FIRST TIME posted:lol, Obama won the popular vote by 5 million. C'mon Trump. Only if you dishonestly include illegal immigrants, multiple-voters, and liberals in the tally like the mainstream media does. Romney won the popular vote of real Americans by a landslide, just as conservapedia predicted. Wait what thread is this.

At some point in the past five days, articles have been posted with the following information: (1) Clinton worked with, and her foundation has ties to, a company that also has done shady poo poo in the Middle East (2) Trump has been financed by, repeatedly, Russian oligarchs or people closely related to them I'll be damned if I'm going to go searching through 90 pages on my phone to find the two articles, but can anyone tell me what the distinction is between the two cases? Both involve guilt by association and claims of malfeasance due to possible continued financial ties to individuals/groups that are probably not friendly to US interests.

American political figures having ties to companies doing shady poo poo in the middle east is just standard operating procedure I think.

In the first case Lafarge, which is a French cement company, donated 50-100k to the Clinton Foundation at some point in its existence. Hillary used to be director of the board of the company in the 90s. Between 2011 and 2013 this company paid bribe money to IS to continue running a cement factory in Syria. Apparently paying money to not have all your employees murdered and the plant abandoned (which eventually happened) constitutes "having ties to IS". It's the stupidest loving controversy. The Clinton Cash truther people are unreal. The Clintons have enough immoral positions that you don't need to make up an extensive network of terrorist and corruption funding to attack them. straight up brolic fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Lid posted:http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-08-02/3-examples-of-the-media-double-standard-with-trump-and-clinton quote:This is but one distortion; there are plenty more. Following the lead of the Democrats, the media are demanding Trump apologize to Khizr and Ghazala Khan, parents of a dead American soldier who spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Now, I'm not on any of the relevant email lists but I'm not exactly sure what it is he is supposed to apologize for. The Khans should have known they were being drawn into a political forum (one from which they now say they want to escape because they apparently don't like all the attention) and were opening themselves up to criticism – especially in the pointed nature of what Mr. Khan said in his speech. Trump certainly didn't attack them for being Muslim which, it almost goes without saying, would be wrong. "Attacking them for being Muslim is wrong, but attacking them for not wanting to drag their sons' memory through the Republican media train like filthy cowards is ok" also about the author huh quote:He has been published widely and appears weekly on One America News What is that? One [blank] is usually bad but I'll just google it and quote:OneAmerica is one of the fastest growing mutual insurance holding companies. The companies of OneAmerica provide financial education and life insurance

How big of a deal is this?I just woke up and haven't really thought too hard about it. Seems like it's gonna look bad at the very least.

I wouldn't think that "we gave Iran some of the money we said we were going to give them" would be much of a scandal but I'm probably wrong.

I think the ultimate danger that the GOP faces with giving up on Trump is not that he attacks them (he already does that) but instead that he continues his "rigged" talk about the election and even possibly tells people to stay home instead of voting.

Also even the US gov couldn't get 400m cash together that quick. It was obviously something that was already happening, especially as everyone already knew it was happening before the soldiers got picked up. This is just some dumb poo poo stirring hack on Wall Street attention whoring by making accusations.

Giving Iran 400 million dollars that we already owed them in the first place in exchange* for getting them to release prisoners that they were within their rights to originally arrest would seem to indicate that Obama knows how to make the best deals. * I know it wasn't an exchange

I thought they couldn't do that unless he died or stepped down. I guess the GOP has never been about following the rules though so maybe they just ignore that part.

Ice Phisherman posted:All right, I had a bet with a friend of mine Trump v. Clinton for a hundred bucks. This was months ago when I bet that Trump would blow up harder than the democrats could get in their own way. Normally we get along and it was his bet to put my money where my mouth was in regards to this election because I was telling him in no uncertain terms how bad of a train wreck would he would be. We talk politics constantly and while we disagree often about politics we're normally congenial which is weird in these days of echo chambers. Your friend wanted to get a taste of Trump University, and it's your duty as a friend to make sure he gets a far better education for his money than he could ever get from Trump. I mean, if paying up is actually some level of hardship for him, obviously you let it go. But otherwise you take the money and you give him his Trump University diploma. Also a decent lunch or dinner to celebrate. CelestialScribe posted:I was put on probation for suggesting that Trump's election would lead to nuclear war. Jesus. It's so rare that an entire panel of talking heads all had the correct reaction to information at the same time.

Ignatius M. Meen posted:I can't see the GOP getting remotely closer to winning the presidential race by dumping Trump at this point. Has this sort of thing even ever happened? Nope. Even the one case where a candidate died it was after the actual election, and he'd lost anyway. (Caveat: some third party shenanigans might have happened, but no one gives a poo poo) Doesn't the national convention determine the rules? Good luck reconvening the delegates and getting anything but scorn and doubling down heaped upon you. The RNC could probably do some poo poo to make it clear Trump has no chance of winning and try to pressure him to drop out, but you can imagine how well that would go. I suspect this talk of replacing him is by people who don't actually understand how you can't do this, because no one's actually ever done it or even tried it. You can be a political operator or a campaign staffer without understanding how the process works in detail (that episode of Veep where they start googling to see what happens if the election's a tie rang very true to me).
