Ahhh but what if the websites you frequent secretly have been brainwashing you with highly biased information for years? I'm guessing you don't fact check with the mainstream media?
Snopes responds, "Are we Republicans or Democrats? Conservatives or liberals? Administration supporters or a secretly-funded tool of the opposition? According to our readership, we're all thosethings — from what they tell us, we've performed the remarkable feat of being decidedly biased in every possible direction". -
I'm guessing he has a lot of support because of all the media attacks and lies, Democratic lies and cheating and the fact his own party is against him.
I find it incredible that the media is so liberally biased and they refuse to actually report news (Leaked eamils, scandals etc) and report on important things like what someone said a decade ago.
There hasn't been a single word in any news media that the military have raised their alert status to DEFCON 3 from DEFCON 5.
I guess threat of nuclear war doesn't make for interesting news.

The US media biased? Even MB2 has got to admit that Trump sucks all the oxygen out of the room, he drives the news cycles. Film of him admitting to groping of genitals certainly sells more papers then Wikileaks -Clinton cooing up to Wallstreet emails.
What a lot of neo-cons fail to realize is that they are constantly parroting a different kind of biased media, and often they don't know it. Here we go again, another conspiracy...DEFCON 3 from DEFCON 5 and the mainstream media doesn't report?!??!!!!
Well no. A 30 second fact check found this.

Really nice fish but I liked the intro better!

65 years eh? A decision to give it up cold turkey could be as much about the fishing world changing as it could be about the body changing.

I have a good agm 31, small tin boat, and an older Minn Kota 30 pound thrust electric. I have used this set up but got the wrong type of battery previously. It's a small lake so 30 p t is good enough for me. It's reserve capacity is rated @at 177 min @ 25 amps. Does that mean if I'm mostly trolling, roughly 3 hours?
-
Here is a different question on the same topic.
If you use a good AGM 31 battery as a trolling motor for several hours how do you know when you are reaching the point of deep dischage, where more use will limit the life of your battery.
-
Did you notice the original question to all of this? I questioned why the double standard. A Conservative Gov't decides to put forth cuts for reduced spending Con supporters are in favour. When the Liberal Gov't does the same thing, there's a raucous. After all, isn't reduced spending one of the goals of Conservative supporters? As it currently stands, nothing is being changed and we are on due course for Flaherty's proposal to happen in 2017.
Hypothetically speaking, if Trudeau goes about and reverses the proposed reduced health transfers starting 2017, will you be supporting that decision or be up in arms about increased spending under a Liberal gov't?
Exactly.

Incredibly 50 of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter saying they will not vote for Mr. Trump..."Donald Trump is not qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief. Indeed, we are convinced that he would be a dangerous President and would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being. Most fundamentally, Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President. He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world. He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary. In addition, Mr. Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he has little understanding of America’s vital national interests, its complex diplomatic challenges, its indispensable alliances, and the democratic values on which U.S. foreign policy must be based. At the same time, he persistently compliments our adversaries and threatens our allies and friends. Unlike previous Presidents who had limited experience in foreign affairs, Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself. He continues to display an alarming ignorance of basic facts of contemporary international politics. Despite his lack of knowledge, Mr. Trump claims that he understands foreign affairs and “knows more about ISIS than the generals do.”
“Well, I respond by saying that I wasn’t using any of them and they would have loved to have been involved with the campaign,” Trump said. “And these were the people that have been there a long time,” he continued. “Washington establishment people that have been there for a long time. Look at the terrible job they’ve done. I hadn’t planned on using any of these people. They don’t feel relevant because of that and they form a group and they go out and try to get some publicity for themselves and they hope that somebody else other than Trump wins because that way they can get a job,” he added.
Yup, what 50 of his own parties top security members said means nothing because they have too much experience.

