It is pure idiocy to support a man simply because he is outspoken, or says popular things, or has mastered the art of titillation. Have you people forgotten Chris Christie??
— Stephanie says, “People are rallying behind him not because they agree with him, but merely because they find him to be the most truthful.” About … what truth?? The man vacillates between whatever “truth” is the most popular.
— Sensetti thinks the guy is great because he’s rich … as if that’s a legitimate marker.
— Starfcker likes him because Trump is supposedly different; — “I’ve argued for six months, trump is our UKIP, our five star, our national front. Someone’s got to do the dirty work. You wouldn’t hire a choir boy to break kneecaps. It’s gonna take a real bull.”
— Other people like Trump because he is “not them”. “Them” being all the other rich, deceitful, lying fucks running for POTUS. No, The Donald is “different” in this alternate universe!
— Several people have become single issue voters, and love Trump’s illegal immigration stance, and to hell with everything else … even if it means more loss of liberty, as long as we’re “safe” from the brown taco-munchers crossing our southern border.
— Lastly, there are a certain segment of you, such as goofyfoot, who says – “How much worse could Trump be compared to President Zero and the First Grifter family?”. To which I shake my head in disbelief and where I want to scream out; “Are you fucking kidding me???!! You really don’t think it can get worse????”. Apparently, these scholars have never heard of Adolph, Josef, or Mao.
Here’s a typical Trumpeteer Worship Meeting. I wonder if the fawning bimbo realizes that in a Nov. 1992 interview in New York magazine Mr. Trump said about women; — “You have to treat ’em like shit.”
It’s all emotional bullshit because what one hardly ever reads about from these Trumpeteer Marionettes is an actual discussion about Trump on the issues. It’s more important to squeeze out yet another orgasmic fountain of joy because he threw out some Univision reporter; “Oh, look! Isn’t zee Donald just Wunderbar!!”
Screw that. So, let’s look at what The Donald believes …. by his own words. And, although I can, I will not spoon-feed you links to his quotes. If you think I’m lying, look up the quotes yourself. You might actually learn something about the Donald in the process.
=================================================== =
THE POLICE STATE: —- “…. we have to give power back to the police, because we have to have law and order. We have to give strength and power back to the police.”. He absolutely loves the Department Of Homeland Security. It will be the centerpiece of his immigration policy, and will become more onerous and evil than ever. This is how crazy it will get. Earlier this month, the National Zoo’s female giant panda gave birth to twin cubs. He called them “anchor babies”. I’m not kidding, and neither was Donald. He asked the National Zoo to turn over the twin cubs to the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) so that they can be deported back to China. “We have to equally enforce our immigration laws. We should treat animals in the same way we treat humans. We should not allow people or animals to abuse our immigration system by coming to the United States and having babies.” Deporting anchor pandas …. God help America!!
THE MILITARY: — Openly states that we must have American troops on the ground in Iran, Iraq, and the “Islamic State” in parts of Syria and Iraq. Way back in 1987 on Meet The Press, he said we should use the firing of a single bullet as a reason to invade Iran, seize its oil, and “let them have the rest” of their country. Proudly stated this past August 10th on Morning Joe –— “I am the most militaristic person there is.” If that doesn’t convince you that America’s endless wars will not cease under his administration, then I don’t know what will. But, he’s not militaristic when it comes to himself. He avoided the Vietnam draft by claiming a medical exemption …. bone spurs.
KILLING WHISTLE-BLOWERS: —- “I think Snowden is a terrible threat, I think he’s a terrible traitor, and you know what we used to do in the good old days when we were a strong country — you know what we used to do to traitors, right?”
GUNS: —- “I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun”
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT: — To reduce federal debt Trump said the federal government should directly loot the bank accounts of private citizens ….. he said it would be a “one-time tax”, yeah whatever —— and would only affect the very rich. Yeah, right. That’s the standard procedure for oppression of everyone’s rights, sooner or later. First, soak “the rich”, and when that inevitably fails, then they come after YOU.
YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS: — You better hope your home isn’t on some land Trump wants to develop. Trump used eminent domain to seize an elderly widow’s Atlantic City home in order to build a limousine parking lot for his clients. “Everybody coming into Atlantic City sees that property, and it’s not fair to Atlantic City and the people. They’re staring at this terrible house instead of staring at beautiful fountains and beautiful other things that would be good.” Good for The Donald, not so good for the old lady.
