US General Election Thread III: Clinton vs. Trump

[Wallenburg]

The picture is oddly wide and not very tall, it was probably cropped to give just that impression.

A hand-job from the Donald ... I'd probably laugh too.

So Donald Trump used his fake charity to pay off Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi with other people's money so that she would drop a lawsuit against his fraud-ridden "university".

He's a one-man Mafia.

Now, now, I'm sure that after a careful consideration of the evidence and the applicable law, Ms Bondi simply decided that it was not in the interests of the people of Florida to ... to ... p-purs ,,, No, I can't, I just can't! *runs away*

She was made an offer she couldn't refuse.

Well, yeah, he's basically been waving it in front of everyone's faces the whole time. He's ostensibly in the construction industry, up to his eyeballs in political corruption and manipulation, thinks that nepotism is the absolute best way to run a "business", and he gets everyone to call him "The Donald".

Don't give him that much credit, he probably had people under him do all the hard work.

Like that John Barron guy, his spokesman or whatever.

I'm just pointing out its a legit picture size

nah they think Clinton will win easily and just want to pretend that its a horse race and that they aren't totally in the tank for her.

It's the hideous "fairness doctrine."

"Okay, so we have to find negative things to report about Secretary Clinton."
"Uhm, why, sir? There aren't that many and they aren't anywhere near as bad as the stuff Trump has done."
"Because we have to be fair! That means they're both equally good and equally bad."
"But ... she's way better than he is."
"Great Caesar's Ghost! What part of 'fair' are you having trouble with, Kent?"

Cute.
Except what has Trump done?
He is not the one with a thirty year political career that has yielded what exactly?
Yeah, Donald is a wonky cartoon character of sorts, but a country has not burned down under his watch yet. One could sure, but Hillary has actually logged the hours and lost people under her watch. She cant have the benefit of the doubt.

Numerous bankruptcies, Trump University, using funds from the Trump Foundation to pay off his private ventures, countless gaffes, hypocrisy, blatant ignorance of diplomacy, and in some cases calling for an end to civil liberties not good enough for you, huh?

Huh! Change a couple of things and change a name and it begins to describe the current person that currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Apt. 1A

In the sense that that is all encapsulated within a subjective media narrative with little or no future real world applicability? No.

If my choice is between a picture of the Loch Ness monster, or the monster.
I will take the picture please.

No it's not?

The image size is probably bigger for me due to browser zoom (the NS text is too small on default zoom) but I can see the aspect ratio is 1.85:1

That's US Widescreen Cinema ratio ... which is plausible. But a more likely ratio is 1.77:1 (aka 16:9) which is digital HD video standard and digital TV standard.

I mean, if you live in a different version of reality, sure.

Yes, it's a "subjective media narrative" to quote Trump directly or access publicly-available information. And his calls to deploy 20-30,000 troops to Syria and refusing to rule out the possible use of nuclear weapons has "little or no future real world applicability"?

Yet the Clinton Foundation, which has basically been found innocent of any wrongdoing, THAT is the big issue here?

She didn't drop the suit, rather she decided not to enter it. Actually according to her she never considered entering it ... which I don't believe.

The important point was that IT WAS REPORTED she was considering entering (on behalf of Floridians), and FOUR DAYS LATER the Trump charity made the donation. Whether or not she was corrupted by it, it was plainly Trump's intention to corrupt her.

Hey! WTF!
Doesn't it look like Donny is giving a handjob to Bill Clinton just out of camera range? They seem rather chummy. 'Where is Monica when you need her?" ...was probably the joke.

As a life long friend, Donald has been on a personal quest to straighten out that strange kink in Bill's tonsil wash dispenser.

He is a manipulator for sure. Tonsil wash dispenser... lol. Perhaps Bill thinks he has therapeutic semen and was kindly administering treatment to Lewinsky for a sore throat.
I would have loved to hear him tell the press that whopper.

It was released by Clinton's Presidential Library with 7 other photos. It was put up here as released and was unaltered. No conspiracy here, pal. Take it to Alex Jones.

Yes.

I'm very suspicious of Bondi's action as Florida AG and want it investigated. But it can wait until after November.
For a rather cynical reason: she's term limited and not up this year, and she hurts the Republican party more where she is than she would in prison.

I wasn't accusing YOU of editing the picture ..?

Actually, here's a version that wasn't cropped.

All pics are 1.5:1 (aka 3:2) and the version you used has been cropped top and bottom. But amusingly the fuller version actually looks MORE sexy ... Donny's hand is within inches of Bill's junk and could actually be touching it.

Slush funds aside, being indicted does not mean you are guilty, and not calling in a grand jury does not mean you are not, and just because you did not see it on tv does not mean it did not happen.
I am not wholly dismissing Trumps history. He has done what he has done, but it is of little national consequence, and as yet, does not affect my life directly.
Trump has no significant political history, so it is difficult to take his bloviating seriously.
I cannot say the same for the Clintons.
I have been intimately familiar with Clinton politics since they left Arkansas for the national stage. I do not have to see or hear Hillary to know what is going to likely occur when she has power of any sort.

YOU left it as an option by being unclear. I merely made clear what you didn't plus added some humor. No BFD.

The "actual" photo looks like Bill is getting unzipped by Trump. Why is his small hand there? What the hell was actually going on that day? No sign of Hillary that day either.
And I find it quite interesting that Bill's library's curator decided to release such a photo. Most have just slipped out.

So it's better to ignore evidence of what either candidate will do in favor of gut instinct and speculation?

I can't decide whether this is truthiness or bellyfeel.

Freedom of Information claim. By Politico actually! But they don't get an exclusive from that, FoI is public release.

Now that I've seen both versions, it could actually be that Politico cropped the pic to try to make it LESS suggestive?

Anyway, both versions are funny so NBD.

So I ran across this video of this Black Imam from New York that is normally Democrat, who is a total moron. He was giving an interview and said that he doesn't approve of either Trump or Clinton. Says that Trump goes against everything he believes but that it is clear to him that the Qur'an he believes in states that women should have no place in government. He complained, "what if Hillary is on her menses and pushes the nuke button?" He could simply be unaware that women eventually get to an age where they don't get menstruation anymore and become barren.
