An apparent sociopath who expresses his desire to be " unpredictable" about nukes sounds utterly terrifying. At least if said person is serious contender to POTUS. Which, btw, should not be an entry level job to politics.

Why Russia Is Rejoicing Over Trump

The Russian president for life time would be overjoyed by Trump's presidency. Can you imagine how completely and utterly a sly, experienced statesman like Putin would play Trump?
After all,Trump is known to completely freeze up when faced something like having to do actual politics with an actual politician. - and who could blame him? He has absolutely no former job experience. This is a man who has never held a notable political office or power in his life. Result? Train wrecks such as this when he suddenly needs to face an actual politician:
Weak Trump Steamrolled By Mexican President In Bizarre Press Conference
There would be some measure of karma in it; it'd be a situation where Trump basically turns into easy-to-play-with doll for Putin to grope. Which would have him in receiving end of his own values. Trump is great at one thing; marketing himself.Concept, notion of doing politics appears utterly alien to him. And how could it not be? He has never held a position in this field before.



How tired of democracy are you? How could anyone not completely tired of it ever vote for a candidate who doesn't necessarily accept the results of Presidential elections?
As it stands, Trump has absolutely no political power of any kind. When he, hopefully, loses in few days it shouldn't really matter at all whether or not he accepts the results. Depending how he plays those under his spell, there might be some measure of unrest among tinfoil tier of his voters...but train would keep rolling. But imagine the terrible scenario where he wins in 2016. Imagine elections of 2020. Imagine sitting President of USA who figures he won't accept the results of an election. It'd be death of democracy in USA.




Something bit more light hearted:
Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.

- - -
I guess the whole debate ultimately boils down to this:
Joe needs a brain surgery. His options are
A) an experienced brain surgeon who has devoted her entire life to said career. She has been part of a number of difficult operations, several of her patients have died. Often accused of being corrupt or crooked.
B) Stand up comedian who likes to make jokes about the hospital where doctor presented in option A works at. He is fighting couple of sexual harassment charges, has life long history of caring only of himself and is very popular and successful comedian despite/because of it. "HECK, EVEN I WOULD BE A BETTER BRAIN SURGEON!!" is a popular part of his comedy routine.

Which person should perform Joe's surgery?

This is the choice USA has to make. What in this is such a tough call. Don't get me wrong, neither of the options is optimal. But only one of them spells disaster.

Yes, in political context that is exactly all he has ever gotten to do. Actual work, tough decisions or taking responsibility for his actions are all things that Trump has never had to do in regards to anything orbiting politics.

He has never done anything, decisions or mistakes included, that'd leave him responsible in any kind of political context. Ultimately he is just another angry dude sitting in his underwear, shouting at a tv screen that is showing people who actually..do things. He just has a big megaphone. And natural affinity to self-promotion.

For this reason, we are reduced to criticising his person. We are reduced to wondering what sort of a politician would somebody saying mean, selfish things be. We can't criticise Trump the politician the way we criticise Clinton the politician; Until he spends his first second in any kind of a position in relevant legislative office somewhere, there is no Trump the politician to diss. Clinton on the other hand has been doing it for..what, 40 years? You can fit plenty of mistakes in 40 years.

Have to say, most of your previous post really speaks for itself.

[old gypsy]

In light of the latest news (more dirty tricks by a "dirty cop"), folks may be able to look forward to unending wars and the loss of our own borders, not to mention loss of the ability to defend ourselves against imported terrorists and a powerful government machine gone horribly wrong.

See you after the election. Or maybe not.

 

[Garen]

Blackwater USA founder and retired Navy SEAL Erik Prince claimed a “well-placed source” in the New York Police Department told him that among the 650,000 emails discovered on Weiner’s laptop was evidence that Hillary Clinton traveled to the island several times, Breitbart News reported.

CT reporting Breitbart reporting that Prince claims someone inside the NYPD claims that the FBI claims that Hillary is having orgies on sex island.

Or

FBI sends letter to Congress saying email review completed, decision not to prosecute Clinton stands

Take your pick of reality.

