same as Clintons Clinton's had business that took money from foreign powers when Bill was president? Yes - Well it was his wife 'Charity' but we all know better: http://www.politifact.com/arizona/statements/2016/jul/11/donald-trump/did-hillary-clinton-take-money-countries-treat-wom/ https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/hillary-clinton-presidential-campaign-charity.html https://theintercept.com/2016/08/25/why-did-the-saudi-regime-and-other-gulf-tyrannies-donate-millions-to-the-clinton-foundation/

same as Clintons Not sure how that excuses anything, since people were clamoring to throw Hillary in jail. yeah but not because of Saudi dollars. I am not saying I agree with lobbying, I am just saying its not anything new or related to Trump

same as Clintons

ehh well, so someone is concerned about 'ethics' of previously business mans advisor paying for lobbing while Hillary already being part of government is getting paid by Saudi is not seen as unethical? oh cmon... You mean that they are concerned of private businesses that current president has with foreign power. whole text is in past tense so I am not sure what d you mean I highlighted ethics concerns mentioned in the article Again, all this stuff happen when he was NOT part of government. Are there any records of that lobbing happening now? You are saying that meeting that has not happened has already happened? See this line "This spring, the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., will host a three-day event co-hosted by a business group." Here even with more detail "What: The 36th Annual Conference on U.S.-Turkey Relations is scheduled for May 21-23." And who is giving money to Trump "Who: The Turkey-U.S. Business Council, known as TAIK, and the American Turkish Council are the sponsors. The former group is chaired by a Turkish-American businessman, Ekim Alptekin, who has ties to the Turkish government." "More about who: Alptekin also is the founder of Inovo BV, a company that paid Flynn's consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, $530,000 for lobbying work that may have benefited the Turkish government." And then there is this "But ethics experts have concerns about special interest groups, lobbyists and foreign governments bringing their business to Trump, who has a dual role as president and innkeeper. These critics point to the U.S. Constitution's Emoluments Clause, which prohibits presidents from accepting benefits from foreign powers." And here you have in more detail what article says about ethics concerns. Still not sure whats that big deal here, its not like lobbying started with Trump and its not like he done anything wrong in this regard either

Before I answer, question: I suppose you mean the debate over wether the Turkish government should be able to propagate their reform here? Well that and those marches of pro Erdogan and Kurds. Also I read that Volker Bouffier actually grown some balls and told Turkey that its enough - it took ages tho My stance is first of all to let them speak. I do not support Erdogan, however, I do see this as an issue of free speech. Governments of other countries need to be able to express their opinions and yes, also members of forgein governments. However, I also expect our politicians to take a clear stance against it. But I don't want to see a limit am free speech or political campaigns merely because it doesn't fit EXACTLY our own opinion Well, laws of country needs to apply only for its own citizens which Turkey government is obviously are not. And frankly I don't see that big of a deal when they have speech there, but rather marching of thousands of 'Germans' waving Turkey flag and carrying photos of almost (so far) dictator Can you imagine how 3 millions of Russians marching through Washington waving Russian flags and pictures of Putin? xD

Hey Ben, how are you enjoying your Turkey enrichment now in Germany?

[citation needed] it was obviously a joke, sad that I have to explain it anyway its quite true that healthcare is in crisis in UK due to being understuffed and lacking money
-
yeah that's sad, I pay 170 dollars a month and got covered everything but average salary of doctor in US is cca 200000 per year, and 30000 where I live so, go figure
-
Fact, you are more likely to die waiting in UK for your affordable healthcare than find christian in Luton xD

The great Trump thread (it's gonna be tremendous)
Chilloutman replied to Ben No.3's topic in Way Off-Topic
not sure where to put it but hats down to /pol guys, I mean it really took some dedication: -
what is not populist? I thought whole concept of democracy is actually populistic
-
fixed that for ya
-
Go Wilders, also he need to gain at least 51% to become prime minister, which will probably never happen. and as a side note - why everything conservative is suddenly populistic while giving away free money on welfare is somehow not viewed as populistic?

pff spiced rum is not a rum

Torment: Tides of Numenera Released
Chilloutman replied to Infinitron's topic in Computer and Console

I dunno, I kinda like Kurds

This is ironically such a Russian response through and through. Whenever someone in Russia exposes government corruption the typical response from pro-Putin camp is, "But in America/Europe/etc. they do this too. You're are targeting us. You're doing this to undermine our country. You're an American agent (just like Wikileaks is being labeled a Russian front) etc, etc..." No my friend its not that but I can understand why you think that is what Im doing My point has nothing to do with Russia or China, they were just examples. My point and issue is with Wikileaks, they claim to want to make governments more accountable and they are interested in " the free flow of information " yet they only and consistently release information about the USA How can this possibly be seen in anyway but a campaign to undermine the USA? So Wikileaks is not objective and who made them the judge and jury or what information the world needs to see about the USA ....and we dont even know what is true and what is not So send them data about Russians or Chinese, I am quite sure they will be happy to leak them as well, they leak what they got...
