Clock Boy II

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

Absolutely stunning that people still don't understand what's happening even as it happens.

Donald Trump just made an angry muslim with a thick accent the face of the Democratic Party, while Hillary Clinton spent the weekend calling the Benghazi families liars. Again.

Now comes the follow up- the research in to the man whom we will discover is basically a muslim activist.

[Tennesseer]

I am sure you will provide well researched facts.  

[happyhoix]

Way ahead of you, Paul.

Roger Stone, buddy of Trump advisor Paul Manafort, has already declared that Mr Kahn is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who planned a fatwa Military conquest against the US and - for good measure, claims that Mr Kahn's son, a Captain who died in Iraq, was 'may have been planning a suicide attack on his fellow soldiers.' www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/08/01/roger_stone_says_khizr_khan_is_a_muslim_brotherhood_saboteur.html

You should know, if Trump throws his lot in with these jackals, he will make himself the first presidential candidate of a major party who gets ousted by his party 100 days before the general election. 

The GOP won't stand for someone to spread such bullshit about a family whose son died as a hero. I'm serious, they'll find a way to oust him and shove Pence in his place. There won't be a GOP politician on the face of this continent who will stand by Trump if he goes into this rabbit hole.

He needs to apologize to the Khan's, tell his minions to STFU and then shut his own pie hole or all the naked pictures of his lovely wife he tries to wave in front of the American public won't save his ass from his own party.

Don't believe me. Go google all the GOP members who are hurting themselves in their mad scramble to distance themselves from Trump as it is. If Trump starts in on this new flaming bullshit, he's done.

 

[Tennesseer]

And it didn't take Snopes long to jump on this:


The Path of Khan

[tallguy]

All while Lewandosky is claiming that Captain Khan would be alive today if Trump had been president ten years ago, since we never would have entered the Iraq War in the first place.  Despite no evidence that Trump ever opposed the war or our entry into it.  Another claim rated "false."  

So now one of Trump's advisors is saying that Trump would have kept him alive, while another's buddy is saying that the family is traitorous?  Get on the same page, guys.    

[Jaguar]

Oh geez, I've read on Cnn that Donald Trump is now looking for any way out of the last 72 hours and begging the GOP to help him. Can he just let this family alone to grieve for their dead son.

Sorry now I can't remember where I read that, it could be just about anywhere, my Google searches take me all over the dang place.

[happyhoix]

He doesn't need to beg the GOP to help him. HE NEEDS TO SHUT HIS MOUTH.

He must be one of those poor neurotic people who just start babbling crap when they get really terrified.

That's the only possible reason I can come up with for the last 72 hours.

Well, that and he never really wanted to be POTUS in the first place, which is looking more and more like a real thing.

[djAdvocate]

good luck smearing a gold star parent.

[steff]

A GRIEVING Muslim AMERICAN father also has the Constitution as the highest selling item on Amazon at the moment.  Also one of the highest google searches since the speech.  The ACLU is offering free pocket constitutions to people.  Fun Fact: did you know that after Hillary's speech the #1 search IN EVERY STATE was "How to volunteer for Hillary"?


I desperately want someone to photoshop Trump's face on Capt Kirk screaming "Khannnnnnnnn".  Because that's how it's going for him.   Trump put himself in this position by not being able to control himself.  Now he's begging for help from the Republicans who are basically laughing at him while desperately trying to save their own political careers. 

Just a few minutes ago, Warren Buffett came out & demanded release his taxes.  You see, Buffett is also being audited and knows that taxes can still be released.  

Did you see that the largest GOP PAC is gone. shut down. not running.? 

[Tennesseer]

Like the Clock Boy I thread, this ridiculous claim will be shot down too as just more bullshit.

