This was used in the convention speech, but also again today. Trump: “The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50 percent compared to this point last year.” FACT CHECK (NYTimes): In fact, the Officer Down Memorial Page, which tracks officer deaths, reports that 68 police officers have been killed so far this year, almost exactly the same as the 69 who were killed in the same period last year. Now the reason you don't want a president knowingly manipulating people to outrage and reaction based on false information should be very much of current concern considering the nation that was invaded based on another President's false information leading to outrage and fear. That was Iraq and (unless the plan was to occupy it forever) the power vacuum and the U.S. military armaments there has led to an entity that is effecting many other nations right now. At the time many people in the U.S. believed Iraq had something to do with the WTC attack and claims that they were developing nuclear (or nuculur if you prefer) weapons were fabricated or at best grossly exaggerated. Then again, some may well think it the very height of seeming presidential to pass off half-truths, exaggerations and lies (while being told to boycott CNN and not listen to the speeches of the 'enemy').

You must have heard Obama's speech today about the $400,000,000 payoff for hostages today. They think we are all idiots. That's the part I hate. |

How can I make this clear: Your opinion on our politics does not matter. Nor does your vote since you can't vote here. Wanna talk about Lindsey and Stevie, FINE, have at it, BUT what you or your countrymen think about our election is as irrelevant as mine is on yours. |

1. Where did you get that from? 2. The Presidential part related only to his acceptance speech. 3. I'd be very careful if I were you in using the name of Christ in that way. 4. Voter like me? Wrong Again. I'm not voting for anyone. 5. Trust me I don't. 6. Like I suggested elsewhere, take a look at the Drudge Report. You trust the others? You reap what you sow. I believe this is why we have these two particular candidates to choose from. We lose either way. I just believe one's worse than the other. |

I think a major problem with some parts of the U.S. the last few decades is people are simply not getting all the real information, they are getting completely made up stuff sometimes meant to manufacture outrage.
Here's a great example, $400,000,000 paid to Iran being suddenly revealed over six months after it was announced by the White House. You can't pay someone with their own money; that was Iranian money that was being held all this time from when the Shah was deposed. It is however very well documented that the Reagan administration was selling arms illegally (Reagan 'forgot' and Bush Sr. 'wasn't there' and Oliver North sealed his lips) to Iran post-revolution to fund mercenary rebels to fight a democratically elected socialist government in Nicaragua. At the same time the U.S. was openly supporting and arming Saddam Hussein administration in Iraq who were at war with Iran and Osama Bin-Laden in Afghanistan fighting Russia. Also if your xenophobia extends to Canadians now you really must have nobody left in the rest of the planet, or is Trump's admiration of Putin enough for you to trust Russia? I'm also reminded of the born in Kenya conspiracies requiring of such silly minutia about typefaces on old documents in a fairly newly created state and people knowing their Kenyan born black skinned son would need a phony announcement in a newspaper to one day run for president. People with real information and education are very concerned for the future of the U.S. and the world because of Trump; former heads of the CIA and FBI. Many long time Republicans even, but Canadians with access to non-slanted reporting are drinking funny water? Just get some real information from long standing sources... please stop believing those with histories of manipulating with half truths and deliberate misinformation or else rule your selves out as eligible voters. Climate change is happening even if what you see are one person with scientific credentials employed by big oil getting the same amount of attention as the one of thousands of non-affiliated scientists saying this is accelerating. If you like a crisis try that one on for size even if it means admitting Al Gore was right about something. Statements I have read and heard like not agreeing with Hillary on anything, 0%, are the kind of silly absolutist comments that make people despair within the U.S. and outside it. If you find yourself saying things like that you have gone off the edge. Last edited by becca; 08-05-2016 at 05:58 PM.. Reason: typos |

Another thought: I guess it was also our Canadian media that our Liberal Prime-Minister relied on for information that kept us out of the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq circa 2003 (and which Condoleeza Rice said she'd never forgive us for). Too bad Tony Blair didn't check in with us maybe? |
