global1's JournalObama Is Being Criticized For Saying The Alternative To The Iran Treaty Is War......
has anyone offered up any other alternative to the treaty that doesn't involve some type of conflict or inception of war.
Will Someone Tell Me When The BLM Movement Started?.....
The first I heard of it was when a week or two ago Sanders and O'Malley where confronted. Since that day - it seemed to pick up some steam and we all saw what happened today. Where did this come from and when did it get started? Is this a national organization? Where is its headquarters? Who are the main spokespeople?
I'm also curious as to what Black Leaders like Rev. Al and Jesse Jackson have to say about this movement? Are they in support of BLM or are they putting out the message to BLM - to let cooler heads prevail and there are more effective ways of getting their message out than disrupting speeches of what really are their allies.
I'm really confused and saddened by all this and am just in the need of some clarification.
I Find It Interesting That The Two Candidates That Are Being Targeted - Sanders By BLM & Trump By...
the Repug powers that be and Fox - are the two candidates that pose the biggest threat to the status quo.
Both Sanders on the Dem side and Trump on the Repug side are causing problems for the DNC and RNC respectively.
They were not in the plan and therefore they need to go and it appears that there is a concerted effort to discredit and knock both of these guys out of the picture.
And I'm not even wearing my tinfoil hat tonight.

What Has Rachel Maddow Had To Say About The Debate Thus Far.....
I refuse to watch MSNBC since they upended their line up - so I know that Rachel gets all excited about things like this debate - so I'm curious as to what she had to say about it and the earlier one.
Were The Junior Varsity Debaters Reading Their Answers To The Debate Questions?....
I happened to catch a little bit of this Junior Varsity debate and it sure looked to me that they all had cheat sheets that they were reading from. Some were better at it than others - but all glanced down at their podiums. By far the worst was Lindsey Graham. He couldn't keep his eyes focused frontwards at the camera. It was almost like he was reading everything he said.
I didn't think that they were allowed to have notes or cheat sheets - but then again this is Fox and it is a Repug debate - so I imagine everything goes.
It was almost like all of them had scripted comments that they had to deliver.
Will Tonight's Debate Air On Network Television Or....
will it only be on the cable news channels? Is CSPAN televising it?
Trump Could Really Screw With The Other Members Of The Klown Kar Tonight If He......
tones himself down and acts presidential. The others will be prepared to attack him and if he pulls a 180 on them they will be befuddled and tripping on themselves. At the end of the debate then - Trump wins - because he will have come off as the sanest of the bunch.
Just a hunch on my part. But it would be interesting if he does take this approach.
Here's How Trump Can Drop Out Of The Primary Race For President And Save Face And Star......
It's My Dream End Of The Trump's Candidacy
I would like to have Trump say:
"I had no intention of ever going the distance to get the Repug nomination for President.
I'm not a politician - I'm a businessman. Why would I want to be President. I make more money than a President anyway and I only jumped in this race to prove how corrupted our system of electing a President is. I'm rich so I don't have to beg for money and sell out my principles and be beholden to billionaire benefactors. Money has corrupted the system. Hell I can buy a President just like the Koch's are doing if I wanted to. Why would I want the headaches of being a President. If I bought him/her I can just tell him/her what I want him/her to do. I'd own them.
And I purposely said outrageous things - because as a showman - I know that this is what gets coverage. These 16 other candidates for the Repug nomination are all vying to say the most ridiculous things in order to get attention. So bottom line what we have is a candidate that says the most outrageous things that has amassed a huge sum of money from billionaires that they are beholden to that gets elected President. It is not the person that really cares about this country. My outrageous statements only spawned even more outrageous statements from the other candidates to out outrageous me. Really people - is this how we should elect a President?
So again - I purposely took this primary to its limits to illustrate just how corrupt we've come in this country to elect someone to lead it.
The media plays right into this scenario - because they are only in it to make money as well. All that money from those rich benefactors - goes to producing and running contrived campaign commercials that are full of half truths and lies and out of context sound bytes in order to manipulate The People into voting for a contrived candidate. So it is in the best interest of the media to have many candidates running - because there is more money to be made running these contrived campaign ads. Actually - the media is making fools of us rich guys - because they are taking us to the cleaners and we are obliging them.
Yes - I've taken this to its most silly place to illustrate those points. Bottom line - what I really want to do is make a statement that money should be taken out of politics. Elections should be publically funded to be fair to all the candidates.
Debates should really be debates - not a collection of sound bytes to be used in future contrived campaign ads. We should really debate the issues and not just grab for attention and pose for a beauty contest.
So people don't criticize me. I'm just being a patriot here and I did this for you - so that we can work together to change this corrupted system. I did a good job didn't I.
And bottom line you know - I would have won the Presidency if I stayed in this to the end. Because I am the Donald."
That is how I'd like to see the Donald go out. If he would do this he would be doing a great service to this country and maybe - just maybe - The People would wake up and see how manipulated we've become.
Note: I posted this inside another thread and one respondent said that it should have an OP of its own.
