A point has been raised about Clinton, she has been vetted loads of times. Especially as First Lady. etc etc.

What we have here is a politician, that is vastly experience in the field - yes, Trump etc is nothing but a businessman.

Trump cannot run the States, it will lead to major problems. He has started already, he is not there yet.

Someone also mentioned about all these women that has come forward, and the election is very soon.

Not changing the subject. A major newspaper caught Sam Ally Dyce in a scam. Look what happened to him.

If there are any serious problems with Clinton. I am certain The FBI would have done the right thing and arrested Clinton - But they didn't.

Trump is all mouth. And it would not surprise, that if Trump won. Someone will try and assonate him.

I didn't realise it was Alex Jones! The guy is amazing. He was a big 9/11 truther 10 or so years ago but recently he's becoming more famous. He has actually an influence on Trump apparently. This guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzNeg9D-EZ4

He was also in a book called 'Them' by Jon Ronson who met a lot of these characters a while back. Ronson has revisited that in the context of the latest campaign: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elephant-Ro.../dp/B01LXOO7UQ

worth a read.

This post literally broke the thread. Not sure whether I died at Ally Dyce or the bit where Trump gets assonated.

You raise Valid points but you fail to realise we don't live in Utopia, you'd be horrified to know the FBI aren't the definition of perfection and it's entirely possible to botch investigations, the entire reason people keep bringing it up is because it stinks of being botched. It's no use talking about how we'd know... How many of us knew the Americans were planning terrorist attacks on their own soil before they told us themselves they were? None bar unverifiable conspiracy at the time. So in reality you're not certain of anything, you're just certain of what you've been told by sources, like every other American Citizen that'll find out what their country has really been doing in another 50 years time. To break this down again.

FBI order Clinton to hand over X amount of emails > Far less than X turn up > Two vital witnesses are given immunity, sketchy when they appear to have offered absolutely nothing to warrant it > Closed.

Later, key witness Paul Combetta is found to have requested help in deleting emails that were requested by the FBI, a federal offence he can't be charged for because of the immunity deal. He implicates someone but now can't be questioned on who, naturally people assume Clinton to be that VIP someone that ordered the deletion and tampering of emails, again under investigation thus committing a federal offence for both the person who ordered it and the person who carried it out. Because Combetta is under no obligation to provide the name, nothing can be done.

Now when you see Trump followers making remarks about Clinton having the FBI sat in her pocket, you have a good idea why.

Alex jones is a prat i ended up at one of his videos on youtube claiming to show clinton giving birth to aliens and there were people taking it seriously he's a tinfoil hat nutjob and i was looking for videos on the q class ecig gotta love youtube. I don't like clinton or what she stands for but some of the trash getting thrown at her is bordering on insane and having the opposite affect then i think is intended in making her look more like a victim and therefore getting more sympathy then she deserves.

Re: US Election 2016
 
It's strange there isn't the same focus on the 22 million emails lost by the Bush Pesidency from a private server..

http://europe.newsweek.com/george-w-...s-497373?rm=eu
Quote:

Clinton’s email habits look positively transparent when compared with the subpoena-dodging, email-hiding, private-server-using George W. Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2009, the Bush White House “lost” 22 million emails. This correspondence included millions of emails written during the darkest period in America’s recent history, when the Bush administration was ginning up support for what turned out to be a disastrous war in Iraq with false claims that the country possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and, later, when it was firing U.S. attorneys for political reasons.

Like Clinton, the Bush White House used a private email server—its was owned by the Republican National Committee. And the Bush administration failed to store its emails, as required by law, and then refused to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking some of those emails. “It’s about as amazing a double standard as you can get,” says Eric Boehlert, who works with the pro-Clinton group Media Matters. “If you look at the Bush emails, he was a sitting president, and 95 percent of his chief advisers’ emails were on a private email system set up by the RNC. Imagine if for the last year and a half we had been talking about Hillary Clinton’s emails set up on a private DNC server?”

Most troubling, researchers found a suspicious pattern in the White House email system blackouts, including periods when there were no emails available from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney. “That the vice president’s office, widely characterized as the most powerful vice president in history, should have no archived emails in its accounts for scores of days—especially days when there was discussion of whether to invade Iraq—beggared the imagination,” says Thomas Blanton, director of the Washington-based National Security Archive. The NSA (not to be confused with the National Security Agency, the federal surveillance organization) is a nonprofit devoted to obtaining and declassifying national security documents and is one of the key players in the effort to recover the supposedly lost Bush White House emails.

Come off it Damien, she has told bare face lies to the Benghazi victims mothers. She has lied about her emails. A fairly large percentage of the American people are struggling to comprehend just how much of a bare faced liar Hillary Clinton is.

Below is a CNN news clip of a news anchor speaking to one of the mothers of a Benghazi victim....

