Nope. I'd appreciate if you'd take your aggression out on a more appropriate target. Or even better, don't attack anyone at all. If you'd read my previous posts before flying off the handle you'd get an idea of my view on Trump.
I guess now this will have cut the second worst option for the US out of the race, in favour of the worst option.
The US is ####ed, and we're ####ed by proxy.
Did I say anywhere that she has or would? She isn't the one running around yelling about "making America great again".
Hillary’s War in Syria is another expensive American adventure in nation building as the US inserts itself into the Syrian Civil War ostensibly to restrain the United States’ sworn enemy ISIS (or “ISIL” as the Obama Admin. prefers). Obama’s manner of fighting this war consistently shows a different objective ”” regime change. While that’s clear to everyone, Wikileaks’ exposure of Hillary Clinton’s emails makes it clear that US intrusion in the Syrian Civil War is really all about Iran and Israel.
Both the US and Russia want to defeat ISIS, but only the US wants to make sure Syria’s President Bashar Assad is overthrown. The United State’s ulterior motive of regime change is the reason for the stalemate last week between Russia and the United States that resulted in a significant move back to cold-war status. I think everyone has generally observed that the US-Russian disagreement is not about how to fight ISIS but about regime change in Syria. What many might not know yet is how last week’s eruption goes back to Hillary Clinton during her time as Secretary of State.
Wikileaks archive of Clinton emails shows this is Hillary’s War with Syria
The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 ”” the middle of Hillary Clinton’s term as US Secretary of State. Unmarked NATO war planes began arriving in Turkey that same year, delivering weapons absconded from Libya where America participated in another war for regime change. The planes also transported volunteer Libyan soldiers. (In my view, a mission clearly outside of NATO’s charter, which was to form an alliance under which all members would fight to protect any individual member if it was attacked, not to transform the world. No one in Syria was attacking any NATO member.) By December of 2011, the CIA and US special ops also began providing communication support to Syrian forces seeking to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Having advised President Obama to enter the Libyan Civil War, Hillary Clinton assured the press at the start of the Syrian Civil War that the United States would not similarly involve itself in that conflict. However, some documents exposed recently by Wikileaks show that Hillary’s advice to the president to enter the US into Libya’s Civil War came with a clear and intentional connection to topple the Assad regime:
In one document labeled “CONFIDENTIAL,” Sidney Blumenthal, a former aide to President Bill Clinton and long-time confidante to Hillary Clinton, wrote the following to Hillary:
Assad’ s gestures at reform are delusional attempts to recreate the pattern of his own recent past when he gained a modicum of respect from the West. Likely the most important event that could alter the Syrian equation would be the fall of Qaddafi, providing an example of a successful rebellion. (Wikileaks
Thought The Donald did better in Debate 2. He got the biggest audience cheers.
Even or slightly ahead, and might have won clearly - except for that prowling tiger, too many cups of coffee thing, undoubtedly a big turn-off for the women viewers. Just sit down Donald. We'll hear plenty more about that on the ABC and in Fairfax.
Donald Trump’s Ghostwriter Tells All
“The Art of the Deal” made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth””and regrets it.
By Jane Mayer
“I put lipstick on a pig,” Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter, says. He feels “deep remorse.”
Last June, as dusk fell outside Tony Schwartz’s sprawling house, on a leafy back road in Riverdale, New York, he pulled out his laptop and caught up with the day’s big news: Donald J. Trump had declared his candidacy for President. As Schwartz watched a video of the speech, he began to feel personally implicated.
Trump, facing a crowd that had gathered in the lobby of Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue, laid out his qualifications, saying, “We need a leader that wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ ” If that was so, Schwartz thought, then he, not Trump, should be running. Schwartz dashed off a tweet: “Many thanks Donald Trump for suggesting I run for President, based on the fact that I wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ ”
Schwartz had ghostwritten Trump’s 1987 breakthrough memoir, earning a joint byline on the cover, half of the book’s five-hundred-thousand-dollar advance, and half of the royalties. The book was a phenomenal success, spending forty-eight weeks on the Times best-seller list, thirteen of them at No. 1. More than a million copies have been bought, generating several million dollars in royalties. The book expanded Trump’s renown far beyond New York City, making him an emblem of the successful tycoon. Edward Kosner, the former editor and publisher of New York, where Schwartz worked as a writer at the time, says, “Tony created Trump. He’s Dr. Frankenstein.”
Does anyone remember The Art of the Deal This was Donald Trumps book of the 80's that stamped him as a clever, driven businessman.
In fact it was ghost written by journalist Tony Schwartz. How he came to pitch andwrite the book, what he discovered about Donald Trump in the process, how he constructed a warmer, wittier man makes a great read.

I actually bought the book - used for $5.95. Yea, I was young and stupid.
I don't remember it painting a very good picture of him though. Sure he brag about stuff, but his first run into NY real estate and business starts with a lie - about how awesome he is. Then there's the trick he pulled on investors by having bulldozers moving dirt around to show investors he's busy building and it's working great... then his pride in saying how the US tax code allow depreciation expenses when he doesn't spend a dime fixing his buildings but still get to deduct that expense and pay no tax.
In all this Trump bashing, I really wish i could be as bad a business man as Trump, even a 1% of his "failed business" would be great for me.How good a businessman is he if he made a $900 million loss ?

We should also use a mirror sometimes:
"his pride in saying how the US tax code allow depreciation expenses when he doesn't spend a dime fixing his buildings but still get to deduct that expense and pay no tax."
Every IP owner can/should used the ATO legal depreciation schedule which is exactly what he states in the above:
It is a shame isn't it but even better in Australia, you can claim depreciation AND claim any repair you would actually do...
How good a businessman is he if he made a $900 million loss ?

John Oliver once again offered a searing critique of Donald Trump on Last Week Tonight – not for his performance during the second, restive presidential debate (he taped the show prior to its live airing), but for the Republican nominee’s vulgar comments about women that threaten to derail his campaign.
“Yes, that is audio of Donald Trump in 2005 telling a giggling Billy Bush that one of the perks of fame is that he can grab women’s genitalia without permission,” Oliver said after playing the 2005 recording of the billionaire business man bragging about attempting to “****” married women. “Since [last week], we have sunk so low we are breaking through the earth’s crust where drowning in boiling magma will come as sweet, sweet relief.”
What the Heck Does the Clinton Foundation Actually DO?
Author David Callahan
The Clinton Foundation is back in the spotlight, with Donald Trump charging this month that the “Russians, the Saudis, the Chinese all gave money to Bill and Hillary and got favorable treatment in return." A range of other critics have piled on, including the Capital Research Center, which calls the foundation a “cauldron of conflict and cronyism.”
There are lots of good reasons for digging into the Clinton Foundation right now. But one question that gets surprisingly little attention is the most basic: What does this place actually do?
Luutzu you have made a number of comments that suggest the Clinton Foundation is somehow corrupt or a sell out to foreign interests ? I'm not sure what information you are using or what exactly you are saying but I thought this analysis from an organisation that analyses philanthropic bodies was useful.

Well Luutzu "The Art of The Deal " was the well spruced up, sanitized version of Donald Trump. If you thought it still smelt what was the real story ?
