Fucking Coward! Plain and Simple.

He wants to change the presidential debate dates and claims that the whole thing is rigged. Typical yellow-belly, lilly-livered scumbag response....
just so, when he loses, he can say it was rigged.

The Non-partisan commission determined the scheduled debates more than several months ago; way before the NFL schedule was released. Where was he when the schedule was announced? Why didn't he complain then? One more statement - What a maroon! Like the NFL said:

'Hey, let's really screw with Trump and schedule games on the nights of the debates.'

Ladies and gentlemen! It's official, he's a dickhead!

What we know about the presidential debates and the NFL schedule

Paul Manafort, the manager of Donald Trump's campaign, said Sunday that Republican nominee's camp plans to meet with the Commission on Presidential Debates over the general-election debate dates, after Trump's accusation that Democrats were rigging the schedule in hopes of a smaller audience. Two of three general-election debates are scheduled on the same night as National Football League games.

The commission and the NFL have rejected Trump's accusation. The nonpartisan, independent commission said Sunday that a debate "has never been rescheduled as a result" of a conflict with NFL games. Here's what we know about the commission's debate scheduling.

The general-election debate schedule was announced seven months before the NFL released its 2016 regular-season schedule.

The commission announced the 2016 debate schedule Sept. 23, 2015, setting the three presidential debates for Sept. 26, Oct. 9 and Oct. 19, and the vice-presidential debate for Oct. 4. The commission announced its schedule nearly seven months before the NFL announced its 2016 regular-season schedule, in April 2016.

Even the old angry white guys are getting tired of his schtick and tired of defending him. He is breaking a sweat; actually he's sweating profusely.
He knows he's toast and he's trying to turn the tables by saying that "they"
are limiting him. It's almost pitiful.

Reports indicate that he may drop out of the debates altogether, like he did for the last primary debate. As for his campaign staff being under funded and so forth, he'll say that is rigged as well. Funny thing, do you see any Russian Trolls about? Hmmmmmm.

Oh well, this is so much fun because the tent is definitely folding faster than a cheap umbrella. That streak that you see flashing by is not Donald's toupee set on fire, it's a three horse race headed for the door - Slim, None and Dashed Hopes are running neck 'n neck..............

Tune in next time folks for the photo finish.

He was in OH last night for a "rally" - ha! 1000 people in folding chairs off to the side of the main exhibition floor. He must have freaked when he saw the venue because he held an impromptu press conference before the event in a hallway. "This is so political. They have us limited all of a sudden to 1000 people. It's disgusting what they're doing. It's totally political. It's a shame."
Our local reporter then went on to explain that his people knew this was the space and how many people it would be limited to well in advance, that he couldn't have the larger space on such short notice after the previous event had just finished. The previous event? Comic Con. A win for the geeks & nerds. If John Kasich had something to do with it I would be very proud.

Obama Says Trump Is "Unfit" to Be President

Obama is playing Trump's game: getting free media exposure by saying something outrageous. I doubt that any sitting president has ever said something even remotely similar about an opposing party's presidential candidate.

Here's the question: Is Obama doing this just to hit Trump hard? Or is he doing it in the very deliberate hopes of baiting Trump into going completely ballistic?

I don't know Second. I just think that he's riffing on a theme stemming from the TRUTH! He IS unfit, is it so outrageous? Besides Obama has a deep abiding "dislike" for the candidate, ever since Trump picked a fight by questioning his birthright. Plus he's doing his duty as a fellow Dem by going on the offensive in keeping with the tradition of party unity.

What POTUS is saying is anything but outrageous, and actually quite mild-mannered, if you ask me (and you did ask). Perhaps there's a part of Obama
that wants to see him squirm. I hope he breaks his foot off of his ass.

It could happen!

There are many who know Trump personally, some very close to him that suggest he does not want to lose or win. He wants to come very close, claim it was rigged and make millions off his next TV show. Which by the way will be designed to cater to his current fans. He is setting the stage now so he can say I told you so. I am not a loser, the system is rigged.

