    Only a hump fanatic would believe that. Hey, take a page from his own book and ask yourself "what is he hiding?". What he's hiding (as strongly hinted at in his own smirking debate comment) is that he didn't pay any taxes - or far from his fair share - which leaves his bill to the rest of us. A well established pattern for the Fraud-Prince. Ask those contractors he wouldn't pay, thus creating jobs, somehow, by putting them out of business. Or perhaps that he probably makes lots of money from overseas investments in companies that put Americans out of work. Or has more business dealing with Putin then he'd care to admit to. But what is he afraid of? Obviously, the truth. That, of course, is well established as his relationship with the truth is only coincidental and certainly rare.

        The disconnected improvs of a disordered mind connected to the loose manic mouth of a rabid sociopathic, racist, sexist, violent, clown with ADHD are as meaningful as the pus in a wound. But, the wound, its depth, its severity, the inertia to heal: that's very important. Yes, the extreme economic dislocation/disparity, the deep wounds in the body politic that enabled a wanna-be tyrant ... whose rise to national center-stage has much in common with the rise of Adolf Hitler ... by hook and crook to lie their way to front-and-center of Corporate Occupied MallBurgerland's political circus: well, yes, that is worth paying attention to; it may well, indeed, be that an epic singularity in American political life and economic future approaches due to the changing nature of work, and labor. And, if that future includes a madman with fingers on the nuclear-launch buttons ? As Yeats put it ("The Second Coming," 1919):

          Hi Brisingr, during the US Presidential circus debate on the 26th. the clown named Donald Trump suggested that the hacks of the Democratic party organization might have been a 400 pound hacker lying in bed: [^].

          I thought he said it could've been a guy lying in a 400 pound bed, but this makes more sense, why would a hacker need a 400lb bed anyway? To barricade the door when the police tries to break in? Personally I'd rather be a 400lb hacker than a 200lb bag of hot air.

            He made the correct comment - based upon the thread that followed yours (before this post) with his supporters falling all over themselves to somehow make yet another of his rants of absurd comments sound like the reasoning of a sage. What's that expression? "You Gotta' Believe" - - - - - - I am particularly amused that they, in saying "they got nothing on him" choose to ignore his pay-off of the Florida attorney general with his foundation funds - those that were left after he paid to have his own portrait painted (reminds me of Saddam Husein and his portraits) and using another hunk of the charitable donations to pay off fines on his properties. Where are those tax forms? IRS audit almost through, so now he's passing the onus on Hillary so you can still stone-wall. Or perhaps the racist policies for hiring and renting which (check the transcripts) he justified by saying other companies were doing it too. He was right all along:   He could shoot someone in cold blood in the middle of the street and his supporters would overlook it (or blame Obama).

              It's Hellarious that you think that would show on a tax return. Seriously, stop having your parents do your tax return and just go look at one sometime. Do you have a 401k? If so, you possibly could be investing in the same companies. Dude, you really have no clue at all what you are saying, do you.

              Well, yes - because what Hillary did was to be accused by the GOPigs - much as you embrace ignoring that there was nothing illegal done. After all, why the hell do you care about facts? You can always call it a cover-up and sleep soundly knowing that reality will never invade your private space. Worry more about why the Hump foundation paid money to FL attorney general's campaign and she suddenly dropped the fraud investigation. Sing that song for a while if you want to find turds under the rug or continue pretending he's not used a charitable foundation for a slush fund . . . a slush fund that implicitly launders money from 'donors' (of which he's not been one for at least 8 years) so he can pay his fines. Why in the world, oh champion of justice that you are, can you ignore these? Actually, I know the answer. The term is "An Inconvenient Truth"

                      Please excuse me. I was having a look at this forum and couldn't resist sticking my oar in. First of all, let me set out my stall. I live in Scotland and I suppose you could argue that living in a country with the political problems we've got (Brexit for example) I probably shouldn't be commenting on another country's political system. But here goes: I love the USA. My wife and I got engaged in New York City in 2010 and tied the knot on Martha's Vineyard in 2014. Obviously we don't have a vote in the upcoming election and nor do we have a voice. I think you'll agree though that we've got opinions that we're entitled to hold. I'm sure I saw elsewhere in this thread that neither candidate is particularly appealing and to a certain extent I can get behind that. However, the BBC very kindly broadcast Monday night's presidential debate and I watched it with my wife on Tuesday evening. You can say what you like about HRC (God knows, plenty have already). While she might be the kind of person who would WANT to do something stupid or reckless (private email server anyone?) I also feel she'd be the kind of person who could be talked off the ledge by the appropriate people (career diplomat or soldier perhaps) when the USA was in a tight spot. I know there's far more to being the leader of the free world than simply looking presidential but I felt that HRC did have that look. Let's now contrast that with her opponent. Donald Trump (even the name scares me) has spent most of the last twelve months either making horribly incendiary statements, or denying having made them even in the face of irrefutable proof. It is my honest opinion that DjT would try to run the USA the way he runs his business. I don't think DjT recognises the expertise of others unless it suits him to do so, meaning that if there's a major conflict somewhere in the world he'll go in full-tilt even if his military advisers tell him it's a bad idea. I'm not 100% convinced that those advisers wouldn't be fired if they told him something he didn't want to hear. If you've ever watched Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing, this'll make sense to you. If not, I urge you to watch it. In the first few episodes, President Bartlet wants to retaliate against a country that showed aggression against the US, and demands that they respond with the power of God's own thunder (I'm paraphrasing slightly here). He is then subsequently talked down by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Fitzwallace. In my view, HRC would respond well to such advice from the mil
