One man brought more fear to the country than the entire GOP in the last 40 years

[Oldstyle]

I remember when John McCain was laughed at for saying he knew how to fix the economy and he would if he were elected president.

Donald Trump built a bleak and dark picture of an America that thankfully doesn't exist. Unless he is elected president.

It was an hour and a half of this:

Terrorists are pouring into our country. They are everywhere. In your backyard, on every street corner and they want to kill you. And Mexican rapist drug dealers are pouring in from across the border who want your jobs and they want to kill you. The infrastructure is falling apart. The bridges are falling down. The roads are falling apart and the sky is falling. Police are being shot everywhere and there is no law no order. The bodies of dead Americans are piling up everywhere killed by terrorists and Obamacare.
But don't worry. I know how to fix everything. Elect me and I will fix everything. I will cut taxes and pour money into everything and fix it.

And every word of it screamed at the top of his voice.

So the camera is moving around the hall and people are asked what they thought of Trump's speech and they reply, "It's exactly what I wanted to hear" "It's what is going on in this country". "Donald Trump will save us".

I don't live in this America.

This is the America I live in:

What Caused the Great Crime Decline in the U.S.?

Then crime rates went down. And then they kept going down.

By decade’s end (the 1990's), the homicide rate plunged 42 percent nationwide. Violent crime decreased by one-third. What turned into a precipitous decline started later in some areas and took longer in others. But it happened everywhere: in each region of the country, in cities large and small, in rural and urban areas alike. In the Northeast, which reaped the largest benefits, the homicide rate was halved. Murders plummeted by 75 percent in New York City alone as the city entered the new millennium.

The trend kept ticking downward from there, more slowly and with some fluctuations, to the present day. By virtually any metric, Americans now live in one of the least violent times in the nation’s history.

-------------------------------------

What is it about Republicans that they want to be terrified? Life is better and there is less pressure if you are not terrified.

You can go outside. No one from Chicago is going to kill you. Isis isn't hiding behind your back door.

Trump has convinced people they should be terrified to even go outside. But is that really any surprise?

Trump is known for his ability to fleece the unwary. He has a court date on 28 Nov for Fraud and Racketeering. If he loses his civil case, he opens himself up for criminal charges. If people aren't scared now and Trump becomes president, I think they will learn what real fear is all about.

Are you afraid, rdean?

Gawd, I hope so. I hope you people are terrified.

Our fear is for our nation... putting an arrogant, boastful, ignorant, ungodly, bombastic, narcissistic, lawless, dictator... wanna be god, tweeting perpetual liar in to the office of the President is concerning...and should be for any breathing American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what you're saying is that you WON'T be voting for Hillary in November?

Trump is not stupid. He knows that he has lost.He will double down on outrageous statements in order to get free press, but he is not going to spend the money that needs to spent to beat Hillary. From his point of view, it is a bad investment.

I listened to about 30% of it, and found that there were very few coherent sentences. Still, I enjoy Palin's' speeches. They are so surreal! Kind of like verbal Salvador Dali stuff!

Our fear is for our nation... putting an arrogant, boastful, ignorant, ungodly, bombastic, narcissistic, lawless, dictator... wanna be god, tweeting perpetual liar in to the office of the President is concerning...and should be for any breathing American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then why did you elect Obama? Twice?

 

[easyt65]

ISIS explode onto the world scene as a major terrorist threat after Obama's embarassing Red Line disaster, after Obama tried to blame 'the world'.

Obama then allied himself (again) wuth terrorists / ISIS, financing, supporting, arming, training, & protecting in exchange for their promise to help against Assad.

They played Obama, and he cpuld not control them. He betrayed our military by allowing ISIS to freely flow into Iraq to begin taking over much of the country our military had liberated already at great cost...WHILE he defended them, minimzing them as a threat by declaring they are a 'JVTeam'. They are gighting and dying again there because Obama gave them carte blanch to do so.

If they are a JV Team Obama got played and his ass kicked by a JV Team. This JV Team killed thousands of people who otherwise would not have died if he had taken any military mile-long ISIS convoys as they entered into Iraq.

ISIS embarassed Obama again in France. The next day after Obama moronically declared HE had ISIS contained they affected the largest attack on France since WWII.

When France and Russia launched bombing attacks against ISOS oil facilities (that funded 50% of their terrorist attacks - including the one on France - the one Obama had been defending) Obama treasonously dropped pamphletts warning his terrorist allies that the attack was coming.

