Sunshine Jesse Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Why? I don't care about the issue. They can frack and mine all they want. And I actually agree with HRC on this. A lot of these groups are Russian and Chinese funded because forcing us to cut down on those kinda endeavor kills our GDP and retroactively helps theirs. It would have moved me closer to her if not for the fact Trump mentioned China doing it nearly a year ago Like I said, I don't expect one of your to change your mind. I just want to document that I for one haven't given my country up to corruption Like thisIt's been "sold to corruption" for decades- nay, centuries. That's why Trump's campaign slogan is bullshit. He can't "make America great again" because it was never great in the past. It's, by almost every metric, better now than it's ever been. The unemployment rate is lower than it's been in 20 years. Crime rates are lower. The GDP growth is at sustainable levels. People enjoy more rights than they ever have before. The only metrics by which it's bad are the metrics of social conservatives who believe certain people shouldn't have the rights they do now, and by those who don't know a thing about economics and believe that the national debt is a far bigger issue than it is. And, of course, by those who think it's unacceptable that we're not better than we are now. That we're getting better too slowly. And the people who believe that aren't those who support Trump, because he doesn't have a single position that represents actual progress in the right direction. He's done nothing but pander to emotions and anger over issues that either aren't as bad as he says (immigration) or don't exist. The problem is not people who keep their corruption hidden. In order to keep the populace- who ultimately decide how much power they have- satisfied, they must throw us a bone or two every so often. These bones are the source of all progress we've made ever since the New Deal. It's regrettable, and it's a large portion of why Bernie Sanders held so much appeal towards me and others, but it's just how things work. The problem is those who sell blatant corporate pandering and corruption as a good thing, and people believe it. This is where my support of Hillary comes from. She's corrupt, sure, and she's poking a few things that are better left alone (Russia, even though I think they're vastly overrated as a threat), but she doesn't have the audacity to sell blatant corporate pandering as a good thing as much as Trump does. Here are several occasions in which Trump does the same, taken from his very site: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/tax-plan/ Benefits the upper class far more than the middle class. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/regulations/ I shouldn't have to explain why a "freeze on all new regulations" is blatant corporate pandering. Sure, some are pointless and frivolous, but letting corporations do whatever they want has proven time and time again to have awful effects (see: the housing crisis). https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/health-care/ Removing state lines won't do anything but make insurance companies move to the state where they pay the lowest state tax. This is tremendous pandering towards health insurance companies. It won't improve healthcare or prices, it'll just make the insurance companies richer. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/energy/ Literally suggests using more natural gas and implying that'll reduce emissions. This will save and preserve nothing except money. Also mentions nothing about nuclear power which is something both you and I agree on, or any other alternative source of energy. How can you call this anything but corrupt? Is it because he doesn't hide it? That makes it worse. These are awful ideas that he tries to pass off as good! Now go through Hillary's list of issues and find the same- and I mean her actual list of issues on her site, not links to images of emails where one of her associates says something tenuously related to corporate pandering. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm saying to find something as blatant as what I've shown. Show her passing off demonstrably terrible ideas as good things. I'm not saying you can't. You probably can. But I doubt you can find anything as blatantly dangerous and misleading as what I've linked here, unless you actually believe these are good ideas.