[steff]

I gotta get it all out of my system before I leave on vacation tomorrow.  My BFF was actually a Cruz fan.  I have no idea where she stands now & I'm not going there with her.  I'm not going to blow a 30 year friendship over political differences.   So I gotta get all my Trump anxiety out today.   lol Plus I'm going to Texas, I can't exactly walk around going "you people are fucked in the head now days, what the hell happened"  I could get shot.  LOL

Mr. Khizr Kahn is not some arbitrary Muslim voice called upon randomly to speak at the Democrat National Convention on behalf of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.



Washington – Khizr M. Khan’s website notes that he works to help clients with the E-2 and EB-5 programs that let overseas investors buy into U.S. companies and also provides green cards for family members.



[…] “The E-2 and EB-5 are two of the most notoriously abused visa categories that essentially allow wealthy foreigners to buy their way to U.S. residency, and possibly citizenship, with a relatively modest investment,” said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies.



The EB-5 program has been caught up in multiple scandals and critics are pressing Congress to kill it.



“The EB-5 is literally a ‘citizenship for sale’ program in which a visa for a whole can be bought for as little $500,000,” Vaughan told Secrets. “It is literally a ‘citizenship for sale’ program, and it’s an amazing deal. Compared to other countries, America is the Walmart of investor visa programs,” she added.



One criticism is that it allows an immigrant to invest $500,000 in an approved type of business and in return get a set of green cards for the investor, the investor’s spouse, and all their under 21-years-of-age children. (read more)



Attorney Kahn is a well documented, and well compensated, conscript and activist for the advancement of Islamic interests into the United States. So it should come as no surprise to see the Clinton Machine use Kahn to serve both of their interests in this political election season. – There’s More On The Connections HERE – linkis.com/shoebat.com/2016/07/amTCP

What "latest poll" is that? There are a lot of them. 

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

It's funny- Treehouse predicted:

1. How the Democrat media would manufacture the 'bounce'
2. How big it would be

How could they predict this with precision?

Because the methodology is known.  They're not, as they say, Nostradamus...

Or maybe because they wrote it yesterday? 

Ok, went back to link, lol... They 'predict' a range of 7-18 points, lol, that's precision there

So freaking funny... Trump didn't bounce that high as she because it's all rigged that way...

No Clock Boy III thread yet?

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

Last week, Trump set a trap for the Democrats and the media with his "request" that the Russians hack Hillary's deleted 33,000 emails- which they all too happily jumped on.  In one fell swoop, amid cries of TREASON! and feigned concern over national security, the Clinton campaign and her allies were forced to admit:

1. Hillary's emails still exist (as everyone knows-- there's simply no way to delete an email from everyone's server who may still have it, and it would be a crime to delete it from a government server if it was sent to one...
2. Hillary's emails have been, or could still be hacked.
3. Hillary's emails contain classified government information, not merely yoga lessons and wedding planning for Chelsea.

Of course, anyone with a brain knows this already-- but now they've been baited into confirming it.

Once again, the Democrats and the media have walked right in to a trap set by Trump. Were it not for Trump's comments this weekend, Kahn would have been just another speaker at the DNC-- long since forgotten.  Trump COULD have been a traditional loser-Republican and reported on all his opposition research findings (and been promptly ignored). 

Instead, Trump does the unthinkable: he lays into "Gold Star Parents"-- a mortal, and unpardonable sin sure to END his bid for the presidency.

Instead, it backfires. The media and Democrats, still elated that they've finally killed the beast, aren't noticing how it has already backfired-- and it's not over. Not by a long shot.

Captain Khan is a hero. His father is a muslim activist. The two are not mutually exclusive. Capt Khan was killed in 2004 in a war which Hillary Clinton supported, and Donald Trump-- who wasn't even a politician, had nothing to do with.

What he needs to do is apologize to the family. Pubically and sincerely without making excuses. Since he is incapable of that, well.....

Do you also scold the parents of those not-so-great kids for sucking at parenting?  And have you given due respect to Donald Trump for raising incredible children? I mean, have you ever met the children of wealthy parents? Usually don't turn out so well...

