And for the past month CNN has been doing live fact checks.

But according to trump, fact checking him on things he's said is libel because you know, he said he never said those things.

And he wants to reform libel laws so he can sue the crap out of everyone who criticises.

But he's not some sort of thin-skinned authoritarian like Barack HUSSEIN Obama, you know? No, sir. Not at all.

And that's why Trump is the toughest most presidential candidate ever... because he's a weak-willed pansy who'll cry and flee at the first sight of difficulty. God bless America. 8)

trump should bring up people who Obama has held in those FEMA camps and had their guns taken, while being forced to convert to islam. So trump should pay about 50 actors.

I won't argue with you on the interventionism, as I consider it a problematic part of her approach, as well. However, Hillary Clinton does at least have a record of fighting for the things that she says that she's going to fight for.


Interventionism has been one of my biggest gripes with the political establishment in the US basically for as long as I've been old enough to understand politics.

Ah, that takes me back...


Reminds me of this old post of mine. :lol:
Yeah...why do you think he took our guns in 2010 through the Death Pannels of Planned Parenthood, which were part of his Marxist conspiracy to install an anti-Christian fundamentalist Muslim dictatorship led by baby-eating gays?

So that he could frame this kid for the Boston Bombings, which were actually an inside job to divert the public's attention from the fact that Benghazi was a coverup for the FEMA death camps that Obama set up for Tea Party groups investigated by the IRS, because otherwise he would not have been able to spy on AP through ACORN's black ops, in his never-ending quest to hide the fact that he married a gay guy in Harvard...all of it a part of his plan to indoctrinate our children into believing that George Washington intended us to be a communist regime like Stalin's.

It's all there...in Obama's REAL Kenyan birth certificate!

But I can't prove it...so you'll have to take my word...plus some unrelated terms like "progressivism", "tsars" and "oligarchs"...as proof.

And then later on all 50 actors file a lawsuit complaining that Trump stiffed them on their payment.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

MSNBC decided that he was too controversial, so they booted him, then Current TV didn't live up to their promises, and he criticized them in public for it, so they booted him.

Trump Delights in Media Misfortune as Press Corps Shows Up Late

Donald Trump, who has enjoyed a strained relationship with the press during the general election campaign, had a message for the crowd who attended a Thursday night rally in Laconia, New Hampshire.
“I have really good news for you. I just heard that the press is stuck on their airplane. They can’t get here. I love it,” Trump told the crowd of several hundred, according to transcripts posted on Twitter by NBC News. “They’re gonna be about 30 minutes late. They called us and said ‘Could you wait.’ I said ‘Absolutely not.’ Lets get going, right? Let’s get going New Hampshire.”


Trump openly treats the press with contempt when they don't suck his dick and wants it easier to sue them over butthurt but they keep pitching softballs at him and ignore his avalanche of scandals because ratings and false equivalence.

The plane was a chartered and organized by the Trump’s campaign. The journalists and their organization paid for the space in order to stick close to the Republican standard bearer.


Once again Trump screws people out of their money. It's pathological.

Why didn't he just keep saying stupid shit then?

I personally think he tried to keep his mouth under control, with some limited success, and then lost control again because he's Donald Trump and not saying stupid shit is for losers!
