery played a major role in this election. As did outright bullying and peer group pressures in rural districts.
The investigation may reveal the voting machine gaming and database management “irregularities” at the local level as the actual source of this FLAWED ELECTION.
Fellow CEOs like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, through their greed and stupidity, have ushered H8 and authoritarianism to power in the United States. How will they be rewarded?
“Again the USA will lose out.” Due to the fact China Does not recognize U.S. intellectual property rights the same as the West, our losses are far more than potential markets to exploit. As you point out.
We must encourage the Chinese EV vehicle market for the good of our planet. It is doubtful our atmosphere can sustain 200 MILLION additional fossil-fuel burning automobiles tooling around China.
“put men into power able to punish US universities and scientists for pursuing the truth.”
There’s a scary prognostication. But punishment is more likely to come in defense of white Christian “Conservatives” who claim to be under duress from those unlike themselves on college campuses.
Apparently, National Security takes a low priority with President-elect Trump compared to flying around at taxpayer expense still campaigning for President. One of his family members should tell Trump has been selected by a bunch of wealthy people in the Electoral College and to stop fan-timing and settle down.
Trump is indifferent to Security Briefings and does not regularly attend them which is a total insult to those who protect us, day in and day out. Attending them will lay bare Trump’s stunning ignorance and lack of knowledge sufficient to be our President.
Trump’s stunning ignorance and lack of knowledge and obvious inability to focus attention clearly jeopardizes everyone especially those with a lot to lose. Climate change is a human-induced cancer in our atmospheres and oceans, a sure calamity in the years to come. Donald J. Trump IS AN IGNORANCE INDUCED CALAMITY, HERE, RIGHT NOW!
The election of Donald J. Trump has empowered every white trash pervert, inbred , bully and coward to suddenly deem themselves above ANY person of color. Hate letters to mosques are the work of those who always blame others for their own flawed existence, the BASIC TRUMP SUPPORTER.
Please bear in mind Trump supporters are self-centered little cowards who now make hollow, annoying threats and are basically full of •••t because they now think they can get away with it.
Limbaugh propaganda appeals to recovering addicts, those afflicted with FAS, the firearms/phallic-obsessed, misogynists and those who need to rise above themselves in general - Americans who blame their plight on everyone but themselves.
I am surprised there are so many voters that fall into the Limbaugh propaganda demographic. Apparently, effective propaganda is free and remains, so.
“Existentialists contend that humanity has a streak of irrational absurdity that defies logical understanding. The Donald Trump presidential victory rouses that feeling.”
The Donald Trump presidential “victory” is not due to absurdist existentialism in defying logic as a system but more due to experiencing the full effects of the "dumbing-down" of America in real time, an intentional multi-decade process.
" The billiionaires of the world tend to roll together" and billionaire Trump is currently assembling his gang of hillbilly thugs to do his bidding at our expense.
Americans continue to ignore this election’s most alarming fact: the successful effort by a hostile foreign power to manipulate public opinion before the vote.
Trump owes Putin a great deal and Putin knows it. How will Putin collect?
The “rigged” election of Trump facilitates dirt-ignorant H8 to be acted out with little or no consequence. The “New Normal” is “Make America WHITE, again.”
Regarding hillbilly hyper-racist Jefff Sessions, those afflicted with FAS should rejoice at how far a fellow sufferer can go while still exhibiting symptoms.
Blame the 97 MILLION registered voters who stayed home floating in their spoiled, self-righteous stew of indifference thereby denying others their right to vote. Every registered vote not made nullifies the votes of others in effect. If 48% of the electorate doesn’t care to vote, obviously this radical shift into extreme right-wing leadership and H8 is OK with them?
Those who wanted “change” will now learn to live in a much different America, an America that did an “about-face” in 2016 to move rapidly away from progress.
Because being our President will be a major bother to a “wired-up” Twitter-addicted President-elect, he will most likely acquiesce to other more competent world leaders on international situations since Trump has nary a clue on how to actually be a President.
Professor Cole - Thank you for the well-earned dust up at Herr Bannon. There is nothing more dangerous than a “knowing madman” in a position of power, trust and authority.
Mr. Page - “you cannot count on the American public to make a smart and logical choice.” Especially the more than 97 million of them who did not exercise their right in this U.S. presidential election. Their spoiled, faux-indignant lack of participation may have injured our country beyond repair.
