WikiLeaks - The Podesta Emails

Asante is not the issue and never was.

The source of his info is the only issue.

Not political....it is a matter of national security this time.

I suppose you do understand that the current Wikileaks being used by Trump in his campaigning was a hack if the DNC, not Clinton.

Listen I am the polar opposite of a Clinton supporter, but you folks who totally ignore the corruption and absolute lies on the right, and ignore issues and simply lay everything on going after Clinton personally better get your facts straight on this.

How about some time a Trump supporter come on here and discuss his economic plans and taxes. Those are open for discussion, but then you would hear about the total and complete disavowing of those plans by virtually every economist in the country.

Or, you could discuss his foreign affair plans which indicate a plan to simply shut down our allies, dissolve our pacts (unless they pay) etc and of course the total and complete lack of support for those.

Or, you could discuss his plans for destroying ISIS and terrorism. Oops..he has none of those.

Or, you could discuss the trade throughout the world where he wants to renegotiate...of course before you start understand he alone cannot do that and his proposals will send prices and inflation through the roof.

Or, you could discuss how he brings the nation together, except for those he has insulted personally. Or work with congress who he single handily is handing to Dem control.

Or his immigration plans, where he falsely blames all the problems on immigrants.

Or you could discuss how he pays our debt which his proposals would simply send into orbit.

Lots of stuff, but keep in mind he will be busy in court...has that rape of a 13 year old coming up...those Trump U suits coming up and of course his suits against the 11(thus far) women claiming physical abuse.

Or, as it appears from reading on here, the ONLY issue he has is hate for Clinton..

Lots of choices...check Breitbart and see what Steve wants discussed but he ONLY discusses birth certicates and the like

Rockyrd 10-23-2016 03:00 PM

Or...and not sure how to couch this....Trump has blamed everyone he can for anything bad...even our current fight in Iraq against ISIS he says was inspired to protect Clinton....and SNL is also, as he says is in on the rigging thing.

Maybe a thread either to determine the last time he ever made an error or who is left he hasn't blamed everything on.

I think when posters demand going after Trump for whatever and completely ignoring Clinton's position or lack of one is some what degrading/ignoring of real perspectives. As well as tainting credibility.

Top Economist Reveals THIS About Donald Trump's Plan, People Deserve to Know

OK....let me begin by saying linking me to ANGRYPATRIOTMOVEMENT.COM sort of tells me a lot and validates my point made a few times about the use of extremist websites, but anyway......I did read it because I have enough respect for anyone to listen to their point of view.

He is first linked to your site from BRIETBART...which speaks volumes and speaks of Obamacare and continues the carping on Clinton continuing Obama policies. It does NOT detail or discuss any specific policies proposed by either candidate. Thus, I am not sure what you got from it but ...

So.....I choose a few economist sites that I KNOW are conservative.

The first comes from FISCAL TIMES...certainly conservative. They begin the linked article by citing two folks who like the plan a little, not a lot but a little and they offer their grade based on many "maybes" then they go on...

"As it turns out, the effects of Trump’s trade policies are expected to do most of the heavy lifting, adding an estimated $1.74 trillion in additional tax revenue to the US Treasury over the space of 10 years.

The problem is that when economists and international trade experts not affiliated with the Trump campaign started reading it, they were not impressed. “Nonsense,” an economist from the Tax Foundation called it. Another from the CATO Institute tweeted out the hashtag #WeAreAllDoomed. A conservative Canadian financial columnist warned a colleague not even to try reading it, saying, “you will poke your eyes out with hot spikes.”

Commentators took special exception to Navarro’s and Ross’s discussion of the nature of the country’s Gross Domestic Product and its relationship with the trade deficit.


They make this comment on his constant harping on trade....

"While Trump might have the authority to pull the US out of the WTO, he could not unilaterally change the country’s existing tariff laws. However, said Lincicome, US withdrawal “would permit every other trading partner in the world to unilaterally block US exports, unilaterally infringe on US intellectual property.”

You can read it yourself but its headline says it all...

"Conservative Economists Mock Trump Campaign’s Trade Proposals"

Conservative Economists Mock Trump Campaign’s Trade Proposals | The Fiscal Times

Then on to the Wall St Journal...conservative for sure

"A new analysis concludes Donald Trump’s economic proposals, taken at face value, could produce a prolonged recession and heavy job losses that would fall hardest on low- and middle-income workers."

That is how it starts and downhill from there....

U.S. Economy Would Be ‘Diminished’ Under Trump’s Economic Plan, New Analysis Says - Real Time Economics - WSJ

The ECONOMIST....

"Donald Trump’s sums do not add up"

What plan?: Donald Trump’s sums do not add up | The Economist

THUS please do not try and ridicule me on what I read. I read a lot and every day. Trumps plans do change almost daily so you need to stay up on them.