 

[Captn Norrington]

CT reporting Breitbart reporting that Prince claims someone inside the NYPD claims that the FBI claims that Hillary is having orgies on sex island.

Considering he is the founder of Blackwater, he actually has quite a bit to gain by lying about someone as well. The US government paid Blackwater millions and millions of dollars during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The average Blackwater security contractor back then was making $500 per day while they were working in the Middle East. Yes, per day. If they could afford to pay their thousands of employees that much then the amount Blackwater itself was paid must be astronomically high.

If Prince thinks that Trump will start more wars and Clinton won't, he would gain a lot by helping Trump by spreading false information about Clinton, because if there does end up being a war his company will be rolling in money again.

 

[Nexus]

The Fact that Breitbart Media's CEO is directly involved with the Trump Campaign is enough to being them into doubt...

Which reminds me, turns out the guy organizing and tipping off the Media of all the "violence" that was happening at Trump Rallies... yea he's on Breitbart's payroll too.

500 a day seems to be ok. It's hard to compare stateside wages to war zone wages.

[Garen]

Not too many ideas could be worse than outsourcing combat ground operations to private firms. They are mercenaries, they fight for money, if that's not bad enough it also allows the government to skirt accountability. "Whoops, that wasn't us, it was a contractor we promise not to hire them again."

Hire Prince to train and consult all you want but paying private firms to take on roles for top dollar while actual soldiers don't even have the proper gear is nuts.

Outsourcing ground combat operations to private firms.....what offensive combat action did any private firm do?

Terrifying news and devil's work. 11/9 will live in infamy. How could you, America?

Silver lining here; Nobody in USA will treat elections of 2020 with same lack of dignity.
I'm certain USA will again remember virtues of good judgement and lesser evils once more by then. We all will have plenty of things besides leaked emails to worry about by then.

Unfortunately, I think it likely those voting for Trump will have plenty of opportunity to feel deeply ashamed about doing what they did on this dark day. If I'm wrong about this, it will be a cause of great pleasure and relief for me.

Remarkable self marketing by Trump though. He truly knows how to play the heart strings of common people. Exceptional in this regard. It is a good wake up call for real politicians and actual leaders. I'm not sure if this translates into anything good either though.

At least I, and most all else, will get to turn their eyes away from this circus for a time and brace for what is to come. I predict dark times for values most all here have come to hold dear. I believe this day, along with brexit, will form chapter I on a very dark story, one the historians of following decades will have to write.




I honestly thought we, as upholders of Western values and ways of life, were much better than this. Guess not.

Yes, I'm absolutely, totally - certain- guarding your freedom of speech is extremely important to Trump, lol.

At any rate,Clinton is the huge loser today; it is certain she is history. Now people can at least stop digesting and re-posting every single obscene accusation about her that the sewer-tiers of net manage to produce. Now, you all get to turn your eyes to the man you elected instead. And what a sight he will be.


Some fun numerology to ya'll.

Europeans express date and time differently to US
In Europe, among many other places, it is DD/MM/YYYY
So today is actually 9/11

This is also the date of the fall of the Berlin Wall by the way.

 

[Scribbles]

It is quite obvious we cannot over look the lowest common denominator anymore. It is quite obvious we cannot over look our education system anymore. Today is only one day among many we will have to strive to better ourselves as a nation. Be better, be strong, be a moral compass for others to follow. Love will overcome.

Trump is a buffoon and terrible, but what worries me the most is not him. It is his VP, Pence. Alone, Trump would be eaten by the sharks there.
I guess I may have to skip going to the 20th anniversary party next year. Being in a place where the VP thinks people like me should be rounded up in a camp and have the gay electrocuted away doesn't sound very healthy for me.

 

[Flagg]

This really shows who are the most mature people. Did the Anti-Obama voters protest and throw their little temper tantrums the last two elections, no we accepted the vote and went on with our lives but now have a new group of CHILDREN protesting and throwing temper tantrums like a bunch of 3 year olds. I am damn grateful people like the LITTLE CHILDREN and their LYING candidate are not running this country. And the date is 09/11/2016 you moron.