THE FREE MARKET: — The Donald is a pure statist, through and through. Has zero problems with using the government to prop up corporations, including banks. Advocated for TARP. Said the Big Three auto companies should NEVER be allowed to fail. “You cannot lose the auto companies” Clamored for a government takeover of healthcare in the 1990s …. “We must have universal health care”
ECONOMY: — Trump promises to be “the greatest jobs President that God has ever created.” Of course, we have no fucking clue how he will do this. Maybe you Trumpeteers can help out .. not with YOUR ideas but, actual quotes from your hero, cuz I can’t find a single quote of substance. Don’t believe me? Check out The Donald’s latest video just released. No substance, 100% pure bullshit. But, I bet it makes you Trumpeteers feel all goooood and fuzzy inside. “Murika! Hell yeah!!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nKqCEuv5c6M
FREE TRADE: — The Plan: slap tariffs on everyone you don’t like, and hire smart people. Problem solved!! “Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people but we have people that are stupid. We have people that aren’t smart, and we have people that are controlled by special interests, and it’s just not gonna work.” And, “I have lobbyists that can produce anything for me, they’re great.” Wants a 35% tax at the Mexican border, a 20% tax on all imports from anywhere, and promises to repatriate all “jobs stolen by China” with a heavy tax on Chinese goods … amount yet to be determined. No nation will retaliate and everything will be A-OK.
TAKING OIL FROM OTHER COUNTRIES: — Trump on the O’Reilly show; — “To the victor belongs the spoils. So when we go to Iraq, we spend $1.4 trillion so far and thousands of lives are lost, right? And not to mention all the poor guys and gals with one arm and no arm and all the facts, right? You stay and protect the oil and you take the oil and you take whatever is necessary for them and you take what’s necessary for us and we pay our self back $1.5 trillion or more. We take care of Britain, we take care of other countries that helped us and we don’t be so stupid.”
ISRAEL: — Netanyahu will get a four year long blowjob from the Donald. I don’t know to what degree we are controlled by Israel, but whatever it is, it will ONLY INCREASE. If the Donald is elected president, the United States will have its first Jewish daughter in the White House. X-ray scanners will reveal the status of penises, and only those who have snipped the dick will be allowed entrance into the Holy of Holies.
THE CONSTITUTION & THE FED: — Not enough data. Go ahead and do a search “Donald Trump quotes about the Constitution”. Bupkus! You won’t find a single Ron Paul-ish article anywhere, or even any quotes. It’s as if he doesn’t care about the Constitution, or even knows anything about it. The same with The Fed. One can safely assume that hopes about abolishing the Fed, or even auditing it, are off the table. Trump will maintain that status quo … if not increase the power of The Fed since the Donald is at heart a Big Government guy who thinks he can control everything by simply issuing commands. Not to mention The Great Unknown: to what extent is Trump and his vast wealth beholden to banks? Who “owns” whom??
SUPPORTING SCUMBAGS —- Trump has spent a big fortune supporting and/or buying-off a Who’s Who of American Scum; Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Joe Biden, John McCain, Newt Gingrich, Charlie Rangel, Ed Rendell, Rahm Emanuel, Karl Rove’s SuperPAC American Crossroads, and over $100,000 to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation. Negotiation skills are pretty easy when it basically consists of buying off people.
“I’M RICH!!”: — Sure, compared to us. BUT … he’s “only” ranked as 414th richest man in the Forbes 2015 Richest People list! They estimate his net worth at about $4.2 billion …. a far cry from his braggadocio claims of being worth $10 billion. And a far cry from Bill Gate’s net worth of about $80 billion. And THAT’S who people like Trump compare themselves to … others, like themselves. And Trump barely makes a ripple in a room full of billionaires. With an ego as large as his, that probably eats away at him. Therefore, I call into question the whole meme that Trump isn’t in it for the money, or that he can’t be bought. You just wait and see. If Trump gets elected, he will leave office much richer, as he gets laws passed that benefit HIM. A thinking person should question if Trump’s motives are to “make America great again” or, if he just wants to enrich himself. Lastly, his exaggerated claims regarding his wealth just point to him being yet another Liar-In-Chief. But, as Americans, we’re used to that by now after eight years of Oreo, aren’t we?
PERSONAL LIFE: — Trump’s family values include years of keeping a mistress, Marla Maples, and who, after not having marital relations with his wife for more than 16 months, flew into a rage, tore hair from her head, and violated her sexually. Abandoned his daughter with Maples, providing financial support, and nothing else. Beyond any shadow of a doubt it is a known fact that he has mob connections … and has a documented history of cheating workers and vendors, and skirting the law via bribes and payoffs.
.
Now, just in case you think I’m of the opinion that The Donald is all bad ….
