Trump - Beginning of the End?

Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Donald Trump? His comments about Mexicans, Muslims, women, disabled people etc seemed not to hurt him at all, calling Hilary "the Devil" and calling for Russia to hack government emails to find dirt on her didn't cause him to miss a beat. But has attacking the mother of a dead soldier been one step too far? A Republican congressman has stated that he will be voting for Hilary, and its fairly well known that most of the party establishment hate him, so can he win without their support?

In a word - no. As long as his opponent is an incompetent, corrupt, PC-token then he's in with a reasonable chance.

Absolutely

You would be surprised the amount of Americans backing Trump and in a way I hope he gets through, will be interesting to see the change

The polls have Clinton ahead by about 4.5 points.

Respect for veterans in big in the US. I can't see someone voting for a commander in chief who is going to order men and women into conflict and then take the piss out of the mother's of the deceased. Well I hope not anyway.

The more outlandish Trump becomes, the more people back him. He says many things that a presidential candidate should not be sayi g. Makes no sense to me. As an American, i do not see a candidate worth supporting. The rest of the world better be ready for WW3

It doesn't matter what Trump says, have you not noticed that? People aren't listening or just don't care. Now apart from the fact that the opposition is crap and corrupt and both of the Clintons are disliked, people are sick of the political establishment and want change. Trump will win and the vote won't even be close. In the long run it will be a good thing for America

Well, on the basis that Jeremy Corbyn looks likely to retain leadership of the Labour Party without the support of his own MP's - quite possibly.

The whole US way of doing politics does my head in. I just don't understand how they can spend so much money on electing a President. And it takes 2 years ffs!!

And end up with someone like Trump?

IMHO Trump is a bloody liability to us all as he will, if elected, be the most powerful man in the world. As someone observed if you can upset him with a Tweet God help us as his finger will be on the nuclear button. And this is the man that reckons Belgium is a nice city ...

Clinton has many haters and I guess its all internal politicking but looking from the outside in she seems about as capable as any other President has been. She has served her country in major ways as a Senator (when she was right in there getting funding for New York post 9/11) and Secretary of State when she had the guts top say 'kill Bun Laden' At least knows where every where else is in the world and is pretty much respected by world leaders.

Yeah she is certainly qualified for the role with lots of domestic and foreign policy experience. Trump has never held office or served in military (other Presidents have either done one or the other or both). If he cant manage to control himself on a debate stage, he won't be able to control himself on the world stage.

Running a country is very different from running a twitter account.

The president really isn't that powerful, that's not how the American system is set up, he can't launch nuclear weapons without his vp and Chief of staffs approval, he can't invoke any laws without congress passing it... I'm afraid Mr trump will be the most lame duck president ever elected contrary to popular opinion

"trump wins prepare for world war 3,we might as well all give up"

hilary wins prepare for world war 3.

I fixed your quote for you.

At least trump said he is going to try and make relations with russia better whilst hilary is going to carry on what the west and nato are already doing and pushing and prodding russia into getting some kind of reaction from then.

As much as I dislike trump... I think the threat of world war 3 is much more likely with hilary in power.

America is potentially screwed either way but the world will be more screwed with hilary .

Amen, this is the woman on video dancing around like a bellend and clapping her hands screaming we came we conquered he died ,over Gaddafis death thus pushing Libya into a spiral downwards never seen under Gaddafi!!.

.

Not happy with that, well she also opposed gay marriage as a senator, gays in the armed forces, she's flip flopped on practically everything she's ever said throughout her entire life, has no persona, lies about everything.... And yet she's the good candidate... Only in America

I can see Trump winning it. Whether it is good thing for America and the global community in the long term is debatable. Hopefully he is more competent and thick skinned than he seems.

Though American congress might make a Trump presidency similar to a second term Obama administration, where he tries to d new things, congress blocks them.

Too true, if the western backed rebels see off Assad then I can't believe they will let the Russians keep their only Mediterranean base open, which I don't think the Russians will give up without a fight.

So what the Forum are saying is that Trump or Clinton the world will be a more dangerous place come January 2017.

