Quote:What is so desirable about Trump, other than he is a Republican? I see nothing desirable about Hillary, other than she is a Democrat, but you positively find endless excuses for every Trump shortcoming and personal failure. Trump is highly defective and his only redeeming characteristic is that the Republican party will be in control of all branches of the Federal government once he appoints a Scalia clone to the Supreme Court, chosen from a Republican Party list of clones.

It's not that they have a "relationship" relationship, it's just that they happen to both be in politics, and Trump would like to think that Putin pays attention to him. And in fact, Putin probably pays attention to both Hillary AND Trump but that's something we'll never know for sure.
Except you and your vlogger, who knows everything for sure.
Hillary Clinton told a half truth when she said, "the economy always does better when there’s a Democrat in the White House." It would be a full truth if she had mentioned "and Republicans weren't controlling Congress".
Yes, Democratic presidents do have more Gross Domestic Product growth than Republicans, according to quarterly GDP data dating back to 1947.
But Clinton's comments require several caveats. The current growth in the economy under Obama is lower than the Republican average. Factors such as oil prices also reflect the higher GDP growth under Democratic presidents. On top of that, comparing one period of time to another or one president to another can be problematic.

Once upon a time, in New York City in the 1950s, a little boy didn’t like his second-grade music teacher, Charles Walker. So, the boy later boasted, he slugged Mr. Walker, giving him a black eye.
“When that kid was 10,” Walker recalled on his death bed, “even then, he was a ——” Oops, gentle reader, time to move on hurriedly with the life story of Donald J. Trump.
There are now more than 20 books out about Trump, and while I can’t claim to have read them all — I am not a masochist! — I have waded through his life story so that you don’t have to. You’re welcome! As a reader service, here are highlights.
Donald attended the New York Military Academy, where he thrived despite a regrettable attempt to throw a smaller student out a second-floor window (this comes from one of the best of the biographies, the brand-new “Trump Revealed,” by a team from The Washington Post).
Enough of Trump’s youth; now let’s hurtle through his business career. After graduating from Wharton, Trump joined his dad’s real estate business and, er, worked his way up: At about the age of 25, he was named president of Trump Management.
Unfortunately, the Trumps seemed to have a policy in some properties of not renting to blacks. “I’m not allowed to rent” to black families, a Trump building superintendent reportedly explained at the time, adding that he was just doing “what my boss told me to do.”
If a black person did make it as far as filling out an application, it was coded — in some cases, “C” for “colored” — to make sure it was not accidentally approved. The Nixon administration sued the Trumps in 1973 for breaking anti-discrimination laws.
Something similar happened with Donald Trump’s pageants. He began with the American Dream Calendar Girl Model Search, but that led to a lawsuit from a woman who said that Trump had groped her and restrained her in his daughter’s bedroom. The lawsuit also alleged that Trump had directed that “any black female contestants be excluded” from his parties. Trump denied the claims.
Time to throw in some sex, with a look now at Trump’s family life.
Melania Trump says that her husband “is intensely loyal … he will never let you down.” Then again, she’s his third wife.
His first was Ivana Trump, and he then began a dalliance with Marla Maples, culminating in a dramatic made-for-the-tabloids confrontation between the two women while they were all skiing in Aspen. The resulting divorce negotiations were bitter, with Ivana alleging in a deposition that Trump had raped her; she later backed off that.
Trump then married Maples. She in turn gave way to Melania, who may well have arrived in the States illegally (Melania Trump denies this but hasn’t furnished a convincing explanation for her immigration).
So what does all this add up to?
Whether in his youth, in his business career or in his personal life, Trump’s story is that of a shallow egoist who uses those around him.
Even as a child, he personified privilege and entitlement. In business, he proved a genius at marketing himself but grew his fortune more slowly than if he had put his wealth in a stock index fund. He made a mess of his personal life and has been repeatedly accused of racism, of cheating people, of lying, of stiffing charities.

The Washington Post has called 326 charities with connections to Trump, asking if they had received a gift of the nominee's own money. Between 2008 and this May, that search turned up just one gift, from 2009. It was worth less than $10,000.
Unfortunately for Trump's Presidential qualifications, Hillary has given even more than Trump. Billions of dollars more. For some reason, Trump thinks that his playing at charity golf matches and free rounds of golf at his golf courses qualifies as giving to charity and are tax deductible. I see why he is being audited by the IRS.

This response pays homage to a white rapper known as Eminem:
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin' how, everybody chokin' now
The clocks run out, time's up, over. Blow!"
And here's the relevant part to your response:
"Snap back to reality, Oh, there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad
But he won't give it up that easy, no, he won't have it
He knows his whole back's to the ropes, it don't matter, he's dope........"
Snap back to reality......................
Putin has stated that he did call Trump "bright," but the context that he used was bright as in attention grabbing. Besides, Putin is as cunning as
a Fox (no pun intended). As a former KGB agent, he knows that psychological
warfare is an important element of keeping your enemies off balance.
To Putin, distracting Trump must seem like child's play. All he need do is stroke that tremendous ego and viola. Yep, Trump is a willing victim. A mouse in a maze.