That is TREASON!

Obama is a damn terrorist ally, always has been. He is an Islamic Extremist sympathizer, friends with domestic terrorists, the arms supplier / dealer for Mexican Drug Cartels, The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeida, and ISIS!

These are all DOCUMENTED FACTS, the links for which have been repeatedly posted on this board NUMEROUS times.

Add in the fact that this 'enemy of the state' has viokated both the Constitution and laws, has refused to obey abd enforce existing immigration and criminal law, has and continues to violate court orders, has been found in contempt numerous times, has aided and protected human trafficjers, has engaged in human trafficking, has and continues to protect federal kaw-violating cities and cabinet / administration mmbers such as AG Holder, Castro, Head of the IRS, and even Hillary Clinton...

Obama has been the most corrupt, treasonous, law breaking, criminal, law breaker-protecting, terrorist-aiding President in US history. He doesn't even try to hide it anymore because he knows his brainwashed party-1st sheep will follow and defend him no matter what.

Well, you've convinced ME! I'll never vote for Obama again!

Hllary is 'Obama 2.0'...withput a penis...

In his acceptance speech Trump said, "Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it."

Really? A man who has never set foot in the Oval Office and has never been in either house of congress on business knows the system better than anyone.

Apparently Donald doesn't know the system quite as well as he thinks he does. If he did, he certainly wouldn't be claiming that he alone can fix the system because the founders designed the system such that no one would have that kind of power.

He was referring to politicians being bought by lobbyist and big business.

She lied under oath before Congress. She lied to the American people.
What was in those 30+ thousand emails she told her lawyers to delete. She allowed people without security clearances to read her classified emails.
Comey couldn't convict her. Do you understand that?

Hillary is probably one the most scrupulously honest people in politics today. She can't afford not to. This does not mean she volunteers information so her opponents can report half truths and misquotes to fit there needs. Nor does it mean that she does not skirt around the truth at times as all politicians do. Nor does it mean that she does not change positions on issues. Nor does it mean she has not made mistakes or issued conflicting statements in literally thousands of interviews, speeches, quotes, testimonies, investigations, and written material over a career that spans 50 years in the public spotlight.

Has Hillary said things that turned out not to be true. Of course. However, before swallowing all the bull shit about Liar Liar Hillary, I suggest you consider the definition of a lie, "a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive. If you look closely at what Clinton says, I thing you will find that she is more honest than most politicians today.

Hillary is probably one the most scrupulously honest.... lol

You are absolutely insane. Or, brainwashed minion. Or intentional voluntarily ignorant partisan hack.

I'm not sure what you are..... but you are obviously not a rational thinking individual.

Simply repeating a lie over and over does not make it true. I understand it is the only hope Trump has of being elected and that many voters will believe it but again, that does not make it true. Hillary as compared to other politicians today is certainly more honest.

That's probably the worst insult you can possibly use against today's politicians, considering she's done nothing but lie during the entirety of this election, and her time in politics in general. You'd have to be delusional to think she's less of a liar than... well, anyone, really.

No, only if you listen to Republican attack dogs. They've been after her for at least 20 years so there's plenty of bull shit to read.

For decades she’s been portrayed as a Lady Macbeth involved in nefarious plots, branded as “a congenital liar” and accused of covering up her husband’s misconduct, from Arkansas to Monica Lewinsky. Some of this is sexist caricature. Some is stoked by the “Hillary is a liar” videos that flood Facebook feeds. Some of it she brings on herself by insisting on a perimeter or “zone of privacy” that she protects too fiercely. It’s a natural impulse, given the level of scrutiny she’s attracted, more than any male politician I can think of.

When I say she is honest, it's relative. In the eyes of the public there are no honest politicians. If a politicians promises to vote for a bill and he doesn't he's a liar. If he votes for the bill and it doesn't do what he promised, he's a liar. He says he's for the tax and changes his mind, he's a liar. If he say's he didn't send a classified email because he doesn't recall doing so but actually did, he's a liar. What Hillary does is tell the absolute truth as she understands it without offering any additional information which may allow the listener to come up with the wrong conclusions. It's not lie. It's just not the whole truth.

Moral relativity, a hallmark of the regressives. Lies of omission and convenient memory are still lies.

[Freewill]

Actually I hope then know they have nothing to worry about. As they predicted with the nomination Trump can't possibly win. They might as well stay home.

