Don't remind me ffs. Still trying to get those images out of my head. I thought it would be funny from the description, the reality was far different though. It really was quite sick. LEL!
Trump Jr who is quick to comment on stories on Twitter and is active on it is not posting anything about this story.
Whats he worried about
Here's a bit of a non story that many media outlets seem to be trying to gently push. I normally would ignore stuff like this but since he's already in the shit, it's nice to drop more on him while he's down.
2019. And yes, I'm serious.
sick takedown. trump will surely resign now.
meanwhile, chris uhlman thinks jews came fled from hitler to bring communism to the united states
https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-should-mind-his-language-on-cultural-marxism
How's your protest vote working out for you?
hows crowing about brutal takedowns going for the hashtag resistance? so many dipshit libs think if enough talking heads own trump on tv then he has to stop being president meanwhile they eat up shit like eric garland and louise mensch. newsflash, no one who voted for trump gives a shit about what an australian journalist thinks. and instead of running on a platform that actually offers something to the people who voted for him or stayed home or refused to vote for a corrupt neoliberal who said things like "america is already great" and "i dont feel no ways tired" they run centrist robots like jon fecking ossof and create slogans like "i mean, have you seen the other guys?" and constantly attack the left wing of the party while moving closer to the right. hows that working out for you? the democrats are going to lose again in 2018 and 2020 because they refuse to learn the lesson that no one cares about john oliver or stephen colbert calling trump cockholster or drumpf and they want actual things that make their lives better.
The only reason the Democrats will lose in 2018 and 2020 is gerrymandering.
"Things that makes people's lives better". Like healthcare for example? Or action against climate change? Or a living wage? Or sensible gun control?
People who voted for Trump will continue to vote even more vigorously with a candidate who is further left. At least, protest voters will come back to the fold. Yayyyy
yes, like healthcare. lets start there.

http://thehill.com/homenews/state-w...ut-in-california-over-single-payer-healthcare
but yeah the dems are great and the only reason they will lose is gerrymandering, not their deep unpopularity
no they wont. you think people in the rust belt are thrilled to vote for a billionaire who was born a millionaire? they want someone to offer them a better future. trump cant deliver but at least he promised them something. what did hillary clinton and last year's democratic platfom offer to the people of dying rust belt towns with closed up factories and opioid epidemics who when they hear the name clinton, the first thing they think of is nafta?
if the democrats came out with a platform that said no one has to die or go bankrupt because they get sick and making higher education affordable and raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires it would be a sea change. i live in the rust belt. my friends and family and neighbors fit the demographics i mentioned above. they wont vote for corporate centrist like hillary clinton and cory booker that offer them no hope of a better future. offer them something that will make their lives better and win back those voters.
So basically, what you are saying is that you need to lie to these people to gain their votes?
yeah pexbo thats what im saying
good one
good one
It's exactly what Trump did. Do you really believe that anyone could bring industry back to these towns? Or at least bring back the industry they know so they can get back to work with the skill set and knowledge they already have.
It's not going to happen. Even if they bring back the industry to these places, the majority of the jobs that would have once existed are now automated.
So if you tell them what they want to hear to gain their vote, I guarantee you are lying to them.
Who did you vote for?
trump promised them manufacturing jobs. democrats could promise them healthcare. or affordable education. or wealth redistribution. you dont have to lie. instead they promised feck all.
sanders in primary. i voted dem ticket minus clinton in general.
Oh, so you are one of the 220,000 people or so who are likely to have ruined the world.
Oh feck it - I love Donald Trump. I love him. I love how angry him being president makes people.
Never forget that it was the DNC that pushed for Hillary Clinton. Not Russia, not Trump.
And as for the Paris agreement - did any of you actually read it? It required America to reduce their carbon emissions by 26% - but China zero. And to commit billions of dollars - while the rest of the world committed rather less. It's not fair to expect America to fund the whole thing while the rest of the world takes their money with no actual promises on their OWN climate controls.
Actually part of the agreement was written as follows:
"Acknowledging that climate change is a common concern of humankind, Parties should, when taking action to address climate change, respect, promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights, the right to health, the rights of indigenous peoples, local communities, migrants, children, persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable situations and the right to development, as well as gender equality, empowerment of women and intergenerational equity,"
Like - very politically correct but what does gender equality have to do with improving the climate?