When it comes to rebutting Donald Trump’s observation that Vladimir Putin is a strong leader — “far more than our president has been a leader” — it is hard to top the assessment of Russian-born Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, which The Times’ Andrew Higgins quoted in his story from Moscow: “Vladimir Putin is a strong leader in the same way that arsenic is a strong drink. Praising a brutal KGB dictator, especially as preferable to a democratically elected U.S. president, whether you like Obama or hate him, is dangerous.”
Indeed, Kasparov’s point cuts to the core of what is so scary about a Trump presidency: Trump is what The Economist has called “the leading exponent of ‘post-truth’ politics — a reliance on assertions that ‘feel true’ but have no basis in fact,” and, sadly, “his brazenness is not punished, but taken as evidence of his willingness to stand up to elite power.” When politics becomes “like pro-wrestling,” society pays a huge cost, The Economist added, because any complex explanation of any problem is dismissed.
So Trump just skips from blaming Mexican immigrants for high murder rates, to President Barack Obama for inventing ISIS, to China for creating the concept of global warming, to thousands of Muslims in New Jersey for celebrating 9/11, to Obama for really having been born in Kenya, to an IRS audit for preventing him from showing us his tax returns — which would probably show that he paid no taxes.
Every word of it is a lie that most in his own party won’t call out. Can you imagine the damage Trump could do to the fabric of our democracy if he had the White House pulpit from which to preach his post-truth politics — how it would filter down into public discourse at large and infect every policy debate?
Donald Trump has not only brought haters into the mainstream, he has normalized hate for a much broader swathe of the population who were perhaps already disaffected but had their grievances and latent prejudices held in check by social norms. This isn’t some minor point or critique. It’s a fundamental part of what is at stake in this election, what makes it different from Obama v. Romney.

The chickens have come how to roost. The Economist is crying into its beer, not because "the truth" has been destroyed but because its brand of lies has lost center stage. Look at all of the lies told to us about the economy and about war abroad. Look at all the shit that was shoveled on anyone who DARED question Hillary's health. Jeezus H Christmas, didn't you notice all of the lies before? NOW suddenly you decide that you're going to get on your hind legs about the fact that Trump lies???
People are sick of being lied to by the establishment. Unfortunately, that leaves them susceptible to a different kind of lie.
We need some real critical thinking going on. And there's precious little of that going on over here....

TRUMP WILL NOT RELEASE THE RESULTS OF HIS PHYSICAL ON THE DR OZ SHOW.
There's probably more than one thing in his bloodwork ... high sugar, high cholesterol, high liver enzymes ... that doesn't look good.
SO now we get to be like Kremlinologists, and try to figure out what's wrong by figuring out what's missing.

All you have to do is look at how the market behaves: the worse the economic data the higher the stock prices go.
Shit SIG can't you get anything right? You keep blaming the wrong people for mistakes made in this country and show poor judgement in your claims of who is best qualified to move this country forward.
Add to that your judgement that Russian policies are best for the world and you show yourself to be completely void of intelligence. I would add the Russian economy is in the tank.
Family Incomes Rise
A surge in U.S. incomes last year delivered the first significant raise for the typical family after seven years of stagnant and declining earnings, the result of sustained job growth finally lifting a broad swath of American households.
The median household income -- the level at which half are above and half are below -- rose 5.2%, or $2,798, to $56,516, from a year earlier, after adjusting for inflation, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.
The increase was the largest annual gain recorded since the yearly survey of incomes began in 1967, though it didn't fully close the gap left by last decade's recessions. Median household incomes stood 1.6% shy of the 2007 level, before the last recession took its toll, and 2.4% below the all-time high reached in 1999.
The figures show how several years of robust employment growth, including 2.4 million people who gained full-time work last year, helped regain ground lost after an especially wrenching downturn, particularly for lower-income households. Longer hours, higher wages and lower inflation also have contributed to the improvement.

Crowdfunding campaign will donate $6 million to veterans groups if Trump releases his tax returns
A Silicon Valley billionaire just raised the stakes with a $5 million pledge.
www.crowdpac.com/campaigns/74424/mr-trump-we-challenge-you-release-you
r-tax-returns-and-well-donate-to-these-veterans-organizations
A 26-year-old Marine Corps veteran has launched a crowdfunding campaign that he says will donate $6 million to veterans organizations if Donald Trump releases his tax returns.
The campaign, which was launched Friday on the crowdfunding website CrowdPac, was created by Peter Kiernan in response to frustration at the Republican presidential nominee's lack of transparency. Kiernan, a veteran who fought in the war in Afghanistan, selected 10 veterans groups for donations. "Trump claims to love veterans, and so we’re asking him to put his money where his mouth is," Kiernan wrote on the campaign's Web page. Trump has claimed that he has donated $6 million to veterans groups in the past.
Kiernan's campaign got a huge boost Monday when Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and CrowdPac investor, pledged to donate $5 million if the campaign is able to raise $1 million in donations. In a letter Hoffman penned on Medium, the investor wrote that Trump has skirted his obligation to the American people by refusing to release his taxes. "The ingenuity of Kiernan’s proposal is how it gives Trump a strong incentive to act but doesn’t reward him directly for something he should have already done," he added.
Hoffman chose $5 million as the donation in reference to a similar proposal that Trump made in 2012 in which he promised to donate the same amount to charity if President Obama released his college and passport applications and records. Obama did, Trump didn’t, because he said he wasn’t satisfied with Obama’s response. Although Trump later claimed he did contribute to charity, except he didn’t and he says you can’t prove he didn’t as he laughs at you suckers.
