^lol good ol Pocahontas

where is jtoler?

he knows she endorsed Trump but he keeps running from admitting it





learn to read then since I never said you were. The fact that you're ignorant to her platform is the important part which is why you made yourself looking foolish with your post.

Again, who said they were going after predatory pricing? You're not fooling anyone by not answering you sheep. Go make up some more lies.

I don't lie. I'm not ignorant to her platform.
You still haven't answered whether you are for the free market.

CNN exit polls indicated that Obama won 93% of the black vote in 2012 over Romney.

So now you're suggesting that Hillary will be outperforming Obama with the black vote, to net herself something like 95% of the black vote?

Just a helpful suggestion, but if you don't stop drinking the media's Kool-Aid you're gonna split your pantsuit.

Exit polling shows 5-7% black vote for Romney. Might Hillary do slightly worse? Sure, 85-90% wouldn't be surprising....but that doesn't add up to 30-40% for Trump as you claim

Thinking 5% will turn into 30-40% 'just cause' is drinking the kool-aid; making assumptions in line with the evidence is not

Dwight caught cherry picking his info again.
The actual reason for the decrease was because bears have learned to use the car door handles.




True story.

Doubt I've read more than a couple NY times articles this year, but reality doesn't change just because it's reported on by a biased source. Again, I'm not assuming 5%, but given what we know there's no reason to expect it to be much more, and certainly not 30-40% . No Republican has gotten more than 15% of the black vote since Nixon ran in '60.....and Trump's worse than Nixon, which is saying something. But hey, don't let those facts stop you from believing whatever you want for the next couple months

<header class="entry-header"> Report: Clinton Emailed Classified Information After She Left State Dept

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sent classified information over email after leaving the State Department, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

On May 28, 2013, months after stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton sent an email to a group of diplomats and top aides about the “123 Deal” with the United Arab Emirates.
But the email, which was obtained by the Republican National Committee through a Freedom of Information Act request, was heavily redacted upon its release by the State Department because it contains classified information.

The recipients of Clinton’s email included Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, State Department Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, policy aide Jake Sullivan, Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and multiple diplomats.
Clinton used an email account–hrod17@clintonemail.com–that has been linked to Clinton’s private email server. The markings on the email reveal that it will be declassified on May 28, 2033, because it contains information regarding “foreign governors” and “foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources.”
“Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information was so pervasive, it continued after she left government,” Republican National Committee research director Raj Shah told the New York Post. “She clearly can’t be trusted with our nation’s security.”
FBI Director James Comey called Clinton “extremely careless” last month because of how she handed sensitive, classified information with her private email server.

I think Polls are crap, how can anyone rate or chart out who all the people are gonna vote for when the people didn't vote yet or weren't questioned in regards to that poll?..

I bet everyone one posting on this thread didn't give out poll information as to whom they were voting for...

Trump is probably leading and we don't even know it... The guy is the X factor after all, and all the experts were wrong about Trump thus far.

Thor I don't have the time for your crap but I'll make it for you one last time.. I'm generous like that..

Does this thread ring a bell in the MMA section? You just posted in it today, right next to the event thread.. Lol... You're a funny little man Thor.. You actually make me laugh now... http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/boxing-mma-ufc-betting/3290748-future-fights-thread-p7.html

What in the world does that thread have to do with what we were talking about? Keep trying Jibby. lol

yes he was a genius. He knew that the us govt should not be in the banking business going against hamilton. He was afraid of allowing banks get to strong(on govt role) vs the public interest. That is why Reagan allowing monopolies. It is why the graham-bliley -leach law allowed the american people to be set up by wall street. If i'm allowed to allow you to invest without the capital to back it up that is a crime and to expect the people to fund the "insurance" to cover it is a shame. The worst part is congress passed into law that we will cover the next time they do this. These guys also tried to do that with death policies which was shut down.

Pundits, creative polling, and messageboard parrots act like the election is over.

