KP dont get bogged down by all these pseudo-social and political movements that redefine there names, its a form of aberrant political nomenclature ....most people have never heard of " Paleocons ", "sociocons " or all these other modern and ultimately redundant movements that use "cons " in there description The world is not as bad as you think, the global financial sector has learnt important lessons since 2008, the West still offers people the best quality of life and real happiness....and NO....Trump won win the election. After last night he could have almost inconceivably somehow changed public perception ...but he didnt and he is done Can we dance a little

There, fixed it for ya. QFT I just wish I did find Trumps controversial comments entertaining, I just find much of what he says as concerning

Yeah because dismissing a legitimate election result within an established Democratic system should only concern " moral busybodies " Time to face facts my captious friend....Trump is going to lose the election

https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-makes-history-declining-022705054.html Trump is still saying he may not accept the final November 2016 presidential results .....its an appalling and disgraceful attitude to have and again this is an attack of one of the most important foundations of what the US stands for, the principle and legitimacy of the Democratic process To quote him from the debate "Moderator Chris Wallace asked Donald Trump directly if he would accept the results, owing to Trump’s recent rhetoric the election is rigged. Wallace noted Trump’s running mate Mike Pence, and his daughter Ivanka, both said they absolutely would accept the results of this election. “I will look at it at the time,” Trump said. “What I have seen is so bad. First of all, the media is so dishonest and corrupt and the pile-on is amazing.” The media, he said, has “poisoned the mind of voters.”

I find the actual analysis of the debate more interesting and insightful than the actual debates According to the latest CNN/ORC poll numbers Hilary won 52 % to 39 % http://edition.cnn.com/election Yes I know people like LK and some Trump supporters dismiss the poll results " who can trusts polls " ....or " the media controls the polls, I get my information from Reddit..its unbiased " But for most of this these types of numbers matter....this final debate should signal victory for Hilary in the US elections

I would rather work in a committee, have like minded people who share a common vision of a prosperous and happy society

When cheering for those in power, is it the only time when it you feel like you are part of something larger than you? Making history? Finding meaning or purpose? Just curious. I support a certain ideology like we all do. And what an ideology it is! Suppression of free speech and independent thought. Confiscation of private property. Mandatory gender-reassignment surgery for male misogynists! That will show them! And if it doesn't at least the earnest SJW's dating prospects will have improved! I kid of course! In all seriousness though Bruce you are railing against bad acts in a race where there is nothing but bad actors. You just have to learn to say f--k it. You make me laugh sometimes

I think I will watch the final debate live tonight, its 3 am SA time I do think it will be worth it

When cheering for those in power, is it the only time when it you feel like you are part of something larger than you? Making history? Finding meaning or purpose? Just curious. I support a certain ideology like we all do. Assange is a parasite and a very divisive personality who has a personal grudge against the West and particularly the USA Of course I feel like Im part of something greater when someone like Assange is unable to continue his cyber attacks on the USA, one less source of propaganda to worry about And the current administration doesn't do cyber attacks and indulge in propaganda? What is the difference? Define " indulge in propaganda ", you need to be specific and give examples ? You mean something that you can just enter in wikipedia so you can discern on what propaganda you find acceptable? Not going that route, sonny. Again, if that's the only reason for cheering for those in power, then "why?" if they are doing the very same thing as you claim Assange to do. All countries use a degree of propaganda but Assange isn't a country, he isn't a president ....he isn't much actually Assange quite simply represents a group of people that are opposed to the West and of course the USA and they seek to undermine the West whenever opportunity presents itself. HIs usage of propaganda surely cant be seen the same as when a country uses it ?

This is a very good post Pidesco, I hope everyone reads its as it disputes the whole false narrative " the US election is rigged " by Trump

Did you miss the DNC rigging the primary and the video of the DNC staffer talking about busing groups around to vote in multiple polling stations? I'm not saying that its assured that the election will be rigged, but its hardly beyond belief. The DNC has done so much shady crap this election you can't really dismiss anything. There will always be a degree of voting fraud in almost every Democratic election across the world ...the USA is no different to other countries in this regard. But its not the same thing as saying " the US election is rigged " Trump is saying the entire electoral system is rigged

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ecuador-cuts-julian-assanges-internet-access-wikileaks-002425066.html So its confirmed, Ecuador has indeed cut Assanges Internet access, this will drive him insane with boredom and it serves him right I wonder how long he will will last now before surrendering to the UK authorities?

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/15/politics/donald-trump-rigged-election-hillary-clinton/index.html Guys Trump has gone too far ....again. He has now started questioning the legitimacy of the entire US election...he is saying there is systemic vote rigging This is unprecedented surely, a candidate attacking one of the core foundations of what the US stands for even before the election results are out ? Does this not concern anyone in the US?

No you right, your assessment is correct. WOD wont vote for Clinton....what will WOD do? Not vote in this case?

That's very big of you, WoD. I know we have a lot of disagreements on policies, but I admire that you are sticking to certain principals regardless of party lines. I concur with Hurlshot on this one Its interesting if you consider WOD position. For the last 12 months I have often posted " bombshells " around Trumps comments and controversial views. I use to assume in the beginning some of the articles I posted would immediately cause people to not support Trump As time went on I found people like WOD disputing some accusations or basically ignoring my concern which is not unexpected in a political debate because most of us become selective in our criticism of our own candidate I then just assumed WOD would vote Trump and nothing would change that. These latest sex assult accusations I never even bothered posting because I assumed any Trump supporter would see this as propaganda ...yet this is what seems to have had the greatest impact on WOD view....and I never thought it would matter

volo I always forget how much you care about Iraq Muslims, its something I really admire about you...your consistency and sincerity on these types of events

Second episode was equally terrifying

Is this real? Its impressive

/?http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/13/middleeast/iraq-inside-mosul-paton-walsh/index.html Finally, various forces are about to attack and reclaim Mosul from ISIS This is long overdue but this is the beginning of the end of ISIS as far as its caliphate is concerned Once Mosul is taken then the focus is on Raqqa. I wonder how brutal and deadly this Mosul campaign will be?

It is unusual I agree and her sister who is my friend is called Enolicia ....also unusual?

Ok, but it doesn't mean we should torpedo the guy. Yes, as you guys know I have a keen sense when someone is sexiist or some kind of bigot But I was wrong to be so harsh to him. What he said isnt that bad

@ Zora Gromnir is right, Russia had $400 billion of foreign reserve and they have been using it to survive and pay bills but my prediction is this will be depleted end of 2017 But there real issue is Putin failed to diversify the Russian economy. And now its too late as who would seriously invest in Russia now ? So unless the oil price gets back to $100 I see no hope for them to address the economic recession they in

Consider this then: Syrian war has empowered Russia. That Afghanistan-like quagmire never materialized and their intervention is seen as a big success. Atrocities might shock diplomats but average voter will find it convenient to disbelieve them. US giving up on Syria could at least limit Putin's gains. Yes, you see this is a good point. Russia gets involved in Syria and this entangles them and costs them resources This would be a good outcome, Putin can experience how dysfunctional the ME is and how it just drains your country The West at least acknowledges these types of mistakes. You must know this Sometimes it has to be seen as collateral damage and yes its a tragedy Russia is denying killing civilians and has shown no remorse.