He is speaking in nothing but platitudes to you and his followers.

I choke, as a W Penna guy when I hear how he will save the coal mines and bring back steel production. And none of you question him how in the world he can possible even get close to making something like that happen...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I, in fact do those comparisons....a few for you...

"WASHINGTON — The stark choice that Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump pose for voters goes as well for their revised tax plans: Mr. Trump would simplify the tax code but cut taxes mainly for the rich and add trillions of dollars to the federal debt, while Mrs. Clinton would do the opposite, an independent analysis released Tuesday concluded.

The review by the Tax Policy Center, a joint research arm of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, is the first to examine the plans since Mr. Trump significantly rewrote his proposal after criticisms of its costs and inequities and Mrs. Clinton on Monday proposed to double the existing tax break for parents with young children.

“They really couldn’t be more different,” Len Burman, director of the center and a professor at Syracuse University, said in a conference call with reporters.


http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/12/us...nton.html?_r=0

FORTUNE MAGAZINE did this comparison and said...

"Donald Trump's Tax Plan Could Cost the U.S. 11 Million Jobs"

So this might get you started. Both do in depth comparison of what they propose

I do not ignore. I read and have read.

I have posted on both of them and each time simply get snarky anever really discuss the actual issue.

Believe me, I have done my due diligence on both, and think Trump is insane and agree with his ghost writer...

"If Trump is elected President, he warned, “the millions of people who voted for him and believe that he represents their interests will learn what anyone who deals closely with him already knows—that he couldn’t care less about them.” ♦

When this whole story started, I really gave this guy the benefit. I did not like him but that is certainly not a prevrequisite.

I watched in horror as he waltzed through the primary season, using his great talent with the media, and taking advantage of what he was doing but using the media (same one he now wants to shut down).

I read everything I could about him...I read all about his business, his associations and without details, although anyone who wants to discuss I will be glad to supply detailed links.

Suffice to say you are correct, he has very few friends.

He is simply stated a punk liar. This episode in history has me more alarmed than any I recal.

If a person with ZERO values or principles, who does not even understand the country and how it has worked for over 200 years can become a candidate by yelling platitudes at angry scared people, what that means is terrifying.

He now has Steve Bannin the master of conspiracy theories and partial distorted facts supplying him the hate language.

This is truely a scary scary man, and I do in fact feel sorry for his followers. He is concerned, and always has been ONLY with Donald Trump.

Just read here. NOBODY is FOR Trump. They are anti Clinton, and he is feeding such tripe and impossible things, I truely worry what the future holds because of him.

If he wins, our country is toast.

If he loses, millions will be left abandoned by him and more angry and frustrated than before. Whatever chance of this country pulling together is gone.

You can blame Obama all you want, as I have, but we now have a "pied piper" for hate, unfettered labeling of all of us and empathy for nobody.

Rockyrd 10-23-2016 07:45 PM

He is so good at the con.

NOTHING IS his fault.

Everything not favorable to HIM is rigged

Everything favorable is because of HIM (not limited recently to our fight with ISIS)

Anything or anyone is labeled. You are a race designation, a heritage label, stupid or whatever HE decides.

He has during this campaign mocked disabled, a POW BECAUSE he was captured, a gold star family, and so many others.

He has cut off the press and tries to intimidate them with threats and then USES his followers to attack them.

He never makes a mistake. Called to his attention makes you a liar.

His "plans" are absurd and mocked by those who understand.

His followers are buying what he tells them about what he can do, and THEY are the nes who will suffer.

Rockyrd 10-23-2016 07:56 PM

Part of his game.....

This news broke at approx 7:14 PM



Iraqi forces have raised the national flag over a church in a town near Mosul retaken from the Islamic State group.

IS militants had sprayed graffiti on the walls of the church, and the floors were littered with dirt and garbage. The extremists had also marked several homes along the main road of Bartella with the first Arabic letter in a derogatory word for Christians, their way of marking Christian property. Under IS rule, Christians are forced to convert to Islam or pay a special tax.

Iraqi special forces pushed into the traditionally Christian town of Bartella, around 15 kilometers (nine miles) from Mosul, on Thursday. The assault is part of a wide-scale offensive to retake Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, which fell to IS in 2014.

Iraqi soldiers rang the church bell in Bartella on Friday and congratulated Christians.

Lt. Gen. Talib Shaghati said "Bartella was liberated yesterday, and today we are inside its church. I bring the good news to our Christian brothers that the church is liberated."


The Latest: Iraqis Raise Flag Over Church in Town Near Mosul - ABC News

Trump tweet at 7:40 PM


"The attack on Mosul is turning out to be a total disaster. We gave them months of notice. U.S. is looking so dumb. VOTE TRUMP and WIN AGAIN!"

Rockyrd 10-24-2016 09:15 AM

Just wondering if any of the Trump supporters are ready to discuss the Trump financial proposals ?

