I canīt claim to be an expert on US politics but if Trump gets elected then i think the US will make more enemies than at present.

Just because you don't like them didn't mean they don't exist

- build a wall on the border
- deport illegals
- halt Muslim immigration
- etc

You do realize that he does not have the authority or the political capital to do any of those things if elected.

The US is already the wealthiest country in the world.

To what time period is he referring to when he says "again".  Nobody can tell me.  Does he mean the 1950s Eisenhower when the top tax rate was 90 plus percent, a rate my Grandfather had to pay which only the one percent had to pay?


The citizens today are not wealthy, but the country is.  Today the top 0.1% in U.S. have almost as much wealth as bottom 90%.

A man used to be able to work a factory job, have a 3 bedroom house, car in the garage and a wife at home cooking dinner as he supports his family on a single income.  Today, that is not possible.  Have any of you ever looked into why this is?

Trump just panders to the simple minded. He looks like he will take the primary easily but , imho, will get trounced in the general. Alot of moderate republicans can't stand him and will vote for Hillary (not that they will admit it). Time will tell. "It's going to be big. Tremendous"

Its like if you asked an eight year old that question, those few things is what he would write. 

You always have to become skeptical when candidates say, "Make America great again." You know they are just pandering to what the voters want to hear. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with wanting to reform things, but that line (Make America great again) just sounds so overused. And voters eat it up every time.

Labeled? He is a self proclaimed one according to wikipedia

It also days he is in favor of the kind of shit politics that Sweden is currently promoting

He thinks that Muslims and Mexicans are the number one problem and I could post about Bernie wanting to destroy ISIS and his policy on immigration, but it would be useless anyways as Chaos will not bother to read, watch or look at any info.

He wants a simple sentence as a solution to a complex problem- "Make America Great Again".

Maybe he's concerned about coming out and saying it, for some reason?  If not that, it makes it look like he isn't trying to find a real solution.  That's one of the main questions I have about him.

I've only voted once in my life (early 20s and I voted for the Independent party), and will not vote this year. Personally, I don't think any politician (democrat or republican) will make things better. If Trump becomes president, so be it. But he won't be able to implement what he wants to implement anyway. Same as most others.

Solutions or not, the States need a president who is aware of the Islam threat and isn't afraid to call shit how he sees it.

They all are aware.  Obama Administration has killed more Muslim terrorists, terror cells and gathered more intel than any other administration in history.  I don't think it will be a problem at all, no matter who is elected.

I do too, hope people look in to her political past and the choices she's made up to this point and make a smarter decision.

I agree with the first part, not so much the last part. Like I've said, I think the average American is sick of politicians and I don't know a single person that is even leaning towards voting for her.
Have you, yourself, ever been in politics Chaos? I think not because you are very quick and outspoken. Your comments regarding my injuries show your immature nature. Politics is tactical. I have been elected here and can say one thing in a sitting you would be ripped apart. It is not like getbig.

I think Putin just endorsed Trump (for whatever that means -- I honestly don't know)

Not sure that it does, or doesn't. Similar to when Obama went to Germany while on the campaign trail. Some need to have affirmation from other world leaders I guess.

In my mind, if a "leader" in another country is busy fucking up that country, then their opinion is something to take the opposite approach against.  All these "leaders" seem to be working together to fuck the world in the ass.

I don't know if that applies to Putin, but just saying for "leaders" in general.

I like Trump or at least what he has to say so far.  I have never wanted a president that apologizes at the drop of his pants but rather a President that refuses to bend over for other heads of state.  Allies are equals and the enemy of my enemy may not yet be a friend but an ally all the same.   

I don't want a president that when someone crosses a line offers to either snort said line or move it back further.  I want a President that strikes fear into the hearts of those that would dare harm us or our allies, but should they harm a single American or ally, these miscreants, their families and any that would harbor them (including nations) will pay with their souls.

I don't want a president that similarly weak leaders want to lock arms and sing Kumbayah with, but rather a President that Leaders of merit and worth will aspire to follow into battle to rid the world of weakness and filth.

I don't want a president that says he's pulling out.  How manly is that?  I want a President that leaves it in there until the job is DONE and then walks away without having to look back wondering if it's finished or not.

