Notice how the "F" was larger for some candidates than others? Subconscious "F"ailure tagging by Fox? Wouldnt put it past the newsentertainment media

haha no I didnt notice that. I just enjoyed when there was a F in the foreground and a F right behind it in the background. 

 

Can we get those presidential hopefuls a F pin for their jackets?

Daily reminder that if you are not stockpiling weapons and have a plan to blow holes in thousands of politicians (somewhat like those gentlemen who got arrested at Jade Helm), you're scum that is directly responsible for your country's imminent descent into 3rd world hellhole. 

Calling bullshit won't make it any less true too.

I can't believe that people who claim to be awake actually watch these "debates".

Half the articles in the so-called alternative media are about this silly circus and Trump's comments.

Politics are a complete waste of time, and I find it totally irrelevant.

The GOP Primary Debate was the highest watched non-sports program in television history, and it was just a bunch of puppets throwing out one-liners.

We really do live in Idiocracy.

Don't vote, don't give this circus legitimacy.  If candidates won with only 5% of citizens voting, they would have no legitimacy.  Voting for the lesser evil makes the ruling elite happy, they get one of their two candidates they control into office, with full citizen legitimacy.  Stop voting.  Then the people can start dismantling the totally corrupted politics and government.

If by the tribe you mean TPTB, then you are correct. If by the tribe you mean the millions of voting sheeple out there, I don't think so. The modern American tribe is deaf, dumb and blind (emphasis on dumb), too self involved with their tech and reality shows to devote any remaining brain cells to figure out what is truly wrong with society and how to fix it. They will blindly vote for whatever drone is placed before them, believing that it will actually make a difference.

For me, this is one point of evidence that something ain't right about the Trump canidadacy. Ron would be ignored out of there. No air time.

The only other way to explain it is that Trump is entertaining, and Ron Paul is not, so Trump stays for the LULZ.

While all nations have their challenges and their woes it seems as if the United States is intent on solving those woes and challenges by creating further challenges and woes, both for itself and others.

Either she has to find a circuit breaker or she will sadly break.

Unfortunately there is no Ron Paul on the horizon because of the acute dishonesty, malevolence and intellectual bankruptcy of the puppeteers owing to their imperatives for control and money making.

"While all nations have their challenges and their woes it seems as if the United States is intent on solving those woes and challenges by creating further challenges and woes, both for itself and others."

You are assuming that the DC US, the criminal occupiers of the American country, are independent.

The DC US is, and acts as, the colonial governors and administrators of Zion's American colony.

When one sees it that way, then a great many things, including the bewilderment contained in your statement, become clear.

Or put better: Trying to understand the goings on in and by the DC US without considering the fifth-column Zionists is a lot like trying to understand colonial India without taking into consideration English colonization and rule--just not possible.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

 

What is Zion: "Zionism is a fifth-column colonial like system of organized plunder and murder that operates on a national and international level via fraudulent-reserve banks, dependent governments, and connected and derivative firms." A victimized country, society, and people will exhibit either much division, plunder, and murder followed by tyranny, or tyranny followed by much division, plunder and murder.

  Come on everybody! All here should know that the reason that Trump is able to do and say what he does is because he doesn't need money. That scares the heck out of the establishment. Most all of the candidates out there are used to campaigning a certain way. They know that under normal circumstances it all boils down to being a popularity contest. If you have some charisma, avoid addressing substantial problems and don't fall on your sword then you have a chance to win. To them, that is what it is all about. Then, once in office, all they need to do is pay back their debts to the special interests (and to heck with other promises to Mr and Mrs Sixpack). But, here comes Trump, talking about anything and everything. Calling the charade exactly what it is and voila! - the curtain is pulled back and all can see the scam for what it is.

  So, now, the establishment candidates really don't know what to do and are very worried about it. It is as if the other 10 or so candidates are all rowing down the election campaign stream when, suddenly, a 400 lbs Trump monster jumps into the middle of the boat from a bridge they are passing under. The ensuing scene is what we are now witnessing.

  The monied powers are also very worried about this. The game has been exposed (a huge sin). The monied powers (including the owners of the networks) are trying everything they know how to do to get rid of him. Unfortunately for them they are using the 'How to get rid of a candidate that needs money' playbook. They are finding it doesn't work on Trump. What's more deleterious to their efforts is the fact that many voters are now very aware of what they are doing.

   What we all need to realize is that there isn't anybody, no matter how well meaning or qualified, that can do what Trump is doing now. The only others that might be able to would be those with the same or greater resources (of their own). Unfortunately, Ron Paul does not have those resources -even with a great amount of grass roots donations. That is the reality.

What is also striking re Trump is that although he has the money to back himself he isn't spending much of it.  As you note, his own money gives him the freedom to speak freely but because he does he creates a media firestorm that brings him support in the community.

He has also stated publicly how the current system works and that he knows because he gives to both parties and gets favors in return (loved his line that he told Hilary to come to his wedding and she came because he gives).  He gets kudos for his honesty while simultaneously dissing all the others who are in the bought category.

If you own gold and silver, you should vote for Hillarious or that guy from the dumb dumb clan, you know' Bush.

I really don't want to be 60 before my gold can retire me.

It's amazing at how Trump has sidelined the other candidates.  Usually there is "The Guy" to beat.  In 1996 it was Dole.  Then it was Bush.  Most of us knew it would be McCain, but Romney gave him a run for his money.  Then of course it would be Romney.  Now it was supposed to be JEB, but Trump just blew up.  He's turned the whole thing into the Donald Trump reality show, and while I hate reality shows and Donald Trump apparently America doesn't.  I think Either JEB or Rubio will push back, though someone like Kasich might creep in on the outside.  I struggle to see Rubio competing for the national republican base.

I don't know if the liquor store guy is joking. We need weak hands to get flushed some more and the ppuke up there PM holdings. The change to strong hands has continued, but I cannot feel a full revulsion bottom yet.