Haha. Yes, anti-Obama voters did protest and throw their little temper tantrums. After last election, I remember Texas secession movement and Birther stuff being all the rage. In general, it is perfectly human to express disappointment, sadness or frustration after your candidate loses. It should not be difficult to be tolerant about this. Try harder.

After Obama's election, there was much less fear going around though. Almost everybody, huge portion of Republicans included, could agree he is a very competent man. That isn't the case this time around. Less fear likely translates to less tantrums. I'm pretty sure you are 35-65 year old white male. Try to extend your imagination enough to have fraction of empathy, and think of how alienating it must feel, to be..say, a Hispanic woman or a Muslim in USA right now - ruled by President who campaigned by openly promoting attitude HOSTILE to you. Witnessing how your countrymen cast votes for values hostile to you. You can bet your middle aged white ass many of these people are afraid now. Can you blame them?

Content of your post, accusations presented and insults you deliver Vs the message you -try-to convey makes such a ridiculous sum of all parts that I only hope it won't be deleted, heh.

...Oh and the part that had you calling me a moron?As I explained, huge portion of the world writes date differently to US. In Europe, among many other places, the day Trump got voted was, in fact, 9/11. I'm not sure if there are (m)any places that use zeroes in dates in places where nothing is.
Ominously, date of Trump was literally 9.11.

You had two choices.
1. a VP that doesn't want gays to marry or in the military.
2. the prospect of being thrown off the roof. (who must not be named)

Which is why Milo Yiannopoulos supported Trump accepted Pence. Which Milo song the national anthem in front of an all Trump audience wearing a dress and he got a standing ovation.

It's from his own Twitter account when Obama won re-election in 2012. It's his exact words, the quote is solid. You can Google, search web caches, etc yourself. Here's an article from 2012: Donald Trump Freaks Out on Twitter After Obama Wins Election

Also, we are not a pure Democracy, or a pure Republic. We're best described as a Constitutional Democratic-Republic. The democratic part is considered the most important so we casually call ourselves a democracy.

One more. These seem to have gotten plenty of attention in 2012.

His political ambitions had already manifested back then; At the time of writing these tweets, he was a former presidential candidate hopeful and figurehead of the birther movement.
This is basically a former Republican contender for presidency inciting revolution here, due to (mistakenly) thinking his candidate won the popular vote.

 

[Garen]

I see my error that I typed country instead of democracy. Funny how I read those two words to mean the same thing. The emphasis is not that what he said is true or false, but the hilarity that the system he criticized is the same one that put him in charge.

So you posted some names that are being considered for those jobs. Are they the most qualified person for the job? I do not get why naming someone for a job is going to make everybody turn on the President. Why is everybody trying to advance all this fear mongering.

Really I thought Trump was trying to put the most qualified person in a position to help the US. You really think Trump is going to do what he says, now that would be a first for a politician. Or better yet you think the country is going to revolt against him and I hope you realize CONGRESS runs the nation not the president.

That's kinda my point, a lot of the people who voted for him did so because he wasn't part of the establishment. Doing the same things establishment officials do won't exactly earn him any favors.

And no, Congress alone does not run the nation, it's a combination of all 3 branches, though each has been known to over reach from time to time.

LOL CONGRESS passes the laws not the president who all you think has all the power in the world just like the fear mongers that think the VP can do what he wants like forcing people into CURES that he thinks they need. The Judicial and the Executive do very little compared to the Legislative Branch.

Yes Congress passes the laws, but the President has to execute them. Overriding a Presidential Veto isn't exactly easy to do and even with a GOP controlled Senate and House they don't have a Super Majority which could do so.

Actually the Executive Branch as a huge amount of power, the President is the only one that can nominate Justices to the Supreme Court, Foreign Diplomats, negotiate Pacts and Treaties, the President can direct the Military for 90 days with Congressional Approval etc. Then there are the extra-constitutional powers, and in a state of emergency he can go outside the limitations of Constitution if it is deemed necessary, something a number of Presidents have done during war time.
