Idk if you're following this Sanders of a guy but he has been very consistent for over 50 years that he's been politically active. Like, freakishly consistent. As in saying the same sentences for 50 years straight. He even refused to speak as that joo convention, and he's among them.Quote:

Hypocrisy: Hillary denounces Panama's 'outrageous tax havens', yet many named in documents are Clinton donors

Lol. The irony

I liked this bit in the third link
Funny how these Clinton fans are the usually the same ones blasting right wing Trump supporters for their aggressive tactics.Quote:
Such a tactic would be unlikely to win the hearts of any Sanders supporters who Hillary Clinton will need in a general election. Even the perception among Bernie’s progressives that this was a plot by Brock will, in all probability, push many into the growing ‘Bernie Or Bust’ Movement. These fed up voters now represent a large enough slice of the Democratic base to cost Clinton victory in a close race.
And 2016 promises to be close. Clinton, whose favorability ratings continue to tank, is only up on average by 8.5 points over Republican front-runner Donald Trump, according to RealClearPolitics. A recent poll saw that number shrink to three. Hillary Clinton’s camp might not feel it needs Bernie’s progressives, but it absolutely does.
Though there is plenty of circumstantial evidence, logically speaking, the negatives of this scenario seem to outweigh the benefits.
What I dont understand is why only have one representative from each party anyway. Why not have 4 or 5 from each party that JUST the public get to vote for and these delegates or whatever have no say, just the people. Which ever party gets the most votes and which ever representative gets the most votes within that party is the president. It really is the lesser of two evils with Trump v Hillary and honestly that is the worst way to vote.
I find the whole US elections really overly confusing as it is, why not simplify it, give people more of a choice and leave those choices simply down to the people?
What do you mean that's basically how it works. The primaries are people choosing the person they want.
Its based on the popular vote and it recognized the states individuality.
But you can't have every state worth the same thing due to population differences.
Yeah but why bother have these primarys? Why not forget about individual states altogether and just have a number of people to choose from on voting day and each states count their own votes and add them all up. Why do delegates and super delegates get a big say, why not just the population?
This is kind of like what I mean:
https://www.rt.com/usa/341153-rigged...voting-system/
the US is a federation and every state has to be respected as a sovereign entity to an extent, so it's fits the system more. It gives each state a chance to have the candidates visit them and kiss their ass/speak on their unique issues.Quote:

like wise, i think he'd be awesome, lol.. so many lulz to be had.

id like to see his voters realize hes actually and extremely liberal democrat upon winning. hes already back pedaling
I wouldn't call him an extremely liberal democrat. I'd say he lines up as more of a common sense moderate who uses the media how he needs to and says what he has to when he has to during a campaign.
This is why the extremists on both sides despise him.
He's a fine politician. Fits right in.
he's the same as killary, a hawke,Quote:

one who makes millions for himself while the country goes to shit? one who lets slid illegal war crimes, or gives his friends cheaper govt contracts, a politician is one who spreads lies and distorts facts so he can stay in power? thus fucking up the country more..
so a fine politician is someone who lies and spreads hatred?
no wonder most the world is fucked up, if you think liars and people who only care about themselves, are the best candidates to rule countries.,
Yes that's exactly what a fine politician is.
lol, yea my questioning was tinted,
let me re phrase,
define a fine politician.
It's interesting that he broke the chain of baby-boomer pander politics but showing the value of pissing people off. Him, Bernie and Ben Carson changed the game. Hilary is still stuck in the cycle and I'm beginning to doubt what she can do at the polls. She won't be able to rig out Trump the way she did Bernie or have her sponsors block him out of the media because he's making them too much money being a faggot. On her own she'll lose but (im assuming) she'll have Obama, her husband and biden on her corner and that will tip the balance.Quote:

The estimate is '30%' of Bernie supporters would rather vote for Trump but I believe it's around 40-50%. Or 40-50% won't vote for either I should say.
Hilary is still a beast bitch though so maybe she will rig him out and kill his family being that this is a very 3rd world election.
lolQuote:

