Nobody has mentioned this little tidbit of shameful dooty;
Why do the media and pay tv corporations cover and broadcast sports in third world countries like Brazil that oppress and murder children?
These companies are greedy beyond the pale, just like Donald Trump. It is unpatriotic and despicable. They could try growing a pair and standing up for what is right, reporting the truth. They could show how the police in Rio have gunned down the kids in the streets in preparation for the 2016 Olympics, just to 'clean' things up for their guests like the nazis did with the Jews during WWII before their own Olympic events in Berlin in 1936. Our American media corporations know nothing, or they are turning a blind eye for profit.

Former Fox News Booker Says She Was Sexually Harassed and ‘Psychologically Tortured’ by Roger Ailes for More Than 20 Years

Why can't Donald Trump be a Lannister? Because he never pays his debts.

It's like the baptist minister who hates gays, then gets caught with a gay prostitute.
I'm reminded of the old joke of the man who gets home from work and asks his wife how her day went.
She replies "I had the most disgusting obscene phone call. This pervert must have gone on for over an hour."

Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem
By Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein
The Enterprise Inst.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/lets-just-say-it-the-republicans-are-the-problem/2012/04/27/gIQAxCVUlT_story.html
Today, thanks to the GOP, compromise has gone out the window in Washington. In the first two years of the Obama administration, nearly every presidential initiative met with vehement, rancorous and unanimous Republican opposition in the House and the Senate, followed by efforts to delegitimize the results and repeal the policies. The filibuster, once relegated to a handful of major national issues in a given Congress, became a routine weapon of obstruction, applied even to widely supported bills or presidential nominations. And Republicans in the Senate have abused the confirmation process to block any and every nominee to posts such as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, solely to keep laws that were legitimately enacted from being implemented.
In the third and now fourth years of the Obama presidency, divided government has produced something closer to complete gridlock than we have ever seen in our time in Washington, with partisan divides even leading last year to America’s first credit downgrade.
On financial stabilization and economic recovery, on deficits and debt, on climate change and health-care reform, Republicans have been the force behind the widening ideological gaps and the strategic use of partisanship. In the presidential campaign and in Congress, GOP leaders have embraced fanciful policies on taxes and spending, kowtowing to their party’s most strident voices.
Republicans often dismiss nonpartisan analyses of the nature of problems and the impact of policies when those assessments don’t fit their ideology. In the face of the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression, the party’s leaders and their outside acolytes insisted on obeisance to a supply-side view of economic growth — thus fulfilling Norquist’s pledge — while ignoring contrary considerations.

The fallout from North Carolina's HB2 is a prime example of liberal hypocrisy. Corporations cancelled plans to expand operations in the state. Musicians cancelled concerts. Yet, they maintained commitments in states with similar laws. Many do business in countries with archaic human rights laws.
Moral outrage only matters if it can be milked.

Republican Caucus Room Meeting, destroy Obama's Presidential aspirations and legacy, Inauguration Day, Jan 21, 2009
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republican-strategists-return-to-the-dinner-table-hungering-for-a-way-forward/2013/01/20/347794ea-61c6-11e2-b05a-605528f6b712_story.html
On inauguration night four years ago, pollster Frank Luntz organized a strategy session for leading Republicans at the Caucus Room, a steakhouse in downtown D.C. The widely reported dinner has become the creation myth of the Obama opposition, in which Luntz, former speaker Newt Gingrich, Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Paul Ryan (Wis.) and other leading Republican lawmakers from both chambers plotted how to confront the president. The Republicans giddily came away from the four-hour dinner with a plan to weaken Obama through blanket opposition. Also on their to-do list: wresting control of the House and Senate from Democrats and defeating Obama in 2012.
“We talked about strategically where we were and how to move forward,” said Gingrich, who addressed the lawmakers, who were arranged in a rectangle of dinner tables. “If he moved in one direction, we would have to be conciliatory. If he moved in the other direction, we could be very, very confrontational.”
Google "caucus room conspiracy" for more info on how the Republicans blocked any economic relief because Republican Loyalty to Obstruction of Obama is more important then the economic of the Nation,
let them suffer, they will blame Obama!

Edward, Remember the Republican motto: If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for you.
And don't forget the Democrat corollary: If it's good enough for me, it's too good for you.

Suppose Trump's success in his campaign was, more than anything else, a symptom of a disease in the Republican party? and now it's the beginning of a process to rid the body of it?

Khan's son gets killed in a war BY Islamic extremists, a war initiated THROUGH votes including that of Hillary Clinton.
And Mr. Khan's on screen spewing venom against Trump, who opposed the war (Where his son got killed)
and wants to fight Islamic terrorism (which killed his son) and asking people to vote for Hillary,
who supports both!
Classic stupid logic by the poltard Hillary loons.
I have nothing to do with Trump nor Hillary but you politards are insane ....