How have we let one country become so dominant in the world that one person can cause such potential mayhem?

No I'm biased like everybody else from life's experiences but I see my own bias so i try to counteract it with knowledge.

Firstly the Americans didn't "wade" in to the Balkans, if they could be blamed for anything there it would be acting to slowly.

Secondly Kosovo today is a secular democratic Muslim country with a bill of rights, it's far far far better off today after US intervention than it ever was!.

Was it perfect, no, but by hell it's better than the hell it was.

May I just point out that my drawing a parallel with the lead in bad lieutenant. He is a policemen who started out meaning well but whose experiences have left him jaded. This is the comparison I'm making. America's foreign policies sometimes fail upon contact with the real world. At no point do I intend an anti American stance, meanly to illustrate the complexities of world politics.

Can I gently point out that going to war isn't a 'Foreign Policy Initiative'. That is what happens when the initiative has failed. So the fact we have had all these wars sort of proves my point.

The events in Korea were a United Nations reaction to an invasion by China. There were British (and other) forces engaged in that war but of course no one hears about them. Look up The Glorious Glosters and how they saved a whole American Division when 5,000 held back 27,000 Chinese killing 10,000, the last 300 with bayonets, and how a few escaped only to be shot by Americans.... No one hears about that do they?

As for the Balkans well that was NATO after the EU didn't have a clue and panicked. Again I do believe there were a few British troops involved?

Vietnam? Well that worked out just fine and the Yanks were left disappearing off into the sunset tipping aircraft off of carriers ....

Last thought seeing as we are on about wars: The last war the USA won on its own was in 1916 against Dominica...

Please differentiate between a 'Foreign Policy Initiative' and a military intervention. And given, apart from Vietnam, the USA never does anything militarily on its own means it is usually a NATO or UN intervention not just American.

Yeah I know what your saying and strictly speaking yes theres always other countries involved but we're really taking the likes of 100,000 Americans, 3000 British and 400 Germans/Dutch/Spanish.

The vast majority like over 90% of the hardware is American, 90% of the troops... When we say NATO saved the Balkans, that's just a nice way of saying some other country's agreed with and went along with US policy!.

I'm not trying to be argumentive, the US has done some incredibly daft shit foreign policy for lots of various reasons, but it really isn't the cause of all the world's problems and it really has helped millions of people over the decades from Korea to Vietnam to Kosovo to Indonesia to Russia and East Germany because belive it or not they spent trillions of dollars fighting communism and no I'm not decrying communism as the worst evil but personally I'd rather be free and shitly paid than not and shitly paid.

I am sure we agree on a lot here but my earlier point was about US Foreign Policy which seems to create more issues than it solves.

As a matter of interest there were some 100,000 UK troops involved in Korea..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1285708.stm

In Kosovo in June 1999 of the 20,000 troops who went in 8,000 were British. This grew to over 11,000 and the KFOR commander was British: Gen. Sir Mike Jackson. A man who once told his US superior in Brussels when commanded to attack the Russians in a Kosovo airfield "If you think I am going to tell my men to be the cause of WWIII you are bloody well mistaken!". He eventually went and had a chat with the Russian commander and they agreed to secure the airfield together....

I'm not trying to be argumentive, the US has done some incredibly daft shit foreign policy for lots of various reasons, but it really isn't the cause of all the world's problems and it really has helped millions of people over the decades from Korea to Vietnam to Kosovo to Indonesia to Russia and East Germany because belive it or not they spent trillions of dollars fighting communism and no I'm not decrying communism as the worst evil but personally I'd rather be free and shitly paid than not and shitly paid.

Yup, no ideology has caused such great and prolonged misery as communism. And yet in the UK, a small number people call themselves communists with pride. Why the word doesn't attract the shame that the term 'Facist' does it beyond my comprehension of common sense.

"trump wins prepare for world war 3,we might as well all give up

hilary wins prepare for world war 3.

I fixed your quote for you.

