Who says Canadians can't participate in US elections?
No, they can't vote in US elections, but Canadians can place bets on who is going to win.
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation has been taking bets on the 2016 U.S. election since early last year. It's become the most popular wager in an online gaming category the lottery calls "novelty betting."
The provincial lottery contracts with a global sportsbook based in Ireland to set the odds. BC Lottery spokesman Doug Cheng said the odds of a Donald Trump victory have improved since even last week, but the odds makers still favor a Hillary Clinton victory.
"Donald's Trump's odds are currently 37/20 — in other words, slightly under 2 to 1 — to become the next president," Cheng said. "To put it in perspective, he has closed the gap significantly as his initial odds in January 2015 were 100 to 1."
A $5 bet placed on the Democratic nominee Clinton on Monday would pay out $7.10 if she wins in November. The same bet placed on Republican nominee Trump would pay out $14.25 if he wins.
For at least a few more days, Cheng said Canadians can make a long-shot bet on Democrat Bernie Sanders at 59 to 1 odds.
If you're feeling lucky, know that the BC Lottery limits its U.S. election wagers to its own provincial residents over the age of 19.
"You can't bet, but you can definitely vote, which we can't do up here," Cheng said in telephone interview. "That's a trade-off I guess."
The BC Lottery is also taking bets on which political party will triumph in several key battleground states including Florida, North Carolina and Ohio.
"We have always paid a lot of attention to American elections because we are such close neighbors," Cheng said from Vancouver. "The media interest was really ramped up on this particular election. I think you see that reflected in the wagers we're taking on this novelty betting category. I think this really shows that people in B.C. are intently watching the U.S. election south of the border."
The provincial lotteries in Nova Scotia and Manitoba are also offering online wagers on the American presidential election.
Besides traditional state lottery games, the BCLC operates casinos and a sportsbook. British Columbians can bet on Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners games as well as whether the Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies or some other university team will win next season's college football championship. Bettors can also wager on who will win gold medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics among other things.
In the United States, online gambling is illegal as is betting on elections. Betting on the outcome of sports contests is legal in Nevada. Political betting has been offered in Britain for decades.
BC Lottery profits fund government services and grants to non-profits, much like state lotteries in the United States.
OH BOY!!! This thread will be very "interesting". Politics anyone?.
They know the fix is in ?!
Put your money on Trump. KingofTax will appear in 3...2...1...
Great article, great idea, have one place to dump the political crap and keep the other threads clean.
Maybe will play their lottery numbers on Powerball...
Went to my class reunion a couple weeks ago, many of the people there I have not seen since the 70's.
The hot topic was not politics, but how the world has changed , and how our kids are growing up .
My son was 2 when Islamic Terrorists flew planes into the world trade center, this is his world to adapt to .
He will never know what was like going to an airport, concert or Hockey game without being searched and scrutinized.
He is living with technology we never dreamed was possible.
Back in our day, the big argument was who's cuter, David Gilmour or Roger Taylor, now everything is an argument.
This Country has gone insane with political correctness, if you disagree, you get a label and depending on the topic, you could be Racist, bigot, hater, homophobe etc.
In our day we watched Little house on the Prairie, the Waltons or a family themed comedy/music show.
Now the TV is filled with reality shows, people in constant conflict, or people living lives that are not even close to real.
Survival shows top the lists.
I guess it doesn't matter who is elected, I was taught to survive long before these shows popped up.
I not only know how to grow food, I hunt, fish and can find food in the forest.
For my son's sake, for the world he has to grow up in, I want a leader who is willing to say and do the things we need, to keep us just a little safer.
Some things you can't control, but we need a leader who can make it harder for those who mean to harm us.
Trump has my vote.
Bingo sully! Things have changed a lot in the last 20 or so years and not all for the better. Both parties are at fault, that's why I'm voting for the "outsider". Now....Lets hit that powerball!
I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I follow my conscience and vote Independent. I vote how I "feel" based on what options I have to choose from. I voted for the Bush family twice. I supported the Bush War. I also voted for Obama twice. I decided last year in 2015 that I would never vote for Hillary Clinton. I considered Donald Trump, until he started running a Hate campaign. Thus, I have rejected Trump. I considered Gary Johnson, but I don't agree with some of his political positions, and he seems to hedge on some issues. I think he would change his mind back and forth like Trump does. I considered Bernie Sanders, but he always comes across like an Angry, Old, "***" Man. Talk about temperament. By process of elimination and default, that leaves Jill Stein of the Green Party. Thus, I will vote for Jill Stein for President in November 2016. I know she won't win, but I will continue to follow my conscience and vote Independent of the norm, when I feel that it is necessary.
If I lived in Canada and were betting on the next US President through the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, I would wager on Donald Trump to win, however, I would vote for Jill Stein for President.
I remember those days and cherish them. I wish my children could of experience how it was back than. It's so sad what is happening in our country.
Australia has very strong gun control laws: 0 mass shootings each year.
The US has no gun control laws: hundreds of mass shootings each year.
Pretty clear what the President and congress would need to do.
With your second paragraph
No doubt- after Todd cleaned house of politics than invaded a thread a little while ago, this should please those who are into politics big time.
They still have violent crimes despite the gun buy back program, murder is murder, you don't need a gun.
Move there, If you don't like it here then leave.
Since your Mister History, tell all the good folks why Japan never invaded us after they bombed Pearl Harbor.
The Emperor wanted a ground invasion until he was told everyone here has a gun.
You are so willing to give up your rights...You are willing to become a subject instead of a citizen.
You want other peoples rights to be taken away, you can't see they are also yours.
You are not a survivor.
The US has hundreds of mass shootings each year? Please go ahead and choose one year and run down the "hundreds" of mass shootings that occurred.
And to say that Australia has no mass shootings is wrong, sorry to burst your bubble.
Besides, if there're no guns available, murderers and terrorists just find another way to kill people. The 84 killed in France by the truck driver terrorist is just one example.
The only thing a gun ban does is take guns out of the common law-abiding citizens' hands. Makes people easy pickings for murderers and terrorists.
You think i play the lottery to win $4? The whole point of me playing the lottery is to get enough money to abandon the United States (although Portland is my fav place in the US) and move to one of five countries (Australia, New Zealand, Canada,Britain or Israel).
The whole point of Pearl Harbor was to delay the US buildup as they bogged down in China and couldn't spare much men to fight the US. You love to spew whatever nonsense you read on " Totally Legitimate Lizard People Network".
Sully I'm surprised that you have weighed in this on this thread. I think you should have kept that to yourself. And now that you have weighed in it shows what your political affiliation is and it also will show that you and your party and people like you don't understand the everyday Americans who gets looked down upon by the millionaires and billionaries and it will not fly with the American people.
From the start of 2016 to today there have been 207 mass shootings
http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/
No mass shootings in Australia in 20 years
http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/no-mass-shootings-australia-20-years-how-did-they-do-n597091
gun bans are stupid, we need real gun control
one gun shop per congressional district, you must use the one in your district
You must show verified proof of identity, including your birth certificate, passport, and licence
Ban all non-citizens, those with any criminal record, and those under 21 from buying a gun
100% tax on all firearms and bullets
Mandatory 60 day waiting period for each gun purchased.
Mandatory 3 visits to atleast 2 psychiatrists who will verify you are mentally capable of owning a gun at your own expense
No more than 20 rounds can be purchased by an individual
If bringing a weapon outside your district, you must notify the law enforcement in the area you are going to.
Terrorism kills almost no one in comparison to "regular" criminals and mass shooters. The more difficult you make buying it, the less likely they'll be able to get one.
I know it'll never happen but this would end gun violence as we know it.
I admire what I perceive as your stated desire to vote your conscience after discernment. Presumably, part of your decision making process includes informing yourself in an unbiased manner- after all isn't that the great banner of the "independent" voter, that they are the only group able to cut through the Republican and Democrat party claptrap to make an intelligent voting choice. What baffles me is that you label Trump as running a "Hate campaign"; talk about falling into the trap of the crap that the media and Democrat party always place upon the Republican nominee, no matter who it is and which election cycle it is. Seems to me that a critique of Trump may rightfully lead one to conclude that he is not a tried and true Republican and/or that his positions on many issues seem to have evolved/changed over time, but hateful? Everyone recognizes that America has millions of foreign born persons living here without legal status; Trump is a hater because he has stated his desire to stop this illegal action for future persons that would disregard American immigration laws and to also punish in some manner those that are already here illegally? If you are a country without enforceable borders and enforceable laws, what kind of country are you? Further, his stated position to thoroughly vet refugees to insure to the best of our ability that we are not allowing anyone into the country that would cause us harm is hateful? I wish you success in your quest to make an intelligent voting choice but it is my opinion you have more work to do to arrive at an unbiased choice.
That anti-gun website does not follow the common definition of a mass shooting, and is simply propaganda for anti-gun people. Like you.
Hopefully you don't face a murderer on your front porch while waiting 60 days for your firearm. Because the murderer didn't have to wait when they got their illegal firearm.
All of the various things in your post are stepping stones to a complete ban. Not happening in this country. Deal with it.
Put your money on Hillary. Hillary has the Hispanic, Black and White (except for some of the male white voters) voters. Even corporations are pulling away from trump. There was no one special at the RNC convention, oh wait, Scott Baio (chachi) was there.
I hate politics on LP and this story is really stirring up the hornet's nest.
I have the solution...Anyone who uses a gun in a criminal act and takes a life should receive the death penalty. And it should be carried out within two weeks. That would solve the repeat offender problem. Had a gun in my home for years and it hasn't shot anyone yet. Looks like we have a people problem not a gun problem huh?
Keep smoking that weed bigbear.
As a friend of mine jokingly says " Guns are too loud. I prefer a machete. No 60 days background check waiting period."
Sorry, my smoking days are over.
Haha...So are mine.
Somedays, LiveInGreenBay, I wish it was not over.
Yea, but we're smarter than that now.
every graduating high school student should be given "free of charge" not one but two guns. now that is real gun control.
I actually agree with Trump about the Immigration problem, both as it pertains to the Middle East and the Mexican/American border. However, Trump has sabotaged his own public image, calling his character into question. I also question whether or not some of his new policy ideas can pass through both the Congress and the Senate, or is he going to experience serious "stonewall" like previous Presidents. [We already know the answer to this.] The job of US President is a serious Reality Check for anyone.
As long as he doesn't come up with some STUPID Idea that affects the American State Lotteries, I suppose we will have to suffer through 4 years of President Trump.
One thing that does concern me though, is his idea to cut back on funding to the US Department of Education. A lot of college students depend on Federal Financial Aid to attend College. Not every state is using money from the state lottery to fund student college tuition to the extent that they should or could. In some states like SC, lottery funding only kicks in after certain types of Federal Financial Aid or other State Financial Aid, and lottery money can only be used for certain college expenses, not for any or everything related to college.
The following comes from a local College website [Community College] pertaining to the use of Lottery Money to fund College Tuition Expenses:
"The amount you can use toward tuition and fee charges is based on the amount of these charges remaining on your account after Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, SCNBG and NGCAP have been applied to your student account. If you receive a LIFE Scholarship or a tuition waiver, you will not receive LTAP. If your tuition and fees are paid by VA, you will not receive the LTAP award. [LTAP = Lottery Tuition Assistance Program]
Bullet points #1 & #2 seem to contradict each other.
In the city where I live at, for some reason [???], only the local Community Colleges are receiving State Lottery Assistance. The local 4 year Colleges are Not.
In any case, if Federal College funding is cut, where does that leave the states and students who cannot otherwise afford a College Education.
I really don't think Donald Trump has given some of his ideas any in depth contemplation. He is only looking at the "larger picture" [Balance the Budget], but we live our lives by "daily snapshots" of the larger picture, and each person's larger picture is DIFFERENT.
Donald Trump could potentially ruin the "larger picture" for students who can't afford a College Education without Federal Financial Aid, b/c state lottery assisted funding for College is suspect in some states.
The sky-is-falling junk commentary about Trump is similar to the he's-dangerous junk commentary that Reagan received during the 1980 campaign vs. Carter. (For those of us old enough to remember that.)
It's ironic that all the people going around saying how "scary" Trump is are the very people doing the fear mongering themselves.
Personally, I'm not fear-mongering, I'm observing.
No, posting that junk commentary tweet was fear mongering. If you were observing you would have read it without re-posting it here. You are participating.
Todd, you are very Doloris Umbridge today. No fun.
At least you didn't call me Voldemort.
Shhhh, we don't say his name
Trump is by far the greatest Teflon candidate for president we have ever seen.Lesser politicians would have been history for saying the following:
We Need a Wall. McCain is no hero.
Say what you will, the guy has a pair.
Don't worry Mr,Trump is going to WIN BIG
Convential wisdom says " if a person tells you not to worry, it's best to prepare yourself to do just that : worry. The Russians told the world " don't worry, we have the Chernobyl Nuclear site under control..
Don't worry - right!
If you really want out that bad
you could take a bus to Canada...don't need a lottery win for that.
Omg. For once I agree with you.
A perfect response. Reagan was unfairly demonized.
We have this woman in my office who does zero work all day and posts vile anti Trump statements on Twitter all day long while telling us how hip and liberal she is. And no, she is not young and everyone hates her since she is the biggest bigot of all. Yet I would never consider posting things about Hillary.
And I know the tide has turned when another ranting neighbor at my bus stop could not even speak when she saw the most recent Trump polls.
LOL Guess you haven't been here long enough to know me, most know I am conservative.
I understand everyday people very well, I know many millionaires , most are self made and have hearts of gold and are very generous. Yes, some people are very snobby, poor people are snotty mean and rude as well. Depends on how you were raised.
You have a biased media pounding the Class wars into your head. You are here because you want to win the lottery and become rich, will it change who you are?
Good rule of thumb, never judge a book by it's bank account and if you really want to soil yourself, go read my blogs.
They couldn't spare much men, The South Pacific was loaded with Japanese soldiers, Pearl Harbor is was got us into the war, we actually helped China and everyone else.
Please, tell me why they attacked us in the first place, can't wait the hear this.
PS, Get a job and save your money, ta da... then you can move.
And then what? Live off welfare like 90% of Southern Republicans?As a leftist i actually believe in paying my own bills and finding a job would be monstrously hard, not even counting any issues related to not being a citizen.
You are not a conservative. Conservatives are Obama, Mccain, Romney, etc. You are an Anarco-Capitalist, VERY DIFFERENT.
You look down on those millionaires as you MUST have been born into extreme wealth in order to be this ignorant and selfish.
I'm not 100% sure on this but I'm fairly confident that EVERY battle between the US and Japan saw the US outnumber the Japanese by ridiculous amounts. I might be wrong on one oe two but it was good old vast numbers that led to the US victories in most places. I already explained why they did it, they did it to cripple the US fleet before the US had a chance to declare war and attack.
The bottom line on why I voted Trump in the primary and will in November.
A vote for ANY other candidate Rep or Dem would be a vote to continue down the same road we have been traveling for years.
Trump is different. He cannot be bought.
Time for someone different. Voting for the same type of politician and expecting different results is insanity.
That being said, I have about as much faith in voting machines not being rigged as some do about lottery drawings....lol
Your post is ridiculous.
Stop reading revisionist history and deal with facts instead of spouting your opinion on things you know so little about.
WW II Major Pacific Battles
If you can't figure it out look at the casualty figures for both sides.
Causalty figures do NOT equal the number of troops in combat. I assumed any 3rd grader would be able to understand that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Angaur 10,000 US vs 1,400 Japanese
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bataan 120,000 US vs 70,000 Japanese, and this was early when Japan had some man power
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Peleliu 47,000 US vs 11,000 Japanese
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Singapore 85,000 British vs 36,000 Japanese, another early battle.
8 years of the Clinton's was enough all she wants is the Power What's Bill going to be the first Bubba Trump all the way
He can't be bought because no donor is buying. The whole point of picking Pence was and is to get the Kochs to support Trump as Trump can't afford a run on his own ( Most of his wealth is in real estate and other non-cash things that are not easy to liquidate). Jill Stein for President 2016!!!
First things first.
You need to stop getting info on line, you can watch the actual footage of many battles on the history channel.
Obama Conservative, omg No way, not one Conservative bone in his body.
Born into extreme wealth, rotflmao , Don't know many Chippewa's born with a silver spoon.
There is nothing in any of my statements that even comes close to looking down on Millionaires.
So in your mind, anyone who doesn't want to give away their hard earned money is ignorant and selfish.
So basically all you want is an oppressive bloated Government to take away other peoples hard earned money and give it to you. So sorry you cannot stand on your own 2 feet and make it in this world.
I hope you move to Canada, and get eaten by a bear or wolf because you don't believe in guns.
86 % of people on welfare are Democrats.
You believe in paying your own bills, lol You are full of excuses, full of %$#@!
I agree with many of your points, however, as I understand Stein hasn't even published her 12 point (or however many) plan, while Sanders and Clinton did so last November (?) ? That does not inspire confidence.
What are you going to tell us next, Kingofearth? That the defenders of the Alamo greatly outnumbered Santa Ana and his army?
Davy Crockett didn't really exist. We made him up to sell hats and help the fat cats get rich.
The first is correct, the rest of what you said is lizard people garbage.
Someone woke up grumpy.
Which show overwhelming numbers of Americans against vastly oitnumbered Japanese. Unless they're Hollywood movies.
Obama's signature piece of legislation is the far-right Heritage Foundations health care proposal from the 90's called" the affordable care act". Obama came into office an extreme homophobe but thankfully changed his mind. Obama has done nothing on guns but sign bills to REDUCE gun control. He is a center-right moderate conservative. You are an anarchist-capitalist, simple as that. I'd rather a bloated government that makes sure there isn't mass starvation and death over a complete lack of government.
I'm pretty sure she published a plan when she ran in 2012 and she's just using her old plan.
I deal in facts, it is a basic fact that the Mrxicsn army vastly outnumbered the defenders.
Davy Crockett existed, the hat did not at the time. Also him and a few others were captured alive and executed.
That is all non sense, mass starvation, we throw away half the food we grow cause of Government rules and regulations.
When I not wondering aimlessly through my mansion, I work in a food service store, Because of Government over reach, much of the produce is thrown away before it even starts to blemish, we can donate everything but raw meats, fish and poultry, that gets thrown away. That stuff must go into a lockable can so no one can steal it.
Now I have to go organize the household help, lol
That orange buffoon is no different than any other politicians. You seriously think he can, or will be able to deliver on the promises that he said he could. He just spewed a bunch of BS to get the nominee.
Taking a line from the movie" Shawshank Redemption" this colossal Pr*** this morning praised Russian hackers for getting to his opponent's emails. Both parties make promises that they know they cannot keep, but the continues. Prior to joining LP, l was a regular in a political forum- the nonsense practiced back then by politicians has not changed, it's worse.
Somebody was praising the Harding/Coolidge administrations and that reminded me they were followed by Hoover and the stock market crash in 1929. It also reminded me of Archie and Edith Bunker singing "We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again". To tie this all together, lots of stuff Donald Trump says are IMO something an Archie Bunker might say.
Trump says many things that I believe are meant to be outrageous that many Americans relate to whether they believe Trump can do it or not.
Hmm, no Stack.Archer B was a comedy, this scenario is hardly it. There was no Internet in Hoover or Bunkers time to hack into.The point l am trying to make is, when does one take this guy serious or is it " just having fun. "
**Remember the line in Tombstone where Ringo says " l was just fooling about, at which doc says " l wasn't. " It cost him his life.
Hey dummy...He's not a politician. He's worth 10 billion bucks and doesn't need to do this. IMO he's going to change things for the better. On the other hand, Hillary has been a politician for over 40 years and she will just be the same ol same ol.
Actually we don't know if his worth $10 mil LiGB- he says so, Mr C who is a billionaire of the mavericks thinks otherwise. Nevertheless it's besides the point. We once had a wrestler in MN & a bodybuilder in CA as governors.Need l remind you that Arnold has a business degree as well. It would be good for you to check their record on how well they did....Just saying.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/top-ten-reasons-to-doubt-trump-is-even-a-billionaire
Hillary has been a politician for the past 16 years. Being the spouse of a politician does NOT mean you are a politician.
Yes SoleWinner21, I agree with you 100% ! He does not think before he opens his mouth. And, where is his taxes! He's hiding something. He's not going to do not one thing if he gets into office, except look out for the rich. His clothes are made overseas, so he's not going to bring jobs back. He's going to be the biggest disappointment.
Amen. I love lottery post!
Regardless of your political affiliation- this line is a doozy.
" His clothes are made overseas, so he's not going to bring jobs back!"
Well, he's not going to bring jobs back to the USA. IT's just a whole lot of talk from trump. The wall that Mexico is going to pay for, not going to happen. People state that the Dems have not done any, but the Repubs were the first ones to step up to say that they were not going to work with President Obama. And now, a lot of the repubs don't like trump. Nothing is going to get done.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, They probably have them. I’d like to have them released.”
While Archie Bunker was a fictional character, many people related to what he said and those who watched All in the Family say "sounds like something Archie Bunker would say". I seriously doubt Trump was advocating hacking into the State Department network and IMO it makes more sense to call it an Archie Bunkerism.
Ringo's death was ruled a suicide though Wyatt Earp and several others made claims, but Holiday was in Court in Colorado.
Nice comment and a great movie! " say when "!
I liked that movie a lot, but the death of Johnny Ringo in it is not factual. Most movies and shows are not factual. So I don't take them seriously, except for entertainment value.
I'd put a trumpload of $ down, a stack of bens as high as the wall he want's to build!! #Trumpload of loot
Yes it is a great movie. Had tons of humor as well instead of having bullets flying in every direction..Just a sample.
" Let's have a spelling contest. - Doc to Ike.
You may be the Anti Christ- Doc to his woman.
I'm your Huckleberry -Doc to Ringo
She's a stinking rotten criminal who sold influence for cash...See the Clinton Crime Foundation.
LOL, "let's have a spelling contest".
Did I misspell something?
Clearly the FBI and Justice Department, the top guys in law enforcement, disagree. I'm not voting for her because i will not vote a conservative regardless of what letter is next to their name.
It's a phrase from the movie Tombstone.
As I sit here in the North wing of Chateau De Sully16, sipping ice cold Perrier and nibbleing delicate finger sandwiches, I appluad you Kingofert, be the oppresser we know you can be, get your all faithful left wing loons to vote for Jill.
Thank you.
Bruuuuhahahahahahahaha.
That was a political not legal decision.
Yes you did? Go through all your posts for the last 6 months and you will see them glaring at you.
BB caught it.
Oh stack. We discussing a movie- lighten up Ol Friend. By the way when was the last time you took in a movie, not from the comfort of your recliner. Was it the Exorcist or The Godfather?
She got over 500,000 votes in 2012, The Green Party is growing as more and more people are realizing there needs to be an alternative to the two right wing parties.
Anyone who takes votes away from Hil Lie Ery is fine with me.
I truly believe Trump is playing chess and almost everyone else is playing checkers. If your baseline is that Trump is a self-promoting, idiotic buffoon, who has accomplished nothing in life and screws everyone he has ever come into contact with certainly you will interpret his comments negatively. However, if you open your minds to the reality that he is a very successful businessman with negotiation and other skills that enabled his growth on a worldwide scale, you may delve a little deeper into his comments and have some curiosity as to what this guy is up to. What truly scares me about the state of this country and the voters is that that most lack any intellectual curiosity and those that view themselves as most informed are intellectually dishonest. How can one listen to any of these career politicians and not recognize that all they do is lie in an attempt to garner votes? Another impact that Trump is having in this election cycle is to expose the true partisan nature of the media. The universal outrage expressed over Trump's comments about Hillary's deleted e-mails is instructive. Remember that Hillary informed us that the 33,000 deleted e-mails were all personal in nature: how then can calling on the Russian's to release them if they have them have any national security implications? Releasing Hillary's yoga lesson e-mails have national security implications? Oh, but the idiotic media and the democratic party go even further; he should be investigated by every arm of the US government for his treasonous statements; how can he request of the Russian's to infiltrate her server in an attempt to get these 33,000 e-mails when we already know that Hillary had her team physically destroyed the servers?- they don't even exist anymore. This does not require much thought to debunk the nonsense you are being asked to believe- you just need some level of curiosity and common sense. If you are voting in this election, wake the hell up to the sewer that is our current government and the leaders of both parties.
I hear what you are saying, BUT trump IS NOT THE GUY TO MAKE CHANGES! trump is about trump and that is it. I was a Bernie person, so I pick Hillary over trump.
Trump should release his TAXES. Is trump going to get his clothes made in the USA? Everything that trump states, someone else has to explain what he meant to say.
Looks like you never saw a Trump speech. What changes do you expect Hillary to make? Can you be specific? I can.
And talking about old TV shows like All in the Family that aired about the same time as when The Godfather was released (1972?). I've heard people say some of Trump's remarks sound like something Archie Bunker might say and others say "who is Archie Bunker". I don't expect everybody under 40 to know of the Archie Bunker character, but it's not that difficult to search it. IMO Trump remarks are more figuratively and do remind me of "something Archie Bunker might say".
BTW, today one of the taking heads showed Bunker and Trumps quotes which were remarkably similar.
A while back someone on LP said "Jack's Racino don't look the same anymore since they remolded it." and I mentioned it sounded like something Yogi Berra might say. Instead of simply searching "Yogisms" that member decided I was insulting her so it seems like some of the members here are either somewhat paranoid or don't understand other types of humor.
Oh, and speaking of quotes from classics westerns, I was thinking about this quote ,"When the legend is better than the truth print the legend" when I remarked about Holiday and Ringo.
The last ten days, the heat index here was over 100 and we went to the movies and saw Ghost Busters on Sunday.
Trump can't release his taxes yet because the IRS is auditing him right now. He will later when they're done.
I watched the RNC Convention everyday and I was not Impressed. I think that Hillary will get more done than Trump.
IRS stated that trump can release his taxes before the IRS is done. That was from the IRS.
Yea? Like what? Democrats have been in power for 8 years straight.
And has been blocked by the republicans for 8 years. When Obama took office, the republicans were the first to say that they were not going to work with Obama.
Democrats held majorities in both Houses the first four years of obama's term. Don't blame that on Republicans. You want to know the truth about Democrats?.....They like to divide people for votes even when there is no division. Believe what you want, I'm tired of arguing with a rock.
It's not a argument, you vote for whom ever you want.
The only reason that it requires further explanation is because of the relentless attack and manipulation by the media. If you can't watch yesterday's press conference and then recognize how his answers were totally distorted by the compliant press on instructions from the Hillary campaign (let the spin begin), you are not trying hard enough or you have biases going in that preclude you from open and honest discernment.
The honesty of your comment that Trump is about Trump is totally contradicted by your next sentence where you pick Hillary; if you think Trump is all about Trump more than Hillary is all about Hillary, you are not paying attention.
Now I wonder what would happen if they indict Hillary Clinton on the email scandals like they should have in the first place, which then will disqualify her of holding on higher office in the US, including presidency. She is legally NOT eligible to become president. Yet the government (United States Attorney General, Lynch) doesn't care about the law when it comes to her.
If only the Republicans actually were an opposition party over the last eight years, Trump would never have had a chance in this election cycle. Of course they should have said they would not work with Obama- his stated desire was to "fundamentally transform America". If you believe in America's constitution and the bill of rights, you could not possibly support fundamental transformation. Only thing is the Republicans rolled over for fear of being called racist for opposing the half white guy, telling their supporters to always wait for the next election cycle when they could really impact Washington (can you say we only control 1/2 of 1/3 of the government when they took control of the house? Can you say we don't want to do anything in opposition to Obama for fear of hurting our chances in the presidential election?). Our leaders- Obama, Biden, Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi, Reid, Ryan- all fail to represent the American people.
If she does get indicted ( which I think she will not ) than it was meant to be. Trump should release his taxes.
You are the exact scary voter that is ruining America. You perceive yourself to be fully informed yet you have not a clue. Is this the same IRS under Obama that went after the Tea Party groups not-for-profit status prohibiting them from fully participating in the 2012 election? Of course, you probably think Lois Lerner did nothing wrong because she also walked away a free woman, as did Hillary. So the IRS says there is nothing that precludes Trump from releasing his tax returns while under audit and you mindlessly agree. There is not one tax attorney that would recommend a client release any information until an audit is complete. So, of course he could release his returns because there is nothing that legally precludes it, but that would be unwise. On a larger point, what the hell do you want to learn from Trump's tax returns? It is inconsequential except to those that would seek to use the information in an additional attempt to destroy Hillary's opponent. There is a truth that everyone should strive for- not my truth, not your truth, not Democrats truth, not Republicans truth- the truth.
Well, I hope you and TrigglyPuff can save the world.
There will be a whole lot of angry people if they tell the citizens that Clinton is above the law.
It's a federal crime to send classified and top secret information to somebody who does not have the proper clearance. It's even worse when it was sent on an unsecure server in her basement (which is against policy too)
It's also a federal crime to lie under oath in the Supreme Court.
She should go to prison for 20 years with no chance of parole.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but read this excerpt regarding Operation Northwoods from Wiki and judge for yourself.
Or u can google it. It sounds very much like the scenario from 9/11.
Operation Northwoods
Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government, that originated within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other U.S. government operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American civilians and military targets, blaming it on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. The proposals were rejected by the Kennedy administration.[2]
At the time of the proposal, communists led by Fidel Castro had recently taken power in Cuba. The operation proposed creating public support for a war against Cuba by blaming it for terrorist acts that would actually be perpetrated by the US Government.[3] To this end, Operation Northwoods proposals recommended hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. It stated:
Several other proposals were included within Operation Northwoods, including real or simulated actions against various US military and civilian targets. The operation recommended developing a "Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington".
The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense. Although part of the US government's anti-communist Cuban Project, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted; it was authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but then rejected by President John F. Kennedy. According to currently released documentation, none of the operations became active under the auspices of the Operation Northwoods proposals.
Lol lol
Thanks Deo, I will check it out.
Google Trigglypuff, hehehehehehe, King's Queen.
Labels do not apply anymore. We need a logical people's revolution to save the USA. Trump is the one to lead change. If Hillary gets in, we will not even be able to walk down the street without fear of bring shot or worse. And we all know how Obama loved Catholics...lol. I will end up trying to be a Christian in the catacomb sewers of Washington, DC.
We are at the very end of the line here and we have no more time to make wrong choices. The invasion is happening if Hillary is elected. We will not survive as a free nation under Hillary. If you are on the fence as to your choice, open your eyes to the truth.
I agree.
The Democrats controlled both the Senate and the House for Obama's first 2 years. He could have done anything he wanted and he took advantage of that by passing numerous legislation's including his beloved OBAMA care. FYI, not possible for the Republicans to block anything when the Democrats had control of everything.
The most extreme cases of political correctness are in the right, not the left. "Capitalism is entirely good" "Lower taxes create jobs because they make rich people happy" THAT is the very definition of political correctness, blind belief in nonsense that politicians spew out. The difference between left and right political correctness is that the left controls the crazies while the right has been eaten by them.
Why so much doom and gloom? If Obama didn't destroy America, how/why would/could Hillary Rodham?
2 years to be able to bring real change and instead the center-right moderate conservative uses it to implement far-right healthcare created by the Heritage Foundation. His only other major bill was to allow you to carry an arsenal onto Amtrak trains. Sound Progressive to you when you leave political jargon and look at the bare facts?
Today is the safest time in American history. What you said is the equivalent of wearing 4 winter coats in July.
Hey buddy...You live in Germany. Don't worry about our US elections OK! You're first concern should be the terrorists Merkel is allowing into your country. Just another reason we're voting for Trump here!
Safest for who? You kidding? Have you seen the news lately? Stop with the BS man.
Whattt! You are to far gone. You have been brainwashed and can't see it, Cause I don't think all Corporations are good and wholesome, take each as they come.
Your either making stuff up to suit your own insecurities , extreme lack of self worth, or whoever warped your mind needs to be put away for a very long time, cause buddy, you drank way to much Kool-aid.
Who are these terrorists you are referring too?
You derail by telling me this discussion is open to Americans only but somehow Merkel forces your hand in the election? Little contradictory.
Let's talk how your country allowed hundreds of women to be assaulted by immigrants.
Exactly.
Germany is the launching pad for the invasion. Valient France is trying to hold on. I cry for France.
As opposed to the regular assault of women by non-immigrants?
Do you believe this was a government-sanctioned grope-in ?
Right, that's why France had these problems before.
More alarmist rhetoric from you I see, I'm sure you will enjoy a Trump presidency.
Germany's immigrant/refugee problems are in pale compared to millions of illegals in here who smuggle drugs, murder, rape, rob, drive with no insurance, hundreds of thousands of Latino gangbangers who are growing in #s, and children of these illegals are awarded automatic US citizenship which costs tax payers millions per year in school, medical, and other costs. They literally bankrupted CA, which resorted to legalizing weed. Get the idea?
Spot on. I agree.