IMMIGRATION: — He is 100% correct regarding the problem of illegal immigration. But, his solution to rounding up the millions already here will turn this country into even more of a Police State. His belief that we can force Mexico to pay for a fence is patently fucking insanely absurd. Even more insane is the belief that a fence would be effective … unless one is willing to plant thousands of land mines, and willing to execute border hoppers. But, even land-mines didn’t keep East Germans from fleeing. It’s also a shame that some people are too goddamned stupid to understand that what keeps some people OUT, keeps even more people (YOU!!) in, and that you’re halfway to an entire nation imprisoned. Up next? Fence out Canada to complete the prison. And, you’re ignorant as hell if you think that’s impossible, forever. Even when Trump rightfully identifies a problem, his solution to the problem is childish.
ENVIRONMENT: — Trump has called Globull Warming “bullshit”.
EDUCATION: — “Common Core has to be ended. …. It’s a disaster.” And, “Cut the Department of Education way, way down.”
DRUGS: — He’s in favor of legalizing drugs and using tax revenue to fund drug education. I guess SSS won’t vote for him. Nevertheless, in his tolerance, he fired a Miss USA crown winner due to her drug over-indulgence.
.
OK, YOUR TURN!! — I know why you like Donald. He’s a rich celebrity, and Americans just loooove their celebrities. Just check out all the Trash Rags at your grocery checkout line. You love his claim that he can’t be bought, even if it’s probably a lie. You love his image of the White Knight riding to the rescue, a real Marlboro Man hero. You love his bombastic in-your-face persona, even though you surely know in your heart that national and international politics aren’t effectively conducted that way. And, you absolutely love his entertainment value …. as do I. But, is that all you got?? Surely, you have something of substance to convince us doubters that he is worthy of occupying the White House. I’ll be waiting ….
NOW THAT YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE THE DONALD STANDS ON THE ISSUES ….. WHERE WOULD YOU PLACE HIM ON THIS CHART?
MY CONCLUSION: — While Mr. Trump is on the correct side on a few issues, it doesn’t make up for his being on the wrong side in so many others. In the above chart, The Donald is clearly on the far left side on almost all issues. In other words, he is no different than the Same Old Crap Sandwich you’ve been fed for decades now. Yet, you Trumpeteers believe he’s The Great White Hope. Yeah, well, hope in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up faster.
Both his words and actions prove his rejection of the free market and a propensity for confiscating wealth and placing it in the hands of corporate elites and government bureaucrats. But, key to me is that he has no respect for individual rights. His non-existent stance for the Constitution is extremely problematic. Whether he has any adherence to liberty and justice is questionable at best considering his support of the most vile politicians in the nation, while running around with mobsters. This is no reformer!
People say a politician’s moral life is of no consequence in leading a nation. This ignores the fact that a politician’s life is consumed with making DECISIONS, and what a man (or, woman) chooses is largely based on that person’s character. It is impossible to make decisions in a moral vacuum. The fact that Trump’s personal life has been one comprised by one immoral decision after another — including three marriages, infidelities, and four bankruptcies — indicate to me that he does not have the qualities of being an effective humble public servant. Rather, he possesses a tremendous ego and a disturbing lust for power. Why can’t people see this? You who say he can’t be worse than the crap we’ve had with the evil Troika of Bush(es), Clinton, and Obama, please stop kidding yourselves. This man possesses an extraordinary damage potential, worse than you’ve ever seen, if he ever directly wielded the power of the presidency.
In a March 1990 Playboy interview Mr. Trump said; — “I know what sells and I know what people want.” The Donald is still using that strategy in 2015, and he’s playing you Trumpeteers for fools.
Look, if you guys want to elect someone who squints a lot and says stupid shit, may I suggest you consider David Puddy? He’s not as rich, but he’ll do far less damage to this country.

Most liberaltarians would rather vote for hillary. What”s your point?
Here’s my problem with rand paul, all you libbies. Moment of truth for him was two years ago when he campaigned for mitch mcconnell. Mcconnell is one of the biggest political problems we have. Pure scum. I get the kentucky thing, but still, rand should be smart enough to know that dude will never help him. His best play, were he a leader, would have been all out attack. Now he wants a bigger job? Ain’t cut out for it.
Wow, make a big enough stink about someone and people will become interested. Now I am really worried.
I would vote or Trump just to piss off Stuck. Plus, Trump, no matter what else, is way more fun than the other assholes.
procrastinater says:
“I would rather vote for Hilary then Donald ..”
I don’t think that a single cell in my body would allow me to vote for Hitlery! I’d rather slide down a mile long razor blade into a pool of alcojol (<<<Mexican spelling) than vote for that evil witch.
