The only conservative media in the states that is consistent is fox, you lot have the rest in your pocket!

The sheep in Ireland are a joy to behold, they love killing, ignore her many foibles and attack trump without giving thought to balance and objectivity, a bit like those on here who watch the Avery series and knew more than I did even though I lived down the road from the f**kers.

I am telling you when this tr**p gets elected she will set the USA back thirty years politically, morally and financially.


Two of Fox's biggest stars are at each other's throats over Trump. Consistency?

You launched into a rant about Avery without watching the show then subsequently watched (or at least claimed to have watch) and came back with your mind changed about Dassey

Morals? You? Really?


I did not have to watch the show, I knew some of these f**kers you arrogant tit!

I watched the news and read the interviews, I saw the police statements years and years before you had even heard the names Avery or Dassey, I have been on the property in at least ten occasions and I hahe had conversations with these people, you in your arrogance seem to think that the 4th show is the be all end all, you got your information from a biased show and your know more about the situation than people who lived it night and day for years.

You are the arrogant human being I have ever come across, I am glad we have never met because I want want to slap your smug face you absolute waste of space!

Now go away and quit annoying my head gallstoner!

So why did you use Koch and Adelson as your example of those benefitting from People's United instead of say Koch and Soros, or Koch and Tom Steyer. 

When has the spouse of a sitting Republican Secretary of State solicited and accepted donations from foreign entities that then used that donation to request  (through his/her spouse) direct access to the Secretart of State and other high ranking US government officials

http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/new-abedin-emails-reveal-hillary-clinton-state-department-gave-special-access-top-clinton-foundation-donors/

In more than a dozen email exchanges, Abedin provided expedited, direct access to Clinton for donors who had contributed from $25,000 to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation

Included among the Abedin-Band emails is an exchange revealing that when Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain requested a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton, he was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation for an appointment. Abedin advised Band that when she went through "normal channels" at State, Clinton declined to meet. After Band intervened, however, the meeting was set up within forty-eight hours. According to the Clinton Foundation website, in 2005, Salman committed to establishing the Crown Prince's International Scholarship Program (CPISP) for the Clinton Global Initiative. And by 2010, it had contributed $32 million to CGI

Whitey, if your dreams come true and Clinton is sabotaged, you will really enjoy President Trump.

I hope you are keeping an eye on the Tories, who are using very dangerous language about foreigners these days. Remember these are foreigners who are legally in the UK. And they want them out.

The only one who is sabotaging her is herself.  They play the victimhood well,but the email hacks lay out the bare and ugly facts

J70

Yes, they seemingly had to contribute to get her attention.

And this differs from buying access through SuperPACs and the rest how, exactly?

The whole system is pay to play. Even Trump admits/boasts that he bought political favours all over the place.

I never said you did. You might read a bit slower and next time, when you quote me, could you not edit out the most important part of the quote?

You said this about Fox:

"The only conservative media in the states that is consistent is fox, you lot have the rest in your pocket!"

It was Whitey who commented about everyone he talks to in Ireland.

I watched it against my better judgement because my friends stateside were appalled at it given that, You know, they knew more about the case than anyone on here will ever know.

HOW DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS ATTACK JOURNALISTS
A Trump supporter sent Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald an epileptogenic video that triggers seizures.
BY KURT EICHENWALD ON 10/7/16 AT 4:25 PM



Shortly after I wrote an article for Newsweek about how Donald Trump's business interests could undermine national security should he be elected president, one of his supporters assaulted me. He used the internet to do it.
Throughout my adulthood, I have never made a secret of the fact that I have epilepsy. It's better controlled now than it has been during other parts of my life, but not completely—my neurologist tells me I have intractable epilepsy, meaning treatment will never bring the condition fully under control. I know how people—particularly children—with seizures suffer when uninformed idiots suggest they should impose limits of their lives or quell their aspirations. So when Fox News blowhard and college dropout Sean Hannity practically drooled in delight this election season as he falsely proclaimed that Hillary Clinton suffered from seizures based on her acting goofy in a short video clip, it infuriated me. I knew how his message would be heard—people with seizures look ridiculous, they should be afraid of others laughing at them, they should listen to the voices telling them they can't do what they want (even be president). And so I raged at Hannity in the pages of Newsweek, on cable television news shows and on Twitter.

A couple of weeks later, after my article about how Trump's business interests would create a conflict of unprecedented proportions, I received a tweet from someone with the twitter handle "Mike's Deplorable AF." Like many Trump supporters, he has chosen to identify himself as deplorable to mock the label once used by Clinton to describe the racists, neo-Nazis, homophobes and like who have crawled out of the sewer to cheer for the Republican nominee. Mike, however, is indeed deplorable.


In his tweet, which has since been deleted, Mike made mention of my seizures and included a small video. It contained images of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that has been identified by the Anti-Defamation League as a hate symbol. I was carrying my iPad, looking at the still image on the video and, without thinking, touched the PLAY button.
The video was some sort of strobe light, with flashing circles and images of Pepe flying toward the screen. It's what's called epileptogenic—something that triggers seizures. Fortunately, since I was standing, I simply dropped my iPad to the ground the second I realized what Mike had done. It landed face down on the bathroom floor.
The deplorables are real. The deplorables are dangerous.