Who is the BSer here again?
The queen of right wing political correctness retreats into her safe space where facts and her opinion can never be separated.When you come out of your safe space let me know and we can chat facts.
Yes and no. Painting millions of people with such broad strokes is unfair and downplays how the US governments worked to destabilize its neighboring countries while profiting from the cheap labor undocumented immigrants provide to the US economy.
These illegals pay billions in taxes and in the clunky way that governments work produce the people the US needs in order to prosper and fend off aging of the population.
This is why the border is intentionally penetrable. If the government intended to be able to find any person in the country, which as I understand is why controls are so intense, they could implement obligation to register.
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-03-01/study-undocumented-immigrants-pay-billions-in-taxes
Contrary to public perception, "Illegal" immigrants MUST pay their taxes and are NOT allowed to go on any kind of welfare. It's messed up , but hey the republicans want it that way. Everything else you said is far detached from reality that I don't know whether i should even bother.
Fine i'll show everyone how detached you are

You chose that Avatar to make yourself bigger then who you really are, calling yourself King, yikes!
Now go back to putting labels on books, people and everything else that scares you.
Sounds like you fear Trump. Another reason to vote for him.
More playground-level skills from you.
As I'm white and male I don't have to fear Trump.
If your decision to vote for somebody is as callous as to do it to spite someone I understand your infatuation with a fraudulent con-artist narcissist.
First of all, I've never said jack didley about illegals not paying taxes or go on welfare. Yea, I'm sure they pay sales tax after a meal at McDonald's and of course they're not eligible for welfare. Second of all u said everything else I said was far detached from reality? LOL so Mr. bleeding heart pinko, we don't have any illegal-related problems I mentioned here?
U belong in a commie China or N Korea or better yet, in a looney bin. Go work on ur reading comprehension.
Illegal's commit less crime ?, they are all criminals as they broke our laws coming here.
Oh and I went through you last 50 posts, seeing 2 different speaking styles again, as one of you speaks more intelligently than the other.
Busted, I know what your doing.
Many of deported illegals end up here again. Forget fighting terrorism overseas, we need to fight illegal immigration in our back yard now.
Do tell.
Of course our government's letting them in here on purpose for the reasons you've cited, but here's the grim consequence for that. When Cuba had severe rodent problems on their sugar cane farms, they brought mongooses from India, and soon the rodent population was decimated. However, when mongooses no longer had rats to feast on, they started to attack chickens and other livestock. We're inviting future troubles to solve current troubles
Telling us you a white male who doesn't fear Trump, why do our elections even matter to you ?
Tell us White male, or because you're not actually black, so therefore your White?
illegals do not pay billions in taxes, most of them work under the table and pay no tax at all, or SS, or Medicare, or property tax, they collect welfare on top of their under the table wage.
Many of them file tax returns here and claim 15 dependants and get a big chunk of money they never even paid./
They dont matter to me any more than I like to stay current on world events.
As for your second statement, what did you want to express, as it is it's unintelligible. I never claimed to be black. Maybe you got me mixed up with somebody else?
You're far from left wing PC, but you;re still extremely PC.
I chose this avatar because it fits my username, some people have creativity when picking their internet usernames.
More PC from the queen of right wing PC.
Yes because they WANT to be here and WE NEED THEM. The last thing they want to do is have the immigration cops know they exist and thus they don't commit crimes apart from a few bad apples. Our immigration process is the hardest in the world to get through, it takes an average of 16 years to become a citizen. If the US and Mexico were reversed you would just cross illegally as well.
Ah, now i get it, believe it or not i have a life and so depending on how crappy or amazing my day is going i'll either try to talk you like an adult or i'll just explain facts at a level you can understand.
We don't need them, few bad apples, go to Detroit....few, brainwashed.
There are 2 of you, talking down to me and showing me how insecure you are doesn't change that fact.
You're Cupcake of the earth, you are not a warrior, just a crybaby who posts links to left wing rags, written by more crybabies.
Undocumented immigrants are somewhere between sunshine and ice cream on the list of problems in this country. Our screwed up immigration system though is a big concern. Pulling the communist card is so 2nd grade level childishness. Hell North Korea is run under Juche which is a RIGHT WING system mixed with old fashioned Right Wing Authoritarianism. North Korea is a right wing heaven. China is also extremely right wing. Go read up on basic economics, politics, philosophy and writing.
How nice, you really don't see a problem in identifying humans with animals? Oh yes because there was anyy bad consequences when human beings were compared to undesirable creatures like rodents, 1940's Germany was such a peaceful place and they used it a lot. I had to go there, it is literal word for word.

Alabama being Alabama went full racist on "illegals" and the results were disastrous because WE NEED THEM. You are not going to work for $7.25 an hour (Most likely less) for 16 hours a day 7 days a week and neither will i or any other "legal" resident of this country.
Nope, just me. Talking to you adult to adult has clearly failed so i need to go down to your educational level (1st grade maybe). I'm not the one who shown time and again an inability to express oneself as an adult (or even a teenager). Find one source validating anything you said, i dare you (Daily Caller and Breitbart do NOT count as sources).
Left wing, right wing.....it's still the same dirty bird...
Hillary has too much blood on her hands, and it's her or Trump.
Trump has crossed party lines depending on what was on the table....and I like that....Once the crap slinging is done, I think he'll be able to negotiate across the aisle.
Illegal immigration is just that....illegal...If they come by breaking our laws, we cannot expect them to abide the laws....
Maybe some of those resources spent causing turmoil in the middle east (oil and poppies anyone) and elsewhere could be used to secure our border, and rebuild our economy....and why doesn't anyone consider Mexico and other South American countries "regimes" when it comes to refugee crises? Heck ...THEY are our next door neighbors! We need to fix here, before trying to fix everywhere else.
you are beyond help.
Well kingocupcake, our jouney ends. You are blocked.
What gets me is this: "Daily Caller and Breitbart do NOT count as sources" and yet kingofderp trots out links to MSNBC and HuffPo. (which, according to him, are right-wing sites, right?) He's established himself as a liar multiple times in this thread alone, now by his own most recent words he's proved he's also a hypocrite.
Exactly, He's been brainwashed. I blocked him, he's a fanatic.
I believe there are 2 people posting.
Yep, his parents need to be slapped for raising him the way they did. His ignorance is massive. We had a name for college boys working the summers out on the drilling rigs: "educated worms".
It's getting to be where you can't tell the sock puppets in here without a scorecard. Not sure who his other persona is - or was - but I'm sure he is/was just as clueless in that one, too.
yep, on all counts.
I ask for sources to back up even one thing you've ever said, this is your answer. It shows your age (6 years old) quite well.
Oh you who deal in 'facts', do some research om crossing the border INTO Mexico from the south of their country.
If you're out to set a record for getting blocked by the most members in the fastest time you just might do it.
You're very quick to jump to conclusions, attack people you don't even know, and just make stuff up, like right wing pc.
You're truly delusional, get some help.
Sites that are well maintained and protected against someone just spewing nonsense are acceptable sources. My offer extends to your challenge. Show one instance of me saying anything that is contradictory or incorrect i dare you. You know such things don't exist.
I post sources backing up my arguments
Sully 6 year old does not
You really think i'm the ignorant one?
You call me ignorannt, then say that being educated is bad? You really should stop trying to demomnize education but hey you live in the state that changed its textbooks to include basic Wrong information before it caused outrage and they were ordered to change it back.
I have, your point being? it is completely different than what Trump is proposing. One is to stop human trafficking and the other would have us declaring bankruptcy from the sheer cost. you should look up the Schengen area
Any honest observer can see who the adult is and who isn't, i prefer to only talk to adults.
I jump to no conclusion, only facts or peer-reviewed hypotheses. I am not the one screaming " Rich people are better that's why they're rich" or other total nonsense.
You mean sites such as HuffPo that delete comments that don't fit their disingenuous narrative?
Show you ONE instance? I could show you dozens - nearly every time you've posted, nearly every thing you've said.
I'd say you're more "clueless" than "ignorannt" (sic), although for a college boy you're not exactly a poster child for the benefits of higher education.
I never did "demomnize" (sic) education, but didn't want to waste time and words explaining to you that I do NOT think education is a bad thing, only that it involves learning about all aspects of an historical event or the reasons why, not some biased view that only validates your own viewpoint.
I also never said being educated is bad. There you go lying again.
Speaking of states, New York shows how dishonest the majority of inhabitants of that state are by electing the dishonest Hillary Clinton. I know people in NYC are dumb because I watched "Cash Cab".
Then do it, show us something this contradictory or factually incorrect.
Um, I spend most of my time in Upstste which went heavily for Bernie. If I only wanted to hear my biased viewpoints I would get a blog or a forum devoted to such but I don't. I want to hear all different viewpoints and ideas and give my viewpoints and ideas in an adult manner that includes giving sources and accepting when you're wrong, whether politics, lottery, history or any other topic.
You've said LOTS of things that weren't true; nearly every thing about "red" states or trying to prove a point with military statistics, many other things. I didn't like reading your drivel the first time, why should I suffer through it again? If your posts were on paper, they'd have some use in the bathroom.
As has been mentioned, you can't be bothered by "facts" except those that support your narrow viewpoint and world view. Just as you've set pre-conditions for what links are acceptable or not, I automatically impeach your sources. Your type of an "open mind" is good only to serve as an ashtray or urinal.
This is a guy who believes we should import Mexicans to do the work he doesn't want to do, he has no value on them as humans. 7.25 is beneath a guy who doesn't work at all.
"I want to hear all different viewpoints...." Yada Yada Yada
SURE you do, right! -wink-
Adult? Good grief, your definition is different than the one I know. How many times have you used "Christian Taliban"? How many times have you made up some statistic about red states? How many times did YOU start the name-calling first, how many times did you intentionally try to troll someone? I don't know the exact number, but I'd say a bunch.
1) Christian taliban is an accurate term to describe some members of both parties who seek to forcibly bring religion into our lives. 2) I don't make them up, you can research yourself. If you find something wrong, PLEASE let me know so I can know that is wrong information. 3) Never started the name-calling, always in reply to a lot of name calling. 4) Never tried to intentionally troll anyone, The exact number for the latter two is Zero. The first one is probably a bunch and the second one is by definition something that I can't answer.
Someone said Trump does not think before he opens his mouth. I think I like that better
than someone who has thought too much before they open their's. Trump has my vote.
Obama is a fail. I remember how many people were so happy when he won. How were his
lies different from anyone else's? Are those people happy now like they were then? I doubt it.
Obamacare is a joke and so is he, I'll be so glad when he's gone.
Voters need to come to their own conclusions about who is best for this country. Stop listening
to opinions of the media, watchdog groups and the opposite party. People are either too weak,
confused or afraid to stand alone as if just going with the brainwashed public opinion of who
will do right for us is the only choice whether they fully agree with the notion or not. Some of
them dont know why they're supporting someone but will go with the flow because to them it
feels comfortable and right and how can so many others be wrong?
Hillary is a choice worse than Obama. Same political party, same Democratic bull but this
one is a woman. Obama was a first, you don't think the honor of being another first hasn't crossed
her mind? She wants this very badly. She'll lie, cheat and bash as well as the rest of them and if
elected will continue on leading this country down the drain. Not having a humble bone in your
body leads to treachery and arrogance leads to poor judgement. Give me Trumps plan of action
any day over a woman with something to prove. Every time she raises her hands while spewing her
garbage to the brainwashed masses, I think of the devil summoning his legion of evil doing servants.
I see no evil in Trump but if let my mind be manipulated in the way the oposition wants it to be, we have
no choice but to waste more time with the same ideas and agenda we've been subjected to in 8 years.
Even if Trump loses I'll know I didn't go with the flow and vote in the disaster named Hillary. She's sly
in a bad way, calculating and conniving. She knew she had to keep Bill around for a reason and this is it.
I'm not willing to elect someone who compromises principals to reach a personal goal. Anything goes in
politics, they're all wrapped up in the fantasy that they do the best they can. I want Trump's brand of reality.
Not the political correctness that is doing nothing to change this country in the way it needs to change.
Nice post dr65! Like yourself, I agree that some of the things coming out of Donald Trumps aren't exactly well thought out and pre-planned. I just want him to tone down some of his logic. I feel he truly want wants to make America great again while Hillary is sticking to her Saul Alinsky game plan in order to achieve absolute power.
The supreme court will be altered for generations if she is elected and having predominantly liberal justices is one of my biggest fears.
Very well said dr65... and we do need a change.. almost 8 years of Obama and we are worst off now than when he came into office and if Hillary get's in we will have at least another 4 years of the same thing... that Obamacare has put more people into debt...and I am a witness to that.. cause my insurance premium went up 3 times after this Obamacare went into effect...and they just raised their premiums again....and I am still paying on medical bills and than to be taxed at income tax time if you don't have insurance... that is crazy... some people I know had to pay 600 or more dollars in taxes cause they didn't have the Obamacare Insurance...these are the worst insurance plans that I have ever seen in my life...all they do is put you more into debt...
If you thought obamacare was bad before, just wait until 2017. The insurance provided by your employer used to be a tax free benefit, not anymore. Next year the money from your employer towards health insurance (I think over 10K) will be considered your income and you will be taxed 40% on that amount. I belong to a union and the contractor I work for contributes about 13K for my insurance, well next year I will have to pay tax on that 13K. Sucks!
2017, scary stuff.
Yes and he and Michelle get to go out gracefully with smiles on their faces
and stories to tell...him on how he made sure America had health insurance
(but penalized lots) her with her healthy school lunch program (designed to
stop unhealthy choices in school...a grape, a 1/2 oz of milk and 1/4 of a
Cornish hen breast)
Lots will suffer and greenbay, that is sad stuff. I want the real America back.
Dee I'm sure a lot of other people like your $600 example exist. They don't want to
dwell on that...they want us accepting, conforming and peaceful and nodding our
heads and telling them great job! Bs...they should be forced to live what some of
these people are...then come tell me you care. They'd be in line making changes
so fast our heads would spin. I dont care if Trump is rich and certainly dont give
a da mn about his tax returns. Is someone looking for crooked?...grow up people
open your eyes and get your country back from the tyrants that currently run it.
Saul Alinsky was a community organizer who wanted to help those who didn't have any power. Does that sound like Hillary to you? Trump's patriotism is not disputable, his ability to not change his mind on every issue every 3 seconds though is another question. Oh yes because having Supreme Court justices that believe that Satan is walking among us (real Scalia quote) is so not insane and dangerous.
That's extreme right wing conservatism for you. The far-right Obamacare comes from the 1990's Heritage Foundation. Elect a Leftist, or even a centrist like Sanders and you'd get very different results.
Heard an interesting rumor on the radio today. Bernie Sanders might join Jill Stein in the race for the white house. Stein/Sanders? OMG! Buy your fruitcakes before Christmas because they're going to be gone by November.
Only thing we have to fear is fear itself
"I want to hear all different viewpoints and ideas and give my viewpoints and ideas in an adult manner"
Good luck with that!
Four years ago I posted an excerpt from the Republican National platform calling for the banning of all forms of Online gambling and when they ran out of lame arguments, the insults started. Sound familiar? The good news is (maybe because the Republican nominee is a casino owner), for the first time in 12 years, the ban is no longer in the platform.
As for viewpoints, people on this thread are calling for change and if nominating a women for president isn't change, I'd like to hear what they call change.

It figures that you would think just because Hillary is a woman she automatically deserves to be appointed president. Never mind the fact that if her last name wasn't Clinton and she had perpetrated just 1/10th of the criminal activities that the FBI accused her of she would be in jail.
The entire government and a large majority of congress is beyond corrupt. Being delusional about your party is another reason why our country is getting destroyed from within.
I don't think he said that Drenick1... His point was change...
I do agree with you though, we need to change a broken system that serves the few at the expense of many.
How? That's the rub...
Shoulda told me this before I tried to correct them. It's hard though to let such absurdly incorrect nonsense get spewed without pointing out facts.

How is it that Romancandle understood my point but you can't?
"a large majority of congress is beyond corrupt"
The last time I looked the Republicans controlled the House and Senate.
"Being delusional about your party is another reason why our country is getting destroyed from within."
What is delusional about me remarking that the first woman elected president would be a change?
It would be a change if we had the first Canadian born (Cruz) or fired CEO of a major corporation (Carly Fiorina) elected president too. Is this the type of change you're talking about?
"Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!" I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" and "I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache. She has zero chance!"
Voting for Hilbeast is just voting for the same thing again after 8 years of Obummer. It's time to elect someone that's not a career politician that will actually try to change America for the better.
Voting for the same kind of politician AGAIN and expecting different results is insanity.
WOW??? Where to start??? I was Born and Raised in Arizona Minus the 10yrs I lived in Kentucky as an adult, My Grandparents Were Born NATIVE AMERICANS In Oklahoma!
I don't & never have liked McCain but he did serve our Country and was a POW!
Arizona was part of Mexico before becoming a US State!
Trump has never held a Public Office so he's not a Politician! All but 1 of his wives was not BORN A US Citizen, so by his words his current Wife should BE THE FIRST TO BE DEPORTED!
There is a WALL IN Part of AZ, They Have Tunnels in Mexico And have for at least 30yrs I know of (that's when the 1st was found) to get into the US!
When Trump don't want to pay his bill's or gets Divorced he hides HIS money and Files Bankruptcy!
What Trump has is YELLOW (BAD DYE JOB) HAIR AND PROBABLY OWNS A GLUE FACTORY IN CHINA TO HOLD HIS HAIR IN PLACE!!!!
HILLARY IS GOING TO STOMP ON TRUMP LIKE OBAMA DID McCAIN IN PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FIRST RACE FOR PRESIDENT!
Hey...His current wife is a legal immigrant. You do know the difference between legal and illegal don't you? BTW Hillary is about as corrupt as any politician has ever been. Also, look at her eyes when she speaks...She's nuts.
YES, I live in a State where the MAJORITY of people are from someplace else!
My Grandparents on 1 side were Migrant workers of Our Own Land before we let the IMMIGRANTS in off the BOATS! My Grandparents on the other side Had Migrant workers working our land, NEVER EVER treated them different then any other person in Town.
I have lived with both LEGAL & ILLEGAL Immigrants my whole life, their are a lot of Illegal Immigrants that come here to work hard send money to their Families and want to be LEGAL have a safe place to live in this Country because their not safe where they are with their Families, Yes their are those that have a different reason and do need to be DEPORTED!
I Logged back in because I forgot to put in my last reply, LOOK AT THE MESS PRESIDENT OBAMA INHERITED From Bush when he got into Office!
Bush was going to take us BACK to WAR to Finish what his daddy started before 9/11 even happened Bush Had enough Intel given to him to know what was about too happen and he IGNORED it, was the excuse he needed!!!! I know People in the DOJ, That stands for DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, In case you didn't know???
He does not get that most people do not vote for someone based on gender or race. Hillary and I may have similar educational backgrounds, but it ends there. I want to see the correct and honest woman in the Whitehouse, not any woman.
I'm sure you know the recession that obama inherited was caused by the democrats. Bill Clinton repealed the glass steagall act...That was a law passed by congress after the great depression. It prohibited commercial banks from acting like investment banks. That coupled with the democrat "community investment act" which gave no money down mortgages to people who couldn't afford the payments. Democrats caused the recession of 2008.
And if there were any JUSTICE in the DOJ, Hillary would be indicted by now. Yea so keep blaming Bush, Bush, Bush. I was no great Bush fan but I sure the heck am a Trump fan.
The US government receives tons of intelligence daily but I find it highly offensive you saying Pres. Bush knew 9-11 was about to happen. Have you read some of the chattering they were monitoring in the months before? I recall receiving a memo about this increase in "chatter" months before 9-11 but if you can translate that into planes being hijacked and crashed into buildings, you are the greatest genius in the world.
By the way, I have worked in Washington, DC for many years and fled a city we all thought was about to be invaded. And you have the nerve to criticize me for making a comment about the Tennessee lottery winners? What a hypocrite you are. I thanked God every day that Pres. Bush was in charge that day, vs nutty AL Gore. I know far more people in DOJ than you ever will know, and you are nuts. By the way, the State Dept. and FBI and CIA were the primary Departments charged with monitoring foreign communications, not DOJ.
I agree completely! And preferably one that doesn't steal the silver and china as she leaves the White House!
Lol. And they trashed the Whitehouse when they left. Pres. Bush chose to not make a big deal of it because he is such a class act.
lol! His rhetoric is getting more bizarre with each post.
I think King of earth and American Indian are siamese twins and may have been separated at birth.
About 99 days until the election. By then this thread will hit 60 plus pages. LOL
No he and Sully are Siamese twins separated at birth. Both spew whatever comes out of their butts without the slightest idea or care for whether it's true.
Stop trolling me.
You can't stop something you're not doing. I'm not trolling anyone or anything, but you spew whatever comes out of your mouth without the slightest concern for whether it's true and just get extremely defensive when confronted with it. Again, show me one source backing up something you have ever said.
You're so full of it you stink, I am not posting entire books to prove what I know to be true.
You live for the left wing rags, believe everything they tell you, you are brainwashed, and you can't see it.
I guessing you spent much of your life getting picked on, now you want revenge, you want a big oppressive government to step in and hurt as many people as possible, taking away their money, their rights, land, jobs and whatever people have that you covet.
You run around they threads trying to sound smart, oh listen to kingodirt.
What you did to Msdufflebags birthday thread was entirely uncalled for.
You hop from thread to thread looking for ways to make others look small and stupid..
You are here to troll for your left wing extreme agenda.
I asked for a source and the fact that you can not do so speaks volumes on how ignorant you are. I won't address the rambling nonsense except to say that I asked a fair question on the thread and got a fair response.
And you can't give any logical source or reason why you would want the government to hurt so many people.
By the way, I like men.
Well, look who ran off to his hidey hole....
I don't owe you anything, not now not ever. I don't answer to you and nobody here has to answer to you.
Take your demands somewhere else King!
Just who do you think you are telling me what to do.
People, if you want to be oppressed and lose your rights, have no hope for a better future, then by all means vote for Hillary, Jill or even Bernie, this guy is the epitome of what those people stand for.
Do you really want this type of reasoning in your life?
Do you really want to wake up and ask yourself what the heck happened to my hopes and dreams?
Do you really want to see people suffer, just because they may or may not have more then you?
I have to believe most people are good and decent, everyone has happiness and pain.
But, when you oppress the masses, well......draw your own conclusions.
Really too bad ridge isn't around to educate some of these folks. He would have a field day and it would be fun reading.
Oh yes tell the world how much physical pain you get from filing taxes. All those paper cuts!!!!! The tyranny of paper cuts!!!!!! Tell us again which party advocates the government ban porn, legalize torture.. I mean "corrective therapy" for gay minors, which party advocates for workers to starve rather than be paid a reasonable minimum wage, which party wants to ban the right of two people to marry each other, which party wants invasive and useless ultrasounds just to stop women from getting a legal abortion etc etc.
I'll say this about taxes. I sold some farm property last year and the taxes I paid on my income tax return did hurt. Me and the people I was going to hire to replace the roof on my house. That money could have and should have gone to people working in my community to support their families. Instead the government got it to waste.
You want to throw your money at the government, (assuming you even have a job, I know, that's a stretch), go ahead. I would rather pass, and support those in my community would could use the money.
Child porn and baby killer.
Need I say more people.
He doesn't work and pay taxes, is worried about porn, needs to address the parents of gay youths who send their kids to some place for correction, that's not political.
Thinks ultra sounds are invasive, lol. Abortion is legal, nobody had the power to stop it unless the Supreme court over turns Wade V. Roe
Ultra sounds are for the mother's protection as abortions are dangerous.
People vote on Gay Marriage, if majority says no, then go to California.
Just because someone doesn't believe in killing babies, does not make them bad people, just people who love babies.
My blood ran cold when I saw a clip of some DNC speaker mentioning her abortion and people cheered.
Yea. And the mother of Michael Brown spoke, the guy who attacked a cop, tried to take his gun and was shot. What do people expect when they attack a cop. Also, there were no American flags at the DNC convention for the first two days. Unbelievable. The democrats are anti-America. Anyone who votes for Hillary should get the hell out of this country. Disgusting group of people.
No the Republican Party platform advocates the banning of ADULT CONSENTUAL Porn and you know it.
I have worked and paid taxes in previous summers. I care about the government not becoming an oppressive theocracy that you so want it to be. You scream OPPRESSION at the slightest tax increase but you want a totalitarian theocracy and you see no irony.
Is that the reason why you have so much hatred for the Republican party? it sure seems that way. You are simply a liberal pervert and want everything your way.
Well Drenick..what do you expect him to do all day living in his parent's basement? Contribute to society???? No....gotta have his porn. Lol He only works during the summers anyway as he stated. He is way too entitled to work full time.
You worry about the United States government becoming an oppressive theocracy? Really? Really? When you paid taxes, did you pay more than the IRS required you to pay? You can always write them a check for more than you owe. LOL Think of all the starving children because you wanted to keep more of the money you earned.
WAHHHHHHH I miss Ridge.
Who's Ridge? Before my time.
No it doesn't, I guessing there's a whole lot of them who love it.
He is my friend and I miss him dearly everyday. He's one of the good guys in America.
College guy wants a 15 dollar an hour at mcwhiners.
So what happened? Did he just stop posting?
Yes, Not sure what happened.
rdgrnr is his member name, check him out, he is in my favorite list.
What I get is the usual hypocrisy any time politics are discussed on LP.
In 2000 and 2008 one party controlled the House and Senate, but the president was from the other party. Today we have the same gridlock. The elections in both 2000 and 2008 resulted in one party in control of all three.
The last time I looked, repeating history is not change.
Speaking of hypocrisy, how is it possible for somebody who claimed they "blocked your posts" to read them?
I know what happened, but never could understand why some of the members calling him their "close friend" don't have a clue. The guy created an excellent Archie Bunker type persona and would certainly enjoy this election cycle.
I blocked you several times over the years, people can change their mind ya know.
I see you're happy he's not here. I just hope he's okay and just had to walk away, for as much as I don't care for you, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you.
For the record, I'm still an undecided presidential voter living in a solid red state. And it would be refreshing to read why I should vote for (not against) either candidate.
I'll tell you my reason for Trump.
To vote for Hilary would be voting for the same as usual politician. We need real change, right now. Will Trump be better than Hilary? Well, that is the great unknown. What I do know is that Hilary is the same as every politician that ran, Repub and Dem during the primaries. I'm glad Cruz, and the rest of the Repubs lost to Trump. Again, we need someone different, now. That is why I did not vote for Cruz, or anyone else in our primary. I voted for Trump. My wife was in disbelief when I told her (she voted for Cruz), but I told her the same thing I saying now. Yeah, Trump has his warts. He's not polished like a career politician. I like that.
You want the same old, same old? Hilary is your choice.
You want someone who can and just might make a difference? Trump.
DO NOT CALL ME A LIBERAL. I AM A LEFTIST NOT those center-right moderate conservatives Obama and Hillary. I stopped viewing the Republican Party as a legitimate party after the Hurricane Sandy bill got bored down by southern leeches like Rand Paul and Tom Coburn whose states were the biggest munchers of 2012 federal aid. Chris Christie was a hero when he whipped Rand's money sucking butt.
I spend most of my time learning things that would make your head spin thank you very much. I've never watched porn at all btw, I'm too busy trying to find s job so that I won't end up like 90% of the southern Republican Party on welfare.
I'm not "happy he's not here" because I know why he isn't.
"I just hope he's okay and just had to walk away "
Why do you think he "had to walk away"?
There's nothing wrong with only paying the minimum that you need to pay, the only problem is that the minimum is too low to support what the government needs to do.
You have to decide what you think is best for the collective country.
I listen to what they both have to say, not what someone else says they say.
I know we need jobs, not refugees, I know we need to secure our borders, I also know we need to make coming here easier for those with real skills and desires. Not drug dealers and gun runners.
I know that if you cripple the middle class with excessive tax, they stop spending, thus business suffers and more people lose jobs and prices go up.
I know we have tons of product coming into the country while these countries do not buy our products.
I don't claim to have all the answers, but as far as I see , Trump is a business man who is fed up with the crap our Government and that means all political parties, all getting away with.
They are forgetting they work for us, I don't want a Government that wants me to work for them.
I know we have a current regime trying to chip away at our rights, one that controls much of the media.
One that started class wars, race wars and gender wars. They are following the aslinsky, and Cloward and Piven playbooks. All ya got to do is read them.
One question I still ponder, why did they make sure so many people flooded our border, put these sick people on buses and ship them all over the country. What kind of person does this to their own country?
Time to go get the smart guy, your losing.
I don't know.
IT DOES. The Republican Party is indistinguishable from the Taliban