As you like to say...he is a great business man and will get the coal mining back....the steel workers back to work, etc.

I am trying to discuss issues instead of simply character assassination (although so much on Trump)...I think the issues are the most important.

We have the comparison of proposals and such here and if you wish we can talk about any other issue facing our country.

Rockyrd 10-24-2016 09:36 AM

Is this an issue we can talk about or must we endure the extremist links and little cute cartoons...

"Donald Trump on Sunday evening made a bold accusation: That the effort to retake Mosul from the Islamic State is actually an effort to influence the 2016 election -- to help Hillary Clinton.

Trump said something similar at Wednesday night's debate in Las Vegas, though it was overshadowed:

Over at WorldViews, Ishaan Tharoor dissected the practical problems with this argument -- including the fact that the Mosul offensive has been in the works for more than a year, long before Clinton won the Democratic nomination. And then there's the fact that Trump is making an audacious argument about the use of military force for cynical, political purposes while offering no evidence to back it up.

I simply commented that your accusation, or support of one, accusing our country of fighting terrorists simply to aid one candidacy was alarming.

I also simply asked what website you use for news because it is, or was front page on Breitbart. If I offended you I am sorry, but was startled that any thinking American could support that accusation.

In the morning, I start out with ABC, NBC, CW and CBS. After all that, I usually go to FOX for a while, sometimes Headline News and sometimes CNN. On the Internet, I get mostly liberal news feeds. By email, I get Newsmax, Rasmussen, the other Villages source that they censured on here, Guns and Ammo, Cheaper than Dirt, Conservative Daily and the Independent Journal Review. I get a lot of other junk email that also keeps me up to date with a lot of political garbage. Probably, a hundred times more than liberals bother to consider, because it is obvious that their level of being informed is not overly generous.

A little side note: When I was in Baghdad, I usually streamed live CNN so I could watch outside Sadaam's palace as we got shelled almost daily. That was back in 2003. It was nice having a different perspective on our situation. Sorry, I digressed.

Not offended at all. Political discussions get heated. I take that for granted and do not take it personal.

Believe me when I say that I do not put anything past a politician, including pushing war if it helps the furtherance of their party. I have been around the gov, military and intelligence communities enough to know that some devious stuff goes on. I am sure you have heard of how those above do body counts. And I am sure you have heard how the pentagon pads their White House briefings. It really does go on, and I have seen it. So, I would not put it past a convenient military push to make this administration look better to the gov. After all, Hillary and Obama were involved in illegal arms sales that eventually went to ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood. And that was against the UN arms sales ban.

Only thing I can say is WOW....You actually believe this stuff and how we coerced all these countries to join us in planning fighting terrorism a year ago, before we even knew candidates to insure votes and then have one make that charge about his OWN country with absolutely no credence given.

Then in the same remarks tell the world how we are losing less than one hour after our allies were announcing taking back villages and freeing christians.

Just the type of character we need in the WH.

Whose side is he on ??

Rockyrd 10-24-2016 03:53 PM

well they endorsed him strongly, ISIS did so no surprise


"Donald Trump, who’s never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like, suggested in Wednesday night’s presidential debate that the US-backed Iraqi military offensive to take back the city of Mosul from ISIS, which officially launched on Monday, was strategically timed by President Barack Obama to help Hillary Clinton win the presidential election.

"The only reason they did it is because she's running for office of president and they want to look tough," Trump said. "They want to look good. He violated the red line in the sand, and he made so many mistakes. He made all mistakes. That's why we have the great migration, but she wanted to look good for the election."

ISIS apparently agrees with Trump — or at least agrees that this a useful conspiracy theory to promote. Charlie Winter, a senior researcher at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence reports that the groups claims in a new editorial in its weekly Arabic-language newspaper, Naba, that the Mosul operation was “prompted by ‘necessities of presidential election in US’ and ‘economic problems’ faced by [the governments in] Baghdad/Erbil [the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan].”

Indeed, even the slightest suggestion that the US might be trying to call the shots on when to launch operations has caused major friction between the Americans and Iraqis. As my colleague Yochi Dreazen and I have previously written, an unnamed officer from US Central Command, which oversees the war against ISIS, told reporters back in February 2015 that the offensive to retake Mosul would begin that April or May and include up to 25,000 Iraqi and Kurdish security forces.

When Iraqi officials found out, they were livid. Iraqi Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi said at the time that Baghdad, not Washington, would decide when the assault began. "A military official should not reveal the timing of the offensive," Obeidi said.

How does a newspaper like The NY Times in reporting facts be unfait.

It's funny that the complaints about the HE media we hear each day, NOBODY contests mis reporting of facts that evervsaw IN THE PRINT MEDIA.

