The live stream just started, so Trump should probably be speaking within the hour.


Trump laying down the Fuckin' fire, not having any of the BS.

It's unreal how much the press is reaching to make this controversial, when they've been shown that all the money has been paid out and not a penny was spent on administration.


Weak, low energy reporter:

"You say you didn't want the credit but yet you held a very public fundraiser"

Trump:

"How am I supposed to raise the money"?


Just crazy.

I'm happy to be the first one to report (on here) that the unhinged, Trump-hating radio host Glenn Beck has been suspended by his radio network, Sirius-FM for the rest of the week.

This happened after Beck had author Brad Thor (who???) on as a guest and Thor apparently made threats against Trump. The company's official statement read: "The author made comments that could be construed as "advocating harm against an individual currently running for office."

I've never heard of Brad Thor and I read a lot. It bugs me that no-name authors are getting free publicity from making threats like this. They might get their 15 minutes of fame, but they're setting a dangerous tone.

I hope Secret Service or the FBI investigates this guy to the point of doing a rectal exam. Threats are the lowest. As much as I don't like some politicians, I've never even jokingly said anything like this. What a lowlife. And I hope Beck decides to quit after this. What a windbag.

Trump is possibly the first candidate (ever in US history?) to turn the tables on the disgusting press and "journalists". I'm loving every second of it.

They are so used to being buddy-buddy with the Washington elite and not being held accountable for their lies that Trump's tactics are completely throwing them off.

War hero and self-sacrificing, beloved leader of the Gauls, Vercingetorix, was unfairly executed by the Caesar. He was also kept prisoner 5 years in a dark small cell, by his heartless, unnecessarily cruel victor, Caesar. Dodgy

In my book, it's probably the lowest, most contemptible act ever committed by a Roman emperor, not to have either pardoned, or quickly executed (by sword, not strangulation), war-hero Vercingetorix. (This bad karma, who knows and hopefully, led to Caesar being stabbed later on: bad karma goes round Banana )

Below, a painting every French schoolchildren used to know (before SJWs determined that history of Vercingetorix had to be all but removed from schoolbooks): depicting local hero Vercingetorix defeated by the heartless, scheming (and illegal migrant) Caesar, throwing his sword at the Roman's feet (in order to save his men from starving to death). Note all eyes on him, not on Caesar...

Well, anyway, I think that Trump is probably a mix of both: patriotic and bold (and Celtic-looking) like Vercingetorix, but intelligent, innovative and great builder of wall - like the Roman Caesar.

Incidentally, note that Caesar won over my Gaul ancestors by... building a wall (a counter-wall of fortifications surrounding the first French wall of fortifications, imagine that). Proof that walls do work, always have!

Cesar's "counter" wall of fortification at Alesia, and it worked:

Quick post from cell phone: Bloomberg politics and msnbc pundit Mark Halpern has said David French is the Bill Kristol White Knight

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/artic...ential-run

Edit- I have never heard of this guy but then again I don't read NRO. Looks like he is a writer there. I feel like I'm pretty plugged into politics and have no idea who this guy is. How will he mobilize donors? Seems really unorganized.

David French, huh? So they're going to try to replace a guy who fills stadiums and has been in the news every day for years with a man no one has ever heard of.

Brilliant plan. Brill Kristol is a marketing genius. (Rolls eyes.) Maybe next time Madonna sells out a big concert hall, he should substitute someone like Jann Arden* at the last minute and tell the waiting audience they have to accept her because he knows what's best for them.

* No offense to Jann Arden who is an obscure '90s pop singer. Just giving an example to point out how absurd and offensive Kristol's ideas are.

LOL!!

I saw this David French news a little while ago, and this is the only possible reaction:

Laugh4

I mean this is literally some tradcon dude who bloviates on NRO, I ran across his bullshit a few times scanning their site.

These people are laughable. The latest independent candidate tease from Kristol had me worried because it sounded like maybe they've convinced Romney to run, which would be a real problem. For it to be some random NRO bloviator -- well -- I guess Manafort and crew don't really need to hit the phones and start making urgent threats, LOL.

They've lost what little credibility they had, and the idea of a meaningful independent run seems to be completely dead now. Good news, and good riddance.

He should probably get a chin before thinking of running for president ( and no, I don't mean he should adopt a Chinese baby).

I know Bill Kristol is dim, but I'm not even sure anyone can be this stupid.

I still don't like it and I do hope Manafort and his people get this thing purged fast, but no one has ever heard of this guy and they need to get both money and funding to get on the ballots like I posted before.

