Today Trump was tweeting about the Star Of David controversy again. He found a Disney coloring book with a similar star and was complaining that the media didn’t pick on that coloring book.

I’m not sure why he cannot say “Hey I didn’t mean to offend”. 🤷
Does Trump know that the CEO of Disney is Jewish and a Hillary donor?

Because that plays right into the culture of perpetual victimhood which he’s working against. The point isn’t that he should be sorry if people were offended, the point is that it is utterly, thoroughly idiotic to be offended in this situation. Don’t feed the trolls, show everyone what mouth-breathing morons the trolls are.

You have a point. People should stop being offended by what other people say, including people who are offended by what non-whites say about whites, conservatives who are offended by what liberals say, Catholics by what non-Catholics say.

Do I have that right?

Nailed it. :cool:
 
I’m noticing an interesting trend in this thread: Those who personally support Ms. Clinton tend to emphasize what the Republican Party should do - namely, overthrow the will of their own rank and file - and say little about what individual voters should do. Those who support Mr. Trump are the opposite: Emphasizing individual actions over actions by the party.

Just interesting to me how people’s posts tend to indirectly reflect the philosophy of their chosen candidate.
I am not a Trump supporter, but I will vote for him because he is the only alternative to Hillary that has a chance to win. As for individual actions over those of the party, what are the primaries for?
 
I suppose that the best we can hope for is a 1976 Reagan speech which means 4 years of Hillary Clinton if the delegates can’t fix what’s broke!
With Hillary’s “poor judgement” documented, anyone but Trump would have a landslide election. Shame on the GOP unless they can pull it out of the fire.
 
This election is going to make for the weirdest entry in history books.

“Mr. Richards, what happened with the 2016 election?”
“Well, Camille, there was this business guy, Donald Trump was his name, running with the Republicans and he was a bit of a loudmouth that nobody liked except for the people who really liked him, and then the lady running with the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, was a politician – former senator, Secretary of State under the last president, Bill Clinton’s wife – do you remember Bill Clinton? Anyhow, she had a couple of bad spots on her record and she was another smarmy, slick politician as far as the people were concerned, and those were the two people running.”
“That sounds awful, Mr. Richards!”
“Yeah, that’s what everybody then thought too.”

Funny. I’m not a Clinton supporter, but I will probably hold my nose and vote for her because she is the only alternative to Trump that has a chance to win.

She showed poor judgement in this one particular case. But everyone makes mistakes and shows poor judgement on various occasions in their life, or perhaps almost everyone here in CAF is perfect. Considering how some of her predecessors at State including Colin Powell conducted themselves in similar circumstances, I don’t think that this case is all that clear cut. Comey already admitted that the culture of the State Department in general on security issues left something to be desired and that undoubtedly started before Clinton’s tenure as Secretary. :rolleyes:

That, by definition, is a Clinton supporter.🤷

So, who won?

Colin Powell did not have a personal server. Don’t you want to see the difference?

She consistently displayed excessively careless, negligent, sloppy, reckless behavior and for years as Secretary. She is not just incompetent but carelessly incompetent and then covers this with deceitful lies and joking at that whe busted. Like her scrub the server interview.

She has no business being President after conducting herself this way, with clear incompetence and not only incompetence , by a deadly wanton non caring attitude. The most absurd suggested thinking I have heard this year is that this tragic behavior should be rewarded. Quite the opposite, it should rejected, pointed out as an example and well elaborated on as a lesson of what should never happen with “others lives” Go tweet about your nails and children when you get home, not on my watch.

Sickens me at the thought such a cunning, calculating and excessively careless and without a care in the world person who should know better, should even be considered for anything at this point. She should be banned from government service, blacklisted, she’s not a positive but a verified negative to lives and not “just” Americans but all the way to the unborn. she obviously could care less.

After a life long civil service as First Lady, Secretary, Senator and from college forward. The only question anyone that should be asked is not even she should have another chance, but how much other damage for all those years exists and was lied about.

Maybe so, but then she outright lied about several points of fact. I would rather see Sanders run against Kasich or Rubio.
 
I don’t know about landslide, but she is highly beatable by a good candidate that offers a clear conservative vision. That ain’t Trump!
Who, then, was?

Most conservatives consider Cruz a “true conservative” with a “clear conservative vision”, but he lost to Trump. Is there really a compelling reason to think he would have been more attractive to voters nationwide than he was within his own party?

I have me doubts.
 
Im not sure she ascended to this obedience as of yet with abortion and the Methodist Church for that matter.
“It’s important to note that the Church’s statements on social issues, such as abortion, represent the effort of the General Conference to speak to human issues in the contemporary world from a sound biblical and theological foundation. They are intended to be instructive and persuasive, but they are not church law and are not binding on members. Members will hold differing views on abortion. There is no requirement for members to agree with the Church’s view.”

I agree. The appeal of Trump to many is that he does not neatly fit into a political box, either conservative or liberal, and appears to be more independent. Cruz, on the other hand, is clearly conservative.

I wonder if Cruz will speak to this at Trump’s convention and remind conservatives what it means to clearly be conservative.
 
Wow!

Trump only has $5 Billion.

22,450 employees.

No telling how much Bill and Hillary are actually worth.

I started reading “Clinton Cash” and have been outlining and taking notes. After two chapters, it looks like $105 million for Bill and $145 for Bill and Hillary [from “facilitating” (approvals from CFIUS … Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. … the transfer of U.S. uranium to Rosatom … in Russia … with Canadian intermediaries and the dictator of Kazakhistan]. [Somebody “said” it was 20% of U.S. uranium, but the book says 50%.]

No telling how high the Clinton totals will go. There are 11 chapters in the book.

Supposed to be tens of millions from Saudi Arabia and other places that disrespect women.

[Is it ALL from foreign countries???]

Stay tuned, as I continue to outline and summarize each chapter.
Chapter 3 of “Clinton Cash” by Peter Schweizer is about Russia again. Goes into more detail.

Many trips to foreign countries. Half a million dollars here … $2.6 million there.

About how one of the “companies” Bill does “business” with is, in fact, owned by the KGB.

Chapter 3 is where it is “divulged” that Russia now owns 50% of U.S. uranium.

Chapter 4 is about India. Bill loves Indian food. Clinton Global Initiative received between $1 million and $5million from Indian people. Before she became Secretary of State. At least three speeches totaling $780,000. India wanted to be able to skate free of the various Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaties. Read the chapter. Goes into a lot of detail; names names.

Chapter 5 is about the organization of the Clinton Foundation(s). Founded in 2001. Ira Magaziner. 350 staff members. Invented or devised “convening power model” … they don’t do any of the leg work. They get money from foundations and then give it back to foundations and create a deliberately confusing revolving door of staffers with the Dept of State. Bill gets $3 million and free use of corporations’ jets. Got $6.3 million from the sale of his book, “Giving”. Bill’s speakers fees $600K.

You gotta read this book.

Six more chapters to go.

Our early gangsters should have started the “Capone Family Fund”.
