Donald Trump is the only candidate with the courage to stand up to Arab states, and tell them we will no longer allow them to hoard US oil in their nation's oil fields.
Bring this US oil back to the US, charge them rent for keeping it from us for so long.

Trump talking about the Iraq War now, and "the surge".

He's doing that thing where he's saying the truth about Iraq, and it's still weird to agree with some of the things he's saying.

Trump: "Ooh, do I have energy"

He's definitely taking the "high energy" vs "low energy" thing and running all the way with it.

My rough understanding of it is when American corporations leave the USA for countries with lower corporate taxes. For instance Burger King moved their HQ to Canada because Ontario has lower corporate taxes.

Spider-Man has superhuman strength, agility, and spidey senses. He can literally life cars and has to pull his punches to make sure he doesn't accidentally kill people.

Batman is a rich man who knows karate.

Kind of. Corporate inversion is when a company buys a foreign company, then makes the company they bought their official HQ. So, Burger King buys a canadian company and then makes that company's assets part of the Burger King corporation and changes the company's HQ without having to go through the process of leaving the U.S. and reincorporating in Canada.

Inversion is like a company moving out of the country in name only by using a loophole that can be exploited when they merge with or buy a foreign company and reorganize.

Not only could Batman take spiderman any day of the week, Adam West Batman could take Spiderman any day of the week. He carried knockout gas in his utility belt.

Spidey has a lot of fancy abilities but Bats always has a plan. He'd also be willing to go dark in ways that Spidey wouldn't (would Batman buy out Aunt May's mortgage and foreclose, just to make Spidey surrender? He would).

Actually, in the crossover short series from years back, Batman admitted Spider-Man would win.


That's exactly what Bats wants Spidey to think.

I mean I normally hate DC but it's no contest.

I've been watching Trump since he announced his candidacy, and he seems MUCH more fluent on the stump than he did before. He used to be much more evasive, and now he's bringing up numbers and and specific plans (well, not terribly specific, but more than before). For example, dropping stats on the number of people living on food stamps... unexpected.

HE IS EVOLVING.

Also, I know that Donald Trump knows my personal cell number and is 100% totally okay sharing it with the entire world if he decides to make a power play.

If only Spider-man had some sought of way to sense danger, react and then punch the attacker's lights out with his superman speed and strength.

I originally was thinking Batman would win, but Peter is also incredibly smart. Even if they both had time to prepare I am convinced that Spider-man would dominate.

Spider sense only works against imminent threats. If it's slugfest, yeah, Spidey wins, but Bats would be smart enough to avoid it, and he wins any less physical confrontation.

Spidey is smart too, sure, but he doesn't have Batman's resources or gift for strategic planning.

I don't know, I think Batman would win. He's stood his own against Darkseid before, and there's no way Spiderman wouldn't have been dismantled by that guy.
