Your choice for President of the United States is based on who brings more of the lolz?If you have a sense of humor, I don't see how you wouldn't vote for Trump, considering the alternative sucks, tbh..how can you resist seeing the worldwide reaction to a Trump victory? It would be one of the most glorious events we have ever witnessed, from a comedic POV..
Do you ever get out of the house?
Boots.
From the rape article
In relation to why the media is avoiding this story, Lisa Bloom is fair handed. But I don’t think the MSM deserves a fair shake. In my opinion, the media wants to keep Trump viable to create a high-tension, general election horse race and anything that threatens Trump’s viability is ignored.
Do you really believe this?

Trump really cannot go one day without ing up
The new rally point is Mr. Kahn, the father of the muslim soldier KIA who held up a (pristine) pocket Cons ution and challenged Trump to read it and discover the inviolable Zeroth Amendment which guarantees limitless immigration to the U.S. for skins. According to the DNC, Kahn's son was one of 14 killed on the American side in the first Gulf War (this represents a 0.3% KIA rate for American Muslims compared to the total).
If I had the time to research it, we could probably come up with 1.) the number of American Mohammedans killed fighting against the U.S. and/or for terrorist en ies which likely exceeds 14; and, 2.) the number of Muslim U.S. serviceman who turned on the U.S. while in uniform (Nidal Hassan, Hasan Akbar, etc...) which is not insignificant, and whose body count in the aggregate likely exceeds 14. It's probably a significant net negative in either event and blows the proposition that Mr. Kahn was trying to establish out of the water.
LET THEM IN BIGOTS! ALMOST HALF OF THE SOLDIERS FIGHT FOR THE USA INSTEAD OF AGAINST IT!
What the actual is this ?

The stats are: Nidal killed 13 and Akbar killed 2, for 15 American soldiers killed by Muslim-American soldiers. There's been at least one terrorist plot planned by a Muslim-American soldier (Hason Edmonds) thwarted. If you were willing to hammer it home, you could add the Beltway Sniper.
The number of Muslim-American servicemen killed in combat is supposedly 14, a number that was reported out of the House Homeland Security Committee by Chairman Peter King in 2011.
I actually have some doubts about the 14 number, but whatever. The point is still valid... more American soldiers (15) have been killed by Muslim-American soldiers, than Muslim American soldiers have died in combat (14).
No wonder Trump appeals to re s.
"Clinton Foundation? Never heard of it."
"What's La Raza? Never heard of it."
"Lolita express?"
"Nasan who?"
"When did the cold war start back up?"
Everytime the media spergs out about something he says, there's always some juicy nugget lying beneath the surface.
that's why I keep saying he better win this , or the meltdown is going to be epic
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on the ABC News program “This Week,” Mr. Trump said that if he were president, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia would not send his forces into Ukraine. He then he backpedaled when Mr. Stephanopoulos pointed out that Russian troops had been there for nearly two years.
“He’s not going into Ukraine, O.K., just so you understand,” Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee, said when the issue came up. “He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.”
“Well, he’s already there, isn’t he?” Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted.
Why the would have doubts about that hillbilly?The stats are: Nidal killed 13 and Akbar killed 2, for 15 American soldiers killed by Muslim-American soldiers.

It doesn't matter that he wants to ban Muslims. It's not possible unless there's a cons utional amendment which won't happen. So get over it.
Deflecting and resorting to name calling instead of addressing the point directly, are we?
Lawgic Status = TRAPPED
I can say whatever I want to you, but instead of providing facts, you made a blanket statement about having doubts that the number of 14 so maybe you should address that point directly asshole.
It is so surprising that Melania Trump is not really a college graduate as the RNC claimed.
Melania Trump's RNC bio incorrectly says she graduated from college
Melania Trump didn't receive a college degree in design and architecture at the university in Ljubljana, Slovenia, which her biography in the Republican National Convention program claims she had obtained.
The convention program reads, "After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996." This was a direct quote from her website.
Julia Ioffe, in a profile of Trump for GQ, first reported in April that she dropped out after a year, when she decided to move to Milan, Italy to launch her modeling career.

