You have to admit, though, that it does make perfect sense that the Putinistas would be doing everything they can to get the manifestly unprepared, intellectually and temperamentally unfit bad joke of a candidate who has publicly expressed doubts about NATO into the White House. This is absolutely a valid point and one that we should all be concerned about The justification and motives for why Russia would want a Trump presidency should be obvious. Trump weakens the West and its institutions. He doesn't destroy them, he weakens and undermines them and thats good enough for Russia Russia has been hacking the USA and they want Trump to win, this point should be unequivocal. Anyone who denies this is being myopic or has an agenda Just the fact Russia wants a Trump victory should be another reason we should be opposed to him

Gorth got laid off? Shady did. As for moving back, let's just say I missed the climate and the geckos No that answer is lacking in accurate information, Gorth please dont break your record by being laconic or nebulous with your views What do you mean by weather ? The UK only has good weather in summer...you knew that ? But why not go back to Denmark,,,,where do your friends live? In Oz I assume...so do you consider Oz your home ? You should know by now that I'm almost physically incapable of lying... not even the little white lies. Truth is indeed that i missed the pleasant climate here in the sub tropics. Denmark is even worse than the UK, being cold and miserable 11 months most years. As for "home" and friends... being an old introvert I never had a large social circle, a few good friends, several of which I've had for 2-3 decades are not deterred by a bit of geographical distance. Besides the weather, I just felt claustrophobic in Europe. Whether in Germany or the UK, it was like it didn't matter where you went, if felt like there were hordes of people everywhere and endless queues of cars, even on the smallest of country roads. I just needed to get back to a place where I can get away from people when I feel like it, open empty areas without any people nearby just an hour or two away. does gorth like rabbit? gd likely has more recipes for rabbit than does Gromnir. personal, am planning to end up in idaho on a ranch/christmas tree farm 100 miles from nowhere. HA! Good Fun! Idaho, that sounds nice What would be your typical Native American Xmas dinner? Turkey i imagine

You have made a typo I assume ? You wrote " I had a new sliding glass door installed yesterday " didn't you mean to say " I installed a new glass door " ....Gfted1 you know we never let anyone do DIY. We always do it ourselves, it defines our manhood and I would be shocked if you had compromised your manhood in this way? Think about what people on the forum would think?

volo I have never heard of a man being called sexist towards men? I have extensive experience around this form of bigotry and that would be a first Also you keep seem to be missing the point that as these numerous flaws are revealed in Trump and he keeps hurting his image there is less and less chance he will be president, this is a good thing volo. You should be happy ?

Your ability to make a good post is always better than me guessing Okay that reason makes perfect sense, you require wide spaces to function properly and feel normal, this is not uncommon. Its strange how I am the opposite, i get bored and a little anxious if I am out the city for more than 2 weeks or so Also this confirms what I suspected last time, you are very good at your job. Yes ERP systems are complex and can take time to learn but I imagine once you have your experience you can work in any country in the world as there should always be SAP, JD Edwards or Baan (not sure which you do as you didnt mention it ) For those confused by my post basically Gorth is an ERP consultant and he is very fortunate as he move much less effortlessly as he can generally always find work....am I right or am I missing something, be honest if I have this whole thing wrong

are you referring to us ?

Man, lucky you've never worked for a large corporation It's easier to put up with when you're being paid to do it! So you'd be okay with it if the government introduced guaranteed basic income? Good point Alum, GD the ball is in your court

First, they are not charges, they are recorded fact. Second and more important, his supposed policies regarding immigration and foreign policy are stupid and naive at best. At worst his proposed policies are racist and dangerous to America and the world at large. Build a wall and deport all Muslims come to mind. And there's the massively low bar. Trump did something my 9 year old learned to do 2 years ago. So impressive. I used the same words " low bar ".....its uncanny but we seem to have similar thoughts on what is considered offensive. That's unusual for me

Yeah, I suppose. His surrogates said the same thing but it just shows what a low bar we have set for Trump because finally after all his refusals to apologize and his constant sexist comments he .....finally decides to apologize for these insulting comments/. Here is a another apology he made, the latest one ...not sure what one you watch http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/07/politics/donald-trump-women-vulgar/index.html

Obviously I am supporting the USA, but Clinton as a president ,....its always the USA but Zora supports Russia who is actively undermining your country. You should be much more concerned with Russia than Clinton ? http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-statement-audio-bill-clinton-women-2016-10 No I dont accept his apology and most women aren't either

Im not convinced, its not always clear with you. You always seem to dispute his sexism ....but thats fine at least now you can see its undeniable After this bombshell I am expecting more members to recognize his sexism. As they said on CNN we all have wives, sisters, daughters, mothers or maybe girlfriends....it should be uncompromising our criticism Personally I don't think any less of Trump after hearing his unguarded comments than I did before. If I had zero regard for him before I certainly can't have less now. Of course, nothing he said makes Hillary Clinton any more desirable as a President. And vice versa. Which really is the problem this year isn't it? No, you guys really have to stop comparing him to Clinton. Its a poor analogy, please dont let me get Enoch involved again as you know how he makes compelling and unwanted comments you cannot ignore. GD I'm watching you He has no moral fibre and is an embarrassment . Even Republicans are leaving him..I have to say Chaffetz makes a lot of sense. He seems like a nice guy and speaks fondly of his family. I like him But to say they are same .....its disingenuous and lacks validity? lets see what others think https://truthkings.com/congressmen-jason-chaffetz-pulls-trump-endorsement/# I didn't say they were the same. I didn't compare the two. What do scorpions and the zika virus have in common? Nothing except you don't want either of them around. GD please respond to this as this is real and relevant to the US now I have mentioned several times on this forum that Russia is surreptitiously targeting the USA in different ways like hacking the DNC. This was ignored or dismissed by most of you guys but I assumed it was because Hilary was the target You remember how Zora made his usual " hand waving " ....oh yes now Russia is being blamed. Its interesting how he has become more discreet about his absolute support for Russia but is quite prepared to say something like " its not possible Russia is behind this " . So always remember if I ever leave these forums " Zora has an agenda, he is anti-USA " And guess what, proof that Russia was indeed behind the attacks, does this not concern you ? http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/10/russia-conducted-wiki-hack-says-u-s-intelligence.html?mid=full-rss-di&mid=full-rss-di https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/784477443205767168/photo/1 "