I am still hoping against hope that the GOP will at least retain control of the Senate.

But I fear that they (the GOP) have blown it so bad now with this Casino Pirate that they (the GOP) will lose everything in November.

Then divided government goes out the window.

yiostheoy,

Do you really want to reward the kind of savotage that the GOP have been doing for over a decade now...

Trump is the conclusion to the No compromise policy enacted in 2008... Rem Obama actually tried to deal with them at first but anyone caught was branded a RINO and cacused by the TP...

Trump isn't even a consevative, he is a facist by most definations...

Too funny.

But then, taken to the extreme, better fascism then the Democrats' Communism. At least the fascists kept the trains running.

With China and Russia both voting for Trump, that should be everybody's clue that he is a madman.

I hate to disabuse you of your delusions, but China and Russia don't get a vote in our election.

They get to cast their ballots right before ISIS casts their ballot for Mrs. Tuzla Clinton.

 

[Care4all]

Our fear is for our nation... putting an arrogant, boastful, ignorant, ungodly, bombastic, narcissistic, lawless, dictator... wanna be god, tweeting perpetual liar in to the office of the President is concerning...and should be for any breathing American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't vote for Obama....

 

[Wry Catcher]

It doesn't require a degree to understand that hate and fear is unhealthy, and what we have seen this week (and for years) from the conservative fringe of the GOP is that in spades. Those of us with advanced degrees who have watched the progression from a home of the brave into a nation dominated by the NRA ideology and fascist rhetoric - which we heard last evening from Trump - is at best disturbing.

"Law and Order!" is mindful of the Nixon Agnew ticket it, the Reichstag Fire and the 'strong men' who ruled in other nations at other times in world history. Don't be fooled, those who fail to study history are doomed to relive it.

You are afraid of your own shadow, aren't you?

Nope. I can go to the grocery store, to a ball game and to a movie unarmed (well I always have my wits) and never once feel concerned. Now, if I went to Pete's for coffee, and some clown(s) decided since they can to come and have coffee armed to the teeth, I would walk out, not out of fear, out of disgust.

Yet you are terrified of a real estate mogul....

Not all all. Trump is both a demagogue and a charlatan.

Law and Order is mindful of Spiro Agnew, another conservative who went down in a cloud of criminal indictments. He (obviously) told you what you wanted to hear, he did it well that I admit, but so have demagogues and despots over the years.

Keep this in mind, it's best to watch the feet rather than the lips, it's not what someone says what they will do, it is what they have done and will do. Given Trumps rhetoric, I am reminded of Nixon's campaign in 1968. HIs message was "I have a plan", to end the Vietnam War - it took he and his administration two years to decide on the shape of the table for the Paris Peach Talks to begin, and the war didn't end with honor, it ended with the panic seen on national TV at the US Embassy in Saigon SIX years and tens of thousands of our soldiers and sailors deaths later.

"Demagogue" is a meaningless term.

BTW John Kerry's presidential campaign message was "I have a plan", dipshit.

Kerry probable did have a plan, Nixon, the facts in evidence are proof, he didn't.

Demagogue is a meaningless word?

Are you stupid or is this an off the cuff thoughtless remark trying to protect The Donald?

(could be both stupid and making a thoughtless remark would fit nicely)

Q. What is the end goal of ISIS

A. I have some ideas as do others who think about such issues [unlike Trump and his trumpeters who react with emotion to the hate and fear]:

1. Radicalize Muslim's living in the West
2. Kill and maim the civilian population by acts of terror
3. Create panic in the native population (in France, Germany, Turkey, the US, etc.)
4. Panic, hate and fear motivate the voters to vote for any easy fix; Trump promises to provide it
5. Trump has no viable plan, since he rejects diplomacy for Brinkmanship.
6. ISIS won't blink, their leadership can produce Suicide Bombers by the hundreds
7. Thus, Trump and his supporters have been manipulated by the ISIS long term plan
8. And if Trump sends US troops into Syria, or N. Africa he will throw gasoline on the fire.

Only Islam itself can counter the efforts of ISIS to meet their goal - to win a war of attrition. If we follow the lead of Trump and other's who believe the fire power of our military is the only solution to this vexing problem, we are playing into their plans.