Anyway - the god emperor lord trump has promised that the United Kingdom will have a good trade deal with the USA post brexit which is good news for the U.K. economy and rather more positive than Obama's "United Kingdom is going to be back of the queue" speech.

Empowering women to choose for themselves a path other than being a teenage bride reduce the amount of offsprings they would otherwise produce, hence the carbon footprint?
It's not even hard.
As somebody who has no problem admitting a hatred for him, I still sometimes find myself watching YouTube videos taking the piss out of certain elements of opposition to him. I can't stand how so many come across as impetuous and uninformed, and can't help but think they need a good dose of reality about how being a self-entitled asshole won't always get you what you want.
Indeed, and what better to demonstrate this lesson than the emergence of the understated and selfless human Donald Trump?
I wonder who these voted for.
Exactly. Look at how being impossibly narcissistic means even the presidency can't appease him. Nobody should be like that.
And yet stadiums chant his name... truly the lesson is well taken.
The lesson isn't for them. They need to enroll in "unchecked confidence shouldn't be mistaken for intelligence."
Nope, but it will be ignored because, you know, sense, and difficult to ague against once the meaning has been explained.
Feck Theresa May, her spineless showing at the recent election and the impossible position the UK is in due to the moronic and completely needless referendum means she had two choices.
1. To come out fighting and try to instil hope in the population by digging deep and working hard for the best deals for everyone in the country, but also to try to sustain a relationship and build bridges with all our allies, especially those from Europe and to use that to get the best deals for the UK.
2. To be a spineless coward and make a deal with the one person that will promise the Earth and deliver nothing, and the same person who almost the entire world is trying to ignore on the political stage.
I predicted she would choose option 2 the last time she met Trump, in that regard, I suppose she hasn't disappointed. Pathetic, spineless, hopeless leader who just sold her soul and the countries dignity out of sheer desperation. It WILL backfire on her. She should have learned that her cosying with Trump before was one of the main reasons she and the Tories did so badly in the election.
Trump:
I've got a terrific plan, believe me. I call it Trump University.
Hillary:
Education should be the great door opener, and yet we know it often doesn’t turn out that way. I think every child in this country deserves a good teacher in a good school, regardless of the ZIP code you live in.

Strong public education is the key to preparing our children for the future.
Education should be the great door opener, and yet we know it often doesn’t turn out that way. I think every child in this country deserves a good teacher in a good school, regardless of the ZIP code you live in.
Hillary, March 10, 2016
Hillary Clinton believes that every child, no matter his or her background, should be guaranteed a high-quality education. That’s why she has been working to improve and support our public schools for decades, but our work isn’t done. Hillary will ensure that every child can fulfill his or her God-given potential.
As president, Hillary will:
- Launch a national campaign to modernize and elevate the profession of teaching. America is asking more of our educators than ever before. They are preparing our kids for a competitive economy, staying on top of new pedagogies, and filling gaps that we as a country have neglected—like giving low-income kids, English-language learners, and kids with disabilities the support they need to thrive. We ask so much of our educators, but we aren’t setting them up for success. That’s why Hillary will launch a national campaign to elevate and modernize the teaching profession, by preparing, supporting, and paying every child’s teacher as if the future of our country is in their hands—because it is.
- Provide every student in America an opportunity to learn computer science. There are more than half a million open jobs that require computing skills—across the country and in every major industry. But the majority of schools in the United States don’t offer computer science. Hillary will provide states and school districts funding to help scale computer science instruction and lesson programs that improve student achievement or increase college enrollment and completion in CS Ed fields.
- Rebuild America’s schools. In cities and rural communities across America, there are public schools that are falling apart—schools where students are learning in classrooms with rodents and mold. That’s unacceptable, and it has to change. That’s why Hillary will build on the highly successful Build America Bonds program to provide cities and towns the capital they need to rebuild their schools. These “Modernize Every School Bonds” will double the Build America Bonds subsidy for efforts to fix and modernize America’s classrooms—from increasing energy efficiency and tackling asbestos to upgrading science labs and high-speed broadband.
- Dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline. Schools should be safe places for students to learn and grow. But in too many communities, student discipline is overly harsh—and these harsh measures disproportionately affect African American students and those with the greatest economic, social, and academic needs. Hillary will work to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline by providing $2 billion in support to schools to reform overly punitive disciplinary policies, calling on states to reform school disturbance laws, and encouraging states to use federal education funding to implement social and emotional support interventions.
