quade 4 #51 July 27, 2016 I can't read that article on The Washington Times. Not because it's blocked or anything, but because I am frequently and vehemently opposed to The Washington Times since it is, pretty much, a rag written by nut balls and about as credible as anything L. Ron Hubbard ever wrote. You don't happen to have a link to the source document do you?

billvon 3,131 #52 July 27, 2016 >the Trump Russian bs it just a re-direct tactic to try and suppress the DNC's anit gay, anti black . . . And just today the National Review declared that the DNC was anti-white due to their leaks. Right wingers are so mad right now they can't even decide how to properly vilify the DNC. "They're anti-white! No, they're anti-black! They're opposed to traditional values! They hate gays!" Perhaps one will stick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Source: http://www.xojane.com/issues/stephanie-cegielski-donald-trump-campaign-defector Almost a year ago, recruited for my public relations and public policy expertise, I sat in Trump Tower being told that the goal was to get The Donald to poll in double digits and come in second in delegate count. That was it. LMAO!

Heck, if the choice is between Cruz and Trump, of COURSE people are going to choose Cruz, even if he is a little extreme; compared to Trump, he's a moderate!

It seems like only yesterday that some republicans were claiming that Trump was a shill for Cruz. Heck, if the choice is between Cruz and Trump, of COURSE people are going to choose Cruz, even if he is a little extreme; compared to Trump, he's a moderate! Cruz is another thoroughly revolting presence, and I preferred not to take him seriously when he was in contention. Hillary has always stood to gain over whatever poison could be stirred into the GOP - toxic though it may already be. She has not made it as far as she has by any excess of integrity, and I would not put it past Trump to play the fool in the limelight for another 15 minutes of fame. Whether Hillary or The Donald prevails, we're fucked. The guys at South Park look like dewy-eyed optimists in their choice of candidates by comparison.

Agreed. Indeed, according to his former campaign strategist, that is exactly why he is doing this. He wanted his 15 minutes of fame, and is getting it - but now he can't back down. He didn't want to get this far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't want to get this far. Well, it says a lot about the Republican party that a "trust fund baby, TV host, failed casino magnate (really, how do you lose money with a casino?)" is the best choice. Cruz? Rubio? Bush (for a third time?) Walker (build a wall to keep the Canadians out)? Kaisch, maybe, but he never resonated with the extremists who vote in primaries. I hate them both. But I don't hate either of them to the point that I would vote for the other one."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

True. And everyone who partnered with him, or sold him services, got screwed badly when he declared bankruptcy. And, of course, he rolled a bunch of personal debt into the restructuring, along with taking a huge salary for doing basically nothing. Helluva good con man."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

He's the friend of the working man! The champion of the small businessman! Well, except for the ones he's shafted or even ruined by welching on payment for goods and services. Quote And, of course, he rolled a bunch of personal debt into the restructuring, along with taking a huge salary for doing basically nothing. Helluva good con man. Mmm. In the UK right now a major chain of department stores called BHS has closed its door after a man called Phillip Green bought it for £200M in 2000 and sold it for £1 in 2015. The firm owes its own pension fund around £570M, and coincidentally in the 15 years he owned it drove it into the ground he extracted £580M of assets from the firm into his own personal pocket. And I thought, in the '80s (supposedly the heyday of corporate greed) when Robert Maxwell knew he'd be found out for swindling the Mirror Group's pension fund he at least had the good grace to sail out into the atlantic, jump off the side of his yacht and die a cold, lonely death with only his fellow sharks for company rather than live with the shame and disrepute. Now, Green simply sails his own luxury yacht up and down the Riviera from his home in Monaco, wallowing in the luxury that can be bought by equal parts lavish wealth and moral corruption, thumbing his nose at the parliamentary committees that want to give him a damn good talking to but ultimately lack the power to do anything else whatsoever, despite the fact that they (meaning, us) are going to be stuck footing the pensions bill that Green could pay 5 times over from his own bank account without even noticing. And that's what they call progressDo you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