Fucking laughable. The impotence of cuckservatives in a nutshell.

This is unbelievable!

I know Trump has an IQ of 156 (mine is 142-44 depending on the test but that is debatable and besides the point).

But really, can Kristol be so stupid as to expect this cuck chap (guy) is a contender.

And can Hillary with all her billions be so stupid as to make her slogan; "LOVE TRUMP(s hate)".

And not to know any of the persuasion (s)kills Trump is using (Crooked Hillary etc).

I live in England and my father in Scotland, and on a visit a few weeks ago we talked and even he described Hillary as "crooked". That label has gone round the world and stuck. There is no getting away from that. Hilary is now forever "crooked". It's not just the mere art of persuasion as the Dilbert guys says. These labels that Trump "markets" his enemies with "crooked", "lyin'", "low energy", "Crazy" and now "Pocahontas" all stick because there is fundamental truth in the labelling.

true genius! i can't wait till Trump is president!

Except Vercingetorix was a great chieftain warrior that died for his people at the hands of one of history's greatest emperors, Kristol is a traitor that no one will know about or remember in a few years.

This David French news is concerning. Imagine the hundreds or even a thousand Weekly Standard readers voting for him instead of Trump. That hundred or so people will be soooo devastating! Sad!

Kidding of course. This is really great news. I was worried they would get a Romney or Kasich. Those guys could have had an a real impact. This guy is a nobody.

Everybody get on Twitter and help me get #ClimateHoax trending.

Those smug, dumb sophists and charlatans preaching global warming have to be insulted by me personally. They think they're actually smarter than Trump. If you can retweet my posts that would be awesome. I'm going to spend a couple hours talking shit about all the faggotry endemic in the hard sciences.

Does anyone here have a link to the state deadlines and signatures needed for a third party candidate? This French thing is not really concerning, but if he needs quite a few signatures in some of these upcoming states, he might not even get to the starting line. That would be funny to see. Probably would make Trump look better to.

This whole incident made it abundantly clear the Achilles-like hatred I have of "Conservatism, Inc." I hate those people more than the iron gates of death.

You see, I hate the left too, but I do respect them. The left believes in something. It has drive. It's motivated. It wants to win. Its adherents want to advance their ideals.

"Conservatives?" They just want to clutch pearls and look respectable in the eyes of the left. They don't care about winning, not really, at any rate. Look at low-energy Jeb who reneged on his pledge to support the nominee and instead stated the highest priority was to keep control of congress. Did he get anything from going back on his word? No. Trump would though.

"Conservatives" stand for nothing. The only "principles" they seem to have and care so much about are a rigged market under the guise of being "free market," but even if the market was "truly free," a market does not a nation make (something libertarians just don't understand). Their precious ideas, when they exist at all, are utterly transparent and powerless, and this is part of why they lose.

But they don't really care because they somehow think this makes them look "respectable." Of course, because being respected by people who hate you matters. I seem to recall Mittens being called a misogynist last time, who now has the gall to call Trump one as if he can't even remember the left used the same tactics on him, and it's part of why they won, again.

In short, the left has more redeeming virtues than "conservatives," at least in their character and mindset, which is telling of just how utterly weak and pathetic "conservatives" are.

Fuck them. The sooner "Conservatism, Inc." dies and the new right rises, the better.

Edit: @Eastside, I posted it a couple of pages back.

There is no "hard science" when it come to the conventional views of ""climate change""! and plenty of "faggotry", whatever that my be. Apart from the fact that climate has always changed and that the last ice age was 12,000 years ago and we are due another one very soon.

I found a prescient quote from The Last Psychiatrist. I've noticed many on the forum are fans of his, including 2Wycked and AnonymousBosch.

Quote:Navelgazer: "Maybe we've been here before. Maybe we've faced worse. Who cares? This is what we've got to deal with now." That sums it up.

My point in taking the other side of this-- that rancor has always existed-- is that that rancor, while apparently terrible, may be the whole thing that makes America work better than Parliamentary systems (as Craig Ferguson would say: I look forward to your letters.)

We can look at this as a dialectic of sorts, back and forth but upwards, spiraling towards something-- let's call it better. You have a Carter, so you get a Reagan, and then you get a Clinton. You have a Bush, so then you get an Obama, so then you get... I will bet every dime I have that whoever the next President is, R or D, he will be the concrete response to abstract ideologies of the two, he will be what pulls America out of this, and when I say bet I mean a literal bet that is being made for me, for all of us, what happens post-Obama may well define America for the rest of America.
