WickedsDesire -> On a scale of 1-10 exactly how nuts is trump? (7/31/2016 2:09:20 AM)

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump drew outrage from Republicans and Democrats by mocking a dead Muslim soldier's mother who stood silently as her husband attacked him in a speech.

Mr Trump responded to the criticism in an interview with ABC's This Week.

"If you look at his wife, she was standing there," he said, "She had nothing to say... Maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me." haven't you infact just told us you raving loon

But former president Bill Clinton, the husband of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, said: "I cannot conceive how he can say that about a Gold Star mother."

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine said Mr Trump's remarks were inappropriate.
"He was kind of trying to turn that into some kind of ridicule," he said, quoted by AP. "It just demonstrates again kind of a temperamental unfitness. If you don't have any more sense of empathy than that, then I'm not sure you can learn it."
Some Republicans also rounded on their candidate.

Ohio Governor John Kasich, a former rival to Mr Trump for the Republican nomination, tweeted: "There's only one way to talk about Gold Star parents: with honour and respect."

Khizr Khan said in an interview on Saturday that Mr Trump was "devoid of feeling the pain of a mother who has sacrificed her son", the New York Times reported.

Ghazala Khan said on Friday that she did not speak during her husband's speech to the Democratic National Convention because she was still overcome with grief and could not look at her son's photos without crying.

I like what Dan Rather had to say

For all the artifice surrounding politics, for all the self-conscious messaging from politicians, it's sometimes too easy to forget that this is the manner in which we as a people govern ourselves. But every so often all of this stagecraft falls away and we are left with a pure and singular American moment.

The speech last night by Khizr Khan, a Muslim-American whose son - Army Capt Humayun Khan - died serving in Iraq, was perhaps the most chilling of the Convention. Mr. Khan pulling the Constitution out of his pocket, his wife standing beside him in her hijab, will be one of the images documentary filmmakers of the future might include in a montage of our times.

More immediately, this elegant act of patriotism struck a perfect note of defiance in the face of a swelling tide of bigotry and intolerance. It is the kind of unadulterated venerance for American exceptionalism and rule of law that you used to see at Republican conventions.

And I understand that many conservative commentators found it a very effective attack on the GOP nominee. They should. For it wasn't just the imagery but also Mr. Khan's words.

Looking into millions of American homes (and now countless millions more online and through social media) Mr. Khan delivered a devastating critique. “Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery?," he asked of Trump. "Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America.," And then came the final line destined for the campaign ads and the history books. Speaking directly to Mr. Trump Mr. Khan concluded, “You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”

Mr. Khan is not a politician, but a citizen of the United States thrust into the spotlight by tragedy. To me his words echoed another perilous era of divisiveness. In the tenor of his voice last night, as he spoke with a proud immigrant accent, I could almost hear the echoes of "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
What did you think of that moment last night? Did you watch it live? Is it something you find people are talking about? I would love to hear your thoughts.

An interesting conversation this evening watching the Sun go down. My really nice, but raving Right political friend (also islamophobic and deeply racist) who thinks HRC is the antichrist with menopause, of all people, brought up just how weird Trump's speech today was. Speculation from he and his ideological brother sitting with us went from Trump really Doesn't want to win, just get the headlines and the publicity of having been a Presidential Candidate, so he can make more money. To he's suddenly facing actual election and is panicking with the imposibliity of his coping with the task. To highly suspect mental stability to . . .
My suggestion Trump has long been understood to be a Clinton deep plant to erode the Republican party from within, gaining the Senate and maybe the House in the general revulsion, was thoughtfully examined internally by both my companions. Comments that he is a classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder didn't go far, it taking too long to even begin to delineate what NPD is.
Maybe there is hope for America yet.

I dont think anyone could have planted trump. That s like planting the Corpse flower thinking it will become a rose some nine - ten years ago, and now its blooming. Its large its colourful and it smells like death.
But Ive been wrong before.

Donald Trump Makes The Most Absurd Defense Yet For Mocking Reporter With Disability

rump boasted about building wheelchair ramps and other forms of access for people with disabilities at a rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Friday night. He made the bizarre remarks in response to an advertisement Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign that attacked him for mocking a reporter with a disability. Trump has been widely criticized for contorting his arms at a November campaign event, in an apparent attempt to mock New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has a chronic joint disease that limits his arm movements.

“They do the commercial, like I’m mocking a person with disability. I’m not, I’m not,” the businessman told supporters.

“I spend millions a year, or millions of dollars on ramps, and get rid of the stairs and different kinds of elevators all over and I’m gonna mock? I would never do that,” he continued.

“Number one, I have a good heart. Number two, I’m a smart person.”

And there was me thinking that he only put ramps in his buildings because of evil nanny state legislation that forces him to provide wheelchair access.

Right. They had to take him to court to force him to comply with the disability act over that one, didn't they?
But, no, the lying little turd is being allowed to claim that he has ramps for cripples in his buildings out of the goodness of his own heart.
You couldn't fucking make it up...

