      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        • Yeah, most are probably normal, good, though naive people, who are easily conned, but there is a certain percentage of his supporters that, like Trump himself, are just deplorable human beings. You see thats what they do, they rile you all up about side issues, (you notice you don't hear about the bathroom issue anymore) while they screw you over on economic issues. Did you notice that Trump is said to be going to personally be a Billion dollars richer with the new republican tax bill, while he's out there telling all the sheep that he and all his wealthy friends are going to lose bigly. Lol.

              Well, there's a lot of people that need shooting.

              2 Kings 19:22-24
              And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.


              Whether he was a good choice or bad, people selected Trump because he had a strong personality. They wanted to shake things up.

              • If you can't see what a crook Trump is, and you obviously can't, then your credibility concerning Clintons character is not worthy of anyones consideration.

                Nope, I didn't hear it from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Alex Jones or any of those paid liars Lilpix. And unless you yourself are rich, then you aren't going to keep any more of your money worth talking about Lilpix, this tax bill is structured for the rich, not the middle class or the poor.

                  Nah instead you heard it heard it from the paid liars on CNN. Source please...

                  Funny because most say yes you will, but keep listening to the CNN paid liars that tell you letting you keep more of your own money is theft.

                    The fact that the Democrats nominated one of the most disliked candidates they ever had probably had something to do with it.

                      Funny how the problem area just happens to be where a substantial number of people of a different religion (in this case Christian) are living so the Muslims attempted to forcibly expel them.

                      And IIRC, Bali is in Indonesia. Bali is a popular tourist destination and has been struck by terrorism in 2002 where over 200 people died and again in 2005 when 20 more died and over 100 injured.

                      And according to Indonesia Investments:

                      On several occasions Indonesia has made global headlines due to vicious terrorist attacks and the presence of terrorist networks (and training camps) that may be connected to the militant Al-Qaeda group. Indonesia is also considered one of the world's largest suppliers of Islamic State (IS) fighters, with more than 500 Indonesians having joined the war in Syria and Iraq (it is estimated that more than 100 have traveled back to Indonesia after having fought alongside the militant organization), based on data from the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT). It illustrates the existence of a radical Muslim community that not only believes Islam should be the sole guidance in life but is also willing to use extreme measures to reform and uproot established conditions.


                      Still, Indonesia is considered one of the more "moderate" Islamic countries -- much like how Turkey was a couple decades ago.

                          The same thing happened in Spain when the Christians regained power after 900 years of benign and enlightened Muslim rule. The Christians introduced the barbarity of the Spanish Inquisition to kill off the Muslims and Jews. I would say that the problem is religion itself. But I guess that for you the problem is the OTHER religions..

                          Bali is predominantly Hindu actually and relatively safe...and very beautiful I might add. The rest of Indonesia is Muslim.

                            Yeah, Hillary C. was so unpopular that she matched Obamas 2012 popular vote tally of nearly 66 million, and beat Trump overall by 3 million votes.

                              That actually might mean something if our electoral process was determined by popular vote. She is not POTUS because she put all her marbles in electoral votes (states) and lost.

                              By the way, why wasn't she at least FIFTY points ahead?

                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                Ummm...both things can be true. Clinton and Trump were statistically the least popular two candidates ever fielded by either party. The split of the vote is simply a function of "tribal" voting. We live in an age where people simply go out and vote for their team - without a great deal of critical thought, IMO. So Democrats lined up in droves for Clinton, or stayed home. Republicans lined up in droves for Trump - or stayed home. Althought the popular vote was 3 million wide, the electoral difference was 70-80 thousand votes in three states - a tiny fraction of the overall 130 million votes cast.

                                2018 and 2020 are going to be very interesting...
                                The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
