And Trump just did what Trump does best. He has hijacked the top news away from the Democrats and the media is on the verge of a freak out. Keep an eye out, it's about to get interesting.
~WARNING! WARNING! INCOMING POINTLESS DEBATE! WARNING! WARNING!~ His call to have Russia or any other nation go find clintons deleted emails? I think for the most part he's just being the Donald and trying to play off the allegations that Russia was involved in the back of the dnc emails...
But even as a joke it's fairly dangerous to call for a foreign power to get access to emails the Republican Party has pretty much been attempting to crucify Hillary for possibly making it easy for the same foreign powers to gain access to said documents by taking the actions she did in storing her emails on a private server in the first place...
It seemed like a sarcastic comment. The media is not reporting it as such. It was still a stupid thing to say, but context was never a concern for the media. He laid down the bait, and they're biting HARD. Why wouldn't they? There is bias in the media and most of all they're out to make money by pandering to the hottest issues atm... Idk how trump wins at all here though...
I admittedly haven't read any his full statement on the matter so I can't really speak towards context that makes it seem sarcastic... Seems like a stupid thing to say regardless of how it's said anyways mostly because of what I mentioned in my prior post...

Trump should just announce he'd troll world leaders into submission and I'd probably buy it.
He'd probably keep sending the Mexican president those timeshare emails until he gave up and built the wall. The real wall.

Idk how trump wins at all here though Because they are talking about him and not the *yawn* DNC.
I mean, how can you get your electoral base fired up if your competitor is the hottest news item during your own convention?

Also, even MSN is dismissing the story from being actually serious*
*Footnote: MSN doesn't even report the news anymore, they basically report what other news sources report and claim it as their own. The original article came from NYT.

I wouldn't even trust a website that claims to be anonymous. The FBI can always trace your IP address. There is no such thing as being anonymous anymore. They would trace my IP for being anti-feminist? lol

Said this already recently, but I still don't see the point in the D/RNC.
Such a waste of time and resources to throw a little not-yet-winners party.

DNC will be back in the headlines when it actually resumes tonight. Right now the most interesting thing in current events is the impending disaster in Rio and who is going to be humiliated more, Russia or Brazil.

Muslim travelling with his wife and family rocks Frankfurt security after they assault his wife and she falls to the ground. His wife gets scared the police will shoot him and yells at him to fall to the ground, so he does - but only after completely manhandling them.

YouTube Video Placeholder And that shows us what exactly?
Guy attacked the police, not the other way around.

Guy attacked the police, not the other way around. Yeah its not really clear on the TV, was a lot clearer when I watched it on my phone. You can see two male security guards with a veiled women between them, and her husband standing behind them shouting at them in an american accent to not touch her. One of the guards throws her to the ground and then the dude goes to town on them.
Much clearer on my phone than this.

If it was in the USA he would have been shot while he was on the ground! You forgot to say "unless he's white."
But I'm sure you can pull out a statistic somewhere that says that there's hundreds of thousands of execution-style shootings in the US that pertains to detainment of non-white suspects.

Much clearer on my phone than this. Yeah, all I see (can't listen to the video atm) is a guy creating a scene and assaulting police officers, then being taken down in a professional manner.
So, I should expect the headlines tonight to be "Police Brutality at Dallas Airport." with that video being shown as the story, edited out the guy assaulting the police officers of course. Never mind that this happened in Germany.

Point is, we may seem uncivil towards each other, but in reality, I think we all could be good friends if we met in RL.
I've toyed with the idea of getting everyone together if I ever came into a lot of money.
We could all gather in an old, large mansion with Tim Curry as our butler, who picks you all off one by one in whodunit hijinks.

you said 'anyone here'. I guess I thought you meant the whole site, maybe you meant the thread or the last couple posts, my mistake possibly.

Well it's just bizarre when you say you wouldn't get along with anyone here, when even people who otherwise disagree constantly can concur that outside of a few political issues that get pretty heated, we'd get along pretty well. Not saying best friends or naming children after each other or anything, but we could chill at a BBQ or some ***for a few hours and have a good time.

That RL gardening thread has like, all the same people from P&R and everyone gets along great. It's rather inspiring, if perplexing.

My garden sucks the fat one this year. I think it's been too hot and dry, and I'm not supplementing the loss of waser. I'm going to try to rectify that and see if the situation improves. just been too busy.
