WTF is up with American politics?
No one says, "vote for me because I walk on water" or "I crap bigger than Billy Crystal" Hell no, all they say is "Vote for me because the other person is worst than I am"
I'm sick and tired of the negative campaigning and its never going to go away.
Help us.
"You Know My Name, Look Up the Number..."
You are surprisingly childish for an old man, old man.
I'm not entirely certain I'd actually vote for anybody who walked on water or crapped bigger than Billy Crystal. I'm actually quite confused why crapping bigger than Billy Crystal would be an asset to a President, but to each their own.
@jobo, you've garrote a point there.
And just like that, we're back to the question of whether or not Trump knows what wine to drink with his fish.
"The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is Blowin' in the Wind."
It's the only way I know of to play the harmonica.
Okay Trumpistas, how 'bout this? Please recognize that when you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mississippi-church-burned-vandalized-trump_us_5819ef95e4b01f610e393372
"When dogs run free then what must be
Must be, and that is all.
True love can make a blade of grass grow straight and tall."
"While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked"
I sort of accept what your saying, but can't you see that the illegal partition of Serbia/Kosovo and catastrophic and also essentially illegal invasion of Iraq make us appear parodies of hypocritical westerners when we start criticising Russia for seizing Crimea or propping up their clients in Syria.
We have no moral authority on which to base our criticisms of Russia. And besides, their actions are not just aggression for the sake of it - what Russia is doing is a direct response to decades of Western foreign policy arrogance and stupidity.
When we tried to topple the democratically elected president of Ukraine, we were engaging in highly aggressive and provocative behaviour. Russia's response was largely in self defence and not entirely unpredictable.
Ditto in Syria, we've been messing around, trying to invent a 'moderate' opposition, when most of those fighting the Syrian government are just shades of crazy Islamist nutjob. Russia is sick and tired of watching as we screw up the Middle East, one country at a time. Their assessment is that someone needs to end this horrific war, and that on balance the majority of people of Syria are better off under the ruthless but secular Assad regime than they are under ISIS, Al Quaeda or any other bunch of extremist loons.
Sadly it has to be acknowledged that Clinton is heavily implicated in the largely disastrous US foreign policy of the last couple of decades. She supported the invasion of Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and has been an advocate of toppling the government in Syria. Her track record does not actually bode well for the future if she is president - we can expect more reckless and arrogant foreign policy blunders.
I don't want to see a Trump presidency, and think it would be tragic for the US in terms of its domestic politics. Trimp would sow division and hate within the US itself, as he's already been doing. However, for the wider world, I wonder if Clinton isn't actually the bigger threat.
I don't really disagree with anything you just posten... apart from the fact that I think Trump is as big a threat internationaly. With Hillary you at least get the impression she is coldblooded, reflected and would think twice before launching full scale war, not to mention the fact that she at least understands the mechanisms of what's going on in the middle east. Trump on the other hand is clueless, likely to act on instinct and impulse, and those are the instincts of a violent bigot.
What a great assessment of things.
Yes, Hillary is the greater threat for outside the US. Very much so.
I fear the worst in terms of future US foreign policy politics.
It's almost grotesque how Trump gets painted in blackest of black pictures with possible nuclear war and such, when it is Clinton we should be afraid of in that regard.
Having said this, I am not endorsing Trump in any way. For the US itself he would be much worse than Clinton.
... he said before Trump was elected & decided to drop a nuke on Iran & the cloud drifted north to Switzerland... :-O
=D> And there is a lot more to it and America Looks Bad in all of it. Its so far Remonde from the white Knight some still See it, its scary.
Trump would go to war because somebody insulted him on Twitter. Clinton would go to war if she saw no other option to solve a problem. He's not any better for those outside the US than he is for those inside the US.
You really believe this would be a realistic scenario. Because of a tweet the US going to war. Have you so little faith in congress and the politicians that will surround a President Trump?
It's not like in the movies where a President just has to push a red button....
Clinton on the other hand can be very manipulative and therefore persuading. She actually reminds me more and more of Dick Cheney.
But Clinton's track record clearly shows us that she is one of the major global advocates of war as a foreign policy tool. She backed the wars in Iraq, Libya and helped arm extremist rebels in Syria. Her fingerprints are all over the wreckage of the Middle East. She has repeatedly advocated and supported the use of military power when diplomatic or peaceful alternatives were available. To this day can anyone really say that the Iraq war was necessary of justified in any way? No, but Hillary backed George W to the hilt.
By contrast the accusations that Trump is a trigger happy warmonger are based on little or no evidence at all. That's mainly because he's not a politician and has never had to make any life or death decisions, but still...
Of all the Posts of recent, this is the saddest in its naivite. Clinton is continuing what Obama is doing, which means she will Continue to destabilize the East and threaten Russia, which is doing everything Right now to get Peace. Syria is as much the US playing their Game. Its all about Gas, for Christs Sake. If it wasnt for that, Peace would have eben allowed there for a Long Time or war Even Never started. Sometimes I am really scared by how Little People here Seem to know the backgrounds. Bondjames, Thunder and Getafix Seem to get it though. Dont you guys EVER try to Look behind the curtain? You Follow the Media like nice Little sheep and take in what they Tell you. And yes, Trump is right. The election is gonna be rigged, als the Elite needs Clinton in the saddle. If you Follow their rules, all is good, If Not, you get Shot. You could say, they sell their souls for the power, they imagine, they still have. Even though its an illusion, but a nice one in their eyes. They only Follow orders.
Trump supported and advocated the wars in both Iraq and Libya. No difference there.
There is a big difference between bluster, a few off the cuff remarks on Howard Stern and election sloganeering vs. actual deeds (in the form of politically expedient and yet disastrous Senate votes and actual catastrophic decisions made as Secretary of State).

If you don't want to watch all of it then I encourage you to at least watch from 5:00 to 14:00. I am in complete agreement with Barrack on the issues and have mentioned them here earlier. He is on the money with his assessment.

Dershowitz has lost all credibility. He defended OJ, for crying out loud. The man has lost it.
As for turning over all devices, we're not talking about a device that belonged to HRC. Right? So that doesn't apply to her.
My guess is that almost all, if not ALL, of the emails the FBI finds will be ones they have reviewed already.
A false equivalency.
What is your view on Petry, I wonder?
For the world, Trump is a bigger threat than he is within the US (although he can do plenty of damage here--appointing theocratic judges to appease the religious right, for one). Do you really think Trump has the attention span or intelligence to engage in multiparty talks with North Korea, or Iran, or China, or any country? No.
Trump is basically an overgrown child. Not a "successful businessman" nor "master of the deal." He and his siblings inherited half a billion dollars from their father--it's pretty hard to **** that up, although he's done a pretty good job of doing just that (cf. his tax return losses).
