QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) Fahrenthold with more on Trump's charity scams. Trump used $258,000 from his charity to settle legal problems So basically the Trump Foundation is one of Donald's personal bank accounts. People donate to it, then he spends that money on himself, or gives it to other charities and takes credit for it.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) I don't think he's claiming that he was never a part of the birther movement. He seems to have acknowledged there isn't an issue and he's satisfied. But maybe I missed that statement. Link? Here was the hilarious statement. Hillary was the vicious conniving Birther smearing Obama. Trump heroically ended Hillary's ugly attack in 2011 by getting to the truth. To use your Hillary-SSM comparison, this would be like Hillary claiming she singlehandedly pushed for same-sex marriage legalization in 2003 and that it was actually Donald Trump who banned same-sex marriage in the first place.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) Ah come on, he just saw the light. It's ok to change your mind for political purposes when you land on the "right" side! http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/278350/hil...-marriage-2002/ What are you talking about? Trump isn't admitting to having been a racist idiot; he's rewriting history and making himself out to be the one who was in the right. Trump is a teenager who drove 120 mph, crashed his dad's car and bragged about it for years. Now he says Hillary crashed the car and he repaired it. It's amazing.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 15, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) A buddy told me to check out Black Mirror on Netflix. ANyone? It's a series of "What if" sci-fi stories. Kinda Twilight Zone-ish. I'd say 5 out of the 7 episodes are good.

Trump's statement on Obama's birth is the most amazing spin of all time. He spent years and years leading the Birther movement, harping on Obama and his birth certificate and saying his investigators found crazy things. Even THIS YEAR, he was saying he didn't know if Obama was born in the US. Now he says that Birtherism was terrible and ugly, Hillary was behind the whole thing, and he was the one who rightfully resolved it in 2011. THE BEST SPIN, JERRY. THE BEST

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 15, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) Reports on his business history are out there already. Sure, we know about things like not paying contractors and having his products made overseas, but an email that's very explicit about those things would be really bad for him among blue collar workers. Imagine an email where Trump laughs and tells a project manager not to pay workers ("they can sue me") or says that American workers suck because they're too expensive compared to Chinese workers.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 15, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) I've mentioned this before, but it's plausible that there's just not any dirt there. You just had the Colin Powell emails released, they were pretty tame. Anything Trump says privately can't be any worse than what he says publicly. I don't think that's plausible. Even normal journalists are regularly able to dig up dirt on him. I'm sure hackers could find something (tax records, shady business dealings, explicitly racist emails).

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) Id imagine it just means the talking points are settled on in advance I guess I don't understand what would be scandalous about that then.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) Also, Im not trying to make this partisan. I dont for one second think the GOP isnt doing this s*** too. Im just surprised it doesnt bother more people. This system is so rigged and it is only going to get worse. There are some pretty serious claims of insider trading, pay to play and election fraud implied in these leaks and we cant even get the media to investigate it because they are also implicated. Any context for what "hits" are in this email? Surely I'm not supposed to believe that Fox News including Bill O'Reilly are in the pocket of the DNC.

Colin Powell is taking a s*** on everyone in these emails

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) if greg's actions in this thread don't convince many he's a troll, I don't know what will. I think Colin Kaepernick is trying to get Chelsea Clinton to notice him because he wants to be First Man.

Tim Kaine would probably poll better than Hillary. Maybe she's playing the sick card. 4d intergalactic chess

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) He gave money to a candidate who later decided against her state joining an ongoing legal case against him. Do you have direct evidence of corruption, or is it possible she didn't think Florida had standing to join (I'm asking seriously, I don't know the specifics about why she decided not to join)? Looks like a obvious quid pro quo to me. - You're being investigated. - Here's some money. - Investigation dropped. Unlike, say, the Bob McDonnell stuff, an official act did occur here which directly benefited Trump. Moreover, the money was also donated illegally through a charity, which itself illegally hid the donation. He did the same thing with the Texas attorney general (now governor), and has bragged about how he can get politicians to do whatever he wants when he donates to them. Outside of a document popping up where one of them directly admits to corruption, I'm not sure how much more evidence there could be.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) This multi-page voter fraud argument has me considering killing myself. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing it? Hold on, we're gonna need some photo identification before we can take any votes on how you should kill yourself.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) I don't know how to answer you. Tell us why you doubt that the law was created to suppress black voters, given (a) the evidence of intent, (b) the fact that it would cause a strong disparate impact between races, (c ) the legislators inability to justify the claimed rationale for the law, and (d) the obvious political benefit they had to gain.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) You just kind of seem overly concerned with my personal opinion on Johnson. I didnt say anyone else cant like him. Sorry if I was overly snarky. I don't even really like Gary Johnson.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) mandatory vaccinations. Not something that Im very passionate about because I dont have children but in general I dont like the government forcing people to do stuff. They're not mandatory in a general sense; no one is making you get any. They're a prerequisite for entry to public schools. If you don't want to vaccinate your kids, that's cool*, you can homeschool them or find a private school that likes disease. *terrible

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) There are clips of Johnson talking about issues and he doesnt align with libertarians. I dont care how s***ty the video looks, it shows actual examples of Johnson speaking on topics. It was made by a libertarian who dislikes Johnson because of those views. It explains Johnsons positions on the TPP, immigration, refugees, spending and I disagree with him on all of them. Also, wtf does this have to do with Trump? I said numerous times on here I dont support Trump and have openly criticized him? Were getting a little ridiculous on this site with attacking people simply because you dont agree with their politics. I wasn't attacking you; I just think that video is horribly cringe-worthy. Gary Johnson doesn't promote a 100% ideologically pure version of Paul Johnson Watson's libertarianism? WHAT AN IDIOT I mentioned Trump because Paul Joseph Watson and his website are pro-Trump. How someone could knock Gary Johnson for lack of libertarian ideological purity while supporting Trump is mind-boggling.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) Thanks for the contribution. You're welcome. Got any more sweet vids from PrisonPlant/Infowars explaining why Donald Trump is THE choice for small government libertarian freedom lovers?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) After seeing this video of Johnson there is no way Id support him anymore. He really doesnt come close to being a libertarian and clearly is in way over his head. I don't know how you got more than 60 seconds into that video.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) You presented a leftist court ruling. My argument is that you can't say one way or the other and you and others have basically shown that with the links that you all provided. I don't think you've even once addressed the fact that the legislators compiled race-based statistics on voting practices as they were writing the law, or the fact that the changes made by the law directly related to all the practices used disproportionately by black voters. Sounds like nothing short of putting the N-word throughout the law would convince you.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) I did. Of a completely liberal court. No surprises really. Were you expecting surprises? It was pretty obvious what the NC legislators were doing.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) I read the PDF as well as the left leaning Washington Post article. It's pretty bold to accuse this of being a race driven event IMO. Why is it bold? The legislators did research to determine which races use which voting practices and then wrote the law. You can't seriously think it's coincidental that they managed to hit all the practices commonly used by black voters, or that they wrote this law immediately after the VRA's anti-racial discrimination sections got neutered.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) Perhaps I have misread it months ago. I'm open to that. Can you provide an unbiased link to the bill for me to review? Just reading the bill isn't sufficient. You have to know the background and intent of it. The NC legislators literally researched race-based statistics on voting practices and then started banning all the ones used disproportionately by black people, with no real justification. Their research found that one voting practice was used more often by white people: mail-in voting. This is also the form of voting MOST prone to fraud. The law left it untouched. http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/BillLookUp/...mp;BillID=hb589