At least trump said he is going to try and make relations with russia better whilst hilary is going to carry on what the west and nato are already doing and pushing and prodding russia into getting some kind of reaction from then.

As much as I dislike trump... I think the threat of world war 3 is much more likely with hilary in power.

America is potentially screwed either way but the world will be more screwed with hilary ..

Amen, this is the woman on video dancing around like a bellend and clapping her hands screaming we came we conquered he died ,over Gaddafis death thus pushing Libya into a spiral downwards never seen under Gaddafi!!.

.

.

Not happy with that, well she also opposed gay marriage as a senator, gays in the armed forces, she's flip flopped on practically everything she's ever said throughout her entire life, has no persona, lies about everything.... And yet she's the good candidate... Only in America "

Out of interest, what would you call someone who supports gays in the armed forces, prep funded by the NHS but doesn't support gay married, but does support civil partnerships?

"Would you have preferred the US left the Balkans massacring each other by the tens of thousands on a daily basis maybe?... Is it a case of anythings better than US intervention?.

You see when I see people write utter bollocks about US foreign policy(which we all know isn't great) they tend to write it hoping to confirm their own bias more than anything else

Please differentiate between a 'Foreign Policy Initiative' and a military intervention. And given, apart from Vietnam, the USA never does anything militarily on its own means it is usually a NATO or UN intervention not just American. .

Yeah I know what your saying and strictly speaking yes theres always other countries involved but we're really taking the likes of 100,000 Americans, 3000 British and 400 Germans/Dutch/Spanish.

The vast majority like over 90% of the hardware is American, 90% of the troops... When we say NATO saved the Balkans, that's just a nice way of saying some other country's agreed with and went along with US policy!.

I'm not trying to be argumentive, the US has done some incredibly daft shit foreign policy for lots of various reasons, but it really isn't the cause of all the world's problems and it really has helped millions of people over the decades from Korea to Vietnam to Kosovo to Indonesia to Russia and East Germany because belive it or not they spent trillions of dollars fighting communism and no I'm not decrying communism as the worst evil but personally I'd rather be free and shitly paid than not and shitly paid.

in any other year a republican candidate should have walked it against clinton....

but clinton is up 10 against trump in most polls....

trump can't help putting his foot in his mouth, to the point where i think he is addicted to the taste of leather shoes!!!

its got to the point where he isn't endorsing senior members of his own party... and i think a case could be made to check his mental wellbeing...

I really think trump doesn't want to win.... i think he wants to lose close enough where he can claim the election is rigged....

If you are right that could destabilise the USA to a point where the redneck right resort to extreme violence against those Trump points his finger at.

The aggregation of quantitative matters will ultimately lead to the creation of matter in new qualities

It is good possible that the USA as we know it today may fall apart. Empires raise and fall, Brits should know that best by own experience

Trump regardless whether he wins or not, he contributes significantly to further division of the American political landscape

So does Hillary in her own way

The US electorate has to chose between pestilence and cholera

Our system is due for radical change and rebirth anyway which unfortunately requires the destruction of current structures. Until the end of WW2 the common way to achieve this reorganization was to brainwash people about the superiority of the nation, create mantras to project enemies and then have a little war party with increasing collateral civilian casualties. Not that popular in Europe at the moment, but human history is full of repeating the same horrible errors and the willingness to die and kill for whatever dubious cause.

There are scary times ahead indeed

I am sure we agree on a lot here but my earlier point was about US Foreign Policy which seems to create more issues than it solves.

As a matter of interest there were some 100,000 UK troops involved in Korea..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1285708.stm

In Kosovo in June 1999 of the 20,000 troops who went in 8,000 were British. This grew to over 11,000 and the KFOR commander was British: Gen. Sir Mike Jackson. A man who once told his US superior in Brussels when commanded to attack the Russians in a Kosovo airfield "If you think I am going to tell my men to be the cause of WWIII you are bloody well mistaken!". He eventually went and had a chat with the Russian commander and they agreed to secure the airfield together...."

Have to admire Sir Mike Jackson, hard arse para and a brain like a razor. He's probably more politically astute than Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson combined.....

