Just like the media exaggerates with Trump, they also exaggerate and overplay Hillary's unfavorable factor. She had great ratings as Secretary of State, and she'll probably see good ratings again. You'd get the impression from the media that she's the most unpopular person in history, rather than someone who got more votes than anyone else in the primaries, not only Sanders and Cruz, but more than Trump.

I do wish some of the disgruntled liberals (including many of my friends) would realize that with Hillary we have a chance to have a decent (read: non Bible thumping) Supreme Court in this country, but as someone said earlier, they will probably help us get a religious leaning Supreme Court all so that they can feel self righteous.

LIFELONG TEXAS REPUBLICAN QUITS PARTY OVER TRUMP: ‘NO REDEMPTION IN BEING ONE OF THE GOOD NAZIS’

trump-1.jpg

A prominent lifelong member of the Republican party in Texas is quitting the party because of Donald Trump’s nomination, saying there’s “no redemption in being one of the good Nazis.”

Chris Ladd, a friend of former Texas Governor Rick Perry and a member of the York Township Republican Committeemen’s Organization. has resigned from the party. In a scathing blog post directed at fellow Republicans, Ladd called Trump “an indictment of our character” adding that the party “has lost its legitimacy.” Read the post below:

“Almost thirty years ago as a teenager in Texas, I attended my first county Republican convention. As a college student I met a young Rick Perry, fresh from his conversion to the GOP, as he was launching his first campaign for statewide office. Through Associated Republicans of Texas I contributed and volunteered for business-friendly Republican state and local candidates.”

“Despite the bold rhetoric, we all know Trump will lose. Why throw away a great personal investment over one bad nominee? Trump is not merely a poor candidate, but an indictment of our character. Preserving a party is not a morally defensible goal if that party has lost its legitimacy.”

“Fast-forward to our present leadership and the nature of our dilemma is clear. I watched Paul Ryan speak at Donald Trump’s convention the way a young child watches his father march off to prison. Thousands of Republican figures that loathe Donald Trump, understand the danger he represents, and privately hope he loses, are publicly declaring their support for him. In Illinois our local and state GOP organizations, faced with a choice, have decided on complicity.”

“Evasion and cowardice has prevailed over conscience. We are now, and shall indefinitely remain, the Party of Donald Trump. I will not contribute my name, my work, or my character to an utterly indefensible cause. No sensible adult demands moral purity from a political party, but conscience is meaningless without constraints.”

“A party willing to lend its collective capital to Donald Trump has entered a compromise beyond any credible threshold of legitimacy. There is no redemption in being one of the ‘good Nazis,’”

The DNC didn't force 3 million more people to vote for Hillary over Bernie. Don't even. He ran a failed campaign. He became a Democrat just last last year in order to run for president, to take resources from the DNC. He admitted this. His campaign hacked the DNC database and stole Clinton's donor list. He stayed in for months even though he had lost. The DNC is always going to favor real Democrats, not ones who are just there to drain funds for power. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is tragic, but Bernie blew it on his own and pissed off as many people as he could with his antics by May 2016.

Wikileaks (Julian Assange) is working with the Russian government. This leak was no accident. Assange is hellbent on getting Trump into office. It's what Putin wants.

Of course hacking is illegal, which is why Assange is in another country right now. He was actually hiding out due to rape allegations. I used to like him before I saw his true colors years ago. You can't be all pro-democracy and Putin and the Russian government's spy/ass-kisser at the same time.

Hardcore Bernie supporters right now still protesting at the Convention aren't doing themselves any favors of dispelling the myth that millenials are nothing but self absorbed cry babies that can't accept losing, and they result to stomping and complaining when they do because everything should be naturally handed to them.

THE MAN LOST! By MILLIONS OF VOTES!!!! Yet they somehow demand the dem nomination be stripped from Hillary? Get the hell out of here. They had their chance. I was a Bernie supporter from the start, BUT HE LOST! The revolution did not come! In fact it turned out to be kind of a dud in terms of voter turn out. Its like most of these people showed up to the rallies, but couldn't be half assed to take the time to actually go out and vote.

I will say the same thing if Trump wins. I am not going to scream and cry foul and demand Hillary still be appointed President instead. We would have lost! Lost our mind as a country, but we would have lost! Better luck next time.

Dems add first transgender speaker to convention lineup

2016-07-14-gn-clinton_hillary-kaine_tim-

The national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign Foundation will speak at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this week, marking the first time an openly transgender person will address a major party's convention.

Hillary Clinton won’t be the only woman to make history this Thursday. When Sarah McBride takes the stage, she will become the first transgender person to speak at a national Democratic or Republican convention,” Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin said in a statement on Sunday.