true, biggest third world elections on the planet, almost 15% of the population of the usa is under the poverty line (45 million peeps)
if you take away govt benefits/food stamps/pensions its about 50% ...
thats like 65% of the population of america is under the poverty line.. if you take away the people who are not on means tested welfare, then it drops down to 50% of americans are in poverty..
fucking 50%
and those are govt figures.. imagine the shit they have left out to distort these figures..
^that's my issue with the republicans.
I want to know what they think would improve the country. They want no real investments in healthcare, education, infrastructure, deny the basis of most modern scientific knowledge, and feel that anyone that speak towards improving the present are complaining and should remedy the issue by hearing about how back in their day they went outside and played baseball.
There's honestly no willingness to improve this country on the republican end and the average american is too myopic to understand what that means. The democrats aren't perfect but they're trying. They're bring ideas to the table and republicans are left to decide if they're with it or against it but don't bring their own.
Eisenhower brought the interstate system to the table, started government support for civil rights etc. He was more republican than all of these clowns but california wants to link 2 cities with high speed rail and there's an uproar for baby boomers get ass fucked by their wives.
The only candidate with ideas is Bernie like him or not. Hilary is left deciding how much he agrees or disagrees and Trump is wiping up poor white people, or poor white people that eventually became middle management by proposing to reallocate blame of anything bad ever to everyone but white males and that's all they need.
Nigga, the Chinese are building a bus that drives over cars and seats 400 people and the only think the republican end has brought to the table in 20 years is 'cut taxes'. It's very pathetic. At least Obama started fucking with drones and attempted to reform our pathetic health care system. Americans are running to Canada for the services of a developed country the way mexicans are running here for the raw cash and lawlessness of a semi-developed country.
There's absolutely nothing that America outranks other developing nations. Primarily because white people don't want black people to have shit so anytime something is proposed that will make life better in America we start hearing about 'welfare queens' and other references to poor black people. Now it's immugrents. Immugrents are over 60% of your science sector and 50% of It while being less that 5% of the general population and they're realizing that they'll make more and deal with less BS if they stay in there home country and us americans as customers instead of employers or partners.
Did I tell you about The Dramatics Do What You Wanna Do album cover showing them in a elevator with a cute black woman and they're making facial expressions because she's cute? Hahahahahahahahahahaha. On the back of the album, The Dramatics are sleeping in the elevator when she walks out LOL. Inside the album sleeve pictures, they have sex with her separately hahahahahahahahahahaha. My dad has that album and you should check out the songs Why Do You Want To Do Me Wrong, Disco Dance Contest, California Sunshine and Jane that are on the album. I think their best albums are Shake It Well and Any Time Any Place. My dad has those albums and I like the cute black and white women they're dancing with on the back of Any Time Any Place album picture. Destiny's Child Girl song sampled their song Ocean Of Thoughts And Dreams from Shake It Well album. Destiny's Child did a video for Girl.
Rapper Scarface's Heaven song on The Fix album sampled their song That Heaven Kind Of Feelin from Shake It Well album. Rapper LL Cool J sampled their song Get Up And Get Down on Ain't No Stoppin This song on LL's 14 Shots To The Dome album. Rapper Redman also sampled a little bit of Get Up And Get Down at the beginning of his classic song Time 4 Sum Aksion. Also check out The Dramatics Show Me What You Got, You're Foolin You, I Was The Life Of The Party and Try Love Again songs. L.J. Reynolds who's the lead singer is very good and check out his videos Come Get To This and You Sure Love To Ball which are remakes of Marvin Gaye's songs. I met L.J.'s son at a family reunion cookout at the park in Detroit in 2001 because he's dating my cousin. He looks just like L.J. and The Dramatics are from Detroit. RIP to The Dramatics members Ron Banks, Lenny Mayes and William Howard. I wonder why Willie Ford and Larry Demps don't do concerts with them because L.J. has 3 new members. It's only 4 of them now and not 5 like it used to be.
Someone who is popular and gets elected or has a major following.Quote:

wouldnt you rather haves someone, with a basic understanding of economics? (so the country could grow?) or some one with a degree in economics? so atleast they have the knowledge of what to do.
its rather embarrassing that, in a free democracy, we the public, who always seem to hire relatives of one another to run countries, even tho these guys have never shown or proved that they want the countries to benefit, instead they in their roles as head of state, want to make more for themselves...