For as long as I’ve been aware of American politics and the differences — real and perceived — between our two major parties, I’ve also been aware that the GOP has been touted as the party for grown-ups. For serious (White) men and the women those serious (White) men were married to. The solid and sober and solemn oak trees of America, that stood stubbornly and valiantly steady while the winds of social change swayed anything unfortunate enough to be unsettled. No, you would not find many new ideas floating around them. Or platforms. Or concepts. Or even new types of people. In fact, not only would you not find these things, they’d be openly antagonistic towards them, regarding them as distractions. Weeds. Flotsam. But at least — at the very least — their performative grownassness was reliably reliable.Yet, as I’ve watched both the RNC and the DNC over the past week and a half, listening to each party’s litany of speakers and celebrities and alphas, one theme has been a bit more stark and unambiguous than the rest: The Democrats are led by grown-ups. Which is something the Republicans can no longer say about themselves after collectively deciding to rally behind a half-baked soufflé of analog cu bers.
Regardless of what you say about Hillary Clinton — and there are many, many, many, many uncomplimentary things you could say about her (and be right) — you can not deny that she’s a serious woman. With a serious career. And serious ideas. Who has devoted her life to doing serious things. And who is comfortable in a room with equally serious people. Basically, she’s a ing grown up. As is our President and Vice President. And Hillary’s husband, the former President. All men who could and should be criticized and held accountable for decisions they’ve made. But all ing grown ups.
Our amazing First Lady? A ing grown up. Bernie Sanders? A ing grown up. Jill Biden? A ing grown up. , Tim Kaine isn’t just a ing grown-up. He’s a computer-generated conglomeration of every dad from an 80’s teen movie. If someone today replaced Tim Kaine as Hillary Clinton’s running mate with Tim Allen, I doubt we’d even notice until September. Of 2018. If Donald Trump was born on third base, Tim Kaine was born in the driver’s seat of a Dodge Caravan.
This all stands in stark contrast to the cacophony of unripe we witnessed during the RNC, which was less political convention and more post-lunch recess at a charter school with no gym. None of the tenderfoot mother ers they paraded in front of America could reasonably be called a “serious” person. Wicked? Perhaps. Uncouth? Maybe. A gotdamn clownfraud? Definitely. But serious? A ing grown-up? no. Forget about running a country, would you trust Donald Trump to even babysit a cashew? Are you 100% confident that if you gave Melania Trump a Starbucks order, she’d come back with actual coffee instead of a picture of someone drinking coffee? Are we certain Chris Christie lives in an actual house and not a Trump University pull-out folder or a 14-story sugar cookie?
Of course, none of this is funny. Actually, let me qualify that. It is funny. It’s funny as right now. It’s ing hilarious that the party which has attempted (rather successfully) to brand itself as the adults in the room has put its future in the hands of the underdeveloped Cheeto at the bottom of a bag of Cheetos. The oak trees have been uprooted and replaced with Fruit Roll-Ups. It becomes exponentially less funny, however, when you realize the cheeto is a hair away from leading the country.
Which is why, when November comes around, I implore you all to just do what your parents taught you to do when you were six years old: listen to the grown-ups. Which in 2016 just means “vote for the Democrat.“
The next time you see a non-white mudsplaining the Cons ution or what the U.S. represents ("this is not who we are") which they do often when criticizing Trump, remember the words of H.P. Lovecraft.
Americanism
By H.P. LovecraftIt is easy to sentimentalise on the subject of “the American spirit”—what it is, may be, or should be. Exponents of various novel political and social theories are particularly given to this practice, nearly always concluding that “true Americanism” is nothing more or less than a national application of their respective individual doctrines.
Slightly less superficial observers hit upon the abstract principle of “Liberty” as the keynote of Americanism, interpreting this justly esteemed principle as anything from Bolshevism to the right to drink 2.75 per cent. beer. “Opportunity” is another favourite byword, and one which is certainly not without real significance. The synonymousness of “America” and “opportunity” has been inculcated into many a young head of the present generation by Emerson via Montgomery’s “Leading Facts of American History.” But it is worthy of note that nearly all would-be definers of “Americanism” fail through their prejudiced unwillingness to trace the quality to its European source. They cannot bring themselves to see that abiogenesis is as rare in the realm of ideas as it is in the kingdom of organic life; and consequently waste their efforts in trying to treat America as if it were an isolated phenomenon without ancestry.
“Americanism” is expanded Anglo-Saxonism. It is the spirit of England, transplanted to a soil of vast extent and diversity, and nourished for a time under pioneer conditions calculated to increase its democratic aspects without impairing its fundamental virtues. It is the spirit of truth, honour, justice, morality, moderation, individualism, conservative liberty, magnanimity, toleration, enterprise, industriousness, and progress—which is England—plus the element of equality and opportunity caused by pioneer settlement. It is the expression of the world’s highest race under the most favourable social, political, and geographical conditions. Those who endeavour to belittle the importance of our British ancestry, are invited to consider the other nations of this continent. All these are equally “American” in every particular, differing only in race-stock and heritage; yet of them all, none save British Canada will even bear comparison with us. We are great because we are a part of the great Anglo-Saxon cultural sphere; a section detached only after a century and a half of heavy colonisation and English rule, which gave to our land the ineradicable stamp of British civilisation.
