Trump

[venusian]

Given Trumps awful record of actually doing anything well, I wonder if there's any chance of Trump Tanks(TM), Trump Avionics(TM) and Trump Guns(TM). Could make the world, or a at least parts of it, a good deal less dangerous for a while.

A trump gun. Hehe.

Probably a huge part of why he's leading?

[pogo]

Leading where? Clinton has a growing lead in the polls. As for Ice T he is very atypical in supporting Trump – Blacks more than any other demographic group support the Democrats.

But yes, Clinton is leading. Trump looked to be catching her for a short while, when he was the only one left in the Republican primaries while Clinton was still fighting off Sanders. But since then Clinton has wrapped up enough delegates, been endorsed by Obama, Biden, Warren and even sort of backed by Sanders.

She now is looking to build on this and drive home her advantages. She has a much more unified party behind her. She has more money to spend, while Trump is still struggling to raise money. And she is just the much better candidate, while Trump struggles to stay on message, and keeps scoring own goals with his racist, offensive and nonsensical comments.

Sanders will work with Clinton - but stops short of endorsing her

Hillary has secured the endorsement of America's largest union, the AFL-CIO with 12.5 million members.

Not all Russian football supporters are hooligans, nor all of the 40,000 English. But they are being treated as such in the media and will be by UEFA with a blanket ban

The difference is that those innocent football supporters are not going to be prevented from reuniting with their families, or be stranded in a foreign country - and to some of those affected, it will be a foreign country - for indefinite periods of time, or be uncertain about who is going to pay for their accommodation costs whilst "we figure out whats going on", nor is a football ban likely to have a major effect on relations with other countries, or international trade, or cause issues for young children who presumably will be some of the "exceptions".

I suspect the Russian athletics ban is going to be mentioned, but again, it might make it very hard on some innocent athletes careers, but it doesn't stop them going home.

I'm also not entirely sure off the top of my head how ones religious affirmation is listed on a passport or travel documentation for entry into the US but if Trumps proposal goes ahead, could we see a massive influx of agnostics or Jedi into the US?

I rather suspect, like you state, that many of Trumps supporters have indeed not read what he may have previously written about gun control. The trouble is, he has now mentioned the words during his presidential campaign, and for some of his support (support which the Republican Party has actively been courting, and Trump is their nominee), he may as well have just stood up and declared that hes converting to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Edit: apparently hes made a speech which I only saw after posting this; this speech seems like hes flip-flopped a bit on the subject of gun control, though as far as some of his supporters are concerned a ban on assault weapons counts as gun control:

Edit the second: some rebuttals:

TBH this whole thread just gives credence to an arsehole.

Bring back the fart jokes!

Bring back the fart jokes!

Not quite a fart joke but...

I was messing around with my kid today when we were enroute to Nando's. He was asking if he could get free refills on cola and I told him there was no Coke-a-Cola at Nando's anymore, he would have to make do with Poopacola or Pee-ade.

He asked me if he could have Anus-up instead....I was knotted, buckled in two!

Donald Trump and his companies hold the rights to over 3,000 (possibly as many as TEN THOUSAND) deragotory website names. Guess they realised how much he was hated even before this campaign started...

Sounds like it's time for a round of domain-name guessing, then.

Is anyone maintaining a list?

[Dio]

Is Trumpton on there?

He actually posted on his Facebook "I will be the greatest jobs creator that God ever created." /exhale helium

So, any "loser and hater" dads here? Because Trump wished you well on his Twitter.

What a nice chap.
