It's been a while since we've used this! Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump went on TV on Wednesday night in a made-for-TV non-debate on MSNBC -- the "Commander-In-Chief Forum" -- to make the case that they were each the most qualified to blow up the world if their grateful nation asks them to. Set on the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier museum ship, Matt Lauer threw foreign policy and national security questions at the candidates -- VERY BADLY,
I think the biggest issues are 24 cable news channels and the fact that our biggest news network was allowed to be bought by our biggest cable provider. Everything has become all about ratings and advertising, and actually providing useful information is way low on the list. But yay unchecked capitalism!
This is EXACTLY what I've been ranting about for weeks now, ruining my blood pressure. He spews out 3rd-grader level ignorant bullshit, and even worse--and NO ONE CALLS HIM OUT ON IT--invariably directly implies that nothing is being done by Obama! EXACTLY what you are saying!!! Never mind that Obama has deported more than any other president, and that immigration is at a net zero, and that our borders are CLOSED (I tell people to go to San Ysidro, cross into Mexico and try to get back in without a U.S. passport), heavily guarded, and hugely policed. Never mind that Obama has been bombing ISIS, successfully, for two years, and that they're in tatters in and in retreat. (I tell people to see if they can recall any new videos of ISIS triumphantly overrunning any new territory--and to ask themselves why not.) Never mind that we, you know, HAVE a military court--where does he think court-martials happen? Oh my God. Thank you for noticing this too!
I think the point is, Spanky, that this is a thing that happens because the service they have is inadequate for their job, so much to the point that others have done it before and teach their replacements how to deal with the crap and still get stuff done.OH and not only did no one die, no one hacked her private servers while, and here is the kicker, the state dept servers? Were actually hacked!But you know, you keep after that chicken. Someday it may lay a dinosaur!
Donald Trump 90% Wrong At Commander-In-Chief Forum, Exceeds Expectations
It's a dessert topping.
Is that a thing? The lolouch? Really?

Nah, they're a bunch of JAG offs.

But, once the blouse is full, don't they have a pretty effective bullet-resistant shield?
I thought the women were supposed to quit and find another military to serve in.
Donald Trump is a very stupid man.
What? Ted, Steve and Ali in the morning weren't available?
How do you reduce a General "to rubble"? Are they statues? Barney Rubble?--I still can't figure that one out
Gary got booed at the Libertarian Convention for coming out in favor of drivers' licenses.
No AIDS back then. The incurable STD that scared the shit out of Donnie was herpes.
That was the definition of argle bargle.
Matt Lauer is a presenter not a journalist. We seem to mix those things up.

RT, the Russian news propaganda machine where last year a journalist quit, on air, admitting they were told to push pro-Putin diatribes?That RT?
