First Bernie, now Hilary ...

Today's Hilary Clinton campaign event was interrupted by a group of protesters chanting "Hell you talkin' 'bout?" Clinton deferred to the protesters for 60 seconds, then tried talking over them for the next 10 minutes, then summoned her imperial guards to remove them.

I just lost 33 IQ points in the last 11 minutes.

About how the candidates sound anyways.

11 minutes? Way too long. A leader need to be able to take back the situation at a moment's notice!

No argument there Saxi

[mrswdk]

Probably much better to let people say whatever they want and get themselves and a bunch of police massacred in a comic book's headquarters.

[saxitoxin]

No argument there Saxi

Clinton and the USA support the Butcher of Saada, Salman al-Saud, who is a hundred times worse than the worst your cartoonish imaginings are about President Putin. The slightest peep out of you about Putin becomes a giant hyprocricy.

[mrswdk]

We could all learn from the Chinese and the British here. A sovereign state's internal affairs are its own business - it is not for us to poke or pry! ^0^

Too funny, you and Saxi make me laugh.

The entire Saudi regime and its crazy Wasabi fundamentalism is a child of American meddling. The legitimate rulers of Arabia are the Hashaemites. American oil barons engineered the Saudi usurpation in order to screw Britain out of the Persian Gulf. How can America turn its back on its love child? For the U.S. to betray the Saudis would be like for Cher to disown Chastity.

When Europe rises again and tells the Americans to get the f*ck back to their side of the Atlantic, one piece of unfinished business we will take care of will be to expel the Saudis and return the crown of Arabia to the Hashaemite. Then Arabia's 80+ year Dark Age will end and it will start slowly catching up to the real world.

In the meantime, while the Saudis may be more evil in their hearts, the damage they do is limited to their own people. Russia can project power globally and can potentially destroy life on earth. If Putin succeeds in his drive to restore the Russian Empire to its fullest extent that could mean 300 or 400 million people enslaved. So, while his government might not be quite as inhumane as the Saudis on a per capita basis, it is certainly more dangerous in the aggregate.

[riskllama]

even his hands look creepy...

[saxitoxin]

When Europe rises again ...

Yeah, yeah, we've been hearing that for the last 25 years. Wake me when it happens.

In the meantime, while the Saudis may be more evil in their hearts, the damage they do is limited to their own people.

Tell that to the Yemenis, whom the Saudis are busy bombing into oblivion. Or Bahraini protesters against whom Saudi Arabia unleashed mechanized infantry. Or to the Syrians and Iraqis who are suffering under an ISIS financed by Saudi princes. Tell that to India, who is sitting next door to a basket case (Pakistan), that has atom bombs the Saudis paid to build.

(What if I substituted "Yemen" with "Latvia," and "Bahrain" with "Denmark," would you feel differently?)

1 - 'we'
2 - like the British or French have any desire whatsoever to overthrow the Saudi royal family

[Bernie Sanders]

As America is fast becoming energy independent....we will let Europe, China and the rest of the energy importers deal with Saudi Arabia.



Russian power will erode with their economy. Heck, Russia has a hard time just keeping "half" their attack jets and helicopters flying in Syria.

The foreign powers will miss American involvement in the Middle East [our treasure and blood] and the rest of the world will have to pay more to keep the oil flowing.

Ben Carson Admits He Lied About Getting Into West Point -

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Friday conceded that he never applied nor was granted admission to West Point and attempted to recast his previous claims of a full scholarship to the military academy — despite numerous public and written statements to the contrary over the last few decades.

West Point has occupied a central place in Carson’s personal story for years. According to a tale told in his book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by the offer of a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

Carson is getting caught in an avalanche of false stories AND NOW THIS

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/05/politics/ ... ids-grain/

[saxitoxin]

This gets more hilarious ... Politico did a follow-up -

• 1: Carson replied that he probably misspoke (in 3 different books) and he didn't actually get accepted to West Point but was told by Chief of Staff Gen. William Westmoreland that he "could" get into West Point. Carson said this occurred at a recognition dinner Westmoreland attended in Detroit for outstanding high school students at which Carson was at in 1969.
  
  2: Politico checked Westmoreland's schedule for the date in question and, according to it, Westmoreland spent the day playing tennis in Washington, DC and was nowhere near Detroit. So Carson lied to get out of his lie.
  
  3: In response, Carson went on Christian Broadcasting Network two-hours ago and declared the "liberal media" was trying smear him. (Incredibly, a double-digit percentage of the U.S. will actually never hear about Carson's lies, but just hear the words "the liberal media is trying to smear me" and get out the checkbooks.)

So yeah, turns out Carson is just a lying draft-dodger. So what do lying draft dodgers believe, you ask? This is what Carson has said:

• - "We must always stand with Israel and her people."
  - "I believe we need to stand-up to him [Putin]."

Carson, just another traitor cunningly using the U.S. flag as a prop.

[mrswdk]

He doesn't look like the sort of person I'd trust.

What was his success record as a brain surgeon?

His last brain operation was on GoranZ....that's when Dr. Carson called it quits.