You know how you hear the twins use a phrase right before you see it on the 'Net sometimes? Maybe it's just timing and it's been on the web already, but still...
So I'm starting to see "rigged" used in reference to "war with Russia." We've seen those 2 trot out that idea/phrase in various forms for a while, and often, especially in terms of "If Hillary is elected... nuclear armageddon... she wants war with Russia." And now I'm seeing references (Eastern EU news paper with Russian leanings) of stories suggesting the same thing, "World War III is inevitable, it's rigged Because of the West, Because of Clinton...
Sewing those seeds? The cagey KGB at work passing out free disinformation?



Yes I believe he sees (it’s all rigged) as his way of saving face when he loses. Two things I heard on Morning Joe this morning. Many Republicans in this country are asking if Trump is a sociopath; no joke. The second thing is that all serious people who are in politics are shitting themselves over the chance he may become President. Also ABC told trump not to come back because of all the crap he has said to alienate most Americans.

They are also talking about Americans standing behind the Kahn family the way they have, as helping to show the world what Americans are all about. Thank whomever for that.

I believe it is over for Trump.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



use a phrase right before you see it on the 'Net sometimes

Are you says that we're ahead of the curve, and find out and think things before everyone else? Or do you really think Putin controls the ENTIRE 'net and we're his shocktroops? Or are we just Putin troll wannabes, like THUGGR NOW claims? And what does 'right before' mean? Does three and a half months ago at the start of the 'Hillary' thread count? http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=60433&p=1 Or is that TOO early to be 'just before'?

You post is very confusing! Even incoherent.




Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

I do too. It's almost like he's committing political suicide lately. No props for McCain or Ryan while Pence just endorsed them - it's very odd. His pettiness online - it's a disaster. It's hard to believe he has any kind of end game with these moves. I can imagine him having a private moment with Melania saying, "Oh, don't worry. I have no intention of being president. Who the hell needs that kind of aggravation!"



Senior GOP Officials Exploring Options if Trump Drops Out

He's in Wisconsin right now giving a "Law & Order" speech, yes, believe me.

He claims that he's worried about the African Americans in the state that have been taken advantaged of by the Dems. This in front of an all-white rally in the suburbs of Wisconsin, 45 minutes away from Milwaukee.

Let's make America wealthy again, and he blames the Dems for all the poverty
in the inner cities. That the Dems control all the businesses in the inner city and have failed miserably.

I didn't know that Dems controlled all the companies in the cities in the U.S.

He claims that he, as president, would not allow companies to take their jobs
to other countries. Poverty and broken school systems are because of the Dems
running the school systems across the country.

He keeps referring to the Milwaukee even though he's outside the city in the suburbs some 45 minutes away. Strange.

Now he's talking about Hillary receiving special favors as a politician from businesses and lobbyists. That's funny. He stated that he, as president, will pass a law that will prevent any politician from charging and accepting
millions of dollars in speaking fees until 5 years after they leave office.

There's more but I have to go.

Donald Trump Decides He'd Rather Have Fun Than Be President

He thinks the big problem with his campaign is that it's just too damn stuffy:

Trump, following weeks of gnawing agitation over his advisers’ attempts to temper his style, moved late Tuesday to overhaul his struggling campaign by rebuffing those efforts and elevating two longtime associates who have encouraged his combative populism.

Stephen Bannon, a former banker who runs the influential conservative outlet Breitbart News and is known for his fiercely anti-establishment politics, has been named the Trump campaign’s chief executive....Trump’s stunning decision effectively ended the months-long push by campaign chairman Paul Manafort to moderate Trump’s presentation and pitch for the general election. And it sent a signal, perhaps more clear than ever, that the real-estate mogul intends to finish this race on his own terms, with friends who share his instincts at his side.

Apparently Trump has decided that if he's going to kick the bucket in November, he wants to do it with friends and family at his bedside when he breathes his last. Instead of losing by seven or eight points, he might lose by a dozen instead. But at least he'll put on a helluva show in the meantime.

He isn't fit to be President SECOND. It's obvious and not an outrageous statement of the kind Trump makes. When he says it he always gives many reasons why; all valid. I have never in my life seen someone so unqualified besides Sarah Palin.