Hugh 16-10-2016 17:24

Re: US Election 2016
 
Benghazi was terrible, with four lives lost, but the funding for security was cut by the Republicans in Congress/Senate, and what about the 20 attacks on US embassies and the 87 lives lost under George W Bush. There haven't been multiple enquiries into these...

http://www.tampabay.com/news/politic...and-60/2179435
Quote:

On MSNBC's The Ed Show, Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., said that "during the George W. Bush period, there were 13 attacks on various embassies and consulates around the world. Sixty people died."

On the numbers, Garamendi's actually understating the case.

Using the Global Terrorism Database and a news account that Garamendi's staff said was the source of his claim, we identified 39 attacks or attempted attacks on U.S. embassies and embassy personnel.

Of these 39 incidents, 20 resulted in at least one fatality.

Garamendi also understated the number of deaths. In the 20 incidents with at least one fatality, the total death toll was 87 — quite a few more than the 60 Garamendi cited.
There appears to be a one-sided focus on this, imho...

If I make a positive comment about either, I would be seen as a fan. If I make a negative comment about either, I would be seen as a supporter of the other.

But I can't think of anything positive about either of them, and I just think they are both total jokes.

But one of them is going to elected unless there is a revolt in USA politics.

All of those have been looked into as well though and didn't find anything massively disqualifying. The Benghazi investigation was led by House Republicans and it said they should have beefed up security but nothing else. Which is what I mean by the fact something else will need to come out.

I don't think Clinton is a good candidate either but the Republicans did put Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush up against her, they've put up Donald Trump. And if lying alone was the issue then Trump lies on a daily basis and not even 'political' lies but outright lies that contradict what he is on record as saying.

I don't believe anyone can legitimately vote for Trump because Clinton is a liar without it being a massive contradiction. The difference is in addition to that Trump is a racist, misogynistic lunatic who goes off on crazy rants.

I wonder how many more red flags Trump needs to flag at this point. In addition to his comments about women, minorities, his suggestion the election will be rigged he is also saying Clinton will be jailed and the media will be handled. We're talking about a Erdoğan figure here, a Berlusconi, but that appeals to people and the best defence I have heard of that is that he'll be physically stopped by the checks the US has.

Maybe because George W. Bush was the President and is no longer President, nor can he re-run for President, under the American Constitution.

If you want to know why there hasn't been any inquiries, go ask them, I am not interested.

What I am interested in, is that here we have, Hillary Clinton, a pathological liar, who is running for President and has told lie after lie, to the American people, she is not fit to run for the Presidency.

I am not saying Trump is the perfect candidate either but Hillary Clinton would make an absolutely horrendous President, given her past bad errors of judgement on many things while she was Secretary of State.

That tape was not poor speaking. Nor what he has said about other women. Or Mexicans.

A patriot doesn't say an election is rigged or suck up to Russia. Or what he said about McCain. That's where we are though. Someone who dodged the draft has a go at someone who didnt and went through torture is called a patriot.

You know full well she was a public defender, had to take the case, didn't 'get the guy off' and that she was laughing about stuff that happened on the case and not the victim or the accused.

http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinto...ghed-about-it/

Quote:

WHAT'S TRUE: In 1975, young lawyer Hillary Rodham was appointed to represent a defendant charged with raping a 12-year-old girl. Clinton reluctantly took on the case, which ended with a plea bargain for the defendant, and later chuckled about some aspects of the case when discussing it years later.

WHAT'S FALSE: Hillary Clinton did not volunteer to be the defendant's lawyer, she did not laugh about the case's outcome, she did not assert that the complainant "made up the rape story," she did not claim she knew the defendant to be guilty, and she did not "free" the defendant.

adzii_nufc 16-10-2016 20:12

Re: US Election 2016
 
That last one never happened in the way a lot of people think. I did explain it pages back.

Edit: Damien already did it.

Quote:

When Hilary was a lawyer - she was doing her job, protecting her client. - This was Trump being clever, days after being brought up on his nonsense he uses Hillary protecting a man from a rape charge. The point in this case he made was Hillary was then caught laughing about the case. He tried to make her look hypocritical. - General Explanation

My input on the Lawyer situation. It was to my understanding she never wanted the case, she was left with little option. Her laughing was never to points about rape or the victim. It was just twisted that way, not by Trump but by others for years previously. Trump merely brought it back up to use as ammo. A little digging and research into the subject will reveal that most of the story is warped in trying to make Hillary look pretty bad. So whilst Trump wasn't lying, he wasn't exactly presenting the proper facts of it. Source: http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinto...ghed-about-it/

This isn't me agreeing with anything, this is me explaining the ideas behind his statements in my own words and using sources to help you better understand what Trump was getting at. So you see, even if the last point is borderline BS, which it is, it doesn't matter, it makes her look bad because people are happy to eat it up without even questioning it. She laughed, but did she laugh at a 12 year old rape victim? No. Do people believe she did before or after? Yes. Trump used it for this exact reason. Again he's using facts but they're very skewed in his favour.
These weren't arguments presented in the form you think they were, they were presented in the form of attacking Clinton and her husbands reputation. They had nothing to do with any debate really.

