    If all of Trump's supporters keep voting by phone as many times as they can between now and the 8th maybe they can pull it off. :)

    Some of the key human factors that run as a thread through the Bond villains:
    huge ego, lust for power, bullies, lack of empathy, lust for wealth and over-estimate their own abilities.
    Trump is the perfect Bond villain apart from his lack of intellect.
    PS Philip Green for Bond Villain?

    Unfortunately three or four of those traits apply to me as well.

    Not even so-called wine connoisseurs can tell reds from whites apart, and Trump doesn't strike me as any different. He'd look on the menu, find the most expensive bottle they had and buy it just to act impressive, even if the label said "Fermented Dog Urine."

    Urine is the Trump equivalent of Dom Pérignon, you see.

    You have to admit the analogy works much better with the Dems as the baddies in this case.

    You've got SPECTRE (Clinton Foundation), Blofeld (Obama), Bunt (Michelle?), Grant (Uncle Joe), Kronstein (Bill), & several other shady characters (Robby Mook, Jennifer Palmieri etc.). Moreover, one has deception and deceit and an attempt to pin it on the Russians (YOLT overtones). We also have the crappy American reviews on RT (CNN, MSNBC, MSM etc.)
    ---

    On the other side, one can depend on one man.

    Perhaps along with his trusty MP (Kelly Anne), M (Newt, who has the scars of prior battles or even Bannon) and Q (Assange with his techno leaks). One also has Felix (Christie) as trustworthy loyal friend from a neighbouring state (agency?).
    ---

    Finally, we have the public, who are having a hoot and rooting for the fan favourite.

    Bring on Nov 8th!

    Trump also works closely with the Russian top brass, which mirrors Bond's relationship with Gogol.

    Okay, now I get it. You don't hate Bond, you just want everyone else to, so you compare Trump to Bond, despite the fact that Bond wants to stop hate and intolerance and Trump wants to breed it.

    Considering that its the Repubs that seem keen on telling everyone else what they should be doing with their lives, I'd say not.

    Your castings are horrid, as well. Disgracing our heroes by comparing them to Trump's camp is blasphemous. Nobody would throw a hat to impress Kelly Anne, Newt couldn't be an accurate M unless M goes around sleeping with all his friends' wives (I don't think he does), Assange is nothing but a masturbatory man in need of an ego massaging (Q just likes toys), and if Christie is CIA, he'd be more Gregg Beam than Felix Leiter.

    If Trump was a double 00 he'd either die on his first mission by overestimating his talents, or his commander would fire him because he was sick of listening to Trump, who thought only his ideas were good ones. Trump likes to be on top, and following orders to actually help people other than himself doesn't really work for him. We can see this from his foundation, where he uses donations to buy himself stuff instead of helping those who actually need it.

    Just voted straight party!
    Cannot even vote for someone who is under investigation by the FBI.
    No third party candidate will win obviously and it's down to Trump who said some sexual things towards women behind closed doors joking around or a woman who is being investigated by the FBI..

    Not a tough decision. Funny thing is most of the anti Trump comments are from non Americans lolol

    I may be wrong but I don't think Clinton is under investigation is she? All the FBI has said is that they're looking at some emails on a device belonging to one of her aides and that these emails - which no one had actually read yet - 'may' be pertinent to the Clinton emails issue.

    It's a classic case of insinuating something is up, when there's currently no new evidence to suggest wrong doing. Quite extraordinary really. Seems like blatant political interference in the presidential election by the FBI. J Edgar Hoover would be proud.
  • You are correct, @Getafix. @CASINOROYALE, you are not. Wasn't THAT easy?

    As much as I despise the ridiculous hunt for Bill during his Presidency by the Republicans, as much I hope the Republicans will go out of their way to impeach and remove Hillary from office as fast as possible.
    People should start reading up on her Vice President who will take over at one point.

    Umm there's a criminal investigation going on right now by the FBI?



    LOL.. She could kill ten people in a mall right now and people would defend her.


    She is still the democratic nominee for president and commander of americas national security. The fact that there is a criminal investigation going on involving her is insane.. You can hate Trump all you want but this is bat sh1t crazy at this point..

    My understanding is that some State Dept. emails were found on 'Carlos Danger's' (you can't make this stuff up) home computer. The FBI has to investigate given that it is well known that several emails were deleted prior to the Clinton email submission response to the FBI subpoena (including with use of Bleachbit etc.).

    Moreover, the recent wikileaks releases suggest Obama misled the public when he said that he only learnt about Hillary's private basement server from the press. It appears that he knew about it beforehand and may even have been communicating with her on it, according to Cheryl Mills.

    Finally, The Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, has compromised herself and the entire Justice department by meeting with Bill Clinton in the back of a plane in July, prior to the initial investigation's findings being made public.

    James Comey is between a rock and hard place, but he is law enforcement and his department has to follow the leads that they get. I think everyone expects them to do that.

    I am warming up to Trump. I think he would be the best president since several decades ago. Too bad the election is rigged.

    The real tragedy here is, that Trump would be the first Republican non-Bush President in 30 years....YES 30!!! for Pete's sake.

    If that is not saying something about the mindset of the US voters....

    Yeah, rigged by the Republicans: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2016/10/republicans_are_already_suppressing_minority_votes_all_over_america.html

    Yes, The Republican agenda is not what the US people want running their country.

    Mrs. Clinton is NOT the target of a criminal investigation by the FBI. Anybody telling you otherwise misunderstands or is misstating the situation. Here's an examination of the fellow at the center of the current controversy (no, not "Carlos Danger"): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/james-comey-political_us_58167b1ee4b064e1b4b31cf7

    "
    Jeez...you must spend all day making this stuff up. You have no "understanding". Your lack of facts "suggest" to all of us that it "appears"you are not LSE worthy. Comey violated a key tenet in the criminal justice system by publicly announcing an investigation was being conducted. If you think that is OK, i wonder if your employer would feel the same if they were told you were being investigated. Not charged...just being investigated. I think you'd be looking for another fry cook job. Leave off that pretend education joke from your cv.

    Comey had no choice mate, because Lynch abdicated her responsibilities and dropped everything in his lap.

    He had already testified before Congress under oath when asked that he would look at any new information that came to his attention. Well, we now have it and he is looking at it. The election is a political matter. He is a law enforcement official.



    None of this would be an issue if State Dept. emails weren't allegedly found on a private citizen's home computer. One under investigation for paedophilia no less.
  • Gentlemen...there's spin and then there's spin. Some spin is SOP, other spin is getting a little too close to mudslinging. I think we can all tell which is which. I think we'll all want to get along with each other once this election from the 10th circle of purgatory is concluded. Let's try to show our elected officials how to be civil in our disagreements, can we please?

    Comey seems to have danced the "non-partisan" dance a little too sprightly and he's got EVERYbody miffed at him. We'll see how THAT all goes down after the election is over. In the meanwhile I think it a little unfair to try to tar Hillary with the brush of Weiner's misbehavior so let's keep that situation out of this one, shall we?

    Weiner's computer is the source of the new batch of state dept. emails. That is the extent of the connection.

    He is under investigation for alleged paedophilia. That is how the FBI obtained access to his machine where they located the emails under a folder entitled "Insurance".

    Should state dept. emails be on a private citizen's computer? I think not, but this will be discussed as the case proceeds. They have to determine if there is any classified information on them and if they came from the private email server. If any did, then they will have to further determine if they were previously disclosed as part of the earlier case which was closed.
This discussion has been closed.
