This appears to be one of those megachurches. They have their own TV network by golly.

My guess is either Trump is paying the guy directly to to go through this charade, or they are doing it for all the exposure (and therefore money) it could bring into their 'church'.

Just on a "hunch", I googled "Wayne T. Jackson scandal" and wouldn't you know it!

"Wayne T. Jackson mounts man during ceremony - Youtube".

At some point, America has to have this moment. I believe.

That's a very weird video. The people who are making it controversial are even more nutty though.

For a moment I though that Trump was going to have to face a Hispanic female moderator but that's the VP debate.

I'm glad people are finally seeing Giuliani for what he is. The guy managed to get a lot of goodwill from 9/11, but since then he has been nothing but a political opportunist and snake oil salesman. His support goes to the highest bidder.

His worst moment was the GOP convention. That was pure crazy, it was actually kinda sad to watch. Looked like a guy who was losing it mentally in front of the rest of the world.

Clinton should skip the Chris Wallace debate. Not a single person who would ever vote democrat would question it.

WP thinks that's about 9.6 million jobs.

Taco trucks on every corner would win the election for Hillary by a landslide. Lots of jobs and lots of tacos. What's the downside here?

And of course she just had to fly to Harambetown by mistake. This #### is so beyond absurd at this point.

Once again there is more hammering on Clinton's email today because of the FBI release. One thing that I find really interesting is the excuse that is being used by Clinton and her campaign that she apparently couldn't understand classified conduct because of a concussion that she suffered and because of a blood clot that she was dealing with. If these issues were creating such a problem for her in her daily operations shouldn't she have been placed on some sort of medical leave?

Trump might be an idiot and incompetent but Clinton really doesn't look much more attractive as a candidate.

What? Who does she think she is, Dennis Wideman?

“Is there any way to get a breakdown of the 2008 voter turnout, by race (white and black) and type of vote (early and Election Day)?” a staffer for the state’s Republican-controlled legislature asked in January 2012.

“Is there no category for ‘Hispanic’ voter?” a GOP lawmaker asked in March 2013 after requesting a range of data, including how many voters cast ballots outside their precinct.

And in April 2013, a top aide to the Republican House speaker asked for “a breakdown, by race, of those registered voters in your database that do not have a driver’s license number.”

Months later, the North Carolina legislature passed a law that cut a week of early voting, eliminated out-of-precinct voting and required voters to show specific types of photo ID — restrictions that election board data demonstrated would disproportionately affect African Americans and other minorities.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...5bc_story.html


True story, about a year ago I was seriously considering moving to North Carolina. I'm honestly not sure I can tolerate being associated with that disaster of a state now. They've done a lot of really awful, really dumb things in recent memory.

Donald Trump criticized Hillary Clinton on Sunday for not knowing what the "(C)" label meant when it was used on her State Department emails.

But the Republican presidential nominee apparently doesn't know what it means either.

"Lyin' Hillary Clinton told the FBI that she did not know the 'C' marking on documents stood for classified. How can this be happening?" Trump wrote on Twitter.
Quote:
John Noonan, a national security adviser to Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, observed that Trump had incorrectly ascribed "classified" to the "C" markings -- they actually denote a lower security status, "confidential."