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/politics/gop-platform-republican-convention-internet-pornography/
Read it for yourself
https://www.gop.com/the-2016-republican-party-platform/
I posted the whole platform, you can see it for yourself.
They are talking about child porn and human trafficking, did you even read it?
Why are you so worried about porn anyways? Really? go get the smart guy.
the whole point of America becoming independent was because of "tyranny" (not actually but irrelevant to what i have to say). You really see nothing wrong with the government snooping in and arresting you for watching two adults have consensual sex? A call to ban just child porn has been in the platform for decades (as it should and must be) but in 2016 the Christian Taliban finally gets enough power to advocate for banning ALL porn in the platform. i care about privacy rights and constitutional protections and that means defending the right to do something that i wouldn't do (watch porn). As MLK said, Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
My question is can Trump work Congress because it's nothing like working with a board of directors and with foreign leaders. I assumed after Trump won the nomination his insult filled speeches would stop or at least use only twitter, but IMO, they are getting worse. Another thing I find problematic is the support (or lack of) by the top Republicans; there is a huge difference between saying they will support the candidate and wearing a "I like Trump" button.
The members of Congress have over the past 20 years gone from largely being a body of trustees (Vote based on the merits) and delegates (voting the wy their constituents want) to being a body of almost entirely partisan (voting the way the party wants). If Trump wins and he gets a Republican Congress, he can get virtually anything he wants. if he gets a Democratic Congress, then literally next to nothing will get done.The same would happen in reverse with Hillary.
The Republican base is united while the leadership is divided, The Democratic leadership is united while the base is divided. I don't know which is worse, this election will tell.
I don't think that Trump will be able to get anything he wants if the Republicans control the Congress and the Senate, for the simple reason that the Republicans are NOT necessarily in agreement with Trump on what policy should be. If Trump gets elected, the Republicans will either gradually start to fall in line with some of Trump's ideas, or they won't !!! Instead, they will force Trump to fall in line with their ideas, or Nothing will get accomplished or passed, as usual.
Trump is in for a RUDE AWAKENING and a SERIOUS REALITY CHECK in dealing with a Republican controlled Congress/Senate, he just doesn't know it yet !!! Trump thinks "he's got this", but he doesn't "get it yet". The BEHIND THE SCENES REALITY in the White House will be that if the Republicans don't TRUST and RESPECT Trump's ability to LEAD this NATION, they will NOT Cooperate with Trump the way that he Expects, and he won't be able to "Make a Deal" with anyone.
There will be a Power Struggle and a Power Play between the Executive and Legislative branches of the U.S. Government [as usual] !!! Because he is CEO of Trump International Empire, Trump thinks the President holds the Power. But, he's WRONG about that, in the U.S. Government !!!
How many of Trump's policy ideas can he pass by EXECUTIVE ORDER, and Bypass the House and Senate ??? Most of Trump's Policy Ideas will have to pass through Both the House and Senate. This will NOT happen !!! Trump will be the one forced to "give in" and compromise with what the Republicans and/or Democrats want instead.
He also will NOT be able to continue to speak his mind unfiltered and be politically incorrect, b/c it will NOT be acceptable anymore in the White House, b/c his constituents, the public, and the Media will continue to CRUCIFY him and TARNISH his image even more as President. This happens to every President. Trump will be No Exception to this General Rule.
BTW, Who is going to FUND the Mexican Wall, if the Mexicans Don't ???
What are the Logistics of a Muslim Ban that can be accomplished , and how much money is it going to cost the Taxpayers ???
THINK about the REAL LOGISTICAL and MONETARY REALITY of Trump's Policy Ideas, and Consider if he can really accomplish what he thinks he can accomplish, working through the U.S. Congress and Senate.
We should NOT be Voting for or Supporting a New and Different Political Ideology anymore that Cannot be Realistically Accomplished, b/c we tried that with Obama and it didn't work out so well.
We should be Voting for and Supporting a Realistic REALITY CHECK that CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED , working through the Congress and Senate !!!
I don't necessarily think Hillary Clinton can do any better working through the Congress and Senate. I don't know about Gary Johnson or Jill Stein.
The point is, I don't think that we as Americans should have Unrealistically High Expectations of Donald Trump, only to be Disappointed like we have been with Obama, who has had a hard time working with the Congress and Senate.
It's called Realism in Politics.
You are correct destinycreation, nothing is going to get done. The repubs and the dems will be piss about something that trump said or did, and trump will be piss at the repubs and dems. Bernie would have done a lot better. trump has no idea about nothing, and how is trump going to bring jobs back to the USA????
Here's the reality...Its between Trump or Hillary. One or the other, that's it. Forget the third parties. People may not like Trump but at least he's sincere and honest. Hillary on the other hand is a corrupt liar.
trump is an idiot! I can not wait for the debates.
LOL! I can't wait for the debates too! Trumps an idiot? Sure, any idiot can make 10 billion dollars starting with 1 million. Is that why the democrats want to schedule the debate during an NFL football game? You figure that one out.
The debate dates were set and agreed to by Trump a year ago. How did his team overlook this?
Trumps team had nothing to do with it. A year ago he wasn't the nominee.
trump is going to bail on the debates. He is an idiot in the political ring.
bigbear you're too much. Who will Hillbilly debate? Herself? They'll reschedule the debate dates. Nice to have a Presidential candidate with conviction. Tired of wishy-washy politicians. Did you know Hillary (a proven liar) was thrown off the Watergate commission for stealing evidence? That's the type of person you want as President? Really?
Vote for Jill Stein, Kingoeat says she'll help keep porno on the net. gotta love a woman who ......
just put Bernie back in.
You can still vote for him, he's just not the demograt nominee.
No, that would be giving it to trump.
I'd trust Bernie more than Hillary at least the old guy was sincere in his convictions. But the DNC put him down for corrupt Hillary even though he had more popular support.
Hillary leading trump after both conventions. 47% to 41%
Which poll is that? CNN or NYT?
Politico: Trump support tumbles after conventions
Fortune:
Hillary Clinton Just Beat Trump In Post-Convention Polling
LOL! Politico and Fortune? Anyway, what's Hillary's position on job creation? That's why you're voting for her? Right? Or am I wrong.
How is trump going to create jobs?????? I'm voting for Hillary because I can't stand trump.
He already has, tens of thousands.
So, trump is going to build more trump buildings if he gets into office? Big corporations are pulling away from trump. Why did trump lie about the NFL??? He received a letter from the NFL, a lie.
Warren buffett is about to introduce Hillary at her rally, YES! Warren Buffett!
From The Fix: The list of big-name Republicans in Hillary Clinton’s corner just got even longer! trump screwed up this time.
A few weeks ago, we assembled a list of some other prominent GOP voices who said they planned to back Hillary Clinton in the general election. This list will be updated as events warrant.
Richard Armitage, Henry Paulson, Brent Scowcroft. Three big-name former George W. Bush administration officials in the past few weeks have announced that they are supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016 — all because Donald Trump is simply a bridge too far for them.
Then tell us what happened. You do not know anything about him.
Oh come on now bigbear. Those are (establishment) republicans. They take the money from the lobbyists, you know, the people who hate Trump. Trump is for us (working middle-class) he doesn't need to run for President, he's doing this for America. The establishment, both republicans and democrats, are for big money in DC. And as for Warren Buffett, why do you think obama rejected the Keystone pipeline? Its because Buffett is making millions moving oil with his railroad and the pipeline would end that. Its all about money, don't you realize that??? I won't convince you and you won't convince me, lets leave it at that.
with most of what you said and I'll address what I don't.
"You have to decide what you think is best for the collective country. "
I don't think it's possible for any of us to know what is best for the collective country. Each state has one or more (California has 53) Congressional districts and the idea is to elect a Representative that will vote what is best for that district. There are two US Senators from each state and again they should at least try to vote in the best interest of their state. The President has no vote and is not even elected by popular vote (Gore v Bush).
"I know we have tons of product coming into the country while these countries do not buy our products. "
"Buy American" was everywhere in the early 1980s, but eventually lost out to "shop at Walmart". The answer seems simple, but convincing people to buy American again isn't.
""They are following the aslinsky, and Cloward and Piven playbooks. "
Wasn't that the strategy used by the Nixon administration?
You want to explain that Nixon thing?
"The Republican base is united while the leadership is divided"
Do you think the evangelicals are even 80% behind Trump?
No, I don't think the evangelicals are 80% behind trump.
How would you know?
I believe it was because the keystone was not going to give a lot of americans long term jobs. There are other reasons also. Like, america was going to get a bad deal. Also, a lot of the oil was not for the USA.
You kidding me? That project would have meant thousands of short term (high paying) construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs. You have mortgage payments? Or you on subsidized housing? If you have huge bills to pay, any freaking job is better than none! Jesus Christ man!
Yea, and some of that oil is going to other countries. So what? Its going there anyway. Through our pipeline or not. I'd call that a good deal.
SHORT TERM JOBS for americans! You are trying to justify it by saying it is better than nothing. SHORT TERM!
Not a good deal for americans.
Whats the construction schedule? A year? Two? Whats your alternative? McDonnalds or Walmart? What do you do for a living anyway? You don't seem to care about people who work for a living.
Deals like that should be long term for AMERICANS! Not long term for Canadians on AMERICAN SOIL. Buying homes, raising a family = LONG TERM support.
LIGB
You are wasting your time with him. He probably doesn't even have a job.

Design engineer!
The only way to get an idea of what percentage votes will be from the exit polls, but if Trump continues to insult five star families, part of the base will be voting for Hillary.
Then act like one.
Bernie is an independent that ran as a Democrat. Only time will tell if his agenda continues.
How does a design engineer act? Why are you getting mad? It's just opinions.
That is why I can not see myself voting for trump. Trump should have changed buy now, but he is not going to change. He needs acting classes to start to act presidential.
He had no say, but he was informed of the dates last September and had no problem with them until now.
There were no presidential debates in 1964,1968 or 1972 so it's certainly possible they cancel them all, i don't think either candidate wants to debate right now.
I've never said that you liar, Jill has made no mention of porn nor am i basing my vote on that at all. But Jill's campaign IS focused on college tuition reform and tyhat is obviously something i care a great deal about.
The Democrats are supposed to have a bigger bounce out of their convention, if anything +6 is pretty bad.
Yes. Mormons are a lot less behind Trump than they should be but they'll come around.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/20/us/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-poll.html?_r=0
It's going to get bigger.
Is that an insult or favor to NFL fans?
Depends who's playing. I heard the first debate is scheduled during a Packers game. LOL
Yea, you're probably right. Keystone would be a massive construction project and would get more oil on the market which would help lower the price of gas. Some people just can't see the forest for the trees. Anyway, if Trump is elected he will approve the deal.
The industry’s US jobs claims are linked to a $7 billion KXL project budget. However, the budget for KXL that will have a bearing on US jobs figures is dramatically lower—only around $3 to $4 billion. A lower project budget means fewer jobs. » The project will create no more than 2,500-4,650 temporary direct construction jobs for two years, according to TransCanada’s own data supplied to the State Department. » The company’s claim that KXL will create 20,000 direct construction and manufacturing jobs in the U.S is not substantiated. » There is strong evidence to suggest that a large portion of the primary material input for KXL—steel pipe—will not even be produced in the United States. A substantial amount of pipe has already been manufactured in advance of pipeline permit issuance. » The industry’s claim that KXL will create 119,000 total jobs (direct, indirect, and induced) is based on a flawed and poorly documented study commissioned by TransCanada (The Perryman Group study). Perryman wrongly includes over $1 billion in spending and over 10,000 person-years of employment for a section of the Keystone project in Kansas and Oklahoma that is not part of KXL and has already been built. » KXL will not be a major source of US jobs, nor will it play any substantial role at all in putting Americans back to work. Even if the Perryman figures were accurate, and all of the workers for the next phase of the project were hired immediately, the US seasonally adjusted unemployment rate would remain at 9.1%—exactly where it is now. » KXL will divert Tar Sands oil now supplying Midwest refineries, so it can be sold at higher prices to the Gulf Coast and export markets. As a result, consumers in the Midwest could be paying 10 to 20 cents more per gallon for gasoline and diesel fuel. These additional costs (estimated to total $2–4 billion) will suppress other spending and will therefore cost jobs.

An independent review.
An independent and unbiased review from Cornell University?
I'd be shocked if Trump lost Utah, but the winning percentage will be a lot less than the last ten Republicans. IMO, it's more like voting for neither than voting for the other candidate.
I'm amazed they didn't throw man-made climate change somewhere into that review of Keystone.
So where is your info about keystone, liveingreenbay????? Sense you disagree with me and Kingofearth!
That might happen that Utah turns blue. CNN states that it's even in Utah between trump and hillary.
Doesn't matter what I post. It will just go in one furry bear ear and out the other.
You are just a little know it all!
LOL!
https://youtu.be/qEnPViFy00E?t=72
The Red fortress will not be broken this election nor does Hillary need to. All she needs to do is defend the Blue wall and pick up one or two swing states which is enough of a challenge given how poorly she did against Bernie in a bunch of key light blue states like NH and WI.
Yes, I saw one similar on cnn.
Trumps in Green Bay tomorrow. I'm going to see THE MAN tomorrow. Weeeeeeeeeeeee
I noticed that and got a good laugh!
This is what it looks like when you challenge power and status quo. Trump is being assailed from every major power structure. Do you not have any level of curiosity as to why this is? You can go along in your make believe world that he is an idiot and that is why this is occurring or you may more rightly conclude that an outsider is a threat to the corrupt system. I find anyone voicing support for Hillary laughable- any honest look at her long-term and near-term history will reveal a list of ineptitude and corruption that is mind blowing in its scope. The Republican defectors that you tout as proof that Trump is so unintelligent that even the Republicans hate him is again ignoring that he is also a threat to that power structure. These a-holes thought they were going to jam Jeb down the throats of the voters- this was laughable from the onset but they went and pissed 100 million dollars away in negative adds to secure six delegates. At least the Republican primary voters were wise enough to reject another Bush-Clinton election; the democrats on the other hand went with Hillary- what a joke.
Insult five star families? Khizr Khan, like all of us, is many things. One of his roles was father to Captain Humayun Khan. Another of his roles is a lawyer that most recently focused his practice on securing EB5 visas for foreign born Muslims seeking to immigrate to the US on what has been characterized as a system that is ripe for abuse and corruption. A previous employment stint was with a law firm that has long prepared the tax returns and provided other legal services to- wait for it- Bill and Hillary Clinton. He, and his colleagues, have numerous and long-term ties to the Clintons. By agreeing to speak at the DNC and unleash a withering attack on Donald Trump he decided to become a major participant in the current election. These are but a few of this man's roles in life. So, as Donald Trump clearly stated, we all honor the sacrifice made by his son, and the pain experienced by the family, it is these other roles of Mr. Khan that can rightfully be challenged. This is not all that nuanced but it is so much easier to fall in line with the Clinton campaign and media narrative. I wonder if you are one of the willfully ignorant lemmings so important to the democrat party's successes or are you just truly clueless as to what is going on all around you.
Well said long odds.
Enjoyed your posts "long odds". Those who support Obama have absolutely no clue just how damaging "fundamentally changing America" has altered the America we all have known and loved.
Bottomline is that the way things are going now, trump can not win the white house! All of the poles for trump are dropping. That is the bottomline! In most cases, Hillary has a double digit lead.
Another lie from trump, "he saw the video of the money being unloaded". Why would he say that? Now today, he stated that he did not see that. Another lie!
Obama's "health care solution" is a far-right conservative fairy tale. We need to repeal and replace it with real health care for all. His actions on gun control are insane as all he did was all crazy people to carry arsenals onto Amtrak trains. Obama spoke like a progressive but he was a conservative in progressive clothing.
Good for you GreenBay!! I'd like to see him too.
So, you're a real student of history, huh? Certainly there's never been an election result that differed from what polls were showing, even polls that were done much closer to an election than where we are at present. But bigbear has pronounced it so let it be so.
I think this one is different from past history. Trump has pushed himself away from different groups: black votes, hispanic votes, Muslim votes, a lot of women votes, some of the republican votes, big business votes, wall street votes and now he endorses Ryan and McCain because he needs the votes. This is different from past history.
He pushed himself away from different groups?
Don't look now but the majority of Americans (including the "minorities" you indicate) support what he stands for. Channel surfed the nightly news last week, it was a liberal non-stop bash attack on Trump every night. Those polls you cited in an earlier post are skewed. Look at his rallies, thousands and thousands of people. Look at Hillary's rallies...No excitement there.
WOW! I can not believe what you posted! I see why you are voting for trump. 1 - 6 shows that you are an IDIOT!
1 - 6 is going to get their votes?
LOL bigbear...Black people don't want safety in their neighborhoods? Muslims like to be blown to bits by radical jihadists? Not everyone is a government handout deadbeat like you. Wait and see.
You are one of the reasons that trump is not going to win.
Total ignorance!
This is not the primaries, trump has to add votes to win.
She wants to raise taxes on the middle class, check out coin tosses blog, word came right out of her mouth, then check out my blog. Remember to Thank Hillary.
An engineer makes good money bear, why would you want to give it away?
Do you need to eat, shelter, clothes?
Yes, I heard that speech and I think it was in error. I'm sure it was a lot of middle class people in the audience. It was an error, Hillary's poles would be down if that was true.
Freudian slip.
I agree with what you mentioned but their was a little discrepancy. Obamacare is not a far-right conservative fairy tale and he is the furthest thing from being a conservative.
I live close in to DC in a very over the top liberal suburb. This morning I was getting my hair cut, and both the owner and one of her employees (Asian and Hispanic) were openly saying how scared they were of Hillary and about the 2 DNC murders. Look it up. They remarked how people have to open their eyes. I was so pleasantly surprised. You have no idea how unusual this is for this area. Wait till more emails are released in October. The lead attorney in the anti Clinton fraud case was found dead yesterday.
"The lead attorney in the anti Clinton fraud case was found dead yesterday."
Who is the lead attorney in the anti-Clinton fraud case ?? How did he die ???
Do the Clintons have a HIT TEAM in place ??? If so, how have they gotten away with this for years ???
Emily posted "A Short List of Clinton Associates Now Dead" in her blog.
Has the Clinton Hit Team been substantiated and investigated by the FBI and/or Secret Service, or whomever ???
What is actually going on behind the scenes, that all of these very scary death "coincidences" linked to the Clintons are still happening ???
A few weeks ago just before Bernie Sanders announced his support for Hillary, a young DNC staffer named Seth Rich was murdered at 4AM in DC and robbery was not a motive. He was due to testify against Clinton. A lot of people associated with the Clintons have mysteriously came up dead.
And that's Trump biggest challenge. His base is the 47% who don't pay taxes (the elderly and southern republicans). There are some taxpayers who are supporting trump, but will it be enough?
Obamacare was created by the far-right Heritage Foundation as the far-right alternative to the center-left healthcare plan that the Clinton's proposed. Then it was abound ones until Governor Romney of Massachusetts dug it up and fixed it to make it work. Obama being a center-right conservative took Romneycare as his own solution. Obama is a moderate conservative who had brought little change, especially little positive change, to this country.
Not sure we're you get your news but saying Trump's base is the 47% who don't pay their taxes is borderline insane. I highly suggest you look elsewhere if you want relevant and truthful news.
I googled this " dead lead attorney" business:
"On July 3, 2016, Shawn Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in the fraud class action suit against the Democrat Party on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters (this was before Wikileaks released documents proving the DNC was working against the Sanders campaign during the 2016 primary)."
"An unconfirmed report holds that Lucas was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home on the evening of 2 August 2016. Paramedics responding to her 911 call found no signs of life."
"There are no other details about Lucas’ cause of death and reporters were unable to confirm anything more than the fact he had passed away."
"Some versions of the rumor tried to associated Lucas with a sinister plot linked to Hillary Clinton by asserting that he was the "lead attorney" in the DNC lawsuit, but he was just one of the process servers who delivered papers to a DNC office. (Lucas was named in a motion filed on 22 July 2016 by the DNC, seeking to dismiss the suit on partial grounds of improper service.)"
This information was taken from news sites on the Internet. [Snopes and Zero Hedge]
If everyone who crosses Clinton ends up DEAD, Hillary Clinton might be scarier than Donald Trump.
All of the political candidates have some new ideas and a political agenda that they're trying to accomplish.
Personally, I'm choosing to vote for CHARACTER this Election Year 2016, and choose the lesser of all of the Evils. I will be casting my vote for JILL STEIN for President, whether she has a chance of winning, or not.
I think we have seen how organizations protect the Clintons. Look at the DNC.
He was named in the motion seeking to dismiss the suit. Obviously he was not unimportant or irrelevant to the matter.
Anyone who is DEAD for no apparent or good reason, is a Relevant Human Being.

Facts are borderline insanity?
Trump polls miserably among Asian Americans
Donald Trump is wildly unpopular among Asian-American voters, who are flocking to the Democratic Party, according to a new survey.
Only 19 percent of Asian Americans hold a favorable view of the presumptive Republican nominee, according to a survey of more than 1,000 registered Asian Americans conducted by three Asian-American NGOs, while 61 percent view him unfavorably.

Most Asian-Americans don't favour Donald Trump: Survey
The most recent Asian voter survey, released by three Asian-American non-profit organisations, shows that 61 per cent of registered Asian- American voters have an unfavourable opinion of Mr Trump and only 19 per cent look upon him favourably.
Candidate preferences aside, the Democrats also have a favourability rating of 64 per cent with Asian- Americans compared with 31 per cent for the Republicans.
And as the Asian-American demographic grows - it is projected that Asians will be the largest immigrant group in the country by 2065 - many argue that this is one community that should no longer be ignored.
Check out my blog on 2 articles about Clinton.
Trump is going nowhere with Latino voters. Here’s the proof
David Damore and Matt Barreto at Latino Decisions went the extra step of looking at six swing states with large or emerging Latino electorates and whose electoral votes will be infinitely more important than total national vote. They can only be described as rough terrain for the Republican Party. Below are those states and the percentage of Latino vote needed for the GOP nominee to win the state, assuming black turnout is not as high in November as it was in 2008 or 2012 and the Latino share of the electorate “slightly increases.”
The Latino Decisions battleground survey from April shows that Trump’s unfavorable rating is an astronomical 87 percent among Latino registered voters. It’s 91 percent in Colorado, 87 percent in Nevada and 84 percent in Florida.
Only 1 Percent Of Black Voters Support Donald Trump
The GOP presidential nominee polls at a record low among a demographic key to winning the general election
WASHINGTON ? Rounding out one of the worst weeks in his presidential campaign, Donald Trump faces yet another sad reality. According to new NBC/Wall Street Journal polling released Thursday, only 1 percent of black voters nationally support the Republican nominee.
This is the lowest level of support ever recorded among the demographic, indicating that a sentiment already present among black voters in swing states is widespread. Trump also suffers among Hispanic voters, garnering just 26 percent of their vote, according to an Economist/YouGov poll released earlier this week.
Facts? what a joke! Benzinga is a radical progressive blog site and business insider gets the majority of their news articles from left wing bloggers such as Benzinga. With sources like these it's no wonder you are so ill informed.
FYI, articles written by bloggers aren't known for facts, rather they contain viewpoints that align with their ideology.
Facts? LOL! That article was written by Benzinga, did you even read it? Talk about disgusting language from a far left, democrat leaning source. There are many reasons for taxes paid and taxes received from the feds. As a famous politician once said...Its the economy stupid. What party ran this economy for the last 7+ years? Here is another fact, this economy has the slowest growth rate since 1949. Trump policies can help stimulate the economy, Hillary will be more of that same liberal malaise.
Bigbear stop posting BS from pro-illegal immigration latino groups, Politico and NBC. You're embarrassing yourself.
Your so called facts are based on a far-left blog site. Benzinga is a joke among their peers and present their viewpoints to unsuspecting, gullible individuals such as yourself.
And you are showing that you are an idiot!
Antichrist at any and all costs.
Hey bigbear, stop calling me an idiot just because I have a different viewpoint than you. BTW, which pole are you referring to? The north or south pole? LOL
Than grow up you little SOB!
What are some good non-partisan sources for info on the election?
I can't speak for Drenick but I would say that Fox news even though they tend to lean right is probably the fairest as they do have a few left leaning anchors. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS are well known for being in the tank for Democrats. Over 90% of their employees are registered Democrats while a few worked for Hillary herself.
I think fox news is just like the rest of the news stations. So I watch foxnews, cnn, and msnbc to try and get the big picture. Certain shows on fox seem to really push right sometimes in a childess way, but my favorite would be morning joe on msnbc.
Try to find something false about it. You can't. I wouldn't post a source that isn't true. You're free to go try to find a source that shows Mississippi isn't a big welfare leech, but you know you can't.
No, KingofDerp, facts aren't "borderline insanity" but someone would have to be crazy to believe the ones you've spewed forth.
You challenged: Then do it, show us something this (that is?) contradictory or factually incorrect.
Who cares? They're all a crock, anyway.
I want to preface my rebuttal with how I want to point out I have tried to avoid using the term "Liberal", especially as a pejorative and have instead opted for "Progressive". Classical liberalism makes up a large part of my own personal political beliefs.
The next several come from the same vomitus in a single post.
Conservatives and Republicans oppose the minimum wage
No, they don't. A Pew research poll from a few years back said half of Republicans support a raise in min. wage. I've since seen other more recent polls that show a majority of Republicans favor an increase, but not to the levels the Democrats propose.
As has been explained to you in here, min. wage was always intended to be a starting wage for people entering the work force, not a perpetual one. I've read that, in McDonalds case, it wouldn't raise the price of a burger by much. That's probably true in some other areas, too, but I'd also bet it will reduce the numbers of those entry level employees hired. McD's is already working on automation and I bet other businesses will follow suit because labor costs are usually 70% of any business's overhead. Sure, raise it if you must, but it HAS to be gradual or the wage hike will have some adverse repercussions, a ripple effect which would turn into a tidal wave and wreak havoc with our economy.
That's one of the most fundamental differences between Progressives and Conservatives; a Conservative says "Wait a minute, let's not be too hasty, let's think about it, discuss it before doing anything." Progressives are like spoiled children, wanting something not just NOW, but yesterday and they hold their breath and stomp their widdle feet until the adults (Conservatives) give in.
support homophobia
Sure, you have some religious types who were anti-gay marriage, dislike the gay "lifestyle", but at least they're steadfast in their opposition while many Democrats only switched when they saw which way the political wind was blowing. Me? I'm a conservative small L libertarian and I had no objection other than semantics. Marriage has always been defined as a religious union between a man and a woman. (and "gay" meant happy) On the civil rights side, I saw nothing wrong with civil unions, but my libertarian bent makes me chafe that govt. has ANYTHING to do with marriage to begin with.
support women dying from illegal abortions etc etc, it's pretty clear which side of the spectrum has concern for human life
Ah, the "coat hanger" argument. Doesn't fly, Mommie Dearest. I want to say "most", but instead will say "many" conservatives would allow for abortion in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother. "Back alley abortions" account for only 200 at most each year, as opposed to the nearly million legal abortions. It's estimated that there have been well over 50 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. That's a staggering number, but what I find sickening is how abortion is celebrated as a woman's right to choose, yet nothing is mentioned about the unborn's right to life, their civil rights being terminated along with the pregnancy. Of course, since the baby is "only a lump of tissue", then they have no rights, right?
All that said, it's the law but there's also nothing illegal about people being against the practice. (unless the only opinion that counts is yours and those like-minded, huh?) There is a need for regulation, though, because it is a medical procedure, after all. Even a transgender person is required to have counseling before surgery.
No, let's extend that time to at least a year after birth. That way you Progressives can get rid of the mentally challenged, the crippled, the wrong sex, the ones that are unattractive...just name the defect, and terminate it and the "host" that carries it. A financial burden? Throw it in the trash. Ruin your figure? Abort the "lump". Simply can't be bothered? Throw the baby out with the bathwater! We all know that's what you Progressives want, what your leftist heroes of the past did. THAT'S the "side of the spectrum" that has no concern for human life.
Not long ago I read an article that called for climate change deniers to be killed. That's the Progressive way, right? How many did Stalin and Mao, other leftists, murder only because they dared to speak out? Do the research on THAT and get back to me about "which spectrum" values human life more.
Elect a Leftist, or even a centrist like Sanders and you'd get very different results.
Sanders, a centrist? Bwwaaaaa!
The most extreme cases of political correctness are in the right, not the left
Did I spell "Bwwaaaa!" correctly above? That comes close to the most idiotic thing you've ever said, not to mention the biggest whopper.
Davy Crockett existed, the hat did not at the time. Also him and a few others were captured alive and executed.
Oops, your beloved Wiki says otherwise: Coonskin cap I won't post the information, but I want you to read it with your own lyin' eyes. Needless to say, the cap existed long before The Battle of the Alamo.
(I know a little bit about coons because my pop used to hunt them when I was just a little guy. He must have started feeling guilty about it because later when I was a young man, he'd bring home abandoned raccoon kits and we'd raise them. One used to love to ride on his shoulder while he drove around checking his leases. Here's a short lesson in coon anatomy, just to lighten up this post a bit)
I see that you're choosing to believe the Billy Bob Thornton movie version instead of The Duke's. Fine by me, but it serves as proof you prefer to get your history from Hollywood movies instead of books. Once again, from Wiki: Davy Crockett "All that is certain (my emphasis) about the fate of David Crockett is that he died fighting at the Alamo on the morning of March 6, 1836, at age 49."
Being a Texan and lover of history, I already knew that the Billy Bob movie version ending came from a Mexican officer's journal, a man named la Peña. Due to the fact that no other manuscript has ever been uncovered corroborating la Peña's account, it's not been accepted as anything close to being factual and most historical scholars think it a hoax. If you'll read the Wiki article, you'll see that Alamo survivors of the battle stated something altogether differently in regards to how Crockett died.
I bet you get your "facts" about climate change from An Inconvenient Truth, your "facts" about the Kennedy assassination from Oliver Stone's JFK and your "facts" about the Vietnam War from Apocalypse Now. Am I right or am I right? Hooray for Hollywood, passing lies off as truth, glorifying the worst of our culture (and contributing to its decline), ridiculing any other opinions but their own...warping idiot's minds for a century!
Oh please, pretty please bring up Gasland and how hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is bad. I'll blow you out of the not-burning water with FACTS, Jack. On second thought, never mind; I'm sure you'll attempt to use "facts" that are anything but. I've spent more than enough time on exposing you as it is.
Anyway...you damyankees need to tend to your own history books, leave ours alone. Sure, we Texans like our historical heroic myths and sometimes our text books contain the wrong information, but sweep around your own door first.
Live off welfare like 90% of Southern Republicans
and this one:
70% of the 47% are elderly and Republicans in the conferacy.[sic] You old Southern Reps are the laziest and most ignorant leeches in the world.
I've done a LOT of reading about the meme that "Blue states support Red states". First of all, the 90% figure needs to be flushed down the toilet, just like many other of your "facts". The "Blue vs. Red" division needs to be stabbed in the heart, because it's not only more complicated than that, it's also a lie.
If you ever take the time to look at red/blue spots by voting demographics, you'll see that the U.S. is more "purple" than simply red or blue. Makes sense if you look at how the last several presidential elections went, but then again, if you'll look closer, you'll see that many states that voted for the Democrat presidential candidate have a majority of Republicans in their state houses as well as represented in Congress and vice versa in others. Others, not all.
So, saying a state is either red or blue depends upon how they voted in the last Presidential election is a case of mislabeling. Except for blue states such as NY and Mass., several others in the northeast and on the west coast, some so-called red states like Florida have flipped back and forth.
Then too, just like any other analysis of statistics, one must "drill down" and consider other numbers and variables. For instance, Texas is a "red state", right? Well, look at some of the largest population density regions, such as the Valley and Houston, etc. They're solidly "Blue" and other large Texas cities are "light Blue". Large urban centers vote Democrat, that's a fact. Consider New Orleans in Louisiana, Atlanta in Georgia, other huge cities in red states. They vote Democrat. Again, that's a fact, look it up.
A Pew study and poll showed Democrats were responsible for 60+% of the benefits taken. I've seen other articles claim the figure is closer to 80% in some categories. Consider the huge numbers of Democrats in those urban centers, it's obvious that it's not Southern Republicans taking the welfare, it's that they are supporting the Democrat voters - the "leeches" - in their states.
I'm sure you'll try to come back with social security figures or how much each state gets in Federal dollars vs. what they pay back, etc., but that argument is often made by misleading statistics or over-simplifying them or not accounting that - for example - that many "red" states have more military bases (pork projects from past Democratic Representatives) and that "red" states like Florida and Arizona have a larger than average elderly population using their PAID FOR benefits like SSI and Medicare. Add in Federal land in "red" states that have a big influx of federal dollars (many Western states) and even that equation changes which would prove you even more wrong.
The US has no gun control laws
You mean I can go buy a machine gun? Wow, I always thought I had to have an expensive Federal license, be investigated, pay a yearly fee, be subject to visits by the ATF to make sure I still have possession of the weapon and all that!
If that's the case, I want a Thompson (Tommy gun) , you 'n me can be just like Bonny and Clyde (I'll be Clyde, of course). No, scratch that, I want a 50-caliber to go hunting with, we got some big jackrabbits here in Texas. No, no, I want one of those Warthog 30mm Gatling guns to mount on top of my house so I can shoot the speeders as they whiz by.
Biggest lie you've told and that's saying' sumpthin'. Of COURSE we have gun control laws. Did you type that with a straight face or was it intended to be a lie, Mr. Goebbels?
Yeah, let's ban guns, bans worked so well during Prohibition and with our current drug laws.
I hope you're the one who comes to take my few firearms away. Just be warned that I'll give you the ammunition first, very quickly...a little faster than the speed of sound, in fact.
If you want to take away my Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, then you're a traitor and need to have your citizenship terminated...with "extreme prejudice".
Bernie is a moderate centrist who flip flops between the center-left and center-right.
No, he's not a "moderate centrist". If he were, he'd be a middle-of-the-road Republican, a RINO or at best, a conservative Democrat (a rare bird, the numbers of which would rival those of the passenger pigeon.) He says he's a Democratic Socialist, just using a word like "Democratic" trying to disguise his true affiliation - Communist. He ran as an Independent to further disguise his true ideology. He aligned himself with the Democrats only for relevancy...but that the Democrats allowed him to run on their ticket speaks volumes about THEIR true ideology.
(and let's get something else straight; while "Progressive", "Socialist", "Communist" and "Marxist" DO all have different definitions, their desired end results are all exactly the same - a totalitarian regime.)
Granted, he struck a chord with the younger generation, but his supporters were mostly a thankfully small percentage of the newest voting generation, the narcissistic, self-absorbed whiners. Like you.
Taxes are absurdly low, we need real increases
No, they're not and no we don't. We need to cut spending. Anyone who has ever budgeted for a household or business could attest to that. It's only the leeches and "gimme" crowd that think that. Like you think.
The over 35 crowd have had everything handed to them on a silver platter
Yeah, those darn Boomers! I'm a Boomer, but I never had a silver platter or anything handed to me on one. I DO know a few folks who fit that description, but that's true of any generation.
Add "Ageist" to your growing list of bigoted beliefs.
Seriously, sounds like your generation actually believed Harry Potter and that all the problems can be solved by a simple flick of the wand. Thank goodness it's not, because you pouting pusillanimous punks would be screaming "Avada Kedavra" at everyone with white hair or wrinkles. How 'bout instead of whining on message boards, you go actually DO something to change the world? Oh, I forget, that would require work and participation and actual interaction with others on a personal and REAL level, not moaning about it online or having to look up from your cell phones. Like you do.
There's a reason no one lives in no tax places like Wyoming and South Dakota.
From Wiki: Wyoming Population: 2015 (est) 586,107 I see, a half-million+ people is "no one". You think so few people live there because of no corporate tax or personal income tax and NOT because of the cold-as-hell winters? I'd say the fact that the U.S. govt. owns nearly half of Wyoming has something to do with it as well.
From Wiki: South Dakota Population 2015 (est) 858,469 Where exactly is the cut off that defines "no one"? According to you, it's not rural flight but because they're mostly Republican voting states and not nearly Socialist enough. Have I interpreted your insinuation correctly? Of course, both of those states are largely agricultural based without a lot of heavy industry, so they're not going to have a huge GDP OR population.
California has a surplus and a stable budget as a result of raising taxes on the rich.
Sorry, but this is from Breitbart, which I know you despise as a source, but they also post links to their information cited...just like Wikipedia, which you claim to be a reputable cite. (not saying it is or isn't, just that if you want us to accept Wiki, then you need to accept Breitbart or admit that you're the hypocrite most of the rest of us already realize.)
California Budget in Deficit as Silicon Valley Falters From the site: "The bipartisan Legislative Analysts’ Office has announced that California’s 2015-16 personal income tax collection has fallen from a huge surplus to a $147 million deficit. The cause appears to be plummeting Silicon Valley capital gains and weakening tech employment."
Also, note the date of the article - Feb. 5th of this yr. YOUR assertion of "facts" was made on July 8th. So, what's your excuse? You had your head buried in the sand for five months, or didn't want to bring it up because it wouldn't fit your narrative? Personally, I think it's because you're a habitual liar. Using your reasoning on other matters, I'd have to say ALL Socialists are liars. To top that off, you went on with this:
Meanwhile states like Kansas and Louisiana which cut taxes on the rich dramatically are economic wasteland
Kansas "The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that the total GDP in 2008 was $122.7 billion, making it the United States's 32nd highest state by GDP." Hmmm. While it ranks in the bottom half of states in GDP, it's also a largely agricultural state and has also suffered from rural flight. It's also 34th in population, so being 32nd in GDP isn't all that bad with that considered.
The state is ranked #8 in both oil and gas production, but prices are down and that's certainly not helping the economics of that state. My own royalties have been horrible lately. Yep, a Texan who owns (part of) several gas wells...in Oklahoma, bless that brilliantly red state, so glad it's such a great neighbor! I wish OU wouldn't kick UT's butt so often in football, but I still love the state.
Louisiana 25th in population, 24th in GDP. Smack dab in the middle of all the states isn't exactly what I'd call an "economic wasteland".
Only a stupid person responds with ad hominum [sic] attacks rather then accept facts.
This one made me laugh...well "snicker", actually. You've done a fair amount of mud-slinging, against Republicans, Conservatives (and the two aren't mutually inclusive, you should know), Christians, southern states, etc. Pot, meet kettle. You could call it "blow back" for years of abuse of Conservatives. We now realize insults hurt you thin-skinned progressives. You can dish it out, but you can't take it.
Everyone pays for a service and that service provides it free of charge to everyone.
THIS one makes me shake my head and think "Did he really just say that?" If someone has to pay for a service, then how is it free? Honestly, do you really THINK before you type this stuff out? This is what I'd expect to find on a used wad of toilet paper, not coming from the brain of an "educated" "intellectual", self-admitted Socialist. Maybe what's on that TP is what you have for brains?
The minimum wage of a server is $2.15
Another "fact" that happens to be wrong: Tipped wage in the United States "The American federal government requires a wage of at least $2.13 per hour be paid to employees that receive at least $30 per month in tips. If wages and tips do not equal the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour during any pay period, the employer is required to increase cash wages to compensate. As of May 2012, the average hourly wage – including tips – for a restaurant employee in the United States that received tip income was $11.82."
Not off by much, only a couple of pennies, but that two cents represents the value of the "facts" you claim. I noticed you didn't bring up the compensation that's mandated by law.
Besides all that, it's always someone of YOUR generation who is a server or preparer who thinks it's fine to spit in someone's food, be it a poor tipper or someone of a different race or a cop or a soldier. Yep, you guys need to be rewarded for that, for sure....with a whack of a bat across the mouth, let you spit out a few teeth instead of phlegm on someone's burger. Too violent? OK, then...let's go around to any pool hall and empty the spittoons around all the domino tables, fill up a five gallon bucket and shove the spitter's head in it. Do it a few times until they got the message that when you do something nasty as spitting in someone's food, then something nasty happens to the offender.
You don't want me to get started on what I'd do to taggers and graffitti "artists".
The Christian Taliban wants only the wealthy elite to go to college
What nonsense! "Christian Taliban" is an oxymoron. It's a pseudo hate phrase created by anti-Christian bigoted leftists and so-called "tolerant liberals". It's akin to saying "a carnivorous vegetarian" and is a sophomoric insult (Ironically, "sophomore" is thought to have derived from the Greek for "wise fool", another oxymoron, although in your case it's quite apt)
To state this clearer: There's no such thing. This. Doesn't. Exist.
(Disclaimer: Those aren't my words; I saw them when I Googled the term, but liked them so much I decided to include them)
He's not the one who believes that a bearded sky fairy controls our lives and that fatal cancer in children is a sign that this sky fairy is good and we need to worship said monster.
While I certainly wouldn't argue against that some Christians are full of hate, IMHO they're really not Christians, not by deed or definition. Lumping them all together, however, is stereotyping and that in itself is a form of bigotry. While anecdotes and personal observations can't qualify as "facts", why is it the most hateful and unhinged people that I see posting in forums and message boards are atheists?
Honestly, why does a monument with the Ten Commandments on the courthouse lawn send you atheists into apoplectic fits? Like it or not, they were a basis for American law and should be taken into historical significance if for no other reason.
Me? I'm an "optimistic agnostic", so I don't really have a dog in the fight except that some of my dearest friends are Christians and I won't stand for them to be slandered. They're all flawed humans, just like the rest of us (you included...especially you), but it is their QUEST for perfection, their attempt to walk in Jesus' footsteps that makes them Christians. None I've ever known revel in others misfortunes and if they did, they wouldn't be Christians OR my friends.
While they might turn the other cheek if you insulted them, if I was there when you said it I'd snatch you up by your hair and try my best to break your nose. (and I'm fairly certain I could do it even though I bet I have four decades on you in age.) That wouldn't be warm rain falling on your face as you lay there stunned afterwards, either. Being pretty much of a heathen, I won't have to ask forgiveness from either you OR the "bearded sky fairy". I'll just need bail money, that's all. (that is, if you press charges, pretty much what wussies do after they get their butts kicked)
82% of the 47% are either old or are poor people in the red southern states that Trump won by massive margins, facts can't be disputed
There's not even any need to attempt to rebut this because, like most of your "facts", you pulled this out of your anal orifice. I not only disputed your "facts" up above, I destroyed them.
MSNBC is for center-right moderate conservatives like Obama or Hillary.
I'm pretty sure Socialists and sane people don't use the same dictionary and I'm not sure we even live on the same planet. Good grief. Apparently according to you anyone who is a fraction of an inch to the right of Mao is "center-right".
The Obama economy is far better than either Bush economy or the Reagan economy this time in their terms
Uh, not exactly true- the charts I saw showed "Obama's economy" to be below Reagan's and only slightly better than Bush's at the same point in time. Other than public confidence in the Administration, the Federal Reserve has much more impact. Some presidential policies can take years before seeing an effect and good or bad, the person in the Oval Office down the road gets credit...or the blame.
Presidents, just like football coaches, can make a blunder and lose the game, or call a great play and win. Like a coach's ball team, though, there are more players involved in the game, ditto for those in the game of politics. Just like a coach, a President often gets the blame for things out of his control and often takes the credit for things others did.
You might want to take a look at the majorities in the House of Representatives during both good and bad economic times. They are, after all, the branch with the authority to initiate tax increases or spending proposals. It might surprise you (IOW, not fit your narrative) and at the very least it would verify there's more than enough blame to go around.
The top tax rate in the 1950's was 90%. If only we could have real politicians advocating reasonable rates like that
Fewer millionaires and billionaires back then, too. I hope a LOT of Democrat politicians (and a goodly number of Republicans) take up that cause. It would be lovely to watch their political careers come to a screeching halt. They'd self-term limit.
...a polygraph .... is so ineffective and prone to error that it isn't admissible in court.
Polygraph tests are admissible in certain states and in federal court at the discretion of the trial judge. States like California, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Florida allow the tests if everyone stipulates to their use and agrees to admit the results into evidence.
Michigan voters elected and re-elected a dictator that intentionally poisoned an entire city.
Definition of a dictator: a ruler who wields absolute authority. If Snyder was a dictator, then why did he even need to run for office? Another one of your totally absurd statements.
From Wiki: Flint water crisis "Governor Snyder issued an apology to citizens and promised to fix the problem, and then sent $28 million to Flint for supplies, medical care and infrastructure upgrades, and later budgeted an additional $30 million to Flint that will give water bill credits of 65% for residents and 20% for businesses. Another $165 million for lead pipe replacements and water bill reimbursements was approved by Governor Snyder on June 29, 2016."
I'd like to know how he planned to poison only those voters who voted against him and not the ones who did. I guess if he was a dictator like your idol Stalin, killing millions in order to weed out the few who opposed him would be the thing to do.
Honestly, your hyperbole is ludicrous. I've told you a hundred million billion times to not exaggerate!
This being the south, they will most likely only ask the welfare office about black winners while they will give white winners the money no questions asked.
"Most likely". I see what you did there, added an "out" in opinion form. There's no rebuttal to that, but neither is there any truth. It's just a hateful, bigoted thing to say...but why am I not surprised since it comes from you? All the hate you aim towards others is merely projection on your part. It's easy to see you're a self-loathing, white-guilt infested bigoted liar...and a Commie wannabe, to boot. You think that if America is transformed into your Socialist dream world, YOU'LL be one of the privileged few, ruling the plebes and instead of having a dacha on the Black Sea like the Soviet elite, yours will be in the Catskills.
So, I'd say "Shame on you!" for lying, but I hate that phrase, it's something the Democrats love to fling at Republicans. You really need to slink on out of here, have Todd delete your account because I HAVE just shamed you in front of God (or that "bearded sky fairy", whichever you prefer) and everyone. I've exposed you for the liar you are. We'll see now if you apologize for your lies or continue on with them.
There's one more Progressive lie that needs to be addressed: It's not that Conservatives dislike higher education, nothing could be farther from the truth, but rather that Progressives have disdain for blue collar workers, the ones who actually produce goods and build things by the sweat of their brows. Well, those workers who are Conservative, anyway.
Then again, Judge Smails would have given you some FREE advice:

