    This is why Trump is a fucking idiot. Someone takes a scene from a porno, relabels it as being from Alicia Machado, and tweets to Trump that she has a sex tape. Trump sees this at 3am, completely believes it and starts tweeting about it.

    The media is controlled by the rich who own it, and by government informers inside it who follow orders from their intelligence masters.

    So when the whole media is this one-sided, it makes me take the side of the underdog. The USA Today editorial is full of accusations much broader than Trump's words and actions warrant. Without examples to pull its wild claims down to Earth, it's just propaganda.

    Its odd that many of the press seem to be using the same catch phrases in this year's election

    "Unfit for Presidency"
    "Demagogue"

    and other phrases repeated over and over for psychological value as if they were in collusion with each other. Well, they are, welcome to modern propaganda and brainwashing. There were such instances during Hillary's health episode. Many headlines mirror each other, if you look on your facebook wall, articles are very similar, they have the same headlines or zingers. Talking heads repeat the same phrases, very much psychological manipulation.

    Yesterday there was a "viral" Hillary song that was "cute" going around.

    Yes, while reading the editorial, I looked up the difference between the words demagogue (populist leader who appeals to emotions) and demigod (half-god with only partial superpowers). Trump is no more of a demagogue than most candidates. Clinton has such a dull personality that compared to her, anyone looks emotional.

    We need to overhaul the way we pick the people that spend our tax dollars, especially the president.

    Today, the strange reality is. Our best candidate would be a digitally generated holographic autonomous president capable of making decisions using advanced control systems to interpret information from a very broad range of sources.

    If an antonymous president makes a faulty decision, or becomes outdated, we simply take a vote to unplug it. Then move on the newest model.

    Yeah, they never do focus groups to see which actual words have more impact.

    There is nothing so ignorant as to blindly trust the status quo.

    It is ridiculous that Trump is an actual candidate for president. The whole world has to be laughing at us, hell I have a coworker in a band who was touring Europe this summer and the questions he kept getting asked was if Trump running was a joke or not. Trump attacks without remorse and doesn't give a shit if he is correct or not. I hope Alicia M sues the shit out of Trump for defaming of character. The worst thing about him is that he makes Clinton look like a damn good Presidential candidate, why couldn't the republican party give us a really good qualified candidate not named Cruz instead of Trump. Would have been nice to have seen Johnson on the debate stage as well.

    I thought that there was some Spanish reality show that may have caught an intimate moment with her and another reality contestant. It appeared as if it was all night vision video, under the covers stuff. Not sure if that qualifies as a "sex tape", but maybe?

    Again, we live in a democracy. Trump broke through the political process to become popular enough to get this far. People agree with many of his points, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten this far. He's probably not the best spokesperson because he's a bit of a showman, but he's all that a large part of America can get behind. This kind of process is good, yet we laud it as something terrible.

    What's terrible and ridiculous is the exposition of the media and their inherent bias on an institutional basis. Remember, on the road to serfdom "Your thinking is planned".
