The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[pete376403]

neutron bomb (not the pointer sisters song) was supposed to kill all the people but leave most of the infrastructure standing IIRC. was banned as unsporting

Nuclear warfare has no winners it is just used to frighten people so that they are easier to manage and control - they (people) are the real weapon!

I see Trump's just fired FBI Director James Comey - who was running the investigation into his Russian connections....

The man is pushing the envelope....Shades of Nixon and Watergate.

Apparently Comey thought it was a joke at first:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news...ectid=11853153

The situation just gets more bizarre every day.

See any parallels in Trump's circus and what this video clip is claiming? - judge for yourself!

Bibi Netanyahu received 20 standing ovations from the USA congress - ever wonder WHY?

Trump's address to AIPAC prior to election was a major suck up to behold! - ever wonder why? Are his current actions similar to the claims in this clip?

That's unkind to Nixon.

Interestingly Comey was fired allegedly on the advice of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, the Attorney General, who supposedly recused himself from the investigation into the Russian connection. It appears to have been done at short notice, the letter was delivered to the FBI by Trump's personal bodyguard which is not business as usual. The bodyguard is not a government employee.

Ivanka Trump's in laws are in China selling $500,000 immigration applications and soliciting Chinese investment in real estate. Some or all of the press were excluded, because the family didn't like the story that would be printed. There was a screen shot from the presentation which apparently stated (in Mandarin) that the chief decision maker in the investment programme was Donald Trump. His photo was prominently displayed.

There are a number of laws being broken but the Republicans control both the House and the Senate so the chances of anything happening are remote. As yet.

Yes, as has been described elsewhere, the Republicans are trying to slow-walk it through the house investigation to gain time. But given the internet and every news organisation in the world is looking at it too, they may well be last to the party. This firing is another delaying tactic.
I like what one commentator said this morning - Nixon is defined by the statement "I am not a crook" - Trump may well be defined with "I am a crook - deal with it" At least Nixon appears to have simply wanted power - this prick is lining his and his families nests as hard as he can.

Interestingly when Trump met with the Russians at the Whitehouse yesterday there were no press or TV allowed. Later there were photos supplied by TASS, the Russian news agency.

I see that it has been asked if it was a good idea to let Russian government cameramen with all their cameras and equipment into the Oval Office?
A fromer Deputy Director of the CIA responded, "No, it was not."

I find it highly amusing that people are still focusing on whether there was any Russian inference in the American election process - while completely ignoring America's repeated covert interference over the last 5 or 6 decades in the governance of countries all around the world.

As I said at the beginning, Trump using his own money
I said it was a good business call, invest up front , and plunder if u get in. Half way through he got other people's money , even better.
Tax rates will drop,. His business interests will suffer from a lack of interference....
All sweet as

You must be using the wrong news sources, there have been many US news items have acknowledged the inherent irony in all of this. Some have included detailed lists of countries where the USA used covert, or even overt military force, to ensure a friendly (to them) political outcome.

Still, if Trump was using Russian funds or influence that does need to be dealt with unless he can shut it down...

First item on the charge sheet will read, "Obstruction of justice". Same as Nixon's did.

Not half as amusing as you constantly going on about corruption, political and military interventions Yet never once ever mentioning Russia.

Claims to answer that old chestnut - cui bono? (Who Benefits?)

Who actually does run America and the world? Was the election actually necessary because apparently nothing has changed!

What a great video.

Probably the most concise summary of today's situation yet presented.

And it's precisely how the investigation of a crime should be conducted.
