Trump

[BotanyBoy]

I'm actually amazed he'd actually announce 50 guys. That sounds like the sort of thing you could/would and should just sort of pretend they are contractors or advisers or whatever other bullshit terms.

It's SF......no one should even know. There is no real need for them to know.

IMO the fact we let the whole fucking world know we have a small contingent of vulnerable guys out in the wind is borderline negligent endangerment of those operators lives.

If it's special enough for special forces it's special enough to STFU about the shit until the operation is over one way or another.

^^ See and that qualifies to me as being an answer so blatantly wrong as to be impossible so I'm looking to the next answer.

So you think we should tell everyone about all our military operations? Seriously?

Not all of them of course not, though I think we are a tad absurd sometimes with trying to pretend it's a secret. That however isn't the point I was attempting to make.

Obama (and any president) has the full intellectual might of current military leadership and probably a good deal of retired ones who take it his call. I simply have a hard time believing that if announcing these 50 guys wasn't AT WORST neutral to their mission if not a net gain someone would have stopped him because reasons. It's not like we have any particular reason to think he's highly involved in the military rather than trusting people to do their jobs, maybe if he'd been a war time general and might genuinely blieve he knows better than so and so but no otherwise I trust they didn't do anything THAT dumb.

What? Donald Trump says he can make waterboarding not a war crime by ‘declassifying it’

Trump proves he's a bigger asshole than Cheney! How is that possible!

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump asserted on Sunday that he could legalize waterboarding — and even harsher forms of torture — simply by declassifying the tactics.

During an interview on CNN, host Jake Tapper pointed out that Trump’s plan to bring back interrogations techniques that were “worse than waterboarding” ran afoul of a 2006 law which made waterboarding a war crime.

“I would go through a process and get it declassified,” Trump explained. “And certainly [I would support] waterboarding at a minimum. They’re chopping off heads of Christians and many other people in the Middle East.”

“You can say what you want. I have no doubt that it does work in terms of information and other things — and maybe not always but nothing works always. But I have no doubt that it works,” he insisted. “When they’re chopping off the heads of people — and innocent people in most cases — beyond waterboarding is fine with me.”

Proving he doesn't understand, the legal system, ethics, or the evolution of civility in the 21st century!

Good it's why we love em

Do whatever is needed

"Beyond waterboarding," eh? Is Trump going to bring Dr. Mengele out of the deep freeze?

I find interesting that Trump represents a coarser segment of the population that rejects PC for plain talk. As such this illustrates the frustration of the great unwashed with the "establishment." Churches have been disrupted by the vast mobility of the workforce, since WWII, as a pillar of the community it has crumbled. The Federral GOvernment has degenerated into a great beauracracy content to feather it's own budget regardless of it utility to the community!
Local Communities in the suburbs are fragmented by the pace of modern cube life, cell phones and cable systems.

"The Whole World Is Going to Pot, Whether We Like It Or Not!" Is the prevailing attitude. With the foundations of our society in disarray, how can we build a "Shining Example of Democratic Excellence!"

"Im Mad As Hell, and I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore!" The people shout.

In rides a man in a white limousine, "Hell yea'" he says, "I feel your furstration and we'll get those bastards that are stealing our jobs, and raping our womenfolk!"

The disorganized, under-educated, and leaderless masses flock to his banner.

Sheeple indeed.

It is interesting that you quote "Network" The movie where people stick their heads out the window and yell, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." 40 years of Network news later they are still mad as hell. They've been led astray and bamboozled.by the Talking Heads on the Idiot Box. One of these years, maybe this one, they'll wake up from this CNN, CBS, CNBC, etc etc induced coma.

Donald Trump threatens third-party run over ‘unfair’ treatment by Republican party

What did I tell you weeks ago?

Billionaire says national committee is ‘in default’ of pledge amid complaints that he spotted ‘special interest people’ in debate crowd on Saturday

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump made a veiled threat on Monday to launch a third-party run as an independent candidate, saying Republican leaders are “in default” of an agreement to treat him fairly.

Speaking at a campaign event just outside of Charleston, South Carolina, the billionaire hinted that he may still run an independent campaign for president, despite a pledge he signed last year to stay within the party.