Because I have written critically about Trump, I have received innumerable death threats, sometimes just general invocations that I should die, sometimes more specific threats that I should be shot or "lynched," as one Trump fan wrote. I have been called "kike," "Jew" and "anti-American Zionist," even though I'm Episcopalian with a Jewish father (as if that makes a difference). I have received video cartoons that look like they are from Nazi Germany of hook-nosed men dressed in Jewish garb rubbing their hands greedily over piles of money. I have been told to go back where I came from, whatever that means. I have been called "fag," "pedo," and once—in an email that made no sense—"nigger-lover." One Trump fan mentioned he knew which schools my children attended, and correctly named them. Topping it off, some Trump fans have even gone after one of my sons online, although he knew enough to immediately block them.
My family has been through this before—it is sometimes a consequence of writing about controversial topics—but this is the first time we have discussed whether I should continue investigating an issue. All of them agreed I should stay on this story— since Trump won't release much information about himself, digging up everything that can be found before the election is important for the country. But why is this even a discussion? We do not live in a third-world nation where journalists who report unpleasant realities are in danger. While I believe that most of these threats—except for Mike's—are from internet blowhards, why does my family even have to wonder about this? And why am I convinced that, just by writing this article, Mike will get lots of new Twitter followers and praise from profoundly evil people?
I am far from the only journalist exposed to the bottom-feeders among Trump supporters who traffic in violence, threats, racism and anti-Semitism. In a tweet, Charles Blow, an African-American columnist for The New York Times who has been harshly critical of Trump both in the newspaper and on television, told me he is bombarded with racist fury through email. Katy Tur of NBC reported in an article in Marie Claire that she had to be escorted out of a Trump rally in December by Secret Service to protect her from raging Trump supporters who had sicced on her by their candidate. She was also the primary subject of a death threat two weeks later on Twitter.
"MAYBE A FEW JOURNALISTS DO NEED TO BE WHACKED," the tweet from someone with the handle GuyScott33 read. "MAYBE THEN THEYD STOP BEI[N]G BIASED HACKS. KILL EM ALL STARTING W/ KATY TUR."
There are more. According to The Daily Beast, Bethany Mandel, a conservative essayist who has written about her opposition to Trump, had been so violently attacked on social media that she felt compelled to purchase a gun for protection. Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, received an email telling him he would be sent to "a camp" when Trump wins. After she published an article in GQ about Melania Trump, Julia Ioffe, a Jewish journalist, received death threats by phone and email, and tweets showing vile images such as an anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish man on his knees being shot in the back of the head; she filed a police report. Jonathan Weisman, deputy Washington editor of The New York Times, tweeted a link to a Washington Post opinion piece that was harshly critical of the Trump phenomenon. The vicious attacks on Weisman, who is Jewish, came quickly.
"Get used to it you f**king kike,'' tweeted one of the deplorables who goes by the handle "deplorable basket weave." "You people will be made to pay for the violence and fraud you've committed against us."
This is not an unavoidable consequence of a contentious political campaign. This is exceptional, a circumstance brought about by the gutter rants of Donald Trump and his refusal to condemn the racists, neo-Nazis and other deplorables who support him. That our country has reached this point, where the line between modern American political supporters and Hitler's brownshirts is becoming thinner by the day, is unacceptable. That GOP candidates have stood by and allowed this ugliness to flourish without aggressively condemning their candidate for what he has set loose, simply because they are seeking re-election or fear losing their jobs at the mid-terms, will stain the Republican Party for decades.
I write this knowing that it will spur more vile and violent online attacks on me. I have warned my children and my wife to be extra careful. And now that I have revealed how easy it is to inflict an injury on me, until this election is over, I will not be pushing PLAY on any unsolicited video I receive. It's simply too dangerous.

These Might Be Donald Trump's Most Disgusting Comments Yet About Women
"Grab them by the p***y."
10/07/2016 04:45 pm ET | Updated 1 hour ago


Paige Lavender Senior Politics Editor, The Huffington Post

MIKE SEGAR/REUTERS
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump made lewd comments about women in an audio recording from 2005 that was published Friday.
An audio recording from 2005 features Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump making lewd comments about women during a conversation with then-"Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush. Excerpts of those remarks appear uncensored below.
On the recording ― a video in which Trump can be overheard talking with Bush while on the way to film on the set of a soap opera ― Trump claims he tried to have sex with a married woman and says he can grab women "by the pussy" because he is a celebrity. The Washington Post and NBC News published the recording on Friday.

"I did try and f**k her," Trump can be heard saying on the video in reference to an unnamed woman.
"I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping," Trump continues. "She wanted to get some furniture. I said, 'I'll show you where they have some nice furniture.'"
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married," Trump says. "Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."
Later in the recording, Trump talks about actress Arianne Zucker, who escorted Trump and Bush to the set of "Days of Our Lives."
"I've gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her," Trump said. "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful ― I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait."
"And when you're a star they let you do it," Trump said. "You can do anything."
"Grab them by the pussy," Trump added. "You can do anything."
Trump brushed off the severity of the comments.
"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago," Trump said in a statement Friday. "[Former President] Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course ― not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended."

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reacted to the reports on Twitter:
Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), told reporters in Las Vegas the audio of Trump's comments "makes me sick to my stomach."
The audio recording was released less than a week after The Associated Press published a report about Trump's behavior toward female cast and crew members on his NBC show, "The Apprentice." More than 20 people who worked on the show shared anecdotes with the AP about Trump commenting on women's bodies and requesting that female contestants wear shorter dresses, among other inappropriate moments.
Clinton criticized Trump's comments on women during the first presidential debate, citing former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whom Trump had called "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping." Trump responded later on Twitter, calling Machado "disgusting" and accusing her of having a sex tape.
For more on Trump's inappropriate comments on women, go here.
Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
