As far as I can tell, where Manafort got his money before Trump hired him is a non-issue. It's like the "Russians hacked the DNC" and "Russians hacked the DNC donor registry" claims: Part of an DNC/ Hillary smear campaign that harkens back to the McCarthy era. Based on lies and fear-mongering, designed to distract from the contents of the leaked data, and completely unworthy of the DNC.
I mean you whine and bellyache about Trump's "racism" against illegal immigrants (note: illegal immigrants are not a race, and neither are "Mexicans") and Islam (again, note: Islam is not a "race") and yet you're all OK with the DNC doing the same, or worse. Worse, because while there is evidence that illegal immigrants DO take jobs from American citizens, and there is proof (in the EU, anyway) that jihadists have infiltrated themselves into the flood of refugees, even the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has called for an end to the "hyperventilation" about the "Russian leak".
So stop hyperventilating. It's irrational, dishonest, and unworthy of you.
Quote:Oh, so illegal immigration- which the Dems encourage, along with the Repubs - is the REPUBLICAN'S problem?
It's the Republicans' problem, not the Democrats'.
You mean, it's not everybody's problem?
Like I asked before: Which side are you on?

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

Quote:I hope Monafort remains as Trump's campaign manager. He is doing a terrible job and I want Trump to lose. And illegal immigration is NOT everybody's problem. It's your problem, so go ahead and solve it. I propose a new, voluntary tax on Form 1040 for deporting illegals. It is much like the Presidential Campaign Fund except worded differently: "Check here if you, or your spouse if filing jointly, want $300 or more to go to the Deportation fund. Checking a box below will very much change your tax or refund."

Because there is always a hidden poison pill inside everything Republican politicians propose and there is always a hidden agenda with nearly every Republican voter I'm probably against everything Republicans are for.
While plenty of people, including plenty of Trump fans, certainly have concerns about the economy, it’s racial resentment that drives who does and doesn’t support Trump. The easiest way to guess if someone supports Trump? Ask if Obama is a Muslim.

And without endorsing the resentful views of people upset about declining white privilege, you can see that supporting Trump is perfectly reasonable for people who think this way.

Except illegal immigration, which many businessmen (both parties) argue for.
As a liberal, you should probably question your position whenever you find yourself on the side of exploitation- even if it's backed by your own party. That's where you seem to be right now.
BTW- I asked you a question several posts back about your response to Trump's press conference. I wondered what you agreed with, and I also wonder what you disagree with, specifically. So far, everything you've said about Trump has been a quote from someone else, and much of it has been hyperventilation and baseless speculation. So, what is YOUR opinion, based on first-hand knowledge, of Trump?

Quote:Mostly I quote editorials and news stories written by people who attach their real names and reputations to what they wrote. That is totally unlike everybody at fireflyfans.net who all use a pseudonym, making everything they write unreal and deserving of no attention. Now I give you my undeserving of attention opinion, using my pseudonym "second".

Trump is a conscienceless salesman manipulating his audience. He is insincere. He wants to be President for the same reason he puts his Trump name on all his buildings -- he wants to glorify himself by being President. Once he is President, he won't be any more capable of controlling his bloviation then he is now. He certainly won't be studying the issues and choosing solutions. He will delegate all the hard mental work to others and spend his days in the White House feeling proud of himself for having made it to the peak of the American hierarchy of power.
It would not be unthinkable for Trump to pull down his trousers during his first State of the Union address and moon the Democrats. Trump would forget that he is also mooning the Republicans because he doesn't care what anybody except himself thinks. He's made the sale, he is in the White House, he can do as he pleases, insult whoever he wants.

Once again SIG we see you post subjectively and without concern for the truth.
We have several threads talking about Trump and Clinton. All have articles and comments from reputable news outlets attributable to Trump. Many posted by others here in response to you and 1kiki. They have listened to Trump communicate in his own words the evidence he lacks everything needed to be President. What they post demonstrates a deep knowledge and understanding of him.
You and 1kiki SIG are nothing more than conveyers of untruths. And if you look at current polls you'll see your fellow Trump lovers are dwindling. Even the uneducated are leaving him now.

As P.J. O’Rourke, the brilliant libertarian satirist, put it: “I am endorsing Hillary, and all her lies and all her empty promises. It’s the second-worst thing that can happen to this country, but she’s way behind in second place. She’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters. Better the devil you know than the Lord of the Flies on his own 757.”

New Documents Confirm Trump Campaign Manager As Paid Russian Operative
Recently discovered ledgers show that $12.7 million in secret payments were designated for Manafort from Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007-2012. The payments were part of an illegal off-the-books system which was setup as a slush fund for government operatives and bribes to election officials.
Another item of note was the fact a group of shell companies were used to funnel an $18 million deal to a partnership put together by Manafort and a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, who is a close ally of Vladimir Putin himself. The partnership was going to buy Ukranian cable television assets.

So, there’s a new conservative take on who’s to blame for Donald Trump — and the answer, it turns out, is liberal commentators, and me in particular. Yep, by denouncing the dishonesty of people like Mitt Romney, I was crying wolf, so that voters paid no attention to warnings about Trump.
Actually, even if you leave aside the substance, this is bizarre. Do you really think that the fraction of the Republican primary electorate that selected Trump cares what New York Times columnists, me in particular, have to say — that they would have been warned off if only I had been nicer to establishment Republicans? That doesn’t even rise to the level of a joke.
But anyway, let’s talk about what I said about Romney. (By the way, I don’t think I referred to him as a “charlatan” — I used that word to refer to supply-side economists, because that’s what Greg Mankiw, who was advising his campaign, called them.) Here’s a key passage:
Quote:Is there anything wrong with that passage? The “apology tour” thing was a constant refrain, even though Politifact declared it pants on fire.
Every one of the Romney campaign’s major themes, from the attacks on President Obama for going around the world apologizing for America (he didn’t), to the insistence that Romneycare and Obamacare are very different (they’re virtually identical), to the claim that Mr. Obama has lost millions of jobs (which is only true if you count the first few months of his administration, before any of his policies had taken effect), is either an outright falsehood or deeply deceptive. Why the nonstop mendacity?
www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/oct/17/mitt-romney/mi
tt-romney-says-barack-obama-began/ So were the Romneycare not Obamacare and job loss things, which were equally false. So what is the assertion here? That I should not have called Romney out on lies, because that would undermine my authority when a much bigger liar came along?
How about a different hypothesis: the foundations for Trumpism were laid in part by conservatives who made dishonesty about policy a routine part of Republican politics, and also both-sides-do-it journalists who enabled that culture of lying. This left the Republican establishment helpless in the face of someone who lied as much in a day as they did in a week, because they couldn’t credibly make the case that policy dishonesty was disqualifying.
Actually, I don’t fully believe in this hypothesis either; mainly, Trumpism is the GOP’s id triumphing over its weak superego, which was probably destined to happen regardless. But it’s a lot more plausible than blaming little old me.
