Wow, that’s big. If any running mate could’ve patched things up between Trump and the Koches, I would’ve thought it was Pence.
Trump does like paying pennies on the dollar.
We’ve talked about the 3500 Trump lawsuits, but I just heard it spun that all big corporations have high numbers of lawsuits like that. Can anyone confirm or deny? Sounds like BS to me, but my google skills weren’t up for the challenge.
Donald reaffirms that he wants to dump NATO unless they pay protection money:
I guess the only question now is if he wants to blow up NATO because he sees himself as The Big Deal Guy or if he wants to do this because his pal, Vladimir Putin, told him to.
In the cold war we lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation in 30 minutes at any time. Since the cold war ended, and the world has found a stable order, we’ve forgotten that threat exists even though everyone still has many thousands of warheads ready to go at a moment’s notice. The nuclear threat is still very real.
Trump is threatning to disturb the order that keeps them out of our minds. He’s actively attempting to change the situaton in such a way that nuclear annihilation looms closer. This isn’t some stupid political stunt or even being racist or sexist - this is literally tinkering with the balance of power that allows for the continuation of civilization.
True. This is because a dictator (emphasis on the third syllable) requires fear in order to maintain power.

New poll: No convention bounce for Trump:
Heard a clip on CNN of Trump speaking to a veteran’s group. Not only have they forgotten what he said about Americans taken prisoners, but they believd him when he said he, when elected, would have a direct phone line installed so vets can call and complain about their care and that he would take each call personally.
“Thank you for calling TrumpVetCare. Your call is very important to me. I will be with you in…3 weeks.2 days. 14 hours.34 minutes. Please stay on the line.” scratchy recording of Trump U. lectures
Of course he stands behind our veterans: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/questions-linger-about-trumps-draft-deferments-during-vietnam-war/2015/07/21/257677bc-2fdd-11e5-8353-1215475949f4_story.html
I just read a rather sobering article about how Trump will win in November. I think he would be a dangerous choice for President, but the odds seem to be ever in his favour, based on his defying the odds at every step so far. It’s a long article, but worth reading if you have the time.

Trump is a dealmaker. If it comes to it, he’ll see who is willing to make the biggest donation to Trump and his companies; Russia or Latvia. This is what “winning” means to him. The rest of us? We’re just suckers. Shareholders to be left holding the bag. Losers.
I don’t think he’s being deliberately evil or even provocative. I don’t think he even sees what could possibly go wrong with such a scenario. For him, it’s all about making the best deal - for himself.
Hey, remember those “Freedom Kids” who sang pro-Trump songs at his rallies last year?
In a turn of events that should shock no one, the campaign is refusing to pay them.
That dad has to be about the worst entertainment agent/manager in history.
But he couldn’t do that with Ted Cruz. Ted made him look like an ass.
However Hillary effectively traded control of the DNC to Bernie Sanders in exchange for his full support for her President run. He delivered when he could have reneged, right?
So who is the better deal maker? By the evidence, it’s Hillary.
You should have noticed by now this election, and the general right wing backlash happening in Europe, has come down to globalists vs. nationalists, with the liberals being the globalist oligarchs. The Republican elite who supported globalism were tarred, feathered, and sent out on a rail.
Not to get dragged into a big debate, but, imho, if free trade.was coupled with free movement, it would probably convert a number of OWS “types” ( for want of a better word) to support free trade.
Normally, I’d be on the side of anyone getting stiffed by Donald. But holy shit, these girls need deprogramming, not money. Their North Korean style dance for their Dear Leader Kim Jong Trump is disgusting beyond words.
He read all the Trump books and Trump stiffing him and the girls came as a big surprise?
So it will be for the ones that will vote for him.
Sometimes I doubt Trump’s commitment to Sparkle Motion.
Did anybody ask about his claims that American soldiers looted the Iraqi treasury and kept it for themselves?
