    That could be, but that isn't really the same as uncovering anything except false stories.

    U mean Malik who is Obama's half-brother? The guy who supports Trump and Khadafy?

    No disrespect, but I think Malik is very smart about "making this world a better place."

    Thank God! The Trumpers will not shoot us, in that case.

    Trump just took over a 9 point lead in the swing state of New Hampshire. Obama won this state by 5. If New Hampshire is a 9+ point margin for Trump, you have to assume Iowa is in the bag and Wisconsin and even Michigan are in play. Trump winning those states would create not just a win, but a landslide with a mandate.

    Since Piers Morgan is wrong about just about everything, this doesn't look good for Trump.

    Even though more known/respected polls have Clinton ahead, I suppose its possible that Trump might have eeked ahead after the GOP convention. But what made the poll especially suspect... it had crazytrain Kelly Ayotte also polling ahead of Maggie Hassan. Ayotte has also been polling behind in the real polls and its been a bad month for her over fibs she has made about her support of gun purchase background checks.

    Since the guy likes to lie, I wouldn't put it past him that there was no dirt on Obama but a chaufer and coke driven bisexual limo ride.

    But producing an embarassing yet lying sauce can be damaging in any sense.

    Yes, an "insider" or embarassment like Roger Clinton that can go full Fredo.

    Donald Trump supports raising federal minimum wage to $10

    That Bernie guy.

    Oh, and he's so trolling the Republican. LOL at the bold part.

    Another ringing endorsement:


    [rquoter]
    North Korea says Trump isn't screwy at all, a wise choice for president

    North Korea has backed presumptive U.S. Republican nominee Donald Trump, with a propaganda website praising him as "a prescient presidential candidate" who can liberate Americans living under daily fear of nuclear attack by the North.

    A column carried on Tuesday by DPRK Today, one of the reclusive and dynastic state's mouthpieces, described Trump as a "wise politician" and the right choice for U.S. voters in the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election.

    It described his most likely Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, as "thick-headed Hillary" over her proposal to apply the Iran model of wide sanctions to resolve the nuclear weapons issue on the Korean peninsula.

    Trump instead has told Reuters he was prepared to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program, and that China should also help solve the problem.

    North Korea, known officially as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is under U.N. sanctions over its past nuclear tests. South Korea and the United States say its calls for dialogue are meaningless until it takes steps to end its nuclear ambitions.

    DPRK Today also said Trump's suggestion that the United States should pull its troops from South Korea until Seoul pays more was the way to achieve Korean unification.

    "It turns out that Trump is not the rough-talking, screwy, ignorant candidate they say he is, but is actually a wise politician and a prescient presidential candidate," said the column, written by a China-based Korean scholar identified as Han Yong Muk.

    DPRK Today is among a handful of news sites run by the isolated North, although its content is not always handled by the main state-run media.

    It said promising to resolve issues on the Korean peninsula through "negotiations and not war" was the best option for America, which it said is "living every minute and second on pins and needles in fear of a nuclear strike" by North Korea.

    The North has for years called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the South as the first step toward peace on the Korean peninsula and demanded Washington sign a peace treaty to replace the truce that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.

    Its frequently strident rhetoric also often threatens nuclear strikes against South Korea and the United States.

    Trump and Pence are blanketing the Midwest this week, with stops in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Michael Moore (!) had an interesting piece recently that stated that Trump's strategy would be to go after these states, and winning them means he doesn't even need Florida to get to 270 electoral votes. I find this interesting in the sense that for the last several cycles, Republicans have obsessed over the Latino vote... Trump is pursuing an electoral strategy that does not rely on the Latino vote in any significant way. When the establishment Republican party cringed over Trump's border wall commentary, perhaps they were a few steps behind the new game? My post here speaks to the electoral strategy shift only -- it's not a commentary on immigration policy.

    It's a forced gamble. The GOP would have hope Trump wouldn't go as far as he did to hedge their bets but that's out the window now.

    They have now boxed themselves in and now have to chase independent whites who have usually voted Dem.

    Will they be able to do it? Who will snatch up Hispanics and blacks?