Wizarus Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Trump is now pulling out of Virginia, which is terrible for the GOP. Even if Trump wasn't going to win the state, it insults the Republican base there, which is still fairly large. It may seal the deal that Virginia is a "likely blue" state now.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Trump is now pulling out of Virginia, which is terrible for the GOP. Even if Trump wasn't going to win the state, it insults the Republican base there, which is still fairly large. It may seal the deal that Virginia is a "likely blue" state now. He "pulled out" of Iowa too, you don't see me crying. He pulled out of OH and FL 2 days ago too technically, he's moving ads around. (Like out of northernmost VA)For your information though he has a 140 million ad buy that includes VA coming up. Poll yesterday came out with him in MoE https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/trump-campaign-insists-its-not-quitting-in-virginia-just-moving-staff-for-now/2016/10/13/e7b18540-9195-11e6-9c85-ac42097b8cc0_story.html MSM tried this same sheet with FL and OH, you're not gonna demoralize any trump supporters by parroting this bullshit Jesse you're so out of touch it's beautiful. Plenty of small business and farms want lower regulations, there's a reason why the majority of small business CEO's support Trump. Trump has never claimed to be the green promoting president. Climate change IS a Russian and Chinese hoax, for once HRC spoke the truth. People were telling us NYC and FL would be underwater by now, news flash, they're not. Stop underestimating the Earth. Yes carbon is bad, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Us killing our economy for the sake of pandering to that illusion is terrible for the US. @Healthcare, look up monopolistic competition. I get that you've shown a pitiful lack of knowledge regarding economics but it's never too late for you to educate yourself. Idk if this is clear or not, but I don't give a flying funk how any of you vote. If you think HRC represents your views, which you clearly do. Please vote for her. She doesn't represent mine, so I will keep documenting how she doesn't. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2016/10/13/people-are-so-stressed-by-this-election-that-the-american-psychological-association-has-coping-tips/ Stressed? Whatever happens on Nov. 8, life will go on. Our political system and the three branches of government mean that we can expect a significant degree of stability immediately after a major transition of government. Avoid catastrophizing, and maintain a balanced perspective. Uh, there's democratic senators now saying she's told them she'll use EO to kill 2A. Obama is implicated. MSM is running a gobbels type propaganda machine. DNC is putting out ads for fake rape victims to create an opening for muckracking. Don't tell me that life will go on. That much is obv. The standard of life we lead here needs to change. They're threatening war with Russia, Russian's military is mobilizing. India signed on with a pseudo military organization consisting of China and Russia. India increased it's tritium extraction program and a good portion is going to Russia. Gorbeshev says the world has never been closer to war. Y'all are what, 23-24? If there's war, I'm the one who's gonna get drafted and have to fight against my families homelands because the witch need some war or the other. So No I can't relax. I'm terrified about what world I'm going to wake up in tomorrow. And that 3 branches excuse is bullshit. GOP = Dems. They're both warhawk globalists salivating to whore out America Since the criteria for assault is now bullshit, ya know, you need no witness or such.

Us killing our economy for the sake of pandering to that illusion is terrible for the US. @Healthcare, look up monopolistic competition. I get that you've shown a pitiful lack of knowledge regarding economics but it's never too late for you to educate yourself. You have officially hit a nerve. I know how economics works. I know what history has shown. I know that "small business" has been GOP rhetoric for "big business" for the past few decades. Farmers are the exact type of people who'd buy into this rhetoric, and it's really sad. Climate change a hoax? And you base this off of a few failed worst case scenario predictions? And worse, you call it a hoax from the country that emits almost twice as much as we do? The country that action needs to be taken against in order to stop them from ruining the world more than we're on the path to doing already? Come the f*** on. I guess you're not smarter than Trump after all. You know, let me let you in on a little something. I'm not trying to change your mind. I never was. You're literally just a caricature of Trump supporters at this point. It was never about you. It was about using you, a walking, breathing strawman, to show anyone who might be on the fence just how wrong Trump and his supporters are on a fundamental level. If I can stop just one person from voting for the dangerous meme candidate with the world's most gullible supporters, that's all I need. They don't even have to vote for Hillary. They can vote third party. That's a legitimate option and one I fully support, especially for those who don't live in a swing state. Both of the candidates are awful, but only one of them represents the kind of awful that won't put a stop to all of the progress this country has made in the past few years. I'm not going to tell people that they're awful for considering voting Trump, because accepting people in moments of weakness, especially otherwise smart ones, giving them a community to fit in, empowering them, and filling their mind with loads of damaging and incorrect information is exactly how cults work. The confused and undecided aren't stupid. They aren't bad people. They simply have yet to be informed that the narrative Trump and his supporters try to peddle is a load of dishonest horseshit based on false equivalencies and outright fabrications. A lot of Trump supporters have simply fallen for this narrative, and the longer they remain in their little circlejerk, the more they deny facts and dismiss common sense as some grand conspiracy by the mainstream media. Perhaps that's the most damaging thing about the Trump campaign. It's all part of some grand conspiracy. Everything is paid off. Nothing is trustworthy unless it fits within their worldview. Facts take a backseat to feelings. And when confronted with this, all they can say is "no u," deflecting all the accusations back onto us, trying to paint Hillary and her associates as the exact same things we accuse Trump and his supporters of being as if it makes him a better person or candidate by any measure. It's f***ing ridiculous. The Trump campaign is f***ing ridiculous. You're f***ing ridiculous. Don't try to paint yourself as neutral or reasonable. You're not just documenting where Hillary doesn't represent your views, and don't try to