Sycophantic reporting by the National Enquirer on Trump.

radaronline.com/celebrity-news/donald-trump-taxes-billionaire-finances-exposed/

It's funny. It almost reads as if Trump had written it, except that the sentences have a beginning, a middle and an end.

Among all the "love children" by Bill, not even a mention of a single woman claiming that Trump attacked her.

That is true journalism.

"How about

"Aliens impregnated my Granny's cat and it now wants to run for president"

Is that from the latest Wikileaks dump? I haven't been keeping up.

Thanks for the links, WinchesterWoman, I will look them up. Andrew Napolitano is fantastic, Judge Nap.

WinchesterWoman · 27/10/2016 21:52

Claig interesting that the Clinton camp keeps warning against complacency.

WinchesterWoman · 27/10/2016 21:53

Do you ever look at realclearpolitics

claig · 27/10/2016 21:57

Yes, Clinton's camp are worried. The media is doing everything they can to help her, but Trump is ahead with independents and the Clinton camp fears that many African-Americans won't bother turning out for her which is why they are relying on Michelle Obama to get the vote out.

Yes, I sometimes look at realclearpolitics, particularly for the polls.

WinchesterWoman · 27/10/2016 22:02

The pieces are good, weighty on both sides.

Just read a worrying complaint ongatewaypundit about three members of a household having their trump votes discarded by election officials.

WinchesterWoman · 27/10/2016 22:04

They only found out because they went to check online that their mailed votes had been counted. The site said the votes were rejected..

They only found out because they went to check online that their mailed votes had been counted. The site said the votes were rejected..

you really are the perfect demographic for the National Enquirer.

The vote count happens on election day.

There is no online site where you can go to "see if your mailed votes had been counted".

Not that you will believe that.

WinchesterWoman · 28/10/2016 00:24

It's a screen shot that says 'you submitted a mail ballot. Please select the 'show my mail ballot information' above for detailed information

WinchesterWoman · 28/10/2016 00:28

If you google 'check mail ballot status online' you will find the site

WinchesterWoman · 28/10/2016 00:31

I think each state runs a separate site. Go to sfelections.org for example.

Lweji · 28/10/2016 01:16

So, that shows that Trump voters don't know how to post valid votes?

Just waiting for the conspiracy theories now on Pence's plane.

Roussette · 28/10/2016 07:10

DT has just made a vid of him speaking Hindi.. This smacks of desperation. If he's appealing to American Indians, he seems to have written off the Muslims and Sikhs! He may have an uphill struggle on this one - 7% of indian americans plan to vote for him, as opposed to 67% for HC.

Bitofacow · 28/10/2016 08:36

Anyway on to serious news. My Granny's cat has written an excellent piece for realclearpolitics "Clinton conspires to destroy kitty litter reserve". It contains massive historical inaccuracies and sweeping slanderous statements. Excellent reading.

fourmummy · 28/10/2016 10:58

Which are the non-biased sources?

Lweji · 28/10/2016 11:06

Trump's own words. Grin

More seriously, you can look at actual records, rather than interpretation.

Example: Trump said he groped women, several women have claimed he groped him, some even way before that tape came out, he says it's just talk and the women are just out to get him.

Clinton voted several times for border control, but says in a speech to foreign investors she dreams of open borders.

Remove the names and what would you conclude?

WinchesterWoman · 28/10/2016 12:31

She voted for immigration reform. This involves increasing legal immigration to reduce illegal immigration.

She is in favour of open borders and some amnesty,

WinchesterWoman · 28/10/2016 12:33

Hi four mummy: sources that are meant to be independent are no longer. Even Clinton campaign manager admits this. That the media are on her side.

Lweji · 28/10/2016 12:35

Yes, she wants to legalise illegal immigrants, but while keeping border controls (which she voted for).
She said so herself.
Why would anyone be against it?

It's removing all illegal immigrants that is madness.

Even Trump said it wasn't fair to separate families of law abiding illegal immigrants.

"Obama Has Deported More People Than Any Other President"

Lweji · 28/10/2016 12:48

WW, you do know that some media are on Trump's side. You quote them. :)

Hannity on Fox is shocking.

The rest only need to use Trump's own words. Even comedians have "complained" that they don't need to make the jokes anymore. He is laughable on his own.

And you've seen how Trump manipulated the media to get free air time. He's only complaining now, that it's backfiring.
He is on the news all the time.
He has come up with the shocking statements.
He is the one not making sense while speaking.
He's the one withholding his own tax returns while insisting Clinton shows her emails.
He's the one accusing the opponent's husband of sexual misconduct, while denying his own.

He's been digging his own grave.
No need for media bias against him.

Lweji · 28/10/2016 12:48

"Obama Has Deported More People Than Any Other President"

Yes, and Trump mentioned it.
Was it supposed to be a criticism or praise?

claig · 28/10/2016 12:50

'Was it supposed to be a criticism or praise?'

No, it shows Democrat hypocrisy when they target Trump

claig · 28/10/2016 12:51

'Yes, and Trump mentioned it'

Of course he did, because he is known for telling the truth and exposing hypocrisy. That is how he rolls.