Thanks Mike, you are awesome!
Wow !!! You certainly had a lot to say !!! This is the longest post I've ever read !!!
Yes, I am, aren't I?
I only wish I had been born rich instead of handsome.
I'm also exceedingly humble.
Well, there were a LOT of lies to address.
Thanks for reading it.
Excellent post. Thank you humble man.
Too long to addres everything but i will point out three things
Davy Crockett- I raise the white flag. That was an overstepping beyond what i know.
Christian Taliban - http://www.wral.com/proposal-supports-state-religion-in-north-carolina/12296876/
No one lives in Wyoming or South Dakota - I forgot what exactly i was replying to but i wasn't in any way trying to demean these states like you're proposing. I'll look and see the context for why i said it.
"That was an overstepping beyond what i know."
That pretty much describes EVERYTHING you opine upon. The trouble with your posts is that you give an opinion and expect everyone to support it as fact...and the "facts " you pull out of thin air (or out of that smelly place I mentioned in my "too long" post) are anything but facts.
Typical of your stereotyping, you take ONE proposal in ONE state and ascribe it to every other state..well, "red" states, anyway. It's easy to see your "context".
Face it, you were wrong on every point I brought up, esp. in regards to your "facts".
Great post!
Hey genius...Its "then" not "than". Yea you're an engineer...Sure.
Face it Kingofearth...Mike schooled you.
Mike is the king of real research.
Even in the past 10 years, the change is unreal. I used to love the Big Brother tv show and it had a diversity of people and ages. I stopped watching it since it became all young jerks with no moral values.
Thanks, Artist!
Did you know that 83.2% of all leftists are pedophiles? That number goes up to 97.9% when they're leftists of college age who live in New York state.
I don't have a link for that, but I'm sure I can find some dicey website that has those figures and passes them off as factual.
Thanks, Emily!
Of course, it's better to be a humble man than a knuckle dragging Neanderthal like the leftists think Conservative men are, huh?
Well, it took a few hours to dig through KingofDerp's posts, then another couple of hours to look up actual statistics and another hour or so and a few re-writes to polish off my rebuttal, but it's always fulfilling to assist a special needs child.
Lol lol
Dang, Mike, that was impressive.
Awesome post!
After reading your entire post, I am left speechless but do want to thank you for all your research on debunking these clueless lefties. Very well laid out!
Mike- All I can say is WOW! You put an awful lot of time and effort into your response and I want to praise you for that! I have neither the time or patience to construct a rebuttal to such nonsense that is being displayed by some of these leftist individuals.
Props to you Mike!
King, big of you to back step a bit and consider you may have slipped up on some points.
Your post here shows some humility. I like sully, you've been hard on her but sully stands up
very, very well for herself and that's part of why I like her, besides, she's always been nice to
me. Don't squelch yourself, it's a discussion forum. Everyone has a different opinion, I don't
agree with you on some things but you know how you feel and just like everyone else, have
the option of posting what you think. Maybe you'll come around just in time to cast your vote
for Trump...or make a mistake in the voting box You are hard to like sometimes, but
you're not totally gone yet...and even if your views are off-base, you have shown some intellect
in your responses, subject matter aside, you are not a dummy.
I point out that Bernie is a centrist, all you do is laugh
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/manifesto2015/ConservativeManifesto2015.pdf
The UK Conservative Party Platform is nearly identical to what Bernie has been talking about.
I call Bernie a centrist because America is more right wing than grown up countries like the UK but he's NOT left wing in any way shape or form.
Never called for banning of all guns, just have sensible regulations like Australia.
You say Christian Taliban don't exist
I show you proof that they do
You call it stereotyping
I know my politics are quite on the far end of the spectrum but that doesn't mean we can't get along. I joined LP because i want to get better as a lottery player, and while i'm happy to express my political views, we should all remember that we're here to get rich or die trying.
That wasn't proof, not by a long shot. That N.C. case was about two representatives who introduced a bill in response to an ACLU lawsuit that was trying to ban a prayer before the Rowan Co. commissioners meeting. Three other reps. signed on as co-sponsors for a total of five...out of 120 members of the General Assembly.
Stereotyping is to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. That's what you do all the time. You take five men, 4% of the state representatives, and not only paint the other 96% with the same bigoted brush, you do it to all Christians.
Admitting you're a bigot would be the first step towards curing that particular character flaw you have. We'll work on your pathological lying at a later date.
I laugh because the notion that Sanders is anything but a Communist is laughable.
"Sensible regulations like Australia"? You can't compare our Constitutional right to bear arms with Australia because they never had the same right.
"Grown up countries"? Get back to me on that when YOU grow up.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1 Corinthians 13:11
Even the Bible has hope for the likes of you, Derp.
27 pages and 3 months to go before the election. Any money says we'll hit 100 pages by then. I caught a story today about that uranium scientist executed by Iran. Could be a result of Hillary's unsecured emails. Its that's true...She will go to prison.
I have my moments, rcb. To be honest, it was low-hanging fruit.
Thank you!
You're most certainly welcome. I simply couldn't let the lies continue.
Mike,
Didn't we win a war against that "grown up" country? Didn't we save the "grown up" country and many others during WW 2?
Thanks, Drenick. Truth always defeats the forces of evil.
Hey Artist...I read your recent posts and read you're going to vote for Jill Stein. Did you know her stance on the military? She wants to cut the military budget by 30%. If that were to happen, its almost a guarantee, we'll be involved in a major war, maybe nuclear, in the very near future. There's only one reason we weren't attacked by now, its because we were strong. So what's more important? Being green or being dead?
Two wars, actually.
I'd agree with the second question up to a point. We can't forget the contributions of glorious Mother Russia, what with her sacrificing millions as cannon fodder for the German army, marching them unarmed into the teeth of the Nazi guns, using men to clear mine fields by forcing them at bayonet to lead the charge. Of course, that's the Socialist side of the spectrum that has such respect for human life.
I would bet against that being the case. I believe Ms. Artist is a Trump supporter. I think Derp has come out for the Green Party, maybe it was in a reply to him where you saw that.
Thank you. He is confusing me with Derp? Omg. Lol Being rather green in my lifestyle and being a vegetarian, does not equate with Jill Stein. I don't discourage voting for Stein however if you are on the fence since those votes tend to come from Hillary's side.
And Greenbay, I live and work in the city that will likely get nuked first. I have had more dreams on this than you will ever know. We are almost out of time.
Trump 2016
https://youtu.be/c9kI_rAFuKA?t=114
Southern Republicans are the biggest leeches in the world.
You support a Nationalist fascist (Nationalist Fascism isn't nazism, two very different things) and you have the nerve to call left wing ideologies tolitarian? Communism explicitly advocates for a utopic fairy land that has no government at all, and you are so ignorant that you think that's tolitarian. Marxism advocates for workers to control the factories, the little opposite of a tolitarian overload (Boss) who controls everything. You try to act like you have the slightest idea about these concepts, but you don't. Marxism and Communism are fairy tales, just like pure capitalism. Youreally should change your usernsame to Somali pirate, because that;'s what you want America to look like.
Go over to Scandinavia or Britain or even Canada and Bernie would be a leading member of the right wing opposition. To call him anything but a centrist is an insult to those of us who are actually on the left side of the spectrum.
The US spends more on the military than the next 23 countries COMBINED. 30% cut sounds very good. US Defense spending was pretty high on 9/11, didn't really help with preventing an attack. After Sandy and the full on mental illness shown by the Republicans on the Sandy bill and the UN treaty http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/05/us/despite-doles-wish-gop-rejects-disabilities-treaty.html?_r=0
I will NEVER vote for a conservative irregardless of which color and letter is next to their name.
Someone has his panties in a bunch, yank them out of your A$$ and shut up!
"The US spends more on military than the next 23 countries COMBINED."
I have read some outlandish statements from you but this takes the cake. I am sorry to tell you this but you are beyond help.
http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/06/military-spending
Not quite 23 though.
Well, they have bigger ground to cover.
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/military-spending-cuts/u-s-military-spending-dwarfs-rest-world-n37461
I was basing the 23 nations numbers off early 2000's data when the US did the 2 wars so my mistake on that. It's still absurdly gigantic though.
So you folks have beat the snot outta King... Congrats.
BUT... Why Trump?
Facts please...
What's his plan other than hiring lots of smart "billionaires" to run our country?
Because Hillary is a lying deceitful person.
Hillary is just more of the same old, same old, politician.
It's time for real change. Not another politician, but someone who knows how to get things done, who can not be bought or controlled by anyone or "a party".
Electing Hillary is electing the same kind of politician, and expecting different results.
Insanity.
Bwwaaaaaa! YouTube video, really? A few people in one state and AGAIN you're tarring all the rest of the south with the same brush and AGAIN you're showing your bigotry.
You should change YOUR name to Derp the Twerp.
Just WHO do I support, Derp? I'm pretty sure I have never said, at least not in here. Maybe YOU should run for President; you'd fit right in.
Trump already gave a speech on national defense, I saw it and he made a lot of sense. Today he's giving a speech on the economy (I believe in Detroit). It will be broadcast live on rightside broadcasting. Go to youtube and type "rightside broadcasting", hit the link. They also have many of his past speeches.
Many people who are against Trump get all their news from the pro-democrat mainstream media. Listen to what he has to say.
Those numbers are from 2010. Obama for the last several years has been on a mission to decimate the US military while China and Russia have elevated their defense budget to record levels. The 2016 budget for our entire military is now just north of $500 billion (it was over $700 Billion before Obama).
Russia and China on the other hand have gone full steam ahead in their defense spending and are close to doubling what their budget was before Obama took office. A large amount of our defense funds goes toward NATO.
The United States still outspends every other nation but it may be closer to 5 or 6 combined nations and not 23.
Why do we need to spend more on the military? Because others are spending more on their military? I'm no expert on the military but there is only one from that list that could put up a fight with the United States. Russia
Wow, you just have no clue, Did you know Pakistan and India hate each other?
Did you know that both those countries together have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire Earth with Nuclear Winter?
Do you know North Korea is at this very moment trying to create a missile that can reach the US ?, the same with Iran?
Both those countries have real nut jobs in charge. We need our Military and we need people in this country to pay more attention to global affairs.
Right sully...And don't forget about an EMP blast over the US. That would totally devastate the US power grid for years and probably fry every electronic device in the US. That poster bigboar has no clue.
So we need to spend more on military because Pakistan and India hate each other? As far as North Korea, they have no missiles that can reach the USA, and they will not for a long time.
And if I'm not in error, North Korea is still trying to catch up with USA missile power.
The USA is already making EMP weapons, so why do we need to spend more on the military?
All true, but the way wars are fought has changed.
With drones and cyber offenses such as Stuxnet the military is going to reorganize its' expenses without necessarily being weaker.
Like I said, I'm no expert on military power, but I think the US will not let North Korea get close to their achievement. They will wake up one morning and their stuff will not be working, like IRAN.
You kidding? Bill Clinton already let North Korea develop nuclear weapons, just like obama gave Iran the ability to develop their nukes. Had enough of democrat Presidents yet? Dem's only care about one thing...Show me the money!
achievement = launch on the United States
When Trump's plan called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. "
Jeb Bush tweeted, "Donald Trump is unhinged. His "policy" proposals are not serious."
And Lindsey Graham added Trump "has gone from making absurd comments to being downright dangerous with his bombastic rhetoric." and "He’s putting at risk the lives of interpreters, American supporters, diplomats, & the troops in the region by making these bigoted comments"
I've heard that Trump has a plan to find and deport 11 million illegals, build a very high wall on the Mexico/US border, and make Mexico pay for it, but never saw the exact details of how it could be done. Trump want to lower our tax burden while increasing the size of our military so he can "take out" ISIS, ISIL, and maybe North Korea and Iran.
I'm sure he has excellent plans on how to do his magic act and his LP supporters probably have all the real details and will share them with you.
Where do you get a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the US? Are you nuts or just a liar? BTW, under Reagan, lowering taxes did boost the economy. Or is American history not your strong point?
Stack47, trump stated, "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. "
but he has pulled back on that recently, because he knows that he can't do that, plus he also knows that he needs the US muslim votes also.
The republicans are really worried about trump, they are still pulling away from him. Also, big donors are pulling away from him also, he does not have the money for attack ads for Hillary.
Trump is not going to deport 11 million illegals, or build a wall that Mexico will pay for, not going to happen. Lowering taxes for everyone is not realistic, how is he going to pay for that.
The trade stuff that trump talked about is a waste of time.
The only good thing that trump talked about was regulatory rules.
As far as taking out Isis, that is still going to be long term, they are not wearing isis uniforms with the words isis on it. This is why it is so difficult to kill isis.
But it was mostly all talk!
50 G.O.P. Officials Warn Donald Trump Would Put Nation’s Security ‘at Risk’
Fifty of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”
Mr. Trump, the officials warn, “would be the most reckless president in American history.”
The letter says Mr. Trump would weaken the United States’ moral authority and questions his knowledge of and belief in the Constitution. It says he has “demonstrated repeatedly that he has little understanding” of the nation’s “vital national interests, its complex diplomatic challenges, its indispensable alliances and the democratic values” on which American policy should be based. And it laments that “Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself.”
“None of us will vote for Donald Trump,” the letter states, though it notes later that many Americans “have doubts about Hillary Clinton, as do many of us.”
"Former CIA Officer Evan McMullin Launches Independent Presidential Bid as an Alternative Candidate to Donald Trump"
"Evan McMullin, a former CIA counter-terrorism officer, will run for president as a third-party conservative alternative to Donald Trump. He is a former CIA agent and currently the Chief Policy Director for the House Republican Conference. McMullin has never held elective office, even though he has been working in the government since 1999. According to his LinkedIn page, McMullin joined the CIA as an operations officer in 1999 and stayed at the agency until 2010. He “managed clandestine operations related to counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, energy, political stability, and counterintelligence, while serving mostly in hostile environments. Aside from a three-year stint as an investment banking associate at Goldman Sachs, McMullin has been in government since joining the CIA. In 2013, he became a senior adviser to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. In 2015, he joined the Republican Conference as its Chief Policy Director. His job includes managing their domestic and foreign policy initiatives, focusing on foreign affairs, national security, technology, health care and other issues. "
"Evan McMullin is a Morman. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in International Law and Diplomacy from Brigham Young University and, later in his life, a Master's of Business Administration from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania."
"He also served as a Mormon missionary in Brazil and a Volunteer Refugee Resettlement Officer for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Jordan."
Information taken from several different News Sites on the Internet.
I think North Korea and Iran intended to develop Nuclear Weapons regardless of American Policy or position on the matter. These countries don't take their lead about what to do from the United States, which is why it is pointless to blame sitting US Presidents for the actions of other countries.
The U.S. has Nuclear Weapons as well, and will continue to develop Nuclear Weapons in secrecy, regardless of whatever "Front Face Charade" this country puts forward for the rest of the world to believe.
All Nations have the right to be reasonably armed to Defend their Country. This is just Common Sense.
LOL! 50 GOP Bush insiders? Those are the lifer establishment we're trying to get rid of. That's a good thing.
Actually you're wrong. As memory serves me correctly, the Clinton administration gave NK billions and cut sanctions against that country in return for a promise not to pursue nukes. Sanctions were working, just like they were working against Iran.
Another establishment GOP insider trying to gum up the works. Too little, too late. Anyone wonder why the establishment is so against Trump? Think about it.
Sanctions may have been working, but is it not reasonable to assume [given the type of Countries we're dealing with here], that both North Korea and Iran are still developing Nuclear Weapons in secrecy, regardless of sanctions.
North Korea and Iran CANNOT be TRUSTED !!!
The purpose of sanctions is for regime change. Almost worked in 2009 Iran when the people took to the streets. Unfortunately obama didn't support them. Surprise surprise.
Their lives are ALREADY in danger. Being a bigot is meaningless to our enemies. Bigotry, defined and used by
Lindsey Graham, is in a politically correct fashion without regard to real issues. Who is the fool? One who wants
to keep borders opened for anyone who wants to flood in? One who wants to allow foreigners in so their governments
remain friendly to our faces while stabbing us in the back? When we are so stuffed to the gills and overrun with outsiders
that our own people suffer and DIE something needs to give.
The situation has gone too far under current leadership. How many more bombings on foreign and home soil are
we supposed to endure due to shortcomings in a policy set in place that protects, encourages and gives rights to
outsiders? And how many more of our own citizens are supposed to suffer while we accommodate immigrants?
Either show terrorists we mean business by aggressive search and destroy and stop looking like cowards and puppets..
or pull out and leave them to themselves. They'll always have someone to direct their anger towards, let them kill
each other. US is spread too thin, busy trying to be a mighty power worldwide. We should be the mightiest power
right here on our own ground. And if that means keeping terrorists or foreigners meant to spread terror out, so be it.
I wouldn't mind being called prejudiced at all in the name of self preservation. The great melting pot needed to be
overturned a long, long time ago. Our seemingly softhearted, underhanded government makes it easy for us to
be targeted.
What would any of you do or think if one of your family members were killed by terrorists? I'd want them hunted
down and annihilated. Not just the leader but as many mindless followers along with him as possible. They are over
at US bases hiding in caves like the monsters they are shooting at service members everyday. Driving bombs to
checkpoints and base entrances...you don't hear about that much today, but it's happening. People are dying over
there and for what? Service to a government that doesn't care about them? VA benefits and facilities are a joke and
our Commander in Chief has the gall to display heartfelt thankfulness faked in a speech he didn't even write. Just
keep manning those bases and die trying.
Keep the terrorists out, keep the illegal immigrants out, if that preserves our country, I'm for it. If allowed in and it
means scrutinizing Middle Eastern immigrants, they shouldn't be offended, they should be honored to enter a country
(when they clear) that holds the safety and future of its citizens dear to its heart and fights for their own protection
with all its might. We need 'Proud to be an American' to mean something again.
Amen
I am with you all the way
I was quoting Trump and what Bush and Graham remarked about it, Cheesehead.
"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population ."
"Where do you get a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the US?"
If you don't believe quotes, here is the actual video. Bet you'll still pretend he never said it.
"BTW, under Reagan, lowering taxes did boost the economy. Or is American history not your strong point? "
I know enough history to know George H.W. (read my lips) Bush had to raise taxes right after Reagan left office. You're 0 for 2; have anything intelligent to say?
"but he has pulled back on that recently "
That's a must because he makes promises that are impossible to do. I saw a poll today where 14% of Utah voters will write in Romney's name and that was before Evan McMullin announced his candidacy.
"As far as taking out Isis, that is still going to be long term, they are not wearing isis uniforms with the words isis on it."
It would be like taking on the Viet Cong and everybody but apparently Trump and knows how that turned out.
"What would any of you do or think if one of your family members were killed by terrorists? I'd want them hunted down and annihilated."
Do you understand what "suicide bomber" means?
And because of that, it's almost impossible to find accomplices. That being said, I agree something has to be done and if Trump, Bush, or Graham has the answer, why are they waiting to tell us?
"We need 'Proud to be an American' to mean something again."
The last time I looked most Americans are proud; weren't you proud when they played our National Anthem 5 times during the Olympics?
Seriously with all the high ranking Republican defections, do you really believe Trump has a chance?
Yes I do have something intelligent to say hillbilly. Other than small minded people like you, who gives a rip what Trump said? Hillary is a corrupt liar. I guess, in your world, what people say off the cuff is worse than what people do huh? Cut and paste all the BS you want. The choice is clear.
Hey genius...Trump already said he's not going to give ISIS any information. What do you expect him to say that he hasn't already said? You want him to tell the enemy everything we're going to do before we do it like obama does? BTW, the father of the Orlando terrorist, Seddique Mateen, was spotted at a Hillary rally in Kissimmee, Florida. You know, the guy who supports the taliban (a terrorist organization). When asked why he was there, he stated his support for Hillary. LOL! Guess we know who's going to be tougher on the terrorists huh?
I understand what suicide bomber means - An individual in most cases. I see where you're going with this.
One suicide bomber, how do you find the affiliation when one acts alone? It's there.
They were his/her support system for years.
S/he was filled with hatred for Americans from an early age and brainwashed against the 'infidels'. Brain-
washing is too strong word for some of them because what a lot of them believe is they have to take
out as many of us as they can and it's a great honor to do so. They believe they're rewarded for what the
religious among us believe: thou shalt not kill.
The US knows far more than what they lead us to believe. They are capable of putting a real hurt on the
groups that prime individuals and groups to do their dirty work. Various political reasons prevent them from
acting on what they know. I'd like an answer to why things aren't being done too but suspect it's primarily
due to weighing one bad outcome against the other and deciding which gives us the best footing.
Pride in the idea of being an American is there but our country's leaders shame us on a lot of levels. I think
the overall feeling Americans hold is that this country is great but the way its run is laughable. I don't feel
the USA is what it once was or what it can be. I'm not happy about what goes on in America..its homeless,
out of work, poor and disadvantaged. I'm comfortable on an individual level but want to be that and proud
on a national one. Until we take care of our own first I can't agree with being proud of the National Anthem
being played at an event, the New Colossus or anything at all that was once viewed as part of the definition
of being a great country. Pride for me will be restored when our own citizens are placed first above other
nations tired, poor and huddled masses. We have enough of our own and if anyone rejects the idea of
replacing outsiders with 'insiders', they need to be deported.
Childish name calling won't change what Trump said, regardless of whatever methods you use to pretend he never said it.
"Trump already said he's not going to give ISIS any information. "
Trump has no valid information to give to ISIS, ISIL, or Trump U. students. Similar to the nothing you added to playing lottery games.
"BTW, the father of the Orlando terrorist, Seddique Mateen, was spotted at a Hillary rally in Kissimmee, Florida."
Besides the fact you gave no proof it actually happened, it's no different than somebody spotting him or John Hinckley's grandma at McDonalds.
"Guess we know who's going to be tougher on the terrorists huh? "
Looks like you missed where Mateen was killed by police. What exactly is Trump's plan on being tough on dead terrorist?
You really aren't making any sense. BTW, the photo of Seddique is all over the internet. He was seated right behind that fraud Hillary. LOL
Sounds like a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Yes we are trying to get rid of them.
The establishment on both sides of the isle need to go away for good. That's why they hate Trump and why they hated Sanders. Both these men threaten their corrupt livelihood.
"One suicide bomber, how do you find the affiliation when one acts alone? It's there.
They were his/her support system for years."
We'll probably never know for sure the money and support behind the 911 attacks, but Hussein, bin Laden, and Gaddafi won't be supporting any future attacks. The problem then was nobody in the U.S. thought terrorists could take over planes and then fly them into buildings. Six years earlier nobody thought someone would park a truck full of explosives near a federal building either. And who would have thought two brothers would place an explosives near the Boston Marathon finish line?
You obviously see a different American than I do and I believe the big difference is I"m willing to let future generations decide their America and not suggest they return to what we believe might be a better America.