Just paid $400 with tax for a single 31 AGM

I think a lot of Americans need to educate themselves on the Clinton's starting about 1978. A few documentaries out there that are several years old about Bill and Hiliary.
...or you could educate yourself with another "documentary-
" titled, "This documentary will get Donald Trump elected".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCabT_O0YSM
Something does not compute, in the video Trump over the years laments the ever rising deficit yet as soon as he is in a position of power he makes promises that will create massive new debt with tax cuts mainly for the rich, huge tax cuts for big corporations, and 1/2 trillion dollars of spending on a giant infrastructure program.
George Bush called that sort of reasoning Voodoo Economics.

I can tell you where not to fish...Cayo Largo which has a fishing ban, Cayo Santa Maria which has a fishing ban on the causeway, and mainland Cuba which is over fished. Flats fishing? Probably on Cayo Pardon.

The best ever was Deadwood. Many people I know have never heard of these shows because they have cable. If it has a commercial every 4 minutes I will not watch it, even watching the news bothers me with the interminable commercials that insults our intelligence.
I would put Deadwood in the top 10 of all time...along with the Wire. Band of Brothers and The Pacific also would go on that list.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/09/us/politics/donald-trump-economy-speech.html
New Trump statement on several new economic policies: "...an end to the estate tax, exclusion of child-care expenses from taxation, and a 15 percent cap on all business income tax. He is also promising to use executive powers to impose a moratorium on new agency regulations. On trade, Mr. Trump underscored his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. He also wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and label China a currency manipulator. And on energy policy, Mr. Trump said he would tear up the Paris Climate Agreement and halt the United States’ payments to United Nations global warming programs".
Also promised recently was to double Hilary's 275 billion commitment to infrastructure spending and lower taxes. All in all these promises should put the US much further into debt.

Sure, Donald Trump says stupid stuff sometimes, but its off the cuff and non-politically correct. Hillary, on the other hand, is cold, calculating and choreographs her words to make you think one thing when the opposite is true
Here is the Donald not speaking off the cuff. It is scripted, he is reading a statement he did not write. Someone has choreographed his words to make you think one thing when the opposite is true. Donald used Ryan's own words to snub him but didn't have the balls to follow through. They told him to dance like a puppet and he said how high? Ryan didn't come to the rally. All the important Wisconsin Republicans snubbed him and none showed up. Establishment Republicans are distancing themselves from him and he is dangling in the wind.
He has only his white people who hopelessly believe that he is a maverick prophet of truth who will lead them back to a pure America. That crowd is good for background filler at his rallies but no where close enough to get him even one swing state. If the election were held today he would be crushed.
So how does Trump win Glen?...does Trump go diplomatic and continue kissing up to his established Republican cousins like a twoface?..or does he go on another rouge bashing bender? No one wants to see the boring Trump and Trump wants his ratings so you know where this is going. He's going to blow up his party.

Former Bush CIA head said this about Trump: "...the character traits he has exhibited during the primary season suggest he would be a poor, even dangerous, commander in chief.These traits include his obvious need for self-aggrandizement, his overreaction to perceived slights, his tendency to make decisions based on intuition, his refusal to change his views based on new information, his routine carelessness with the facts, his unwillingness to listen to others and his lack of respect for the rule of law.
The dangers that flow from Mr. Trump’s character are not just risks that would emerge if he became president. It is already damaging our national security. President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was a career intelligence officer, trained to identify vulnerabilities in an individual and to exploit them. That is exactly what he did early in the primaries. Mr. Putin played upon Mr. Trump’s vulnerabilities by complimenting him. He responded just as Mr. Putin had calculated".
That combination of blowhard ignorance and self absorption has seduced a few here. What word did they use to describe Trump's bigoted and boorish remarks?..."refreshing"

.... even if he loses he's already convinced his supporters that the election is rigged so he can't win... either way I see chaos..
I'll miss the intelligence of Obama....blowing up one myth at a time.

