Offtopic Trump supporter thread!!!

[zerocool84]

The assassination attempt was like the movie Looper. Future Trump comes back in time to kill current Trump.

 

[senseamp]

It was a guy with "Republicans against Trump" sign and no gun, who was beaten by Trump supporting thugs before the Secret Service intervened.

Why do you post such obvious lie?

Here is the interview with the"shooter"

This mystical Chinese monkey has figured out who will win the U.S. election

 

[zinfamous]

He's chaos. If I can't get what I want, chaos will entertain me.

Man, I sure up "Chaos voters" aren't retiring in the next 1-12 years and still planning to live off their 401ks, Brokerage savings, SS, etc.

GL with that.

...then again, I guess it makes sense that my perception of a "chaos voter" is someone that has a bunker stocked with MREs, guns, gold coins, a HAM radio, and 10 years-worth of ammo--all paid for by drawing out their retirement early.

I want Trump to win. You know when you see a friend standing near the edge of a pool, and while you don't actually want anything seriously bad to happen to him, you kinda hope he falls in because it's going to be funny? America is that friend right now. Except instead of a pool it's the sediment tank of the sewage treatment plant.

Yep. Will be real funny for you when, even in your safespace in Canada, your precious house is suddenly worth about 1/10th of what you paid for it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Yep. Will be real funny for you when, even in your safespace in Canada, your precious house is suddenly worth about 1/10th of what you paid for it.

Why would that be a bad thing? A Canadian Trump could be exactly what they need to give foreign real estate speculators the boot. I welcome another real estate crash, fuck the "investors".

 

[Imp]

Yep. Will be real funny for you when, even in your safespace in Canada, your precious house is suddenly worth about 1/10th of what you paid for it.

That'll happen anyway, but something like 75% of Canada's exports go to the U.S. of A. Those should and could be American jerbs. Close and border and boom, Canada's current real-estate based economy will have to build more houses to house all those unemployed people.

Oh, and Comey just announced that no new charges against Clinton.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Why would that be a bad thing? A Canadian Trump could be exactly what they need to give foreign real estate speculators the boot. I welcome another real estate crash, fuck the "investors".

Yeah I would not really nececerily see it as a bad thing, it's kinda a kick in the face knowing that if I had waited this long I could have bought cheaper, but oh well, I would not have waited that long to buy anyway.

That said I can't see how a Trump win would cause that. If anything it may drive real estate demand as more people will want to move here. One GOOD thing if he wins is if he's actually serious about stopping the TPP. But somehow I just don't see it, he's a rich business guy, NAFTA, TPP and other such agreements are designed by and for people like him. Heck he keeps talking about how this outsourcing stuff needs to stop but he outsources his own stuff to Mexico and uses Chinese steel for his buildings.

Places like Toronto and Vancouver could use a crash though, I'm sure there's lot of people who want to buy but can't afford it because of investors hogging all the properties and driving the prices up. Thankfully the whole investment property thing is not really that big of an issue where I am so prices are not really artificially high. Hard to really tell what would happen though, I'm no economist. I'm thinking election day will send the markets all over the place either way, anyone who's deep into stocks and knows what they're doing will probably make bank off this.

"Look out, he's got a sign!"

Apparently you think that one should choose a candidate to run the country based on their reaction to rain or a false alarm. Maybe you should consider what their policies and experience for the role are?

Or maybe you would prefer a reality TV show? How does this candidate react to... bunnies? earthworms?

 

[pcgeek11]

Like this guy ( Jimmy Carter ):

What it’s about: A pivotal moment in American history took place on April 20, 1979, when our 39th president was on a fishing trip near his hometown of Plains, Georgia, and was attacked by an oversized, swimming rabbit. Months after the fact, the White House press secretary mentioned the incident. It’s been part of presidential lore ever since.

Strangest fact: How about, “Jimmy Carter was attacked by a giant swimming rabbit”? When Carter returned from the fishing trip, he recounted to CNN in 2010, a rabbit “jumped in the water and swam toward my boat. When he got almost there, I splashed some water with a paddle,” which is the closest the Carter administration ever got to, “Get off my plane!” The White House staff refused to believe that rabbits could swim or approach someone threateningly, but a photographer along for the trip got the beast on film, confirming the story.