Trump, who was booed at a debate on Saturday, complained that the audience was full of “lobbyists and donors” whom he accused of manipulating his rivals. “Those tickets were all special interest people. I know ’em,” he said.

“I signed a pledge but it’s a double-edge pledge, and as far as I’m concerned they’re in default of the pledge.”

A spokesperson for the Republican National Committee told the Guardian: “The language of the pledge is pretty straightforward.”

The pledge, he said, “simply states the candidates pledge to run as a Republican and support the nominee. Nothing more and nothing less.”

WATCH: Donald Trump just attacked ‘unstable ‘liar’ Ted Cruz and ‘choke artist’ Marco Rubio

“I have never, ever met a person that lies more than Ted Cruz,” Trump told reporters. “I have never, ever seen anything like it.” Trump repeated his accusations that he made during Saturday’s debate about Cruz lying and playing dirty politics with Ben Carson in Iowa. He also called Cruz out on the “voter violation fraud” referring to

He also called Cruz out on the “voter violation fraud” referring to a leaflet the Cruz campaign sent out accusing Iowans of voting violations which Trump said the mainstream media didn’t pick up on. “That was a fraud that he committed.”

“He goes around saying he’s a Christian? I don’t know, you’re really going to have to study that,” Trump continued. After another question from reporters, Trump said that Cruz was an “unstable person. I watch him, I see him, and I always say he’s a good debater but he can’t talk … I heard he was a good debater, I personally don’t see he’s a good debater, but he is a very unstable person. That’s just my opinion.”

“What he did with Ben Carson was terrible,” Trump said returning once more to what happened in Iowa. “I’ve never seen anything like that. It was a total lie.” Trump then said that Cruz called Carson only after the fact to apologize and that Carson didn’t, in his mind, accept the apology. “So, I don’t want to be in a position where it’s Saturday evening and I get a phone call from him, ‘You know I’m really sorry that! My staff did something…'”

Amazingly, Trump has a substantial lead among evangelicals in South Carolina over Ted Cruz.

Conservative CNN commentator: It’s time for GOP to ‘hit the panic button’ over Trump ‘phenomenon’

With insurgent GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump holding commanding leads in both South Carolina and Nevada over his primary rivals, Republicans should be hitting the panic button warned a conservative commentator on CNN Wednesday morning.

CNN regular Matt Lewis, who recently published “Too Dumb to Fail: How the GOP Betrayed the Reagan Revolution to Win Elections,” explained that, as an establishment Republican he believes that the party has ample reason to be concerned, reports Media Matters.

After noting that Trump is leading second place Ted Cruz in Nevada, 45 percent to 19 percent, Lewis said “its time to hit the panic button.”

“Look, I’m an establishment guy under the new rules of what constitutes the establishment, which is changing. I remember when establishment used to mean liberal. Now it just means that, like, you’ve have been around for 15 minutes.” he said with a rueful laugh. “This is — I keep saying it, but it’s time to hit the panic button. I mean, I think that conservatives, mainstream conservatives, establishment Republicans, whatever you want to call them, have for so long been saying, ‘OK, let Donald Trump have his fun. But sooner or later, voters are going to wake up, once voting starts they’re going to get serious. They’re going to come to their senses.'”

“And it just never happens. It’s never happened,” he added. “Look at New Hampshire. The exit polls. I mean, he basically won every cohort. It’s not just non-college educated, liberal Republicans. He won conservatives, he won college graduates. This is a real phenomenon that’s happening and I don’t know when we hit the panic button or if there is a panic button to hit. But I think it looks like Donald Trump is going to easily win South Carolina and maybe the race is now for second place.”

First they tolerated the Tea party, now they have Trump going crazy! Oh Noooz!

If Trump runs thirds party it will allow the Democrats win easily. Trump, now having tasted the adulation of the great unwashed, can he be contained?

Newt Gingrich drops truth bomb on Fox News: ‘Trump is the candidate Fox & Friends invented’

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich reminded the hosts of Fox & Friends that they had essentially “invented” Donald Trump’s candidacy by promoting him in friendly weekly interviews for years.

Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy pointed out to Gingrich on Monday that the Republican Party establishment was “uncomfortable with Trump.”

