^^ China has media blackouts. Everyone knows that. What are they hiding? Besides the dog meat festival. They treated them so inhumanly.ð?¶ I am glad I am a vegetarian. â??ï¸â¤ï¸
Not when it comes to the United States. The Yulin Lychee Festival is peanuts compared to some of the horrible things China does to people.

And to seals and whales (China atrocities) No, actually those are Japan atrocities...oops

What does China do to seals and whales? Do seals even swim to China?

Have Clinton and Trump had their "debate" yet? I can't wait for that to go up on Youtube. I don't remember the last presidential debate that was actually a debate. They're all live Twitter now. But with Trump on TV, it should be either the wackiest or most ridiculous presidential debate ever. Either Trump will go full crazy and Clinton will injure herself with too much eye rolling, or everyone will say he won because he didn't go full crazy. A Chinese person asked me why Americans aren't mortally embarrassed by this election. That's a good question.

Well, Hailey, I always heard that theoretically "anybody" (who is a U.S. citizen) can be President or run for President, and we're seeing the truth of that right now. Hope Trump just runs and doesn't win. If somebody from T.V. had to be a nominee for Prez, why wasn't it Oprah Winfrey

Got the same question over and over in England... I asked a high school "friend" who is a scientist that question on this video
His reply Just a bunch of snippets intercut to make someone look bad. I don't have time for that, to be perfectly frank. Trump people honestly do not find this shocking, as the rest of the world does, I believe they find in enabling for violent and outright racial behavior!! The part about bomb ing is really frightening to me. -
DUMP TRUMP!!! There are people who actually intend on voting for a guy like this?

Seems like Trump will often be at a loss for words in the debate tonight--he knows very little about all the important issues and about American history and the Constitution...and that he will throw a temper tantrum on camera, lose his temper. He's already fuming over all the aspersions cast at him these past months from a multitude of sources. Absolutely seething, so he's red in the face instead of orange...aren't they going to "fact check" each statement from the candidates tonight? He will really be in hot water then !

Everyone ready for the debate?

Hillary Clinton was quietly forceful, confident, dignified, well-spoken in the big debate, while Trump barely controlled his usual grouchy bully tendencies and tried to dominate the debate, but Lester Holt mostly reigned him in . Clinton emitted an icy vibe towards her opponent and flashed a sarcastic looking smile. Donald Grump kept sniffing, seemed a hot mess and many thought he had snorted coke before taking the stage. A coke head. Looked about to have a heart attack a couple of times. Sort of. As expected, he espouses the trickle down economic theory to benefit the one percent and big corporations. Clinton pointed out that trickle down doesn't work. She called him out on a number of his foibles and failings. She was a cool customer.

Hillary 63% Trump 27% From a completely objective poll. The Trump Klan of course thought it was different.

I was only able to stomach this with the aid of large quantities of excellent single-malt Scotch. I gotta say, though I'll never be a real Hillary fan, that anyone who votes for Trump after seeing that display of bullying ignorance and dishonesty really should consider therapy. That this man has come within striking distance of the presidency truly does constitute a national emergency.

Trump fans are saying Trump did a good job. He didn't go full crazy, so he should get points for that. He was as stable as he gets during his teleprompter speeches. Clinton fans are saying she won. I don't know what she won. She still stands a very real chance of losing the election. There are two more debates. You can bet Trump will be more prepared next time. Or he'll go full crazy. I think no one won. Hillary Clinton is the smartest person to run for president in my lifetime. She knows policy and the issues better than her husband, and he wasn't exactly an idiot himself, though he did some stupid things. Trump has demonstrated again and again that his knowledge of the presidency, government and constitution are stuck below a junior high school level. In a real debate, Clinton should have destroyed him. She had a couple of good scripted lines, but missed several wide open opportunities when he contradicted himself. Telling people to go to some website for fact checking is pretty lame. Trump said he wants to punish NATO members for not paying their fair share after he called himself smart for not paying taxes on almost $700 million. He also said that was a small amount of money to him. She let it slide. He said it was good business to not pay people what they're owed and said that other countries owe the United States money. She let it slide. He complained that American companies are taking jobs to other countries and wants to make them pay higher taxes then bragged that his company employs people in Europe and Asia and wants his company to pay lower taxes. She let it slide. He went on and on about too many government regulations after saying that he wants to regulate those companies. She let it slide. When Trump said, "No wonder you've been fighting, no wonder you've been fighting ISIS your entire adult life", he was begging her to call him out. She stammered and talked about her website. Clinton: "Donald was one of the people who rooted for the housing crisis. He said, back in 2006, Gee, I hope it does collapse because then I can go in and buy some and make some money. Well, it did collapse." Trump (interrupting): "That's called business, by the way." Clinton goes back to making her point and ignores what Trump just said. He's running as "the people's champion" and he just admitted that he wanted the middle class to get screwed so he could make some money. And she said nothing. Trump: "Typical politician. All talk, no action, sounds good, doesn't work, never gonna happen." Had Clinton said something like, "Are you describing your campaign?" that would have been the highlight sound bite of the night. Instead, she stood back and watched. Trump: "Our airports, our airports are like from a third world country. You land at LaGuardia, you land at Kennedy, you land at LAX, you land at Newark, and you come in from Dubai and Qatar and you see these incredible, you come in from China, you see these incredible airports and you land, we've become a third world country." Clinton: nothing. I'm sure she's been to all of those airports. Other than a few in China, none of them look anything like a third world country. He opened the door for her to call the United States the greatest country in the world and far from a third world country. Republicans love to wave the flag. Trump repeatedly badmouths the United States. Clinton let it slide.

The first female football coach in the NFL is rallying for Hillary! I was a profound athlete as a youth. The small town I came from always did great in high school sports. They actually won the State Championship in Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track, all in the same year in the early 2000's. The girls were incredibly profound as well!!! Go Ladies Go!!!

TRUMP is what the ELDERS of the Human Race call a GENTILE. (By New Testament Definition) He is a self oriented survivalist. A law unto himself. He has proclaimed openly that he loves to make his money off of other people's money(and works). He is the least qualified individual to ever run for an American political office. He is creating the Illusion that he is a Pro American Nationalist, and is stirring up a Nationalist Fervor amongst some Americans , just like Hitler did in Nazi Germany during WWII.

4 Years With A Woman In Office Is Better Than 4 Seconds With Trump Any Where Near A Political Office. Women Are Long Overdue For A Little Recognition In This Context. .................................................... Jeb Bush Has Decided Not To Vote At All. One Can Easily See His Logic. It Is Going To Take The Republican Party 4 Years To Regain The Name And Image That Trump Is Destroying Already. They Would Have Time To Groom Potential Candidates. With The Unstable Attitude Of "DUH" Donald In Office, We Would All...Be Risking Everything. ........................................................

"Airplanes commissioned by UltraViolet Action are expected to fly over five college football stadiums Saturday to protest what the women's advocacy group calls the "long record of misogyny" of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the Kansas City Star reports.
