His body language tells me he's hiding something.

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.

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.

Good points THGRRI,

And here you have the Donald calling Obama is terrible leader, a weakling and terrible negotiator.

Hey, I just figured it out. Everything that Trumps says is the opposite.
Bad is Good, Up is down, kissing your daughter - What? everybody does it,
poor health is excellent and greatest for a man of 70.

Wait.........I'm confused. What was that middle one again?

People are sick of being lied to by the establishment. Unfortunately, that leaves them susceptible to a different kind of lie. 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. 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.

Trump promotes oil and gas ideas that industry insiders call ‘completely nuts.’
Houston Chronicle editorial, Sept 15, 2016
www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/A-dry-hole-9223632
.php


When Murray Energy CEO, Bob Murray, met with Donald Trump and told him to advocate for more LNG exports, Trump’s response was “What’s LNG?”

Talk about your dry holes.

As any Houstonian knows, LNG, or liquified natural gas, is how energy companies move natural gas across the globe. The fracking revolution has transformed the energy landscape from one of scarcity into surplus, and now the United States has begun to export LNG instead of importing it. This change in energy markets is one of the most important turning points in contemporary geopolitics.

Since his display of LNG ignorance, Trump has done essentially nothing to educate himself about one of the leading energy and geopolitical issues that will come across the president’s desk. He’s flip-flopped on fracking bans. His calls for a trade war would undermine the petroleum industry’s long-fought battle to export crude oil and LNG. And he has proposed a bizarre tax on profits from the Keystone XL pipeline, which would not only be an illegal taking from oil companies but would also unconstitutionally abrogate Congress’ exclusive authority to levy taxes.

“You’re not building a high-rise here and getting shaken down by the local union for a donation to the pension fund — you’re building a major pipeline through the U.S.,” Politico reporter Eric Wolff quoted one oil industry lobbyist. “Something like this is a deterrent on pipeline investment. It’s not taken seriously, because it’s just completely nuts.”

See if you can figure out what Trump will do. I think Trump's answer will be obvious from many years of experience and many lawsuits filed against him:

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.

When Reality Turned Inside Out

Do you remember way—-way—-way—back in July, when the public thought Trump was the candidate they couldn’t trust with the nuclear arsenal? That was before we realized he could moderate his personality on command, as he is doing now. We’re about to enter our fifth consecutive week of Trump doing more outreach than outrage.

It turns out that Trump’s base personality is “winning.” Everything else he does is designed to get that result. He needed to be loud and outrageous in the primaries, so he was. He needs to be presidential in this phase of the election cycle, so he is.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has revealed herself to be frail, medicated, and probably duplicitous about her health. We also hear reports that she’s a drinker with a bad temper. Suddenly, Clinton looks like the unstable personality in this race. Who do you want controlling the nuclear arsenal now?

You probably thought Trump was the bigot in this contest, until Clinton called half of Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.” That’s the point at which observers started to see a pattern. Trump has been consistently supportive of American citizens of all types – with the exception of the press and his political opponents. The main targets of Trump’s rhetoric are the nations that compete against us. In stark contrast, Clinton turned her hate on American citizens. That’s the real kind of hate. Trump is more about keeping America safe and competing effectively in the world. That is literally the job of president.

Trump was once the candidate that the LGBTQ community found easy to hate. Then it turned out that Trump is the loudest voice for protecting America against the anti-gay ideology that Clinton would increase in this country via immigration. At the GOP convention, Republicans stood and applauded Trump’s full-throated support of the LGBTQ community. While Clinton was talking about a better society, Trump was transforming the Republican Party into one. (Yes, I know there is more to do.)

You might remember a few months ago when Clinton had lots of policy details and Trump had few. Clinton still holds the lead in the number of bullet-points-per-policy, but while she rests, Trump has been rolling out policy details on one topic after another. Perception-wise, the optics of “who has policy details” has flipped. (Reality isn’t important in this context.)

Do you remember over a year ago, when Trump first entered the race? Social media relentlessly insulted his physical appearance. They mocked his orange hair and his orange skin. They called him a clown. They called him a Cheeto. It was brutal.

But over time, Trump’s haircut improved. He softened the color to something more blonde than orange And his fake tan and TV makeup improved too. Today, if you ask a voter to name the candidate for president who “looks bad,” the answer would probably be Clinton, primarily because of her recent health issues. In our minds, Clinton went from being a stylish and energetic personality to a hospice patient dressed like a North Korean dictator at a rave.

Not long ago, you would have said Clinton was the strongest candidate for protecting citizens who need the help of social programs. Then Trump unveiled his plan for childcare and senior care. You can debate the details, and the cost, but nearly everyone recognized the idea as a critical need for working class people.

In other words, the world is turning inside-out, right in front of our eyes.

By October 1, Trump will have a 50% chance of beating Hillary, and it is all because Trump is changing his tactics while Hillary has stayed the same. I'd say there is no authentic Trump at this time and, because most voters can't remember his past, he can change into any character that will get votes. After the election we will be living with President Tru

It's not Trumps personality that's winning. It's the protest vote by Americans whose jobs have gone overseas that's keeping a TOON character like Trump in the race. It's the Rust Belt and Appellation voters who have nothing left to lose, and who don't care how unqualified Trump is that keeping the race close. It's the White voter without an education who lost his good paying manufacturing job that is voting for Trump. This is a form of payback to the Clintons and all those like them( the other 17 Republican candidate's, to name a few )who are responsible. It's not that difficult to understand and is the only thing that makes any sense.

Don't let yourself be distracted by subjective posts like those of kiki and SIG. They post untruths meant to sway and confuse opinions which helps them control the narrative.

That said I think you are doing good works in exposing Trump for the derelict he is.

Quote Elisabeth Warren.

"I believe that Donald taps into a deep anger that the American people feel and rightly feel," Warren told CNBC. "I think people all across this country understand what's broken about this economy, what's broken about this country, that we now have a Washington that works for those who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers but its not working for the rest of America. The problem is that Donald Trump will just take us in the wrong direction."

timmons-politely-shut-down-donald-trumps-politicking-then-he-lied-about-it-and-called-her-a-nervous-mess
/

As he is wont to do, Trump turned what should have been an innocuous visit to a church into a major problem.

Trump was invited by Pastor Faith Green Timmons to Bethel United Methodist Church in Flint, Michigan, to speak about the city and its water crisis that has exposed thousands of children to high levels of lead in their drinking water. Trump was supposed to focus his remarks on Flint, Timmons has said, not on his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

So when Trump launched into his usual talking points and attacked Hillary Clinton, Timmons approached the podium and asked him to stop.

The pastor of the church politely asked Trump to stop politicking from the pulpit. The next morning, Trump went on television, called her a “nervous mess,” and then told a very different version of events from the one that journalists in the room are saying and video of the incident indicates.

Judging by that video, if there was a nervous person in the exchange, it was Trump, not the pastor. This appears to be a textbook case of projection, a psychological impulse common in bullies.

I know that the pastor was just trying to be a good Christian by offering the "other cheek" and giving him the opportunity to turn his attitude around
regarding the black community.

Sorry to say (to the pastor that is) that this had disaster written all over it. Trump was totally docile in front of the congregation, but then badmouths
the pastor, in the more friendly confines of Fox News, after being scolded by her in front of the disinterested crowd.

There's so much wrong with this visit, but he blew it Big Time!