Llpoh, who else could go to a rally in alabama in a red trucker hat, and match it with diamond cufflinks and white golf shoes? Evil genius, indeed
Irrespective of who eventually gets “The Top Job”, it will be interesting to see what they actually do (in comparison to what they “say” they will do in the hunt for votes), assuming that the final result has not already been decided on your behalf by your “betters”.
As a rough guess –
Hillary – probably WW3; reading between the lines Madame seems to have a BIG axe to grind . . . . Maybe she’ll have Bill publicly executed for “Crimes against the State” 🙂
JB – Same as Hillary – without the Bill Public Execution. Both have the necessary connections, and will reliably do the bidding of those behind the scenes.
Donald T – Is there any REAL difference? Comes across at this early stage in the “process” as quite the “Little Hitler”, so not much difference between the three. Like Hillary, one is left with no doubt that power (and money) are major motivators – so DT may well prove as toxic to the US People as DDT was to your wildlife.
Seems a crap “choice” all round. We wish you the best of luck, since with current developments re. China dumping UST’s – you might be needing it . . . . . . .
Practice your mandarin, phil. You’ll be needing it before we will.
Wow. Currently at 38,331 reads on Zero Hedge. And the rating increased to 3.2 !!!! Admin’s reputation may not be ruined, after all.
(EC — no big deal … just a minor misunderstanding)
Sorry Stuck. I didn’t even send it to them. I was busy all night drinking $2.50 pitchers of beer at the Shamrock.
They really need to note the proper author.
What HSF said 27 Aug @ 1:17 pm x 10 to the 78th power, which is the lower estimate for the number of atoms in the known universe.
Trump scars the living beejesus outta me and here’s why.
Once you get past the “in your face, sit down, shut up” to the SJWs/MSM/libs/assholes, which I and apparently millions of other people are enjoying immensely, he stands for nothing besides Donald Trump.
He is one of the 0.1% of the 0.1% who got there by: 1) his Daddy’s money, no problem there, and, 2) manipulating what we all see is a hopelessly corrupt system. He openly admits it and people cheer!
Does anybody believe that he will do anything but increase the power and wealth of the oligarchs that have a stranglehold on our country?
He is playing on the resentments and sense of betrayal of the Republican base, which may be measured in the same scale as the number of atoms in the universe referenced above, and, WHICH IS GONNA PROPEL THIS GUY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
He IS gonna be POTUS, because in this stage of American’s Decline, we don’t deserve anything better.
We are somewhere along the same stage as the Roman Empire when Caligula made his horse a Consul.
And the name of that horse?
Incitatus.
Hmmm, and what is Trump doing? INCITING all kinds of stuff, some good, some bad.
You just can’t make this shit up.
And the other point about the Caligula-Incitatus story is that Caligula was making the point that the post of Consul was so meaningless that even an animal could do it.
Which is a point that could be made about any branch of the fed.gov currently.
So go ahead, elect Trump with whatever hapless fool that joins the ticket, knock yourself out.
Nero and his fiddle will be along soon.
I’m calling bullshit… no honest libertarian would ever vote for Hillary under any circumstances.
Step,I apologize if I repeated A few words of something you wrote.I can assure you it was a coincidence, as I rarely read your posts.Further google it, hardly unique, try and work on not being so petty. It does not suit you, have a great day
To “Hope@ZeroKelvin” :
The Roman Empire was at the peak of its power in the 1st century AD when Caligula ruled. They still had 400 years until their final collapse. We will not be so lucky.
Hilarious,
6 Years of pandering to hate and racism by the wacko right for personal political gain.
6 years of do nothing but stoke fear of “the other” and block the government form doing ANYTHING (100s of $millions$ spent on witch hunts and denying this president legitimacy)… while the white, religious, non critical thing base seen worshiping the Donald above, are beside themselves as their hate filled views are legitimized by the leaders of their political party.
And now you wash your hands of the logical (oh, now I get it) conclusion… bat shit crazy rises to the top in a glorious crescendo of unintended consequences.
Seems “they” were right… you can’t fix cretinism!
Well, there is one thing that can clearly be stated and agreed upon here:
Stucky is the King of Starting Shitfests!
And now some quick reply’s to some of the overnight shit slinging:
IraK: Please tell me you were writing satire.
…and please tell me the six people who gave you thumbs up were all having brain embolisms at the time. 1) INCREASE power to the copfuks 2) INCREASE arbitrary bombing of brown people at the whims of MIC 4) KowTow more to Israel??? In general (all other points) INCREASE the POWER of the STATE????????? It are posts like these that make me despair the species.