Watching a bunch of state legislators (mine included) wasting time on creating bathroom laws isn't exactly ground breaking legislation either. The problems you described existed for 40 years. If you can't find any reasons now to be proud of America, you'll probably never find any.
You called me a liar when I quoted Trump and obviously ignored the video link where Trump said it.
You don't even know what "the pot calling the kettle black" means and probably your reason for arguing facts and the juvenile name calling.
For fun I have bet a euro on Donald Trump. The payout was better.
I guess facts are hard to find...
liveingreenbay... I have listened.
I don't blame ya, esp. if the odds were good.
One word of advice: don't ever bet on the Cowboys, even if you're getting points. I lost a whole pay check on Super Bowl XIII, taking Dallas + 3. I'm glad I had a charge acct. at both the grocery store and gas station.
Hey Stack...What do you think it means? I make perfect sense, you don't.
Jethro where are you? Waiting for a reply. Newsflash... Newly released emails though FOIA requests prove Hillary is guilty of pay-for-play. Hillary Clinton via Clinton Foundation accepted money for political favors. How do you feel about Russia getting 20% of United States uranium reserves so Bill Clinton can make half a million dollars a speech for several speeches?
The media isn't reporting it. Their only agenda is to keep bashing Trump.
Hmm..but they are reporting on the man that tried to scale Trump Tower with giant suction cups.
I hate my aol email. Stories do nothing but trash Trump.
What are the first three letters in NEWs? We already know that she's a power hungry and money hungry selfish person, and a guy climbing Trump Towers is certainly new and interesting.
Don't You Know Better Than Betting On Romo In Crunch Time?
Is It December Already?
Sooner Or Later He Will Not Be Able To Play.
I Don't Even Know Who Their Backup Is.
This Is A Yearly Problem.
Why Don't You Switch To Another Provider?(gmail,yahoo)
There Are More Than Enough To Choose From.
Roger Staubach was the Dallas QB of SB XIII. Tony Romo wasn't even born yet. Romo has more 4th quarter comebacks than any other QB since 2006, although he's only one of 11 men on the field. He also has the highest passer rating in December, but yet again, he's just one of eleven. Of course "sooner or later he will not be able to play". Duh. You don't know who their backup is? It's either Prescott or Showers, although some analysts think Dallas will make a move after training camp cuts, pick up someone on the waiver wire and not have to give up a draft pick and/or a player in a trade. I don't see it happening, but....Yearly problem? It was a problem LAST year, that's it. It's a problem most other teams have when they lose their starting QB.
Seriously, you need to stick to giving your opinion on sports you "might" know something about, like curling or ice hockey...or tiddlywinks.
You also need to work on when to use capital letters.
Exactly...Prescott Or Showers???
I Am A Dallas Fan And..
I Love Romo But He Always Gets Hurt...
Dallas Cowboys playoff history
Thank God They Had Detroit To Play Last Year
"Always"? His collarbone injury last year (they rushed him back too soon from the first injury) caused him to miss most of the season, as did the same type of injury in 2010 which caused him to miss most of the season. Other than those, he hasn't missed all that many games, all things considered AND other QB's injuries considered. I don't have time to go look at the stats, but I think Romo has been more durable than Roethlisberger (although I could be wrong) in total games missed and if percentages are taken into consideration, more durable than RGIII, Michael Vick, Sam Bradford, Jake Locker and a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head.
I'm well aware of their lack of playoff success. I'm still a fan, though and have been for over a half-century. You don't sound like much of a fan, just another bandwagon whiner.
I checked the story again on CNN it's quite lengthy. They have the retail value of the suction cups listed at $280+
each. They must be bored with the current news items, they couldn't wait to go into great detail on this one.
Nothing more about Hillary than what she and Trump would do for their parents...
It is my original email and it is on too many business cards and websites....my artist career.
I know your pain. I have had my Yahoo email account since high school and pretty much most of my friends and acquaintances use that email.
And now we see Hillary Clinton using the State Dept. as a tool of the Clinton Foundation. How do you think she will "use" this country if elected?
The establishment republicans who are against Trump tells us all we need to know. This country would, once again, be sold to the highest bidder. There's no difference between both parties in DC. They want the criminal Hillary elected to keep our tax dollars flowing into their coffers. Trump is our only hope. Did you notice how the media have been attacking Trump non-stop for the last two weeks? The DC media aren't our friends.
Trump, release your tax returns! I don't mind change, repub or dem, but just not with trump. He's not smart enough to run the United States.
Oh look who's back. I thought you were in hibernation. Trump can't release his tax info until after his IRS audit is complete. BTW... Trump ran a billion dollar construction business for years. What did Hillary run besides a corrupt money laundering business called the Clinton Foundation? Give it a break man. LOL
That is incorrect, he can release his taxes, audit or not. Just because trump ran a construction company does not mean he can be the president of the United States.
I believe it was Ronald Reagan that released his taxes when in audit.
Its obvious you know nothing about business. On advice of his legal counsel, he can't. Did you vote for the community organizer? I bet you did huh? We all know how great that turned out. Trump is an executive who hires qualified people to advise him. That's what this country needs right now, a great manager. After all, the President is a manager. No single person can call all the shots. You agree?
Personally, I don't give a hoot about his tax returns. Hillary has been doing evil deeds for a long time under the guise of
just politics..she's crooked, evil and no good for this country. I can't believe people are charmed and/or fooled by her lies.
She'll buckle....let's hope it's before voters hit the polls.
Trump needs a lot of votes to win, he better release his taxes. Right now he's losing red states.
Yea, the latest email made public proves she sold favors for money through the clinton foundation. Where's the media on this? This is bigger than Watergate.
OMG... This is why I call you bigboar.
It was Nixon that released his taxes while in audit, not Reagan.
I don't like Trump, but Hillary is just plain evil. I'll go with the best chance to defeat her any day.
He can release it, he has just chosen not to.
Except the buckle part.
He is not being transparent by not releasing his taxes, or is trump hiding something?
There is no way of knowing if he is even being audited so it's all moot. But so what, because it's just like everything Trumps says or does; somebody will make silly excuses hoping the very gullible believe it. "He was just joking about the Second Amendment people", "he was just being sarcastic", "I'm not familiar with that American born judge with a Mexican name", or "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he wa captured. I like people who weren't captured.".
To get back on topic, if somebody want to bet a couple hundred or thousand on the results, the candidate with the easiest route to 270 should be the best bet. The last time I looked it's possible for Georgia and North Carolina to turn blue. Is Clinton behind in any state won by Obama in 2012?
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/291148-poll-clinton-trump-nearly-tied-in-iowa
Hillary is going to win all blue states and pick up some red states. Trump needs educated white votes, educated/non-educated black votes and educated/non-educated hispanic votes, which he does not have to win.
If he is, then we have 2 candidates who are...who is hiding more?
Thank You....
You hit the nail on the head dr65... well spoken..
AMEN!
"He's not smart enough to run the United States."
So you think the community organizing B.S. artist is doing a great job destroying the country? Trump is not a B.S. Clown like Obama, but he is a successful man of integrity who loves his country....something Obama couldn't care less about.
Very true. I might also add the only thing Hillary cares about is lining her pockets. Its already been proven (through emails) as Secretary of State she gave preferential treatment to people who gave millions to the Clinton Foundation. I believe that Russian uranium deal will be her downfall. Even the mainstream media won't be able to cover for her. She's a real slime ball.
Agree.
Hillary is bought and paid for and how can't anyone see where she'll take this country? Down the same sorry old
path of split decisions...one half what she thinks is right and the other half what her interests think is right.
Where are WE in all of this?
You know, people say Trump is crazy...Top dog Republicans are pulling their support for him they say...he can't
run this country others say...well watch his Michigan speech...and watch Hillary's DNC speech...she's all starry eyed
and filled with ego...Trump has ego alright...the right kind...the only kind that will put this country back on track.
Hillary NEEDS this..
Trump WANTS it..
there's a big difference here.
Educated voters want to see what kind of businessman trump is and does he pay taxes. Trump said he would lower taxes for everyone except the poor. So how is he going to pay for this? Trump needs to release his tax returns.
So what has President Obama destroyed in this country?
You're right. Obama promised change but instead ushered in far-right policies like Obamacare. His center-right conservatism is not the right course for the U.S.
What has obama destroyed in this country? Name it. Health insurance isn't destroyed yet but its heading in that direction, just wait until 2017 when the really repressive regulations hit. The military has been depleted and the energy sector has been hit by massive job killing regulations. Without cheap energy this economy will never recover. BTW this is the poorest economic recovery since the 1940's. That's a fact.
Oh and lets not forget...Tax returns, tax returns, tax returns... Blah blah blah. No one cares.
My own bet right now is that Clinton will win, it would be crazy for her not too, but as people are crazy, Who knows?
Everything you mentioned is true but lets not forget that he also fundamentally changed America for the worse. JFK put a man on the moon while Obama's proud achievement was putting a man in the ladies bathroom. Our GDP has grown at the worst rate since WW2 yet those who adore him think he is the Messiah.
His administration have been fudging the numbers on just about every job report only to come back a few months later to reconcile the figures. Racial division is at an all time high thanks to him and his administration endorsed Black lives matters. According to Obama the only lives that matter are Muslims and blacks everybody else can rot for all he cares.
Oh yes, you are an idiot!
LOL! In your world people who present facts are idiots but people like you who regurgitate media BS are intelligent?
The current polls show it might be a Clinton landslide, but I'm sure someone here will question the same polls that were accurate in last few elections.
I don't pay much attention to the polls, b/c the polls are usually NOT too accurate. They are only ever polling a Small percentage of the population anyway. People can change their minds at the last moment, especially in this Presidential race. The only results that count, are the votes that are cast on Election Day !!!
Amen. Well said.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Decision 2016? There u go, the two ZOG-controlled flunkies. Regardless of who wins, the same cabal is in control.
Don't play with them Danny.
Deo-nonfortuna... I disagree. Trump is his own man. That's why the republican "establishment" hates him as much as the democrats. Think about it.
The polls I'm talking about are usually taken to determine if there is a change in the electorate. For instance starting in 1992 California voted for the Democrat President candidate in every election and the latest California shows Clinton ahead by 16 points. Texas has voted for the Republican President candidate in every election starting in 1980 and the latest poll there shows Trump leading by 11 points.
Because of the past results and the latest polls, it's highly likely both states will vote the same in 2016 as they did in 2012. The Iowa polls showed Clinton ahead by 3 points a month ago, but down a point three days ago. With only 6 electoral votes, the effect is much less than the larger populated states.
"They are only ever polling a Small percentage of the population anyway."
It's not like some of the LP opinion polls with nothing to compare with. If the results showed a past poll was dead wrong, that poll won't be used again. The Current KY poll shows Trump winning by 13 and the LA polls show him winning by 16. Based on how each state voted in the last four presidential elections and the current polls, picking the winner is a no brainer. IMO, the polls are based on common sense; if a state voted for one party by large numbers in the past couple elections and the polls show the same that state should vote that way.
"The only results that count, are the votes that are cast on Election Day !!!"
Bet you missed the 2000 presidential election where 50,999,897 voted for Al Gore and 50,456,002 voted for George W. Bush. Do you really the polls in all 50 states are wrong?
If Al Gore had won, we would already be under Sharia law.
So, based on the polls, who do you anticipate will win the Election in November 2016 ???
Exactly.
I think it's great that the Repubs are afraid of him also. He is his own man, and he can't be bought, unlike Hitlery.
Trump will do what he thinks is right for the country. Hitlery will do what is best for her pocketbook.
To vote for Hitlery is to vote for the same establishment we've had for years. To vote for Trump is to vote for real change, not an establishment candidate.
To vote for Hitlery is to vote the same kind of candidate but expect different results. That's insanity.
As of today it looks like Clinton should win most of the states Obama won in 2008 and 2012 and the election. If it came to light that Clinton's campaign chairman was involved with corruption in Ukraine, things could drastically changed.
Mr Make everything Overseas doesn't give a crap about anybody or anything except his wallet. The main choices are 1) a very successful and wealthy greed filled center-right politician vs 2) a very successful and wealthy greed filled center-right politician. Simple as that. The only people who actually would push real change are third party candidates like Johnson and Stein.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Ever read this?
Lol Too funny. I and many others in this country have taken similar oaths. Are you naive enough to think when people take oaths, they never lie? You have provided my laugh for the day since I home sick. Lol
LOL! Ask obama if he ever read that. Ignoring current law passed by Congress isn't faithfully executing his duties as President. Immigration law is a biggie.
Trump down 30% from Hillary in his home state of New York. That's BAD!
How can Trump possibly win when the media whores are on a blitz/smear campaign against him?
He's right when he said the media is out to get him. Also Nixon and Billy Graham were right too about the media.
What media? Fox News, One America News? That is a sad excuse for trump losing his own red states. Trump is just not ready to be the president.
In reality, the USA is not ready for Hitlery to be president. And never will be if we want to keep the values that our founding fathers had.
And trump will keep your founding father's values? Release your taxes mr. Trump!
I agree. The networks have been on a continuous assault against Trump. CNN is the worst IMO. Trump needs to keep hitting the media for the Hillary supporters they are.
Does that include, Fox News, One America News and Fox Business news also?
Destroying the middle class is such a great idea, we are 8 years into a massive tax hike, hildabeast will raise it higher for the middle class, said so herself. Where will you be when the levy breaks ?
Donald Trump wrongly says Hillary Clinton wants to raise taxes on the middle class
Hillary Clinton just admitted to a big tax hike, at least according to Donald Trump.
The Trump campaign sent an email blast to supporters embedded with a video of a Clinton event in Omaha, Neb., entitled, "Hillary Clinton says she wants to ‘raise taxes on the middle class.’"
The subtitles of Clinton’s speech read: "Trump wants to cuts taxes for the super rich. Well, we’re not going there, my friends. I’m telling you right now, we’re going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class."
"Wait what?" the videos continues, before playing the <snip>ing sentence in slow motion: "We are going to raise taxes on the middle class."
"Wait, what?" was the reaction of the Clinton campaign too. Spokesman Josh Schwerin told us Clinton actually said the exact opposite.
He pointed to numerous reporters who agreed and forwarded us a transcript of Clinton’s prepared remarks that reads, "We aren’t going to raise taxes on the middle class."
It’s a classic case of she-heard-he-heard, so we asked experts to arbitrate. They agreed with the Clinton camp and offered some technical evidence to prove it. Get ready for some science.
Alan Yu, a linguistics professor at the University of Chicago who specializes in phonology, ran the audio through a computer program called Praat, which analyzes phonetics.
By analyzing the sound waves, we can see that Clinton was saying "aren’t," because she definitely pronounced the "n," though she didn’t really hit the "t."
Actually FOX news has been critical of Trump from time to time. Name a mainstream news network critical of Hillary on anything? CNN, NBC, CNBC, ABC or CBS?
Fox News, One America News and Fox Business news
Calling out your BS, She said " We are going to raise taxes on the middle class" no trickery involved, it's what she said.
I heard what she said, and it was a mistake.
Bottom line is there is not enough white people to vote trump into office.
She didn't say she was raising taxes on the rich, Trump never said he was giving tax breaks to the rich.
You can't see what a liar she is? A mistake? Obamacare 2017 is going to crush middle America, think real hard .
All she did was throw class envy at the masses, making people jealous of what other have, it was slight of hand and the dim wit seals went ort ! ort! ort!
Hillary is a proven liar. There's no way she can pay for all those freebies she promises without taxing the c r a p out of the middle-class. And don't repeat that BS about taxing the 1% more. LOL! Even if she confiscated all their wealth, it still wouldn't pay for the trillion plus dollars she wants to spend.
This is really beyond good taste.
Still, bottom line, is there is not enough white people to vote trump into office. Now he needs, blacks, hispanics and the muslim community.
That kind of mistake is what's known as a Freudian slip.
Oops!
She can make both sounds at the same time...cause she speaks with a forked tongue !
Their is Hillary and their is trump, my bernie is out. Trump is not going to get enough votes to win. If trump had knowledge of how to run the United States, released his taxes, and had some foreign policy knowledge, he might have a chance. Trump does not get it! How many times are they going to tell trump to stick to the message! How many times will someone have to explain what trump meant to say or was trying to say.
Lol lol So true!

How many times will someone have to explain what trump meant to say or was trying to say.
I'm certainly no Trump fan, but what he says doesn't bother me nearly as much as what Hillary has done.
The Electoral College goes state by state. the Republican party has systematically isolated itself into a handful of states and stubbornly refuses to make the necessary changes to be competitive in states that they really need.
black votes for trump, 2 %
hispanic votes for trump, 5%
muslim votes for trump, 10%
May-be if all white people voted for trump, may-be, but that is not going to happen.
The biggest thing for me is we need someone that is going to bring people together, and that is Hillary.
No , I have great health care, we work for it, you don't. You want ..
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! LAZY.
Yes, that is totally correct, Kingofearth. Also, Trump is not spending the money for massive nation wide tv ads.
You really think anything in this world is for free?
Everyone pays in, everyone gets what they need. Not this bull called "private insurance".
Your so full of it we need air freshener, you want Freeeeee, you want someone else to pay in for you.
I shouldn't have to pay for anyone's else's anything. PERIOD!
Romney won Whites by about 20 points
Vermont is 95% White
Romney won Vermont......
Obama won Blacks by 80 something points and Hispanics by 60 something points
Texas's Black and Hispanic populations are the majority in the state
Obama won Texas.........
The Reps need to appeal to Hispanic New Mexicans, Black North Carolinians, White Iowans, not some national numbers contest.
Trump is not doing that, he is pushing people apart.
Who paid for your childhood education?

Oh yes, i'm working my butt off trying to find a job (hopefully i get the one I'm trying for now) so i can have other people pay for me.
I don't think anyone wants anything free, the wealth in the USA does not trickle down. Company CEO makes the wrong decision from greed. Who pays for that decision, the workers (layoffs). HP is a very good example of that. People need a job with a living wage. And still today, HP is still today, HPis trying to buy other companies after letting go over 60,000 employees.
My parents, they are tax payers.
Trying to find a job, BS You spend your time on line goofing off, and guessing from your porno concerns, you spend a lot of time j$@$^^&&ing off.
I just don't get trump, he was behind Bush and Obama as far as pulling the troops out. Now he states after the fact, they should not have don't that. TOTAL FLIP-FLOPPER!
That's what happens when the middle class doesn't have the money to spend, if you don't like a CEO'S SALARY DON'T SUPPORT THAT COMPANY.
Some employees at HP didn't have that choice to just jump up and switch jobs. I know some software engineers at HP that were sent overseas to train other people at a company that HP bought. And when they returned home, they were let go about two or three weeks later. Those are the other jobs that should not be sent overseas.
Trump changes course on NATO now.
Bill raped multiple women and Hillary sold favors to foreigners as SOS. Yea, I'm worried about what Trump said about NATO. LOL
Hey King... Jill Stein is crazy. I have two points...
Number one... Jill Stein is a doctor and as such I'm sure she makes good money, can you tell us how much of HER money she donates to the poor?
Number two... Did you know she wants to prosecute oil company executives for lying about global warming? That's the nut job you want as President?
Trump, release your taxes! I bet trump has not paid any taxes for years. Get rid of tax loop holes for the rich. So, how do we pay for a better military? Mmmmm, off the backs of the middle class hard working people. Trump, release your taxes and no more tax loop holes for the rich.
You don't pay taxes, but you want to make sure someone else is? Weird.
Everyone pays in, everyone gets out what they need. Capitalism is like fire, it's good in certain very controlled situations. Socialism is like water, too much or too little and you're dead.

According to the U.S. census, 61.6% of the estimate 321,418,820 Americans are white, 17.6% are Hispanic/Latino, and 13.3% are black. Doing the really simple math, 42,748 703 Americans are black and 197,993,993 are white meaning the actual ratio is less than 5 to 1.

Where did you get that from that I don't pay taxes?

Dc said "The only results that count, are the votes that are cast on Election Day !!!" and I pointed out that Al Gore got more votes on election day.
"If Al Gore had won"
But he didn't so what's your point?
"we would already be under Sharia law."
I gave a link to the U.S. Constitution and had you read Article 5,
"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."
Meaning the President on his own can't repeal the First Amendment and place the country under Leviticus or Sharia law.
It's the same as the NRA promoting mass ignorance by suggesting any President could take our Second Amendment Rights. It takes 290 Representatives, 67 Senators and 38 states to repeal an Amendment.
Nobody should be surprised by this example of Constitutional illiteracy.
Nice source, forward progress.
Sharia law will come with the 'refugees; we let in that already want to kill us and hate our country.
Here's a news flash for you, they want you just as dead as they want the rest of us.

I'm not a fan of letting stone age barbarians into the country, but you really think no one would notice that happening?
The liberals (center-right) like Obama and Hillary think the stone age people will grow out of the nonsense they are taught.
America will never have an Islamic theocracy, but it's on a fast track to a Christian theocracy if we're not careful.
Another dummy who does not know we have a representational democracy. I did not bring up the AL Gore reference.
It's frugal to interject common sense into these progressive lefties, they preach the mainstream media and the radical democrats these organizations support.
They go through life with blinders on and won't realize what side swipes them until it's too late.
He along with all the other left wing cronies think that if we're nice to them while offering government freebies that they will love us. By the time they realize they were wrong, thousands of citizens will have fallen victim to these Jihads.
By the way, I spent a year studying constitutional law and have 2 bar licenses to show for it. People were stunned prohibition happened but it did. And restrictions could be placed on second amendment rights to render it essentially void.
Points taken Stack.
Except when Obama decided he didn't like parts of the Constitution and signs Executive Orders.
It's not wholesale changes that people need to worry about. Nobody is going to come in and just flush whole sections of the Constitution. It's little by little, over time. Allowing illegal immigrants, a ban on this kind of gun here, or there. Then one day we look up and wonder what happened.
Read the article in Breitbart by Milo. Brlliant. Trump out flanked Dems on gay rights, etc. I think Trump's plan is brilliant. The article sums things up wonderfully.
Drenicj1,
Good points on both posts.
There is this gem from Stack;
"Ronda Rousey could beat either of them."
Them meaning Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. If I remembe right he also said she'd never lose.
Milo “Gays for Trump” Yiannopoulos? Brilliant? I think not.
The article discussed rights of women as well. Broaden your horizons.
An article from someone who harasses women of color online would not broaden my horizon.
Just read the article and it made absolutely no mention of harassment towards any women.
I made no mention of him doing it in the article, he however routinely harasses people online, such as Leslie Jones.
Leslie Jones made repeated bigoted statements against whites. Bigotry works both ways.
yada yada yada yada, blah blah blah blah blah, Milo has no importance what so ever. Trump is going to lose! Trump is even losing his home state and that's bad.
Not sure about "that's bad", but even though I'm no political analyst or expert, I'd say it was "expected". Why do I say that? If Hillary was the exact same person but running as a Republican and Trump had a "D" after his name, he'd win in a landslide, that's why.
Forget Trump's income tax forms, let's see Hillary's medical reports. She has only campaigned sporadically over the last few weeks and in several appearances, has seemed confused and unsteady.
Getting back to the lottery, will either make lottery winnings tax free?
More excuses about Hillary, now let's see her medical records. Trump did this to himself, STAY ON MESSAGE! over and over again, STAY ON MESSAGE! It might be to late, but spend the money on national ads, it is important.
Release your taxes to be transparent. Don't talk about different races unless you are saying something positive, and yes, criminals are coming across the border. But don't lump the whole race together. Why would trump say, "McCain is not a hero because he got caught". And it goes on and on.
Are some lottery states totally tax free? I think some states are just the state taxes that you don't have to pay??????
Screw the medical records, lets see those Emails.
She sold us out, she sold all of us out!
Leslie Jones is a known racist who is beloved by liberals. Perhaps the author had a valid point to go after her?
I seriously doubt either candidate or even previous ones would even ponder the though of not taxing lottery winnings...politicians on both sides love easy money.
I think in some US states there are no income taxes on lottery winnings, but you have to pay federal.
I don't agree with Leslie Jones being a racist, I do agree with your assessment of politicians liking to milk and bilk the populace.
I think lottery should be taxed, and close all tax loop holes for the rich. GREED has taken over the United States. Please, tax my lottery winnings, I still would be in a better place than working everyday.
My question would be, how is your state spending lottery taxes?
There you go again with those loop holes, they are called deductions, now mister engineer, you most certainly must use them yourself at tax time!
I just think if you are rich, why would you need tax loop hole/deductions? Trump has paid 0 taxes for years and he wants to increase the military. With who's tax money?
And I'm not rich, it would be nice so I can live a quiet life in Rancho Santa Fe, Ca, (San Diego county)
Standard deductions, your kids, mortgage interest, property tax, medical bills, other expenses.
What does taxing the rich more do for you?
They earned it, why should they be punished for being more successful?
If you're not able to make deductions, then you get whatever you paid back, which means your azz don't pay any taxes.
Don't sit there and say Trump hasn't paid taxes, just because some dim wit said so.
If you go out to dinner with 20 people, do you pay the bill for all of them?

