I wish Trump would just go bald so we could call him Lex Luthor.

I wonder if Trump will make good on his earlier promise to change his hairstyle to a combed back version if he wins the nomination.

I kinda doubt it though. More than likely we'll just get the fluffed wig again.

Who in this thread thinks Trump should go to prison for mere words, and that Hillary shouldn't for actual actions that may have led to leak of state secrets to Russia?

Seems like neogaf.gif is alive and well here, so hypocritical...

As far as I'm concerned it'd be best if they both went and shared a cell :) (although I don't see what one could charge Trump with, maybe hate speech but it might be a reach...)

I don't agree with what Trump said about Snowden but unfortunately I don't think his thoughts are that different from the rest of Washington, they're just afraid to say it. Why else do you think he's still in Russia.

Just because we live in a certain country shouldn't mean that we are be okay with our government being completely corrupt and lying/hiding it from us. You guys are literally accusing the people trying to expose corruption instead of blaming the ones that are corrupted. It's like the twilight-zone in here.

Incredible.

I'm not a lawyer but don't think it should necessarily matter whether whether foreign governments were able to actually retrieve secrets that were left wide open.

If I become a secret agent and casually drop secret stuff on the street while walking my dog, I should probably go to prison. Obviously that's not exactly what Hillary did, but you get the idea.

Ok well clearly that difference does matter in the eyes of the law.
 
I almost wonder if we'll end up with a shy democrat situation amongst Republicans.

They'll say out loud they support Trump, because few would want to publicly state they'll vote Clinton, but in the end in the booth they'll do the right thing

No i dont, because in many cases Hillary's private server was more secure than outdated State Dept IT architecture. Like do people even know anything about the emails issue?

Off the cuff Trump is best Trump. Sadly this more than likely won't have an effect.

This is based on...?

Dude has already suffered in the polls from dumb shit said like his gloating after the Orlando shooting. Are people just not paying attention to the polls anymore and constantly parroting "bawk! Won't hurt him! Won't hurt him!!" at this point?

Completely agree about the need for that neogaf.gif right about now. The blind bias around here is amazing. They are siding with someone who has actually been caught committing crimes against their country.

Kind of off topic but why do shit posters almost always not have an avatar?

None of Trump's previous comments hurt him because there was nothing for those comments to hurt - his only base of supporters were the kind of people who found those sort of comments appealing. No one who would find questioning a natural born judge's loyalty to the the United States because of his Mexican ancestry unacceptable was supporting Trump, thus he lost no support for those remarks. However, these sort of comments being repeatedly made do put more and more weight on top of Trump's ceiling.

These recent comments in conjunction with the pattern of evidence as previously enumerated in this thread could serve to actually hurt Trump among his base of Republicans - and also of course just adds another weight to the crushing pressure pushing down on his ceiling.

Its clear that Trump's policies are designed to further the national interests of Russia and not America.


Of course the Trumpets try to shift the discussion to Hillary, who was determined to have done nothing illegal. But whatever.

It's not much about support and more furiously denying or saying he was joking and it's no big deal.

I think you know the answer to that based on people in this very thread.

Y'know.. your buddies in Congress have had millions and millions of dollars to spend going after her over the years. They did not want for resources in their pursuit. If she were so patently, blatantly criminal in her actions, as you so indicate, their incompetent asses should've had zero problems nabbing her and tossing her into the hoosegow.
 
“It’s probably the most egregiously stupid thing I’ve ever heard a party nominee say ever,” said Bradley Moss, a lawyer specializing in national security law.

Moss believes that there’s a legal case to charge Trump for his comments, because he was calling for Russia to take “imminent lawless action,” which is speech not covered by the First Amendment.

Moss added that Trump could theoretically be charged as a conspirator under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

It's a joke to play to his base. Trump's up to a lot of shady shit, but this ain't that.

How is that an excuse? He's running for President of the United States. He no longer has the luxury of making jokes about serious national security matters. Not to mention the fact that he's doubled down on the statement and repeatedly pushed for closer ties with Russia and deteriorating relationships with close allies.
 
Gotta love that Fox News hasn't picked up the story, at least from what I can see on their front page. But damn are they dedicating a lot of real estate with a huge CASE CLOSED regarding the Freddie Gray case.

Remember when screaming Byah! would fuck up your campaign?

Yeah, me neither.

Funnily enough, Howard Dean's speech (and closing joke) reminded me how low the level of discourse has gotten. An out-of-context, awkward yell was enough to bring down a campaign back in the day. Today you can make fun of the disabled, openly embrace xenophobia and bigotry, actively call for foreign cybersecurity attacks to come and hurt your political opponent, have a verifiable history of racism, and still at the end of the day have millions of people tripping over themselves to defend the candidate.

You know its bad when they won't even acknowledge it. We may be heading over the peak here, what he did today could be grounds for a federal case to be tried (which won't happen).