HM - “But boy, oh, boy, is he going to get a lot of pushback from upset people.” Like who actually tends the golf courses and picks much of our crops? Will Trump voters take over these jobs?
The prevalent U.S. NATIONAL STUPIDITY, endemic H8 and blind self-interests have elected an unqualified, spoiled, egomaniacal, RACIST TV personality to be our President.
We are now seeing the full effect of the “Dumbing Down of America” - an America where H8 has become institutionalized, a President who ran on H8, was elected on H8 and has opened a pandoras box unleashing what is destructive, counterproductive and dangerous to the very stability of our country.
Trump and his followers are a far greater danger to the citizens of these United States, than ISIS and al Qaeda combined.
Currently, there is no policy to protect workers from the onset of automation. One assembly robot can replace multiple workers. The PRIVATE SECTOR is entirely in control.
The PRIVATE SECTOR eliminated many those jobs through automation. The onset of the use of robots the U.S. and abroad has skyrocketed. Eliminating hundreds of thousands of assembly jobs.
In China entire cities stand vacant because workers who originally were going to populate these cities were replaced by robots as in Longhua Subdistrict, Shenzhen.
Automotive assembly jobs have been greatly impacted by robots.
Policy had little to do with this dramatic change in the workplace.
Professor Cole, Trump supporters have always been h8ers and tiny minded bigots, angry gun loving, faux Christians. They were there way before Tiny Fingers came along. Trump's attempted power and wealth grab merely furnishes a rallying point for our national stupidity.
Tuesday will determine if our country is smarter than a Klan meeting.
Republican parents willing to vote for Donald J. Trump to remain party loyal must Please read the Affidavits in this filing?
A federal suit filed against Donald Trump alleging he raped a 13-year-old virgin girl was dismissed in California in May 2016 on technicalities and refiled in New York in June 2016 stemming from the infamous sex parties held by Trump’s close friend, billionaire and known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The woman named in the suit is Katie Johnson, who says Trump took her virginity in 1994 when she was 13 and being held by Epstein to be a sex slave in his mansion at 9 East 71st Street. https://www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Donald-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Rape-Lawsuit-and-Affidavits#fullscreen
Here we have the FBI and Russia working in concert attempting to have an effect on our national election through character assassination of the leading candidate.
The constitution of the United States, art. 3, s. 3, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war (q.v.) against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offense is punished with death.
Obviously, extreme right-wing elements in law enforcement is making their preferences known regarding Trump’s “draining the swamp” promise. It appears Herr Comey has stepped on his privates once too often? And will be the first to go.
Leo - It's not the words, it's his current actions and abysmal ignorance that closes Trump out. BTW pick another talking point . The one you are using is stale to moldy.
AS long as fossil fuel is involved the U.S. will be at war no matter who is President. And do you really want the markets to crash?
Professor Cole, the above cited list of non-electable positions which Trump stands for is all embarrassing U.S. history. What Trump and his followers are doing now is much more important in it’s potential destructive nature.
• Trump is using Republican money to develop a system which can “determine the personality of every single adult in the United States of America,” said Alexander Nix, CEO of Cambridge Analytica who is developing Trump’s system.
• Actively undermining long-standing American institutions such as our national election process.
• Promising a purge similar to Turkey iif elected. “Draining the swamp”.
• Followers promising open rebellion if Trump is defeated.
Professor Cole, you are very correct, “the Republic is in danger.”
Q - Why couldn’t the Corporate Old Boys’ Network Stop Trump?
A - Self -interest and greed. The promise of tax breaks, non-enforcement of regulations and “deal-making” during policy structuring are promised by Trump, hard to resist by the 1%. Trump is a 70 year-old CEO, after-all.
All Republicans will rue the day they allowed allegedly wealthy bully,ego-maniac Donald Trump to take over the GOP in what amounts to a bloodless but feces-smeared true un-American coup d'état.
Trump and his followers are becoming increasingly bold and more out-of-control on a daily basis. Look for the “certain-things-are-left-unsaid” Trump militia to surface more and more aka “red hat cops.”
Trump knows he will lose and will be disruptive and vindictive in defeat by proxy to keep the attention on himself.
The greatest threat to the good and sane people of our country are Trump supporters and emulators who would act upon his destructive un-American behavior and rhetoric.