And trump cares about the middle class and the poor, REALLY!
Well, your girl Hillary owns 7 mansions, she deducts them, why would you vote for someone who is cheating the taxpayers.?
Besides, owning 2 ,3 or 4 homes is not cheating anyone, you sound like a jealous little girl.
Low income people are not taxpayers.
Why would you care about capital gains? you don't pay taxes.
I do pay taxes! And the same goes for Hillary. Because she is a lot better than trump.
Smart people have more then one source of income, think about it bigbear. You too can have more then what you already have, you just never knew how to go about it.
ort ort ort, mindless seal, keep you head in the sand and you will never grow, never get rich, and if you are not making enough to use deductions, then you get a refund. Hence, you not really paying taxes, you're just loaning the bloated wasteful Government your money for awhile.
"I did not bring up the AL Gore reference."
Which part of Al Gore winning the popular vote but not the Presidency in 2002 has anything to do with Islam?
"If Al Gore had won, we would already be under Sharia law."
I guess it was useless quoting Article 5 from the U.S. Constitution.
"Another dummy"
Nice! Do you really think childish name calling will make your point or help Trump win the election?
Is there a brain somewhere inside that mass of fear and hate?
I thought you "good conservative Christians" would be the first to welcome your fellow Stone Age barbarians. The center-right (liberals) thinks the stings age barbarians will grow up if they move here, they won't. They'll just turn into conservative republican leeches.
Sounds like you don't have much of a comeback there boy. Crickets as Ridge would say.
Lol You can own a million properties and still deduct your property taxes. Legitimate deductions are legitimate per the US tax
code. If Trump takes advantage of legal deductions, what is the problem? We have too many non working non paying libs here who are not even familiar with the tax code.
"A vote for her is a vote for eventual shari'a law"
Just like your TV hero Donald (your fired) Trump, when in doubt try to scare people by saying something that can't possibly happen. And if that tactic doesn't work lie or pretend you're incredibly stupid. Like yesterday when Trump's favorite apologist Rudy Giuliani said,
"By the way, under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn't have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States. They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office."
Can't wait to hear Rudy tap-dancing his way out of that one. Is it a requirement the majority of Trump's advisers, advocates, and many of his supporters to suffer from dementia?
"Gee, and I thought you were smart enough to know by bought and paid for I meant all the money from the Middle East that went to the Clinton Foundation. "
Nope, I can't read your mind (TG); can you quote the law making it illegal for that foundation to accept donations from the Middle East?
However if Paul Manafort was paid with laundered Ukraine money, The Donald will be looking for a new campaign chairman. Do you really think all your childish Clinton "red herrings" will keep intelligent people from asking why Trump wants to partner with Russia, ask them to hack U.S. private networks, and get out of NATO?
"Oh well I won't open one of your posts for another six months."
I guess you're still POed that I revealed those same Las Vegas antidotes you told for years are out of gaming books. I'm not saying you didn't work at a Vegas Casino, find it very incredible any casino employee would support Trump after what he did to the Trump Taj Mahal and ultimately to AC.
Maybe that's why Trump is down by 21 points in New Jersey.
Excuse me for assuming you were looking for an intelligent non-lottery conversation. Where Trumps "blood coming out etc." comments about Megyn Kelly crickets too?
Your song and dance routine is old, Put some porn on and let us adults talk.
You need to chill on your rhetoric as you're sounding just as pathetic as your progressive friends.
King of Derp keeps regurgitating this phrase: "conservative republican leeches" and I'm not sure why. Since I proved WAY back in this thread that more Democrats are on welfare than Republicans, I guess Herp Derp thinks people have forgotten and he can keep on lying.
In 11 different U.S. states today, the number of people on welfare exceeds the number of people with jobs. This list of states includes some of the biggest states in the country: California, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Maine, Kentucky, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, New Mexico and Hawaii.
Seven of the 11 states went for President Barack Obama in the 2012 election; Ohio, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, Maine, California and New Mexico. Mitt Romney was victorious in Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi.
So, it seems that Republicans not only support the Democrat voters in so-called "Red" states, they do it in the biggest "Blue" ones too.
You are doing Ridge proud! Why isn't junior looking full time for a job? He does not want to work.
He thinks if you tell a lie enough times it becomes true, or what he's hoping for is for people to believe it.
No, he sure doesn't .
Ridge, we miss you, we're holding down the Fort , but we need our Number 1.
He is just reciting what he's learned from the progressive media playbook. There is no cure for stupid.
"By the way, I spent a year studying constitutional law and have 2 bar licenses to show for it."
Then you ought know better than saying the Constitution allows Al Gore or Hillary Clinton to repeal the First Amendment. I see your religious comparison because the Woman's Christian Temperance Union played a huge roll in the passage of the 18th Amendment. Do you think today the American Sunni and Shiites Muslims have the same political clout as the WCTU had almost a century ago?
"And restrictions could be placed on second amendment rights to render it essentially void."
Wow, you really do believe all that anti-gun nonsense. I saw first hand what guns (and rockets, mortars, and artillery shells) can inflict on a human body, but still have no problem with reasonable people purchasing and owning legal firearms. What is unreasonable about placing restrictions on known terrorists and people on "no fly" lists?
You contradict yourself constantly. Lol lol Get a job. Pay taxes. The way you twist things and read things that are not said, is a clear sign of mental illness.
You sure have a hatred for Christians; some weeks back you complained that you didn't like having religion shoved down your throat.
As you know, I'm not religious, but I have never felt that religion was ever forced upon me. If some preacher comes on the tube, I just change the channel. If the Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons come to the door, I either don't answer the door or open it and politely tell them I'm not interested. They've always gone away, either way. "Oh, Holy Night" is one of my favorite Christmas carols.
I wonder who actually said that about Fascism; it's most often attributed to Sinclair Lewis, but even the Sinclair Lewis Society can find nothing in his writings.
I see the term "Fascist" thrown around a lot, but it never seems to be used correctly. I remember when the hippies and potheads of the 60's and 70's would use it in referring to the cops after getting arrested for illegally protesting or being busted for a dime bag. It wasn't used correctly then and still isn't with that quote.
Robert Paxton, the far-left historian and "expert" on Fascism, defines it as this:
Fascism is a system of political authority and social order intended to reinforce the unity, energy, and purity of communities in which liberal democracy stands accused of producing division and decline.
He expounded:
A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.
It's ironic that Paxton, while defining Fascism, uses Fascist tactics with his labelling.
Then there's this definition that, while brief, speaks volumes: Fascism - A socialism emancipated from democracy. That shows just who is defining the word. It also should hit close to home with you and your politics.
Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote this about Fascism: The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
That last part, the "ownership of government", sums up the current definition. (It's also ironic coming from a President who tried his best to grab more power for his office, even going so far as to attempt to sidestep the Constitution.) I think that would depend upon from which perspective one is viewing that particular phrase. I'm sure you would say that could apply to the Kochs, Christians and patriots. I'd counter that it could apply the same - or even more so - to George Soros, labor unions and Socialists. If I'm correct, then it would mean your side is winning and that your accusation of Christians and patriotic Americans being fascists is really projection on your part.
Like most leftists who use the term, it's a good thing if THEY'RE the ones having ownership of government.
I'm more inclined to accept George Orwell's explanation of what the word means: "...the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else ... Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathisers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come."
So, basically you're using it in place of "bully"...and in your case and others, it's anyone who won't let you have your way, who counters your insults with facts and reason. You're an immature man-child, still exhibiting the behavior of the "Terrible Twos" well into your 20's. I hope you'll be able to outgrow it someday, but I'm not holding out much hope.
Until that time, I, and others like me, will fight you every step of the way in your perverted quest to fundamentally change this great nation into something the majority of Americans do not want...nor did the Founding Fathers. We will continue to fight you, not only with words on forums such as these, but at the ballot box...and in the streets if need be.
Speaking of "pathetic", have you ever added any helpful lottery related information to LP?
Seriously, to you really believe people purchase premium memberships so they can read your opinions on how to spend imaginary winnings or how real jackpot winners should do?
Great post Mike.
As Churchill said...we shall fight them on the beaches....we shall fight them on the fields....we will never surrender.
Sounds like Drenick put you in your place. This news story thread has provided a chance for people to vent on political issues. Todd is a smart cookie.
Drenick has just as much right to weigh in on how to spend imaginary winnings just as many others have done and will do. You are not superior to anyone on LP. You sound like such a wimpy, scared, bigoted, temper tantrum throwing child.
"The way you twist things and read things that are not said, is a clear sign of mental illness."
I thought you said you were a licensed bar tender. Is pretending to be a physiologist another of your delusions?
You missed my question about the Trumps remarks about Megyn Kelly. Do you agree with what Trump said?
Lol I take it you aspired to be an attorney...but realized you could not get into any decent college. You seem to want to be a wanna be legal expert but your performance is embarrassing. Yes, my college class on abnormal psych was very valuable. You resent any woman who is better educated than you will ever be. Get a job. Bigot.
"Drenick has just as much right to weigh in on how to spend imaginary winnings just as many others have done and will do."
Show me where I said Drenick or anybody else has no right to post regardless of their membership.
"You are not superior to anyone on LP."
Neither are you so what's your point?
"You sound like such a wimpy, scared, bigoted, temper tantrum throwing child."
With these childish comments, you're probably not old enough to go into a bar.
"By the way, I spent a year studying constitutional law and have 2 bar licenses to show for it"
Excuse me for laughing but I never read or heard of a real attorney say they "have 2 bar licenses". But hey, because you said it on the Internet, it has to be true, right?
Good post Mike, Man-child is right.
When the Jehovah witnesses show up I tell them I'm getting ready to cast a spell and could they help form a Pentagram, they run....Bruuuhahahahahahaha
Lol you are an idiot. It is common in many areas, including DC, for attorneys to have both a DC Bar license and a first one from another state. I doubt you have had any interaction with attorneys. Did you ever look at letters from counsel and pleadings? If an attorney is in DC and licensed in another jurisdiction, they have to have all pleadings co-signed by another firm counsel with DC bar membership. Thus, most end up with 2 state bar licenses sooner than later. Most firms give you 18 months to obtain your DC license. I doubt you even have a GED.
I almost forgot, Stack is a big winner, PM him and ask his secret formula, I had it once and lost it, so if he gives it to you, please share with me.
Lol lol. His formula is based on chapters he forgot to read in his GED class.
"Lol I take it you aspired to be an attorney..."
Nope, never crossed my mind; not in real life or on Internet message boards.
"but realized you could not get into any decent college."
While it's very difficult for your childish mind to comprehend, but why would anybody apply to any law school if they didn't want to be an attorney?
"You seem to want to be a wanna be legal expert"
Which part of "nope" is confusing you?
"Yes, my college class on abnormal psych was very valuable."
Note to self; never take a drink while reading Internet BS.
"You resent any woman who is better educated than you will ever be."
Are you talking to me or the anti-Hillary people because that applies much more to them?
Considering all the anti-Trump stuff I posted, even the village idiot would conclude I'm a Clinton supporter. But I'm betting you still can't understand why your comment makes no sense.
Still waiting for an answer on the question about the Trumps remarks on Megyn Kelly. Do you think Trump resent any woman who is better educated than he will ever be, genius?
Rule number one, never tell anyone you won.
That's why I have a premium Membership to learn all the cool stuff.
I have a number of coworkers that are Jehovah Witnesses and they are great workers and very honest. But when other ones came to my door, I tell them I am Catholic and they go away. When I was a kid, they went door to door all the time and a neighbor used to tell them he did not witness the accident Jehovah had. Lol lol
lol
And would you please get a real avatar, blank face guy is annoying.
When you not busy answering you PM'S.
You keep saying how much you miss the guy from TN, but obviously you know nothing about him. He thought I won a huge jackpot when he PMed me about four years ago asking for playing advice, but my playing strategy was "too rich" for his blood.
Bet you don't even know his real first name.
I do know his name, and I know very personal info, I will not ever share that with anyone.
I am very loyal to him, I will never share what I know, ever...
Now get that new avatar, you used to be fun, you can be fun again if you try.
I know his first name also. I cannot imagine Ridge pm'ing that moron for playing advice. He really does have delusions of grandeur. He is sooooooo jealous of Ridge.
I miss him, well I got to go fix some food or my men folk.
Never happen in the U.S.
Yeah, sure Kingofearth. We've go the religious pokice carrying whips and ready to flog anyone who won't way the conversion prayer, cutting off the hands of children, followers committing 'honor killings;, etc....
Call Guinness's Book of World Records and get yourself i there for your level of having been brainwashed.
"Lol you are an idiot."
It's obviously impossible for you to post without making childish insults. Is calling people "idiots" on message boards just a "DC attorney thing"?
"I doubt you have had any interaction with attorneys."
With real lawyer, yes but not with you pretend lawyers.
"Did you ever look at letters from counsel and pleadings?"
Less than an hour ago I said I never aspired to be an attorney. Dementia, ADHD, which is it?
"Most firms give you 18 months to obtain your DC license. I doubt you even have a GED."
Well how about that! Bet you have lots more useless information.
Many years ago (maybe 10), Emily gave me a one month premium membership as a gift and I renewed it because how easy it is to use the wheels. Made a few four number matches playing Ohio Rolling Cash 5 that more than enough paid to continue renewing my premium membership. When I moved to KY tinkered with the Inspector 4, saw something, and caught a box hit and won enough to pay for a premium membership for years.
IMO, there are too many numbers in both the MM and PB matrix for any serious play so my chances of winning will be in the few time I buy some QPs when the jackpot is near the "must win" level.
I don't have any problems with standard members, but believe those with premium membership serious lottery players.
I went through each and every point you made and proved each and every one WRONG (except Davy Crockett)
When you have no defense, you just insult.
We did have religious police in the early colonial era. Then the people grew out of it. As you can see on this forum, the right wing is de-evolving back into that era.
Rule I in academics, CITE OR IT'S WRONG. If you went to high school, you would know that.
No, I just really tired of you, you're a broken record , a bad one at that.
We should thank TODD for allowing this thread to evolve into non lottery related political venting. It is less than 100 days until the 2016 Presidential Election, and a lot of people are very psychologically wound up, and need an escape valve to release tension.
Didn't you suspect the day this new story was posted that it would turn into what it is now?
Three factors here...bets, opponents and opinions. Perfect evolution. Todd probably expected
it too.
No, I didn't suspect it.
It is definitely an interesting thread as long as you can wade through the boorish behavior of a few.
The volley of insults hurled if you dont share similar views... Crazy...
Todd Always Thinking Ahead............................
psyko always thinking........Behind
That's like comparing the Crusades to modern day radical islam atrocities.
destinycreation, dr65, Romancandle,
Actually the posts are within the thread title.
Who is booking action on the US election, the BC Lottery, no?
That's a stretch but not too much of one.
There was a time in Vegas you could bet on almost anything, the El Cortez offered a $1M payoff for a $1 bet on a piece of Skylab landing on the roof of the Hotel. People made the bets just to keep the ticket as a souvenir.
But then the series Dallas had the Who Shot JR episode coming up and the casino bosses got real concerned about collusion among the writers and Hollywood people and restricted everything to sporting events, for a while anyway.
Read somewhere that Obama signed 923 executive orders in his first three years, but found out it was the usual Internet gross exaggeration. The number was 147 and less than Gerald Ford in his short time as President. Ford's first executive order (pardoning Nixon) pretty much summed up his presidency. Eisenhower was the last President with over 400.
"Allowing illegal immigrants,"
The problem now is many people have entered the country illegally, lived here for years, and had children born here creating another problem because their are U.S. citizens. I live in horse country and can only guess at the number of illegals I see every day. The solution is in the hands of the Republican controlled Congress.
"a ban on this kind of gun here, or there. Then one day we look up and wonder what happened."
There was ban on guns in the city limits of Tombstone, Arizona in 1880 so it's not like that idea took hold and the majority of the country demanded a repeal of the Second Amendment. If the Bill of Rights only applies to U.S. citizens, than only U.S. citizens can purchase legal firearms. But if it applies to everybody in the U.S., the only restriction should be the type. None of us wants a 105 howitzer pointed at our homes.
"If I remembe right"
That's your problem, you rely on your faulty memory that can't remember Bruce Lee died 14 years before Rhonda was born. I'm not knocking Chuck Norris, but only a fool would think at age 76 he could beat any well trained 29 year-old female athlete.
"he also said she'd never lose."
Sad that some people suffer from dementia and then want to argue whatever goofy thing they "think" someone said. My only response in the "Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee?" thread was Ronda Rousey could beat either of them. But to answer your second question, the game has changed so much since the days of Norris and Lee, the best pound for pound is debatable.
Asking who was tougher between Norris or Lee is like redundantly talking about spending imaginary jackpot winnings. Is your all time favorite Little Rascals episode is "Who is stronger, Tarzan or Flash Gordon?"
With the exception of the juvenile insults, there is lots of good information.
No, you didn't. You are a pathological liar.
Why should I? You seldom do. You go look it up...that is, unless you don't know how, then I'd be willing to teach you how to research a topic. Someone sure needs to educate you, you sure got ripped off at college.
Now you're making up rules, just like your "facts".
98.4% of socialists in upstate New York are pedophiles.
Like you did in your post up above with these two lies?
Texas's Black and Hispanic populations are the majority in the state
Demographics of Texas
In the 2010 Census,70.4% of the population of Texas was White American. Hispanics (of any race) were 37.6% of the population of the state, while Non-Hispanic Whites. composed 45.3%
Sure, the Hispanic population is growing, but that's the population, not actual legal citizens. Not sure why you would lump two separate races together.
Obama won Texas.........
United States presidential election in Texas, 2012:
Romney won Texas by nearly 16%
66.6% of your posts contain lies. The rest contain either errors or perverted thinking.
CoinToss, I forgot to check the box for reply to destiny. This is one hot topic, with more posts than
any going back about one month in the news category. I had a feeling it would be a popular news
item. I don't think the posts derailed in a way to be off point or subject. You are right, the comments
do fall within and are relevant to the thread title. They fit.
dr65,
Thanks for the reply.
Gee, I wish I could find my Skylab bet from the El Cortez!
That's the whole point of the .......
The giy was talking about national numbers and I was pointing out that it doesn't matter because Texas is majority-minority but it still went for Romney by a mile which wouldn't make sense according to the national numbers. 45% of Texas is white, and yet you call me a liar for pointing out that Texas is majority-minority? You also need to understand when sarcasm is being used.

It's easy to see when you're out-and-out lying, but I'm not sure when your extreme hyperbole is meant to amuse or is done in anger. Either way, it's deceitful.
Guess you noticed that the original source was from Forbes, right? I'd trust their analysis over some biased debunker site.
Also, want me to teach you how to create a hyperlink? I think Todd has a tutorial in here.
Someone who knows something about Executive Orders, answer this please ...
What is an Executive Order ????
1) Can the President bypass both Congress and the Senate by using an Executive Order ???
2) Under what circumstances can a President use an Executive Order ???
3) What types of legislation can he enact by Executive Order ???
4) What types of legislation can he NOT enact by Executive Order ???
5) Why is everyone so upset with Obama for using Executive Orders so much ???
6) What else do we need to know about Executive Orders ???
7) If TRUMP can't get any of his policy ideas through the Congress & Senate, or some other branch of government won't cooperate [Like a Military Mutiny - no disrespect intended], can TRUMP go Rogue and start using Executive Orders ???
Enlighten me please ......
....... Other Inquiring Minds want to know what the LAW is also.
Let's see who has dementia, Stack.
First you tell us Ronda Rousey could beat either one of them, then today you yourself point out Bruce Lee died 14 years before she was born. And now, suddenly, you originally meant 'in their prime." As for your only response in the Norris - Bruce Lee thread yeah, you said she could beat them both, but in another thread you said she's never be defeated.
Soon after she lost.
As for your penchant for quoting other people, highlighting in blue (now you'll switch colors maybe)m and pathological nit-picking, the more you post your erroneous 'facts' and opinions the more of an imbecile you're proving yourself to be.
Get a life and stop bothering the sane people.
Item 5, because he had to, republicans are the party of NO.
Obama = 244 executive orders
Bush = 291
I don't trust the polls, the wife conducted a poll at work and in her department alone the vote was 25 to 2
in favor of Trump. I watched a interview where Trump was asked asked why people disliked him. He replied
55,000 negative adds. That was over a month ago and I would estimate that number has doubled. This
election is rigged against him. Hillary cannot be trusted to speak the truth. The negative adds are big media
trying to control the election, just look at who the wife's of big media work for.
It's easy to pick out the Republicans that are corrupt as well, the ones using scare tactics saying Trump will
destroy America. Obama was a first term senator who never had a lick of experience in anything, except maybe
lying which he has become a grand master. According to Bill, Hillary congers up the dead and often speaks to
Eleanor Roosevelt, this means that Hillary could rightly be called a witch. Hilda says Billbo will be the brain child
behind her economic policies and we all know how well they worked the first time around. I would like to ask
Hilda what Bill was doing on those 26 plane trips to Epstein's sex island? I am sure his response would be
"Can you define what, what is" The anti-Trump add I really like is that only stupid under educated backwoods
idiots are voting Trump. Oh well, I guess if something gets repeated often enough the simple minded will believe
it without checking the facts. Canada has now entered what I see as the biggest scam ever attempted on the
American public. The simple minded keeps getting simpler. Maybe I need to get in on the action, If I study the
stats I see ten's of thousands attending Trump rallies where Hilda is packing in a few hundred. The 25 to 2 also
looks very promising. Just like the lottery it's possible to rig the election, I seen on the news where a few places
don't require a ID or voters registration card, what's up with that? I guess the US elections are open to anyone
regardless of citizenship, again just like the lottery.
RL
Hey bigboar... Executive orders aren't law. Some of obama's executive orders violated Congressional law and were struck down by SCOTUS. Sometimes a party of "no" is a good thing in our system of government. Or didn't they teach you that in school?
Thanks for your post RL. I enjoyed reading it.
sully16
I wonder how people would take it if Trump started talking about how the 1st amendment's freedom of speech needed some
upgrades. So many are willing to give up our 2nd amendment rights that I am sure they would just roll over over if suddenly
freedom of speech became center topic. IMHO anyone who does not like our Constitution and the bill of rights should move to
some place that does not have them. We have all heard the old saying "The pen is mightier then the sword." but without a
sword the pen is worthless.

In a parallel universe
Maybe the British would have just said OK to the declaration of independence
Maybe Abe would of said "OK I tried." to slavery.
Maybe a simple letter to Hitler would have avoided WWII.
Maybe communism, where only the rulers have guns would be nice
Maybe making crime legal would eliminate the need for guns
Maybe letting the village take our kids away so they could be programmed like cheap computers is not a bad idea

"First you tell us Ronda Rousey could beat either one of them"
You're embarrassing yourself again!
On the first post in the "Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee" thread, Jeet asked "Who is more relevant in the "game" these days?" and on November 27, 2014 Rhonda Rousey was obviously much more relevant in the MMA game. Is the term "THESE DAYS" (in the present) causing all your confusion?
"then today you yourself point out Bruce Lee died 14 years before she was born. And now, suddenly, you originally meant 'in their prime."
It's getting worse, dementia and a severe a lack of reading comprehension. In the context of relevancy, THESE DAYS, it should be obvious and in context of an actual fight THESE DAYS, you rely on your faulty memory that can't remember Bruce Lee died 14 years before Rhonda was born. In other words the question was about MMA relevancy of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee THESE DAYS. Are you disputing on THAT DAY Rhonda was much more relevant than either of them in MMA?
"but in another thread you said she's never be defeated."
In what other topic? I'm trying to be nice but I won't let you get away with lying about what I posted; give a link.
And what does "she's never be defeated" mean? Do you mean "she'll never be defeated" or "she's never been defeated"? Maybe you can you find where I said She's undefeated THESE DAYS?
"As for your penchant for quoting other people,"
It's called being honest and showing what's being addressed. You complained when I didn't quote Jeet and now you're complaining when I do.
"the more you post your erroneous 'facts' and opinions the more of an imbecile you're proving yourself to be."
Aw, so that's why you won't let anyone remark about all the lies you tell in your blog. And speaking of lying (or is it dementia?), didn't you say I was on your block list? If you're blocking me, how can you know what I'm posting or did you mean blocking me in THOSE DAYS, THESE DAYS, or SOMEDAY?
"Get a life and stop bothering the sane people. "
Are you quoting what your doctor said to you when he was treating your dementia?
And don't tell me when and where I can post; this isn't your blog.
Good posts, RL, People here have no idea how good they got it.
Supermarket on every corner.
The right to speak your mind.
The right to Religious Freedom.
The right to defend you home and person.
Electricity, running water, heat from gas lines, canned food.
Credit....where would we be with out that.
Books, that everyone can read.
We can water our lawns, there are countries that don't see the amount of water we waste, or the food that we waste.
We are not perfect, but life is pretty darn good with those things.
It irks me to no end when someone from another country complains about, our Flag, it's our country dammit.
We should have the right to fly our Flag anywhere we want, they complain about the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools.
Now in Detroit, they do not show the National Anthem on TV before the Hockey game. BS
Tired of just anyone running across our border and sucking our welfare dry, committing crimes
Been labeled a racist cause I don't want illegal immigration. I don't care where you're from, come here the right way , contribute and respect our way of life.
and let's not forget about our 400 million Dollars....and the money that Clinton got for Clinton Foundation..
"Tired of just anyone running across our border and sucking our welfare dry, committing crimes"
All while waving the flag of a country that they had to leave to escape poverty.
"Been labeled a racist cause I don't want illegal immigration. I don't care where you're from, come here the right way , contribute and respect our way of life."
Political correctness = Devils pitchfork. Try to outlaw what a person can say to the point that you
cannot address real problems. From Sovereignty to Insolvency heading to Slavery. When Obama
said change, who would have thought.
RL
Your ocd highlighting does show some mental issues and it seems to be obvious to many . My guess is that you are reliving a fight with an ex. It is called transferance...look it up.
I have a question. If Hillary has a stroke before the election....and let's be honest, she is aging fast, then Kaine becomes the nominee? Kaine's staff were belligerent, foul-mouthed nightmares when he was running in Virginia. They repeatedly buzzed my door late one night and demanded access to a gated area to get to some other townhouses. I refused and they went ballistic. A couple of little nazis. I called the local Kaine HQ the next day and was rudely told they can do whatever they want.
Both parties have a rule that if the nominee is unable to run anymore, a committee picks the new nominee via a complicated system of voting, there's no guarantee he'll be the new nominee.
Does this have to be done quickly so the election is not delayed?
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/09/dead_by_election_day.html
Read today where our Governor issued an executive order firing one of his cabinet members. The definition of executive order pretty much answers most of your questions. The short answer is Presidential executive orders are used to manage Federal Government operations. Many EOs are for the Defence Department and armed forces. Here is a disposition table that might help you better understand the purpose. They can be amended, revoked, or supersede too.
Number 5: Obama has less EOs than any two term President back to the 19th century. I guess the people who are upset are Constitutionally ignorant.
As for question 7, the President can't force Congress to pass a bill, but they have the power to veto a bill. A more likely scenario would be Clinton with a Republican House and possibly a Republican Senate.
The Law is Article II of the Constitution.
"I don't trust the polls, the wife conducted a poll at work and in her department alone the vote was 25 to 2 in favor of Trump."
Strange statement considering your lottery systems use past performances and basically the good Presidential polling is conducted to see if there are changes in past data. If the same demographic in 2000 and 2004 predicted Bush should win in Texas, McCain in 2008, and Romney in 2012 and if the results verify the prediction (plus or minus the margin of error), there is no reason to believe the same demographic won't predict the 2016 election. Currently the polls show that while Trump is polling less than Romney in 2012 (50% to 57%), his 10 point lead means Trump will likely win in Texas.
I would agree with you if you're specifically talking about National polls because the only thing that counts is the electoral map. It's easy enough to predict KY's 8, Kansas' 6, and Missouri's 10 will go to Trump, but they will be neutralized by New Jersey's 14 and Maryland's 10 going to Clinton.
"Just like the lottery it's possible to rig the election"
"Hey bigboar... Executive orders aren't law."
Executive Orders do not require Congressional approval to take effect but they have the same legal weight as laws passed by Congress. The President's source of authority to issue Executive Orders can be found in the Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution which grants to the President the "executive Power." Section 3 of Article II further directs the President to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." To implement or execute the laws of the land, Presidents give direction and guidance to Executive Branch agencies and departments, often in the form of Executive Orders.
Don't take my word for it; read what it says in Section 3, Article II of the Constitution.
You missed my question about the Trumps remarks about Megyn Kelly. Do you agree with what Trump said?
You won't answer my question so it's obvious your only intent posting to me is use your repertoire of very childish insults.
"Your ocd highlighting does show some mental issues and it seems to be obvious to many .My guess is that you are reliving a fight with an ex."
That's my point, you're making up stuff so you can personally attack me instead of responding to what I post.
"When you not busy answering you PM'S."
Weird, speaking of PMs, I got a PM today warning me that Artist's childish insults are intended to get me banned. Apparently she did the same thing to an Arizona poster three years ago. You're a savvy lottery player, truthfully has Artist taught you anything that might help you win a prize or added anything that you didn't already know?
A friend of nutty Ronnies? That explains a lot. Sounds like Ronnie must still be a member under another name.
Executive orders aren't law, they are policy which can be overturned by any future President. I said they can't violate existing law passed by Congress.
I can guess who that is.
New topic about the polls, The High School where I went is a polling station, they posted on youtube people feeding ballots into the machine as fast as they could go, we had extremely lopsided voting, only voted for President Sotero ( aka Obama)
and not anything else on the ballot. The republicans were literally chased out and threatened, not a freaking peep from the media.
Was your school a polling station or were they set up as a voting precinct? I had read that many towns in PA had Obama receiving 100% of the votes with Romney not even getting a single vote. If that doesn't sound like corruption, you can thank the honest media for keeping it hush hush and protecting their Messiah.
I wonder if the new black panthers will attempt to intimidate voters this fall?
No matter how we look at it, trump is going to lose! He does not have the black votes, he does not have the hispanic votes, he is losing more women votes and he is losing the white college educated votes. Trump can not get enough votes to win. And with his new team except for the lady, he is guaranteed to lose.
Do the math.
It was where I went to HS in Detroit, not where I vote now.
Not sure what it was set up as, just seen the you tube video.
You can't get anymore DC insider than Hillary Clinton. She recently said free market forces don't work. HUH? Then how did America become a superpower in every sense of the word in such a short amount of time relative to the rest of the world?
Hillary is the epitome of a DC insider. Liberals will never understand the free market.
Terminal brain disorder can't be fixed.
They understand free, they just want the market to pay for it.
It became a superpower because of 90% tax rates and a strong socialist government. Then Regean showed up and the US became a second world country.
LOL! The first income tax was imposed during the civil war in order to pay for the war effort and that was only 3%. The 16th amendment made the income tax permanent in 1913. Don't look now King but it wasn't income taxes or a strong socialist government that made this country a superpower. Face it... The free market economy.
Guess I was wrong on a previous post. Already 47 pages and its only mid August. By election day we will probably hit 150 pages. Weeeee!
Feel free to roam Cuba. Bye Bye
You must have missed where I said executive orders can be amended, revoked, or struck down by the Supreme Court. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order and became the law of the land and certainly not just a policy.
I take it your silence means you must believe Artist adds nothing lottery related to the forums. Of course if I'm wrong, you can easily show us what the have added.
"New topic about the polls"
How about giving a link to the youtube video and maybe I can get it into the news.
Some people just need to put their ego in park.
People whose posts are constantly filled with I, me, and my soon get ignored.
"I had read that many towns in PA had Obama receiving 100% of the votes with Romney not even getting a single vote."
It's a fact at least 22 precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio (Cleveland) voted 100% for Obama in 2012. It's also a fact that over 200 precincts in Utah voted 100% for Romney in 2012.
"If that doesn't sound like corruption, you can thank the honest media for keeping it hush hush"
Yep, I suppose over 200 Utah precincts voting 100% for Romney would raise Fox News viewer's eyebrows,but nothing unusual for the real reporters that do their homework. There were no registered Democrats in most of the Utah precincts and no registered Republicans in any of the 22 Cleveland area precincts.
Have no idea of how precincts in the entire country voted 100% one way or the other, but it's probably in the thousands.
I wonder if David Dukes and his followers will show up wearing their hoods and sheets? After all Duke did endorse Trump.
How many more times are going to lie and say you blocked or ignored me?
Maybe it's because you put all those lies on your blog and your faulty memory problems?
"in another thread you said she's never be defeated. "
And when are going to show that imaginary post?
Seriously to really believe the nonsense you (and others) put on their Blogs will change the election outcome?
It's certainly better than believing the nonsense that comes from Obama, Hillary, etc....
Typical liberal, you believe in free speech until someone says something you don't like.
And now, sayo-f&$%**)nara
I don't know how to post links.
As far as Artist goes, she is a great friend and I enjoy my private conversations with her.
Your remarks are nothing more then an insult to her.
I don't have the computer savvy I would like to have or I would be posting all kinds of stuff in my blogs.
Trump, release your taxes so we can see that you care about other people, like veterans and not just yourself.
Trump do you still need to see President Obama's birth certificate?
Years ago obama applied for admission into Occidental College as a foreign student from Indonesia under the name of Barry Soetoro. Explain that one.
https://www.mrconservative.com/2015/11/67090-breaking-obamas-college-records-are-finally-released-what-they-say-could-get-him-impeached/
That is a fake article, a sham like trump!
No its not.
So, why was this not in the news? Another fake story for non-educated people. Hey trump, are you still waiting for PRESIDENT OBAMA's birth certificate. This is just one reason why black people will not vote for trump.
Mr.conservative.com prints satire stories and passes them on as news.
You're the uneducated one here buddy. Who else would support a lying criminal for President. If we had a real news media in this country obama would never have been elected President.
What I'm the uneducated one for not going to mr.conservative.com for my news. Only the dumbasses get their news from mr.conservative.com.
"That was from the IRS."
Who? Lois Lerner?
IRS commissioner John Koskinen stated that trump can release his tax retuns while in audit.
Did you read the article? Can you even read? They got that through a FOIA request. Hello.... Anyone home???
Repeat after me.... "I am a broken record".
You are a dumbass! You just stick with mr.conservative.com and you will be just as stupid tomorrow.
Wow, kindergarten insults from an (((engineer))). LOL! Time to get a job and contribute to society pee wee.
It would be nice to see a birth certificate with the name of the hospital in Hawaii what it was when Obama was born, not the present day name.
Would also be nice if his college records weren't sealed.
LiveinGreenBay,
This story went around Chicago for a while (and naturally has been buried by the media).
A mailman in Chicago had a guy on his route that he would talk with every day.....one day the guy told the mailman he had a new boarder, an exchange student from Kenya......and introduced him to Obama, who wass going by Barry Soetero at that time.
C'mon fellas... You're just kidding right?
Or do you really believe these conspiracy theories?
Awwww thank you Sully. I feel the same.
I see Stack is still blowing his stack...lol. What a frustrated wanna be attorney. Lol You ignored my question, so therefore you admitted it!
I heard he attempted to pass himself off an attorney and told a judge that his opponent's argument was "mute." The judge replied "I wish I could put you on Mute, Mr. Stack...but your law degree does seem moot."
Did you ever notice in any group setting, the one who tells everyone else how he is the most valuable over all the others, is viewed by others as being the least valuable? Perhaps a Napeleon complex?
We are observing a Ronnie like total meltdown in action.
Doesn't Todd give us the level promotions? What does mine say????? 5 of 8 bars...lol. Senior.
RC,
Have you ever heard anyone say they were in college classes with obama?
Do you really believe not one single person in Philadelphia voted for Romney, and not that the machines were tampered with so no matter how someone voted in went to the Democrats?
Obama did release his original birth certificate! Trump stated that he sent agent over to Hawaii to get the truth. Trump lied about the agents going to Hawaii.
I believe it was 59 precincts in the inner citys that he got 0 votes. Mmmmmmmmmm, do you see this trump? You can not talk bad about groups of people and expect them to vote for you.
And no one remembers him from Harvard law? In Most classes, your attendance and participation is a substantial portion of your grade.
No, I've never looked into either CT.
The whole notion of him attending school and nobody seeing him seems preposterous.
as for the voting in Philly... I know nothing of that.
Can "President" Trump use an Executive Order to enact a ban on Muslims immigrating into the U.S. ???
Obama will best be known for perpetrating the ultimate con job on America. This Muslim African hoodwinked the most powerful country on earth.
Agreed. He was brought in for a purpose.

Bull-lies are Bull-lies.