It is like brexit over here in the USA. People who are fired up emotionally to politics, where trump is just manipulating them, getting them angry etc. What should be hard factual evidence isn't interesting to them - it goes over their heads, as they're fired up. From Roman times, through hitler etc, the rabble rousing politicians work the plebs.

I think we may have passed peak trump, he's possibly shot his load and the majority of the public failed to be satisfied.

I don't see the avuncular side to be honest. He strikes me as the kind of guy that would gladly ship us off to 're-education camps' if we disagreed with him. If you go back to '99 then Putin was called a "progressive liberal" who was going to turn Russia into a booming market economy. And now his people are poorer than their average Indian counterparts.

Well lets see if I am alone in my interpretation of his words, lets look at the headlines:

Telegraph: Donald Trump 'hints that Hilary Clinton could be shot' by gun rights supporters

Guardian: This is Donald Trump at his lowest yet: a man hinting at murder

LA Times: Trump accused of threatening violence against Clinton with gun-rights remarks

Washington Examiner: Trump's gun comments prove he's totally unfit for office

perhaps they know that where I live is troubled with vast herds of deer that regularly jump out onto the road to cross it, and its not little roe deer, they are large reds that can do a lot of damage

I would suspect the person concerned would be aware of this troublesome crossing of deer

That's open to an awful lot of interpretations depending on your political leanings.

I really hope he meant vote against her although it is true that highly motivated individuals could take the words the wrong way.... Like that chap who murdered that Glaswegian shop keeper!

If he meant get out and vote, then why didn’t he say that? Surely a candidate making a statement encouraging people to get involved in the democratic process wouldn’t have been a problem, but he didn’t make any mention of the democratic process, or voting, so its fairly clear what he was talking about.

you seem to forget that little bit, but then again that little bit throws your agreement right out of the window, seems you pick and choose the bits you want to hear

"Trump commented

"he was only urging gun rights supporters to vote in large numbers"

then the incompetents start suggesting other things "

actually that is a nice spin on what he said....

unforunately THIS is what he actually said.....

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the second amendment,”

(actually that is not true.. she has never said that, but it links on to the next bit)

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”

at best it was an insane and utterly stupid thing to say!!! especially in this climate where one of his followers may be crazy enough to take a pot shot (bearing in mind that both clinton and trump have secret service protection at the moment till the election)

at worst, Threatening to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a presidential candidate is a felony, punishable with up to five years in prison.

its someone he should have even thought about saying in jest....

I know there are trump supporters on here... but even you guys shouldn't be trying to justify this... and yet again, there are!!!!

fatio that was no spin

keep in touch

Speaking at a rally in North Carolina, Mr Trump hinted that gun rights advocates could stop her taking power.

That sparked an online backlash, many accusing him of inciting violence.

He replied that he was only urging gun rights supporters to vote in large numbers.

The remarks that sparked the firestorm were made at a rally in Wilmington on Tuesday afternoon.

The Republican presidential nominee said of his Democratic opponent: "Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.

To be fair, he didn't say that she did say it. He is giving his opinion on her intentions. Not allowable in a court of law (speculation) but common practice in the circus of politics.

i am no fan of the way hillary had dealt with some of this issues that has befallen here on the campaign trail.... i voted for sanders in the democratic primary!

people on the right and more and more distancing themselves from trump because hes batshit crazy.... and does not have the ability to cope with situations of his own making well...

the mocking on the disabled reporter, the attack against the american judge of mexican heritage, the attack against the gold star family, the anti muslim policy and so on....

but yet it feels like his supporters are basically enabling and enboldening him...

it might have work with his base.... but it doesn't work in the general

he has been pulled up on the campaign trail for saying by reporters and media alike....

it must be frustrating for republicans because we could have been talking about clinton foundation e-mails this morning, and she would have been on the backfoot.... but yet trump and not stay on message long enough without again putting his foot in his mouth.....

Fabio, you're a smart guy but we've been over this before... nobody is supporting trump because of what he says. They are supporting him because his surname isn't Clinton.

