    Maybe this can help a little bit ...

    " You’re unsuspecting,” Trump said. “Right now, you say to your wife: ‘Let’s go to a movie after Trump.’ But you won’t do that because you’ll be so high and so excited that no movie is going to satisfy you. Okay? No movie. You know why? Honestly? Because they don’t make movies like they used to — is that right?”

  2. Scotwight  : Yes I do.

    In a previous post I wondered why D.Trump spends so much energy reponding to A. Machado ..  and invited his supporters to watch a "sex tape". It is far from the promise of the Convention of Cleveland: to be the spokesman "of the forgotten, neglected and abandoned."

    I may be wrong but the reason to me : D. Trump does not care, looks like he himself is his best enemy. 

    To me, he is in the race because of Obama.

     

  3. Looks like D. Trump's aim  is to do absolutely anything he can to harm HRC hoping to drive votes away from her, more thant gaining votes for himself with a better agenda.

    D. Trump wants to win the élections, not for the job - but for the position.

    D. Trump thinks he - de facto-  deserves to be elected President - because ... after all .. even B. Obama with his background  just did it and D. Trump just can't stand it.

    Seems to me that some posters are so desperate to slag off Trump that they bring up any old garbage as long as it denigrates Trump, no matter how slight the association. The phrase "Trump owns their their head" comes to mind.

    How about confining the discussion to the actual people involved.

     

    To please you...  actual  of the same vein 

    " Asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” who he talks with consistently about foreign policy, Trump responded, “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things."

    Seriously?

     

    This May Be The Most Horrible Thing That Donald Trump Believes.

    -> " ... Trump’s father instilled in him the idea that their family’s success was genetic, according to Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio.... The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development,” D’Antonio says in the documentary. “They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring.”.

     

    Such a great genetic patrimony explains why D. Trump has a so positive vision of himself... and how he moved to the other side of the mirror   

     

     

  6. Hungary has difficulties keeping it's young workers home who prefer to migrate to other european ( UK, Germany, Austria...) countries where the wages are 3 times higher compared to what they would in Hungary.

    Even when firms in Hungary offer housing + wages, it's still not enough to compete - so Hungary is in need of workers - but it's people and government refuse migrants from " different cultures" - they'd prefer Hungarians from Serbia for instance.. but it would not be sufficient.

    So Hungary has the solution to offer the vacant jobs to Romani people living in Hungary already .. a population that has been discriminated and still is.

     

     

  7. And this was my favorite Clinton's reply to " Trump word salad " of the debate

     

    HOLT: I'm sorry. I'm just going to follow up — and I will let you respond to that, because there's a lot there. But we're talking about racial healing in this segment. What do you say to Americans, people of color who...

    (CROSSTALK)

     

    TRUMP: Well, it was very — I say nothing. I say nothing, because I was able to get him to produce it. He should have produced it a long time before. I say nothing.

    But let me just tell you. When you talk about healing, I think that I've developed very, very good relationships over the last little while with the African-American community. I think you can see that.

    And I feel that they really wanted me to come to that conclusion. And I think I did a great job and a great service not only for the country but even for the president, in getting him to produce his birth certificate."

     

    Cut back to Clinton:

    HOLT: Secretary Clinton?

    CLINTON: Well, just listen to what you heard. And clearly, as Donald just admitted, he knew he was going to stand on this debate stage and Lester Holt was going to be asking us questions, so he tried to put the whole racist birther lie to bed.

  8. When they appeared on stage at the very beginning , I had this impression they match well together - maybe better thant with their respective spouses .. I can't find the corresponding image , but this one shows it - wealthy people belong to the same cast anyway, so pretending  you're anti-system is fallacious

     Résultat de recherche d'images pour "clinton trump debate". Something wealthy people do very well , and struggle for, is maintening their own dominant position.  Saying they really care for the "dominated" is .. fairy tale  ( and  "fantasy" for Trump)

  9. 1) Nahed Hattar was a writer, he simply placed on his Facebook wall a cartoon drawn by someone else.  The cartoon,is titled "God of Dawaech",   shows a bearded jihadist on a bed in heaven, surrounded by two women and addressing God as a mere servant

        He explained this cartoon was making fun of "terrorists and how they imagine God and heaven, and it was not meant to offense God."

    2) He was accused of inciting sectarian strife "and" insult "to Islam, which prohibits any representation of God, be it is satirical or not

    3) so for the court , ISIL = Islam ?

     

     

  10. Loretta Napoleoni, author of Merchants of Men: How Jihadists and ISIS Turned Kidnapping and Refugee Trafficking into a Multibillion-dollar Business.

     

    "The compelling and highly-informed account of one of the world's darkest and most lucrative new businesses - human trafficking.

    Every day, a powerful and sophisticated underground business delivers thousands of refugees along the Mediterranean coasts of Europe. A new breed of criminals, risen from the political chaos of post-9/11 Western foreign policy and the fiasco of the Arab Spring, controls it. These merchants of men are intertwined with jihadist organisations such as al Qaeda. Previously, they have prospered from smuggling cocaine from West Africa and kidnapping Westerners. More recently, the destabilisation of Syria and Iraq, coupled with the rise of ISIS, offered them new business opportunities in the Middle East, from selling Western hostages to jihadist groups to trafficking in refugees numbering in the millions, generating billions of dollars annually.

    Merchants of Men is based on exclusive access to former hostages, counter-terrorism experts, members of security services, and hostage negotiators actively involved in ransom bargaining and rescue missions, among many others. In a gripping narrative, Loretta Napoleoni describes the brutal processes of kidnapping and human trafficking from a personal and global level, and uncovers the ruthless business models that lie behind them."

  11. Speeches of all dictators are alike

    Donald Trump says he'll upset the world order with simple solutions - he'll succeed where others have ( he said)  failed.  He'll quickly cut off the head of the Islamic State and take their oïl, he'll will stop illegal immigration by building a wall on the mexican border, .

    Trump thinks that ignorance is an advantage. the important thing to him  is to mark the spirits - 

  12. This video testimony is in English.  skip ad -  distress of a man with Alzheimer's:

     

    Diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Alan Beamer, aka "Beam" saw his health deteriorate rapidly in recent months. More than memory loss, however, is the loneliness that weighs this father resident of Michigan, USA. Distress which wanted to show his wife, Mary Beth, taking the camera to film the heartrending call of her husband (see video below).

  13. I'd say number 1 cause is HATE

    those who carry on terror attacks, do it first because they hate us for what we are in "western countries" , more than because of our actions in muslim countries.

    - "those" includes people of any ethnic origine and faith (you'll find newly converted among them as well as people of muslim culture and faith) 

    -" we" includes people of any ethnic origine and faith ( you'll find muslims among the victims also )    

    The worst being that " those" already live among us, can be very young, women... someone you would never expect  

  14. I'm not an American either, and an interested bystander too.

    DT is  a " post truth era " ( Ralph Keyes's concept)  politician   - he's becoming iconic of the kind.

    The formula describes the dangerous trend of Western democracies to disbelieve the facts in the political debate, and instead firmly  give credit to lies told  and repeated with insistance.

     It's just the begining of trumpism
