United States Corrupt Twattery

[Wij]

The story hasn't got much traction yet.

 

[Gumbo]

Wait, that was the big new leak?

I'm with tom on this one.

 

[Wij]

Trump backers realize they’ve been played as WikiLeaks fails to deliver October surprise

 

[ECA]

Yeah he honeydicked everyone good.
Releasing actual leaks once per week for the next ten weeks though, per Assange.

 

[Raven]

Well seeing as half of it is to massage his own ego its pretty standard. If he was 100% into doing it for the sake of releasing info he would just dump the lot instead of prick teasing.

 

[Raven]

Fence, wall...

Not seeing much difference.

Totally agree. The problem is, if you're racist, you don't care - you just look at the spick mouthing off and wish her and her supporters would die out...

I am still utterly bewildered how a country with 318 million people can decide that these two muppets are their best hope for President. Trumps issues are well documented, but Hilary worries me just as much. The email server "issue" and apparently lying to the FBI about it, Benghazi, the fact she is pretty much in Wall Street's pocket, the "Basket of Deplorables" comment, her standing up for women's rights when her husband has spent the last 20 years pretty much ignoring them, etc etc.

Is there an option on the ballot sheet for "Go away and give us a candidate who isn't a liar or a maniac (or a muppet who doesn't know any world leaders or where Aleppo is).

 

[Tom]

I'm voting Bartlet.

 

[Bodhi]

Actually the Evan McMullin chap looks fairly normal - a non-batshit Conservative who used to be high up in the CIA. Of course being an Independent he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell, but seem to be the only semi-normal one in the race from what I've seen.

Although Gary Johnson looked promising until his memory lapses, so McMullin is probably a mental too.

What you mean is, she's a typical politician.

As opposed to a disgusting lunatic.

Trump is by far the best bet, he's a full of shit businessman.
He won't follow through with anything and would be the opposite of the racist everyone who falls for his bullshit claims he is.
He will put America first to improve its economy, stop wasting money on wars that waste billions with no tangible benefits, he'll just do the celebrity circuit and bullcrap his way through his term.
Seriously there are far too many people listening to politician hot air and not enough standing back to figure out what wull actually happen, it's like the England world cup squad every four years.

Job in supporting trump shocker! #FlatOutRacistsUnite

 

[fettoken]

@Job you might actually be right, but i'd say the chances of that are diminishing. Still, I'd have to hedge my bets with a facepalm.

Hillary will keep the stock-market going up though, and is the safest bet when it comes to Europe, so I'm definitely going with Hillary, we'll just hope she's at that age where she figured out what's important and not fucking everyone over for the benefit of huge corporations.

 

[Gwadien]

I don't understand why people don't want Hillary to be President, she's just bad at lying, that's the only difference between her and her predecessors, par Obama, cos he's black, and he's alright.

 

[Ormorof]

Hes also good at lying and not following through on his promises, so like most politicians

She's a giant cunt who offers no change. Just like Obama.

Trump offers change. Just bad change.

No I mean, but even the people that hate Trump aren't going to vote for Hillary because of all the bullshit that she's done, sure, it's shit, but I'm pretty sure if we're going to be totally honest it's not miles away from what others have done in the past.

Obama offered change, but couldn't do it due to losing the HoR (IIRC?) Only if he could have another term, it would be incredible.

 

[Raven]

As said, much like in the UK, people have to choose the least shit option. Depressing but that's global politics atm.

[Tom]

There is a man who has never had to pay the price for failure. Never had anyone tell him no (apart from the Scots). Never had to deal with anyone tougher than himself (because he only buys from smaller companies) who fucked him over.

I don't think he'll win but if he does, it says a lot about US politics. At least in the UK, our nutters are confined to Nigel Farage (who'll never be an MP).

 

[caLLous]

It already says a lot that these are the 2 people that America thinks are best suited to running the country.

 

[Tom]

I think it's more the case that these are the two people whom American businesses and thus, the two major parties, think are suitable. The US public just isn't interested in looking at the issues, they'll just vote for whoever validates their prejudices.

 

[Raven]

Christ, he can't help himself.

If you're famous you can grab 'em by the pussy:

[Job]

He's become a comical boogie man and people are holding up their own bigotry and agendas against his pantomine persona.
He is a glorious example of the immaturity of the entire tower of capitalism, everyone should know better than to recoil from such obvious setups, it's like the entire liberal world has become the audience of X-Factor.

Apart from he's applying for the most important job in the world, which if he was doing it as a joke then that's possible more ridiculous than his actual policies and views.

 

[Raven]

Seeing as pretty much everyone that matters in American politics thinks he is a moron, very little of what he wants to do will happen. If he wins (and I am not so sure now) He will spend 4 years battling the senate and then go back to selling flats.