So you can criticise the stupid things he says all you want, lots of people will agree with you and you'll feel better. But his surname still won't be Clinton.

People are tired of politicians who want to debate what the meaning of the word 'is' is.

Mate, humans are ideologically driven, once they've "bought the train ticket" jumping off would be to admit a mistake..... And we all know people don't like admitting mistakes, just the word mistake is now currently seen as shameful, however people like people with "experience" this is a nice way of saying I want somebody who's made loads of mistakes and has learnt something from their life time of cock ups!!.

Of course there are those that make cock up after cock up and never learn.... These people usually go into politics

Donald Trump is the frontrunner in the Republican race to be the presidential nominee for next year's election. What are his policies and beliefs?

(12 of his 30 beliefs - from the BBC)

1. Arab-Americans cheered the attacks on 9/11. Trump repeatedly claimed that on 11 September, 2001, there were thousands of Arab-Americans celebrating in New Jersey after two planes flew into the Twin Towers. He says such public demonstrations "tell you something" about Muslims living in the US. However, there are no media reports to back up the claim.

2. There should be surveillance on US mosques. Trump believes Muslims should be tracked by law enforcement as a counterterrorism initiative. He has walked back some comments about keeping a database on all American Muslims, but says he doesn't care if watching mosques is seen as "politically incorrect".

3. The US should use waterboarding and other methods of "strong interrogation" in its fight against the Islamic State. The candidate said that these methods are "peanuts" compared to the tactics used by the militants, such as beheadings.

4. Trump would "bomb the hell" out of IS. He claims that no other candidate would be tougher on the Islamic State and he would weaken the militants by cutting off their access to oil.

5. Create a simpler tax code. Trump wants anyone who earns less than $25,000 (£16,524) to pay no income tax. They would submit nothing more than a single page tax form that reads "I win". He would lower the business tax to 15%. He would also allow multinational companies keeping money overseas to repatriate their cash at a 10% tax rate.

6. Hedge fund managers are "getting away with murder" under the current US tax code.Trump found common ground with Democrats like Senator Elizabeth Warren when he said that hedge fund managers and the ultra-wealthy do not pay enough taxes. However, after the campaign released specifics of his plan, analysts argued that hedge fund managers would actually get a tax cut along with the middle class.

7. He wants to build a "great, great wall" between the US and Mexico. In some of his earliest campaign comments, Trump suggested that Mexicans coming to the US are largely criminals. "They are bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and they're rapists," he said. A wall on the border, he claims, will not only keep out undocumented immigrants but Syrian migrants as well. He also believes that Mexico should have to pay for the wall, which a BBC analysis estimates could cost between $2.2bn and $13bn.

8. A mass deportation of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the US should go into effect. Despite criticism that this idea is both xenophobic and prohibitively expensive - the BBC estimates $114bn - Trump says his deportation plan is as achievable as it will be humane. In addition, his immigration reforms would end "birthright citizenship", the policy that grants the children of illegal immigrants citizenship so long as they are born on American soil. He does not support creating a new path to citizenship for undocumented workers.

9. He and Vladmir Putin would "get along very well". In an interview with CNN, Trump said that Putin and Obama dislike one another too much to negotiate, but that "I would probably get along with him very well. And I don't think you'd be having the kind of problems that you're having right now".

10. In order to end mass shootings, the US should invest in mental health treatment. However, Trump does not believe that more gun control is the answer. In a position paper on gun rights, Trump revealed he has a concealed carry permit and that when it comes to gun and magazine bans, "the government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own". He would also oppose an expansion of background checks.

11. China should be taken to task on a number of issuesin order to make trade with the US more equitable. If elected he says he will make China stop undervaluing its currency, and force it to step up its environmental and labour standards. He is also critical of the county's lax attitude towards American intellectual property and hacking.

