Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 08-11-2016
Not to mention that Paul Ryan, Republican Speaker of the House, said that it seemed to be a bad attempt at a joke but it was something that shouldn't be joked about. In other words, he thought he was joking about assassination and wasn't talking about 2A people voting. Pity he didn't get the talking points in time!
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 08-11-2016
Yet another example of Lods' point about Trump's foot-in-mouth comments taking the attention away from Hillary.
Yesterday, Hillary was embarrassed by the Orlando shooter's father appearing in shot behind her at a Florida rally. Instead of just letting her twist in the wind, he just had to go on the offensive at one of his own rallies. You'd think that he'd make sure that no dodgy characters were behind him when he pointed at the in-shot crowd behind him and boasted that he knew a lot of them. But no. He had a guy who said he had been a friend of Trump's for 30 years sitting in pretty much the same relative position as Mateen's father. And that guy was forced to resign in disgrace from Congress because he was sexting Congressional pages, of whom some were underaged boys!
Why in hell would he draw attention to a paedophile supporter?
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - cookie2 - 08-12-2016
Hillary: "It's time to have a woman in the White House!"
Bill: "Been there, done that!"
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - cookie2 - 08-12-2016
Trump has to be insane or he doesn't want the gig or both. ???

I'll go for both
It was a joke of his that's gone too far. ;D
It reminds me of that Malthouse/ McGuire meme where Eddie says..."We've done it Mick', we've ruined Carlton"
I can see Hillary saying to Trump...."Wéve done it Donald, We've destroyed the Republican party!" >
On another note...there may be a wild card that's about to impact on this contest.
With the world's attention on the Olympics the Russians have accused the Ukrainians of causing a bit of strife in Crimea.
As a result the Ukrainian forces have gone on to a high alert.
With the uncertainty surrounding the Presidential race it would be an opportune time for the Russians to "try something on" in the weeks and months ahead.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - cookie2 - 08-12-2016
@Lods
On the other hand Lods the West is currently putting a bit of pressure on both the Russians and Chinese. We all know about what's happening at the Olympics but this Ukraine thing should be regarded with some skepticism. Also, in the last few days we've seen ScoMo suddenly pull the plug on the Chinese bid for the NSW electricity grid without much elaboration. Meanwhile, in the UK the Chinese bid to build a nuclear power station (in partnership with a French company) has suddenly been put under a high degree of scrutiny.
Convenient timing?

Possibly but...
Quote:The Russo-Georgian War was a war between Georgia, Russia and the Russian-backed self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The war took place in August 2008 following a period of worsening relations between Russia and Georgia, both formerly constituent republics of the Soviet Union.....Russia accused Georgia of "aggression against South Ossetia", and launched a large-scale land, air and sea invasion of Georgia on 8 August
Quote:The 2008 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and commonly known as Beijing 2008, was a major international multi-sport event that took place in Beijing, China, from 8 to 24 August 2008.
These guys have form
(BTW also a Presidential election year)

The Soviets also invaded Afghanistan on Xmas Day in 1979.

There's plenty of "form" on both sides

It's a bit embarrassing when you do a google search and find you've used the same terminology as a journo but.... :-[

Quote:There are other propitious circumstances this summer. The presidential election is paralysing the US, and the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, has hinted that as president he might recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea. He seems uncertain as to where Ukraine actually is.