We need to:

a. STOP scapegoating all of Islam
b. Find out who is funding ISIS, and stop the flow of money
c. Kill the leadership when opportune
d. Expand Intelligence using technology
e. Change the dialogue: ISIS is nothing more than a criminal gang (there is no war on terror)
f. We need to capture, bring to trial and if convicted execute its leadership in the World Court (see: Nuremburg Trials for an example).
g. Solve the Israeli / Palestinian 60+ year war with a two-state solution.​

In watching the political news this year, I have learned that Cruz's father was up to no good with Oswald, that Illegals were taking my job of picking grapes, that muslims are going to behead me, that Obama is a sleeper agent from Kenya, and that Hillary is going to come in the middle of the night to takes my guns away.

No wonder I order my groceries online and have them left outside my front door!

That is one hilarious post.

ISIS explode onto the world scene as a major terrorist threat after Obama's embarassing Red Line disaster, after Obama tried to blame 'the world'.

Obama then allied himself (again) wuth terrorists / ISIS, financing, supporting, arming, training, & protecting in exchange for their promise to help against Assad.

They played Obama, and he cpuld not control them. He betrayed our military by allowing ISIS to freely flow into Iraq to begin taking over much of the country our military had liberated already at great cost...WHILE he defended them, minimzing them as a threat by declaring they are a 'JVTeam'. They are gighting and dying again there because Obama gave them carte blanch to do so.

If they are a JV Team Obama got played and his ass kicked by a JV Team. This JV Team killed thousands of people who otherwise would not have died if he had taken any military mile-long ISIS convoys as they entered into Iraq.

ISIS embarassed Obama again in France. The next day after Obama moronically declared HE had ISIS contained they affected the largest attack on France since WWII.

When France and Russia launched bombing attacks against ISOS oil facilities (that funded 50% of their terrorist attacks - including the one on France - the one Obama had been defending) Obama treasonously dropped pamphletts warning his terrorist allies that the attack was coming.

That is TREASON!

Obama is a damn terrorist ally, always has been. He is an Islamic Extremist sympathizer, friends with domestic terrorists, the arms supplier / dealer for Mexican Drug Cartels, The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeida, and ISIS!

These are all DOCUMENTED FACTS, the links for which have been repeatedly posted on this board NUMEROUS times.

Add in the fact that this 'enemy of the state' has viokated both the Constitution and laws, has refused to obey abd enforce existing immigration and criminal law, has and continues to violate court orders, has been found in contempt numerous times, has aided and protected human trafficjers, has engaged in human trafficking, has and continues to protect federal kaw-violating cities and cabinet / administration mmbers such as AG Holder, Castro, Head of the IRS, and even Hillary Clinton...

Obama has been the most corrupt, treasonous, law breaking, criminal, law breaker-protecting, terrorist-aiding President in US history. He doesn't even try to hide it anymore because he knows his brainwashed party-1st sheep will follow and defend him no matter what.

I've posted timelines showing the rise of Isis.

You are repeating GOP talking points.

I remember when John McCain was laughed at for saying he knew how to fix the economy and he would if he were elected president.

Donald Trump built a bleak and dark picture of an America that thankfully doesn't exist. Unless he is elected president.

It was an hour and a half of this:

Terrorists are pouring into our country. They are everywhere. In your backyard, on every street corner and they want to kill you. And Mexican rapist drug dealers are pouring in from across the border who want your jobs and they want to kill you. The infrastructure is falling apart. The bridges are falling down. The roads are falling apart and the sky is falling. Police are being shot everywhere and there is no law no order. The bodies of dead Americans are piling up everywhere killed by terrorists and Obamacare.
But don't worry. I know how to fix everything. Elect me and I will fix everything. I will cut taxes and pour money into everything and fix it.

And every word of it screamed at the top of his voice.

So the camera is moving around the hall and people are asked what they thought of Trump's speech and they reply, "It's exactly what I wanted to hear" "It's what is going on in this country". "Donald Trump will save us".

I don't live in this America.

This is the America I live in:

What Caused the Great Crime Decline in the U.S.?

Then crime rates went down. And then they kept going down.

By decade’s end (the 1990's), the homicide rate plunged 42 percent nationwide. Violent crime decreased by one-third. What turned into a precipitous decline started later in some areas and took longer in others. But it happened everywhere: in each region of the country, in cities large and small, in rural and urban areas alike. In the Northeast, which reaped the largest benefits, the homicide rate was halved. Murders plummeted by 75 percent in New York City alone as the city entered the new millennium.

The trend kept ticking downward from there, more slowly and with some fluctuations, to the present day. By virtually any metric, Americans now live in one of the least violent times in the nation’s history.

