2016 Presidential Election Thread

Oh, her handlers are going to care. Since she's never had to take an uncomfortable question (without lying her ass off as she did recently), she's not going to be prepared for what Trump will throw at her. She will make Jeb! look like a seasoned performer.

That's assuming she even goes to the debates. She'll probably make some excuses to skip them.

you mean the Russians with corrupt financial ties to your man and his lackeys?

You're probably right.

Making a bet with you over it would be a sucker bet.

But fuck, I'm just a sucker.

Let's bet our Avatars on whether or not she shows up.

Putin and his lackies have donated countless millions to Hillary, but that was to get access to key US high technology and our uranium reserves.

Wall Street Journal article

The Clinton Foundation, State and Kremlin Connections
Why did Hillary’s State Department urge U.S. investors to fund Russian research for military uses?​

Because she made a fuck ton of money, that's why. The amounts involved are in the billions. But hey, if she can't get rich sacrificing US defense secrets to our greatest enemy, how can she get rich? The head of Uranium One paid her at least $2.3 million, while the Russians paid Bill $500,000 for a speech.

And of course Hillary's campaign chairman, John Podesta, is in way deeper with the Russians than Monafort was, having sat on the board of a special company that was paid $35 million by the Russian government, money he did not disclose to the US federal government. And of course his brother, Tony Podesta, runs Podesta Group, which is paid $140,000 a month by the Saudis to tell Hillary what to do. Tony Podesta also represented Egypt when it was run by the Muslim Brotherhood, which explains why the State Department kept screaming about General Sisi long after the dust had settled. And of course Tony Podesta was paid $180,000 for the Uranium One deal.

Hillary and all her cronies make money hand over fist, raking it in from Putin, the Saudis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and just about every foreign oil interest on the planet.

which is why they are trying to bring her down...

Gotta love it when the right winger's tinfoil hat gets so tight they start proposing contradictory conspiracy theories.

What's contradictory about it? Hillary's been bought by everyone, just as she can be blackmailed by just about anyone.

If it is the Russians who are going after her, it's probably because a lot of Gulf states paid her a whole lot of money for a whole lot of evil, having her send weapons to ISIS and Al Nusra. That means they effectively own her, and thus US Middle East policy will be dictated by radical Sunnis. The Russians aren't going to stand for that because it's extremely destabilizing, even to Russia herself, and it puts their key regional ally's in the cross hairs.

It's simple black mail logic. If you're the only one who has the dirt on someone, you have power. If many people do, and perhaps have far worse things to use, then you're better off sweeping the board clean and going with someone who's honest, which at least lets you get a true read on their positions and likely actions.

Of course, from the US perspective, our intelligence people can't let her take office for the same reasons, so don't be surprised that if catastrophically devastating revelations don't come to light, she has a fatal accident. At some point just killing her would be in line with their sworn duty.

Since you seemed to have missed it. Probably got buried under your wall of verbal diarrhea.

Khan vs Crazy White Devil Trump in Ohio's governor's race.

Will it hold?

Except that Trump has dated a long list of models and actresses. The most Bill Clinton could hope for is to rape one of Trump's former date's hairdressers.

There's a syndrome named for men who can only sustain short-term relationships because they use up their bag of tricks in a very short time.

I can see where you and Trump have at least one thing in common.

Stop avoiding the key points fuckhead.

1 - What about your mans ties to the Russians

2 - Are you taking @Ancalagon up on his bet?

Trump doesn't have ties to the Russians, his campaign manager had ties to Ukraine. In contrast, Hillary is deep in bed with the Russians. She tried and succeeded at raking in tens of millions of dollars for the Clinton Foundation by setting up avenues for the transfer of US technical secrets to the Russian military, and Putin is now using those secrets to develop his hypersonic nuclear missiles and other advanced weapons.

She's a walking national security catastrophe, enriching herself at the expense of world peace and stability, because the big profits are generated by chaos and war.

Did you miss the reporting on all that?

New York Times

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

The headline on the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.”

The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.

But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

...

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.​

And that's early New York Times reporting. The reports kept getting worse. Hillary was deeply involved in the creation of some billion dollar deals designed to network US high tech firms with Russian partners, with the Russian government contributing billions to the effort. Needless to say she and her cronies made a fortune off that, too. The Pentagon has come out and said those ventures were funneling US defense secrets to the Russians, and the results were showing up in new and frighteningly advanced Russian military hardware.

New York Post story

Report raises questions about ‘Clinton Cash’ from Russians during ‘reset’

There’s more “Clinton Cash” trouble for Hillary.

A report out Monday, “From Russia With Money — Hillary Clinton, the Russian Reset and Cronyism,” raises serious questions about the cash connections between the Clintons and participants in the State Department’s failed five-year effort to improve, or “reset,” US-Russia relations during Hillary’s reign as secretary of state.

Key players in a main component of the reset — a Moscow-based, Silicon Valley-styled campus for developing biomed, space, nuclear and IT technologies called “Skolkovo” — poured tens of millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation, the report by journalist Peter Schweizer alleges.

As the Obama administration’s top diplomat, Hillary Clinton was at the center of US efforts on the reset in general and Skolkovo in particular, Schweizer argues.

Yet, “Of the 28 US, European and Russian companies that participated in Skolkovo, 17 of them were Clinton Foundation donors” or sponsored speeches by former President Bill Clinton, Schweizer told The Post.

“It raises the question — do you need to pay money to sit at the table?”

In one example cited by Schweizer, Skolkovo Foundation member and then-Cisco CEO John Chambers donated between $1 million and $5 million in personal and corporate cash to the Clinton Foundation, the report says.

But Skolkovo wound up making America less safe, Schweizer argues, because it shared advanced US technology that Russia can develop for both civilian and military applications, a concern raised already by Army and FBI officials.​

Sorry if your kids get vaporized in a Russian attack, or die defending Poland, but hey, Hillary Clinton and her cronies made a fuck ton of money, so you shouldn't complain.

Apparently naked Donald Trump statues were popping up across the country today as part of a project called The Emperor Has No Balls.


The statement from the New York City Parks Department on the matter of this statue in Union Square:

"NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small."

Bigger dick than @gturner 's

I can't stand Trump, but that's fucked up.

Trump pivots in North Carolina

He's also starting to spend money on ads.

Sucks for him that he's even on the defensive in the South.

Even in Texas. I saw something yesterday that his lead over Clinton is down to six points.

Right fuckhead. Lets see if you can offer any opposition points to this piece the BBC is running today on what has went wrong with Trumps campaign and tactics. Bonus points if you manage to keep to Trump and not the opposition.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37102763

Hillary's campaign tactics are not to hold a press conference - ever, and hope to escape the death penalty by either the electric chair or lethal injection, and to escape consecutive life sentences and outright assassination by her security detail. She will fail.
