The Donald-thread

[Scot Dutchy]

They will ban themselves (with a bit of luck).

[Tyrannical]

And we forget he was actually nominated. But who else could have the Republicans nominated? The creationist Cruz? The pervert ideologist fond of the death penalty?
The whole party must be banned if this is the choice they come up with.

Go eat some chocolate. I hear it helps.
And to answer your question, Rand Paul.

He's too clean cut. He's hiding something. You heard it hear first.

The first, largest (and probably the least interesting) group of Russian Trump supporters are those who are not really involved in the US presidential campaign. They did not follow the primaries, the debates, and the conventions, but they have probably heard Vladimir Putin calling Trump “a talented and colorful person.” They have also seen and maybe even flipped through the pages of Donald Trump’s infamous books on being a millionaire and closing successful business deals. Finally, they have seen Trump hanging out with Miss Universe contestants—what’s not to like about this guy? Trump’s quotes on money, success, business, and women are published and republished by hundreds of motivational self-help communities on Vkontakte, Russia’s biggest social network. (Needless to say, half of these quotes are fake.)

The second group is more complicated and very diverse. These users do not necessarily like Trump that much, but they hate Hillary Clinton fiercely, so they wish Trump would win just to spite the Democrats. One example is Ivan Yakovina, a Russian-Ukrainian journalist who used to support Bernie Sanders at the earlier stage of the US presidential race. After Bernie endorsed Hillary, Yakovina accused him of betrayal—something that some of Sanders’ American supporters have done, as well. By July 26, the journalist was referring to Trump in Facebook posts as “a populist,” while Clinton, in his opinion, is “a dull, lying, utterly corrupted fool.” The Republican presidential candidate’s sense of humor appeals to Ivan: on July 27, Yakovina admitted that Trump is “a good troll.” Yakovina might not evolve to become a true Trump supporter, but he said he would be glad to watch the Democrats lose after the “unfair expulsion” of Bernie Sanders from the race."

The third group appears to be following the US race intently. Mostly media professionals, these Russian Facebook users are particularly interested in US media coverage of the elections, and they are not happy with what they see: there are some recent examples of Russian journalists harshly criticizing their American colleagues. Alexey Kovalev is a former InoSMI chief editor, whose most recent personal project “Lapshesnimalochnaya” (Noodle Remover) is devoted to revealing Russian state propaganda's lies and debunking media fakes. Kovalev does not like the “anti-Trump campaign” some US media seem to be waging, either.

Here's Why Russian Facebook Users Love Donald Trump

Clint Eastwood defends Trump's 'racist' remarks: 'Just get over it'



(continued, ...more or less. )

[NineBerry]

Actually, Eastwood doesn't defend the remarks. He just says he doesn't want to call them racist but fucking stupid.

[Tyrannical]

That gold star father Kahn turned out to be a radical sharia law supporter...... Oh, and he's an immigration lawyer specializing in the controversial buy your way in visa, something trump would probably try and end. Trump should keep up the attacks because kahn is a poster child for muslims we should NOT let in.

What's the answer to the question?

Are they illegal? Where? Many countries have them.

Hillary Clinton supports the development of tactical, battlefield nuclear weapons. If it's improper and "stupid" ask why such weapons cannot be used, then what level of stupidity is it to support development of weapons that cannot be used?

Isn't the answer to the question: they can, in fact, be used, in some circumstances? There are circumstances in US policy, British policy, French policy, Indian policy, Russian policy, etc., in which the use of nuclear weapons is called for.

This is one of those media circus events where we have double-hearsay -- "someone told me that Trump asked him such-and-such" and we're arguing about what Trump supposedly said, not to the person reporting it, but to another person. What was the context? Why were the questions asked? And, we have a situation where the worst is read into the question, and a motive is read into the question. He's asking why we can't use them, because the first thing he wants to do is use them. Well, why don't we take a step back? Doesn't every president need to know why they cannot (or can) be used in given circumstances? Or should/should not be used?