In the past, I did work with kids who were struggling. I worked with their parents also. And, yes, there was a time or two I scolded. Trump does deserve credit for his kids.

I don't know what traps have been set, if any, but some people seem to be into the drama and will believe anything if it fits their worldview.

Honestly, except for this post, I don't think anyone sees that as a Trump slayed moment. I think he's made two unforced errors that will lead to his loss, but that's about it. The smart people know the election is in November.

I am so glad I am not a conspiracy theorist swayed by every piece of nonsense to be created. What I do know is if Trump was convinced he did so well, he would not have released Melania's photos to the NY Post.

Vote Trump, because you want to be Russian!

[tallguy]

Yeah, those Trump boys are just wonderful kids.  Posing for pictures with endangered animals they killed and butchered, and then of course there's the Iceland trip....

In August 2014 Eric Trump, Donald Trump’s son, came to Iceland over a weekend and rented an apartment from Ragnar Þór Jónsson, an Icelandic entrepreneur.

In an interview with Fréttatíminn Ragnar says: “It sucks to hear a hypocrite give a speech on Christian values” commenting on the Republican nominee son’s passionate speech at the RNC.

“I later heard that they invited 15 Icelandic girls to go out with them for dinner and drinks at a restaurant and paid each one 15 thousand Icelandic krónur (around USD 120) just for joining them. Those that were ‘most fun’, whatever that means, would get to go on a glacier trip,” Ragnar continued.

“Then I met him partying downtown that night and mentioned that he had been on the news in Iceland. Then he becomes ice cold and orders all his team to go to the apartment right away that they had to return to the States right away. The reason was that his then fiancée, now wife, had no knowledge of this bachelor’s trip to Iceland. Within an hour from hearing that they were on the news in Iceland they had left on his father’s private plane from Reykjavík Airport.”

Fréttatíminn asks about the apartment. Ragnar continues:

“Wow, the state that apartment was in. There was some white powder all around the apartment, someone had p..ed into the bathtub, broken the dining table and leaving the whole place in shambles. The did leave a lot of booze, which was rather popular [with me]”.

How closely do you really want us looking into his children?  

[tallguy]

Then of course there are the requests for illegal campaign contributions, one of which prompted this reply:

Dear Donald J. Trump Jr.

Quite why you think it appropriate to write emails to UK parliamentarians with a begging bowl for your father’s repugnant campaign is completely beyond me.

Given his rhetoric on migrants, refugees and immigration, it seems quite extraordinary that he would be asking foreign nationals for money; especially people who view his dangerous divisiveness with horror.

The U.S. elections are a matter for the American people, but I do send my hope that they reject your father fundamentally at the ballot box, not just to protect and improve the cohesion in society, to stop his corrosive othering of immigrants and for the protection of hard fought women’s rights in the U.S. but also, selfishly, for world security, and international relations. The thought of his reactionary type of politics and apparent ignorance of world affairs having access to a seat at the world table is both surreal, and terrifying.

The above is a long way to say No, and do not contact me again.

Sincerely,

[tallguy]

Even better, that response was to a followup email.  The original apparently came from The Donald himself:

It reads: “This is the first fundraising email I have ever sent on behalf of my campaign. Help make history by giving one of the amounts below.

“I’m fighting back against Crooked Hillary [Clinton] and her pathetic cronies, as well as the dishonest liberal media, and I need your help.

“Double your impact by donating today.”

Here's the one from Jr.:

The second email, which seems to have been sent from Donald Trump Jr the following day, says: “Yesterday my father sent his first ever fundraising email for the campaign.

“We need your help to keep up this incredible momentum. Please chip in today

to help make my father, Donald J Trump, the next President of the United States.

“If you haven’t given yet, I’m asking you to donate right now to help out the campaign at this critical time.

So neither Donald nor his son know that it is illegal to solicit campaign funds from foreign nationals?  Or does he not care?  And should we be surprised at either?
