If he was president, she would have been packing 6 semi-automatic weapons and would have mowed down the perpetrators.

Trump has cited problems in American inner cities as a reason why he believes African-Americans should vote for him. Speaking in Des Moines, he said crime and poverty in urban America "offends my sense of right and wrong to see anyone living in such conditions."

"They are living in terrible, terrible conditions -- beyond belief conditions. Bad," Trump said.

As he ticked down a list of poverty and crime statistics -- deploring in particular the numbers of shootings in several major American cities -- the Republican nominee bashed Democratic policies and argued that "it can't get any worse."

"To those suffering, I say, vote for Donald Trump. I will fix it. African-Americans, Hispanics, vote for Donald Trump. I will fix it. It will be fixed. And I add -- and I add it in all sincerity -- what do you have to lose?" Trump said.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/27/politi...ade/index.html

Don't worry folks, he won't tell you how he'd fix it, just trust him. Just vote for him and he'll figure it out later. He's got not time for pesky details explaining exactly what he'd do.

In a way I can see the logic in the gist of his message. These areas have voted Democrat for a long time, and things haven't really been getting much better. So why not.

Of course it falls apart completely as a result of not being able to believe a word he says and because of the recent history of the Republican party.

For sure, I can see why he's trying anything. But if I was a black voter fed up with the gun violence in places like Chicago I'd have a tough time voting for the candidate who is being endorsed by the NRA and rails on Hillary for wanting to do anything with gun control.

I think his point is that if he was president, he would deport all the bad black people (the rapists and murderers) to Mexico and none of this would ever happen any more.

The south side of Chicago being overrun by illegal immigrants will surely be news to the people who live there.

It's all about trying to be palatable to college-educated whites. He has no illusions that he's going to get minority votes, but by doing this "outreach" it could help him with white people who didn't like the overtly racist tone of most of his campaign up to this point.

I agree with the last few posts, you're missing the point.

College educated white/female white: "I want to vote Republican, but I don't want to be viewed as racist because I watch Ellen and she doesn't like racism"
Trump: "I so badly want to help these African American's get out of their awful lives!"
College educated white/female white:
"I can vote Republican and not feel racist because Trump cares about black people! Honey! We can watch Ellen and vote Republican!"

If the Tweet about Wade's cousin was his best effort to show tolerance to be palatable to educated whites, then I think we are all safe in knowing he doesn't have a chance. He might as well tweeted that he is not racist because he has a black maid.

Yup, this "appealing to black" seems to only highlight how much he sounds like a racist.

Reminding people of his weaknessess is becoming a real theme for his campaign. It's crazy how inept they are. Or really how inept Trump is, because as many have commented the biggest problem with the Trump campaign is Trump himself refusing to be 'handled'.

(Anyone still thinking "if he was a president he'd just let the experts handle the real politics" should take note.)

A lot of this video goes on about how ######ed the MSM is, regarding Trump. How any of you can read, post and agree with any of it, is just insane.



If any of you even watched the whole thing, hopefully you're a bit more, enlightened. To the rest of you, let the brainwashing continue!

If anyone has the time or inclination to watch/listen to a guy read various media quotes in a Powerpoint presentation, I suggest you watch this video.

If you don't want to do that, you are ######ed, insane, and brainwashed.

Enjoy!

I think my favorite part of Trump supporters like BlAcKNoVa is that they truly, deep down believe that Donald Trump is going to follow through on what he says. That despite all of the many examples and many people who say he's at best a grifter and at worst a total fraud, that his word to Trump supporters is guaranteed to be followed through with. That they're the special ones, the first group ever Trump is going to be 100% honest with, and 100% committed towards, and that he will never mislead or lie to them, and that he'll never betray them.

That's why there's always the hidden reward if Trump does win, getting to see how his supporters react when he turns into W part 2. Getting to see how they handle TPP getting passed, and amnesty for illegals, and more jobs being exported than brought back. They think Trump cares about them and not the estate tax and eminent domain. I'd feel sorry for them if it weren't so funny.

If anyone has the time of inclination to watch/listen to notorious racist, MRA, pathological liar and cult leader Stefan Molyneux bore you to death, watch this video.

I'm gonna put myself out there with this one: He has a sex addiction

Quote:
Ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner appears to have deleted his Twitter account after a report surfaced Sunday that he sent a photo of his crotch with his toddler son in the background.

Twitter now says that @anthonyweiner's account "does not exist."

Weiner, whose career ended after a sexting scandal, was reportedly exchanging messages with a woman on July 31, 2015, when he changed the subject of the explicit conversation, saying, "Someone just climbed into my bed," the New York Post reported.

He then attached a picture of his crotch, with his son curled up nearby.

“You do realize you can see you[r] Weiner in that pic??” the woman responded, according to the Post.
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...witter-account

The Post cover, mandatory NSFW

NSFW!


Be ready for Weiner joke overload today. Then again without his dick pics would we even know this guys exists?

Isn't he still married to Clinton aide Huma Abedin?

You'd think that she'd give him some pointers on email security...

I don't have the first clue who this person is, but at this point you saying this kind of stuff has become diluted to the point where it has basically no effect. Especially "notorious"; I've never even heard of the guy. What's "notorious" about him? Do you actively go looking for these people? When you're not here, are you on Stormfront or some KKK subreddit?

Also this:

If
1. You think the most reliable information sources are videos from YouTube;
2. You think people who disagree with you are "brainwashed" by the "MSM"; and
3. You think that you have insight into a hidden, secret truth only available to people like you who have "done their research," then

You are a conspiracy theorist. That is just the way it is.

Ok. I got through about 20 minutes and skipped through a bunch, but I can't watch it all.

The guy says it's unfair how the media picks on The Donald basically. One example is how he denigrated John McCain because of his getting captured (and subsequently held as a POW). This clown's argument is that the media should have not made a big deal about it because McCain said something mean first.


Honestly BlAcKNoVa, does this video mean something to you? How would this sway anyone with a discerning mind? It doesn't say anything bad about the MSM.