12. The Black Lives Matter movement is "trouble". Trump mocks former Democratic candidates like Martin O'Malley for apologising to members of the protest movement against police brutality and casts himself as a pro-law enforcement candidate. "I think they're looking for trouble," he once said of the activist group. He also tweeted a controversial graphic purporting to show that African Americans kill whites and blacks at a far higher rates than whites or police officers. However, the graphic cites a fictitious "Crime Statistics Bureau" for its numbers, and has been widely debunked using real FBI data.

the probably for trump is that he can say what he say oblivious because it is not a vote he is after... and it appeals to a certain type of person in the party he represents...

if david duke, who was a grand wizard in the KKK, can get a higher proportion of the black vote in his primary in Louisana than donald trump gets in the national election (trump is behind clinton in potential black voters at the moment but a small sum of 99%-1%) then donald has a huge problem......

BLM is like every other grassroots movement. It starts off well but then gets hijacked by professionals hungry for power. Just like the occupy movement, free Tibet and PETA.

It's full of bellends and professional victims now. People who couldn't care less about equality but just want to advance their own group.

"Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Donald Trump? His comments about Mexicans, Muslims, women, disabled people etc seemed not to hurt him at all, calling Hilary "the Devil" and calling for Russia to hack government emails to find dirt on her didn't cause him to miss a beat. But has attacking the mother of a dead soldier been one step too far? A Republican congressman has stated that he will be voting for Hilary, and its fairly well known that most of the party establishment hate him, so can he win without their support?

Absolutely

You would be surprised the amount of Americans backing Trump and in a way I hope he gets through, will be interesting to see the change"

It's definitely going to be different and at time a scary roller coaster ride, it will so so funny hearing the PC folks whinging their bags off when he is elected

then the incompetents start suggesting other things

If someone said to you "I know where you live, I hope you don't have an accident on your way home tonight." would you think that they were worried about your safety, or intended to do you harm?

perhaps they know that where I live is troubled with vast herds of deer that regularly jump out onto the road to cross it, and its not little roe deer, they are large reds that can do a lot of damage

I would suspect the person concerned would be aware of this troublesome crossing of deer"

It's obvious that there's going to be human error in policing, some is accidental and some is racist.

But the correct response to injustice is never going to marching through the street chanting "what do we want? - dead cops".

you saying "black" lives matter more than all lives; I totally disagree

I say ALL life's matter, what makes you think that black lives should matter more than all lives, its total nonsense and attention seeking.

You need to change your call from "black lives matter"

to

"All lives matter"

or is that beyond you.

There was a few threads on this in the lounge months back and a similar conclusion found.

It always makes me think of the 90s boyband East 17

You wanna know how I know you're gay?

What's wrong with being gay? Are you trying to use that as an insult?

Guess you haven't seen the 40 year old virgin or just lost your sense of humor to PC

I have seen the film, but that reference must have gone right over my head.

It's when the two guys are sat playing a video game together. YouTube is your friend. "

Trayvon Martin was unarmed, he was not carrying a concealed weapon. If a black man armed with a gun had followed and confronted and then shot dead an unarmed white teenager do you think the justice system would have come to the same verdict?

1) He was not carrying a concealed anything other than a bag of sweets.

2) The person who shot him was not a Policeman and indeed he was told by the Police despatch team NOT to get involved.

when Martin suddenly appeared while Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle. He described Martin at different points in the interviews as appearing "out of nowhere", "from the darkness", and as "jump[ing] out of the bushes". Zimmerman said that Martin asked, "You got a fucking problem, homie?" Zimmerman replied no, then Martin said "You got a problem now" and punched Zimmerman. As they struggled on the ground, Zimmerman on his back with Martin on top of him, Zimmerman yelled for help "probably 50 times". (See Background yells for help in 9-1-1 calls) Martin told him to "Shut the fuck up" as he hit him in the face and pounded his head on a concrete sidewalk. When Zimmerman tried to move off the concrete, Martin saw his gun and said "You're going to die tonight motherfucker!" Martin grabbed for the gun, but Zimmerman grabbed it first. He said after firing his weapon at Martin, he was not sure at first that he had hit him, so he got on top of him in order to subdue him.Bystanders and police arrived shortly after Martin was shot.

