Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

A great example of something someone who knows shit-all about information security would say.

 

Dude, take it up with the president:

These cyberthreats are among the most urgent dangers to America’s economic and national security.

Protecting U.S. Innovation From Cyberthreats

 

Are you claiming to be some kind of expert?

 

You don't need to know much about "information security" to know that someone, somewhere is constantly trying to hack our government's sensitive information and it's probably a good idea to try and stop them from doing so.

 

Can I be honest for a second? I do have concerns. I do think they inevitably break rules. It's in their nature. Now, will they be illegally selling weapons to revolutionaries to overthrow an enemy government? I don't think they'll go that far. But I think she will hire cronies (like yer boy Blumenthal!) who will do corrupt, possibly illegal shit. And my disappointment will be considerable, despite feeling like I should expect it.

That said, I cannot begin to imagine the level of corruption a Trump Administration will indulge in. Just trying to wrap my brain around the number of laws that will be broken, either willfully or because Natalie Gulbis is put in charge of the Department of Education, feels like a daunting exercise.

The Clintons, in my opinion, try to do good but often have little problem operating in moral gray areas.

The Trumps are some of the most ethically bankrupt people alive. It would not surprise me in the least if they were burning documents in a barrel in the middle of the Oval Office three weeks into the presidency.

 

The Houston Chronicle, in the gun-crazy, dead-red state of Texas, emphatically endorses Clinton:

The Chronicle editorial page does not typically endorse early in an election cycle; we prefer waiting for the campaign to play out and for issues to emerge and be addressed. We make an exception in the 2016 presidential race, because the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is not merely political. It is something much more basic than party preference.

An election between the Democrat Clinton and, let's say, the Republican Jeb Bush or John Kasichor Marco Rubio, even the hyper-ideological Ted Cruz, would spark a much-needed debate about the role of government and the nation's future, about each candidate's experience and abilities. But those Republican hopefuls have been vanquished. To choose the candidate who defeated them - fairly and decisively, we should point out - is to repudiate the most basic notions of competence and capability.

Any one of Trump's less-than-sterling qualities - his erratic temperament, his dodgy business practices, his racism, his Putin-like strongman inclinations and faux-populist demagoguery, his contempt for the rule of law, his ignorance - is enough to be disqualifying. His convention-speech comment, "I alone can fix it," should make every American shudder. He is, we believe, a danger to the Republic.

These are unsettling times that require a steady hand: That's not Donald Trump.

 

That Trump. What a jerk. /Houston Chronicle

 

Who'd they endorse in the last several elections?

 

One of the largest newspapers in all of Texas, which previously endorsed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, has now officially endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

 

More FOSOOP.

The debate about "global warming" is first that it's caused by man so the left can blame productive people. Yet the the left points to previous instances of the climate changing that occurred before man was walking the earth as its "proof." And where is this "proof?" It's a bunch of "scientists" making wild guesses about what happened 251 million years ago. Pardon me for not being sold on wild guesses. And completely pardon me for knowing that some conceited moron trying to tell me what happened 251 million years ago is selling a bill of goods.

Then, the really funny part about it is that the left thinks it can stop the sun and Mother Nature ... BY MAKING EVERYONE LIVE UNDER SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM! Yeah, everyone returning to the Stone Age will fix everything!! It would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking moronic. If the world does warm, you know how man will survive? Air conditioning -- which, ironically, is one of the many Public Enemy No. 1s of the left.

Before man existed, the climate changed enough to create glaciers. And then it changed enough to melt the glaciers. And the left thinks they can stop that. De-fucking-lusional.

The left can't even admit that communism and socialism have never worked, despite mountains of evidence standing before them. And I'm supposed to listen to these shit-for-brains?

 

When pressed on issues, Trump just looks around for more targets. The emperor has no clothes.