Was it not the liberals that said if Great Britain votes against staying with EU that the stock market would crash and "THE DONALD" said no it wouldn't.........
MYTH BUSTING
Regardless of what the Donald possibly predicted...did any of you believe that someone said that Britain could crash the world economy with a no vote? No one else did.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/70d0bfd8-d1b3-11e5-831d-09f7778e7377.html#axzz4GT3NNXfG
And what do you make of that no-vote? First thing after the vote all the no-vote leaders fall on their swords and the new leadership states there is no possible way it can even think of filing the divorce papers until well into 2017. That's hardly taking a bold step to independence and more like, ooops we may have made a mistake...err what do we do now?
Finally key economic indicators released yesterday paint a bleak picture short term future for a Britain that can't even file the divorce papers: ...financial conditions going forward that look worse then after 2009 stock market crash, helicopter cash infusions, and an interest rate of 1/4 of 1%.

Im just sick of threads that go nowhere but divide people.
Your post is as ignorant as trump.
Your climate change thread was a nother beauty troll post.
Only reason I regretfully took part is that it gets boring sitting in a work truck.
Now things at work have picked up so I can now avoid your threads and save a few brain cells.
Kudos to you for voicing your opinions though. Ill kindly pass from now on
You're a funny guy. That denier climate change thread was certainly not my thread but you must of posted like 50 times on it, did you start that one? Work must have been INCREDIBLY boring for you!!!!! ...as for you avoiding this thread, Bwahahahahha
Meanwhile my initial statement on this thread has come true...latest polling has come out and Trump is cratering. I guess you can't attack the military and your own party and not take a hit.
Have you noticed that Trump has been relatively silent for a day after he attacked his own speaker of the house? That won't last.
As I predicted previously my bet is that he gets back to his "normal" and attacks new targets like the super rich and continues torching establishment Republicans. He will lose running a straight election and 70% of his base are angry white people who like a good bonfire. It's the only way he can keep his TV ratings up, he loves his ratings.

Best post in this turd of a thread
Wasn't it you who had one of the initial posts telling us that this thread should be closed as soon as it was opened?
So we can blather on about climate change being a hoax for pages and pages and you gladly take part, but when we examine Trump who is openly being questioned about being mentally unhinged, this makes you feel uncomfortable? Just saying
-
Interesting, the Trump fanboys see Trump as just another normal candidate who has done some wrong no worse then any other politician. They see this as a normal presidential election.
-
I always wondered who in their right mind would actually cast a vote in favour of making Donald Trump the President.
Surveys indicate the answer is white males who don't read. To be skeptical and objective requires reading. You get the sense that Donald Trump doesn't read either. To ask, why can't we use our nuclear weapons, speaks to a man who doesn't know basic history or a phrase like, mutually assured destruction.
OK, I'll open the can of worms, US Presidential Election thread

Talking about Media bias....
I'm guessing the list above is a great place to start for Media bias. To fact check I started with "The Secret Life of Barack Hussein Obama", written by Mondo Frazier. Simon and Schuster who published the book states about the author, "Mondo Frazier is a graduate of West Liberty State University, Mondo Frazier is founder/editor/writer at Death by a Thousand Papercuts and has published more than 2,000 articles online". Death by a 1000 papercuts is an online blog of poor quality. He gives us nuggets such as this post,"The Bible says that in the end times, it will be mostly fables which are believed. Here are five of the most popular fables told in the those buildings known as the churches".
There is no credible review of his book. The author doesn't even rate a wikipedia page. The only known quantity to review his book is the National Enquirer, "The explosive tell-all by take-no-prisoners blogger Mondo Frazier reveals the commander in chief is a “chain-smoking wreck” who could be hooked on prescription drugs, and claims he may have spied for the CIA in college". The author goes on to boast, “I’ve uncovered that President Obama has spent over $2 million in legal fees to keep the details of his past hidden,” Frazier told The ENQUIRER. “This new book will surely impact his re-election campaign.”
In a nutshell we have a nutbar who authors an Obama hatchet job and a major publishing house publishes his book and brags about a blogger/author??!
Neo-cons seem to believe anything if they are fed by the right teat. That anyone would still think that the Birther movement isn't dead, or push titles such as the ones above prove my point. We now have industries of misinformation for profit and flat out propaganda. Hitler and Gobbles would be proud. That Paul Ryan can get up and say that 70% of the American people want change and then fail to be at all accountable for his own parties failings in this regard is totally mind boggling. People don't want the Bull crap anymore.
