I fail to see what "Bush Inc" (whatever that is) has anything to do with Trump, All I know about Bush Junior is that he was a piss poor President, a freewheeling Texas cowboy who through his middle east policies eventually brought about the birth of ISIS

Thanks for that.

Best 30 minutes I've spent with a candidate since this madness began.
(and I've spent umpteen hours upon hours upon..........ad nauseum...)

Interesting....it's not that he said anything I've not heard from him before. Bernie is nothing if not utterly consistent.

But the context...or really - the interviewer framing the context made all the difference for me.

Sealed the deal

Swiftboat? Trump? No, he manages to do that all by himself.

As this election has gone on, my opinions have hardened:

On the Republican side we've got a fascist clown and a fundamentalist wingnut. Also, both are very closely aligned to Democrats on all fiscal matters and subscribe to the dead end politics of the zero sum game, scapegoating and jealousy.

On the Democrat side, we've got one slippery candidate who likely should be on trial for treason. The other seems like an honest guy but in any other year would be an unelectable fringe candidate who proudly professes to believe in ideologies that 150 years of death and destruction have roundly disproven.

Meanwhile my taxes keep going up, billions are wasted daily on political cronyism, terrorism is on a rampage world wide, the job market still sucks and the country's infrastructure is approaching third world levels. Seriously, **** this place.

You'd love living in England then. More sensationalist tosh than anyone should be allowed to believe in. But seriously, though, the US elections have elevated the sensationalist bullshit levels to an entirely new class. You might be better off where you are.

Seems to be a reasonable summary, not sure how well it will be received by the Hillary apologists on here.

ISIS Thanks Donald Trump For Making Their Point For Them

Do we need any more proof that Donald is a liar, must be the least pleasant of all the major capitals?

There were bits I liked, but Belgium is in general a bit of a toilet.

Even if he were right, it's not changed since last week. Some major shit happened but the city itself hasn't changed any so it's a ridiculous thing to say. Unless he thinks stuff like this last week should only happen to ugly cities??????
