What a shitty intro.

I dunno.  Maybe he deliberately set out to discredit anything he could say in later paragraphs.  It worked for me.

Curious how Americans, unlike Russians, have no personal names whatever.  Isvestia still has some things to learn from the Daily Fail.

True, did the same for me.

To be honest, I'd much rather have a nation that is built around a myth of a legal document and founding fathers than one worshipping the concept of "ethnic identity".

And it's absolutely a binary choice, right?

Well I don't know why at all a nation in the 21st century would want to be based on ethnic identity. Seems very problematic.

Not at all. It could also be built around love for a figurehead monarchy.

Ah, I see what Gups was saying now.

It was neither good comedy nor informative journalism. Given the trouble he's gone to do the "research", he should have worked a bit harder when putting the whole thing in writing.

After all this I'm starting to feel bad for Donald. He's just so completely out of his league (bigly!) . He sucks at debating, he can't stay on message much less string coherent thoughts together on stage, he doesn't know when to stop punching himself in the dick, can't take any advice... This whole time it's basically been The Donald vs. Himself and he's losing  :lol:

But yeah, his whole life is unraveling before him for all the world to see. Being humiliated in every debate, even if he doesn't even realize it. That has to to take a toll on him emotionally. I'm sure Ivanka, who seems like an actual decent human being, feels really bad for her Dad.  :(

I have no sympathies whatsoever.  I mean, it is hard to find any politician who is more repulsive and revolting than Donald Trump in any functioning democracy.  Even if someone actively tries to be obnoxious, it is a challenge to beat Donald Trump.  Brags about sexually assaulting women?  Colludes with foreign enemies?  Calls for your political opponents be jailed or assassinated?  Spews lies non-stop?  Refuses to accept voting results?  Insults parents of fallen soldiers?  Attacks racial and religious minorities?  I am sure I have missed a whole lot.

The whole 'rigged election' thing makes it hard for me to be sympathetic.

I missed the debate (dang it!) but I read this morning that Hillary said she believes the Second Amendment guarantees and individual right to bear arms.  Is Laguish: outraged?

Not really. I have been saying for years everybody freaking out about the 2nd Amendment was an idiot. The Supreme Court made their decision. The other amendments  deserve more attention.

yeah, trump has shown how terrible he is as a person. I personally can't wait for his empire to crumble as a result of his destroyed brand name. it's what he deserves for the mess he's put the country through
