I see that Trump has now managed to insult the mother of a dead Muslim American soldier

He asked a question about why she didn’t talk. He shouldn’t of said anything at all, but do you think when he said that, he was trying to insult her? What he said did insult her, but I doubt his questioning of her silence was a deliberate attempt to insult her.

I just noticed that Hillary Clinton has moved back into the lead in all the forecast models at Nate Silver’s 538 (“Polls-plus forecast,” “Polls-only forecast” and “Now-cast”). Trump had been ahead in the Now-cast and even in the Polls-only forecast for a while.

Probably because Clinton is getting the bump in the polls after the DNC. Just like Trump got a bump after the RNC.
 
They are just trying to plant seeds of doubt to offset the Clinton Foundation quid pro quo stories.

Thanks for posting.
 
Horrible weekend for the Donald.

Its not what he knows, or what he doesn’t know, its that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.

There is nothing wrong with being wrong…I do it all the time!😃

However, when you are wrong, you have to admit it and make amends. Failure to do so is either hubris, the inability to admit the truth, or the lack of intellect, hubris. Even worse is the possibility that perhaps his uncharitable speech and proposed actions are intentional and not just emotional outbursts…all of which makes him, in my opinion, unqualified for the highest office in the land.

I had been coming around to the contention that I needed to hold my nose and vote for him because he is the “lesser of two evils”. But, as time goes on, I’m not certain I believe a word he has spoken on any issue, so a vote for him may not be the lesser, but the greater evil.

God help this nation!
 
Trump’s campaign manager has extensive commercial interests in Russia, going back decades I do believe. He is “in the pay” of a foreign power; a foreign power dominated by the security apparatus of its state - the successor to the KGB, which is in turn consolidated under the iron hand of Mr Putin since the Russian Federation is a de facto ‘oligarchic thugocracy’. So, in other words, Trump via his aides is Putin’s would-be man in the White House.

It is now a well-known fact that the FSB is exerting every muscle in its propaganda outreach, as in through Sputnik, to spread disinformation that will land the Donald in the White House. He is entirely beholden to Russia - an enemy foreign power of the U.S. - and Putin’s vision of a post-unipolar world order in which the U.S. recognises Russia as a great power that can bully other nations in its neighbourhood. That’s why Trump is so eager to disband NATO

If there is one thing that will damage Trump’s credibility and chances of securing the presidency, it is this dangerous and unseemly ‘bromance’ with Putin. It feeds into the claims of those - myself included - who contend that Trump exhibits concerning authoritarian tendencies and cares little for the rule of law, which even more so than democracy is the foundational pillar of Western civilization.

Hillary was careless and grossly negligent with national security but Trump is directly cavorting with an aggressive foreign power that seeks to undermine America for its own gain. And he is open about his affiliation with said regime. He can get away with many things that others couldn’t but bending the knee towards the worldview of an antagonistic, revanchist foreign power and inviting that said country to breach American security is a bridge way too far.

If a foreign power can tell America “what we shall do, and what we shall not do,” Washington once told Hamilton, “we have Independence yet to seek, and have contended hitherto for very little."

“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence,” Washington warned, “the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake.”

I think that Trump and his supporters should heed the warning of Washington.

I agree it is good. But rank hypocrisy

I’m confused just a tiny bit. The New York post just published a number of racy pictures of his wife and he praised them as being artsy European.

Which, is odd. The GQ pictures are not available because the photographer owns the rights and won’t release them. How come these were released by the Post? Why wouldn’t a rich and powerful man secure the rights of scandalous pictures of his wife? I don’t know. To me it seems careless. Especially since he isn’t really adverse to suing people.

I think pictures of a naked or semi naked woman are just as tacky if they are published in the US or Europe. Nice potential First Lady ha ha ha

What about naked people on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel? His wife was a model. I’ve seen artists works of naked women before. Haven’t you? Statue of David by Michael Angelo? I like that statue even though it gives me the blushes.

How is this the same as pornography?

Yep. Nude pictures in a men’s magazine, that feature lesbianism and lesbianism s and m are just exactly like the Sistine chapel.

Fashion models model clothing, by the way.

So let’s just agree that prolife issues shouldn’t even be a consideration, because both Hillary and Trump will not be a friend to unborn babies.

The desperate wish for Democrat catholics who wish to justify their vote in contradiction to Church teaching.

This argument against Trump would hold more substance if you addressed the $150 million Clinton took from the Russians for approving the sale of 1/5 of the US’s uranium.
