Donald Trump + Hillary Clinton + The Press

[Keith Maitland]

TRUMP: I want to blow up the moon with big rockets.

CLINTON: Blowing up the moon is bad.

PRESS: “Trump, Clinton Spar Over Moon Plans”

[Jack Knave]

They'll blow up planet Earth first before they decimate the moon into star dust.

I see Trump is boasting about how he has got around the US tax laws and paying as little as possible!

Oh, the irony.

This will give him heroic status among his supporters, the majority of whom are so low in the food chain that they have neither the opportunity nor ability to avoid any taxes at at all.

"It's only little people who pay taxes."

It makes you sick to think people with modest means are paying taxes to help run that country, yet Trump, who is worth billions, thinks it fine to pay as little in tax as he can get away with! The US needs to tighten their tax laws to prevent that happening.

On a discussion I'm involved in, some black people reckon they are going to have a rebellion after the election and go for apartheid again.

What with that and Donald Trump, the USA could start looking like an intolerant country, where racists ( of all colours)  set the agenda.

I hate to think what's going to happen, it sounds like people are getting even more extreme over there.

If I lived there I'd be thinking its time to buy my tin hat.

Trump is an intolerant racist, homophobic and misogynist, a US under his rule would be very ghastly indeed.

What does ' they are going to have a rebellion and go for apartheid again' mean?  It seems to imply that black people will rebel and then enforce an apartheid state - which would he odd, and makes a nonsense of the 'again'?

The USA used to separate blacks from whites and you had bars only some people could go in, depending on the colour of your skin.

You had separate buses too.

That's what the again means.

The rebellion bit means that black people over there are very angry ( with the stuff about police shootings) and after the election some seem to be planning to riot and fight to bring back in separation.

Is that clearer now?

This is just one campus, i don't think the discussion I am in is students but some seem to think they got more done with segregation.

I think it's a horrible idea, having your life dictated to by racists of any colour doesn't appeal.

I'm just glad I live here, where you can have interracial marriage etc.

[Nearly Sane]

The issue I had is that black people did not 'go for apartheid' previously. It was enforced on them. So the 'again' makes no sense.

Ok, whatever!

But some of them want to turn the clock back.

That's my point.

PRESS: “Trump, Clinton Spar Over Moon Plans”


So they are going to open little handy stores on the moon?
Very enterprising, I'm impressed!

I wonder what the currency is on the moon?

They could export some rare cheese too.

I see Trump is boasting about how he has got around the US tax laws and paying as little as possible!

Not to mention UK tax laws, as well!!

[Brownie]

In fairness, even if he does get around the tax laws, he'll still be paying an enormous amount of money in tax.   He shouldn't crow about how he manages to evade paying more, it gets peoples' backs up.  Most people in his position wouldn't know how it's done anyway, the accountants are the ones who work on that.

Mooney!

What a wonderful President Trump would make, NOT!!!!!!!!!!! The US has had some bad ones in their time, but he would be in a league all of his own!

Just when you think it couldn't possibly get any worse, Trump amazes with another gem. And the scary thing is that it doesn't seem to damage his ratings.

It does make you wonder how daft and gullible some of the US citizens are?

Actually it does.

FiveThirtyEight's forecast has Hillary on an 81% chance of winning now. Just before the debate, the same figure was 55%.

I hope that is correct.

[SusanDoris]

I hope that is correct.

Me too, Floo. thanks to JeremyP. I also heard some idiot Republican on Today this morning justifying why he was still going to vote for trump. Yuk!

[floo]

If Trump became president maybe he would bring in a law allowing guys as a right to have concubines for their delectation and delight!