Also, clearly, HSF’s post was the highlight. I would like to expand on it, if I may:
His writing is beautiful and eloquent as usual, but I persoanlly take it as several different posts in one…or a better way to look at it…HSF has the rare and wonderful ability to affect multiple perspectives simultaneously and, even rarer, to express them beautifully in prose.
First, he accurately notes that Trump’s presence is HUGE, but not because of the man, but more because he is a SYMBOL. He is the first person to be front-and-center on the political stage in decades to actually speak his mind. It doesn’t matter what spews out of it, it only matters that its genuine. That is both refreshing and potentially game-changing. Trump’s presence shines a light on the cracks in the system. People have been listening to psuedo-debate and soundbite campaigns and PC BS for SO long, that to hear something genuine on the political stage is like ice-water on the face…a wake up call to the slumbering masses.
Second, is a scathing and honest account of where we stand culturally. He does not separate himself from it (always uses “we) and if anyone here could genuinely say he is not part of our cultural decay it is HSF.
Third, there is a lament about where we are as a culture, even as a species, versus where we COULD be, if we could just be all be a little better to each other. A lament I share completely–while at the same time recognizing that it will not happen any time soon and quite possibly never. We are a very flawed species to be sure.
Fourth, there is the practical, what can we (as individuals) actually do? People (including myself) ask this type of question here all the time…well, here it is:
“The only options are to leave, to remain but go Galt, to embrace the system and take what you can from it, to openly oppose it and take your chances or to fight it clandestinely.”
That’s it, folks. Perfectly and pithily laid out. These are the ONLY basic choices. Please note “reforming the system” “enacting better laws” “voting for the right people” etc. are NOT present. We MUST first abandon the old “solutions” before we can search for new, workable ones.
DRUD
The IraK persona ALWAYS writes with irony and satire in mind. Always.
Ok…I was unaware. That does make me feel better.
SRV,
Are you one of the douchenozzle fucknuts that typically roll into TBP once a post goes viral or are you just a retard that decided to bust his cherry with stooopidass comments bemoaning all the racism the poor HNIC has had to deal with?
If you were being satirical, well played sir but if you’re serious then go fuck yourself with a barbed-wire baseball bat.
if you’re serious then go fuck yourself with a barbed-wire baseball bat …. and after that go suck a diseased donkey dick
There, that’s better.
Fucky ,just popped in to say you still don’t get what all this Trump support is about do you dumcuck?… but then there’s a lot of other shit you don’t get as well….
Immigration is being weaponized.
Those same U.S. policymakers are actively working to inundate the U.S. with millions of migrants from Mexico and Central America, another imperial playground, on the flimsy basis of a Barack Obama Executive Order. Eager for a youthful, docile, dependent and cheap population of worker bees, the U.S. federal government is now engaged in draining the last wealth of the American middle class for use in settling and supporting many millions of immigrants, whose children will become the future taxpayers and voters the grotesquely obese federal government requires for its own future survival.
At last then, the long-sought weapons of mass destruction have been located. We can see them clearly now: They are Africa’s and the Middle East’s desperate and dispossessed migrants, and Central America’s young and unwitting illegals, of “the free world’s” creation, and they are on the move.

Immigration is the only issue.
Trump, is the 500 megaton weapon of Cuck destruction.

Now I’ll let you return to your regular programmed circle jerk of “I feel”
Here’s another for Cucky to curl his turd polishing lips over.
Regardless how you feel about Trump, he is the only reason the third world invasion of the USA is even is being discussed.

Welcome back flash.
Admin, thanks.I just stopped in to put a rag on Stuck’s perpetual menstrual cycle. Maybe if he had more cock and less boob his excessive bleating might be more controllable.
BTW, the vid above didn’t load so I’ll repost it.
I’ve never been a fan of Ann Coulter , but as of late she rocks and just proves the only man amongst Republican punditry is a woman
.
…
Pretty fun thread. But at the end of the day, don’t forget the good. Trump will win a landslide election, 40 states +. His mandate is to fix immigration and trade, and restore the rule of law. Every trace of obama hits the trashpile. Obamacare, disparate impact, the clinton foundation. Gone. We win
“Very interested in your pamphlet on flat tax rates”.
Hilarious.
Am owning up to saying I liked the fact that Trump was “NOT THEM.” However, I never thought he had a snowball’s chance in global warming summer in New York of actually making a difference in what is going to happen in this country.
However, after reading your comments and looking at the videos, I don’t like the fact that he’s NOT THEM.
I just hate everybody again.
Damn it.