- As a young law student working for Marian Wright Edelman, Hillary went undercover to investigate “segregation academies” in Alabama.
- As first lady of Arkansas, she chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Commission, fighting to raise academic standards, increase teacher salaries, and reduce class sizes.
- As first lady of the United States, she chaired the first-ever convening on Hispanic children and youth, which focused on improving access to educational opportunities.
- As a U.S. senator, she served on the Senate Health, Education and Labor Committee, as a key member shaping the No Child Left Behind Act, with the hope that it would bring needed resources and real accountability to improve educational opportunities for our most disadvantaged students.
Hillary, June 22, 2016
Hillary has a comprehensive plan to put higher education within reach for all Americans, and take on the crisis of student debt.

How will Hillary Clinton's college plan help you?
Here’s what every student and family should expect under Hillary’s plan:
Costs won’t be a barrier
- Every student should have the option to graduate from a public college or university in their state without taking on any student debt. By 2021, families with income up to $125,000 will pay no tuition at in-state four-year public colleges and universities. And from the beginning, every student from a family making $85,000 a year or less will be able to go to an in-state four-year public college or university without paying tuition.
- All community colleges will offer free tuition.
- Everyone will do their part. States will have to step up and invest in higher education, and colleges and universities will be held accountable for the success of their students and for controlling tuition costs.
- A $25 billion fund will support historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and other minority-serving institutions in building new ladders of opportunity for students. Read Hillary’s agenda to support HBCUs and minority-focused institutions here.
- The one-quarter of all college students who are also parents will get the support they need and the resources they deserve. Read more about Hillary’s plan to support student parents here.
Debt won’t hold you back
- Borrowers will be able to refinance loans at current rates, providing debt relief to an estimated 25 million people. They’ll never have to pay back more than 10 percent of their income, and all remaining college debt will be forgiven after 20 years.
- Delinquent borrowers and those in default will get help to protect their credit and get back on their feet.
- To reduce the burden for future borrowers, Hillary will significantly cut interest rates so the government never profits from college student loans.
- Hillary’s plan will crack down on predatory schools, lenders, and bill collectors.
- A new payroll deduction portal for employers and employees will simplify the repayment process—and Hillary will explore more options to encourage employers to help pay down student debt.
- Aspiring entrepreneurs will be able to defer their loans with no payments or interest for up to three years. Social entrepreneurs and those starting new enterprises in distressed communities will be eligible for up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness.
- Hillary will take immediate executive action to offer a three-month moratorium on student loan payments to all federal loan borrowers. That will give every borrower a chance to consolidate their loans, sign up for income-based repayment plans, and take advantage of opportunities to reduce their monthly interest payments and fees.
Fully paid for: This plan will be fully paid for by limiting certain tax expenditures for high-income taxpayers.
Why do you think that the agreement has different targets for the U.S. and China?
Trump: I'll repeal and replace the disaster known as Obamacare on day 1. We've got an incredible plan, believe me.
Clinton:
As your president, I want to build on the progress we’ve made. I’ll do more to bring down health care costs for families, ease burdens on small businesses, and make sure consumers have the choices they deserve. And frankly, it is finally time for us to deal with the skyrocketing out-of-pocket health costs, and particularly runaway prescription drug prices.
Hillary, September 21, 2015
Hillary Clinton has led and will continue to lead the fight to expand health care access for every American—even when it means standing up to special interests. When insurance companies spent millions to stop her efforts to reform health care in the ’90s, she refused to give up. Instead, she worked across the aisle to help pass the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Today, it covers 8 million kids. She has never given up on the fight for universal coverage.
As president, Hillary will:
- Defend and expand the Affordable Care Act, which covers 20 million people. Hillary will stand up to Republican-led attacks on this landmark law—and build on its success to bring the promise of affordable health care to more people and make a “public option” possible. She will also support letting people over 55 years old buy into Medicare.
- Bring down out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles. American families are being squeezed by rising out-of-pocket health care costs. Hillary believes that workers should share in slower growth of national health care spending through lower costs.
