The way I see it Trump is like a giant turd. And he really stinks.

But he rightly points out his stink only matches the stink coming out of Washington...all the time.

There's no question he is "out-of-the-loop" and he says he would restrict Muslim travel into the United States until the government "figures out what to do."

All of the questions raised in this forum have been discussed by government agencies for years yet the secrecy within the government means the average tax payer, you and I, are cut out of the loop and must take everything the government says as gospel. I don't like this. Terrible to not trust your own country but when they make public admissions that include the reason we let so many young soldiers die, toward the end, in Vietnam was because of some political saber-rattling, I distrust them more.

So for Trump to mistrust our government and demand answers, I say "right on."

I cherish the "lives" of American citizens over the "rights" of Muslims.

That's a great quote. One advantage/disadvantage of growing old is you remember past history differently than if you're just reading someone's biased view in a book or article.

For example, when I hear of the border crossings inspections and restrictions (between Israel and Palestine) it upsets me the impoverished Palestinians have to be so "put upon", but then I think back to less restrictive days when Palestinian killers used their relatively unrestricted passage into Israel to transport bomb making materials....to kill Israeli families and friends enjoying a cup in a local coffee house.

So do I support the present highly restrictive situation????? But, oddly enough, you can read many stories about how hard inspections and restrictions make life for the average Palestinians but they never seem to mention the reasons that make this necessary.

And Muslims around the world are upset that Trump doesn't trust them and this makes life hard for the average Muslim family in this country, but they NEVER tell you they have religious laws which may be preventing them from stopping the next terrorist killings.

The Palestinians remember history too, like when the Jews took over their lands by force.

Maybe Trump is actually helping Hilary? :twisted:


I said this back in July or so. Nice to see some people catching up.

Oh my, my OCD is flaring up. It just occurred to me that I used the wrong word - I meant "polls" instead of "poles". Oops. I guess I'm just thinking about Santa and the North Pole too much since it's Christmas time. :oops:

There's been some speculation that Trump is intentionally trying to sabotage his own campaign because he never really intended on going the distance, and doesn't want to drop out while he's polling so well. Little did he know there are so many idiots in this country. I think he could probably drop kick a puppy down a flight of stairs and rise in the polls. Scary!


Dude, you're the Idiot - it's just too bad you're too ignorant to know it.

I don't appreciate the name calling so knock it off.

I just want to say that any of you who will be voting for Hillary, then you will be voting for a murderer. She knew exactly what was happening in Benghazi.

Right, because nothing beats terror like self inflicted economic suicide.

I hate to break it to you, but unless you're talking to Hoover, you used the wrong word in your signature too.

:P

Look it up or stay in denial by keeping your head in the clouds. She didn't just "accidentally" lose all that information on her computer - it's the biggest coverup (a 100x's worse) since Watergate. I'm tired of talking to people who won't listen.

Are you making a funny, or is that all you have to come back with because you're pissed off with what I said?

You being wrong does not piss me off. I was just pointing out another one of your mistakes.

We'll have to agree to disagree on who is wrong. And you know what, I've made some mistakes in my life and if the one you brought up is one -I'm going to keep it there since it annoys you so much. I'm actually starting to like making certain mistakes. :mrgreen:

It doesn't bother me. Actually, I found it rather amusing, considering your OCD... :wink:

But, in the grand scheme of things, I really don't give a damn.

"Palestinians remember history too, like when the Jews took over their lands by force."

Certainly. So this means what?????? The Palestinians should be allowed to bomb at will in contrition? That their religion TELLS them it's GOOD to continue killing????? For what reason? Just hatred that will never end?? Do they want to kill all people of the Jewish religion? Where does it it stop?

If this is their thinking then I definitely don't want any such as neighbors, because it's clear from their actions they have a great hate for the Western world, and that includes me, my friends and neighbors; and it appears there is no "ordinary" Muslim willing to repudiate the actions of the killers, until after the fact.

and ANOTHER thing, mr.goonsquad..... plenty, I repeat, PLENTY of Muslims have condemned terrorism, you just refuse to look, because your heart is afraid of accepting the truth...