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/07/politics/donald-trump-women-vulgar/index.html Trump has once again insulted women, I told you guys how he is blatant sexist and this confirms it....I doubt he will recover from this. This is the worst thing he has ever said Im looking forward to volos defense of this

mmm.....you have raised another point unintentionally. I would have to have a degree of moderation on forums to reduce this type of criticism and recalcitrance....it spreads like contagion Of course this moderation would not be draconian but you guys have to learn to take responsibility for what we say Gee imagine that GD, a world where we just become aware words matter but the end result is peace and prosperity Or maybe I should stick to software sales ?

This is a hypothetical USA where we can control laws, so its just fantasy but yes that would be one outcome for a certain type of person Its a mess at the moment in a social sense the USA, there are many unnecessary conflicts and increased reticence . There are populist movements, exaggerated support from all minorities for a certain candidate, false dichotomies around racial tension, unfair targeting of the authorities, constant media blaming and your country is being hacked by Russian supported cyber-terrorism. There was blatant contempt towards the USA about the Aleppo peace deal by Russia and yet the only thing that seems to concern you guys is defending Assange because he attacks Hilary....yet Assange is part of constant attempts to undermine the USA and he is aligned with Snowden who conveniently ended up in .......Russia People like yourself get framed in an unfair way and the GOP has been hijacked by an embarrassment to white people. Of course this will eventually settle but in what direction ? Most people on this forum have acknowledged times seem to be grim but no one has analyzed and given theories on the social changes and events that have contributed directly towards this So yes in my world I would make things more stable, you should be thanking me Imagine no more unreasonable worry and angst ?

Gorth got laid off?

What you saying isnt normal, its more abhorrent behavior that needs to be addressed

Yes, but what does "bad" mean to you? You'd probably enjoy living in a totalitarian system. Edit: Probably Hilzilla's term would look something like this: https://fee.org/articles/how-roman-central-planners-destroyed-their-economy/ But hey, they lasted for 1000 years! Edit2: Then there's this: http://nypost.com/2016/10/06/fbi-agents-are-ready-to-revolt-over-the-cozy-clinton-probe/ Yeay for gangster government! Its a good question, I didnt think you would ask for clarification Okay lets be transparent, what would you say would be considered bad under HIlary I wouldn't want to live under a totalitarian state but I have several improvements and ways I would improve the general social status in the USA. In my USA things would be very similar to the way they are now but I would expect people to be patriotic and actually care about the USA I am not interested in people living in the USA who think people like Assange and Snowden are heroes or think Russia is a great nation who we should emulate .....so I would try to reschool people and failing that they would be deported with all there resources. But I wouldn't imprison people or kill them for there views. Its just they can go live somewhere else

Guys dont worry about the polls, rather use an objective source of information like me You must at least prepare yourself for a Hilary victory, if the Hilary presidency is as bad as you guys think I wont EVER comment on US politics on this forum again I have prepared myself for a Trump victory.....its not ideal but its not the end of the world

For heavens sake NO. As Pidesco mentioned, that's just the probability of either of them winning. The actual vote spread (according to 538) is more like 48.5% v. 43.3%. The gap started widening on Sept 26 and hasn't narrowed since them. Clinton has flipped Ohio, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina and Nevada back into her column. Trump stands no chance of winning if that holds unless turnout numbers for the Dems go into the toilet. it just needs to end now so we can go back to the normal reality in the USA There will be a new and much more palatable GOP candidate after Trump...you know I just realized something I never thought I would need to admit, I miss the old GOP institutions and the guys who Trump side stepped. I would take any of them now over Trump even Carson? My advice to all our Republican friends is dont stress about this election, its okay to not vote....you still make a statement. Or just do what GD and others did and vote 3rd party ? Hahaha What? Dont you realize people can be conflicted ...remember, and no offense to you guys in the EU, but most people in the USA actually like the USA

Holy Smoke is Clinton that far ahead, 78% vs 22 % ?

Interesting post, see the quotes below. I would say this is true based on certain events and views people have ? "Nevertheless, the results they present are eye-popping. On a wide range of issues, bureaucrats believe that Americans are ignorant. For instance, over half of them say that the public knows little to nothing about government crime programs, child care programs or environmental programs. Predictably, the bureaucrats also think that the government should not take what the public says too seriously. Mostly, they believe that officials like them should use their best judgment instead of following public opinion. A lot of this elitism is probably justifiable. When only 36 percent of adults can name the three branches of government, you wouldn’t want to hand over control of FDA to, say, your next-door neighbor. In the sample of bureaucrats that Bachner and Ginsberg looked at, the majority had master’s degrees or more. It should be a comfort knowing that there exists a specialized class of people who have dedicated their lives to understanding the intricacies of, say, tax credits for the poor or the diplomatic intrigues of the Caucasus. Bachner and Ginsberg don’t dispute that many voters are ignorant. In their view, however, D.C. insiders are needlessly disdainful of the regular Americans they are supposed to be helping and that this breeds distrust on both sides. Perhaps that’s one reason, they say, that American faith in government is at a 50-year low.