-------------------------------------

What is it about Republicans that they want to be terrified? Life is better and there is less pressure if you are not terrified.

You can go outside. No one from Chicago is going to kill you. Isis isn't hiding behind your back door.

Trump has convinced people they should be terrified to even go outside. But is that really any surprise?

Trump is known for his ability to fleece the unwary. He has a court date on 28 Nov for Fraud and Racketeering. If he loses his civil case, he opens himself up for criminal charges. If people aren't scared now and Trump becomes president, I think they will learn what real fear is all about.

Looks like Democrats are afraid of one single man. In fact rdean is pushing fear right in this thread.

Pretty funny.

Are you denying Obama had pamphlets dropped to ISIS at their oil facilities while French and Russian strike aircraft were in-bound?

You are ignoring facts.

In his acceptance speech Trump said, "Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it."

Really? A man who has never set foot in the Oval Office and has never been in either house of congress on business knows the system better than anyone.

Apparently Donald doesn't know the system quite as well as he thinks he does. If he did, he certainly wouldn't be claiming that he alone can fix the system because the founders designed the system such that no one would have that kind of power.

He was referring to politicians being bought by lobbyist and big business.

Hillary is probably one the most scrupulously honest people in politics today. She can't afford not to. This does not mean she volunteers information so her opponents can report half truths and misquotes to fit there needs. Nor does it mean that she does not skirt around the truth at times as all politicians do. Nor does it mean that she does not change positions on issues. Nor does it mean she has not made mistakes or issued conflicting statements in literally thousands of interviews, speeches, quotes, testimonies, investigations, and written material over a career that spans 50 years in the public spotlight.

Has Hillary said things that turned out not to be true. Of course. However, before swallowing all the bull shit about Liar Liar Hillary, I suggest you consider the definition of a lie, "a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive. If you look closely at what Clinton says, I thing you will find that she is more honest than most politicians today.

Hillary is probably one the most scrupulously honest.... lol

You are absolutely insane. Or, brainwashed minion. Or intentional voluntarily ignorant partisan hack.

I'm not sure what you are..... but you are obviously not a rational thinking individual.

Simply repeating a lie over and over does not make it true. I understand it is the only hope Trump has of being elected and that many voters will believe it but again, that does not make it true. Hillary as compared to other politicians today is certainly more honest.

That's probably the worst insult you can possibly use against today's politicians, considering she's done nothing but lie during the entirety of this election, and her time in politics in general. You'd have to be delusional to think she's less of a liar than... well, anyone, really.

No, only if you listen to Republican attack dogs. They've been after her for at least 20 years so there's plenty of bull shit to read.

For decades she’s been portrayed as a Lady Macbeth involved in nefarious plots, branded as “a congenital liar” and accused of covering up her husband’s misconduct, from Arkansas to Monica Lewinsky. Some of this is sexist caricature. Some is stoked by the “Hillary is a liar” videos that flood Facebook feeds. Some of it she brings on herself by insisting on a perimeter or “zone of privacy” that she protects too fiercely. It’s a natural impulse, given the level of scrutiny she’s attracted, more than any male politician I can think of.

When I say she is honest, it's relative. In the eyes of the public there are no honest politicians. If a politicians promises to vote for a bill and he doesn't he's a liar. If he votes for the bill and it doesn't do what he promised, he's a liar. He says he's for the tax and changes his mind, he's a liar. If he say's he didn't send a classified email because he doesn't recall doing so but actually did, he's a liar. What Hillary does is tell the absolute truth as she understands it without offering any additional information which may allow the listener to come up with the wrong conclusions. It's not lie. It's just not the whole truth.

Moral relativity, a hallmark of the regressives. Lies of omission and convenient memory are still lies.

"Moral relativity", is that like supporting Capital Punishment and opposing Abortion?

Pretty funny.

Trump has very little concept of how much weaker the office of POTUS is than that of the CEO of a Corporation. He can make a mess of things with his bellicose speech, and create a climate of fear in our foes and our allies, but there is very little he can do without the Congress, and believe it or not, there are a few adults on both sides of the aisle who are members in the Congress and will have a greater say on policy than he and his followers are aware.

"Pretty funny" is another post well worth deletion. I wonder why people post thoughtless remarks such as "Pretty funny"? A post I don't find the least bit funny, but very pitiful, for the author has demonstrated no ability to write a rebuttal and thus defaults to ad hominem lite.
