    The Trump Card...

    Interesting points, yes, and it drives home the problem of hypocrisy. I think I've mentioned a time or two about the hypocrisy on both sides, and while hypocrisy is just scummy in and of itself, the hypocrisy of the right is far worse. The Democrats present themselves as the party of policies...

    Well, I did say plenty of, and not all of. :rolleyes:

    The Trump Card...

    Probably about the same number of left wing sheeple who fail to see it. I'm sure plenty of others will not only see the humor, but also the strategic and tactical reason for the piece's existence.

    The Trump Card...

    On a not unrelated topic, Trump couldn't get Nancy O'Dell, despite taking her furniture shopping, because she was married. She had just wed Keith Zubulevich in 2005. It is reported as confirmed that Nancy and Keith have separated. So, hey Donald, she's available, almost. Will be soon. Get warmed...

    The Trump Card...

    I included cabinet members, as well as "others in appointed and elected positions" because they are not exempt from the federal conflict of interest laws. My statement my be somewhat confusing (tho no less accurate) because I included Congress in the original statement, and probably shouldn't...

    The Trump Card...

    One thing to keep in mind is, if elected, you (and me and all of us) will get all of that information. It likely won't be in the form of tax returns, but the Ethics in Government Act requires the president (among many others) to fill out financial disclosure forms "which include the sources and...

    The Trump Card...

    Cherry picking? I didn't cherry pick anything. And I don't have a preferred narrative, I simply refuse to create a false premise so that I can reach a desired conclusion. I didn't leave it out. I don't dispute at all the point of origin, nor that it was repeated on another Blog (or several). But...

    The Trump Card...

    Actually, my statement is a very accurate statement. And it's not something that many people are aware of, because it almost defies belief. I agree the notion that the president being exempt from conflict of interest laws seems just nuts, but it really is true. The President, the Vice President...

    The Trump Card...

    Same Snopes link you posted. It tells the tale of how the birther theory first emerged on FreeRepublic, and the fact that the Hillary Clinton supporters picked it up (being the irresistible "good ammo" that is was) and spread it via forwarded e-mails. Can't have a movement without, you know...

    The Trump Card...

    Simple logic can often be fraught with fallacy. You've concluded that because Buffet released his returns under audit that therefore ergo Trump should, too, and because Trump hasn't, his reason for not doing so is fraudulent. So you've created a false premise and then built an argument on top of...

    You Can Eat Gluten Again, America

    Depends on you definition of "excessive." A pound will probably kill you, yeah. But salt might not be nearly as bad as we've been told for pretty much our entire lives, as the research that showed it was bad was a little flawed and conclusions were drawn a little too quickly. Subsequent...

    The Trump Card...

    I'm gonna pick nits. While the idea of calling into question Obama's birthplace may have originated on a message board at the FreeRepublic, and it developed into a full blown conspiracy theory, that's all it was, a conspiracy theory languishing among millions of conspiracy theories. It didn't...

    The Trump Card...

    Yup. Back during the primaries, and early on in the presidential race, Trump got lots and lots of coverage, because it generated ratings. Clinton didn't generate ratings (small rallies, no press conferences, relatively sane, boring). What little coverage Clinton got was from the emails, so it...

    Remember when a Clinton supporter started the whole Birther Movement? Dismissed by the media as not having anything to do with Clinton herself. Look at the lede in the story above... (emphasis mine) "If you were asking yourself, how could Donald Trump and his supporters could make things worse...

    The Trump Card...

    Because the MSN, in lockstep with Hillary's campaign, will go through the returns and pick and choose things they can create fake outrage with. It won't matter that the deductions are legal (we've already seen a bit of that), people will be looking for anything they can crucify him with. It...

    The slathering of the thread (flooding, spamming, etc.) in a blatant attempt to further an agenda? No there's not. And we want to keep it that way.

    As the latest release of hacked emails (by the Russians! Therefore what's contained in them are irrelevant!) reiterate, there's a clear and close relationship between Clinton and the press. Here's an excellent article that lays it all out, the coordination, and it's really ugly. Did anyone...

    The Trump Card...

    Probably? Some sort of? Puleeze. There's no "probably" or "some sort of" about it. I've written about it many times in these forums. It's rank hypocrisy all around. Bush or Reagan does something and gets a pass, Obama does the same-exact-thing and he's the Antichrist. Remember when Obama...

    The Trump Card...

    That's a classic logical fallacy, you know. The piece is about what he wrote, not about who wrote it. You can agree or disagree with the piece, but to do either because of who wrote it is the equivalent of replying to the poster and not the post. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, and that's...
