      I am not a Hillary supporter, but I am going to enjoy watching her obliterate the man.

      Enjoy it like an expensive steak dinner and a thousand dollar bottle of wine.

      She’s really going off on Trump U.

      They scheduled his fraud trial for November 28th.

      How many candidates have ever been convicted of fraud within weeks of losing a national election? Not many I’ll bet.

    Let’s also talk about how Mark Cuban basically called bullshit on Trump even being a billionaire.

      This is probably why Drumpf is fighting to hide his tax returns. When it’s revealed that not only does the wannabe Emperor have no clothes, but no money, even his most cretinous devoted fans will throw in the towel on him.

      Pointing out that Trump is a sad, orange loser is the only way to wake up his followers. They despise weakness.

    To endear himself to the West Coast voters, Mr. Trump trotted out his usual array of assaults, deriding the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, as a politician with “no natural talent.” He again falsely accused her of wanting to abolish the Second Amendment, and attacked her decision on intervening in Libya. Mr. Trump supported the intervention at the time.

    Gentile badassness can be wonderful

      700 people drowned this week alone desperately fleeing the gift of freedom Hillary brought to Libya. The released emails make it clear she takes her cues from the Israel lobby, which call themselves neocons, and Israel favors destabilization of every Arab nation everywhere, as well as pitting Sunni against Shia wherever possible.

      I’d like four more years of Obama too, kid. But we have a Scotus pick on the line and it’s Hillary or the thin-skinned orange frat bro.

      Also, it’s not necessarily Libyans fleeing. It’s other Africans, using the shitshow in Libya for ease of access to the Med.

      I really hope the media (excluding FOX News and the right wing noise machine) will continue to find the humanity within themselves and begin to act like concerned citizens in the face of a very real crisis.

      The objective fact is that Trump is lying piece of shit. Not just here and there lying but all the fucking time lying. He is possibly the most transparent fraud in the history of American presidential politics and yet he is treated as being legitimate.

      It is the media’s job to make this abundantly clear.

      Can you imagine how Trump would be covered by the American media if someone like him was in the running to be leader of a foreign country?

    The traditional etiquette standards known as “objective journalism” discourage media outlets from pointing out that a politician’s message is contrary to known facts—to do so seems like taking sides, or, God forbid, expressing an opinion.

    This has left Trump free to say whatever he pleases, regardless of reality, and to say the opposite as soon as it suits him. Mostly the media have then agonized afterwards about how a shameless con artist is bullshitting his way closer and closer to the White House.

    Well, and to be fair to the media, that’s what narcissists like Trump do: they seek out a weakness, then pounce on it. It’s unfortunate, though, that it took someone as “out there” as Trump for the media to revise their tactics—the GOP has been openly lying in the news for years. The question then is whether the media will start using these “newfound standards” with anyone else (or if they just really hate Trump).

      I seem to remember that years ago, Pat Buchanan admitted that the right knows damn well the media doesn’t have a liberal bias and they just started that talking point to make them afraid to hold Republicans accountable for anything. So sad that such a transparent ploy worked so well.

      The name of the game is still access. The media is probably relying o nthe fact that Trump is dying to get his face out there, so they finally decided to start calling his bullshit. FOX News not getting cozy with him probably helps a lot. I don’t think this will affect how politicians who have unofficial mouthpieces like FOX do business.

    The subject of nuclear weapons with Japan is interesting. First, they obviously do not have nuclear weapons. However, Japan is a very advanced society with significant scientific and industrial infrastructure. Further, they do have extensive experience in peaceful nuclear reactors, and a well developed space prorgram with experience in orbital rocketry.

    At this point, Japan is a “de facto nuclear armed state”. That is, the sole reason that they are not a nuclear armed state is that they choose not to be. If Japan were to change its mind in the future they could easily have a nuclear bomb with intercontinental capability in about 2 years time. Possibly less.

      “De facto nuclear armed state” is not a term in international law. If you meant “de facto nuclear state,” which is also not a term in international law, I would kindly remind you that Wikipedia is not a source, it is edited by anonymous strangers, and if you click on either of the citation links next to the phrase “de facto nuclear state” on the “Japanese nuclear weapon program” page, you will not actually find that phrase in either source (seriously, the PDF and the Google Book are both searchable).

      You also seem to confuse “bomb” with “rocket.”

    Trump’s going to have a tough time of it as time goes on. I’m glad he’s finally getting fair treatment—you know, the news is finally treating him like the liar he is. He deserves it and more and its just in the nick of time.

    Got to say his comment on Hillary Clinton, saying she has “no natural talent” was disgusting and disturbing. Regardless of party, she’s accomplished a lifetime of interesting and varied work, more than most of her peers—and a lot more than a basic and mediocre man-baby like Trump.

      She isn’t a natural politician. What she does have is a staggering, life-long resume of being a lawyer, a teacher, a transformative First Lady, senator and secretary of state. Her natural talent is probably her intellect—and getting results. Not too bad.

      We can now confirm, as has been long suspected, that the GOP has absolutely no moral center nor shred of integrity when it comes to their principles.

      When I first heard this news it depressed me. As much as I hate Ryan I thought maybe he would at least stand firm in his beliefs.

      But now I am kinda glad the GOP shackled themselves to this big orange turd. Because now they can all ride down the shitter together.

      Ryan just put the House and his job as speaker into play. Any GOP house member from a blue or purple state who gets their photo taken with Trump or Ryan stands a good chance of losing in November.
