Trump's big speech tonight is still saying he will have a "great wall" built. We will see if he wins (If he wins).
Where is Hillary? Is she hiding out?
She sure is quiet. This close to the election and Nothing. Never heard of such a thing.
Guess she is assuming she has won the election.

The EU claims that Apple only paid 50 euros in tax for every million earned. For 10 years! Of course they will deny it - they have to. And the Irish Government will do the same. They'll say anything to make themselves appear squeaky clean which they are anything but. But where there's smoke there's fire. The sh*t is going to hit the fan. No doubt about it.

Sounds interesting.
Also, that's really bad PR for Apple.

Trump is sure making his rounds. He is working hard to get every vote.
Glad he corrected his stand on illegals. Of course we will see.

CNN reported that the Libertarians led by Gary Johnson, are hovering around 10% of the popular vote. They could seriously cut into the GOP vote.
Politics - Oceansoul - 06-09-2016
Gary Johnson sounds sane based on what I've heard him say so that can't be a bad thing. I don't consider myself a Libertarian though.

Why does Trump believe Russia is a potential ally of ours? It doesn't make sense to view Putin as a friend, he seems to pretty much dislike the US and he allies with some of the most corrupt leaders too. The US isn't without fault either given our relationship with Saudi Arabia's leaders. But still, Russia is involved because Assad is in power and Putin wants to keep it that way. Knocking the regime out of power would create another vacuum, it's not because he cares about Syrians. Sigh, now we have some Russian hackers trying to get into the Pentagon's system.
Russia would go to war with us, y'know? If we do anything to say... Iran...I'm pretty sure that would be WWIII. I don't want that to happen either and that's why I cringe whenever another political candidate says we should mess with countries like Iran. Ticking time bomb...
Edited to add: Of course, a war isn't in Russia's best interest considering their economic problems. Putin wants to restore Russia's influence like it use to have and letting Assad's regime fall under ISIL's control would not bode well for his goals, it seems.
Politics - Jerome - 07-09-2016
He doesn't. That's just political rhetoric. The basic bottom line is the USA is totally screwed. Neither of the candidates are fit for office. I think Americans should call for a referendum to cancel the elections until suitable possible candidates for office can be found. The current two do not have a clue about leadership and neither displays any integrity whatsoever. They are basically just wealthy scum. What I would like to know is how could the two parties actually endorse these idiots? Major balls-up on the horizon!
The only other question I have is which country is the USA going to invade once one of these morons is elected?
Politics - Lovely Linda - 07-09-2016
Interesting reponses guys!!
Russia is a concern I have about Trump! Why does he feel the need to express his "friendship" with Putin.
Does not seem being friends with a ex-KGB would help him. I don't get it.
Like I said before, we have not had a decent Pres. since Reagan.
Now it's who can buy their way or be crooked enough to get theirself in the WH.
If it were us we would be under the jail.
As for nukes, they are coming. It's just a matter of time. They are here for a reason.

Btw, Greta Van Susteren is out of FOX. Who cares.
She never fit in there anyway.