Funny thing is he does it completely to himself....

This is a tough one to answer. Trump is right on quite a few issues, but the way he gets his point across is completely out of left field.

As far as "nuts": I will say The Donald is about a "3" while the anti-Christ is nuttier than a squirrel turd.

Lucylastic -> RE: On a scale of 1-10 how exactly how nuts is trump? (7/31/2016 6:57:19 AM)

And now he tries to walk back his comments

As fellow Republicans amped up their criticism of Trump, his campaign issued a statement late Saturday to “set the record straight” with a statement that Khan’s son was a “hero” and that the focus should be on the militants who killed him.

“While I feel deeply for the loss of his son, Mr. Khan who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution, (which is false) and say many other inaccurate things,” Trump said in the statement.

Here’s the transcript of the interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos:

STEPHANOPOULOS: I don’t know if you saw this speech, but there was a man named Khizr Khan speaking at the Democratic Convention last night. His son, Captain Humayun Khan, was killed serving in Iraq. And he had some very tough questions for you. He said you wouldn’t have even let his son in America.

TRUMP: He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know that. I saw him. He was, you know, very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me. His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. She was extremely quiet. And it looked like she had nothing to say. A lot of people have said that. And personally, I watched him. I wish him the best of luck.

STEPHANOPOULOS: What would you say to that father?

TRUMP: Well, I’d say we’ve had a lot of problems with radical Islamic terrorism. That’s what I’d say. We have a lot of problems, where you look at San Bernardino. You look at Orlando. You look at the World Trade Center. You look at so many different things. You look at what happened to the priest over the weekend in Paris, where his throat was cut, 85-year-old, beloved Catholic priest. You look at what happened in Nice, France, a couple of weeks ago. I’d say you’ve got to take a look at that, because something is going on. And it’s not good.

STEPHANOPOULOS: He said you have sacrificed nothing and no one.

TRUMP: Well, that sounds – who wrote that? Did Hillary’s scriptwriters write it? Because everybody that went out there, we also had John Allen who failed with ISIS. I mean, he was a general, Allen, General Allen. He went out. And he was ranting and raving. And then I read a report. He was in there for a number of months. And he failed with ISIS.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You saw Hillary say last night, you don’t know more than the generals.

TRUMP: Well, I’ll tell you, the generals aren’t doing so well right now. Now, I have a feeling it may be Obama’s fault. But if you look at ISIS…General McArthur and General Patton, they’re spinning in their graves. The generals certainly aren’t doing very well right now. And General Allen, after I saw he was on ranting and raving about me, who he never met, I checked up. Guess what. They weren’t so happy with him. He didn’t beat ISIS. He didn’t beat ISIS. He didn’t do even well with ISIS.

STEPHANOPOULOS: How would you answer that father? What sacrifice have you made for your country?

TRUMP: I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I’ve done, I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Those are sacrifices?

TRUMP: Oh, sure. I think they’re sacrifices. I think when I can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of their education, take care of so many things, even in military. I mean, I was very responsible, along with a group of people, for getting the Vietnam Memorial built in downtown Manhattan, which to this day people thank me for.
I raised, and I have raised, millions of dollars for the vets. I’m helping the vets a lot. I think my popularity with the vets is through the roof, far greater than hers. She’s done nothing. All she’s done is tell everybody that the vets are in good shape. They’re fine. And they’re not fine. People are waiting on line for seven days to see a doctor. She thinks it’s fine.

I didn't watch that video.
But Pakistani men does not have a good track record on how they treat their women, even if they may love their sons alot alot.

I think it's a good point about why the wife didn't speak.

I mean, dude came from a country where they assassinated their female Prime Minister because she's female. And high cases of any Female Ministers getting gun down, because they disagree with female on top.

Also, he really did use the death of his son to insult Trump. Personally, I think that is in bad taste by itself. Trump had nothing to do with his son's death. And he shouldn't use his son's death to insult somebody he didn't like.

Also, IF he was banned, technically, his son wouldn't have died for America too.

Why is he attacking Trump for? No correlation to his son's sacrifice and Trump's plan to keep the country safe from enemies who look alike to each other. Difficult to differentiate the good and the bad ones.

He's not nuts he's just not that bright. I'm pretty sure he's rocking a sub-90 IQ.

Basically Trump has - from day one - had a hundred million dollars of daddy's money to play with. His entire life has been built on playing with it and not doing all that well. He could've made more money by just depositing it all in the bank. He's actually an incredibly poor businessman.

Combine stupidity with wealth and delusion and you get Trump. Wealth gives you power and privilege. Trump's personality has been formed from a life cushioned by wealth giving him whatever he wants. He's internalised that as a result of his own greatness when in reality it's just been daddy's money paving his way through life.

He's not smart enough to understand how he got here, has zero self-awareness and has absolutely no filter. That's who he is.