Just to point out socialist/liberal aren't compatible. Most left-wingers in America closer to the liberal type. Sanders was closer to being a socialist. You'll find more liberals on the right rather than left (and I am not talking about libertarianism). If you think you hate liberals then go to a Corbyn-supporting meeting and you'll see people who really hate liberals.

Trump is a nativist protectionist. I.E He eschews world trade and free markets (or at least he suddenly has). I am not actually sure where you would place him on a traditional political compass. He isn't a traditional Republican though.

For some reason the corruption of 'liberal' used as a slur in the United States seems to be reaching our shores, powered largely by people watching / reading right-wing shock jock output.

I would say it's confusing for us since America is probably more along the liberal scale than we are but for the most part it's not something that easily breaks down between party lines, much like here. A true British liberal party would take in members from Labour and the Tories (alongside the Lib Dems obviously).

Precisely. Anybody with half a brain can realize what is going on here.

I don't agree with everything Trump says or does but he is the better option to Hillary, I am sorry, actually I am not sorry, but he just is, and I don't care what he said in private, in a video 11 years ago, I think saying he is racist is a bit far fetched as well (I know it wasn't you who said it), in that that he has many black supporters and of people from ethnic backgrounds willing to vote for him.

I respect many of my American friends judgement on him, many of my American friends, some who are successful multi millionaires, cannot stand the thought of HC becoming the President.

DJT would rock the establishment to it's core and well, HC is, or has been a part of it for many years. But it is her judgement which is called in to question here, she has done so many bad things, made many errors while part of that establishment and in my opinion, she isn't to be trusted, at all.

This election is going to be so damaging for the US socially that it's going to take more then either candidate has to fix it.

Re: US Election 2016
 
Trump's path to success has always seem to have been to significantly outperform Romney amongst white men without a college degree. He was doing that but the problem is that he is underperforming Romney elsewhere. White men with a college degree are usually Republican but it's a lot closer this time. Minorities he is doing worst amongst, so much so in fact that some of the Southern states might be in play.

If he loses though it's the women who'll cost him. Last time they were 52% of the vote and he is falling amongst that demographic like a lead brick.

As Pierre mentioned previously if Clinton does win both parties need to look at where Trump support comes from and look at their concerns.

He's just gone weird since that 2nd debate, well weirder. Yesterday he said Clinton was on drugs during the 2nd debate and maybe they should have a drug test for this debate. Read some the transcripts as well, he sort of goes off on a tangent about odd things. His attacks go from Clinton (will be in prison), his accusators (i wouldn't touch that) and his own party.

We already know what he'll do if he becomes president, build a wall and make Mexico pay for it and stop Muslims entering the country till 'we know what the hell is going on' and considering someone will have to explain it to him once we've found out what's going on that could take years.

Putin wants him in. The alt-right want him in. Other than that though anyone you could call the establishment dont.

Also I am wary of the term establishment (Trump is an apparent billionaire with a tv deal) but if you had to define it then it would be Clinton.

In fairness he doesn't. However, it's worth pointing out that until now, he has never been in a position to lie to the American People, unless you count The Apprentice.

Personally, I don't think anyone who openly advocates grabbing women by the pussy whether they want it or not should be anywhere near being the president. In fact I think it shows that something has gone gravely wrong with democracy that he has even got this far.

And yes, I have read articles on both sides of that fence. Clinton is not perfect. Hell, I don't think she is even a good candidate herself, but she is better than Trump.

As for whose voting. The polling since the first debate has been going against Trump. Clinton is further ahead this week than she was last week. No candidate has been as far ahead as her and lost the election.

For Trump to win then:

1) Something needs to happen that changes the dynamics of the race so far. Focusing everything onto Clinton.
2) Any 'hidden Trump' vote will have to be massive. All the pundits are searching of this as it's the biggest theory going as to why Trump might still win but it's hard to see where that hidden vote is.
3) Massively depressed turnout amongst women and minorities.

Probably a combination of all three.

They do very well out of these videos. If you take Trump's support and even say only 10% are really into it then that is still a huge audience.

One of the theories, backed up by some decent information, is that Trump might start an alt-right media network if he loses. It would explain his fixation with saying it's rigged (better to be the cheated candidate rather than the loser), he is a TV showman and he has close links with people skilled at it: Alex Jones, Steve Bannon. Alex Jones is only on the internet for now and Steve Bannon the web. So there is certainly an opening there.

That guy is but he isn't employed by the DNC and I need more than one guy to be convinced the Democrats have been rigging elections for 50 years. If I find a video of a Republican saying something like 'we'll perform a coup if Hilary wins' does that mean Republicans are planning a coup?

By all means this guy should be investigated assuming the unedited video doesn't change anything but to infer this is the entire Democratic party isn't going to hold. Also this guy has a history of using selectively edited footage.

Can't believe I watched a 17 minute long infowars thing.

Elections are run at state level. Clearly Republican governors and local officials routinely turn a blind eye to Democrat election rigging.
