I remember when people were saying Roosevelt would become a dictator if the selective service bill was passed, in 1940. Evidently he missed his chance.

Remember, Trump says he knows more than all the generals.

Both candidates suck.
Read some of Hillary's emails......bombing Libya had nothing to do with asking Generals what they thought or their plan! One even referred to Obama not having f'n balls!


Also,
Obama traditionally avoids commenting on active FBI investigations, but he told NBC News on Tuesday that outside experts have blamed Russia for the leak and appeared to embrace the notion that President Vladimir Putin might have been responsible because of what he described as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s affinity for Putin.
“What the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that, I can’t say directly,” Obama said. “What I do know is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin.”


Obama said he was basing his assessment on Trump’s own comments and the fact that Trump has “gotten pretty favorable coverage back in Russia. He added that the U.S. knows that “Russians hack our systems — not just government systems, but private systems.”


Guess this only came as a surprise to the rest of us!
Obama points to Russia on DNC email hacking


Remember when President Obama was making unknown deals with Putin.

We know from Clinton's public government actions that she supports intervention and war. For better or worse, we don't know about Trump.
Calling Hillary a hawk based solely on her vote to invade Iraq is rather misleading as she and many others got duped into voting for that war. When the President and his staff and the CIA all claim Saddam had WMDs its easy to take the President and his chief advisors at their word and vote in the best interests of the nation who could know the facts at the time were all lies and deceit.

The dumb faux blonde excuse again. Plenty of D's voted against the Iraq War resolution. Put Iraq aside if you want to. She was the architect of the Libya disaster, creating the conditions leading to Benghazi and turning the country into a terrorist Wonderland. She was gung-ho for financing the violent insurgents in the Ukraine. Syria, drones, and on and on. She's a hawk through and through.

You are correct. In spite of the threat of virtual extinction of all life on earth should WW III break out, the idiots will continue following the psychopaths who want that war to happen.

Clueless people are simply following their programming, and no amount of evidence or rational argument can get through.

Their minds are so manipulated, that even the most glaring contradictions go totally unnoticed. On the one hand, the media exclaims "is Trump too friendly with Russia?", followed by "Trump will cause war with Russia".

The two ideas are in direct conflict and contradict themselves, but to the sleep walkers, no contradiction, no matter how obvious, registers in their manipulated, damaged minds.

He already was a dictator.
Stealing everyone's gold isn't enough for you ?
How much of a slave do you want to be ?

I can assure you that many did not want to fight Europe's war.
My great uncle and grandfather were both drafted.
One had his chest burned off and nightmares of kamikazes
the rest of his life. The other earned a bronze star but wouldn't
talk about the war. It was hell. He saw people eating rats and
his fellow soldiers bodies blown to bits right next to him.

War is folly in the modern age. When the United States land area
is clobbered into radioactive ash, perhaps your disembodied spirit
will look down upon the hell Americans allowed to be unleashed
upon them and cry for your casual folly on the way to eternal
judgement.

There were idiots back in the '30s and '40s claiming he'd be a dictator. The people of the United States knew better. They were proven right.

I've been studying WWII since Rise and Fall of the Third Reich came out in paperback. Yes, war is hell, but if the Nazis had won the peace would have been worse. The people back then knew it and the polls show that.

I am glad you agree, Guy. The information is real. People like us who actually
know what we're talking about are routinely dismissed. It's very frustrating.

I am convinced the reason why Hillary made up that "3 a.m. phone call" ad
in the first place is that she wants to "take that call"... to launch a nuclear
attack against Russia. I also believe that the people who control her want
to see it happen, thinking they will rise from their hiding places to control
what's left forever.
It can be no doubt this ad is her fantasy, to have that kind of power,
and 3 am is the devil's hour.
