    Thank you for posting the link that shows how much free advertising the media has given Trump.

    Sadly his supporters have a victim's mentality and will always see themselves as victims even when they are beneficiaries.

    Everyone says we should be more like Europe and care more about what Europeans thinks of Donald Trump.

    [rQUOTEr]Burkini ban: Women forced off beach and fined for wearing swimsuit

    Ten women have been forced off the beach in the French town of Cannes after the criticised “burkini” ban – forbidding head-to-toe swimsuits – came into force. Four of the women were fined €36 (£32), while all of them were told to leave the beach area after being spotted by authorities. The ban was imposed earlier in August by Mayor David Lisnard, who said that the garments were a “symbol of Islamic extremism” and “not respectful of good morals and secularism”.

    what does that mean? you want to abolish the free press? jail them? beat them up? kill them?

    these trump-supporters are so anti-american and their leader is stoking the fire...calling for beating up protesters, shutting down the press, claiming that if he loses the elections were rigged.

    im truly concerned about how his dim-witted followers are going to act after he loses. trump has convinced them that the fix is in...these people are so brainwashed and stupid that they actually think its the medias fault that trump is seen so negatively by decent, thoughtful americans.

    You can now volunteer to be a Trump election "observer"

    My understanding is that the only requirement is that you wear a brown shirt..................................

    - (of a person or thing) having similar qualities or characteristics to another person or thing.

    This doesn't mean ALL. Is it the good ol American pride that's keeping us from admitting that we are NOT perfect? That there are certain positive traits from all over the world that we can adopt in our culture?

    More Europeaners are calling for fullbody-veil bans. Oh heavens, when will we ever learn to be more "European"?

    [rQUOTEr]Austrian politicians call for a ban on full body veil

    Austrian conservative politicians called for a ban on full body veils on Thursday, saying the veils would hinder women to integrate into the mainly Catholic Austrian society.

    Saw Kellyanne Conway on CBSN. She did a better than the usual Trump spox of job of presenting Trump without the aggressive bluster, lying, and defensiveness that characterizes Trump spox. It was a softball interview but she gave answers that sounded like a professional. We will see how she manages once Trump is back out in public opening his mouth. If Trump doesn't giver her stuff to "clarify" she is gonna do a fine job.

    Looks like the Trump campaign may be about to become a legitimate campaign -- one that takes polls seriously, uses data to target voters, runs ads, tries to develop a ground game, etc..

    We will also have to see how Bannon's influence plays out. I firmly believe there are people so tied to partisan lines that they just need Trump to stop reminding them why they shouldn't vote for him. I am not sure Trump can or even wants to do that. TrumpNews would be way better for his pocket book that a presidency.

    It's almost as every civilization ever has had some good ideas and some bad ideas.

    You're the one that said "Europeaner", which is not an English word.

    Wow! That looks just like Donald Trump!

    I wish that statue sat in Zilker Park so the birds could poop on it, or over by the Congress Avenue Bridge, so that the millions of bats that pour out from under the bridge every evening could poop on it, or on the university side of The Drag so that tens of thousands of Grackles could poop on it.

    That statue looks just like Donald Trump and should to be pooped on in order to show just what the world thinks of Mr. Trump and his little hands, and his tiny penis.

    Oh, and someone's image is too freakin' big.

    Funny. I'm disappointed though that -- apart from Cleveland -- they picked the 4 biggest bastions of liberal elitism they could think of to put these statues in. I probably would have done New York (it is the biggest city, after all, and Trump's hometown), Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, and Atlanta.
