    Oh there is a villainy competition? It would not hurt anyone to acknowledge villainy from all quarters - there doesn't have to be denial/downplaying of one to recognise the other.

    Not sure how "Gaddafi had his admirers and his detractors. The media have labeled President Assad a murderous Tyrant. The truth is distorted and we know a lot of bad groups are all over the region, North Africa and in West Asia, Saudi Arabia, Iran with huge human rights abuses in Turkey" in any way mitigates the horror of those rape/abuse programmes.

    Plus, the reputation of Assad is not just down to media labelling - any chance of personal responsibility acknowledgement?

    "Either with us or agin us"-ery is crap - no matter what political angle it is coming from. Why such a problem with seeing the full picture?

    He is now personally responsible for getting rid of ISIS.

    They're all abysmal. Clinton is an awful candidate. Her legacy as Secretary of State is abysmal. She'll be even worse as president. It will be a four year "**** show"

    True, but if the Republicans refuse to put an electable candidate into the contest she will win handily. The Republicans will then have a choice of either throwing another 8 year tantrum, or trying to put together an electable candidate out of the mess that is their party.

    Fine. Just give us the oil. Then they can go and, I dunno, cook their wives and give thanks, or whatever it is they do. The oil. All of it. Now!! :D

    And now we get down to the WHY.

    You think money hungry Trump isn't going to go after that piece of oil like a bull in a china shop? Course he will.

    I should imagine so. Don't they all? It has to be got, and will be got, at all costs, and I don't think the likes of ISIS have the cop-on to be as afraid as they should be.

    Trump gets elected.
    Goes into Syria/Iraq/Iran.
    Kills everyone (including American soldiers).
    Meanwhile, back at the ranch, he has set up a few companies investing in middle eastern oil, weapons and rebuilding infrastructure.
    America gets screwed.
    The middle-east breeds ISIS from previously converted Christians.
    Trump strokes his cat and cackles.

    Once it's not Tom Cruise or Travolta, we are safe. If either of them appear, we know that the world is no longer sane.

    007 these days is probably helping him do it

    Which one - the modern, ozone-friendly, puppy-dog in a good suit, or Fleming's original burnt-out, psychologically-damaged, alcoholic, misogynistic killing machine?? :D

    They are currently recruiting on a mummy page in the UK for MI6. I kid you not!

    I dont get this idea that Trump is mainly known for reality TV. He's was well known before the advent of reality tv

    For all his faults, at least he speaks his mind unlike the other media trained circus monkeys who are playing to demographics in alot of their speeches. I find it strange that people want someone that will sugar coat their bull**** over someone that will say it as they think it, whether its right or wrong.

    I believe it. This kind of crap is what has us where we are. Oh well...

    Think his murdering women and children policy is disturbing and illegal.

    That's like me saying 'Hey, I hate y'all mudda****ers so I'm gonna run you like the dogs you are'. 'Hell, I was just speaking my mind!?'

    That doesn't make me an honest person. It makes me a stupid hateful person.

    Basically, Trump can't even guage his home audience. How is he going to engage with Russia/Saudi/Europe?

    You mean like when he changed his opinion from pro-legalisation to anti-legalistion on drugs?

    Or when he went from calling himself "pro choice" on abortion, to now being "pro life" (barring rape, incest, or the mothers life being in risk... depending on where in the pregnancy they are).

    Or maybe when he went from being an advocate of background checks for guns, and banning the likes of assault rifles, to now saying "the Second Amendment is right, not a privilege,” and that he “do[es] not support expanding background checks.”

    Could it have been how he went from being all for universal health care, to rallying as loudly as possible against it nowadays?

    And let's not forget, he's been very, very pally with the Clintons for a hell of a long time and has donated to several of their political campaigns.

    You said he is not like the "other media trained circus monkeys who are playing to demographics in alot of their speeches"... but his actions and words say completely otherwise.





    All this "at least he tells it like is it/speaks his mind/etc" is completely wrong, I don't recall ever seeing someone having such a low percentage of truth/semi truth (7%) compared to lies/mostly lies (78%) on Politifact ever before. He's taking dishonesty, flip flops and pandering to a whole new level.

    Very defensive. Not able to rise above criticism and make your point? Or you just like throwing out phrases without any substance and filled the togs when called on it.

    Have you never changed you mind on anything?

    Regardless of what you think of Trump, most people have but yet politicians are expected to live by their first stance. Hypocritical at least
