DT’s hostility towards NATO, and disregard for the Geneva Convention, (advocating war crimes) was certainly a dog whistle to extremism.

not sure if electoral fraud is possible but they are trying to rig the election via the media by manipulating opinion. Hillary is funded by all the dirty industries that make a shiitload of money at the expense of the average American.

I think one of the things concerning the media, certainly in the US, is the fact that Wikileaks want to get Trump in the White House.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As does Putin and IS. He’s a recruitment dream for them.

......................

And to me, this is why people are seeing Clinton as the lesser of two evils. On top of all of Trumps other baggage.

Why is it so bad if Trump gets along with Putin? we're heading to WW3 already with the way things are going atm.

I honestly couldn't give a flying sheet if Hilary Clinton herself ordered people to be planted at Trump rallies to cause trouble. I would still vote for her if I were eligible to do so.

Because there is a very, very simple bottom line here. POTUS is the still the most prominent and important post in world politics. And Trump cannot be allowed to fill it.

He is a bigot, a misogynist, a racist, and a xenophobe. He is completely inexperienced in and ill-educated on matters of national and global politics. He is rash, brazen and inconsistent. He is completely unqualified. He would be an unmitigated disaster for the US and wider world.

Full stop.

Maybe Trump should come up with some policies instead of insulting everyone. You know, give the media something to support him on.

But Trump has stated the media are involved in electoral fraud.

Pretty heavy accusations there regarding manipulating public opinions. The major news outlets are mostly left leaning here so to prove there is an electoral fraud will be very difficult.

Hillary being funded by the shady corporations and what not is true, but they can't seem to get anything to stick on her. There was an article out from one of the overseas outlet that proves that the Saudis are funding her campaign but nothing has happened so far...

I reckon he has a better chance of winning by sticking to the anti establishment narrative tbh that everyone is against him than by trying to become more like a normal politician. He is a smart dude every step of the way people have said he has no chance or written him off after each controversy but he's still there.

IMO this is because it isn't as radical as anything Trump is coming up with.

For every bad thing people are finding about Clinton, they are finding worse about Trump. And most of it was already known about Clinton.

..............

But he isn't. That's his problem.

In the last debate, he chose to attack Bill Clinton instead.

Depends if he was referring to media bias or the polling booths being rigged. The latter I doubt that is possible but I'm not sure how it works. I don't agree with everything he says just like you don't agree with everything from Clinton.

Forgot about the Saudis, people are worried about Trump/Putin but have no issue with Saudi being our allies. Very little in the media about what they're doing in Yemen... we need to protect our arms sales to them and the oil trade

Except the Saudis are doing us no favors on the oil trade front...

Very little in the media about what they're doing in Yemen.

..............

Depends what Media you read.

Do you know why the Saudis have an issue in Yemen?

I appreciate everyone enjoys a conspiracy theory but DT’s comments in relation to the media being complicit in regard to vote rigging is quite frankly absurd, and verges on the delusional.

While I don’t agree with many of HC’s comments or policies, she’s not a walking personality disorder with dictatorship tendencies.

Don't know much about it apart from it's a sectarian conflict, but there is a lot of suffering and not much coverage of it... now that the Russians have got involved in Syria we're suddenly a lot more sympathetic.

wikileaks revealed journalists colluding with the clinton campaign so it's not that absurd. If he's talking about the vote count being rigged then I don't agree with that.

Don't know much about it apart from it's a sectarian conflict, but there is a lot of suffering and not much coverage of it.

..................


I will give you a clue. A nation the Saudis don't particularly empathise with are backing the Yemen Rebels.

Now, look at the geographic approximation of Yemen to SA and you might begin to understand why the Saudis have an issue.

Only last week these clowns started firing missiles at US Ships in the area.

8bit

I don’t think we need the likes of WikiLeaks to establish there are partisan journalists affiliated with both campaigns. It’s been a practice for decades and not just in the US.

The point is that DT has alleged the press have been unlawfully assisting vote rigging. Two completely different issues.

Saudi and Iran are fighting for control of the region, we should just let them get on with it and stay out of the middle east. Trump agrees with that. Our interventions end up causing more chaos... seems like our end game is to remove Assad like we did in Iraq, Libya, Afghan.

The point is that DT has alleged the press have been unlawfully assisting vote rigging. Two completely different issues.

................

And Trump isn't doing anything to help himself here.

I think the media, like myself, finds him to be far more despicable and dangerous than her.

Trump agrees with that.

......................

Does he? It is hard to tell. He hasn't made it clear what his policies are on the Middle East.

Let them get on with it among themselves isn't a very well thought out policy.
