The fact that Trump, for all his outrageous antics, is still leading polls isn't a statement on his outstanding diplomatic skills, but on the state of inside politics in Washington. People are willing to take a chance on a crazy outsider than to trust their futures to the corrupted and greedy politicians chosen by their oligarchical overlords.

Yes, this 1000%. Elections have always been about choosing the lesser of two evils. It's pretty embarrassing when someone like Trump is showing all these people up. It goes to show just how much people hate the insider crowd. I don't much care for many of Trump's ideas nor do I share his views on many things, but it is refreshing to see such a scathing indictment of the moneyed interests/de facto aristocracy/puppets in Washington.

Even if he "made it up" about Muslims celebrating, I firmly believe that even if it wasn't caught on camera, there were some celebrating in America even if within the confines of their own homes.

Well, if this isn't enough proof that Trump fabricated the entire story, I don't know what is..a lie detector?

Well, the evidence should be easily produced, then. And no - "it is well known" is still not evidence.

And "vitriolic", really? I am just having a bit of fun.

I really can't help it if your side of the debate runs off in half a dozen contradictory directions. When one guy explains "thousands and thousands" is obviously a figure of speech while another is insisting it's literal truth, why should either one be taken seriously? We even had someone argue that "New Jersey" was open to interpretation.

From what I understand, they only work on (a subset of) people who have some sort of working definition of "truth".

In the early days of Islam putting up a mosque was like planting the flag. After every victory they would build a mosque on the site such as they did in Mecca, Jerusalem, and Constantinople. It is done even now. It says we have “arrived”.

Yeah, today I said it took me “forever" to drive to work. Do you have to apologize?

Two hours before the attack in Paris, the concert goers could have asked when have been attacked by Belgians of Syrian descent? You want to see blood in the street then act, much like what the Paris and Belgian police are doing. They boast of thousands of arrests and raids. Why didn’t you do it before so people could live? They know exactly where the cesspools are.

BTW, why did you ask me to post a link if you had already read it?

What's left - is he sure of the date?
Amazingly, it doesn't even matter to his fan club if he tells bald faced lies, they will comtinue to act as serial enablers.
