We don't, but the fact that every single bad thing that this country has done and apologized for(Japan internment, Native American massacre, etc) slavery is the only thing that's never actually been brought up and dealt with properly.

I'd be good with some classes on how to improve/keep good credit, investment advice, and how to start/run a business. Because these things aren't abundant in poor urban/rural areas.

NYC, and Harlem in particular, have many of these programs.

How these Dems can keep a straight face when denying it was a ransom payment when it occurred on same day as hostage release???

They are all congenital liars.

Sure it would be better if he were a little less thin skinned, but "Destroy the country" -- c'mon, that's a little extreme...

Here is the thing that is being overlooked on this topic.

Here us an opportunity for Trump to act Presidential by being gracious, acknowledge the sacrifice of this family and thank them and move on like the incident never occurred.

Trump let his ego get in the way of his response...this is what Republicans, Democrats and Independents having been saying: Donald Trump has not demonstrated the temprament needed to lead our country.

I basically agree but there is no doubt Trump was baited.

I often vote for local Republicans, there are some good ones at our County level. I don't know what happens to them by the National level though.

I find that hard to believe .

Why would I want to hang with someone I just dumped

Not talking about hanging with someone you don't want to be with. But if you were with someone for more than a brief period, don't they deserve an explanation when you decide to break things off? Even if it's by phone or email?

Yup.

Disappearing without a trace, explanation, and avoiding all forms of contact with the person you just broke up with.

Must have gone into the witness protection program .

Both men and women should have the guts to tell others that they're not interested, rather than simply disappear or not show up. Disrespect and disregard for others' time and feelings are one of the cruelest forms of treatment.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Would also like to add that when couples break up, the least they could do is break up in person, or at least with an explanation. "Ghosting" after a relationship is inexcusable.

Gotta love all this talk about "wives."

How about Cankles "feminist" Clinton being a dutiful doormat for her husband? Blaming his inability to keep it in his pants on a "vast right wing conspiracy"? Blaming the victims of his disgusting philandering? Any self respecting feminist would have dumped his cheating, sorry a$$ years ago. She is an enabler and a disgrace to women.

Hillary was fired for her lies back during Watergate. She has done many immoral things since then, lied publicly so many times it's not even funny. Only someone in a vegetative coma would not know how corrupt she is. There is not one shred of honest ability in that woman's body. Sniper fire. Emails that weren't deleted. Benghazi. Swapping back and forth over same sex marriage. Whitewater. The list goes on and on. And then there's that pesky list of people behind the Clinton's who died of accidental causes. No thanksuch, America deserves better.

I'd vote for Obama again before I'd vote for Hillary.

Tell me something -- did "Cankles" Clinton ever return the furniture she stole from the White House??

You Republicans are such idiots.

The brother lives in Kenya and is not a USC, so he can't vote in a US election.

The brother is pissed that Obama and Hillary took out Khadafy in 2011. The brother said Khadafy was one of his best friend.

The brother who practices polygamy and married a teenager as his third wife.

This is the guy that you bring to show how shitty Obama is.

You guys are so sad for giving any value to what comes out of this clown's mouth.

Did you even bother to read the link???

His brother IS a United States citizen and IS eligible to vote.

Before you rant and insult, you should at least have the facts straight ...

It's only a matter of time before the puppy dog press yet again writes about Michelle's "toned arms" as well as other similar items of worldwide import.

That's not the question that's being asked here. You can parade the content all you want. The questions of how they were obtained and the implications that our country has a severe threat of being controlled and influenced by a foreign dictator should be more than enough to cause alarm. Which is precisely, what some conservatives are saying. They acknowledge the content of the emails - but this does not discount the action(s) of a foreign government. And did you know that some of the content has also been falsified by that foreign entity?

Uh, no.

The content is the meat of the matter. The left's constant obfuscation of the real issues by distractors is mind boggling. Anything to deflect from the endless scandals and lies.

Megalomania is best reserved for those in oligarchies, dictatorships, theocracies, despotism, and absolute authoritarianism. Megalomania is something our founders did not want the Presidency to be.

There has actually been a great deal of studies on the type of temperament it takes to be president. Megalomania need not apply. Megalomania differs from NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, in which the candidate has intense desire to be motivated by wanting to be absolute in power and rule by fear. They will be fond of making others suffer, they will take pleasure in killing and destroying. They literally want to be feared, rather than the latter, which is focused on a desire to be beloved. Both have deluded aspects but are different. Both are psychological disorders, but one is far more dangerous than the other. A study of Presidents and Prime Ministers for instance, revealed shades of a psychological disorder referred to as Hubris syndrome (it can be a learned disorder because of environmental factors), which also varies quite differently from Megalomania, and is actually linked to other underlying psychological problems - including bipolarism, alcohol/drug abuse, anxiety, and depression. Anxiety and depression, being the most common in those leaders with no underlying issues, is understandable and one of the reasons why they tend to show severe signs of stress, by aging significantly pre and post office. Even the standard dictionary definition above, does not reveal the full definition of the true psychological disorder of a megalomaniac.

I do not disagree with anything you said in the above post. I am only making the point that almost anyone running for the presidency these days has those tendencies, or at the very least (as Rob L put it), an "authority fetish." You may think these types "should not apply" for the office, but they always do.

Rob L, on 26 Jul 2016 - 01:35 AM, said:

I am fairly sure I an using a plain ole English dictionary, and you are just making stuff up.

Exactly what am I "making up"?

yuna628, on 25 Jul 2016 - 9:47 PM, said:

All valid questions. See how everyone just doesn't want to think about it and answer them?

Let us redirect to the CONTENT of those emails...

Rob L, on 25 Jul 2016 - 10:08 PM, said:

Nope...an authority fetish is not conservatism

One other misconception to get out of the way:

I am tired of people calling him a megalomaniac (your variant is "authority fetish.") Can't we ALL agree that anyone that runs for President of the US is a megalomaniac? Of course -- Democrat or Republican presidential hopefuls -- they all are, almost by definition!

Rob L, on 25 Jul 2016 - 10:08 PM, said:

I am not calling him a conservative. Those are your words. You seem to think by playing gotcha with Trump's supporters, showing he is not a traditional conservative, is a problem. It's not.

What I am doing is trying to explain his appeal.

Rob L, on 25 Jul 2016 - 9:47 PM, said:

If Trump were truly the anti-Obama, he would be a conservative... by most measures that conservatives value he is not. Trump is for Trump.

It is clear that even if Trump is not a racist in his heart, he leverages that fear and hatred as is selling point.

No, I am looking at the bigger picture. Certainly if you take individual policies, you will find some disagreement with traditional conservatism. But his appeal is on a much broader level - anti-political correctness; belief in America's exceptionalism; support for our military and police; and a basic belief that this is a nation of laws and that illegal immigrants have no place here.

All things liberals despise.

Stay Woke, on 25 Jul 2016 - 7:55 PM, said:

It's a shame that electing a black President would have such a negative consequence.

Why can't it just be that we cannot stand any of Obama's policies and, even worse, his methodology of forcing those misguided policies down our throats?

Trump is certainly the anti-Obama, which is a large part of his appeal.

Why attribute everything to racism?

I swear when DDS is in full swing it's comical. Sad but comical

Standard Democratic/Liberal nonsense. Anytime they don't get the election results they want, they scream "Impeach!" See: Scott Walker, Wisconsin.

They are physically unable to take no for an answer.