I don't want a president that uses the military as an arm of the peace corp.  I want a President that sends the military in there to kill people and break things until the enemy surrenders without condition.  It worked against Germany and Japan during WWII and it will work now.

I want a President that doesn't hyphenate his heritage.   One that will inspire the good people of the world to renounce multi-culturalism and embrace civilization and send the primitives back to their own desolate lands to live like the sheep humping cave people they are. 

On the surface (and that is all we will see of any candidate at this time) this President sounds like Trump.  It doesn't sound like Hillary or Bernie.  If you think otherwise, that's fine and your right and all will be decided at the polls.  If you feeeeeeel otherwise, move on.

It is because the GOP has been slowly chipping away at Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" since Reagan...It was the "New Deal" that was responsible for the prosperity of the post war era for the greatest number of people.

most people cheering for trump don't know his positions on the issues.  His new budget blows 10 trillion of new debt to put 5 million people to work, with massive tax cuts for the super rich.  most cheering for him have no idea about his economic plan.  

they forget back in 2008, it was obama using vague keywords like "change!" which can mean anything to everyone.

Trump replaced that with greatness and it's working just as well.  

So I'm fine if anyone wants to support trump - Just look up his positions on the issues.  Other than "keep out the brown people", the rest of his policies are pretty liberal actually, and he will spend bigtime.  He may be able to bully jeb and rubio... but the people he'll face on the world stage have nukes lol.

In all fairness, Merkel does have a case for second place Person of the Year. I'll grant her that.

But not a chance in hell does anybody else qualify for Person of the Year 2015 other than Donald Trump.

Problem is that the entire process has become one of impropriety.  It's now nearly completely inseparable from the experience in question.  When you think of "expertise" in politics, that's what it is.

So when it comes to political candidates these days, I think that's why Bernie stands out.  It's not so much that he's "great" as it is he's simply doing his job while the others are on their own personal, self-centered quests.

The citizens today are not wealthy, but the country is.  Today the top 0.1% in U.S. have almost as much wealth as bottom 90%.

A man used to be able to work a factory job, have a 3 bedroom house, car in the garage and a wife at home cooking dinner as he supports his family on a single income.  Today, that is not possible.  Have any of you ever looked into why this is?

Taxation.

The US is already the wealthiest country in the world.

"Wealthiest"?  Maybe...maybe not.  But if freedom is wealth, if opportunity is wealth then you're damn right we are the wealthiest nation on the planet.

And in recorded history.

The "American Dream", if you will. 

To my ears, what you are suggesting sounds like we should just  give it away to those who have not earned it.  This line of ignorance is what got banks into trouble because they had to lend to unqualified people for a home because it was somehow now a right.  Same with cars.  Why we bailed those companies out is beyond me.  Nothing is too big to fail that is smart enough to regroup and come back stronger and I think GM and Chrysler would have done so or passed into history.  Giving loans to people who were also unqualified was stupid and done in the name of political correctness.  But this was done and is now history. Learn from the past so as not to repeat the ignorance and  instead duplicate the successes.

No one owes anyone the "American Dream", it must be earned on an individual basis.   Allow me to expand upon this further by stating without reservation that no one owes anyone an apology for slavery.  No one owes anyone an apology for taking this land from the so-called (as they got here first) indigenous peoples.  None of us has a "right" to be liked by everyone.   We all have a right under American Laws to be treated as equals under the law but you cannot legislate either morality or what it means to be human, even when it sometimes results in people behaving as animals.

To be certain, there are things about the 50s that are with merit, just as there are about most any era in civilization.  Civilization.  Not barbarism.  Some would say it is in our nature to behave as animals because we are in fact animals but we can be better. 

As a dear friend taught me, we can choose to be better or bitter.   The later causes us to simmer in the sorrow of our own making.

I see this as a pair of photos which misrepresent two candidates for comedic purposes. It's a joke. But, if the narrative were reversed and Obama were under the umbrella, conservatives would take it very seriously and genuinely believe that whether or not Obama stands under an umbrella is a true indicator of his efficacy as a politician. Conservatives would post it on getbig, on their facebooks, on their black people meet accounts, exuding an "I told you so" attitude with their "proof" that "Obama sucks".

But I get the comedy here. It implies that Obama is tougher than Trump. It's not a serious reason to vote a certain way.

No, it shows that Obama is a monkey and that Trump is a gentleman.
