Something very odd happened to Donald Trump Tuesday night.

Specifically, speaking in North Carolina, Trump said that American soldiers in Iraq were passing out baskets full of money and implied that some of them stole that money and are now “living very well.”

The Trump campaign has denied he’d ever said any such thing, arguing that Trump was accusing Iraqi, not American soldiers, of corruption. Watch the clip and judge for yourself, but if you ask me, it’s unambiguous that Trump was saying American soldiers stole money:


Broadly speaking, Trump was talking about tens of thousands of US soldiers and tons of cash transactions. It’s a bit of an odd thing to bring up on the campaign trail, but it’s arguably an example of the kind of incompetent leadership by the mainstream governing class that’s fueled Trump’s rise. But instead of explaining himself or defending himself, Trump’s campaign is just out there pretending he never said it.

As far as I can tell, most foundations are just charitable covers for further investment development (Gates Foundation) or political control of foreign nations (National Endowment for Democracy). Almost none of the foundations/ NGOs that I can point to are politically or monetarily disinterested entities who just really want to help.






Your opinion as stated by you is that most charitable foundations are covers for investment and development which is Capitalism used in impoverished areas of the world to help move them out of poverty. That very concept is admirable. Yet without prof you claim foul against the Clinton foundation which does this, because it suits your purpose and helps you to promote Trump the Capitalist. A contradiction don't you think? Promoting the man who uses capitalism for nothing more than personal gain, and chastising those who use it help out those in need.


So you are saying that your religious beliefs are that the Clinton Crime Family Foundation is a charitable entity, charitable to somebody other than Slick and Hilliary?

Btw, as another example of quotes being mis-attributed (to the wrong person), Sarah Palin never did say 'I can see Russia from my house'. Tina Fey did. But Palin sure got a lot of flack for it.

Charles Gibson asked Palin what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, and she responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." But Palin doesn’t speak Russian and she doesn’t live on Little Diomede island.


What is wrong with you? That is such a weak strawman argument it is no wonder it falls down so easily, yet how can it remain upright in your vacant skull?

Her statement is accurate, and correct.
Your B.S. is worthless, having no merit or bearing on her statement. She did not claim to speak Russian. I also know many from Detroit and Toledo who do not speak French - so what? She also never said that she lived on an island.
So is the reason you are so bi-polar because you have stopped beating your wife?

"All you have to do is point out the real truth." If you believe that, then you have misunderstood all of recorded history.

If truth doesn't suffice then the only thing to do is resort to lying. So ... you must approve when Donald - or Hillary - lie. Because they're both doing the only thing that works. Or are your standards different depending on WHO does it?




Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

The fact that you pollute these threads with Putin's lies and deceptions, definitely disqualifies you from discussing truth.

Ken Burns video was great. He represents the horror even modestly intelligent people feel at the thought of this guy being this close. Huh?? Like, "How many bombs does this guy have to drop before you see what he's about?" I thought Obama's public addressing (shaming) of Trump's idiocy "can't say the word" was well done, showing once again that Trump can't think past the microphone in front of him. But it's been shown over and over that you can't make people smarter if they don't want to listen.
