Oct 20th 2 am UK time.

Last chance for the Establishment to stop the Trump surge in the polls.
World leaders will be watching, Establishments will be tuning in on the edge of their seats in trepidation.

People will be laughing, diving into the popcorn and knocking back the alcohol.

Round 3. Rock'n'roll.

It's straightforward. Just Google: reddit the donald. It should be a top result. Reddit is easy enough to browse. Just like a giant basic forum so to speak

claig · 16/10/2016 19:38

OK, I'll give it a shot. I've heard it can be quite funny, good humour etc, is that right?

Thanks, it looks like a lot of breaking links etc that the mainstream media doesn't cover.

There are crazies on there I'll say that much. But then there's crazies on both sides. There are some semi-decent posts at times that raise valid points

claig · 16/10/2016 19:44

Thanks. There are some crazies on the Guardian payroll, so I doubt reddit the Donald can beat that. Wink

Trump is not a "politician", he is a doer, a businessman

A businessman is keen to find a solution to a problem; they think differently and act decisively based on experience. People who operate in any sphere of business develop a real sixth sense. You either shut down a business or you negotiate a smaller profit margin for yourself, but at least the factory and staff get to keep their jobs AND that b-man will be more determined that next time negotiations will go his way.

What is at stake is far more than misogyny and bad jokes. That can be dealt with in time; this is about the continuing enrichment of certain politicians via favours and knobbling. Hilllary comes across to me as a reductionist, i.e. grab as much $ as you can, because what the hell ... there's always going to be corruption and as I am well-placed to get some of this money, why not?

Don't know where to put this - did you see it's now legal in Sweden to fly the flag of ISIS?

Southallgirl

Does Trump strike you as any different?

Assuming that money is what Hillary is about. Because the donations to the foundation don't go to her. Are employed in actual charity.
Unlike Trump's that are often used to pay back to his own companies.
If there's anything to accuse her of in that respect, it would be regarding the speech fees, not the Foundation.

WinchesterWoman · 16/10/2016 21:03

It's because it symbolises hatred and enmity towards everyone, not just a particular group. That takes tolerance for the intolerant just a leeetle too far.

WinchesterWoman · 16/10/2016 21:04

Ok I don't know this so shoot me down. Does some of that money get spent on Clinton campaigning.

fourmummy · 16/10/2016 21:25

This is from the earlier article:

According to a review of IRS documents by The Federalist, between 2009-12 the Clinton Foundation raised over $500 million in total. A mere 15% of that went towards programmatic grants. The other $425 million went to travel expenses, employee salaries and benefits, and “other expenses.” In 2013, the Clinton Foundation allocated only 6% of its revenues to direct charitable aid.

WinchesterWoman · 16/10/2016 21:31

I was just looking at that. They say it's because they don't pass money through the foundation in grants. They do the work themselves. So if they did want to misappropriate it, that would be easier because of the way it's set up. But I think that evidence would be harder to find.

Showmeagain · 16/10/2016 21:37

And the source of said article? Is there explaination that the trump foundation made NO donations to 9/11 etc etc

Guessing your sources are not Wapo etc. Trump has not been endorsed by any major newspaper. That includes all big notable state papers. In fact they have all stated he is not fit to lead

Fgs there are media outlets in the red republicans south that have endorsed Clinton. The first time in some for 80 plus years they have even blinked at a dem

But you must be right about the trump. Right. Nope. Even Utah has turned against him. Check out Ewan.

ZuleikaDobson · 16/10/2016 21:40

Southall, it's curious that you assume that businessmen are automatically competent - the bankruptcy courts are full of people who demonstrate that that is not the case. Trump himself is a classic example, and in his case the employees didn't all get to keep their jobs, investors lost their money, and creditors were left unpaid to the tune of millions of pounds. Do you really want someone with that track record in charge of the economy?

Showmeagain · 16/10/2016 21:42

But tis ok as you look for tupution rubbish on ter interweb. You will find what ever truth you look for. Is like the holy grail of crap

Showmeagain · 16/10/2016 21:44

Reddit as a source LMFAO

WinchesterWoman · 16/10/2016 21:44

Clinton called for more businesspeople to run. She said they couldn't be bought.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 16/10/2016 21:46

I am fairly positive that clinton meant competent businessmen

WinchesterWoman · 16/10/2016 21:47

Given that for three threads it's been said by claig and others that the establishment mainstream media are neglecting their journalistic remit in favour of Clinton with a very high bias - has it really just occurred to you that the source won't be Wapo?

claig · 16/10/2016 21:47

'Reddit as a source LMFAO'

I have heard there is some humour on there. I never realised it was ROFL stuff.

Name one paper based newspaper that is supporting the orange one

It is a very unusual year that not ONE has endorsed him. For many very republican media who have endorsed Hillary it's like the daily fail supporting Corbyn.

Riddle me that