Meanwhile Hillary's campaign, who truly know the most, have been taking panic-mode actions when her m.o. is to run the clock out with a lead. They're realizing something the MotherJones crowd does not detect.

Following up on a story we’ve been following, it was just four years ago when Mitt Romney chose to float a provocative idea on Veterans’ Day. “Sometimes you wonder,” the Republican asked, “would there be some way to introduce some private sector competition” into veterans’ care?

A spokesperson for Veterans of Foreign Wars very quickly made clear the VFW “doesn’t support privatization of veterans’ health care,” and Romney backpedaled soon after, saying he was just kicking around a hypothetical scenario he didn’t intend to pursue.

THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW, 5/12/16, 10:16 PM ET
Trump tempts backlash with attack on VA

</article>
A lot has changed since 2012. As Rachel notedon the show last night, privatization of veterans’ care is back as a Republican priority, as this Wall Street Journal report yesterday helped prove.

Donald Trump says the Department of Veterans Affairs’ health-care system is badly broken, and this week his campaign released some guidelines that would steer changes he would implement if he wins the presidency.

While short on details, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee would likely push VA health care toward privatization and might move for it to become more of an insurance provider like Medicare rather than an integrated hospital system, said Sam Clovis, Mr. Trump’s chief policy adviser, in an interview.

Clovis told the newspaper, “We want quality care top to bottom. If that means we have some form of privatization or some form of Medicare, we don’t see anything wrong with that.”

Veterans, however, tend to have a very different opinion on the matter.


It’s worth emphasizing that this isn’t just Trump. As we’ve documented, several other 2016 Republican presidential contenders included at least partial VA privatization plans in their platforms – Ben Carsonwent so far as to say, “We don’t need a Department of Veterans Affairs” – despite the VA’s record of excellence, and the fact that the VA system as a whole “outperforms the rest of the health care system by just about every metric. Surveys also show that veterans give VA hospitals and clinics a higher customer satisfaction than patients give private-sector hospitals.”

Trump, however, is the party’s presumptive nominee. The fact that his campaign doesn’t “see anything wrong” with “some form of privatization” raises its significance considerably.

If you missed last night’s segment on this, it’s worth your time.

I actually don't sleep well and it's funny that you mentioned that d2bets.. .

As I'm getting older (mid 40's) I continue to still work out like a 20 year old and I get sore more often then I use to, makes for restless nights, alot of tossing and turning to get comfortable.. It sucks!!!

As far as this election goes, I don't lose sleep over this crap.. My little one vote or posts on this forum isn't gonna make a difference. I never liked politics to be honest, I stay informed though, concerned about the direction this country is heading in but I really try not to get sucked into it or get to emotional about it all..

I'll speak my mind though and cast my vote that's it.. You guys should do the same if you are Republican or Democratic. Worrying in life is the biggest wasted emotion. Last I check worrying about things never made things change.

Did you not understand the answer? " idk, haven't read it " ... I do see headlines, from what I see he wants to be a baseball pro, and I'd imagine you are talking about him visiting a gay friend ... Don't dance around with misdirecting statements... You got something to say dude...say it.

I don't pay attention to much to personal lives of athletes, but I hear he's Christian ... That's good, especially for the kids who look up to these types... But let him start talking how we talk about banks and government with the lime light he has ...he will soon find himself off the radar, truth is not welcome to the public. Either support the circus, or find that talent & abilities mean nothing to those who control it...

[JIBBBY]

Tebow is a good guy.

Tebow is a really good dude.. Sucks at pro sports but a great guy, good Christian man looking to help others, girls all dig him too..

Isn't he trying baseball now or something? I don't know the latest on him???.. Canadian football league perhaps???..

Canadian football league is kinda like the D league for NBA... AAA for baseball... If ya can't cut the grade in the NFL and are cut, agents immediately call the Canadian football league is my guess...