WickedsDesire -> RE: On a scale of 1-10 exactly how nuts is trump? (7/31/2016 8:07:30 AM)

I agree 100% Awareness a two digit IQ ( I am serious) and daddies money..a deluded half, slow, wit...You are American and I know you have a mind - explain why your people chose him...help me understand this.

So he a simpleton and not nuts - expand further.





Awareness -> RE: On a scale of 1-10 exactly how nuts is trump? (7/31/2016 8:53:25 AM)

Oh, no. I'm Australian. I just married an American.

Trump's popularity is similar to Bernie Sander's popularity. If it wasn't for the Democratic Party's fraudulent behaviour and the insanity of African Americans voting for a woman who supported incarcerating them, the Democrats would have a decent nominee and he would have romped it home against Trump.

Basically, unchecked corporatism has create a lot of societal losers. The corruption of the Democratic and Republican administrations over the past 30 years, the fact that most senators on both sides of the aisle are complete fucking bought and paid for whores who shill for the corporate interests who own them, the continual contempt for the electorate by politicians of all stripes has created a bunch of really angry fucking people.

Republicans have lied to their constituents for decades. They've used nationalism, greed, selfishness and fear to manipulate the electorate into voting for them. And what that's done is created an electorate who respond to those ideas without thinking.

Trump is popular for two reason. First, because he's better at using nationalism, greed, selfishness and fear because he has no filter and no fear of consequences so he can go further.

And second, because despite what the Republicans have told them for decades, their constituents know that after 8 years of Republican administrations THEY'RE STILL WORSE OFF. They won't believe what the Democrats tell them, but they've got this sense now that their own politicians are a bunch of elitist fucks who've been lying to them. This is like Tea Party 2.0. The Tea Party was a Koch-Brothers enabled "grass roots" rebellion against the prevailing Republican oligarchy. Trump is this idea pushed to its limit. Republicans are voting for Trump because they want to tell the politicians who've lied to them for years to go fuck themselves.

Democrats are equally as bad. Their social agenda focuses on minorities and identity politics, promulgating ideas which are simple virtue signalling and have no basis in fact. However, underneath it all, they're still selling everyone out to the corporations. It's just different corporations. Bernie Sanders was the antidote to that and if they DNC hadn't been able to get away with fraud, it might have gone down to the wire. The African Americans might still have tipped the balance but it would have been a lot closer.

Basically Bernie Sanders was the Democrat equivalent of Trump. The difference is that - paradoxically - the Democratic Party is more intrinsically corrupt than the Republican Party. Despite claiming that superdelegates would not influence the outcome, EVERY DEMOCRATIC MEDIA ORGAN consistently counted the super-delegates for Hillary and thus fed the perception that she was much further ahead of Bernie Sanders than she actually was.

There was also instances of DNC corruption in changing the rules of primaries and caucuses to disenfranchise Bernie supporters. (Changing the deadline for enrollment weeks AFTER it had already passed was one example). Basically the DNC has no respect for the desire of the voters and has been planning to manipulate the outcome of the DNC nomination from day one.

It's important to understand that the Democratic Party moved to the right during the Clinton years as the Clintons promoted the "Superpredator" narrative which enriched the private prison industry by incarcerating so many African Americans. And it was Clinton's enablement of the repeal of Glass-Steagall which allowed the financial crisis of 2008 to eventuate.

A vote for Bernie is basically a vote to tell the DNC to go fuck themselves. It's the left equivalent of the anger on the right. Bernie voters know Trump isn't the answer, but they sure as shit known Hillary is just more of the same and they're not stupid enough to think having a vagina is remotely important when it comes to the Presidency.

So that's how we got here. Trump is an idiot and Clinton is a cynical liar. And I have every reason to believe that if she wins, African Americans are going to regret their unthinking support for her.

Except... I don't think she will. Both candidates are loathed. And I think the Republican voter's desire to tell the Republican Party to go fuck themselves is greater than the Democrat's desire to elect more of the same. Bernie would have romped it in. Both Democrats and Independents would have told the DNC to go fuck themselves. He would have crushed Trump without a doubt. Clinton is in real trouble and every emotion she displays in public is fake as fuck. Democrats now have no way of telling the DNC to go fuck themselves. And consequently, a lot of them are probably going to stay home.

Basically Republicans now have a nominee which allows Republican voters to express their anger at being left behind in the ongoing prosperity of the country. The Democrats have a liar who's had to push left to try and get their votes. Underneath it all, they know she's a liar and they don't trust her. The Democrats have no outlet for their anger and neither do the independents.

I think she's going to lose. Which, given the circumstances, is probably going to be really bad for America. She probably would have been better than Trump. Just not by much.




Greta75 -> RE: On a scale of 1-10 exactly how nuts is trump? (7/31/2016 9:15:30 AM)

FR
Interestingly from Bill Clinton's speech himself. Hillary started as a Republican. She identified as a Republican, and then later switch to Democrats.

And Trump identified as a Democrat first, and then switch to Republican just for this election ha.
