There was one chart that was erroneously extended by the graphic artists and had been changed in later releases. The data presented in that graph and the conclusions it draws doesn't change because of the error. Of all of those interviewed for the documentary, only one complained that he felt the objective of the piece was misrepresented. His complaint was investigated, and while his complaint of misrepresentation as held up, the cuts of him they used where considered accurate and placed in the proper context in the documentary. The former was more than likely a mistake made just to get the job done, and latter is clearly a matter of buyer's remorse. The guy complained after he got feedback from peers. Of course something like that will fall under scrutiny and of course you're going to get people on the other side of the argument saying it's garbage. Do you really expect something like that just to fly by without attracting attention? Donald Trump was just a goofy businessman with a flair for the media before now. Now he's the devil incarnate and is being attacked relentlessly. This is how it works - when there is a real threat to the status quo the person or thing is instantly turned into the worst thing ever. That reality alone ought to make anyone with a brain pause a moment to consider why that crap happens.

I had a whole bunch of headlines written to try and compel y'all to take the 1 hour and 16 minutes to watch this video I stumbled across recently. Stuff like: "Environmentalists are Killing Africans" "Well Intentioned Do-Gooders Miss the Obvious Manipulation of Political Fanatics" "Self Described Intelligent People Get Smacked Down" ...but, whatever. This 1:15:56 is completely worth your time if you have any interest in understanding a significant segment of modern day socio/political discourse. It should also serve to inform you on just how much you are being beguiled in general. If you have already seen this, and still happily and fully support the environmentalist movement, you are some form of evil in my opinion.

The problem isn't K-9 so much, because any truly objective observer of this thread can see he is an ideological bully, it's everyone else who A) doesn't say anything B) piles on C) doesn't even recognize how much of a bully he is.

In context, the full quote is referring the hack that already occurred. "If it is Russia -- which it’s probably not, nobody knows who it is -- but if it is Russia, it's really bad for a different reason. Because it shows how little respect they have for our country, when they would hack into a major party, and get everything. But it would be interesting to see -- I will tell you this. Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing." Is he not being tongue-n-cheek? Nevermind, don't bother writing an answer, I already know what all of your answers will be. This is like "binders full of women", really nothing there, but Trump's opposition leveraging the gullibility and ignorance of its audience.

I'm sorry, what is the exact quote where Trump encourages this? Would you provide it, please? Thanks.

Evander Kane arrested on misdemeanor charge for June nightclub incident

His trade value was shot before yesterday. His reformation is the only way to recover it, and it's obvious he needs to be compelled to reform. -

The keys are the unusual cuffing with a news photog present and the trespassing charge that heretofore wasn't. -

Because the police, prosecutors, and judges don't always believe civil punishments are the right punishments. What do you think community service is? Why is it so difficult to believe? We are an enlightened society, and the crimes are low rent. They know he'll walk away from this incident-why not take advantage of it. -

Dude loves to see himself in the media, but, they gamble, not like this. Seeing himself on TSN in cuffs needs to scare him into making life changes. Not saying it will work, but all signs point to the effort. I don't think I need to outline how a change in behaviour benefits the Sabrez. -

So, my wife and I had a conversation about this. I am convinced this smacks of the city cooperating with the Sabres in a last ditch effort to scare/reform Kane. The Sabres are the only ones who benefit from today's activities. -
Pffft. You just don't want to give up the point. CNN, March 3: "David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK," Trump added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now." I can't account for editorializing by the press. I expect you're smart enough to read through that. If not, I will adjust my responses to you appropriately.

Yes. All Republicans are cartoon characters. They are exactly like the caricatures you see on the Huffington Post.

Oh yes, the object of your parading is better than mine. So, you can parade around someone who presents a negative image, and, of course it should stick. Me, I parade an everyday dude who, I think, presents a positive image, and it's game playing and dismissible. Please, keep trying to turn it around.

I'm not sure where you get your information from... Klan leader claims KKK has given $20K to Clinton campaign ...you actually have to read the article to get the point. Trump denounces David Duke, KKK So, every time someone makes a play like that at Trump, he has to stop and disavow it, or you're not happy?
-
I see that, to you, it's relevant that a single white guy should give people pause when considering Trump, but the single black guy in that video is a fool and should be dismissed. I see how you work.

I'm not convinced the recession is over. Growth is at or under 2% depending on where you get the number from. I don't buy that number, because wages have remained stagnant for 16 years. The housing market only just started to pick up this year, but the volume is less than half of what it was. Manufacturing's value to the GDP is 3.5% lower than 2000 and is on the downward trend. When I see stuff like this: Sorry, But The Real Unemployment Rate Is 9.8%, Not 5% ...I'm convinced we're not dealing with wholly accurate numbers regarding the economy. Again, if there were growth, then wages would grow with it, or, at least, employment would drop more than it has. So, for 9 trillion dollars, I expect to see a lot more action. I can't even begin to guess where it went, well, not without coming off as a tinfoil hat whacko righty.

Well, I'll have to dig up my dissertation on the topic because the details escape me, too many martinis since then, but suffice to say I would start with the premise that printing money is bad and go from there. You're welcome to re-litigate the economy from 2000-2016, but I have no interest in doing that. My position is that the Obama administration had 7.5 years to do something about it, but instead doubled the national debt and we have jack to show for it.

I wouldn't agree that's the only way you approach a situation like that.

Uh. Darn. I was found out.

They said during the PR that the charge was added by, I believe, a male party. -
Where are those numbers wrong? In other news.... PREACH IT, BROTHER! The KKK leader who says he backs Hillary Clinton

That's what they said. A convenient excuse to do so, IMHO. They could have cuffed him inside, at the very least.