Donald Trump has no regard for any military below the rank of General or Admiral. Trump's attitude towards those who served during Vietnam - were not as heroic as those who "took deferments. " Only "losers" get captured. And those afflicted with PTSD are "weak" Trump claims everything he needs to know about military service he can learn "in the movies."
How any veteran who served in wartime could give this privileged, without-a-clue snob their vote is an insult to their brothers and sisters-in-arms, past and present.
Is Donald Trump evil? He managed to turn devout Christian Governor Pence into a head-jerking as though possessed serial liar on national television for all to witness.
The Trump’s culprits were there long before Donald Trump came along - racism, misogyny, peer-group bullying and ignorant hate have always been a part of America. Especially in those ill-equipped to make good in the 21st Century. Trump preys on IGNORANT, low achieving, self-interested culprits which are our national weakness and Trump’s only real strength among the voters.
Government surveillance as egregious as it may be - is nothing compared to the tracking and data collection by the private sector on YOU’ALL, 24/7 all of which is for sale to the highest bidder.
Quoting Nathanael on l016.09.30 02:22 - "The US military is a completely worthless pile of garbage right now."
A bit harsh? Confusing MIC contractor and method of acquisition relationships with the entire uniformed military is an overreach and disgraceful to those serving.
Typical Red Hat response, false assumption, patronizing, depreciating the six year Vietnam War vet. Trump supporters are a genuine threat to real Americans of every stripe.
Quoting Brian 2015.08.18 01:08
Given the obvious incompetence and stupidity of Candidate Trump ,if elected,,any determined enemy would pick a new Trump presidency as the best time to attack the United States.
Candidate Trump lives in his own ego-bloated world, sees reality as it “ought-to -be” not as it actually exists. He is a potentially dangerous psychopath as he flagrantly engenders deviant behavior and attitudes across the woefully undereducated and willfully ignorant, gullible percentage of our population, the epicenter of his support. Exploiting FAUXNews driven anger and extremist right-wing conspiracy beliefs for his own gain.
The cited Tweet clearly demonstrates this candidate spends far too much time on Twitter and not enough time in serious study regarding actual issues that will directly affect this nation in reality - not as tremendous business deals for himself and candidate holdings.
To correlate Trump’s behavior with that of a male chimp is an insult to the chimpanzee species.
Trump’s behavior correlates more closely to that of a narrow, ego-maniacal, racist, selfish, unworthy person-of-wealth with “serious mommy issues.” In a nutshell. No offense to nuts.
This is extortion where the healthcare of many citizens with pre-existing conditions are being used by aetna like human shields to assure the completely monopolistic aetna/Humana merger is not impeded by the administration. Using innocents as a human shield is a cowardly terrorist act! Mr Mark Bertolini, the chairman and chief executive of aetna, is nothing but a low punk for his extortion act worthy of ISIL leadership and not a major U.S. corporation.

Here is a great example of the phlegm that rides on Fat Trump's coat tails.
And the point, Randy.
The flaws are local and puposeful.
Rush is that you?
Nope.
Crossing swords with the CIA can be bad for health. They go after the entire family.

Trump defends billionaires in his Cabinet: 'I want people that made a fortune!'
Billionaires live in world of their own, with nary a clue of how the non-super rich get by.
How do the wealthy get rich? They inherit, get lucky and keep it.
Trump mistakes being anal-retentive with success
“Again the USA will lose out.” Due to the fact China Does not recognize U.S. intellectual property rights the same as the West, our losses are far more than potential markets to exploit. As you point out.

There’s a scary prognostication. But punishment is more likely to come in defense of white Christian “Conservatives” who claim to be under duress from those unlike themselves on college campuses.

Climate change is a human-induced cancer in our atmospheres and oceans, a sure calamity in the years to come. Donald J. Trump IS AN IGNORANCE INDUCED CALAMITY, HERE, RIGHT NOW!
Andrew Breitbart had nothing to do with Pizzagate - correct. Andrew Breitbart has been late as of March 1, 2012.
• WikiLeaks began releasing emails hacked from the account of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, a month before the election.
• Users on a Reddit forum dedicated to Donald J. Trump and 4chan’s far-right fringe message board searched the releases for evidence of wrongdoing.
• Fake news articles began to emerge and spread on Twitter and Facebook.
