Just a matter of doing the math. Fooliani + Trump = 4 azzholes.
Is soldering becoming to "casual"?
I wouldn't put my iron anywhere Trump for fear of an explosion.

Trump is a shithead.
And so is Giuliani.
Not really fair to insult shitheads that way

Rudy G's 2008 campaign spent over $40 million to obtain one pledged delegate and now he's a Trump pitchman? Sad...

Excellent summary, healyje. It should be re-posted regularly to remind those too much on the fence about the state of the world due to the effects of right wing hysteria, and to just irritate the right wing nutballz in general.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, you are Vladimir Putin. Consider the following facts and assumptions:
•Hillary Clinton appears increasingly likely to win the presidential election.
The only fact on TGT's list, other than Ukraine not being a NATO member.

They were spoken by a man who never considered running for office ... 11 years ago.
Try again.

Sorry if you need to rearrange your brain to fit the truth into your beliefs. That's tough for all of us.
But none of you will admit to that ... even though the evidence is blatantly obvious.
I have admitted to having wacky human belief processes. And I've worked on finding a way to forgive you for the same. Have you?
As I've said before, Cragman, you're really good at your "shame on you's" but not so strong at your "shame on me's".

"The fact that Trump has so cavalierly raised concerns about nuclear weapons may have a silver lining. It underscores how dangerous and irrational our nuclear policies already are."
L. Krauss
Perhaps because of the threat posed by Trump, the current election season has seen some encouraging developments on the nuclear front.
"Although Hillary Clinton has not publicly weighed in on that idea [adoption of the no-first-use policy], she has signalled her opposition to the proposed nuclear-modernization program. But this is the moment for Clinton to do more. She should argue, correctly, that Donald Trump’s proximity to the nuclear button shows that we need a more rational nuclear policy."

Escopeta: And the conspicuously missing reality that our foreign policy has no strategy or direction whatsoever...
So, you made the above assertion. And now my asking you on what basis you're making this statement and asking you what you believe is missing from our foreign policy direction / strategy is somehow disingenuous? How so?

I'm enjoying the way Trump's comments are coming back to bite him on the ass.
We have a rape culture sustained and reinforced by shitheads like him saying that disgusting stuff and then laughing it off as locker room talk.
But that talk does matter - it does provide cover for rapists and sexual assault.
But now we see the better angels of his statements coming out. The fact that he said those things doesn't just provide cover for rapists and sexual assault - it also allows people to believe the stories of the women coming forward to say, yes, he did do exactly those things that he bragged about doing, and then lied about not doing.
Sure, some folks will continue to deny it to themselves. You know how we are.
I'm going to be dating her in 10 years? About a 10 year old?! Jesus! Walking in on a naked 15 year old, because he can? What my daughter and I have in common is sex?
Thankfully, we're not all all bad.

And Giuliani is a horrible guy. Taking New York from 3000 murders a year and and unsafe city to less than 400 and being able to walk in Times Square and Central Park at three in the morning safely .
Giuliani used to be OK, before he became senile--kind of like McCain
De Blassio will have animals daily raping people in Central Park in half a generation.
And you accuse others of over-the-top hyperbole and bullsh#t? Hysterical.

•Hillary Clinton doesn't negotiate, she dictates. FALSE
•Donald Trump is not a member of the globalist elite. TRUE - HE'S SIMPLY A POSER ON ANY STAGE
•Donald Trump has openly expressed his desire to avoid war with Russia. TRUE - IT'S SLOWLY BEING SHOWN HE IS IN FACT BEING USED BY PUTIN

•The USA is already engaged in a war-by-proxy with Russia in Syria. TRUE - IT'S AN EXPLICIT PART OF PUTIN'S STRATEGY FOR KEEPING THE WEST OFF-BALANCE AND FLOODING THE EU WITH REFUGEES
•The globalist elite is already waging economic war on Russia. UTTERLY FALSE - IT IS SIMPLY A VICTIM OF THE DROP IN ENERGY PRICES - THERE IS NO 'GLOBALIST ELITE'
•Ukraine is not a member of NATO. TRUE - AS IN NO SH#T SHERLOCK - BUT THE UKRANIAN PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE AWAY FROM RUSSIA AND TOWARDS THE EU
•The neocons are actively pushing for war with Russia in order to force Assad out of Syria. FALSE - AND HILLARY IS NOT A NEOCON

Riley thinks he's the only one who reads... actual... books?
....
"Globalisation and automation have weakened the position of workers and their ability to secure a decent wage." -Obama
"Too many potential physicists and engineers spend their careers shifting money around in the financial sector, instead of applying their talents to innovating in the real economy."
I'm beginning to lean toward so-called... universal basic income.
Anyone else, after researching it, already there? If not publicly the privately?
...
re: "rent-seeking"
"The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a feudal lord who installs a chain across a river that flows through his land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee (or rent of the section of the river for a few minutes) to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector. The lord has made no improvements to the river and is helping nobody in any way, directly or indirectly, except himself. All he is doing is finding a way to make money from something that used to be free."

Clinton did not call anyone a 'sand ni**er': http://www.snopes.com/hillary-sand-wikileaks-dump/ - more manufacture hysteria spoonfed to you by a crowdsourced version of Karl Rove.
Your swimming in manufactured hysteria. In fact, I'm beginning to suspect in your case it's not being spoonfed, but rather you have a streaming info-enema in place.