Cable news has a bias for sure because THEY DO NOT REPORT NEWS PER SE. Certain show may, but the are not set up to report in the traditional sense. If you go to a cable channel for your NEWS, you will not find it.

Your comment on Fox caused me to spit my coffee out. That shows that you are clueless about news, and simply like how Hannity etc lead you, but news...no way.

During this election cycle, I would have to agree that they are near center.

The NEWS portion is fairly neutral.

The commentary has shown about half or more against Trump, which suggests either middle or left. A couple of commentators such as Hannity are pro-Trump. Eric Bolling is more Anti-Hillary than pro-Trump. Generally, the commentary staff leans conservative. Add up all the differences, it makes FOX middle to middle right.

But, their NEWs comes mostly from the AP so it's not right or left.

Its A Reality And Painful Either Way
 
Overall our political system is corrupt. Journalist are in name only lacking integrity, honesty and frankly good investigative skills. They do not report the news they create it and they have allowed their biases to cloud their judgment. This is akin to the Supreme Court. All of this is a failing and it has created chaos lack of civility and sound judgment. And I am also disenchanted by both parties

So what is a voter suppose to do. In my view separate as best you can fact from fiction. For instance it is common knowledge among professionals that a person needing emergency room care is more likely to tell the entire story/truth. It is also likely that the same reported behaviors said about someone by different people over an extended period of time is also likely . The Wikileaks reports seem very likely because you have people communicating with one another under the impression that they are communicating privately...but they are not. Its like the people who gossip sotto voce behind cubicles believing the walls of the cubicle shield their voices . Both examples point to truth telling.

then we usually assign value to what is being reported/said about someone.

In my view given a comparison between presidential candidates Trump is the better choice of two bad picks. Trump will indeed shake Washington up and the corrupt Establishment needs to be outed. Its going to be a bit painful but America cannot continue with the status quo because American voters/taxpayers are being ignored and taken for granted . I would have preferred a Romney run again but this is how voters chose in the primary

Its clear a Hillary presidency will continue to internationalize and socialize this nation meaning we will end up looking like the European Union with its open borders extremely high taxes weak military populist Supreme Court that will marginalize our Constitution . The progressive agenda is very damaging and costly Obama Administration has given us a good preview and nowhere by any measure did he succeed. Hillary is as corruptas Dilma Rousleff, ex-president of Brazil. So to present to the world such a corrupt president is immoral and telling the world America's best days are behind them

Overall our political system is corrupt. Journalist are in name only lacking integrity, honesty and frankly good investigative skills. They do not report the news they create it and they have allowed their biases to cloud their judgment. This is akin to the Supreme Court. All of this is a failing and it has created chaos lack of civility and sound judgment. And I am also disenchanted by both parties

So what is a voter suppose to do. In my view separate as best you can fact from fiction. For instance it is common knowledge among professionals that a person needing emergency room care is more likely to tell the entire story/truth. It is also likely that the same reported behaviors said about someone by different people over an extended period of time is also likely . The Wikileaks reports seem very likely because you have people communicating with one another under the impression that they are communicating privately...but they are not.

The judgement you pass is interesting.

Wonder what he conversation might be if there was a hack of Trumps communication. Would you not love to hear Steve Bannon, etal come up with theories, excuses for not giving taxes and such.

I, for my ne, would love to know if the multitude of lies and mistruths were made up in Trump Towers or are they actually that stupid.

You are right...a Trump presidency would be something. Listening to our President call any and every ally names and insulting openly our foes. Remember the day when a hot mic picking up our President saying something negative about another country. Hell, now we can hear various name calling publicly.

Interesting, or embarrassing and frightful.

Internally, listening to members of congress tell the WH that they can't do that...how long before our President says...constitution, what damn constitution

And that corrupt and rigged media will have their credentials pulled as they try to report what is happening., especially when the stories about who and why Wikileaks actually occurred.

Clinton is corrupt, no doubt. But as I envision a Trump Presidency, I shudder. Hell, when I think oh him losing, I see serious problems.

So proud to be an American.

Those of you who say we are a third world country pegged it.

We are a country of bigotry, hate, and in your premise one with no allies and a ton of enemies.

The wikileaks reveal crimes and corruption much greater than Watergate.


Now please close your eyes and truly imagine, if these found emails reveal so much...

- what are in the emails not found or bleachbit?

- some of the wiki emails ended in a recommendation to continue the discussion in a phone call, imagine what corruption took place in the phone calls?

- imagine the crimes planned with a whisper?

- imagine the corruption and crimes started with a wink and a nod...!

Wikileaks said he's going to release something very close to the election.

Wherein Clinton won't have time to defend it.

The plot thickens,

polls (if you can believe them) are getting tighter.

For the past two weeks the emails show the corruption was staggering, can't understand why anyone ant an even more corrupt WH :pray:

For now ObamaCare is giving Trump a lot leverage and he's using it.