“This is their nightmare scenario,” Doocy observed.

“The billionaire is spending the least amount of money and running away with this thing,” co-host Brian Kilmeade noted.

“That’s because of you guys,” Gingrich interrupted. “Donald Trump gets up in the morning, tweets to the entire planet at no cost, picks up the phone, calls you, has a great conversation for about eight minutes — which would have cost him a ton in commercial money. And meanwhile, his opponents are all out there trying to raise the money to run an ad.”

And Trump never had to make any sense when talking to Doocy!

“Look, you can say that Trump is the candidate Fox & Friends invented,” Gingrich shot back. “He was on your show more than any other show.”

“Every Monday,” Doocy recalled.

“It was always a happy, positive conversation,” Gingrich continued.

“Yep,” Doocy agreed.

SO we have 'Fox and Friends' to thank for the Trumpster.

Why Republican’s anti-immigrant rabble-rousing is backfiring

What if Trumps demonizing of Latinos caused them to Vote!

Latinos are the largest ethnic minority group in the US, making up 17.4% of the population, yet the Latino electorate has so far underperformed at the ballot box. The Pew Research Centre projects that a record 27.3m Latinos will be eligible to vote in 2016. That’s 4m more than in 2012, but still only about half of the US’s Latino population.

At the 2012 election, an alarming 12m eligible Latinos chose not to vote, and the Latino turnout rate dropped from 49.9% in 2008 to 48%. Conversely, 66.6% of African Americans and 64.1% of non-Hispanic whites voted.

While mobilising unlikely voters in Chicago in 2014, I witnessed how misinformation and a lack of understanding of how the government functions fuels public disillusion with the political process, a major reason many voters, not just Latinos, opt to reject the ballot box.

The Rethuglicans may ignite a spark of rebellion in the Latino community. Isn't this one more way that Trump is sinking the Rethuglicans in his Clinton inspired double dealing?

The Trump family’s troubled past: Donald’s grandfather was an illegal immigrant and pimp

During New Year celebrations in Cologne, there were more than 500 reported attacks against women, including robbery and sexual assault. Most of the suspects are of North African origin, and some are thought to have entered the country illegally or as asylum seekers.

The news was welcome campaign fodder for US presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Referring to German chancellor Angela Merkel’s open door policy on refugees from Syria, he commented in his usual rhetoric: “I don’t know what the hell she is thinking”.

Trump went on to say that he did not want to have “people coming in from migration from Syria (sic)” as these were aggressive young men who “look like they should be on the wrestling team”. More dangerously still, Trump believed such people could act as terrorist “Trojan horses”.

Trump’s comments are in line with his vicious verbal attacks on Mexicans and other immigrant groups in the United States. But they betray his own family background. His grandfather, Friedrich Trump, a German, lived a migrant life in the US on the edge of illegality and rejection. During the World War I, he belonged to an immigrant group which was sweepingly labelled the “enemy within” or – in his grandson’s parlance – a Trojan horse.
The great wave

Friedrich Trump was swept to the United States in one of the biggest waves of mass migration in history. During the 1880s and early 1890s, 1.8m Germans emigrated to various European and overseas destinations. When young Friedrich arrived in New York in 1885 he joined around 200,000 of his compatriots who had already settled in the metropolis, forming a distinct “Little Germany”. After working for six years as a barber, he was caught by the Gold Rush, moved west and opened up a chain of restaurants and hotels in Washington State and British Columbia. Hospitality did not only include food and lodging, but also alcohol and prostitution. Friedrich anglicised his name to Frederick and became a US citizen.

Imagine if prostitution were legal? Trump would be importing hookers service his hotel guests. He wouldn't even hire American Hookers because they want real wages.

Donald Trump just got ripped by the most unimaginably perfect source — the dictionary

Rubio then drove it home.

“So how does this guy not in one tweet, three tweets, misspell words so badly?” he asked. “And I only reached two conclusions. Number one, that’s how they spell those words at the Wharton School of Business, where he went. Or number two, just like Trump Tower, he must have hired a foreign worker to do his own tweets.”

Comedian Michael Ian Black pointed out the rumble between the GOP candidates vying desperately for the party nomination has officially reached the grade school level.
