  • This shit is really pissing me off. I hate Hillary, and am still on the fence about Trump, but she seems to be pushing hard for people to go to Trump. She is putting out the biggest lies in her TV ads, and everything she and her surrogates say, makes me change the channel while flipping them off.

    • Did you see the weenie from her campaign on TV asking for the debate moderator to call Trump on his lies? He was saying that it wasn't fair for her to have to remember her debate points and his lies at the same time. Seems like grandma is having memory problems. Makes me wonder if she will be able to remember where the bathroom is in the middle of the night, and not go pee in the Lincoln Bedroom.

      • They're doing all they can. Hillary will have a larger special podium so Trump will not have a height advantage. With the added height to her podium they had better add handrails and fall prevention guards.

        • Her Majesty's handlers will have to strap Her to the podium, with knee braces to prevent buckling, and maybe a strip of foam padding on Her forehead in case She pitches a fit.

  • Who is ready to see and hear the report on CNN and all the rest next summer that goes something along these lines:

    'Today madam president Clinton nominated Eric Holder to be the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after Judge Roberts' surprising retirement last week.

    It is expected that the Senate will handily approve Holder for the job as they did in January for her first appointee Barack Obama, who filled the seat left vacant by the Republicans who would not allow his nominee to fill the seat of the late Antonin Scalia.'

    Anyone?

    • That just might push some retired SEAL over the edge, and cause him to take out Hitlery and the entire SC.

  • FBI documents released 23 September 2016 say president Obama used a pseudonym when he emailed secretary of state Clinton on her illegal email server.

    But in October 2015 the president denied knowledge of the existence of the illegal server on 60 Minutes. His lie begins at about the 0 second mark in this video clip.

  • Don't know if anyone else has read this story:

    To be honest, Trump caught lying is about as surprising as Obama getting caught lying. It happens so often, you can't even get excited about it anymore. But this one shows exactly how dishonest and unscrupulous Trump is, that he would tell such a bald-faced lie in the middle of a presidential debate and, in effect, call another candidate a liar in the process.

    • Weird and disappointing. Trump comes out with another list of potential SC choices which means he didn't really stick by the first list, right? But Cruz thinks he means the second list? Based on what? Trump has never--NEVER--stood by anything he's ever said, so why is this second list any more meaningful than the first list? Mike Lee, one of the ten new names on Trump's new list and a friend of Ted Cruz, has already said hell no, so apparently Trump didn't really do much research on this, or just added that name as window dressing.

      When push comes to shove on the Supreme Court, Trump has made if very clear he has no understanding of the Constitution whatsoever. He wants stop and frisk, which is hardly under the purview of the president in the first place and has also been ruled unconstitutional in his own state. He wants to "punish" companies that move out of the country, which sounds like some sort of tinpot dictator. And he's said a boatload of other things that are blatantly unconstitutional.

      And Cruz mentions Obamacare. Are you kidding me? Trump has already said he favors the same mandated federal coverage that Obamacare has! For crying out loud, it's not the name that's the problem, it's the idea!

      Sheesh. I guess the Washington mind sucking aliens finally got Ted Cruz.

      • Ah c'mon JP, have some faith in your guy. I know you're against Trump. I know he says things one day then seems to switch it around the next day, or perhaps modify them, but you have to have some faith that he won't be ANYTHING like Hillary; we Trump supporters do. I don't agree with everything he says, like his comments about the Tulsa officer for example. He jumped the gun on that. But I also know there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we'll never know, stuff that could influence the reasons why people say or believe certain things, such as why Cruz endorsed Trump. Here's something a cousin of mine said recently, might make you pause and reflect: "I have no idea what kind of President Trump would be but I will take my chances with him over the politics that has been ruling this country for decades."

        • I understand the "he's better than Hillary" argument. I'm just not sure he is and I'm also not sure that's good enough to earn my vote. Somehow, call me a silly idealist, I think my country should be able to nominate a person with more qualifications than "he's better than Hillary." Did you ever wonder what was in the minds of all those Iraqis who used to go to the polls and give Saddam Hussein 99% of the vote? Did they ever say to themselves, "We should be able to do better than this"? Did they ever wonder what happened to the system and consider refusing to participate? I'm in that other Iraqi 1%. I refuse to participate. Clearly something is wrong with the system. Democracy isn't working. It hasn't worked in a quarter century at least. It's a joke. Mindlessly plodding into the polling booth every four years and voting for the lesser of two evils isn't cutting it. And as long as people keep doing that, the system will never get fixed.
