At this point I think we need to start doing investigations of his and his family's various holdings and see who may have prior knowledge of what he's about to tweet. See if, for instance, anyone shorted Boeing in the last 24 hours. I'm going to start subscribing to his tweets and get ready for instant on-line trading!

Why "must" I be proud? You presume much, sir. John

The FBI Reopens The Criminal Investigation Into Hillary's Private Server!
aphid replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Things seem to be getting curiouser and curiouser. (apologies to Lewis Carroll) From Slate.com (http://tinyurl.com/hssfrw8) "This spring, a group of computer scientists set out to determine whether hackers were interfering with the Trump campaign. They found something they weren’t expecting." -
And for someone who does not give a rats ass you sure post about our election a bunch...... Pardon me for offering up the video to confirm the candidates own words. Kindly allow me to repeat: I don't give a rats-ass about the spin. Reading may be fundamental, but comprehension can be critical. Even up here in the third world called Canada it is impossible to escape the inundation of American media, representing both the right and the left. I stand dutifully admonished, Marc. In the future, I'll try to further reduce my (actually quite few, I checked) specific US election posts.

Actually, this is your (and the media) spin on it. Did you even watch the debate? I didn't need "spin" to hear with my own ears how Mr. Trump responded to that direct question repeatedly from the moderator. Yes I did watch it. I refuse to accept your view on what he said. You refuse to accept my view on what he said. I don't have a "view" of what he said. They were his words, from his own mouth. Perhaps you were having a bathroom break? Here's his reply; https://youtu.be/8dc3mUtpU44?t=5069 (Starts at the appropriate time) For the record AGAIN, as a foreigner, I have no say nor vote in your election. As such, I don't give a rats-ass about whether the spin is to the right or to the left. (Edited to make link clickable)

Private corporation, the funds came down through the federal, state and county. Government largesse funded by taxation? Well I'll be darned.

Research. Government things that evil taxes pay for.

I suppose that depends on your point of view. My explanation is that I am in the world but no longer of the world. Then why are you voting?

What do you do when countries won't take their immigrants back?

Speaking only for myself, I went to Calgary South Medical. Nice modern place. Latest in equipment. World-renowned specialists. It was great to have a leading-edge medical procedure that is being "investigated as a protocol" by your FDA. And did it it on less than 20 days notice. Try not to swallow the propaganda being promulgated by your private insurance lobby. It's not so bad up here.

Cops kill another scary looking unarmed black man
aphid replied to gowlerk's topic in Speakers Corner
Yes officer, I understand. Perhaps I am blessed as my interactions with the RCMP , OPP, QPP, and various city police in Canada have been most acceptable. However, I have had less-than-positive interactions with police on your side of our border, including the (verbal) threat of physical violence for innocently removing my riding leathers in 92 degree weather in Coolidge, AZ, after we had already been talking pleasantly (or so I thought) for at least 3 minutes. So, if am slammed to the pavement, I'll be sure to remind myself that somewhere an equally zealous conscientious policeman is talking somebody, somewhere, off a ledge. And sadly won't be receiving any glory for it. -

I stand corrected; I'm not employed in Law Enforcement, but friends are. I have no criminal record or outstanding civil claims. I'm not American although I visit the Eloy area extensively. I don't have a weapon - I am Canadian. However, I do have a penchant for regularly exceeding highway speed signs. As I am currently struggling with some health issues that physically preclude me from instantly complying to a bellowed demand to "raise your hands and keep them up", or "get on your knees", or "lay face down", I worry how a policeman in your country might react to my disobedience. I would like to tell the policeman about the infirmity to allay his/her concerns but unfortunately, especially under stress, my med's prevent me from talking above a hoarse whisper. Mind you, I am plainly Caucasian. So while I may endure some manhandling, I don't think I will be shot. And that would be likely considered a legitimate interaction and exchange by the Thin Blue Line. -

So, one struggles (perhaps) with sleepless nights, emotional trauma, able to attend employer-funded counseling, and some paid leave-of-absence. The other dies. Seems fair. -
I'd nominate Bill Gates. Of course, he's spent the last 20 years or so spending buckets of his own money fighting a variety of tropical diseases and otherwise trying to make poor people's lives better. That would automatically label him corrupt, untrustworthy, or just a freak in the eyes of about 50% of the US population. Don According to a TED presentation he made, he advocates reducing the world's population a la, the Georgia Guidestones. Some of the vaccines he is funding are accomplishing that end. http://nsnbc.me/2013/05/08/bill-gates-polio-vaccine-program-caused-47500-cases-of-paralysis-death/ "nsnbc.me, or nsnbc ìnternational, is a lowercase alternative news site created in 2013 by a Danish man named Christoff Lehmann as a replacement for his blog. The website is one of the more professional-looking crank sites. However, under the shiny exterior, the website supports a wide range of conspiracy theories and woo. nsnbc features articles supporting 9/11 conspiracy theories, FEMA concentration camps, Bilderberg conspiracies, Zionist conspiracies, Rothschild conspiracies, Monsanto conspiracies, Séralini's discredited rat study, vaccine-induced autism, fluoride conspiracies, and cancer woo."
