Doesn't that sort of nonsense belong in the fb post thread?

Yes, you're right. That's where I actually saw it.

Still don't get the hatred Hillary inspires from some in the right. At the end of the day, if she's elected she's hardly gonna upset the applecart.

30 years of smears used to motivate the base has had an effect.

Some of the stuff he says has been either misreported or reported in a totally biased way (for example he is a threat to national security because he jokes about Russia hacking DNC emails - but Hillary isn't despite mishandling confidential information).

I haven't heard anyone say he is a threat to national security because he "joked" about Russia hacking Hillary's emails.  I've heard many people say he threatens national security because he blabs the contents of classified presidential nominee briefings at rallies, he considers NATO treaty obligations optional, and he favors the first use of nuclear weapons.

The criticism of his "joke" was that he was undermining American democracy.

Where does that pic of Hillary flipping out come from?  I've seen it a few times now but not sure of its origin.

That gif of Hillary and balloons made me like her a lot :wub:

And nothing on his Twitter either besides some generic "thank you"s. Did they reset him or something?

To be fair, many people considered inviting Russia commit espionage to steal State Department documents treason.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It would be poetic justice if media could show that Melania Trump worked illegally in the US in the 90s.

I haven't seen this one yet:

The interesting thing about it is the best case scenario is that Trump is simply bald-facedly lying.

Worst case: that he saw a classified video due to his newfound security briefings and immediately talked about it at a press rally. This isn't possible, though, as he has yet to have any such briefings.

I disagree. Again, it's the part of the nasty stuff I mentioned before. Unlike Bill Clinton, she is not a public person so dragging her through mud because you want to get at Trump is shitty.