Police reports state Zimmerman "appeared to have a broken and a bloody nose and swelling of his face". Zimmerman was offered three chances to be taken to the hospital, but declined each time, according to police reports released by the prosecution. ABC News reported that a medical report compiled by Zimmerman's family physician showed that, following the altercation with Martin, Zimmerman was diagnosed with a closed fracture of his nose, two black eyes, lacerations to the back of his head, a minor back injury, and bruising in his upper lip and cheek.

.

On April 11, 2012, Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder in Martin's death. The trial began on June 24, 2013, and was presented to the jury for deliberations on July 12. Zimmerman was found not guilty the following day

This type of shooting happens on a regular basis all over the united states , black on black, Hispanic on Hispanic and white on white and every combination in between, is there any evidence that this incident was racially motivated?.

"Trump commented

"he was only urging gun rights supporters to vote in large numbers"

then the incompetents start suggesting other things

If someone said to you "I know where you live, I hope you don't have an accident on your way home tonight." would you think that they were worried about your safety, or intended to do you harm?

perhaps they know that where I live is troubled with vast herds of deer that regularly jump out onto the road to cross it, and its not little roe deer, they are large reds that can do a lot of damage

I would suspect the person concerned would be aware of this troublesome crossing of deer

Now I know where you live, I hope you don't have an accident on your way home. Be careful on those dark roads

stop by, come in, have a coffee, just be very careful if you feel the need for a shower "

That's what I call a threat

If he was unarmed tell me why the shooter also had to receive hospital treatment for a stab wound , however i do agree that had it been the other way round a manslaughter verdict may have been returned

In a sad way this actually comes back to the OP and the latest Trump up-cock. If there was no 2nd Amendment and therefore not so many guns in the USA I would suggest (as an outsider who lives in a safer country with prescriptive gun laws) that all these black lives (and thousands of white ones) would not have been ended so brutally and unjustly....

But maybe that is for another Thread ...

I think trump is heading for the biggest loss in presidential election history. The next 100 days will tell, but I think that Trump is going to hit out at more and more people, cause more and more offence, and basically sink himself, rather than be beaten by Clinton.

I fear you will be unpleasantly surprised at how many rampantly racists and ignorant rednecks will lap up everything he says with gusto and vote for him.

Sad fact is he is actually voicing many Americans views. The fact that those views are born out of the desperation caused by the likes of Trump exporting US jobs to SE Asia and China has no baring on the fact that many see Trump as a saviour who is giving many a voice.

I'm not really sure how off shoring can objectively be used against him. In a competitive market it's basically a necessity unless their is a significant consumer group willing to pay higher prices for domestically made goods. Since the latter does not appear to exist then it's the aggregate decisions that these people made every day that drove the trend. I don't remember them complaining about falling consumer prices...

The mother of a nice of mine is from a real GOP backwoods redneck clan. They disowned her when she left her Oklahoma valley to attend Washington State University, and when they heard that she was living with an English man in Chicago and going to have his child they sent a couple of her brothers to the city to kill my brother and take her home! Lucky for my brother and his girlfriend they were so dumb they walked into his building carrying shotguns and told the security they were there to deal with the man who done their family wrong and take their sister home!

Truth of the matter is when it comes to the us election there are blue state (democrat) and red states (republican)and finally swing stes which go either way these decide which way it goes as the republicans always start behind after the guaranteed states are counted they rely on those swing states to win, problem is if yoj look at those states a great deal are poorer working class industrial states and they love what trump is coming out with so boy it will be close

In all the debate over Trump or Clinton you are missing an important point.

Americans have devised a clever system of electing an opposing congress. So you have Republican in the white house and demorate congress and vice versa.

which keeps both sides in check quite nicely most of the time

Problem is when both houses are controlled by the same party like for the last two years when republicans have basically railroaded anything obama has tried to do would be terrible for the world for at least two years if trump was to get in

Doesn't cost me much, any system that makes government less efficient tends to stop them causing too much trouble for the population, though the USA does seem to be pretty good at so much expensive democracy that nobody gets a say in how it's run.