Most dangerous and fallacious of the several misconceptions of Americanism is that of the so-called “melting-pot” of races and traditions. It is true that this country has received a vast influx of non-English immigrants who come hither to enjoy without hardship the liberties which our British ancestors carved out in toil and bloodshed. It is also true that such of them as belong to the Teutonic and Celtic races are capable of assimilation to our English type and of becoming valuable acquisitions to the population. But, from this it does not follow that a mixture of really alien blood or ideas has accomplished or can accomplish anything but harm. Observation of Europe shows us the relative status and capability of the several races, and we see that the melting together of English gold and alien brass is not very likely to produce any alloy superior or even equal to the original gold. Immigration cannot, perhaps, be cut off altogether, but it should be understood that aliens who choose America as their residence must accept the prevailing language and culture as their own; and neither try to modify our ins utions, nor to keep alive their own in our midst. We must not, as the greatest man of our age declared, suffer this nation to become a “polyglot boarding house.”
The greatest foe to rational Americanism is that dislike for our parent nation which holds sway amongst the ignorant and bigoted, and which is kept alive largely by certain elements of the population who seem to consider the sentiments of Southern and Western Ireland more important than those of the United States. In spite of the plain fact that a separate Ireland would weaken civilisation and menace the world’s peace by introducing a hostile and undependable wedge betwixt the two major parts of Saxondom, these irresponsible elements continue to encourage rebellion in the Green Isle; and in so doing tend to place this nation in a distressingly anomalous position as an abettor of crime and sedition against the Mother Land. Disgusting beyond words are the public honours paid to political criminals like Edward, alias Eamonn, de Valera, whose very presence at large among us is an affront to our dignity and heritage. Never may we appreciate or even fully comprehend our own place and mission in the world, till we can banish those clouds of misunderstanding which float between us and the source of our culture.
But the features of Americanism peculiar to this continent must not be belittled. In the abolition of fixed and rigid class lines a distinct sociological advance is made, permitting a steady and progressive recruiting of the upper levels from the fresh and vigorous body of the people beneath. Thus opportunities of the choicest sort await every citizen alike, whilst the biological quality of the cultivated classes is improved by the cessation of that narrow inbreeding which characterises European aristocracy.
Total separation of civil and religious affairs, the greatest political and intellectual advance since the Renaissance, is also a local American—and more particularly a Rhode Island—triumph. Agencies are today subtly at work to undermine this principle, and to impose upon us through devious political influences the Papal chains which Henry VIII first struck from our limbs; chains unfelt since the bloody reign of Mary, and infinitely worse than the ecclesiastical machinery which Roger Williams rejected. But when the vital relation of intellectual freedom to genuine Americanism shall be fully impressed upon the people, it is likely that such sinister undercurrents will subside.
The main struggle which awaits Americanism is not with reaction, but with radicalism. Our age is one of restless and unintelligent iconoclasm, and abounds with shrewd sophists who use the name “Americanism” to cover attacks on that ins ution itself. Such familiar terms and phrases as “democracy,” “liberty,” or “freedom of speech” are being distorted to cover the wildest forms of anarchy, whilst our old representative ins utions are being attacked as “un-American” by foreign immigrants who are incapable both of understanding them or of devising anything better.
This country would benefit from a wider practice of sound Americanism, with its accompanying recognition of an Anglo-Saxon source. Americanism implies freedom, progress, and independence; but it does not imply a rejection of the past, nor a renunciation of traditions and experience. Let us view the term in its real, practical, and unsentimental meaning.

More Bernie bro fall out
http://www.thedailystar.net/world/no...e-year-1262161
Gallup tracked the presidential candidate's appeal over the month of July and found that only 31 percent of 18-to-29-year-old Americans had a favorable view of Hillary Clinton.
That is a drop of 16 percentage points from a year ago, when the same age group gave her a 47 percent favorability rating, which was higher than that given by other age groups.
standing room only for the Clinton's in Pennsylvania
Trump has more dirty than Hillary. As more and more comes out the less pull he'll have among the evangelicals. He'll keep people like ducks and spankadelphia though. The hillbilly re s are his bread and butter.
Dude have you watched this yet, is cenk being serious here or is it all just an act? I don't watch the young turks
I dont watch them iether. Ask FkLA. He's an avid fan.