About America 2050
America 2050 is Regional Plan Association's national infrastructure planning and policy program, providing leadership on a broad range of transportation, sustainability, and economic-development issues impacting America's growth in the 21st century.
A major focus of America 2050 is the emergence of megaregions - large networks of metropolitan areas, where most of the population growth by mid-century will take place. Examples of megaregions are the Northeast Megaregion, from Boston to Washington, or Southern California, from Los Angeles to Tijuana, Mexico. Megaregions comprise multiple, adjacent metropolitan areas connected by overlapping commuting patterns, business travel, environmental landscapes and watersheds, linked economies, and social networks. America 2050 has identified 11 megaregions in the United States.
Since the program was launched in 2005, America 2050 has published influential research and made policy recommendations on key issues impacting the future growth and competitiveness of the United States. In 2008-2009, America 2050 led a national campaign on Rebuilding and Renewing America, which hosted major conferences in eight of the nation's megaregions to identify strategic infrastructure priorities for a national infrastructure plan.
Starting in 2009, America 2050 has shaped the national debate on high-speed rail and developed recommendations on how national investments should be focused in corridors with the greatest demand for ridership. America 2050's research has also highlighted international lessons on high-speed rail for U.S. policy makers.
In 2012, America 2050's research has focused on accelerating investments in restoring the nation's infrastructure, including strategies for expediting the environmental review process on major job generating infrastructure projects of national significance.
In the coming years America 2050 will continue to provide leadership on regional planning and major infrastructure priorities in the nation, including integrating water and energy planning with land use considerations and developing recommendations for the transition to a new presidential administration in 2013.
America 2050 receives financial support from:
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
The Surdna Foundation
The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation
kinda reminds me of the ghost mega cities in china, that the chinese expected the rural dwellers to move into...
Corporate Puppet: In case you didn’t know, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is well-connected – to industries and corporations, to banks and financial institutions, to foreign governments and foreign interests… to just about everyone who isn’t aligned with, or tuned to, the common folk she claims to represent.
But don’t take my word for it. The data speaks for itself. As reported by The New York Post , the Democratic candidate is so well connected that she managed to “earn” (I write sarcastically) something like $21 million over a two-year period, just by showing up somewhere and giving a speech (many of which were for her going rate of $225,000 though others paid more ).
Do you know of anyone else can show up at a venue and speak/play music/read poetry/perform magic tricks/do origami/stand on their head for about 20 minutes and earn that kind of money?
No one . So what makes Hillary’s time so valuable? Is it her winning personality? Her captivating demeanor? Her rock-star status? Or is it, perhaps, that banks and Big Pharma and corporations and countries pay her so handsomely because they want something from her if she happens to stumble into the White House next January?
You can mull that over, but while you’re at it, check out this lengthy list of suitors, donors or perhaps they should be called associates of hers and what they’ve paid her to ‘speak.’
Per the Post :
At what point do “contributions” become bribes, “constituent services” turn into quid pro quos and “charities” become slush funds?And that payola is in addition to the $26 million-plus that her hubby, Bill Clinton, has been paid in “honoria” since has left office – fees that went up dramatically for him after his wife was appointed as Obama’s secretary of state. As the Post notes, no wonder Donald Trump, the prospective GOP presidential candidate , calls her “crooked Hillary.”
Ronald Reagan was severely criticized in 1989 when, after he left office, he was paid $2 million for a couple of speeches in Japan. “The founding fathers would have been stunned that an occupant of the highest office in this land turned it into bucks,” sniffed a Columbia professor.
So what would Washington and Jefferson make of Hillary Rodham Clinton? Mandatory financial disclosures released this month show that, in just the two years from April 2013 to March 2015, the former first lady, senator and secretary of state collected $21,667,000 in “speaking fees,” not to mention the cool $5 mil she corralled as an advance for her 2014 flop book, “Hard Choices.”
And no wonder Hillary refuses to release the transcripts of all those wonderful[ly profitable] speeches; the chances are good that most of those speeches praised whomever or whichever country/group/organization/corporation she was paid to speak at, all of which, of course, undermine her campaign rhetoric about opposing the big corporations, standing up for the little guy and gal, being just a regular woman, yada, yada, yada .
As to who paid Hillary, the list is long and distinguished. Enemy of the “big banks?” Hardly; she made multiple trips to Goldman Sachs. Oh, and Morgan Stanley was involved too, along with Deutsche Bank, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and UBS Wealth Management.
Against Big Pharma? Nope; several pharmaceuticals are on the list of payees as well, because after all, they’ll need to stay on the good side of the woman who tried to do to healthcare in 1993 what Barack Obama and a Democrat congressional majority did in 2010.
“As ‘Clinton Cash,’ a new documentary based on Peter Schweizer’s 2015 book, shows in excruciating, irrefutable detail, it’s always ‘pay to play’ with the Clintons , whether personally or via their family racket, the Clinton Foundation (which includes the Clinton Global Initiative),” the Post noted. “They’ve sucked up vast sums of ‘contributions’ from some of the most unsavory folks on the planet, including Nigerian dictators and Kazakhstani despots,” it adds.
Just being popular isn't enough.