Which motivates those weak of mind to ‘self-investigate’ with an AR-15.
The Trump administration will seize tribal land for the fossil fuel demon which is killing our planet.
One of the hallmarks of the extreme far right is porcine ignorance and stupidity.
No offense to sweaty pigs.
A $7M tax incentive and many jobs still moved to Mexico and consumers will pay more for Carrier products.
Such a deal!
Trump can easily be conned. United Technologies pulled off a good one with the much ballyhooed "Carrier deal."
Checks and Balances will be extremely annoying to Trump.
You are far too polite, the Electoral College has elected a dangerous BATS••• crazy egomaniac with no concept of the rule of law.

The primary reason FAUXNews became popular is it was FREE on all cable networks from the start.

Autocrats and totalitarians throughout history love to use calamities as pretext to seize expanded powers.
“His predictions could be self-fulfilling prophecies.” - indeed.

http://www.ibtimes.com/clinton-trump-latest-2016-election-results-popular-vote-tally-has-president-elect-way-2451745
One of many sources.
FACT: It is glaringly apparent the Electoral College did in no way reflect the actual will of the majority of voters asserted in this election.
JamesSpeaks nonsense - “Trump’s first priority will be to preserve property values.” Based on what?
You merely took advantage of this topic to make a baseless prophesy and an equally baseless accusation.
How Trump-like.
To summarize, the President-elect is pro-autocrat.
Your prognosis for the future of the Trump maladministration is far too optimistic.
“Existentialists contend that humanity has a streak of irrational absurdity that defies logical understanding. The Donald Trump presidential victory rouses that feeling.”
The Donald Trump presidential “victory” is not due to absurdist existentialism in defying logic as a system but more due to experiencing the full effects of the "dumbing-down" of America in real time, an intentional multi-decade process.
" The billiionaires of the world tend to roll together" and billionaire Trump is currently assembling his gang of hillbilly thugs to do his bidding at our expense.
Americans continue to ignore this election’s most alarming fact: the successful effort by a hostile foreign power to manipulate public opinion before the vote.

Count on it.
One visit to the NYT by Trump and the NYT transitions into full “normalization of Trump” mode. WTF??
Trump and his pending maladministration are far from “normal.”
If you are a government employee or a person of color , Hispanic, Muslim or a Jew, things are about to change for you , bigtime.
Regarding hillbilly hyper-racist Jefff Sessions, those afflicted with FAS should rejoice at how far a fellow sufferer can go while still exhibiting symptoms.
The point exactly. Non-voters whistled by the graveyard and elected Trump, the pending destroyer of our once great country by proxy.
And Gandhi is not here.
Blame the 97 MILLION registered voters who stayed home floating in their spoiled, self-righteous stew of indifference thereby denying others their right to vote. Every registered vote not made nullifies the votes of others in effect. If 48% of the electorate doesn’t care to vote, obviously this radical shift into extreme right-wing leadership and H8 is OK with them?
Those who wanted “change” will now learn to live in a much different America, an America that did an “about-face” in 2016 to move rapidly away from progress.
Because being our President will be a major bother to a “wired-up” Twitter-addicted President-elect, he will most likely acquiesce to other more competent world leaders on international situations since Trump has nary a clue on how to actually be a President.
Hate Crimes - What inbreds and those spawned with FAS do for fun while on meth.
Professor Cole - Thank you for the well-earned dust up at Herr Bannon. There is nothing more dangerous than a “knowing madman” in a position of power, trust and authority.
Mr. Page - “you cannot count on the American public to make a smart and logical choice.” Especially the more than 97 million of them who did not exercise their right in this U.S. presidential election. Their spoiled, faux-indignant lack of participation may have injured our country beyond repair.
How did Americans GET SO STUPID??
Good tip on Mercer, tnx.
HM - “But boy, oh, boy, is he going to get a lot of pushback from upset people.” Like who actually tends the golf courses and picks much of our crops? Will Trump voters take over these jobs?
Nope, they are way too stupid to do them.
She lost. Get over it.
Not "capitulation by Trump" but a campaign lie to get the vote of ignorant citizens.
The prevalent U.S. NATIONAL STUPIDITY, endemic H8 and blind self-interests have elected an unqualified, spoiled, egomaniacal, RACIST TV personality to be our President.
