While Putin has been making aggressive moves to intimidate democratic Europe, Trump has said that he would not be committed to defending Europe against a possible Russian invasion.
Clinton, like every Democratic and Republican president and presidential nominee since World War II, stands with NATO and stands with the democratic nations of Europe.
While Russia’s Putin and Syria’s Bashar Assad have been killing major numbers of civilians in Syria through massive bombing, Trump has been sounding as though he would permit Putin and Assad to take any action.
While Putin has been dismantling any semblance of a free press in Russia, Trump has been attacking the very underpinnings of a free press in America and issuing dangerous sounding warnings to our journalists.
While Putin has been quietly supporting separatist movements in Europe, Trump has been championing Brexit, which took Britain out of the European Union, and campaigning like various extremist far-right parties in Europe.
While Putin has been praising Trump, Trump has been praising Putin in return, which is consistent with Trump’s praise of various other dictators, something no Democratic or Republican president or nominee has ever done.
Trump has made a series of statements that are unprecedented for any nominee who seeks to be commander in chief.
He said, absurdly, that he knows more about fighting terrorism than generals.
He implied, recklessly, that many current military leaders should be fired.
Trump said, shamelessly, that he would order commanders and troops to commit acts of torture, which would be illegal, which leading commanders have said constitute orders they would be morally and legally bound to refuse to obey.
Why are we supposed to hate Putin? Yeah, I understand the whole Communist scare thing. I did grow up in the 50s. But, why is it necessary to hate Putin? Do we really need to have the WW3 that we so narrowly avoided with earlier presidents who were more interested in engagement than in hate? Why do you on the left hate so much? Give it a rest. Put your candy down and grow up for Pete’s sake.
Only ONE candidate has advocated use of nucular weapons (your mentality level is on par with the great W so there you go).Trump has publicly stated he wanted to preemptively launch a nucular. Meanwhile ONLY in your wet dreams has or will Hillary ever want a nuclear war.

Trump, GOP paying consultant dogged by voter fraud charges
.
Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee have paid at least $1.8 million to a political operative whose roster of companies include several that have been repeatedly investigated for voter registration fraud, even as Trump has complained that the election is rigged against him.
An election night scenario – “It has been a very tight race with Hillary and Trump almost neck to neck. We really wouldn’t be able to tell until the vote counts come in from Vladivostok.”
In his paper titled “Trump University and Presidential Impeachment,” Peterson argues that fraud and racketeering accusations that Trump is currently facing in three ongoing lawsuits regarding his business school may count as high crimes and/or misdemeanors. Peterson, who recently took an academic hiatus to work in enforcement at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, knows what he’s talking about: The professor, who focuses on financial services and consumer protection, spent the past four and a half years determining the validity and reality of—and bringing cases against—banks and other financial providers, payday lenders, mortgage brokers. Or, as he aptly puts it, “deciding when a case has legs.”There are three ongoing cases against Trump that could head to trial sometime after the November election, which collectively accuse him of fraud, false advertising, and racketeering. In his latest analysis, Peterson argues that, barring settlement, the fraud and racketeering allegations in The People of the State of New York v. The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative LLC; Low v. Trump University, LLC; and Cohen v. Trump University, LLC count as serious and imprisonable crimes in the states in which these cases are being tried, and could also be deemed grounds for impeachment by Congress.
Donald Trump was permitted to be shoved down the throats of the American people by Corporate TV News executives who knew full well that his entire persona was a fraud, but didn’t care as long as the profits kept rolling in. Meanwhile, the poisonous consequences to the country of deliberately allowing the public to be misinformed about Trump’s background and his profound unfitness for any role in public service did not even cross their minds.
.
As a result of that conscious decision, the American people were served up a phony spectacle by the likes of CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC which drove a bogus and constant barrage of pure Trump PR early on in the campaign that many Americans eagerly swallowed because it was “legitimized” by the primary source of news for 57% of Americans, Cable TV. Meanwhile, other Presidential candidates were shunted to the sidelines and received virtually no coverage at all.
.
That is the conclusion reached by Allan Chernoff of Newsweek who, like many of us, is appalled by the caustic events of the last year and the debasement it has brought to our country.
Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.
“But last week Trump finally did say something real about climate change ― that he would cut all federal spending on the issue in order to save $100 billion over two terms in office. Bloomberg BNA caught this particular nugget buried in the “New Deal for Black America” plan Trump released last week, which pledges to “cancel all wasteful climate change spending.”
Today the New York Times posted a video “Unfiltered: Voices From Trump’s Crowds,” featuring footage its reporters have shot at Republican nominee Donald Trump’s rallies over the past year. The video aims to capture the tone of the language used among fans at Trump crowds, language that often revolves around hatred and violence, and is filled with crude slurs.
.
It is a sinister sight to watch. Masses of people shout racial slurs against Hispanics and our black President, they call for the lynching of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and they hurl anti-LGBTQ epithets. Trump has styled himself as the only viable outlet for hatred that has been teeming under the surface for years. There are some ideological concerns voiced at Trump rallies – it is, for example, a valid political point of view to be staunchly opposed to illegal immigration. However, it often seems as though the real purpose is a defiant vocalization of rage and hatred.

Someone already pointed out that the Observer is owned by Ivanka Trump’s husband. Trump’s own son is on the record for saying Russian money has been a major source of their loans. Maybe if Trump would release his tax returns, we’d know the extent of Russian money in Trump’s finances. Maybe.
“I am astounded by how many people think the Russians are coming.”
.
The Russians aren’t coming here & not a single person has suggested as much. Russia simply doesn’t have the military capability to deploy a major military force across an ocean, Господин Hyland.
.
Russia does have the ability to continue destabilizing the Middle East & threatening our NATO allies in Europe. Which candidate has said things that undermine NATO & give Russia free reign in the Middle East? Hmmm…
.
Like I said, you look a heck of a lot like a paid poster for Russian interests.
This is a commercial operation, and they sometimes exercise their right to delete the worst of the worst, particularly personal insults to other commenters. That got you worried?
I flagged you for calling another poster “brain dead”, not for your ridiculous links to alt-right clickbait. Those who understand the US Constitution know this is not the “public forum”. We all post here subject to GoComics’ ToS, which are supposed to ban people for personal attacks.

I’m all for free speech, but I’m also for transparency when someone is paying for speech. My track record here goes back to 2010. You showed up in March, just in time for the GOP primaries.

Hillary wants to pick a fight with Putin and may get us in a nuclear war.
She also wants to re-instate the draft, including women.
