#1  The piece containing comments about HRC and/or Obama "starting a war (international incident) with Russia to cover up released emails"....something I've had in the back of my brain housing group for weeks.

Entirely too much Russia bashing going on.... IMHO.

Potential scenario: A poll sinking HRC checks into Bethesda Naval hospital on 1 Nov. Grim prognosis issued via networks.

Simultaneous attacks in the South China Sea, Korea, the Gulf, and the Ukraine prompt a US Nuclear alert and mobilization. Mysterious explosion destroys Trans-Alaskan pipeline pumping stations. Congress convenes emergency session to meet crisis and postpone election.....

Need I continue ?

#4  That's the beauty of being a Democrat. You can do and say anything you like. Your base doesn't care, and the MSM won't report it.

#5  Russia has been doing some strange things recently, as in things are not ok.

Recalling Russians from overseas, cutting off normal diplomatic channels, now a missile test. Oh, the tour of bombers around Europe the other day.

Now the RAF has a go to engage threatening Russian aircraft in Syria.

Everyone is doing the Red October quote, so I'm going with "I have a bad feeling about this."

#6  One more tidbit to the story. Hillary/Obama sold Uranium to the Russians. No understanding of why. The Russians do not need it. The only answer I can get to is the Uranium DNA, isotopes, is traceable back to the US. Any bomb or dirty bomb will immediately be traced back to us. We would deny it, and then WW3 would be off and running. Especially if they nuked one of the Chinese spratley island bases...

#7  Here is some more on what the Russians have apparently been up to, along with some analysis. I've found the website to be credible: http://formerspook.blogspot.com/

Iblis,

That's not true - as one wag has said, "The MSM covers the news. With a pillow. Until it stops moving."

#9  He also identified how the left operates:

1.Identify a respected institution.
2.kill it.
3.gut it.
4.wear its carcass as a skinsuit while demanding respect.

He is David Burge (aka iowahawk).

Trump would be ‘dangerous’ if elected: UN rights chief
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The UN's rights chief warned Wednesday that Donald Trump's statements pointed to a "dangerous" figure emerging on the world stage if he won the US presidency.

At a presser in Geneva, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said he was "not keen or intent on interfering in any political campaign."

But, he said, in light of the "unsettling" and "disturbing" comments from the US presidential candidate it was only right to sound the alarm.

"If Donald Trump is elected, on the basis of what he has said already, and unless that changes, I think that it is without any doubt that he would be dangerous from an international point of view," Zeid said.

He referred to Trump's call to bring back interrogation techniques that legal experts say amount to torture.

And, he said, Trump's attacks on "vulnerable communities" such as Moslems, immigrants colonists and minorities "suggest that they may well be deprived of their human rights."
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
Last month, Zeid launched a scathing attack on populists such as Trump and Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, calling for action to halt "demagogues and political fantasists."

He had also compared Trump to Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, La Belle France's leader of the National Front Marine Le Pen, and leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage.

#1  Doesn't this guy have some homosexuals to hang or women to stone?
Posted by: CrazyFool || 10/13/2016 1:03 Comments || Top||

#2  Yea, we're hoping his election will start the elimination of your entire system of transnational elites.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 10/13/2016 1:05 Comments || Top||

#3  A warning from the UN should be viewed as a Trump endorsement.
Posted by: Besoeker || 10/13/2016 1:37 Comments || Top||

#4  Trump could act on principle, as he is not bought and paid for. That makes him very dangerous to these types.
Posted by: phil_b || 10/13/2016 5:28 Comments || Top||

#5  Dangerous? You bet your sweet bippy!

#6  We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! - Governor William J. Le Petomane
Posted by: Procopius2k || 10/13/2016 13:14 Comments || Top||

#7  Dangerous to the UN? Well, thats what most of us want! I think this guy may not realize that this kind of "criticism" will not stop trump, it actually gets him more votes! Ivory towers...
Posted by: Spusomble Black9520 || 10/13/2016 14:19 Comments || Top||

#8  Besoeker is right, this will only help Trump. A PAC should cook up a commercial with this kind of stuff with a tag "With all the right enemies he must be doing something right."
Posted by: rjschwarz || 10/13/2016 14:52 Comments || Top||

#9  What was that about being measured by your enemies?

A ringing endorsement, indeed.

Washington Post Gives Obama ‘Four Pinocchios' for False VA Claim
[Free Beacon] The Washington Post fact checker team gave President Obama "Four Pinocchios" for claiming that his administration fired "a whole bunch of people" who were in charge of facilities at the Department of Veterans Affairs since the VA scandal began in 2014, determining that the statement was completely false.

Obama is not the only one accused of misleading the public about the number of people held accountable for manipulating patient wait-time data at the VA. Department Secretary Robert McDonald has twice received Four Pinocchio ratings for making similar claims.

#2  In his defense, that's just what was on the teleprompter. Barry probably doesn't even know what VA stands for.