We are now seeing the full effect of the “Dumbing Down of America” - an America where H8 has become institutionalized, a President who ran on H8, was elected on H8 and has opened a pandoras box unleashing what is destructive, counterproductive and dangerous to the very stability of our country.
Trump and his followers are a far greater danger to the citizens of these United States, than ISIS and al Qaeda combined.
Great point about the “future” of Medicare and Social Security and this wildly pro-corporate new extreme right-wing government we all now face.
Currently, there is no policy to protect workers from the onset of automation. One assembly robot can replace multiple workers. The PRIVATE SECTOR is entirely in control.
The PRIVATE SECTOR eliminated many those jobs through automation. The onset of the use of robots the U.S. and abroad has skyrocketed. Eliminating hundreds of thousands of assembly jobs.
In China entire cities stand vacant because workers who originally were going to populate these cities were replaced by robots as in Longhua Subdistrict, Shenzhen.
Automotive assembly jobs have been greatly impacted by robots.
Policy had little to do with this dramatic change in the workplace.
Larry - Mrs. Clinton will be our President for most likely, eight years. Plenty of time to exercise that Hillary Derangemnt Syndrome (HDS).
"Slow-motion extreme right-wing conspiracy" would speed up under Trump.
It's official - the U.S HAS become a Klan meeting! Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.
We are so phukked!!
Professor Cole, Trump supporters have always been h8ers and tiny minded bigots, angry gun loving, faux Christians. They were there way before Tiny Fingers came along. Trump's attempted power and wealth grab merely furnishes a rallying point for our national stupidity.
Tuesday will determine if our country is smarter than a Klan meeting.
No. John is not here.
Changing the topic won't protect your Presidential choice. Eventually those he promised favors to will reveal when he stiffs them on his promises.
Inability to stay on-topic is a symptom.
Unprecedented in U.S. history, the FBI and Russia openly working to sway a Presidential election against the leading candidate.
In gaining this odious and risky support, it is fair to ask what has Trump promised behind the scenes?
Isn't "draining the swamp" what Erdogan did with his purge?
The Trump “golem” was intentionally created by corporate-owned and controlled media to feed the 24/7 news-cycle.
Trump was ceded BILLION$$ of free exposure and campaign advertising via “news and information.”
It's not only the workers who "are screwed."
Republican parents willing to vote for Donald J. Trump to remain party loyal must Please read the Affidavits in this filing?
A federal suit filed against Donald Trump alleging he raped a 13-year-old virgin girl was dismissed in California in May 2016 on technicalities and refiled in New York in June 2016 stemming from the infamous sex parties held by Trump’s close friend, billionaire and known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The woman named in the suit is Katie Johnson, who says Trump took her virginity in 1994 when she was 13 and being held by Epstein to be a sex slave in his mansion at 9 East 71st Street. https://www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Donald-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Rape-Lawsuit-and-Affidavits#fullscreen
Here we have the FBI and Russia working in concert attempting to have an effect on our national election through character assassination of the leading candidate.
The constitution of the United States, art. 3, s. 3, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war (q.v.) against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offense is punished with death.
Where are the criminal complaints and indictments?
Obviously, extreme right-wing elements in law enforcement is making their preferences known regarding Trump’s “draining the swamp” promise. It appears Herr Comey has stepped on his privates once too often? And will be the first to go.
Leo - It's not the words, it's his current actions and abysmal ignorance that closes Trump out. BTW pick another talking point . The one you are using is stale to moldy.
AS long as fossil fuel is involved the U.S. will be at war no matter who is President. And do you really want the markets to crash?
" Amazing the disconnect." indeed.
Professor Cole, the above cited list of non-electable positions which Trump stands for is all embarrassing U.S. history. What Trump and his followers are doing now is much more important in it’s potential destructive nature.
• Trump is using Republican money to develop a system which can “determine the personality of every single adult in the United States of America,” said Alexander Nix, CEO of Cambridge Analytica who is developing Trump’s system.
• Actively undermining long-standing American institutions such as our national election process.
• Promising a purge similar to Turkey iif elected. “Draining the swamp”.
• Followers promising open rebellion if Trump is defeated.
Professor Cole, you are very correct, “the Republic is in danger.”
Q - Why couldn’t the Corporate Old Boys’ Network Stop Trump?