Trayvon Martin was unarmed, he was not carrying a concealed weapon. If a black man armed with a gun had followed and confronted and then shot dead an unarmed white teenager do you think the justice system would have come to the same verdict?

when Martin suddenly appeared while Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle. He described Martin at different points in the interviews as appearing "out of nowhere", "from the darkness", and as "jump[ing] out of the bushes". Zimmerman said that Martin asked, "You got a fucking problem, homie?" Zimmerman replied no, then Martin said "You got a problem now" and punched Zimmerman. As they struggled on the ground, Zimmerman on his back with Martin on top of him, Zimmerman yelled for help "probably 50 times". (See Background yells for help in 9-1-1 calls) Martin told him to "Shut the fuck up" as he hit him in the face and pounded his head on a concrete sidewalk. When Zimmerman tried to move off the concrete, Martin saw his gun and said "You're going to die tonight motherfucker!" Martin grabbed for the gun, but Zimmerman grabbed it first.

big problem here.... thats only one side of the story.... we didn't get to hear the other side because someone shot and killed him after explicitly being told by the police on 911 not to follow him!!!!

if someone followed me and they had a gun, I might think they were the aggressor....

"Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Donald Trump? His comments about Mexicans, Muslims, women, disabled people etc seemed not to hurt him at all, calling Hilary "the Devil" and calling for Russia to hack government emails to find dirt on her didn't cause him to miss a beat. But has attacking the mother of a dead soldier been one step too far? A Republican congressman has stated that he will be voting for Hilary, and its fairly well known that most of the party establishment hate him, so can he win without their support? "

its got to the point where he isn't endorsing senior members of his own party... and i think a case could be made to check his mental wellbeing...

if david duke, who was a grand wizard in the KKK, can get a higher proportion of the black vote in his primary in Louisana than donald trump gets in the national election (trump is behind clinton in potential black voters at the moment but a small sum of 99%-1%) then donald has a huge problem......

"

so many wrong opinions

"Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Donald Trump? His comments about Mexicans, Muslims, women, disabled people etc seemed not to hurt him at all, calling Hilary "the Devil" and calling for Russia to hack government emails to find dirt on her didn't cause him to miss a beat. But has attacking the mother of a dead soldier been one step too far? A Republican congressman has stated that he will be voting for Hilary, and its fairly well known that most of the party establishment hate him, so can he win without their support?

looks like you were wrong"

Wrong for asking a questuon?

Given the history of the first year I am not impressed that he has not:

1. Locked up crooked Hillary - as he promised - Why hasn't he?

2. Where's his new health care plan?

3. Where's the wall not even a brick built?

4. Why hasn't he released his tax records - what's he got to hide?

"in any other year a republican candidate should have walked it against clinton....

but clinton is up 10 against trump in most polls....

trump can't help putting his foot in his mouth, to the point where i think he is addicted to the taste of leather shoes!!!

its got to the point where he isn't endorsing senior members of his own party... and i think a case could be made to check his mental wellbeing...

I really think trump doesn't want to win.... i think he wants to lose close enough where he can claim the election is rigged....

Wrong lol, "

is your life that empty that you feel the need to trawl the forums to be able to say 'wrong' and have a laugh..?

a bit sad from someone who claims to have so much to do and be so fulfilled ..

hey ho..

not really because guess what there is no issue with accepting as an adult that we get things wrong now and then, for some it's how they learn..

children however struggle with the acceptance of it but they grow out of it..

more of an observation than an insult unless of course your easily offended..

btw i don't have a time of the month being a bloke and all but don't let that stop your casual misogyny as a response..

Wrong for asking if he could win with such bigotted opinions. Unfortunately the answer was yes he did win. His comments seemed to fall on deaf ears. He continues to offend people and yet he still walks on this earth. Usually playing a round of golf while everyone runs the country.

Well, Trump supporters don't really have much to celebrate, so they've fallen back on "old glories".

actually i don't..... everyone is entitled to their opinions.....

for example, I'd prefer that people can see how petty for example it is to bring up something from 18 months ago to score points.....
