Ok if you want to split hairs about US/U.K. Equivilants, just google the USA national debt. I can't be arsed to get into internet tit for tat.
Ok. It's pretty bad and not surprising given how much the US spends on military. However have you read Spunky's economic proposals? He's going to cut taxes mainly for the wealthy and increase spending to the extent that the US national debt is going to increase by several trillion. He makes Corbyn look like Scrooge.

This is just one of the reasons why so many GOP politicians detest him. They KNOW he's lying through his back teeth and that, IF he gets in and IF he manages to implement any of his policies, he's going to f'k up the economy beyond all belief.

Not to worry though, he will keep on spouting the same bo11ox that has got him so far and morons will carry on believing him.

Google Democrat voter fraud, the list is endless. Ignorance is bliss.
No wonder you're so happy!
biggrin

The thing is, he's NOT happy. He's miserable. Probably no job, or minimum wage, probably limited education, and full of bitterness and envy because others have a bigger house, a better car, and a prettier wife. And along comes Trump, to play him and his mates like a banjo, reassuring him that it's not HIS fault. It's IMMIGRANTS. It's Mexicans, Muslims, Chinese, who are taking his jobs etc etc. and giving him a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

The gullible plank doesn't realise that Trump doesn't give a flying f'k about him. if he read up about Kitlery's background he'd realise that her and Bill have done far more for poor people in America than Trump ever has. But doesn't matter... IMMIGRANTS !!

I think he will win the popular and electoral college vote. Everywhere I have been I see massive support for Trump. In 2016, I've met 1 person who said they will vote for her, 1 bumper sticker, about 5 yard signs, that's it for Hitlerly.

I can't begin to say or count the Trump support. Serious vote rigging will be needed for Trump to lose.
The trouble is, unless you've traveled the length and bredth (sp) of the country, its not really a true measure of anything.

we've just had a mayoral vote here and the only signs for Mayor I saw was for 1 person, yet someone else became Mayor.

Why don't you explain what's wrong with the article?

Far as I can tell, they're basically saying that the only servers regularly looking up trump-email.com DNS records were those belonging to a Russian bank. There was a disproportionate amount of traffic from those hosts.
Oddly enough, once the story became public, a new domain was registered, using the same host and the same Russian servers started trying to resolve it.

I'd be inclined to think the story deserves further investigation, especially given that Paul Vixie seems to find it believable.
so how is that proof of "secret communication"?! not to mention all other illogical stuff


anyway :

Hope Hicks:

“First of all, it’s not a secret server,” said Trump campaign press secretary Hope Hicks. “The email server, set up for marketing purposes and operated by a third-party, has not been used since 2010. The current traffic on the server from Alphabank’s [sic] IP address is regular DNS server traffic – not email traffic.”

“To be clear, The Trump Organization is not sending or receiving any communications from this email server,” Hicks continued. “The Trump Organization has no communication or relationship with this entity or any Russian entity.”

U.S. Officials Doubt Donald Trump Has Direct Link to Russia
http://archive.is/Gyf2m#selection-2059.0-2067.308

NYT said:
WASHINGTON — For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign. Agents scrutinized advisers close to Donald J. Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead — which they ultimately came to doubt — about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.
Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.
STUDY: Big Three Networks Attack Comey Over Clinton by 3 to 1
MRC said:
Beginning with the evening (October 28) of the announcement through Monday morning (October 31) MRC analysts reviewed all statements (by reporters, analysts, and partisans) that took a position on Comey and Clinton and found arguments against Comey (88) swamped those against Clinton (31) by a ratio of almost 3 to 1. There were a handful of statements that praised either Comey (10) or Clinton (4)

Given Trump's record of lying whenever he opens his mouth, I don't find that totally convincing - if the "Trump Organisation" has nothing to do with this server, who does own/use trump-email.com?

The secretary is, to put it politely, spouting utter nonsense. So it's a server hosting a domain name registered to the Trump Organisation. The only reason the server could be trying to resolve that trump-email.com domain so frequently is if there is communication of some sort between them. It could be the trump server is simply spamming them or it could be genuine email traffic.

Also doesn't explain why it started using the new domain shortly after the story went public.

I never claimed it was proof - that's an assumption you made. I suggested it needed further investigation to see if there's any truth to the story.

What problems is the west facing?
Seriously? Where the heck do you start?! Western economies running seriously high debt whilst a high % the population struggles to achieve basic living. Young people having no chance of buying a house, Students leaving uni with huge debt then can't get a job. NHS up st creek without a paddle. Jeez I could go on all night.
LOL if you think Trump can solve any of that. He doesn't have a clue about the causes of OECD economies' demise, let alone how to solve it.

This analysis is 4 years old - but still pretty relevant and on the money. If you think Trump (or Clinton) will or can do anything to solve the wage disparity issue, you're going to be disappointed.

Symptomatic of Trump's modus operandi.

If the judge rules against him in the fraud case it's because the Judge is "mexican". if he doesn't then it's despite the fact that he's mexican.

Trump lies so much that people have given up challenging him on it. But let's not forget some emails....

Bill Maher was very good this week, on false equivalence and other stuff.

The lime that Trump would replace Obamacare with something, 'terrific' was amusing.

CNN drops Donna Brazile after Wikileaks reveals her feeding debate questions to HRC
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/cnn...

I love that after the DNC leaks, where Chairwoman Debbie Wassermann Schultz and other key members resigned, Donna was appointed interim Chair of the DNC. She, unsurprisingly, is more of the same, and gets dropped by CNN laugh
