    It's like talking to a brick Trump wall. I hope Kat or whoever addresses this.

    I've taken many hits on here for supporting Trump. I can understand that.
    I don't discriminate or have anything against Hillary supporters (or Bernie).
    If people don't like talking about Trump with me then don't.
    But asking a mod for assistance to tune someone out openly? Really? I've said many times before how similar our thoughts are IH80 so I'm not sure where your plea is coming from.
    Instead of making it personal just talk about Trump or adorn him it's not hard to do in a Trump thread.

    I was hoping Chuck Todd would've asked him what he knows, specifically, about the current vetting process because I'm sure he has absolutely no idea. The way he talks, you'd think there is no vetting process what so ever. He's an idiot preying on people's fears.

    Todd let him go on the tax return issue also. There is no reason to not issue tax returns if you are under audit. That's just an outright lie.

    He should hold them for leverage. Let Hillary release her speeches first.

    Nobody is asking to shut you up. Just asking you to stop posting pictures with every post. It's not too much to ask. The fact that you've simply ignored such requests is what makes you a troll.

    Unlike repeated requests to listen about points I have to say about Trump without a troll picture or ventriloque hate read this article http://www.npr.org/2016/07/17/484016283/-politics-has-become-celebrity-driven-how-2016-surprised-political-thinkers

    That fact that radlibs, dems and Hillary apologists won't put up with intolerance is another discussion altogether. I could very well take the other side and be a delightful Hillary supporter and everything would be fine right?

    So you think posting a picture will force people to read the links you're posting? You understand you're making no sense and have no point. Right? You've been asked several times to stop. In ignoring such requests or even coming up with a good reason why you're doing it makes you a troll.

    He doesn't "need" to do anything. He should hold out until there is evidence this issue is hurting him politically. Obama's college records, Hillary's speeches, Trump's tax returns who's to say what is important to the average voter? Hillary can't delete 30,000 government emails and then run on the concept of full disclosure can she? Leverage.

    If you want to demonstrate Trump then make it known!

    The article does not state Trump defends him rather that he is surprised that a man that he considered a friend is accused of this.

    Donald Trump this weekend defended longtime friend Roger Ailes, the ousted chief executive of Fox News who is accused of sexually harassing at least two dozen women. Trump also questioned the motives of some of the women.

    "I can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how much he's helped them, and even recently. And when they write books that are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him. And now, all of a sudden, they're saying these horrible things about him," Trump said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" on Saturday evening. "It's very sad because he's a very good person. I've always found him to be just a very, very good person. And, by the way, a very, very talented person. Look what he's done. So I feel very badly."

    Trump added that "a lot of people are thinking he's going to run my campaign," but he wouldn't say whether those people were correct.

    [The fall of Roger Ailes: He made Fox News his ‘locker room’ — and now women are telling their stories]


    Ailes is a larger-than-life figure in American television history and a force in Republican politics. He abruptly left the network last week after former anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit that sparked a public examination of the way Ailes has treated the women working for him over the years. Carlson’s attorney, Nancy Erika Smith, says 25 women have come forward with allegations about similar experiences that stretch across five decades. Ailes has denied the allegations.

    Trump also defended Ailes in a Friday interview with Bloomberg Politics as he flew home from Cleveland. Trump noted that he is close to Rupert Murdoch, who started Fox News, and that he knows "Rupert has great respect for Roger and everything Roger’s done."

    "I think it’s so sad," Trump said. "He’s such a great guy. Roger is — I mean, what he’s done on television, is in the history of television, he’s gotta be placed in the top three, or four or five. And that includes the founding of the major networks. So, it’s too bad. I’m sure it was friendly."

    The accusations are serious but he's innocent until proven guilty. Either way Roger Ailes isn't guilty of anything worse then what Bill Clinton has done in the past. Trump's bating you into making this attack.

    Did Trump 'cast suspicions' as the article headlines? I seem to be missing that.

    As far as innocent,... it will be interesting if this actually gets litigated. Carlson may not want to settle considering the publicity of the matter. Maybe she'll want that 40MM. I imagine more lawsuits will be forthcoming too. This is definitely just the beginning of the story...

    I think it will totally be settled but his reputation will be damaged either way.

    Oh, and you're right... it could be a trap for the Clinton campaign. It will be interesting to see if they make it an issue if Trump hires Aiiles. Although I don't think Roger is a very endearing figure to the general public. He looks fairly grotesque and doesn't come across very well. I can't imagine he wants to be in the spotlight.

    Do you not find it odd that this opinion should have anything to do with an American election?

    I agree, reading comprehension is key. And when trump says this: "I can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how much he's helped them, and even recently. And when they write books that are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him. And now, all of a sudden, they're saying these horrible things about him,"

    He suggesting that the accusations are false and that they have some other motivation. Hey Trump, it's not 1960.

    Donald Trump's campaign announced via email that the Republican presidential candidate will take part in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" on Wednesday.

    In 2015, Trump prompted Twitter users to send him questions with the hashtag #Ask Trump. The majority of the questions asked while the hashtag was trending were worded to take a shot at Trump and his stances, rather than asked to seek an answer.
    sounds like fun...

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/putins-online-troll-factory-may-be-trying-to-get-trump-elected-to-undermine-the-us/
    The suspected Russian hack of the Democratic National Committee is part of a broader cyber campaign against the U.S. — which may include efforts to elect Donald Trump.

    The FBI is investigating the DNC hack, which resulted in the ouster of party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and raised tensions among Democrats heading into this week’s convention.

    This comes as concerns have been raised about Trump and his campaign’s friendly relationship with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager has suggested that the Republican platform was changed to “make it more pro-Russian.”

    One reporter who has written extensively about Russia’s cyber warfare efforts has warned for months that the former Soviet Union appears to be actively invested in getting Trump elected to weaken the U.S.

    Adrian Chen reported in June 2015 in the New York Times Magazine about Russia’s “troll factory,” where online commenters spread disinformation and pro-Kremlin propaganda on social media and other websites.

    “A very interesting thing happened,” Chen said during a December podcast with Longform. “I created this list of the Russian trolls when I was researching, and I check on it once in a while, still. And a lot of them turned into conservative accounts, like fake conservatives. I don’t know what’s going on, but they’re all tweeting about Donald Trump and stuff.
    weird...this and Manafort's dealings with Russia are a little disturbing

    http://fox59.com/2016/07/25/benghazi-victims-mother-asks-trump-to-stop-talking-about-sons-death/
    WASHINGTON — The mother of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, who died during the 2012 Benghazi attacks, penned a short letter to the editor of The New York Times asking that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and the GOP stop invoking her son’s death.

    “I know for certain that Chris would not have wanted his name or memory used in that connection,” Mary Commanday wrote in the letter, which was published Saturday. “I hope that there will be an immediate and permanent stop to this opportunistic and cynical use by the campaign.”

    The Benghazi attacks were frequently mentioned in speeches at this week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, where speakers used it as a reason presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is unfit for the presidency.

    Clinton was secretary of state at the time of the attacks. Some conservatives blame Clinton and the Obama administration for security failures in Benghazi that they blame for the deaths of Stevens and three other Americans.

    At one point during the convention, another victim’s mother, Pat Smith, spoke before the audience and blamed Clinton for the death of her son, IT expert Sean Smith.
