    Imagine making an unflattering statue of a naked Erdogan for unauthorized display in Istanbul. Imagine doing this to Putin. As far as setting the example of democracy for the world, I think this is the perfect case. Someone publicly ridiculed one of the most powerful people in the country and nothing bad happened to him, and our nation is as strong as ever, regardless. Autocrats in fake democracies abroad wouldn't tolerate this kind of free speech. That's kinda why we have a problem with them. We can do this, and we can call Obama a secret Muslim communist, and we can call Clinton a traitor, and liken Dick Cheney to Darth Vader, and genuinely have absolutely no fear of official reprisal. That's actual democracy. We can also have civil conversations and we can vote. We probably can't really do those things freely though if we're afraid to make ugly naked statues of political candidates though.

    Who else here is expecting Trump to have some random talk to FOX news soon about how big Trump's unit is.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he releases a dick pick.

    Come on y'all, we just need to act more European and everything will be ok. #bemorelikeeurope

    [rQUOTEr]German conservatives call for partial ban on face veil

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives have agreed that women should be banned from wearing the face veil in schools and universities and while driving, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said on Friday.

    It's a weak troll job that ignores the reality that there is more to being European than banning face veils. Moreover it is based on reducing a policy position to a simplistic cartoon slogan no one advocates. You down with socializing healthcare and expanding labor rules further, too? I am sure there is negotiable space there somewhere in your quest to be more European.

    I for one reject the effort to be more European by involving political advisors who work for pro-Russian parties to influence my government to take pro-Russian policy stances.

    This got to be a RocketsLegend alt account.

    Also lol at thinking a wall will stop drugs coming in the US. There's still air and naval passages. Also tunnels or just launching it over the wall.

    Trump is not tweeting about the Olympics because it doesn't fit his narrative. He would have to admit America is still and always has been "Great".

    Well the media did report right?

    Do you know why the Obama campaign had to resort to that?

    Trump keeps asking for the African American vote, but does so in a community with less than 2% blacks???

    Not going to get the vote that way....

    Now the Trump camp has figured out they need more than his little circle to win this thing...

    He want get the Black vote with what he's doing and how he's doing it...

    His surrogates have no ideal of how to even approach the AFRICAN AMERICAN'S as he calls it...

    It looks like having a 98% all white crowd while talking about African-Americans is his new winning strategy. I do look forward to watching Trump grovel for the black vote as his white supremacist supporters look on in disbelief.