fool us into thinking you are. You're just parroting everything bad you hear about Hillary on /r/The_Donald and denying the true depth of just how awful Trump is at every turn. But hey, at least I have to give you credit somewhere. You're not deep enough in the rabbit hole to actually think Trump is a great person. Or maybe you do, and are simply lying and trying to appear more reasonable so that some people might begin to doubt that a lot of Trump supporters are deluded, blind cultists. Given you slipped up and actually called him a 'hero,' I have reason to believe this is the case. If that accusation is correct, all I can do is provide you with a meme: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Lol that's cute. I touched your nerve because you're unable to deal with facts. That post had very little substance in it tbh 1) You claim you have an understand of economics and history? Then don't further elaborate. Meaningless qualifier 2) http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/05/small-business-says-trump-is-their-pick-for-president.html 3) No? That's not what I said. I said people make it seem more dire than it is. It is a Chinese and Russian hoax because those are two economies that grow at the expanse of ours. If we stop with our energy output they'll have an easier time to overtake us. CO2 is bad for the world in large amounts. Not denying that at all. I'm saying to fix that problem we need to take a step back and grow our economy again so we can develop technology to remove carbon down the road. 4) Still undecided. Trump's not perfect, he does stupid things like talking about grabbing pussy while on wire. Actually. Valid options? Like the man who can't name single world leader he respects or the woman who thinks nuclear energy is a government plan to kill us all? Sure. You convince them to go there. Facts on the other hand show the 3rd party vote shrinking. It's not a mainstream media conspiracy where they're literally putting up people for rape charges who get debunked in less than 24 hours. It's not a conspiracy when Wikileaks get 13 minutes of coverage relative to 183 for Trump talking about pussy. You're part of the problem Jesse. You're a perfect example of the useful idiot that stalin loved to talk about. You're beyond saving, but enough people can read "how shall we hide 55k emails from congress and should we ask obama to help us hide them" and not be like oh well the other guy talked about pussy, so better vote for the traitor. We've had enough of your ilk. Can you explain where I'm documenting things other than those I don't agree with HRC on? If anything I gave her credit for calling out the fracking opposition like she should have done. I mean what do you want me to call you guys. If you keep spouting the bullshit off CNN how are you any better than me allegedly spouting bs off r/T_D and /pol/ Anyone who is willing to take the fight to HRC and not bend over and get assfucked like Romney is a great person to me. Trump has done enough to take care of people in his past, despite what I see as stupid publicity stunts and womanizing. Newflash jabroni, Heros can have flaws. I'm sorry I don't take these two-bit rape allegations srsly when this is a thing https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/12803Democrats prepared fake Trump "grope under the meeting table" Craigslist employment advertisement in May 2016 Statement from the cousin of one of Trump's accusers And here is statement from the accuser herself.

Aerion Brightflame Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-defended-leeds_us_58014fe2e4b06e047594fa91 - Yes I know it's Huff Post, but all the things they talk about can be independently verified. Anthony Gilberthorpe, the witness Trump has brought forth to attempt to prove his innocence on the Jessica Leeds acusation has a history of lying when it comes to storys of sex. In 2014, the man lied about providing children for sex parties of members of Parliament some as young as 15. To my knowledge none of these claims were ever verified for lack of evidence. Well either he lied or he's scum. Similarly in this case, he's not actually provided any evidence relying entirely in his word to prove something that he saw two relative strangers doing about 34 years ago when he was 18. So he's not exactly the best way to disprove this sort of thing, and he makes a frankly terrible character witness. Now, maybe some of the say half a dozen women who've come forwards currently is lying about the sexual assault. Maybe, it's always possible as we well know. But there's not evidence to disprove them all. There won't be evidence to disprove them all. And whilst Trump can't be charged unless someone can prove some of these (Which will be hard given a lack of physical evidence), his campaign and reputation will still suffer if he can't disprove all of them individually. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/donald-trump-lied-donating-9-11-charities-article-1.2829908 If we want to talk about Trump's rep as being 'for the people' and 'for small buisnesses', I know this a low blow but the man actually found a way to profit from 9/11. He took some 150,000 from the fund set up to help small buisnesses affected by the attacks (So 400 or less employees in a 1 mile radius who suffered some physical or economic damage as a result of the attack). His claim for such was that his building 'housed people and equipment for months' but the article has witnesses who suggest this was not the case in reality. So make of it what you will. Additionally, there is evidence suggesting Trump gave nothing to any 9/11 charity with the 12 months of the attack. Despite pledging some 10,000 (Or 0.001% of his net worth assuming he is a billionare for reference), audits of the records of the Twin Towers Fund and the NYC Public Private Initiative, the two largest 9/11 charities (As well as looking at the public records of the Trump Foundation between then and 2014) show no sign of any donation from Mr Trump of any size in the 12 months following the attack. Ivanka did host a fund raiser in that time, but there's still no record of Trump himself doing anything. The only sizeable donation Trump has made it appears occurred this April, from his foundation (Which as we know Trump hasn't given too in years) tothe 9/11 Museum. This donation came shortly after Ted Cruz doubted Trump's New York Values, so one could argue it was made solely for political points rather than desire to help. Now I don't care about 9/11, but I figure some do and that this is again one of those things that speak to his character. That even in arguably America's lowest time he couldn't give even a tiny amount of his own wealth to help. I acknowledge it's a low blow, but he is the man who choose not to help as it seems. The only way he could verify if he actually gave in that time frame would be his Tax Returns, so we know that won't be happening (Because again he's the first candidate since Ford not to release them).

