Tickets for future debates should be put out to the general public instead of being given to the lobbyists & special interests - the bosses! I only want to work for the American people to give them the government and country they deserve. This movement is growing fast and together we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Donald Trump
sure, my guess is quite a few of our forum "conservatives" will vote for him when
he is the official Republican Nominee for President
but to name just one, Pyro, has said a few times that he supports The Donald
Norton you will never know who I vote for..
check out Donald's comment above sounds pretty sane to me nor racist..
go figure

Hell, I'll vote for Trump in a heartbeat given the radical choices on the left. Maybe he can actually eliminate some of the entrenched bureaucracy and roll back many of the nonsensical, redundant, and ruinous regulations. Maybe even deport the progressive commies, lgbt's, shift less and lazy along with the illegals.

I actually have a lot or respect for Trump saying W's invasion of Iraq was based on a lie. Wow.
As for the debates, I think they should all be given clocks like they give the players in a chess match. You get only so much time per debate. When you click on your clock, your mic goes live, and you have to click the watch off to stop it. Then, when you're out of time, no more talking! Enough of this going over your allotted 30 seconds.
And why don't the ask everybody the same questions?
They should modernize the debates by allowing the candidates to show multi-media, such as graphics, to make their points. You know, turn then into the infomercials that they are.

But there's a pervasive mindset today that "Whitie" is prima facie evil.
Actually, I think not. Sure, there are those who will spout that, just like "all women are irrational" or "all men are so stubborn they won't ask for help."
You know - I hear the same stories you tell, read the same articles, and I never feel like someone is accusing me of being "evil whitie" NOR do I believe that the vast majority of the world that is non-causcasion sees the entire white group of people as evil.
I'll not respond to the vast amount of text you posted further, but since you first wrote that smiling at people is a pretty low bar, may I suggest you try it for a couple of days? Just try, and see what happens. You may be surprised. If you'd like to give me a similar "low bar" exercise to try, I'll be happy to consider it as well.

K-man, it is fact that the invasion was indeed based upon that lie.
But did President Bush actually lie, did Colin Powell and Cheney lie?
I do not think so as they truly believed there were WMDs in Iraq, because they
were told that by a prominent Iraqi who also believed that and was emphatically wrong
Never mind that the United Nations Weapons Inspectors said no, there are no WMDs.
The fact that Bush, Rice, Powell, et all CHOSE to believe, in spite of "evidence" per the UN is the real and worst tragedy. I believe that wanted to believe so they could use that to sell to the American people that as a justification to invade Iraq.
They were horribly wrong, but they did not "lie", because a lie is when you know something is not true but say it is anyway.

The US with one of greatest intelligence infrastructures in place in the world knew exactly what's going on at that time.
They lied like there is no tomorrow.
Yup.

I'm asking a QUESTION, which has not yet been answered straightforwardly, which is: When is enough enough?
When a black kid no longer has to be extraordinary to make it in society. When a run of the mill black kid can get by just as well as a run of the mill white kid.
We aren't there yet, my friend.

The US with one of greatest intelligence infrastructures in place in the world knew exactly what's going on at that time.
In the 1980's, someone who'd worked in the Fort Meade caverns told me that the NSA could take a tiny parabolic dish, point it at the telephone wires down the street from a house, and listen in on all the calls. There was no need for alligator clips at the side of the house, or any of that fake movie nonsense. There was no need to gain access to the telephone company's buildings.
In 1985 he said the NSA was collecting everything, from everyone, with no search warrants. He said every call, fax, radio message was collected, screened, analyzed and stored.
I thought he was exaggerating.
Today, I think he was understating what they could do back then. He wasn't high up enough, in rank, to know about the most sophisticated systems.
I think Snowden, for all he was able to gather and disseminate, was just some low-level flunky who had no real access to what the NSA is really up to. What Snowden provided is all true, but the REAL truth is much worse.

Al Gore miffed he lost election.
Gore spent daddy's money making Global Warming.
Bush spent daddy's money making War on Terror.
Gore and Bush fighting for market share.
And now?
We have, over there, in Ring Number Three, Herr Drumpfkopf der Neu Fuhrer.
Herr Drumpfkopf spends daddy's money for market share from Gore and Bush.
Drumpfkopf is one-man freak show.
Drumpfkopf loves gold loo roll, his mistress, in that order.

When cell phones first came out, we could use TVs to listen in on calls. Channel 14 to like 18 seemed to work best.

Talking about Ease dropping on Cell Phones calls!!!!
It's really big, and really bad.
Cops along any road now can listen in to your calls as you drive by their towers, and they listen for stuff about drugs or whatever, then put a tag on your call and locate you on their GPS, then send out a patrol man to catch you going 5 mph over the speed limit, and off you go to jail.
It's being kept Hush hush, since it's so illegal and all
The towers are called StingRays
You wonder why all the people police pull over have drugs? This is why.
