you would think if Trump was actually trying to win he would tone down the crazy after winning the primary
He's a megalomaniac, also always needs to be about him, not to mention delusional beyond repair

Though Nixon was easily as bad, the only reason I wouldn't mention him in this context is that he pulled his shit even before he got elected.
As bad? Nah what Reagan pulled was treason

What an utter shitcunt of a human being.

The guy literally turns my stomach.

Slandering the family of this fallen soldier, suggesting the wife isn't allowed to speak because they are muslim.

Disgusting.
But he's not a Democrat so he will get a pass

Nixon too though.

Needlessly prolonged the war for years purely for cheap political gains, killing hundreds of people in the process.
Reagan negotiated with iranians before getting elected and gave them weapons despite an embargo imposed by the US, if that is not clear as day treason i don't know what is

Yep, Trump has sacrificed by working hard and building great structures, and having tremendous successes.

Yes Drumpf. Having great successes is a huge sacrifice.

And then he claims that Hillary's scriptwriters wrote this father's speech. :sergio:

What an idiot Trump is.
You and I are possibly richer than Trump, the man is bankrupt in almost every sense of the word. It wouldn't surprise me if his tax returns reveal a negative net worth.

It is, I'm not arguing against that :D

You just said that he was the only one that's guilty of this, I'm saying Nixon is too, although with the technicality that he wasn't president when he pulled his shit.

Btw halfway through "The illusion of control" right now, so far it's pretty much a vintage copy of what I & the left over here have been saying for years. Fortunately, there's a really really strong opposition to TTIP in Austria, dozens of huge campaigns (been active myself a few times), and both our presidential candidates have promised not to ratify the treaty - which in theory would be enough to stop it from happening, as every member state of the EU would have to ratify it.

Of course people are however already furiously searching for a legal loophole where that won't be the case :sergio:

And @X I take it that you (in princple) agree with what he's saying? You absolutely should support guys like Sanders & Warren then, they are even both mentioned in the article - and they need every support they can get, considering they can't rely on the machineries they're fighting against.

Dunno if this is the financial influence talking - having to pick winners and losers when investing, but X has a pretty strong aversion to betting on the losing team. Talk to him about any political initiative that aims to challenge/disrupt the status quo and he will dismiss it as futile and not worth his time.

Some people are dreamers. Some aren't. :D

Hedge fund money loves Hillary. Forza Democrats, the new Wall Street party!

Dude. Trump's delight for Putin and Russia is a big problem. As much as I dislike Hillary, Trump is the obvious worst choice. Russia is still the biggest threat to freedom. I don't know why more people don't realize this. Even the Muslims here thinks he's some sort of savior, even though he bombs the $#@! out of everything down there due to geo political reasons.
How is Russia a threat to freedom for us? Just curious on the specifics.

"Owners and employees of hedge funds have made $122.7 million in campaign contributions this election cycle, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics—more than twice what they gave in the entire 2012 cycle and nearly 14% of total money donated from all sources so far."


She made more than Trump but there's been 122 million in contributions overall. She made 48 mill. It's just that no one thinks they'd benefit anything from contributing to Trump. Also his run wasn't even being taken seriously until recently.