I don't think you understand how the secret service works. Actually I know you don't.

 

[mikeymikec]

I don't think you understand how the secret service works. Actually I know you don't.

You missed the point. Look at the image that Skorpio posted, then look at my response. My point had absolutely nothing to do with the secret service, and I'm absolutely fine with the secret service moving Trump out of potential harm's way, and I'm also fine with Trump accepting the secret service's instructions to move out of the way. If anything it would justify my belief that Trump is a complete tool if he didn't take the secret service's advice seriously.

My comment regarding the false alarm was because the image Skorpio posted was also trying to make a point that Trump is ever so brave for coming back to the podium after an "assassination attempt", whereas weak and frail Hillary apparently runs away at the first sign of rain. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't exactly call resuming your previous activity after a threat has been revealed to be a false alarm as "bravery". For example, I'm dusting in a dark corner and I think I see an enormous tarantula, this might cause me to back off. If on further inspection I find that it's not a tarantula but in fact is a very large and dusty cobweb, or perhaps a toy spider, I'm not being brave by resuming the job of dusting.

Also, I just don't think that getting out of the rain or resuming a speech after a false alarm constitutes any useful information for judging a potential candidate for the US presidency. Do you? Would or should it erode anyone's faith in Donald Trump if it turned out that he too opted for cover from rain, or if Hillary also resumed a speech after a false alarm? If I get rained on today and I don't run for cover, does that show that I am an ideal candidate for the US presidency?

Better than Hillary. The only wrong vote is voting for someone you don't believe in. "Strategic" voting is bullshit, and destroys democracy. It's why we two huge heaping piles of shit to choose from today.

Democracy.

I dont think you know that you dont know what that word means.

 

[norseamd]

Voted for Bernie Sanders in the California primary and Trump last week. Anyone but that conniving witch. He's a complete buffoon, but can probably be steered along by people that know what they're doing. Hate this damned election.

I dont think you are able to see the broad side of a barn of what is reality. Its ok, seems most Americans are just as lacking. Its ok if this election isnt stepping into the box of ignorance that you refuse to be anything but bound in.

 

[norseamd]

Is there a name for this individual. It should be known.

That's how we got 9/11, the Iraq war, and the Great Recession.

Yeah, but his heart was in the right place!

 

[amdhunter]

Why? So he could be tracked down and harrassed? He has a right to say what he wants just like any Dem. You are exactly why we need to MAGA, and keep ignorant cucks from harrassing true Americans.

 

[zinfamous]

Yes, his name is Donald Trump.

FTFY

 

[norseamd]

Yes, his name is Donald Trump.

The rabble learned to dump their guilt and responsibility on their demagogues millennia ago. Letting them escape the guilt and responsibility of their own actions will only mean all of it will continue to happen in the future, and those very same people will even continue to do the same in their own lifetimes.

I realized something the other day, journalists and cops are basically the same people. They do jobs that are officially praised and commonly derided. They tend to see themselves as defenders of integrity and aggressive pursuers of the truth, but they're actually known for annoying the shit out of people over petty reasons tangentially related to justice. They're known for giving the most attention to individuals at an extreme end of the economic scale. They aren't really paid that well, and few parents would list that career as their first choice for their kids. The public just does not care about any of these individuals until they become involved in something sensational, but then they're a household name for fifteen minutes. The base of a major party overtly distrusts and covertly works against them, especially in certain contexts.

you paint a broad brush. Although some of your labels certainly fit some of those within these professions, it doesn't define the entire group of each as petty, self-serving, power-hungry narcissists. There are bad apples in any group. I wouldn't call those apples "real cops" or "real journalists," but there is also some truth to needed a bit more transparency and open dialogue within these groups to ferret out such bad actors. I find that journalists are much better at this, however. For journalists, integrity is probably the most essential trait in their industry. The field simply couldn't exist without it, so not only are there plenty of individuals determined to maintain and protect that integrity, there are also laws and practices designed to punish violations of such--and they are very effective.
You might argue that this sort of exists for the police force as well, but obviously the enforcement of such violations is effectively neutered within the precincts most needing an enema.