Trump sounds great. However, he talks out of his ass and backs it up with a few billion dollars. TBP’ers be careful. Do not attribute to Trump virtues which he does not possess. he is lying about religion. His religious beliefs are no matter me but that makes him a LIAR just like Hillary.
Stucky on occasion has interesting things to say. Seeing the Donald’s quotes cataloged has some meaning into Donald’s thinking. We too often forget and only remember what he said on Fox News two hours ago.
Steph, my millennial babe, the reason that Donald is so high up in the polls and embraced by so many is two fold. First, he’s telling the sheeple what they want to hear. People are sick of the political ‘same ole, same ole’ realizing that something is badly out of whack and want change. Donald’s seeming candor and attacks resonate with people. He’s telling people what they want to hear. Reminiscent of another Ass**le that said, “Change you can believe in”, “The most transparent administration”.etc,etc..I wonder what ever happened to him???
Secondly, the MSM is giving so much coverage to Donald, it make me wonder what that’s all about. In a nation that considers deep thinking to be 10 sec sound bytes, one wonders whether all this media attention might have ulterior motives. As FDR said, “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” So, be wary and look behind the curtain or be duped like you were in 2008.
Regarding the current administration, P. J. O’Rourke said, “The good news is that, according to the Obama administration, the rich will pay for everything. The bad news is that, according to the Obama administration, you’re rich.” So, who ever get elected reach for the Vaseline and wipe that smile off your face.

Can’t say I missed you, fag boy. Hope you don’t stay too long.
starfcker–40 states + you say??? It’s the Electoral College that chooses the prez. Have I got that right?
“The United States Electoral College is the institution that elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years.” –Wikipedia So much for trusting the popular vote. And you say you have a say in who’s going to be prez. lol
“Stucky on occasion has interesting things to say.” ——- Homer
Blow me, asshole.
Homer, didn’t say a thing about the popular vote. Look at reagan, elected with 44 states, re-elected with 49. Electoral college and all.
Trump on “guns”:
“Donald Trump says the fatal shooting of two journalists on live television should not be seen as another example of America’s problem with gun violence.
“This isn’t a gun problem — this is a mental problem,” Trump said on CNN’s “New Day” on Thursday, a day after WDBJ-TV reporter Alison Parker and her cameraman, Adam Ward, were killed in Virginia by a gunman who was fired from the station in 2013. “It’s not a question of the laws. It’s really the people.”
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=230604
Is Stucky having a senior moment? You”re not so egotistical to think that everything you say is interesting do you? I didn’t think so. But on this occasion, this post, presenting Donald’s quotes was interesting and makes one think. How does that rate “Blow me, asshole.”?
Like Donald, we are known by the bytes we write.
Immigration is the only issue. Trump knows it. As for his other positions, Trump knows perfectly well that he is blowing hot air on most of them in the certain knowledge that most Americans are too stupid to understand the issues. I have known many of these other politicians and I can tell you that Trump stands head and shoulders above all of them, for various reasons. In any case, he is the last chance we have. Elect a Jeb Bush or Clinton and we are finished. Full stop.
Trump is a sincere patriot and, no, he does not give a shit what whiners and Domestic Enemies like Democratic Party supporters think. Either he wins or we are done for.
“You”re not so egotistical to think that everything you say is interesting do you?” —- Homer
Yes, I am. EVERYTHING I post is INTERESTING, without exception, for I am the most interesting man in the world.

Go fuck a duck.
damn, this comment thread is still going strong. I got about half way through it last night and just came back again. Stucky, I agree with you in just about every respect on the post. Ive tried pointing much of this out on here and other places. As have you, as has harry, but to no avail.
Also, for whats its worth, I defended you and admin over at ZH. I saw it over there first and when I came over here, I was not the least bit surprised you had written it. Wasn’t surprised it only got like 2 stars either. That place, as well as TBP has gotten absolutely overrun with statist republicans lately. I don’t think Ive ever seen TBP stuff posted on drudge(don’t go there much anymore so I really don’t know) but I know they link to ZH, and once that started its all down hill.
For whats its worth, I can understand why some are taken in by trump. People are so sick of all the PC bullshit they hear, and along comes trump and tosses all that out. Also, white people, white males in particular, pretty much get told they have to put up with all this nonsense and that they are raycisst if they protest, and trump comes along. Unfortunately, he is playing you for fools, appealing to your baser (and dumber) instincts. Make yourself sound as dumb as your audience and they will think they are as smart as you, thats pretty much trumps MO. I only hope enough of you wake up and realize this before its too late.

Hey, I found your x-rays ….

