  1. Probably because it's not comfortable laying still after you've been shot.

  3. Washington (CNN) - Donald Trump said Thursday that he meant exactly what he said when he called President Barack Obama the "founder of ISIS" and objected when a conservative radio show host tried to clarify the GOP nominee's position. Trump was asked by host Hugh Hewitt about the comments Trump made Wednesday night in Florida, and Hewitt said he understood Trump to mean "that he (Obama) created the vacuum, he lost the peace." Trump objected. "No, I meant he's the founder of ISIS," Trump said. "I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton.". Hewitt pushed back again, saying that Obama is "not sympathetic" to ISIS and "hates" and is "trying to kill them." "I don't care," Trump said, according to a show transcript. "He was the founder. His, the way he got out of Iraq was that that was the founding of ISIS, okay?". http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/11/politics/donald-trump-hugh-hewitt-obama-founder-isis/index.html
  4. He only released two summary pages from 2014, none of the detail pages that show the specifics. By comparison the Clintons released all of their tax returns going back to 1977. Imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed; "What are they hiding?". But we'll never see them now. For Trump to release nothing at this point and not be hounded daily by the media is unprecedented. But with all his daily miscues it's hard to keep up.
  5. Maybe when they're moving things to the new house they'll find their tax returns that they misplaced so we can really see what they earned and invested in.
  6. It would fit your pattern of posting stories that suggest she was involved in evil things like the death of the Democratic staffer.
  7. You and others have taken the cue from Trump, removed the filters of reasonable discourse of facts, and now repost or retweet any conspiracy theory with the names Clinton or Obama in them, no matter how outrageous they are.
  8. Some conspiracy theories are so asinine that they don't deserve a legitimate response. Trump has set a new level of acceptability for some.
  9. You couldn't let it go like you wanted us to, so once again I have to correct the record. What Comey and Clinton said were both true. Comey said she answered the questions truthfully, and in the end they did not find anything illegal. Clinton said she did not send or receive any emails that were classified at the time. Comey said she did have classified information. It was the retroactively classified emails. And three other emails were improperly labelled as classified. Then when she made the "short circuit" comment, it was in regards to not giving the full answer to Chris Wallace I have stated above, so it was misconstrued as her contradicting Comey, when in fact they're both correct in the details. But some like youself don't want to look past the general headlines because the detailed facts don't support your conspiracy theories. But you'll keep trying to deflect from Trump's controversies, and I'll keep correcting you. Unless you take your own advice and move on.
  10. I disagree with your latest "I'm just sayin'" conspiracy theories. Moving on... To be fair, there is a minimum expectation of an acceptance of scientific facts.
  11. I felt the same. I preferred the first two. The "bees" reminded me of the bad version of Galactus in the Fantastic Four movie. Watched Ex Machina and Deadpool over weekend. Both were OK, but Ex felt incomplete, I wanted to know what happened next after the end. Deadpool was a bit too goofy and didn't like breaking the 4th wall. I prefer my superhero movies more serious. I've been watching Daredevil and Jessica Jones on Netflix, and that's the type of "reality" superhero I prefer.
  12. Now you take what the Iranians say as facts instead of propaganda for internal consumption. You must have really been confused by Baghdad Bob. And how exactly does a rented mule get played? I've heard they get beaten, and fiddles get played, but playing a rented mule? If I buy a mule, are they played differently? What about leasing?

  14. I appreciate Jerry's candidness about the Buffalo teams mismanagement over the years. I miss his appearances on WGR. It was a mistake for the paper to take him off for their own webcasts.
  15. Part of the Make America Great Again campaign. Abe Lincoln is polling strong in Illinois, not so much in the South.
  16. This is reassuring: There will be no greater ally for a President Donald Trump in the United States Senate than ex-KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, the Republican Louisiana Senate candidate declared, remarking that the Republican nominee "is not a racist." “I don’t know if he’s with me or not, but I would hope that he and others would realize the same lies they make about him is what they say about me," Duke said. "I’ve always said that I’m equal rights for all people, but I also believe that European Americans shouldn’t be facing discrimination either, and I’m sick and tired of this very vicious anti-white narrative in our national media, in our movies.” Republicans who have spoken out against Trump, Duke added, are "betraying the principles of the Republican Party and certainly conservatism." "These are just nothing more than epithets and vicious attacks. Donald Trump is not a racist. And the truth is, in this country, if you simply defend the heritage of European American people, then you're automatically a racist," Duke said. "There's massive racial discrimination against European Americans, and that's the reality." Inskeep responded, "You know that white people in this country still have the overwhelming preponderance of wealth and power, right?" "Well they don't really have the overwhelming—European American history—no, they don't. I mean, Hollywood is not controlled by traditional European American heritage." Asked whether he was referring to Jews, Duke remarked, "Or they're from the Middle East, that's not European. That's not European. That's Middle Eastern and they have a particular orientation for their positions and their programs." Regardless of Trump's public statements about Duke, the Senate candidate expressed confidence that he would have the support of the GOP nominee's backers in Louisiana. “We’ve done the analysis of what’s going on in Louisiana. We’ve already polled inside the Trump voters, and we know we’re gonna carry 75 to 80 percent of those who are going to vote for Trump,” Duke said. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/david-duke-trump-226710
  17. But we've been told that Trump is the change and Clinton is the status quo.
  18. If the Republicans are going to spin this as a payment for hostages, I wish they would be intellectually honest and speak about when the Iranians released the hostages minutes after Reagan was sworn in as president, and then later received military weapons from the US when an arms embargo was still in place. A clear quid pro quo agreement. But St. Ronald gets a pass. Now Trump is claiming to have seen video of the money transfer, when it fact it was video of the Americans who were released. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/04/questions-abound-as-trump-claims-to-have-watched-video-leaked-by-iran-of-the-money-transfer/?hpid=hp_special-topic-chain_trump-transfer-835am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory This is what George Will has labeled "immunity through profusion". "He seems to understand that if you produce a steady stream of sufficiently stupefying statements, there will be no time to dwell on any one of them, and the net effect on the public will be numbness and ennui." He points out the troubling but overlooked statements Trump made about Russia not being in the Ukraine, when they've been in Crimea and over the eastern border since 2014. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trumps-shallowness-runs-deep/2016/08/03/f7311b20-58d3-11e6-831d-0324760ca856_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-b%3Ahomepage%2Fstory
  19. Some are assuming the Iran payment was done to get the release of the captives. It's just as possible that it's the opposite. The US settled the long-standing dispute and agreed to return Iran's own money. Then the US says to Iran, if you want the money now, you're going to have to release those captives or the money stays. Or it could just be a logistical coincidence between two countries making incremental moves to improve relations. There's no way to prove any of the theories so it can be spun however anyone wants. I'm just sayin'.