- Reduce the cost of prescription drugs. Prescription drug spending accelerated from 2.5 percent in 2013 to 12.6 percent in 2014. It’s no wonder that almost three-quarters of Americans believe prescription drug costs are unreasonable. Hillary believes we need to demand lower drug costs for hardworking families and seniors. Read more here.
- Protect consumers from unjustified prescription drug price increases from companies that market long-standing, life-saving treatments and face little or no competition. Hillary’s plan includes new enforcement tools that make drug alternatives available and increase competition, broaden emergency access to high-quality treatments from developed countries with strong safety standards, and hold drug companies accountable for unjustified price increases with new penalties. Read more here.
- Fight for health insurance for the lowest-income Americans in every state by incentivizing states to expand Medicaid—and make enrollment through Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act easier.
- Expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status. Hillary will expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status by allowing families to buy health insurance on the health exchanges regardless of their immigration status.
- Expand access to rural Americans, who often have difficulty finding quality, affordable health care. Hillary will explore cost-effective ways to make more health care providers eligible for telehealth reimbursement under Medicare and other programs, including federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics.
- Defend access to reproductive health care. Hillary will work to ensure that all women have access to preventive care, affordable contraception, and safe and legal abortion.
- Double funding for community health centers, and support the healthcare workforce: As part of her comprehensive health care agenda, Hillary is committed to doubling the funding for primary-care services at community health centers over the next decade. Hillary also supports President Obama’s call for a near tripling of the size of the National Health Service Corps.
Trump: I've got a great tax plan, believe me.
Clinton:
It’s outrageous that multi-millionaires and billionaires are allowed to play by a different set of rules than hardworking families, especially when it comes to paying their fair share of taxes.
Hillary, January 11, 2016
Hillary Clinton believes that we need an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. But when it comes to taxes, too often the wealthiest and the largest corporations are playing by a different set of rules than hardworking families.
Hillary is committed to restoring basic fairness in our tax code and ensuring that the wealthiest Americans and large corporations pay their fair share, while providing tax relief to working families. That’s not only fair, it’s good for economic growth, because she will use the proceeds to create good-paying jobs here in America—and make bold investments that leave our economy more competitive over the long run.
As president, Hillary will:
- Restore basic fairness to our tax code.Hillary will implement a “fair share surcharge” on multi-millionaires and billionaires and fight for measures like the Buffett Rule to ensure the wealthiest Americans do not pay a lower tax rate than hardworking middle-class families. She’ll close loopholes that create a private tax system for the most fortunate, and she’ll ensure multi-million-dollar estates are paying their fair share of taxes. Read the fact sheet.
- Close corporate and Wall Street tax loopholes and invest in America.Hillary will close tax loopholes like inversions that reward companies for shifting profits and jobs overseas. She will charge an “exit tax” for companies leaving the U.S. to settle up on their untaxed foreign earnings. She will close tax loopholes that let Wall Street money managers pay lower rates than some middle-class families. And she’ll reward businesses that invest in good-paying jobs here in the United States. Read the fact sheet.
- Simplify and cut taxes for small businesses so they can hire and grow.The smallest businesses, with one to five employees, spend 150 hours and $1,100 per employee on federal tax compliance. That’s more than 20 times higher than the average for far larger firms. We’ve got to fix that.
- Provide tax relief to working families from the rising costs they face. For too many years, middle-class families have been squeezed by rising costs for everything from child care to health care to affording college. Hillary will offer relief from these rising costs, including tax relief for Americans facing excessive out-of-pocket health care costs and for those caring for an ill or elderly family member.
- Pay for ambitious investments in a fiscally responsible way. Hillary believes that we can afford to pay for ambitious, progressive investments in good-paying jobs, debt-free college, and other measures to strengthen growth, broaden opportunity, and reduce inequality. Hillary will use the proceeds from ensuring the wealthiest and the largest corporations pay their fair share to pay for these investments without adding to the debt
There we are. Her policy on your 3 items. This result had nothing to do with policy. Perhaps they didn't believe her but they've voted for one of America's biggest liars with a long standing track record of screwing over individuals and small businesses. They are in for a rude awakening when reality sets in that the US can't compete in manufacturing and the GOP don't care about your life once you exit the womb.
Actually, the Clinton campign published an entire book full of what they were promising the American people.
I took the time to read it. Did you?
those posts are dumb as hell. you posted the shortest comment you could find from trump and quoted hillarys entire platform from her website. not even worth responding to further.