“Also, for whats its worth, I defended you and admin over at ZH. I saw it over there first and when I came over here, I was not the least bit surprised you had written it. Wasn’t surprised it only got like 2 stars either.” ———— Gator
Thanks, buddy!! Well, it’s up to 42,618 reads, and a respectable (imho) 3.2 rating. More than just a few positive comments, such as below;
===================================
“Finally an article on ZH that paints the correct picture of Trump, not with emotions, but with facts”
“I applaud the Tylers for posting this article, which is mostly fact. It stats Trumps positions based upon his actions.”
“Loved this article and the humor. Trump is a loser as this article makes clear”
“Great article! Sad and very inconsistent to see that most people here on ZH, who supposedly believe in personal responsibility and freedoms, now basically are willing to do the same as the Chinese, North Koreans, Cubans, Cambodians and Russians once did: place their ‘hopium’ into one crazy person. Are Americans so dumb and brainwashed now that they can no longer see that this guy is as fake as his hair?”
===================================
The negative comments? pffffft …. Trumpeteers, no doubt … all butt-hurt when truth smacks them in the forehead .. like Southern Sage.
To the Pillory with Hillery!
backwardsevolution–Hillery says, “We must control guns.” Homer says, “No! We must control crazy people.”
There are 167 million + guns in America. One gun used in a fatal shooting, while regrettable, should be viewed in light of gun ownership. Not perfect, but damn good odds suggesting that it’s not guns that’s are the problem. What’s the problem, then? Well, I will tell you.
You can’t do much about the crazies because they’re crazy, you know like your Uncle that constantly says he was kidnapped by a UFO and won’t eat vegetables because he thinks they’re an alien plot .
However, when many in the population are barely making it, who have lost their job, who are worried about the collapsing economy, who see hope for a better future vanishing, and see themselves powerless to change it, become depressed, resentful, paralyzed, and look for scapegoats in which to blame for their current predicament, they act out. Some kill themselves, their family, or other innocents.
When the economy is under stress, people are under stress. We need to fix the economy, the monetary system, the taxing system, create jobs and provide hope in the future for a depressed society. …But, I’m giving 10,000 to 1 odds of that ever happening.

Every one of you motherfuckers(almost, anyway) have railed on about ending this phony war on terror and getting out of all these countries, and here you are loving a guy who HAS STATED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS that he will re invade not only Iraq but put troops in Syria and Iran as well
You constantly complain about the police state the US is turning into, he you applaud a guy who is PROMISING TO EXPAND that very same police state every time he talks, and you cheer for him. How will he round up 15 million people? With the Dept of homeland security( I always thought that name sounded better in its original German, but who asked me).
You guys all complain about the size of govt and then worship a man who is promising to grow nearly every aspect of it. I can see why this article got such low ratings, it points out your glaring hypocrisy.
=====================================
Bravo, Carl! EXACTLY how I feel about some of the motherfuckers here
Greenskeeper Carl pointed out how people speak with forked tongues and for some strange reason cannot see the error of their ways. I think Stucky’s post gives a good idea of what Trump is all about and yet they champion a man that is the polar opposite of what they are really looking for.
Damn those Joos are good with the smoke and mirrors to get this many people to believe that black is white and bad is good. I wish I had that power to influence the sheep, the things I could sell them……………we have been had again.
But never fear, Hitlery rises from the ashes like the phoenix to be the ONE. As I posted earlier, DEMS say she already has the votes . As was already discusses in previous threads the money is on Jeb, Hitlery and Trump will run under the (I) designation. The MSM will skillfully see to it that Trump’s votes put the demoness from hell in the WH and four more years of pain will begin. I’m long aspirin and painkillers.
Let’s elect a guy who promises to deny a newborn’s birthright, who promises to confiscate any cash a person has on him because he is a foreigner in a strange land, who will start a trade war with our creditors and promises to bring our jobs back, forgetting to mention that they will be minimum wage or less.
Let’s elect somebody who promises to out-deport the current deporter-in-chief. Let’s elect a guy who plans to out-Nixon Nixon by freezing prices and using gestapo tactics to root out drug users and drug dealers. Let’s elect a war monger who promises to out-Bush Bush by starting more wars in the middle east just so we can grab our oil under their land.
Let’s elect a guy who is, despite his wealth, a regular guy just like us; an adulterer, a three time loser, somebody who has been bankrupt like us, a liar, a manipulator, a welsher, a con artist, a reality TV whore, what could go wrong?
EC- Them are some harsh words, look out I think I smell a SHITFEST coming. May Gawd have mercy on us all. Have you heard Flash is back? He will mop the floor with you tonight.
