The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

Cheers I see you are deluded enough to think you are a doctor now.
I will add that to your other list of tragic delusions.

Yokel thinks hes

A doctor
Not a total idiot

You realise all you're doing is proving that you're unable to think for yourself.

One candidate wants to have a useful relationship with Russia, the other wants to smash Russia.

You don't have to be a rocket surgeon to work out whitch one is most likely going to be your WW3 candidate.

But oh Trump is a 'white man' and their for is evil.

Its quite clear who the racist bigots are.

Will that be before or after the great 2014 market crash?

You might want to look outside your ivory tower

An actual moment of some truth and honesty from Hillary. http://youtu.be/nz5QlnPuyNM

All those poor millinals that foolishly thought they were part of a revolution.

Expect a very low turn out by these millinals on election day, just like Hillary rallies.

That's ironic coming from a guy who normally responds to comments on the 'net by posting other people's Youtube clips.
And I don't mean "ironic" in the Alanis Morisette sense. Whatever that is.

[husaberg]

Well, we can't always get what we want.

But if you try sometimes, well you just might find, You get what you need.

You realise all you're doing is proving that you're unable to think for yourself.

I think you are a blithering idiot, incapable of establishing a logical thought pattern, to be fair though. I sincerely doubt anyone rational, which has read your posts, could reach any other conclusion.

True, but i would rather the foot and mouth incidents, didn't include an unlimited access to thermonuclear weapons.

Do you think they will simply give him the codes/keys and let him have free unsupervised access to the nukes to do as he pleases?

Not initially, no...But I can see some "you're fired" moments coming to the top ranks of the US military if he does get in.

He hasn't exactly been complimentary about the military and there's probably more than a few in there unhappy at the prospect of the Donald anywhere near weapons.

You may not like Hilary but at least she has experience as to just how far you can push without starting WW3.

WW3 is a far more likely prospect with Clinton at the helm.

It sounds like we might be confusing the USA with North Korea. The reality is that the US President is the figure head of an enormous administration. Yes, some slight tinkering can happen, but without majority agreement, the President has very little power. As most of his own party won't be supporting him, he'll be a lame duck from Day 1. It took Obama a few years to become a lame duck, but Trump might break the all time record.

Watching power hungry Trump, in charge, with very little power at all, would be very entertaining. I guess he could go to far and get JFKed out of the pciture

I think it's a pretty even 50/50 split tbh.

but as I said, at least Trump will give us a few laughs before it all goes to shit.

The Dems are certainly heading in that general direction.

Russia is preventing USA from getting on with their war of terror against Assad and the Syrian people (and eventually Iran) so they tell the world it's Russia's fault!

Yes I’m afraid that’s pretty much how it works. He of course, has to get secretary of state’s approval first, which is i understand a formality, as they can't refuse his request anyway. ( it’s a chain of command thing)
So given his prpensity to over react and lose control of what he says. A nuclear attack if say someone insults his toupee, is possible in under 15 minutes.
He has shown no ability to control what he says, even within his own campaign, he clearly doesn’t listen to his own advisors now, so seriously what do you think more power will do to his already out of control ego.
I do realise the alternative canditate is unpalatable to a lot of Americans. But seriously hes a looney tune.

"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can't we use them," Scarborough said on his "Morning Joe" program.
Scarborough made the Trump comments 52 seconds into an interview with former Director of Central Intelligence and ex-National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden.

Scarborough then asked a hypothetical question to Hayden about how quickly nuclear weapons could be deployed if a president were to give approval.
"It's scenario dependent, but the system is designed for speed and decisiveness. It's not designed to debate the decision," Hayden said.

The revelation came amid a discussion with Hayden, a former director of both the CIA and the NSA, about checks on the president's power to launch a nuclear strike.
Scarborough asked Hayden, who confirmed during the program that he's not voting for Trump, what safeguards there are to stop 'any president who may not be stable' from launching a nuclear act.'

Hayden explained that the Constitution puts 'great power' in the hands of the president and commander-in-chief.
Scarborough pressed him to say where or not there is, however, anyone or anything standing in between 'a president who is unfit to be commander in chief and the final person that presses the code and launches the nuclear weapons against a country that has angered the commander in chief.'

Odd that you have no issue with this?
An international investigation into the downed Malaysia Airlines flight 17 has concluded that the plane was struck by a Russian-made missile.

Russia vetoes MH17 resolution Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on setting up an MH17 international criminal tribunal to prosecute those responsible for downing a Malaysia Airlines plane over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014 that killed all 298 people on board.

The Russian side has kept the radar data for more than two years

odd thing to do really if you have nothing to hide............


but it gets better

Asked by an UNIAN reporter, why the Russian generals said two years ago that they had seen a Ukrainian Su-25 on their radar screens close to MH17, and now, referring to the same radar data, they say that any airborne side objects that could cause the destruction of the aircraft were not observed in the area of a disaster, Peskov said that he could not answer this question.

Old brother Nathaniel always has a different take on things - just saw this at the end of another posted clip.