"There was a time when Obama used the last name "Soetoro." Obama used Soetoro, the last name of his stepfather, while he wasgrowing up in Indonesia. At age 10, Obama moved back to Hawaii, his birthplace, and stopped using that last name.
After two years at Occidental College in California, 20-year-old Barack Obama transferred to Columbia University in New York in 1981.
There are no records that suggest Obama ever went by his childhood alias while attending Columbia. In 1983, the university’s weekly magazine published an essay written by Obama. The byline reads "Barack Obama."
ID issues
Whoever took the time to make this image apparently didn’t take the extra time to change the number on the card. After the card made the initial rounds, Snopes revealed the card number belonged to another student, who appears to be caught up in this simply because he posted his card to the web in 1998.
The picture of Obama on the fake ID is definitely not of the president as a young college student. It looks like the photo was taken in 1999, when Obama was in his late 30s and a state senator in Illinois."
Yep, I won't stop you from saying all the stupid things you like and tell some lies too.
Oh and I'll bet you're really proud that your man Trump passed out Play-Doh to the LA flood victims.
Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway insisted that the visit was not a photo op, praising Trump for acting “presidential” and describing his stay there as “a decidedly nonpolitical event, no press allowed, going to help people on the ground who are in need.”
"Help the people on the ground" by giving the Play-Doh???
"I don't know how to post links."
Then why did you say it was on Youtube?
"Your remarks are nothing more then an insult to her."
I didn't ask for your opinion, but an example of anything lottery related Artist has added to the Forums. Maybe somebody will start a Premium member "go-fund" so Artist will have something lottery rated to add.
"As far as Artist goes, she is a great friend and I enjoy my private conversations with her."
You said Walt Whitman was a great friend of yours too, but you don't even know why he stopped posting.
But not as juvenile as the finger painting lawyer's lame insults.
"Time to get a job and contribute to society pee wee."
Speaking of lame insults.
They believe any negative thing they read especially when Fox News tells them to. When there is nothing positive to say about Trump, attack what the opposition post and then personally attack them. It didn't work in 2008 and 2012; when will they ever learn?
GB actually called me a liar when I quoted Trump "calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" so I added this: If you don't believe quotes, here is the actual video.
These silly conspiracy theories will continue even after the landslide election. I saw a thing on Facebook that looked like ABC News reporting Obama signing a executive order banning the Pledge of Allegiance. The haters want so badly for it to be true, they repost it as the truth.
http://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2016/06/18/donald-trump-muslim-immigration-ban/86038940/
Short Answer: Yes.
Long answer doesn't serve your purpose? UNTIL THEY ARE PROPERLY VETTED! You, know, make sure they haven't been camping out at terrorist camps, involved in anti-america activity, belong to radical groups, etc....
A vetting process is not new tolegal immigration....it's just been ignored in the US, sadly.
I love how nutty Stack now feels he runs lp vs. Todd and keeps making demands of members. Bad case of the green eyed monster. PS. I don't paint. Broaden your very limited horizons. Learn to be a more well rounded person. .
I can say what I want. Go search voter fraud on youtube, maybe you'll find it.
Artist does not need to throw lottery info at me for me to be her friend.
I know why Ridge stopped posting, I just don't feel like telling everyone his business.
Nobody bug me about, I won't say.
I got his number. He has serious trust issues, and that has nothing to do with us.
Again I say its a case of the pot calling the kettle black. You don't throw insults? You're a typical lying democrat liberal. No wonder you support the lying criminal Hillary. Get a job Jethro.
Sully even knows my real name and phone #.
Jenny @ 867-5309
lol, we on for dinner?
Yes. We are joining Bao Bao and Bei Bei for dinner to celebrate their birthdays.
Sounds good. I'll make dessert, Lava Cake. yum
The US immigration system is the toughest in the world. Unlike the Fox News bubble, in reality no one gets to come here without being vetted to the extreme. If anything, we should cut down the process to make it easier for top talent to move here. The Syrian refugees who aren't top talent can go move to the gulf states where their barbaric Stone Age nonsense is the law.
Two types of people are Hillary supporters...Fools and slugs. Which are you.
That's doing a lot better than our failure of a current President, Obama...did you see what else was in
those boxes? Not just Play-Doh.
How dare and how convenient that Obama take the advice of the governor and stay away...he's golfing while
people are miserable. Hillary said her visit there would be a distraction...to who? or for who?
The truck with supplies was filled with drinks, socks, wipes, toys etc. Don't reduce his contribution and time to
simply handing out boxes of Play-Doh.
I AM PROUD OF HIM.
HE WAS THERE.
Obama is interested in going out with a bang and I hope he does. Oh, you like what he's doing with the internet?
That will be a bang to remember for generations to come...put that on the crap sheet right next to ObamaCare.
Triumph! and I hope he will because if he does, there might be some hope left. And what did he say? - What
have you got to lose? What the HE*LL have you got to lose? He's right, what have we got to lose that we already
haven't?
Hi dr65, Thank you. Check out PlanB's blog, he made an interesting point.
Question: What's the difference between obama and Hillary? Answer: There is none.
You see the truth. I love Trump supporters. Trump 2016.
The governor is correct to tell the President to stay away.
It gives them time to really assess the area to possibly tell the President how much money they might need. Trump and his play-doh can go home.
Taylor Swift did the right thing to send 1 million dollars!
AGAIN! Trump can take his PLAY-DOH and go home!
They need money, not play-doh.
OH STFU YOU FOOL! TRUMP IS A GOOD MAN AND LIKES HELPING PEOPLE. THIS IS A TRUE STORY......
BACK IN 1995 TRUMPS LIMO GOT A FLAT TIRE. A YOUNG COUPLE STOPPED TO HELP HIM, THE YOUNG MAN FIXED TRUMPS TIRE. TRUMP ASKED THE MAN HOW HE COULD REPAY HIM. THE YOUNG MAN SAID YOU CAN SEND MY WIFE SOME FLOWERS. TRUMP DID MORE THAN THAT.... READY FOR THIS.... TRUMP PAID OFF THAT YOUNG COUPLES MORTGAGE ON THEIR HOME. WOULD OBAMA OR HILLARY DO THIS ????
http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/married-couple-helped-trump-after-his-limo-broke-down-what-he-did-next-is-amazing/
"In fact, back in 1997, when the Donald Trump version of the tale was still relatively new, Trump's office was actively denying its truthfulness:
"We've heard the story," said an irritated-sounding assistant of Mr. Trump's at his New York office. "No, it isn't true.""
http://www.snopes.com/luck/trump.asp
Been researching this on google. Snopes is liberal as hell. Both Donald Trump and his son's said this is true. I choose to believe Trump. You believe what you want.
Prove that it is true! Another story states that the man got a check for $10,000
I think it is not true at all.
Then Trump should have this man endorse him or wave the stamped check in the lamestream media's faces.
Trump isn't obama or Hillary. Trump doesn't seem to be a man to use people for political gain.
Blah blah blah blah blah, yada yada yada yada yada, so I guess you can not prove that your trump story is true?
You are correct, I can't. Can you reference a lie Trump has told? obama has lied numerous times to the American people. Hillary has lied to the American people numerous times. I wouldn't believe obama or Hillary on anything they say. Until I learn different, I will believe an honest man.
No doubt! Obama is the ultimate Trojan horse for radical Islam. His fake Christian faith is a farce that everyone has seen right through.
Trump may be a little outspoken at times but what should anyone expect when he's not following a script. Unlike Obama or Hillary, Trump is a decent, honest family man who actually cares about America.
The value he has instilled in his children speak volumes.
And what makes trump an honest man
This one is....
https://www.truthorfiction.com/trump-gave-25000-marine-freed-mexican-jail/
Yes the value of that golden spoon speaks $$$$$$$$$
The maid service, the chauffeur driven car to school and the cooks to fix a bowl of cereal. Trump cares about america's money.
Trump spent more than $85,000 on ads to bring back the death penalty when New York had the Central Park jogger trial. 4 or 5 black men that were innocent in the long run and they sued New York for $41,000,000 and won.
"I got his number. "
And I have your number.
LiveinGreenBay July 31: "Who's Ridge? Before my time."
sully16 July 31: "He is my friend and I miss him dearly everyday. He's one of the good guys in America."
LiveinGreenBay July 31: "So what happened? Did he just stop posting?"
sully16 July 31: "Yes, Not sure what happened."
sully61 July 31: "I just hope he's okay and just had to walk away"
stack47 July 31: "Why do you think he 'had to walk away'?"
sully61 July 31: "I don't know."
But now you have his number and know he has "serious trust issues".
What's the Chippewa word for "speaking with forked tongue"?
You really should stick to trying figure out why you never won a jackpot. Here's a hint; the odds.
Or try to figure out why Clinton is beating Trump by 15 points in the Wisconsin polls.
Give it a rest I am not spilling someone else's business, it's just easier to say I don't know.
You know what I mean, you just want to try to prove something that isn't there.
If we were good buds, I would play dumb and keep your business to myself.
Your always out to prove the whole world is lying, and it can be true, we all lie, but we all also have reasons, right or wrong. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else.
So from here on out, Ridge is gone, most likely will not be back, I miss him and any info I have is private.
Happy now.
"If we were good buds, I would play dumb and keep your business to myself."
What is so difficult in just saying he was just a message board acquaintance in the first place?
"Your always out to prove the whole world is lying"
That's a lie!
"I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else."
There is nothing to prove; if you don't know why your "best friend" that you "miss dearly" hasn't posted in two years, just maybe you two weren't as close as you thought.
"So from here on out, Ridge is gone, most likely will not be back, I miss him and any info I have is private."
Most of the LP members following him knew something was wrong when his premium membership expired two years ago. One of them even mentioned it when his account logged on in April 2015.
At best I proved you probably have no clue why he quit posting, but so what, nobody cares about your credibility.
BLAH BLAH BLAH, Go get help for your OCD.
You have serious issues . And you will be blocked again. Life is just way to short for you and your BS.
Oh goody, more lame childish insults.
"And you will be blocked again."
Is that like the last time you had me blocked, but still commented about my posts?
"Life is just way to short for you and your BS."
The real BS is you pretending he was your dear close friend instead of admitting he was the same message board acquaintance all the other LP members knew. Stick to the real lottery topics where your opinions will be proved right or wrong by the results. I'll bet you really believe all this nonsense about Clinton you and your new dear close friends are saying will sway the election results.
I doubt it, but hopefully the insults will stop and we can get back to the topic.
I saw where one of Trump's new campaign managers Kellyanne Conway when asked about Trump's real chances, she acknowledge Clinton has 242 electoral votes locked up and it's going to be an uphill battle. There is no Vegas line because betting on elections is illegal, but currently Ladbrokes in England has Clinton at 1:4, Trump at 3:1, and Trump being replaced as the Republican candidate is 7:1.
For those wondering where the 242 votes came from, it's from the solid 2012 states voting Democrat. If the that number stays firm, Trump must win Florida and almost all the other toss-up states. The polls in two of the toss-up states, PA and Colorado show Clinton ahead by 9 and 12 respectively. And those 29 electoral votes put Clinton at 271.
The emails and the insults to POWs, Gold Star Families, American born judges, etc. are well known and most voters already made up their minds. So the question is are Clinton's odds as the favorite worth the bet and are Trump's 3:1 as the underdog much lower than they should be?
He is so insanely jealous of Ridge. Jealous of his popularity. Hopefully he and his breakdown will go to the land of no avatar soon.
Nonsense about Hillary Clinton? LOL! You kidding? What nonsense are you referring to? Lying to the American people and the relatives of four dead Americans about Benghazi? It was caused by a youtube video and we'll get the people responsible for this. (It was a coordinated terrorist attack on the anniversary of 911, was anyone brought to justice yet)? Or about lying to Congress, the FBI and the American people about those emails? How about those 33,000 emails deleted after she got a subpoena to produce all the emails? That was obstruction of justice, a criminal offense. Or for the best one...Selling favors as SOS through the Clinton Foundation? How about that Russian uranium deal? I'm sure the list is much more extensive. Anyone who votes for that lying scum needs their head examined.
He's abusive.
On a "Higher Note", I'm going to play Devil's Advocate to all of the Trump/Clinton bashing ....
People can Change ....
If Clinton is elected President ... after all of her wrongdoing .... perhaps she will make a VOW to herself and to the American People, to be a better person than she has been thus far, to be a better politician than she has been thus far, to be a better President than what the American people currently expect, and uphold that VOW. At least Clinton does have experience in office, and she knows what to expect on the job. After previous behavior has sabotaged her career thus far, perhaps she can pivot and change her approach, and figure out how to bring some NEW Integrity of Character to the Presidential Office. "Miracles" do happen in life.
If Trump is elected President ... same scenario ... Trump's MOUTH has sabotaged his own campaign thus far. He has No Experience in political office, and does not know what to expect to have to deal with, while sitting in the Presidential Seat. Trump is in for a very SERIOUS REALITY CHECK !!! The JOB of U.S. PRESIDENT is MORE DIFFICULT than he ever imagined !!! It's NOT like ruling Trump International Empire or the Celebrity Apprentice !!! That being a stated FACT ... Perhaps Trump will realize within the FIRST 100 DAYS IN OFFICE, that he MUST adopt a NEW FRONT FACE FACADE STRATEGY in Acting as President and presenting himself to Congress & the Senate, the American People, and the World at Large. Trump will swiftly come to realize what new legislation is possible to enact, and what is Not possible to enact, dealing with Congress and the Senate. Once that Reality Check sinks in, it remains to be seen, how Trump will Pivot and Change for the BETTER, in representing the Best Interests of the American People, both domestically and World Wide. Thus, Trump must also figure out how to bring some New Integrity of Character to the Presidential Office, and LEARN the JOB !!! ... "Miracles" do happen in life.
No President can Please Everyone. No President's New Policies can Please Everyone. Not everyone will Benefit by New Approaches and New Ideas.
However, I am giving BOTH Clinton and Trump the BENEFIT OF A DOUBT, b/c we, the American People, are STUCK with whomever is elected, and it just makes more sense to choose to see the Glass as Half Full rather than Half Empty. It's called POSITIVE THINKING and having a POSITIVE OUTLOOK on LIFE, b/c your MINDSET shapes your perception and your experience of life.
Both Trump and Clinton Can Change ... Let's just HOPE that they DO CHANGE for the BETTER, in serving in the Office of the United States PRESIDENT !!!
If someone else is elected President, the same reasoning should apply !!! Always HOPE for the BEST to Occur !!! I believe Positive Thinking is part of the American Ideology !!!
Well said Destinycreation, but I have extreme doubt that trump can change. I don't think that he gets it, look who he brings into his team, Roger Ailes (women are going to love that, not!) And the other guy that runs Breitbart (extreme right wingers), trump does not get it. Nothing will get done in Washington because trump is so thin skinned. Trump would make a bad president.
Abusive? No.
Have you read some of your comments towards others in this thread...?
The insults, the name calling... Now that's a form of abuse.
Stack is rather infamous in lp. Maybe you just resent women standing up for themselves?
Those are campaign positions not cabinate positions. IMO Trump will pick highly qualified people in various positions of expertise. Hillary on the other hand will pick political flunkies just like obama did. See the results?
It just shows poor judgement to pick Roger Ailes if you are trying to get women votes. The other pick, the guy that runs Breitbart if you are trying to get black and hispanic votes.
I really don't think voters care much about campaign picks. And while we're on the topic of "poor judgement".... How about that private unsecured server Hillary used as SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? As I recall it was in a closet off a bathroom. Is that right? LOL
Hillary is still winning! Trump is still losing and he is doing nothing to change that.
With the emails, Hillary is still winning.
Early voting, 3 weeks to go.
Its still early buddy. But lets face it... No one here will change anyone's opinion one way or another. But it's still fun.

When you harass someone with the same questions, make the same statements over and over demanding answers, that is a form of mental and emotional abuse.
That is someone who wants to beat you down and control you. I have done none of that to anyone.
I spent 15 years helping abused women, the line of questioning and the throwing of someone's words in their face over and over is classic abuse.
I'm curious what your friends reactions are when you say "this will be fun"
You don't think political discourse is fun? I enjoy arguing politics. Kind of a hobby, like playing the lottery. What do you and your friends like talking about? The Kardashian's or some other important topic?
Infamous for abusing women? I had no idea and if that's true, I either missed it and/or it happened before my time as a member.
I would support any women standing up for herself and do not appreciate your baseless accusation towards me.
The comments here mimic the news or the lack of it on some networks. Every election, each party tries
to demonize the other which is an attempt to control. The U.S. use to be the envy of the world for our
values but now we are nothing but a joke. Trump has many faults but he is a leader which is what is now
needed more than ever.
Trump knows the value of delegation and will put the smartest people to task which is quite different than
we have now. Obama's agenda is also Hillary's and we will see more and more of it if she's elected. The
Supreme Court is the only thing standing in the way of this agenda and that's the big issue we face. I
personally hate people who vote along party lines putting their faith in the party without question. I am not
a republican, democrat or independent, I am a American. If Trump were running as a democrat the arguments
would be the same, just reversed. Stupid is, stupid does. Many things Trump says makes my gut churn but
watching Hillary's lies makes me sick. The Clinton's are crooks and have been since the early days in Arkansas.
The Walton's are big time Hillary supporters, ever wonder why? The Walton's make Trump look like a poor boy
and like flip-floppen Bernie said, Wal-Mart's pay is so low that we the taxpayers have to support their employees
with food stamps. Do we really want to open the door to Mexico, maybe donkey shows are becoming the norm
and maybe we can drop our age of consent to 12. Look at the children of the last few presidents. Drugs, booze,
rebellion etc... compared to Trumps family. In my personal life I see these sort of things in family's where the
parents act one way in public opposed to how they act at home. No wonder the kids are so wacked out.
People can vote the party line's which are hell bent on driving people apart or you can pull your head out of your
ass and look at the facts that really matter.

Donald Trump's companies are 'at least $650m in debt'
“I’m very rich,” Donald Trump has often said to woo the crowds, talking about the fine marble in his hotels and the millions of dollars he has both given to the veterans and to funding his campaign.
A New York Times investigation has revealed, however, that his companies are carrying debt of at least $650m (£497m) – more than double the amount that he disclosed in public records.
While Allen Weisselberg, chief financial officer of the Trump Organisation, insisted to the newspaper that Mr Trump’s company was a tightly-run family business, his critics have argued that the Republican owns minority stakes in an opaque network of partnerships and limited liability companies, and relies on credit and loans to prop them up.
One example is an office building on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, which is indebted by $950 million. The two major backers are the Bank of China and Goldman Sachs. Mr Trump has railed against China for not paying its fair share of taxes for “taking” American manufacturing jobs, and he has blasted his rival Hillary Clinton for accepting $675,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs.
RELEASE YOUR TAXES trump!!!!!!!
Mr Trump’s limited partnerships, of which there are many, have debt of close to $2bn, according to public documents.
“I am the king of debt,” he once told CNN, and the federal filing system for candidates allows him to reign as such.
The disclosure form provided by the Federal Election Commission for presidential candidates asks them to place assets in categories, the highest of which is “more than $50 million”. This opens the door for much higher-valued assets to be listed without being specific.
The form also does not require that candidates list corporate debt, and Mr Trump has said he has no personal debt. And where Mr Trump owns less than 100 per cent of a company, the candidate is not required to disclose debt of that company.
Hillary leaves people to die on a rooftop then lies about it, says a video caused the attack, when pulled in front of Congress to explain, she says " What does it matter now"
LMAO! LOL and LOL again. Hillary will bring people together???? HA! Like obama did? The great divider! Race relations haven't been this bad in 50 years! Hillary will not only divide people based on race but also on gender. Thats a fact Jack. Bring people together...That's priceless.
Obama and Bush put the US 20 trillion in dept. Hillary, add another 40 trillion.
Trump uses dept management to earn money. Name a single western bank that uses the dollar and show me
one that has even a fraction of it's deposits in cash.
RL
New York Times? LOL!
Notice the Iran payoff, They had to use other currencies because they could not find that much cash in dollars.
RL
Cut and paste, or just plain old plagiarism ?
And you know, Valerie Jarret is Iranian.....hmmmm plot thickens.
You go girl.
Actually its illegal to pay Iran in US dollars. That's why obama had to pay the ransom in foreign currencies. BTW that is a federal crime and should lead to obama's impeachment. Will that happen? No.
Western civilization runs on debt, however, when you max out your credit card and can't even make interest payments
you finished. Government is a business and the same rules apply, you must be more savvy at the art of making deals.
RL
Good old Walmart, has to help put their employees on food stamps, so they pay 9 dollars and hour, maybe give 20 hours, minus deductions, you might take home 135 dollars...so when you get your food stamps of 800 dollars, you can shop at Walmart and boy oh boy are they ahead.
Good post RL
Trump has that savvy, I hope he wins.

You are right that trump does not have to release his taxes. And that will be more votes that trump will not get.
People want trump to be transparent.
Yes yes yes, please don't release your taxes trump = less votes for trump.
No one really cares.
I would bet he is in debt, that's the way it works, it's called debt management. The US has been mortgaged to the hilt
and I doubt we can even pay the interest. Obama had no financial skills whatsoever and could not manage a McDonalds
which is clear given his record. Hillary and Bill would be broke if not for foreign interest giving the Clinton foundation big
bucks for whatever.... it was they received. Selling off American interest such as uranium mines to russia through canada.

Yes, that's some good debt management.
Good Lord,
LOL! Did Hillary ever run a business?
Your talking about a casino, are you kidding me, people can't gamble if they don't have jobs, why don't they have jobs?
Trump wants to help Americans go back to work, if you crush the middle class with taxes, then even the rich will feel the pain when no one has any money to spend.
no, she had no experience in finance.
Back in the 70's Hillary Clinton was fired from the Watergate commission for unethical conduct. She lied. Its a fact.

"Anyone who votes for that lying scum needs their head examined."
When handicapping anything talk is cheap especially considering everything on your wish list was known for years. Every day you come up with a new reason why you're not voting for Clinton and almost every day Clinton's lead in the polls grows larger.
Don't want to appear mean, but you message ain't working.
A few years back we had a well liked member who had light hearted and funny posts, but almost over night turned to the "dark side". He's gone now and it's a shame because I warned him because of his health, not to take what he read and posted so seriously. What we have now is a few wanna-be's that ignorantly believe lame insults will somehow prove their useless points.
IMO, the real difference between the two choices is people talk about what they believe Clinton did and others post quotes (including video) what Trump says. For those demanding Trump's tax returns, just read his presidential financial disclosure report so don't expect to see the tax returns in a couple of years.

USC Dornsife/LA Times tracking poll.... Trump 44.6%... Hillary 43.5%.

Miss "Obama is a secret muslim" should look in the mirror.
Nope "ridiculing others" is when you offer your uneducated opinions on how jackpot winners should collect and spend their winnings. Actually it's more like you are pretending to ridicule jackpot winnings; how many W-2Gs did you get the last ten years?
"Your attempt at propping yourself by ridiculing others based on your own life's experience is downright despicable."
I attack the message not the poster and many of your messages are begging to be attacked. Lot's of LP members have many years of lottery playing experience and some will correct erroneous remarks. Some people especially Donald Trump don't take constructive criticism very well and will attack anyone they think is criticising them believing they are being attack.
There is a huge difference between ridicule and criticism.
I think its funny how democrats/liberals pull the "uneducated" card. If you're so "educated" how can you support Hillary as President? Her policies will drive this country into the gutter. She wants to open the floodgates to middle-east refugees and wants to legalize millions of illegals currently here which will drive millions more to our southern border. Have you ever heard of cloward-piven? You know, the strategy of destroying the American economy through drastically increasing welfare roles. I'm sure you have.
I can show ten polls showing Clinton leading from 2 to 13 points but dueling poll numbers prove little or nothing. Real Clear Politics has several National and state polls including senate races. In 2012 Obama got less than 52% of the popular vote, but got almost 62% of the electoral vote. Anyone placing a very large wager to get 2:5 on Clinton or 2:1 on Trump might need more information than a 2 or 3 point swing in the current National polls.
IMO, I'd look at the individual state past voting and current polls. For instance Texas has 38 electoral votes and voted Republican by over 10 points in the last four elections. The current polls show Trump leading by 11 points so it's a safe bet Trump will win in Texas. On the other hand California has voted Democrat by double digits in the last four elections and Clinton is currently leading by 13 to 30 points so it's a safe bet Clinton will win in California.
When you add up all the safe bets (states consistently voting for either party in the past and current polls indicating no change) the electoral vote is Clinton 249 and Trump 163. To win Trump needs to win 107 more electoral votes from swing states and must win both PA and Florida.
I'm educated enough to know what a logical fallacy is and you're full of them.
Actually you're not. Keep kidding yourself.
They only poll likely voters. In 2012 only about 53% of eligible voters turned out. Why? Because they had no one to vote for. Don't believe the polls, this is going to be a landslide for Trump. Wait and see. LOL BTW take a look at his rallies.
Lol Hmmm yet well educated employed me is not posting online in the middle of the night since I have a real job. And when you see someone start to tell others they cannot post and he feels he determines the legitimacy of a poster, that says it all. We are watching a psychological breakdown online. Sometimes it is kinder to give such people the boot so they can move forward.
I have a feeling his days in LP may be numbered. He cannot stand the thought I have more degrees that he will ever have. He cannot tolerate a woman standing up to him. Yet I am gainfully employed and he is not.
Very big difference compared to Hilda where she lies to cover up intentional criminal acts. Trumps exaggerates many of the
things he talks about but that's politics. Doing this drives things home for some people because they get the message that he
is aware of the problems people see. Combining Unemployment with under-employment gives us a much better understanding.
I know several people with advanced degrees working for less than $20.00 a hour. I hear talk about how Trump university
was a rip-off. For years Obama made it a point to go back to school and get a degree, well many took him up on the offer only
to find there were no jobs. Now they are jobless or under-employed paying off student debt while working at a job that pays
peanuts. Maybe they should file a civil law suite against Obama. I know many who would sell back their degrees to pay off the
debt they incurred going back to school. Ignore all the bull*hit and look at what is really going on.

"D’Souza rewrites history, staging a series of still more hokey recreations (complete with some of the worst wig work in the history of the arts) and smothering them with his unctuous narration. His central thesis is that the Democrats were on the wrong side of the Civil War, and because that only happened some 150 years ago, obviously nothing has changed since. D’Souza is compelled by the fact that Republicans were once the party of equal rights, and completely uninterested in the fact that they aren’t anymore.
He depicts Andrew Jackson lashing a slave in the morning and sleeping with her at night (“What is it with Democratic Presidents and innocent young women?” he asks, subtly foreshadowing his fetishistic obsessions with Bill Clinton’s penis). He tells us that “No Republicans owned slaves.” Zero. He paints Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, as the mother of American eugenics because she once spoke at a KKK event (in a desperate bid to get them to stop procreating). He recounts how “The Birth of a Nation” was the first movie ever screened at the White House, and hammers that non-point home by showing one of Griffith’s Klansmen burst out of the screen and onto the White House lawn, to the great delight of Woodrow Wilson."

That's weird because every time I voted in a Presidential election, there were several candidates.
"Don't believe the polls, this is going to be a landslide for Trump. Wait and see."
So the fact Ted Cruz won the Wisconsin Republican primary and Clinton is now leading by 15 points in "polls of likely voters" is an educated opinion?

i had that real operation game i never could get the stuff out....

Thanks for the post Mike... Got that game for Christmas as a kid... Loved it! But somehow it doesn't look the same.
Ignore the hipe and look into the actual historical facts. I don't really like the guy but I was glad to finally see
someone bring this out. This is not new to me but I think it's not very well known by the general population.
Those in power within the Democrat party have a agenda which I strongly disagree with. We only need to look
at what is being said vs what has been done. Obama care is a big deception, sure they claim that the poor now
have insurance but most deductibles are so high that most end up paying much more out of pocket. Take from
one and give to another is not progress. I watched a interview where two black guys, one for Trump and the other
was for Hilda. The Hilda supporter talked about how many Black men and women had entered collage during the
Obama administration and then said "What is Trump going to do for us"
I wish I would have been there and replied "Create a job where those educations can be put to work." Under Hilda
they are most likely to be jobless and burdened down with student debt. Sure it looks good when we see how many
are getting a good education while in fact many of them will be underemployed if they can't find a job. This is how I see
the top of the Democrat party. More debt and lower wages, Bernie understood this before he flipped but like a good
Dem, he put his party ahead of everything. What was so evil somehow became acceptable. I really feel for those he
took money from only to give them the shaft later.
Like the words from Hank jr song. "And y'all was getting' screwed but you wasn't getting kissed" Wake up, your party
only wants your vote and will then give you the boot when they no longer need you. They will give you just enough to
keep you in their pocket, but if you read the fine print your really getting less and less.

So, every trump speech now, trump has to mention blacks and hispanic (what do you have to lose). It's too late mr. trump, it's too late! You are not going to get the black, hispanic and the white college degreed men and women votes. Mexico is not going to builded a wall or add on to the 700 mile wall that we have today.
Where is "White College" located? Never heard of that one.
Nice song.
Trump is starting to sound like a third party candidate that doesn't have clue what the job of POTUS really is. He just finished up a speech by saying he will "make America great again, greater than ever before". Sounds like Herbert Hoover's 1928 "chicken in every pot and a car in every garage" campaign slogan.
He also said "Clinton is losing badly", but didn't say a thing about the Republican Congressmen and Senators that are really "losing badly" in their elections.
Funny, the wife holds three degrees and between the 2 of us I think we have almost 20 years of
secondary education. We are both voting trump. As far as the overall black vote I can't say but
but I see a mismatch of races all cheering him on. I suppose that you would prefer it if he made
promises to each racial group.
What's good for one will be just as good for others. I am tired of all the crap about how Trump is
a racist and women hater when all one has to do is take a at his past record. I myself don't pay
attention to the race of a person, it's when they open their mouth that I make my assessment.

That is what trump did, he opened his mouth and started turning people off! Yes, I look at the poles and all of them are showing that trump is losing. That is why trump is NOW going after the black and hispanic votes.
In away trump is a third party candidate. Washington Republicans don't like him, but some will vote for him. Yes, you are right, trump has no idea what the job of president really is.
I like to think he is reaching out to those who the media has spent hundreds of millions to
build a wall between, the truth and lies. Never in history has so much been spent to take
down a single person. I doubt the US spent that amount of money taking down Bin laden.
Those in power will do anything to keep it that way. Their money is going to fail them this

I understand that we need change in Washington, but trump is the wrong person to make that change. Look at the rainbow of colors in Hillary's audience vs. trump's audience.
Given the choices, I choose Trump. He may work out, maybe not. We can vote them in and we can
also vote them out. We gave Obama a chance, two chances to be exact. Hilda will continue doing
the same thing. It's impossible to spend our way out of debt unless the return on investment is
greater than the interest. Trump will have a lot on his plate and it will take a act of God to put us
back on the right track.
RL
Hillary = Change in Washington? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what does a rainbow of colors have to do with it? You a racist?
My vote is with Hillary and I hope she surprises everyone when she gets into office. I hope the republican party is not the party of no. And trump needs to lose the hate/ hate crowd, it will destroy everything.
Notice how these current presidential candidates are NOT campaigning on "Balancing the Budget", like almost all of the presidential candidates in the past. The issues in this Presidential Election have shifted to Immigration, Foreign Policy, Domestic Economy & Jobs, Health Care, etc., b/c in reality, it's practically Impossible to "Balance" a Trillion Dollar Deficit, so why speak about it ?? Balancing the Budget is just Political Rhetoric. It means Nothing, b/c it will Never Happen. Perhaps the New President can find some other ways to Boost the Domestic Economy, b/c cutting taxes and entitlement programs will NOT Balance a Trillion Dollar Deficit. Cutting Foreign Spending, and channeling that money back into the Domestic Economy might help some.
Hillary won't change. The average American is nothing to her.
Hate crowd? Not really. You know what LBJ (the democrat President) said about black people regarding his "Great Society Programs"? He said..."I'll have those ni**ers voting democrat for the next 100 years". Want to see more about the party of hate?
http://clashdaily.com/2014/03/allen-west-lbj-ill-nggers-voting-democratic-next-200-years/
Yea all the previous Presidential candidates talked about balancing the budget... So how did that turn out for us? Talk is cheap. How many in the past talked about reforming the tax code? How did that turn out for us? I'm tired of political talk every election cycle. Trump is different. I'm taking a chance on him.
How is trump different? How is he going to do everything that he talks about? Where is the money going to come from to do everything that he is talking about?
This is why some people want trump to release his taxes to see that he is different from the pass candidates.
Putting more people to work increases government income and shores up existing federal programs
like social security. Good Jobs allow people to work their way out of debt and improve quality of life.
We need a certain amount of debt to keep the pump pumping but personal debt keeps rising while
personal income continues to drop. I personally reduced my total dept to less than $1,500 and I
only keep that so that I have some kind of payment history. The funny thing is that my credit score
dropped into 700s because I don't have any debt. I have seen an estimate that there are 95 million
people out of work in the US. If these people had jobs all paying around 15% in taxes it would amount
to a hefty sum. How will allowing millions of Mexicans to cross the border taking lower paying jobs
while not paying a cent in state and federal taxes help anything. Balancing the national debt will take
care if it's self if Americans are allowed to prosper according to their abilities. The current federal policies
are a burden on the people and if Hilda get elected it's not going to get better.