I was doppled, actually, I am in favor of the Donald. I really beleive him when he says he will deport us and then let us come back in The Legal Way, which will cost us what – $5000 a piece in government fees? Let’s see 5,000 X 11 Million is a gazillion, just enough to pay for Iska’s wall. Problem solved. Yay.
UK passes tough new draconian laws to imprison illegal immigrants
Illegal immigrants will face six months in jail if they come to work in the UK and late-night takeaways and taxi firms will be closed if they employ them, ministers will announce. Ahead of net migration figures on Thursday that are expected to show a record number of foreigners are coming to the UK, the Government will unveil its latest crackdown on illegal foreign workers. As part of the plans drawn up in the wake of the Calais immigration crisis, the Government will create a new offence of illegal working which will come with a prison sentence of up to six months as well as an unlimited fine.
The authorities will also be able to seize wages as “proceeds of crime.” It means that instead of being taken to detention centers, illegal migrants will be processed through the courts before being taken to jail. Ministers believe it will act as a deterrent and prevent thousands of migrants attempting to gain access to the UK from European ports including Calais. Mr. Brokenshire said: “Anyone who thinks the UK is a soft touch should be in no doubt – if you are here illegally, we will take action to stop you from working, renting a flat, opening a bank account or driving a car.” He added: “Through our new Immigration Bill, illegal workers will face the prospect of a prison term and rogue employers could have their businesses closed, have their licenses removed, or face prosecution if they continue to flout the law.” –Telegraph

Well as I said above – your “choice” of next President is going to be pretty crap if y’all think that Mr Trump is your “Great White(haired) Hope”. Even the most cursory examination of his history will very clearly demonstrate that he is very keen on “cheap Labour” (therefore, illegal labour) when it suits him, so the “deport all illegals” might be an early casualty post election, especially since the Hispanic Community tend to look after each other, and those “illegals” might just disappear . . . .
Import tariffs to “Make America Great” again? your trading “partners” can play that game too, and those who have resources you NEED can simply choose not to trade with you. It will take a few decades to rebuild the lost infrastructure and skills / experience base, decades where your already skilled and experienced Global competitors will certainly NOT be waiting for the USA to catch up.
Use the Military to bully smaller Nations into kow – towing to US demands? Those smaller Nations might be interested in trading on a level playing field with other trading Nations – Russia and China come to mind, possibly encouraged by hints that Russia / China may be prepared to “look after the interests” of said smaller Nations, in return for maybe “enhanced” trading arrangements?? Force projection requires a defendable Navy, and both Russia and China have very capable weapons, specifically designed to destroy US fleet hardware.
Years ago I read William Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. It is very scary to compare Donald’s rhetoric with that of Adolf Hitler during his ascendant phase; it is also very interesting to compare the US’s economic situation with that of post WW1 Germany. You are already well on the way to being a Police State. Don’t fall for the empty promises of someone whose history is not quite as stellar as he’d like you to think. Never forget that Donald wants to get into power primarily to benefit Donald (and those who will have aided the process), NOT to benefit the “Average American”, no matter how slick the “advertising spiel” he presents. Don’t “buy the packaging” – think about the well-hidden “contents”.
EC,
A gazillion is not an actual number. We can do math here on TBP. $5,000 X 11 million = $55 billion. Also known as 5 days’ worth of federal spending. It shouldn’t cost that much to build The Wall, but if it did, that would be fine by me – even if the cost were NOT offset by immigrants’ fees or assessing Mexico. . $55 billion would be about $1/2 million per 1,000 feet of wall. Pretty sure The Donald can bring it in for a lot less. On deporting every person who has snuck in: while I understand the impulse to do so – so as not to reward lawbreaking encroachers, I’m actually not wedded to the idea of physically deporting everyone. IF there’s a way to sort out the violent criminals, etc (using biometric databases, etc.), then perhaps – PERHAPS- some of the sorting could be done within the US. Some would reply “but that’s what the 2013 bill did”, to which I would answer: no, it didn’t. There were no specific provisions for dealing with criminals & gangs. And I trust Trump on permanently ejecting bad elements a lot more than I trust Rubio, McCain, Schumer & Durbin. Besides, Trump is a negotiator. He has to include a thing or two to bargain away. “Deport them all” helps him get the nomination, but if, as president, he gets the fence, gets rid of the gangs, rapists and violent criminals, implements other measures targeting employers, etc. that’d be good enough for me – even if some of the encroachers aren’t forced to “touch back”. See how reasonable I can be?
As far as Obama being “Deporter in Chief”, everybody knows that’s just because they changed the definitions, so that turning around a fence hopper at the border (so that he could return an hour later) is now labeled a “deportation”.