A - Self -interest and greed. The promise of tax breaks, non-enforcement of regulations and “deal-making” during policy structuring are promised by Trump, hard to resist by the 1%. Trump is a 70 year-old CEO, after-all.
We have yet to see”The Unbearable Horror of Donald Trump, wait until he loses and calls upon his followers for justice?
All Republicans will rue the day they allowed allegedly wealthy bully,ego-maniac Donald Trump to take over the GOP in what amounts to a bloodless but feces-smeared true un-American coup d'état.
Trump and his followers are becoming increasingly bold and more out-of-control on a daily basis. Look for the “certain-things-are-left-unsaid” Trump militia to surface more and more aka “red hat cops.”
Trump knows he will lose and will be disruptive and vindictive in defeat by proxy to keep the attention on himself.
The greatest threat to the good and sane people of our country are Trump supporters and emulators who would act upon his destructive un-American behavior and rhetoric.
You would prefer Trump be an equal opportunity serial groper?
Apparently, Trump Nation is OK with pussy grabbing and referring to a young woman as "IT."
Republicans obviously enjoy having their pussy grabbed by Trump a great deal. They haven't dumped their rich white trash, yet.
Donald Trump has no regard for any military below the rank of General or Admiral. Trump's attitude towards those who served during Vietnam - were not as heroic as those who "took deferments. " Only "losers" get captured. And those afflicted with PTSD are "weak" Trump claims everything he needs to know about military service he can learn "in the movies."
How any veteran who served in wartime could give this privileged, without-a-clue snob their vote is an insult to their brothers and sisters-in-arms, past and present.
Is Donald Trump evil? He managed to turn devout Christian Governor Pence into a head-jerking as though possessed serial liar on national television for all to witness.
The Trump’s culprits were there long before Donald Trump came along - racism, misogyny, peer-group bullying and ignorant hate have always been a part of America. Especially in those ill-equipped to make good in the 21st Century. Trump preys on IGNORANT, low achieving, self-interested culprits which are our national weakness and Trump’s only real strength among the voters.
Government surveillance as egregious as it may be - is nothing compared to the tracking and data collection by the private sector on YOU’ALL, 24/7 all of which is for sale to the highest bidder.
Quoting Nathanael on l016.09.30 02:22 - "The US military is a completely worthless pile of garbage right now."
A bit harsh? Confusing MIC contractor and method of acquisition relationships with the entire uniformed military is an overreach and disgraceful to those serving.
Typical Red Hat response, false assumption, patronizing, depreciating the six year Vietnam War vet. Trump supporters are a genuine threat to real Americans of every stripe.
Quoting Brian 2015.08.18 01:08
"I love Trump;
I love that he’s running."
Your demented leader is UNFIT to lead.
Given the obvious incompetence and stupidity of Candidate Trump ,if elected,,any determined enemy would pick a new Trump presidency as the best time to attack the United States.
Candidate Trump lives in his own ego-bloated world, sees reality as it “ought-to -be” not as it actually exists. He is a potentially dangerous psychopath as he flagrantly engenders deviant behavior and attitudes across the woefully undereducated and willfully ignorant, gullible percentage of our population, the epicenter of his support. Exploiting FAUXNews driven anger and extremist right-wing conspiracy beliefs for his own gain.
The cited Tweet clearly demonstrates this candidate spends far too much time on Twitter and not enough time in serious study regarding actual issues that will directly affect this nation in reality - not as tremendous business deals for himself and candidate holdings.
To correlate Trump’s behavior with that of a male chimp is an insult to the chimpanzee species.
Trump’s behavior correlates more closely to that of a narrow, ego-maniacal, racist, selfish, unworthy person-of-wealth with “serious mommy issues.” In a nutshell. No offense to nuts.
This is extortion where the healthcare of many citizens with pre-existing conditions are being used by aetna like human shields to assure the completely monopolistic aetna/Humana merger is not impeded by the administration. Using innocents as a human shield is a cowardly terrorist act! Mr Mark Bertolini, the chairman and chief executive of aetna, is nothing but a low punk for his extortion act worthy of ISIL leadership and not a major U.S. corporation.
"Mrs. Clinton's believability problems stems from Fox News' constant yapping about e-mails and Benghazi. " Thank you . Cannot be repeated enough!
Second! Trumpheads are factually adverse and a threat to our country.