Plenty of obviously-awful and corrupt presidential candidates were elected solely due to how bad the opposition was. Examples:Bush.Grant.Nixon had a shady record before the Watergate scandal and was re-elected. Hell, some are viewed as good presidents despite obvious corruption and scandals, such as Ronald Reagan, whose administration is arguably responsible for everything bad that has happened to America since then. The lesser of two evils is how American politics has always worked. There is no decay. It doesn't reflect poorly on us at all, especially when the alternative is an equally-corrupt homunculus who says awful things on a regular basis. The primaries are what reflected poorly on us. We could've had Bernie Sanders up against... uh... who's the closest thing to a not-awful Republican...Rand Paul? I'll go with Rand Paul. Even a pseudo-libertarian's views line up at least 30% with my own. We could've had Rand Paul against Bernie Sanders. Instead we picked two Batman supervillains. funk.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's fun to notice that the fall back for almost every Trump supporter is "You only dislike him because he says mean things". Grow up, there's plenty of other reasons that have been given. And "says mean things" is a horrible oversimplification when it comes to a presidential candidate.Seriously no matter where this debate goes I keep seeing it come back to this.

Sunshine Jesse Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's fun to notice that the fall back for almost every Trump supporter is "You only dislike him because he says mean things". Grow up, there's plenty of other reasons that have been given. And "says mean things" is a horrible oversimplification when it comes to a presidential candidate.Seriously no matter where this debate goes I keep seeing it come back to this.That's the whole reason a lot of people believe Hillary is worse than him. He's created a bubble of denial around his awful actions using his awful words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's more the fact that all of are willing to accept he's an jabroni I see no way to work around the fact that HRC willingly aided ISIS and wants me to pay for randos to have abortions. I can't square with that and I have to everything in my power to stop herThat's the whole reason a lot of people believe Hillary is worse than him.

You need to stop speaking for people you barely understandAnd yet you constantly put words in Hilary supporters (or more to the point, those who don't support Trump) mouthsLike saying that those against him just don't like his "mean words"Which you've said many times. I can abide a lot of crap but hypocrisy really ticks me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Urquhart Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Now, I would just like to weigh in my opinion on all of this, as a candidate myself. Mr. Trump, on paper, seems to have the right idea. Run a government like a business. It's worked well a few times, such as in Tennessee, where the governor, Jim Haslam, was the President of the Pilot Corporation until becoming elected as Mayor of Knoxville and then going on to become the current governor. And in my opinion, things in Tennessee have turned around since Haslam took office. But Trump is not a successful businessman. Most of his ventures have been run into the ground, are under government investigation for one reason or another, or both. And he has contradicted himself multiple times on what he plans on doing once he enters the Oval Office. He knows how to work a reality TV show, a mere popularity contest, and he is under the impression that our elections are no different. Mrs. Clinton, on the other hand, has a long career in politics, and is the wife of a former President, yet said career has been a storied and tumultuous one, and rife with sketchy and morally questionable decisions, such as that whole Benghazi affair. She seems to be trying to provoke Trump into attacking her, which is admittedly working, and turn his own rabid fanbase against him while skirting around the various issues heaped upon her own plate. Yet I have a different approach. I plan to be honest. No backing down on promises. No skating around touchy subjects. I am going to be forward and up-front with you, the American people, because that is what you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
