Laugh at Trump all you want

[comeu]

I don't know if that make sens, but the more I hear and read about US/ politics the more I wish I spend more time on a board. SUP and "water sports" teached me humility, harmony and respect , both things Donald and Hilary (and our world leaders) desperately seek.
The problem is global.

You should elect a surfer president.

And yet ....  it may not matter.

Trump is basically even at this point.  And it looks like it will again come down to the wire in a few electoral college swing states.  Many of these voters may not really care about truth policy facts debates and fit to be President.  They just see -

1     The same old lying slimy gravy train woman politician vs;
2     A change and say it like it is - smart tough rich businessman

Trump really has momentum and a viable chance to win - but not the way he is going at the moment.  If he continues down rabbit holes in the next debate and to the finish -> he will simply hand the Presidency which is his for the taking - right over to Clinton.

ratchet, ratchet, ratchet.  Up after every down, tightening all the while.  shock, desensitize, turn up the voltage, shock, de....

And back at team Shimmy HQ, "inconceivable" in a perfect Wallace Shawn chorus.

Speaking of PBS. They also just aired Frontline - "The Choice".

http://www.pbs.org/video/2365848966/

It frames that Trump is running for revenge and just because he can and that Clinton has held her line and made her life/work choices based solely on this opportunity. Some bias involved but quality show none the less.

To be honest, if I choose to buy into this system and vote for the lesser of two jerk faces I may just vote for Clinton. While the two party system and candidates are still lacking many ideals I do support the "idea" of a woman president and definitely liberal butts in the chairs of the Supreme Court.
 
The single thought that I agree with Trump on is that our infrastructure needs serious rehaualing. He calls it "3rd World" for effect but its definitely lacking in current day standards.

That's an interesting statement but it's a problem that's been talked about for years by our current president;

So why the lack of action? Look no further then the current majority in the house and senate. I guess they are waiting for interest rates to rise and a republican president to do anything about the problem.

Wow!  Strategists on both sides for once agree on the same topic.  Now not at the level of - tell me what makes you happy master - zombie robot surrogates ... but still.  And Dean using the same innuendo play as Trump to get some free easy mainstream media air time.  Ratings will get you that every time.  And Trump has used that masterfully.  Has saved him millions.  Good business accumen in fact.

The final few weeks will be like no other reality Apprentice TV show with Trump himself lobbing up so much new material as he tweets from his phone.  But yes desensitize the millions - with WWE and UFC brawl mentality on the national stage - and foreign.  Fat shame.  Slut shame.  The Presidency and US policy governance reduced to his tweets.  Will he win just enough votes to finally say -> You're Fired!!!

And while they talk about Miss whatever, civilian contractors fleece our country for hundreds of millions in Iraq.  Bank reform, term limits??   No mention.

You've probably seen it, but didn't see it posted here.  Hilarious.

We're not allowed to watch that outside the US.

If it's educated logical content not that is even scarier!

I hate that content and local settings. Internet wasn't meant to be that.

[LaPerouseBay]

^Seems odd that PBS is restricted from sharing content.  Oh well.

The Frontline was 2 hours of personal background on both candidates.
I wish the world could see that show.  I found it tough to watch.

My link was 30 minutes of Bill Adair, inventor of politifact.  He is teaming up with heavy hitters in artificial intelligence (including google) to fact check politicians in real time, as they speak.  Something similar to the truth o meters in the link below will pop up on TV's and social media.

From Ella Kazan's 1957 'A Face in the Crowd' with Andy Griffith years before he played the hokey sheriff in Mayberry RFD.  He was great, I think as good as Brando but Kazan is the common denominator.  At any rate this movie is chilling when viewed in today's environment.

Relying on PBS and saying there is just a "slight" bias is silly Free. I watch and listen to a lot of PBS/NPR programming. I haven't yet watched this one but my take on most of what PBS produces is that they basically lie by omission.  I can't tell you the number of times I've heard them discuss major issues while leaving out conservative talking points as to the root causes, while promulgating progressive solutions.

This (to me) pretty much sums it up.......

Nor am I relying on PBS to tell me how to vote or expecting them to give me the full story of the two candidates running to control our oligarchy. I wrote "some" bias not slight which allows the reader to discern and quantify the amount for themselves.

Really its just a post that I figured many would not have seen. Im a huuuuuge Frontline fan and figured Id just pass this one along for others to enjoy not necessarily educate.
