    Like all of those charities the fraud Trump never gave the money too? How much did they raise? 6 million? 4.5 million? 5.5 million? It keeps changing.

    Trump the thief:

    The Timeline Of Trump And Friends’ Donations To Veterans Makes No Sense

    Four months ago, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump skipped out on a presidential debate hosted by Fox News to hold a fundraiser to benefit veterans organizations. Since then, the campaign has not made it clear exactly how much the event raised, or precisely which groups have benefitted.

    Trump himself pledged at the event to give $1 million. He took credit for doing so and continued to allow the public to believe he had donated, even though it’s now clear he never did. It’s possible he actually never intended to, as it was only when The Washington Post finally cornered him this week about that falsehood that he belatedly coughed up the money.

    Is anyone surprised that Trump lied? He couldn't tell the truth, even if he stood to make money from it. You know the old saying, How can you tell if a political is lying? His mouth is moving! Well, that fits Trump to a tee. He's already a great politician. The man is a lying fraud.

    the soap and lampshades has been debunked as holocaust myth so I don't know what museum he was at and what was the specific exhibit ?....but the video still brings up many valid points even though it can be misleading...and oh yeah... the chick at the end has nice legs so it's worth the watch !

    If Trump wins:

    • Whoopi Goldberg will leave the country
    • Rosie O'Donnell will leave
    • Sharpton will leave
    • Cher will leave
    • Cyrus will leave
    • Career students will leave, oh and...
    • You won't be able to marry your pet

    Seeing all those celebrities leave should be an episodic event, might be worth the admission itself.

    I've seen better legs but it still was an interesting video. The government provides ammo for target practice. Need to get that in the GOP platform. WTF is NRA doing? I had government provided ammo for target and qualifying during my Army days. Shooting was a blast.

    The Swiss government only provides ammo for members of the military, you want it for personal reasons you have to buy it. Just like the guns, they don't give them to people for free when they're done with their military service, people have to buy them, they have to get permits as well, and they have to be converted to semi-automatic. Member of the militia/military can't bring their weapons home either, they remain at the barracks/base.

    Yes but Hillary lied about ducking sniper fire in Bosnia. So by your logic that cancels out Trumps lies.

    Debating him would have been idiotic. It may have marginalized Hillary a bit but the goal for Trump needs to be to pull some Bernie supporters or at least not give them a reason to go with Hillary. Even if he trounced Bernie in a debate it would still be a loss if it helped to unify the other side.

    Katie Couric is under fire for deceptive editing in her documentary Under the Gun. She took time to respond to the controversy and engage in some self-reflection while offering advice to aspiring journalists.

    What you are describing are political machinations which Trump as an anti-establishment candidate should be seeking to distance himself from. He had the opportunity to engage in a civil debate which would serve to highlight the range of agreed policy outcomes which the two candidates share. He could differentiate himself by highlighting the differences in his path towards those outcomes but there would be little point in attacking Bernie directly. And there is a good chance Sanders wouldn't go after Trump either. That would be the best way to marginalise Shillary Klingon and unite the anti-establishment vote.

    I want Trump to win. I want the Democrats to self-destruct so that they rebuild themselves into the progressive party they need to be.

    One characteristic of the economy these days is that it can seem rigged. Another characteristic is its total lack of meaningful contributions from Bernie Sanders. Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, drove this point home in a scathing Facebook post that was spotted by the Daily Caller:

    “To Bernie Sanders: We created 11,000 new jobs at Disneyland in the past decade, and our company has created 18,000 in the U.S. in the last five years,” Iger wrote in a Facebook post. “How many jobs have you created? What have you contributed to the U.S. economy?”

    The answer, of course, is nothing, outside of employing a handful of political and campaign staffers at taxpayer and donor expense. That hardly makes Sanders unique among progressive politicians, many of whom jumped into activism jobs straight after college and then segued into public service, all the while criticizing the very private sector that they themselves never participated in.

    Bingo. If it was going to be like a koombaya, we-both-rag-on-Hillary-for-charity, thing then it's good for both. If it would have turned into hostility (a typical debate these days) then it's a lose/lose for Trump.

    I'm guessing that he sincerely wanted to do it and thinks he would win but then an advisor explained the consequences to him.

    Still, a debate between a protectionist and a socialist would be pretty funny and, so, we all lose in the end.