“Sarah’s inclusion in Thursday’s program is a significant milestone for our community, and it sends a strong message that transgender people and their voices matter."

Sarah McBride was invited to speak at the convention by the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus. She will speak after Caucus Co-Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney, a New York congressman.

McBride said she was "honored" to have the chance to share her story.

“People must understand that even as we face daily harassment, tragic violence, and an onslaught of anti-LGBTQ political attacks across the country, we are real people merely seeking to be treated with the dignity and respect every person deserves," she said in a statement.

"I'm so proud to stand with the LGBT Caucus and speak out in support of Hillary Clinton, because we know she stands with us.”

Griffin, who will also speak at the convention, said the event will show a clear contrast between the Democratic and Republican tickets.

"I'm also honored to address a national convention where LGBTQ advocates will play such an integral and historic role," he said.

"Next week’s Democratic National Convention will underscore the stark contrast between Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine’s vision for a more equal America, and [Republican presidential nominee] Donald Trump and Mike Pence’s agenda of hate and division.”

The Human Rights Campaign endorsed Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in January.

Trump Threatens To Pull The U.S. Out Of The World Trade Organization

Add it to the list.
5794c6852a00002e004f6352.jpeg

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would consider pulling the United States out of the World Trade Organization should he end up winning the election.

The comments, made to NBC’s “Meet the Press,” are the latest in a series of Trump threats to pull the U.S. away from international institutions and compacts. Trump’s disgust for trade deals is well-known. And in the midst of his convention in Cleveland, he reiterated to The New York Times that he would not come to the aid of NATO allies if they hadn’t fully paid their dues to the organization.

Trump’s distaste for the WTO appears to be based on his view that it’s helped create a trade imbalance for the United States ― though he doesn’t explicitly say that; he merely calls the organization “a disaster.”

Trump said that he would like to levy a tax of somewhere between 15 and 35 percent on the products of U.S. companies that move their production jobs overseas. When “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd told him that some of those hikes “aren’t going to get through” the WTO, the Republican nominee responded in kind.

“Then we’re going to renegotiate or we’re going to pull out,” he said. “These trade deals are a disaster, Chuck. You know, the World Trade Organization is a disaster.”

Julian Assange :rotfl: tweeting out anti Semitic remarks yesterday and then deleting them in a panic after the fallout. Then threatening reporters :lmao: guess that's what happens when the world is so "transparent" that they sniff out all your bizarre motivations within seconds. Assange isn't the only one who has gotten smarter. The Internet will always unravel the people who think they're more powerful than it.

He's doing a piss poor job of hiding his stripes. i'll say that.

Oh and Trump's campaign links to Putin are causing quite the uproar too. What once looked like a funny joke is turning into a pretty interesting little story. i'll say that. I can hear Pud's boner all the way here in Orlando.

The ouster of DWS is good news for the Bernie Brigade and unity in general. She used to be my congresswoman. Started out so promising. Then started asking the DNC to pay for her clothes and did some shady dealings with those payday loan companies. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

My point is, shouldn't the press not report with stolen information so brazenly? They sit on their commentator sets all high and mighty, droning on about bullying, then turn around and shamelessly benefit with stolen property.

Plus I hate hackers. When you have to resort to that it's cuz you lost the debate.

:lmao::lmao:

I truly hope more outspoken people help change the minds of many Americans.

My sister used to nanny for a young boy and his younger sister. She would bring them over a lot and they were like my adopted nephew and niece before I actually had a niece. :lol:

Anyway the boy was always into dolls and princesses and wanted to dress up as a princess for Halloween, and would wear his moms jewelry. We all knew something was going on obviously.

Well she sent me a picture yesterday since she hadn't heard from them in awhile and Alex who is now 6 insists on going by Allie, and she was in a dress, and is actually a member of the Girl Scouts. But the thing that really warmed my heart was that in the pic Allie is with her younger sister and father with a big smile on his face. Allie is one of the lucky ones to have been born into a family that is totally accepting.

Freedom of the press. There's nothing you can do about it. It's out there. Should they not report what's going on in the world? I'm not sure about the legalities tho - republishing, or even quoting stolen material.

It certainly said a lot that Assange was pissed off by the Panama Papers leaks when they fit right into his ostensible raison d'être.

Why are so many posters here being such losers? They sound like children being 'rebellious' by showing support for Donald Trump. :rolleyes:

He was talking about me.

He stands for nothing. He doesn't even vote.

Just an endless cycle of thinking it over so he can never have the finger pointed at him for being wrong.

Voice a contentious position and you're dismissed as a rebel.

Very sad.
