The smartest thing Donald Trump could do right now is take all the venom he aims at everyone in his path, and finally target the left with it.

No, Trump is a Liberal! Remember? :lol:

Oh that will happen. Like I've said before, he's a Republican version of Chuck Schumer - he can and will get down in the gutter and roll around with whomever is in his way. That's how Schumer beat Al D'amato. He will dish it out to Hillary and the media alike.

Yup. He's just trying to eliminate the competition from the right first.

I love how the Sanders campaign saving some data on voters is a crime against humanity while maintaining an insecure server with national defense secrets in an effort to avoid public scrutiny is no big deal.

Donald Trump told NBC’s Today Show on Monday that he will demand an apology from Hillary Clinton, after the Democratic candidate suggested he was inadvertently helping Isis recruit fighters. Clinton said over the weekend that videos of Trump spouting anti-Muslim rhetoric were likely being used by Isis. Trump said there was no proof that such tapes were being distributedShare on Pinterest

 

 

"She lies about Emails. She lies about Whitewater. She lies about everything."

Habitual Liar Lies Habitually
by Kevin D Williamson
The proposition that Hillary Rodham Clinton is a committed liar hardly need be litigated in the fact-check columns. It is as plain as her surname. It is practically syllogistic: All Clintons are liars, Herself is a Clinton, ergo . . .
The specific lie here is Herself’s claim that Donald Trump’s boobish pronouncements are used in ISIS recruiting videos. This isn’t true. Even Trump, a habitual liar who wouldn’t know the truth if it were printed in gigantic gilt letters across a second-rate hotel tower in Las Vegas, knows that this isn’t true. So: Habitual liar lies habitually about habitual liar, who demands apology. Not the most edifying spectacle in American public life, but what the hell do you expect from an encounter between these two great hemorrhoids on the body politic?
Here’s the thing, though: You can’t tell lies.
Even about a lying cretin like Donald Trump.
Never mind the question of personal character: Judging a Clinton–Trump conflict on character grounds is like judging the Iran–Iraq war on human-rights grounds — one wants both sides to lose. Never mind what this says about Herself’s fitness for the presidency: We all know that she is morally, ethically, and intellectually unfit for the job. She’s unfit to manage a Walmart in Muleshoe, Texas. She’s unfit to have a route delivering the Buck County Courier Times. From cattle futures to bimbo eruptions to Internet auteurs inspiring terror attacks in Benghazi, anybody who is paying any attention understands that Herself’s relationship with the truth is a lot like her relationship with the Big Creep: all politics, a marriage of convenience.
This isn’t about Herself. This is about democracy.
{snip}
If we want to have authentic democracy, then we have to insist that people in public life be truthful about the events and personalities of the real world. We have to tell the truth about the people who are running for president. We also have to tell the truth about bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Omar Abdel-Rahman, Timothy McVeigh, O. J. Simpson — and even Donald Trump.
Of course Mrs. Clinton owes Trump an apology. She owes the rest of the country an apology, too.

Actually, Hillary's probably telling the truth in this case. Muslim extremists aren't mindless savages; they do pay attention to this ****, and do portray it back to the Muslim world as evidence supporting their contention that the US is anti-Islam and actively trying to suppress the Muslim community. You might argue that they'd be taking Trump's statements out-of-context...and yeah, they would be, and putting them in their context.

 

Bin Laden did it. And ISIS is far more sophisticated in this regard. They would be complete idiots to not be using Trump's statements for recruitment.

Here's what she said:

 

ISIS is "going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists."

 

What politifact concluded:

 

We were unable to find any evidence to support this. The Clinton campaign did not provide any evidence that this is already happening -- only that it could be happening, or that it may in the future. If ISIS was using Trump for recruitment videos, we would expect a frenzy of media coverage over it. We rate this claim False.

And Politifact is most likely wrong. Hell, their entire judgement is based on "Well, there's no media coverage of it." But there's no media coverage of most of the **** ISIS does. There was no media coverage of all the Western footage (Bush's "We're on a crusade;" Clinton's asshattery surrounding DPW) that al Qaeda used for recruiting, either. Reality is a lot more expansive than the very limited information you get from "media coverage."

 

Of course, your reality is so warped, you'd believe the sky was green if a Russian youtube video told you so.