What goes around comes around
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Coin Toss, I have no problem with that, she has to be proven guilty first. It is still between trump and Hillary and I pick Hillary. When Obama got into office, trump was one of the kingpins with the birtha movement aganst Obama. Which I and a lot of people found this to be very racist aganst Obama.
Actually the whole birther thing started with a Hillary Clinton volunteer named Linda Starr back in 2008 when Hillary was running against obama. And the rumor took off after that. Don't blame Trump. LOL
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/sep/23/donald-trump/hillary-clinton-obama-birther-fact-check/
When Obama got into office, trump was one of the kingpins with the birtha movement aganst Obama.
Hogwash. You should know that the first questions about Obama's birth certificate originated from the Hillary Clinton camp in 2008, quite a long time before Obama won the election. An attorney named Phillip Berg, a Democrat, filed the first "birther" lawsuit. (Berg also filed a lawsuit claiming that G.W. Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks, so....) While it's been claimed that Hillary wasn't responsible for the accusations, it's hard for me to accept she didn't know what was going on with her campaign staff especially in regards to something that would have given her failing bid for the Oval Office a sorely needed boost. At the time many media outlets reported that some of her staff went overseas to research the claims of Obama having been born in Kenya. If they did, I'm pretty sure they didn't do that on their own dime.
I think many of the questions about the birth certificate have been answered, but I also think there are others that have never been addressed satisfactorily. No need to get into what I think, though, because it's a little late in the game to be arguing them. IMO, there's one false statement on the Presidents birth certificate and that's who was his actual father; I personally think it wasn't Obama Sr. but rather Frank Marshall Davis. The resemblance is undeniably there, both in looks and Marxist philosophy.
Oops, G.B. I would've beaten you to the punch but I was trying to condense one of my usual lengthy rebuttals as so to not make the reader's eyes glaze over.
LOL Mike... We'll never convince bigbear. He's a democrat drone.
I could care less who started it. Trump was the one who stated that he sent agents to Hawaii to find out the true, trump lied. But he had to keep it going, trump is just a total A-hole.
Yep, the worst kind of voter, a partisan hack. I have zero love for the Republicans, and sometimes I vote Libertarian if a Republican is running unopposed for a state office, voted for the Libertarian presidential candidate Marrou in '92, and have voted for Democrat candidates for county and city offices before, but they were old-school Dems from when that party was more conservative than are many of today's Republicans.
That said, I won't vote for a Democrat for national or state office and if the Libertarian candidate doesn't suit me, I vote Republican, the more ethical choice. (and sometimes leave ALL the boxes un-ticked) Why more ethical? Because if a Republican has even a whiff of scandal about them, the party or voters kick them out. Democrats not only choose crooks for office, they re-elect them time and time again.
I could care less who started it.
Why, you deflecting P.O.S., you're the one who brought up the (wrong) origin of the birther movement.
See... I told you. He's a drone. Doesn't matter to him Hillary is corrupt and a complete failure as SOS. He'll still vote for her. LOL
I stated that trump was one of the kingpins with the birther movement! It's no way in hell that I would vote for that idiot trump.
Yep, and he also said this: Which I and a lot of people found this to be very racist aganst Obama.
Since it came from the Hillary '08 campaign and most likely instigated by Clinton herself, I guess that would mean Hillary supporters are racists, right?
No, trump is a total racist! Trump is nothing but a lot talk.
Release your taxes you idiot!
No, not correct and I'm certain you don't have a clue as to what a "kingpin" is, either mechanically or referring to the boss of a criminal organization. Mechanically speaking, Trump wouldn't fit the definition and certainly not in a criminal sense. No, Hillary would fit the latter definition, to a "T".
Scandal has followed closely on her heels since first arrriving in Arkansas. She's had nothing pinned on her - yet - because she's slippier than snails in a barrel of snot. She'll get what's coming to her one of these days, hopefully sooner than later.
Hillary For Prison 2016!
Release your medical records, Hillary! I bet you have a tumor in your head larger than the stain on Monica's dress!
Omg lol.
What did the FBI conclude again? There is plenty of dirt in Hillary's closet, you can afford to let one get buried where it belongs.
False Dichotomy. There are more than two candidates on the ballot, some states could have half a dozen or more.

http://www.salon.com/2015/01/24/youve_got_lyndon_johnson_all_wrong_the_real_story_of_how_a_conservative_congress_passed_the_great_society/
"Though many liberals had long doubted that Johnson was anything but a southern racist conservative who sometimes pretended to be one of them, he was, when he became president of the United States, truly determined to expand the role of the federal government in domestic life far beyond what his hero Franklin Roosevelt had accomplished. Johnson had started in politics as a New Deal liberal, and over the years he had grown ever more determined to deal with issues FDR had ignored and on which Johnson himself had been ambivalent at best during his own political career, most notably civil rights and health care. He wanted to use the presidency to build legislative majorities behind the ideas that liberals had been discussing and deliberating—but not enacting into law—for more than a decade."
The Democrats (even Southern D's) were never anywhere close to anything even resembling the modern Republicans in congress.
One of the few great things about the modern Republican party, their love of primary fights. Democrats (the rich and powerful elites of the party especially) hate to primary the center-right conservatives like Obama and Hillary who keep pushing right wing ideas while the Reps are happy to lose any race in the name of ideological purity. The Democratic party DESPERATELY needs to adopt the love of primary fights.
ROTFLMAO, Monica for President, she finishes the job!
Think about this bigbear, Hillary is a woman who let her husband repeatedly cheat on her, he humiliated her, hurt her, broke her trust, most likely at one time or another may have had a STD or roaming freckle scare.
If she let him do that to her, what will she let the rest of the world do to us?
Do you really think she's in her right mind? If your wife cheats on you, do you continue to let her shame you? , or do you give some walking papers?
Release your taxes trump and stop lying about bringing jobs back to the United States!
Hildabeast has to release hers also, She hasn't done that, only complained about Trump....she's a hypocrite !

Here's how the Democrats operate.
There was the Obama birther issue, so at the beginning of the Republican debates they question Cruz' citizenship.
Bill Clinton was the country's first Draft-Dodger-In-Chief and Hillary questions Trump not having served.
Etc...ad nauseam.
She and Billy boy had an agreement. He would be president first, then her. She sold her soul for this job. It was a marriage of convenience anyway. Did you read how she humiliated Vince Foster the day before he killed himself?
I'm still amazed that all those mysterious deaths in Bill and Hill's wake have been covered up.
But then, they have mainstream media in their hip pockets.
I just seen a add where the KKK supports many of Trump's ideas. The funny thing is is that Trump
was a democrat for a long time. The KKK was started by the democratic party. I personally think
Trump took a good look at his party and woke up. The reason that many of the republican higher
ups don't support Trump is because he looks too much like a Democrat. All the negative adds in
Hillary's arsenal are inside stuff. Shift the blame to distance herself from the stuff she does not want
known. Hillary is very tricky and has become a master of deception. While writing this I just seen
another add where a top KKK leader now supports Hilda. We have a ex-demo running against a
inside demo. No wonder the election is so nasty.
Bill and Hilda should be in prison but are running for the top position in the US. Trump is not perfect
but given a choice it should be a no-brainer.
RL
Trump, please release your taxes! What kind of business man are you, release your taxes. What are you hiding? Release your taxes! How much debt do you have, $300 million or $600 million? Show your taxes! What kind of factory jobs are you going to bring back when a lot of factories are automated or going automated.
Obama's birth certificate has undergone forensic analysis and has been proved to be a forgery, this is a fact.
Hawaii Health Director, Loretta Ruddy was the only one of the 9 people who died in the plane crash. Maybe
this was just a coincidence but at the very least it seems questionable. Look at the name his mother first
tried to use, why did she change it?
RL
RL- IMO Trump was a "democrat" because he had to be. Don't think a businessman can succeed in NYC without seeming to be one. Early in his campaign he praised the Drudge Report numerous times. Democrats don't do that.
Total BS! I see why you are voting for trump.
He's trolling
Do you have any idea how much support and maintenance these automated systems require?
The automated systems produce tons of jobs and most are high tech. Automated systems in
general produce higher quality items at a lower cost. I remember the old auto manufacturing
process where cars were worn out after 60K miles. Now it's not uncommon for a engine to still
be running strong at 300,000 miles. We have lost so many jobs to other countries that offer
close to slave labor. This hurts everyone here in the US as there is less money being earned to
be spread around. Many roads and bridges have fallen into disrepair due to lack of funds to fix
them. The thing that I think Trump would hate to expose is not the amount of debt but the tax
he paid. Lets say I am one billion in debt but with that debt I earn enough to make the payments
plus maybe 15%. 15% of one billion is 150 million in profit per year. Some years it could dip to a
few percent and some years maybe increase. The amount of debt does not matter if it's making
money. Trump has thousands of employees earning millions of dollars all paying taxes. How is this
a bad thing? If we took all the money away from the rich and gave it to the poor, I would say that
it would not take very long before they got it back. I think without the rich taking big gambles and
creating jobs that you would starve to death. Go ahead and hate them if you want, I respect them.
On the other hand look at the Walton's and Wal-Mart, they create a lot of low paying jobs while buying
everything from China. They are super rich, pay slave wages, discriminate against women etc.... and
they are big Hilda supporters. Wake up.

I can't remember if I read about this on LP, in someone's Blog, or somewhere else on the Internet. These 3 books about Hillary and Bill are available on Amazon, or through Inter-Library Loan.

"Clinton Researcher Victor Thorn Reportedly Found Dead" They're calling it another suicide, on August 1, 2016. He was 54. He died on his Birthday, supposedly by a "self-inflicted gun shot wound" to the head.
What Coroner is the Clinton Foundation paying off, to officially rule everything a suicide ???
You are still full of crap! Automated factories takes less workers than non-automated factories! You are so FOS! Most low tech workers are replaced with less Hi-tech workers. Most unemployed workers are not Hi-tech workers. And this is for your next post, you are so FOS!
Oh yes, Obama's Hawaii residing white mom totally knew her half black son would become president in 47 years so she went over to Kenya to give birth and name him Barack Hussain Obama and then send the news to Hawaii by telegram .
I am NOT a Psychologist, but I want to make a comment about the psychology of suicide.
If Victor Thorn's death is actually a Homicide, then it is probably just coincidental that the murder occurred on his 54th Birthday.
However, if his death actually was a suicide, then he probably chose the date of his 54th Birthday to commit suicide, probably for sentimental reasons [even though he may have had a lot of enemies, and was probably living under a lot of stress as a writer of controversial topics, and probably also received death threats]. He decided to EXIT LIFE on HIS OWN TERMS, before someone else took him out of life on their terms !!!
He was born Barry Dunham, where he was born is really a mystery, not Hawaii and not Kenya, but possibly Canada. adaopted by sotero, then changed his name in college to Barack Obama.
He wasn't born in Hawaii, mama left him there with grandparents, grandma got him his SS card, it is that of a deceased man in Connecticut .
Frank Marshall may be his real father.
He attended college and got money as a exchange student, if he was born here, it's fraud, if he was born outside the US, he has no business being President.
This race(and all politics) is about masculinity over femininity. This feminism affects the world majority of all genders, races, sexual orientations, republicans, democrats, conservatives and liberals.
The default setting for humanity is feminism. Feminism gives you the envy, cultural relativism and egalitarianism that leads to all the stagnation and inferiority. Its hard to be masculine because it takes courage and discipline. Feminism is about present orientation. Masculinity is about future orientation.
This is not a man vs. woman issue. At least as many men are feminized as women maybe more. Only after the majority lose much of their money, jobs, safety, retirement, and liberty do they vote masculinity to fix things. They don't do this because they want to. They do it because they have to. Its the only way to get their lifestyles back.
After the feminist debacle of the 60s - 70s the world voted Reagan and Thatcher. They knew these masculine candidates would straighten out alot of problems and they did. Humanity got their pride, money, and dignity back. How did they respond? Did they continue to vote masculine to keep it? Of course not! They went right back to the debachery of feminism. They elected feminist candidates such as george bush, john major, bill clinton, gerhard schroder, bush jr., tony blair, gordon brown, barack obama, angela mercel, and david cameron. The world is turning to trump, farage, putin ect. for a healthy dose of 200 milligrams a week of testosterone cypionate!
The status quo are pulling the race card because its all they got. They are probably hoping to inspire enough hostility in someone to shoot at Trump because otherwise he is going to win in a landslide they fear. He is leading and will lead bigger after the debates.
veganlife125... That's an interesting way of looking at the political world. One things for sure, most people admire strong leaders and our enemies fear them. That's a good thing.
Yea, you're an engineer alright. LOL!
Still waiting trump! Please release your taxes! What kind of business man are you, release your taxes. What are you hiding? Release your taxes! How much debt do you have, $300 million or $600 million? Show your taxes! What kind of factory jobs are you going to bring back when a lot of factories are automated or going automated.

I see all the clowns are out this weekend randomly throwing whatever they can get their paws on against a wall and hoping some of it sticks. Please don't ask this genius why Canadian born Ted Cruz is eligible to be president; it might short circuit their brain.
Seriously, do your really believe LP readers are stupid enough to believe or care about this?
First of all it's Fuddy not "Ruddy" and because Ann Dunham was born in the U.S., her children, regardless where you think they were born are Natural born citizens. And if you don't believe me, ask Ted Cruz.

"I see all the clowns are out this weekend randomly throwing whatever they can get their paws on against a wall and hoping some of it sticks. "
_______________________________________________________________________
Stack you are one sad individual, a megalomaniac, and the biggest hypocrite on this board.
I guess in your dysfunctional thinking process telling people, "Maybe you can't afford $7.95 a month", etc...ad nauseam are not personal attacks.
I am way past the point of thinking your a idiot, I am sure now. I don't consider using a backhoe to replace the shovel
a job killer. I also don't think that workers would be able to place billions of transistors on a integrated circuit board by
hand. Any process that can be automated should be automated. I don't think that you understand much of anything.
Production is the key to creating jobs. Lets see, a new company needs to ship it's product so this is good news for the
shipping companies. The companies that supply the shipping material might also need more employees to keep up with
demand. The new company also needs raw material which has to come from some where. The supply companies need
to hire additional workers our maybe the demand is great enough that another supply company would be needed.
This would also create more new jobs which would increase the need for product. Working people need to eat and if they
are not limited to food stamps they can buy products that food stamps can't. New workers also need to drive back and
forth to work, buy new cloths, shoes etc.. and the list goes on and on. Your small minded outlook betrays your intent.
Creating jobs means increasing product which trickles down to sometimes hundreds of other existing companies. When
more people are working they have money to buy more products which increases demand which increases the need for
even more product. Hilda like Obama will continue to convert the US into a welfare state where capitalism can't survive.
This will drop the living standard to 3rd world standards. Obama care is a prime example, steal from those who have
good jobs to provide for the lazy. I don't mind taking care of those who can't work but I don't want to support the lazy
in the process. The lazy are now getting medical care while the working class can't afford to get sick. I am not sure of
what Trump can do but I am sure that if Hilda continues Obama's agenda that we will continue in a downward spiral.
RL
Obama and the Clinton's are, and have milked the system. Oh they talk big ideas but most are bull$hit and
they are the only ones making money, well they and their close associates. Bill Gates introduced a new style
of crony capitalism and the common person has suffered ever since. More and more crony capitalist have joined
the party and some even say Trump is just another one. It may be so but I really think that he has come to a
moral crossroad where he feels he must give back. Anyone can change, but so many are making it as hard as
they can for him to do so. Maybe he deserves it but if it's a real conversion then it will endure all the attacks.
Hilda is as crooked as a snake and this leaves me with only two possible conclusions. #1, Supporters are blinded
by party loyalty or they are moral-less. On second though it could be both.
Unable or unwilling to abide by a moral standard relating to the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction
between right and wrong.

"There was the Obama birther issue, so at the beginning of the Republican debates they question Cruz' citizenship"
This is pretty funny stuff and calling the person posting it a clown isn't even criticizing ideas, it's laughing along with them. Oh, and you're confused because it was Trump not "they" questioning if Cruz who was born in Canada is eligible to run for POTUS. Do you think Trump was serious or just clowning around when he suggested Ted's dad was involved in the Kennedy assassination?
"Hillary questions Trump not having served."
You're still confused because several top Republicans and veteran groups condemned Trump for saying John McCain is no war hero. The VFW condemned him a second time for attacking a Gold Star Family. Can you show us where Hillary questioned Trump's flat feet, when he said "I always wanted a Purple Heart", or are you still clowning around?

That makes no sense unless you're trying to make us laugh at you.

Thanks. There used to be a member here named Rip Snorter. He had the best avatar ever for a while for a lottery board. It was Sisyphus.
I had to think about that one. Sisyphus rolling the ball...lottery ball?..up the hill time and time again. Wow! Very original and says a lot about lottery playing.
Huma's mother wrote a book and an article blaming the US for 9-11. Yet she does not realize the United States gave her the right to do this. If she had criticized her own country while living there, she would be dead.
Exactly.
Amen....well said
There are some reports that it could be Parkinson's.
But, yeah, she needs to disclose whatever the issue is. It looks serious enough to affect her ability to hold office.
I just don't understand how trump is going to save us. He wants to bomb the hell out of the enemy when we are fighting a different type of war. I think if we spread the wealth from the top down, things would be a lot different in the United States.
Trump release your taxes! Your post is total BS!
The broken record routine is getting very stale. Tax returns aren't going to change anyone's opinion.
And who was your second sentance directed at?
Bs was for your post! If trumps taxes are not going to change any votes, than trump should release his taxes.
I think it is heart or respiratory related.
If Hillary really is experiencing seizures and memory lapses, that would affect her ability to do the job. Shouldn't she clear the air on what's wrong with her?
I thought she released her medical records. I know that she released her tax returns.
Hillary, release your medical forms.
Over a year ago. At her age, a lot can change in a year.
And that would be total BS, Arizonadream. By the way, trump is not getting the asian, black, hispanic and college educated women votes = total lose for trump.
Blahahahahaha, I know where he's getting lots of Native American votes, hahahaha.
Trump is getting this college educated plus degreed woman's vote. Bawaaaaahaaaahaaaaaaaa
Yes he is, I am a woman, have a degree, and I'm a minority, so much for his theory.
I was reading toe fungus can do a lot of damage, I bet she has toe fungus.
Best find a hidey hole.
From trump -
By now, I expect Donald Trump, who wants to be our president, to voice whatever acerbic thought he has.
Natives Take to Streets in ABQ: ‘Why We Don’t Support Trump’
Some Native American groups in New Mexico are making it clear that they will not support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, citing the candidate’s bigotry and lack of experience in dealing with tribes.
Houska: Trump Burns Native Americans Again
On Monday, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump weighed in on the Washington team name. In an interview with theNew York Times,he gave his support for a dictionary-defined racial slur, and went on to say “I know Indians that are extremely proud of that name, they think it’s a positive.”
So Trump has an Indian friend and they think it’s okay. Gotcha.
Putting aside the anecdotal evidence of the friend that represents over five million Native Americans, Trump’s past interactions with Native Americans illustrate his understanding of the stereotypes that Native mascots perpetuate.
In 2000, he funded an advertising campaign that accused the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe of a long history of violent crimes and drug use. St. Regis was set to open a casino in New York’s Catskill region; the ad asked “Are these the new neighbors we want?” The tribe condemned it as a naked appeal to racism.
We have a real problem in this country. Normal hard working Americans call them "snowflakes".
Toe fungus? More like crotch rot. I bet she got drunk for the second time in her life (the first being the night Chelsea was conceived) and let Slick Willy have his way with her. (Of course, he was probably snot-slingin' drunk himself, would HAVE to be) He probably gave her a social disease and since she has an allergy to penicillin, that's the reason her nose isn't growing from all the whoppers she tells...it's being eaten away by syphilis at the same time. That probably explains her mental issues, seeing as how that form of VD also affects the brain.
bigbear.... Prove to me Hillary cares about people of color. In fact, prove to me obama cares about people of color. What did either of them do for blacks, hispanics or any other racial minority. I'm waiting. Trump hired and is hiring many minorities in his construction jobs, many of which make more than you ever dreamed of. LOL
Wow! Made more than me, not. There is already reports that trump under paid some of his minority employees or did not pay some of his contractors at all. He claimed bankruptcy and walked away. Release your taxes trump!
Call who snowflakes? Are you talking about native american indians?
Another copy and paste, cause this isn't you writing bigbear.
The Cherokee already denied her.
This link doesn't exist, try again.
I wonder if Todd put the word snip in there, may-not, but I will look.
Once again media bias, they only show the people who oppose it, which is not 5 million but a hand full of activists wanting attention and oh, money for speaking, writing and giving appearances.
Liberalism is running rampant, and the lobbyists who take advantage of poor undereducated people.
Lots of money out there for people to exploit Indians.
Sad, but nothing I can do about it.
I saw your article and they both have a problem.
Google: kim baca natives take to the streets
It should be the first article

The same "Clinton situation" is happening in Russia with Putin and his enemies >> Anti-Putin Journalist allegedly committed suicide. But we know it's not really suicide in Russia >> In Russia, it's Murder by the KGB, or someone related to the Russian Government.
This news report was taken from MSN: [It happened in the Ukraine, which was formally part of Russia.]
"A well-known Russian journalist and critic of President Vladimir Putin has been found dead in his Kiev apartment with a gunshot wound to the head. [on his Birthday]
The body of Alexander Shchetinin, founder the Novy Region (New Region) press agency, was found at his flat after friends tried to visit him on his birthday.
A police spokesperson said Kiev forces were alerted of Mr. Schetinin’s death at around midnight on Saturday. He is believed to have died a few hours earlier, between 8 and 9.30pm.
Officials have speculated that his death was caused by suicide, after a gun was found near his body along with spent cartridges, and the door to his apartment was said to be locked.
Local news source Kyiv Operatyvni reported: “Alexander was sitting on a chair with a gunshot wound to the head (under the chair was a gun).”
“Alexander was sitting on a chair, with a gunshot wound to his head, the gun was lying under the chair. According to credible sources, the case has been classified as suicide, as Alexander sent an email to one of his loved ones where he said he wanted to kill himself.”
Mr Shchetinin gave up his Russian citizenship before becoming a Ukrainian national and settling in the capital.
He set up the Novy Region news agency in.. and reportedly called the Russian president a “personal enemy”.
Ukrainian police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of Shchetinin’s death. "
Hillary called black people super predators. Can I post the definition of "predator"?
Predator... A person who looks for other people in order to use, control or harm them in some way.
Here's one way;
Immigration Expert: U.S. to Resettle Nearly One Million Muslim Migrants Under One Term of Clinton Presidency. http://tiny.iavian.net/c082
While Trump would deny sharia law in our country Hillary would welcome it.
Something else you really need to think about is that the radical muslims want you just as dead as they want the rest of us.
I don't know what's wrong, but she looks very ill in photos and videos. At best, maybe fatigue from the hypothyrodism. At worst, physically unfit for the job.
I am a woman with a college degree and I oppose Clinton. I would vote 3rd party, but that would be throwing away an anti-Hillary vote, so I have to go with Trump.

If it were not for people like Trump I think people like you would be living in the woods hunting squirrels and rabbits.
Some go for that sort of thing so don't think I am putting you down. If Hilda gets elected squirrels might become a
endangered species then what will you do. Trump does not have to build factories, just make the playing field evel
enough so that those who would, can. It's becoming very clear to me now, you want big government so that they
can take care of you. There are many places in the world where the people have surrendered their freedom and
independence over to government. Maybe you would feel better in one of those.
RL
I'm not impressed! Trump is not bringing factories jobs back to the usa. I too have spent most of my career in hi-tech from Silicon Valley to Oregon, state of Washington and Southern Ca.. trump is FOS!
Can't ya take a hint?
Someone has to buy Artist a month's Gold or Premium membership because I'm pretty sure they don't take EBT cards.
"you're real slick pimping for premium memberships but believe me your approach sure doesn't sell any."
Why don't you whine to Todd; "Stack should be reprimanded for suggesting that LP members upgrade their memberships"
Boo Hoo Hoo.
It's been quite a weekend, hasn't it?
Trust me, from experience they believe they can actually sway the election by posting stuff on LP and probably lots of other social media too.
"trump is FOS!"
If Trump keeps saying he's going to deport all the illegal from KY, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul will back Clinton.
"While Trump would deny sharia law in our country Hillary would welcome it."
You really are clueless about the Constitution.
Seriously, do you actually think anyone will believe that stuff?
Bigbear29
Are you a disgruntled ex factory worker replaced by automation or current trade with China?
If so you should vote Trump as your problems are most likely due to Obama and Hillary. I know
it hurts and must really burn your ass to know you voted yourself out of a job. Even a janitor
like yourself should be able to find a good job under Trump.
RL
Stack
Seriously, do you actually think Hilda will abide by the Constitution. What ever gave you that idea?
Stack
Who would ever of thought Obama and Hilda would support sanctuary cities where murderers, rapist,
etc.. could live without fear of justice. I often wonder why more is not done to stop illegal drug trade.
We have seen what they stand for. I guess Trump not releasing his taxes are a bigger concern to some.
I can't figure that one out either.
Clowns to the left, jokers to the right here I am, stuck in the middle with Trump.

New York Times feb 2009
The United States remains by far the world's leading manufacturer by value of goods produced.
It hit a record $1.6 trillion in 2007 - nearly double the $811 billion of 1987. For every $1 of value
produced in China factories, the United States generates $2.50.
Wonder what these stats are in 2016 after 8 years of Obama and Hilda?
RL
lol, too funny
Ask the British, the French and the Germans about massive muslim immigration.
Ever heard of Londonistan, no go zones?
Maybe you should just take a trip to Dearborn or certain parts of Minneapolis.
You are the one who is clueless.
As for whining to Todd about you pimping for premium memberships you sound like you're trying to get yourself a cut or just showing yourself to be a mooch.
Yep. Yep and Yep.
Maybe Artist doesn't want a premium membership. So what? If you're bothered by the Standard tag, why don't you
buy it instead of referring to EBT cards? You are impulsive. You do not think before you speak. Whatever hits your brain
comes out of your mouth, no barriers to break or holds barred.
Awhile back you suggested people get back on topic. You swung them off topic again not long after. Your snide, cutting,
sarcastic remarks are better suited to matches where you are sure they'll bring you out on top, here, they don't. They
bury you. You reduce yourself to a child with much of what you say, it's a tit for tat with you. And the blue highlighting
is something reminiscent of a second grader with a newly acquired skill of marking words with a 4 pack of florescent
mini markers...you have yet to use the green and orange selections.
Your are the bully on the playground sitting in the middle of the see-saw...or dragging his feet on the merry-go-round..
or sitting in the middle of the slide so people can't enjoy what they came there for...here, you clog up the posts, get the
last word in, refer to most people as idiots, use the little yellow guys...is that a show of something ridiculous or you laughing
because you think you got the upper hand? Bringing Todd into the mix when you behave like you do, is making him do a
little yellow rolling guy, I'm sure...but it's at you because I don't see anyone else here who needs that guy associated with
their post or comment.
When you're all alone sometime bored and with nothing running off your brain..go back over some of your posts...try responding
to what you write, how would you respond? With anger? With contempt? With regret? With pity? Remorse? Pride? I'd respond
to you with a mix of pity and exhaustion. Pity because you haven't grown up and exhaustion cause you're old news. You're the type
no one really has to respond to, you're just there. Like green and gold flies on poo in the park or mold on a deck or bug guts on a
windshield, you are about as insignificant as an old rotten tree that fell down in the woods. Maybe you can take your foot out of your
mouth sometimes before Todd directs it around the corner to your butt and boots you off.
Why don't you try and get back on topic? and stay there for a change? You remind me of the oaf type, lumbering around the threads
looking for some action and in his best goofy, low toned chuckle, laughs to himself at what he posts/says that no one finds funny but him.
No wonder that type doesn't have any friends, everyone thinks he's creepy.
By the way, who are you for in this 1,000 plus post subject of this thread? I don't even remember...that's how much of an impact you've
made here....all that stands out is meaningless keystrokes, following highlights in yellow and blue...you've reduced yourself to colors, nice
legacy.
I'm going to block you cause I'm actually sick of you. Besides, I know what you're going to say before you even say it, tell me you
won't be using the lame old highlighting techniques? Let me guess.....orange this time.....or pink??
Have you actually read the U.S. Constitution?
"I often wonder why more is not done to stop illegal drug trade."
Probably because of legislative priorities. Just look at the fiasco the Alabama legislators had simply trying to put a lottery incentive on their state ballot. Do you expect them to stop it in that state?
"I guess Trump not releasing his taxes are a bigger concern to some."
Right now lots of Republicans like Ann Coulter are more concerned about Trumps flip-flop on immigration. If the polls are completed wrong and it's going to be a very close, it might be a huge concern for the undecided voters believing Trump is hiding something.
"Ask the British, the French and the Germans about massive muslim immigration."
You were talking about decisions you think the two POTUS candidates might make "in our country" and now you're talking about Europe.
"While Trump would deny sharia law in our country Hillary would welcome it."
And that's why I highlight the portions of a post I'm commenting on.
"Maybe you should just take a trip to Dearborn or certain parts of Minneapolis. "
Been to the Henry Ford Museum and the Mall of America, what's your point?
"You are the one who is clueless."
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
It's really a shame I have to show you what the First Amendment says about religion. Article I of the Constitution clearly outlines which branch of the government makes the laws and the First Amendment clearly prohibits making certain religious laws. If Congress can't prohibit the free exercise of any religion, how could Trump deny the Laws of Moses, Sharia Law, or any other religious law?
Your ignorance of the Constitution is now embarrassing even the hard core Trump supporters.
I'll give you this, you Trump supporters are very passionate, but the statistical analysis is showing you're in the minority.
"I'm going to block you cause I'm actually sick of you."
We all know you're not really going to block me so why all the drama?

I'm not really a Trump fan...however I would't vote for Hildabeast w/ a gun pointed at my head !
Saw a funny tee-shirt that said
"1/20/17 the end of an error"
I certainly hope so !
"I'm not really a Trump fan...however I would't vote for Hildabeast w/ a gun pointed at my head "
That's been my point all along!
After the 2012 presidential election everybody knew Clinton was going to be the Democrat nominee, but after the Republican smoke cleared away, they nominated the one candidate that has a very difficult time at best winning in November. We have almost 70 pages of Clinton bashing, but can't find any creditable reason to vote for Trump.
Maybe you should read it to obama. Since he has no clue.
Stack,
I guess you missed the news about certain people in Congress (guess which party) think the Constitution is outdated and should be rewritten.
As for your highlighting in blue you may think what you want but for some of us it just proves you're out to be a pain in the keister.
From one post to the next you don't even realize what you previously said.....just a few posts ago you post the rule about personal attacks.
I believe you are genuinely in need of mental help and I'll no longer deal with a crazy person.
Have a nice life.
Oh really Jethro? No credible reason to vote for Trump? obama's making history! More millennials are now living with their parents since the 1880's! Gee, obama and Hillary are really looking out for the middle-class huh? Give me a break.
Thank you Dr65. What a great response! The mini markers line is classic.
As you have seen with "Stack of lies", he has serious mental health issues. I outed him when he tried to pass himself off as a legal scholar. Yet I am the employed one with a great job and career while he posts his rants at all hours. So he is left to come up with a sexist rant by categorizing a female as on welfare.
We had a member bounced from lp who used this tactic against women members. So he tries to control by ranting about membership which is solely a personal choice. Yet I have a home paid off, an 820 credit rating, and am active in my community. His claims and rants are a microcosm of the failings of the Democratic party.
