OK, boys and girls, I see that between now and November many of us will have real serious problems with the two main candidates running for president.  To date these feelings have proven so strong that they demand expression under posts of opportunity, posts that have more focused topics and whose comment streams don’t require your detailed diagnoses of the candidates’ character flaws, recently discovered sins, tweets du jour, and general pickings from a wide palette (smorgasbord?) of incoming slings and arrows with which each candidate has inflicted us, our country, and/or our body politic.  Think of these lightly introduced receptacles as another form of dedicated and dated sandboxes which will be refreshed as new fault lines develop in each member of this dynamic duo.

    Bill
    the number of those who have raised concerns about Trumps ability to manage national security has reached symphonic levels. Here’s the latest, 121 prominent Republican security experts who have written a letter together.
    From Huffington Post:
    Signers include some of the best known intelligence, defense and security experts of the past two decades: Michael V. Hayden, the former director of both the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency; Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge, both of whom served as secretaries of Homeland Security during the Bush administration; Dov Zakheim, a former under secretary of defense; John D. Negroponte, a deputy secretary of state and a former director of national intelligence; Eric Edelman, a top national security adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney; and Robert Zoellick, a former deputy secretary of state, United States trade rep and president of the World Bank.
    Here’s the letter
    “We the undersigned, members of the Republican national security community, represent a broad spectrum of opinion on America’s role in the world and what is necessary to keep us safe and prosperous. We have disagreed with one another on many issues, including the Iraq war and intervention in Syria. But we are united in our opposition to a Donald Trump presidency. Recognizing as we do, the conditions in American politics that have contributed to his popularity, we nonetheless are obligated to state our core objections clearly:
    His vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle. He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.
    His advocacy for aggressively waging trade wars is a recipe for economic disaster in a globally connected world.
    His embrace of the expansive use of torture is inexcusable.
    His hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric undercuts the seriousness of combating Islamic radicalism by alienating partners in the Islamic world making significant contributions to the effort. Furthermore, it endangers the safety and Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of American Muslims.
    Controlling our border and preventing illegal immigration is a serious issue, but his insistence that Mexico will fund a wall on the southern border inflames unhelpful passions, and rests on an utter misreading of, and contempt for, our southern neighbor.
    Similarly, his insistence that close allies such as Japan must pay vast sums for protection is the sentiment of a racketeer, not the leader of the alliances that have served us so well since World War II.
    His admiration for foreign dictators such as Vladimir Putin is unacceptable for the leader of the world’s greatest democracy.
    He is fundamentally dishonest. Evidence of this includes his attempts to deny positions he has unquestionably taken in the past, including on the 2003 Iraq war and the 2011 Libyan conflict. We accept that views evolve over time, but this is simply misrepresentation.
    His equation of business acumen with foreign policy experience is false. Not all lethal conflicts can be resolved as a real estate deal might, and there is no recourse to bankruptcy court in international affairs.
    Mr. Trump’s own statements lead us to conclude that as president, he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world. Furthermore, his expansive view of how presidential power should be wielded against his detractors poses a distinct threat to civil liberty in the United States. Therefore, as committed and loyal Republicans, we are unable to support a Party ticket with Mr. Trump at its head. We commit ourselves to working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.

    I like Trump’s response to the list. All of them are status quo and all are responsible for the mess the place is in. Since Trump has never had the power to drone kill someone, or send a CIA operative anywhere to kill someone, how is t we should believe all those fifty people? Outsiders are not wanted by them and all the other insiders are quaking in their boots. I hope he fire all their sorry asses on the first day.

    You might like to check out this 2013 New York Times piece regarding Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Russian connection, since some Democrats love to call Trump a Nazi, but don’t connect the dots with communist (socialist) dictators. The New yours times related that “The headline on the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” The article details how the Russian atomic energy agency (Rosatom) took over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putins Russia closer to its goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain. The untold story is that it involves former President Bill Clinton and Wife Hillary running for President.
    Major donors to the Clinton Foundation (Clinton family) is the Canadian company that sold out to Russia. The new company is known as Uranium One. Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave Russia control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. It’s considered a strategic asset for national security. The deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of U.S. government agencies including the State Department then headed by Hillary Clinton, Bill’s wife.
    Read the rest of the story about the flow of money (millions) to the Clinton’s, and the contributions not made public by them despite the deal Hillary made with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock. I used this New York Times piece for the benefit of those who hate and deny conservative news feeds.
    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0
    And one more for the road…Can ya all imagine why those worthless rancher’s (like the Bundys) property has been under attack by our government? There are plenty of stories that it has a lot to do with Uranium, and other precious metals on their property.

    Poor Japan, asked to penny up their share for their national defense. Outrageous sums? No worries, your tax dollars will pay for the rice eaters to play house and we pick up the tab. Poor poor Japan could not even stand on their own two feet for a bi-lateral trade agreement so they came up with the Pacific Rim Agreement that gave the US the same vote as Brunei Darussalam, and all authority to resolve conflicts and order edicts to be decided by some foreign body, and not the US.
    Securing our borders will make us less safe? Excuse me, in 20 years Europe will look like Damascus. That is just fine with me, they have already destroyed themselves and neutered the German men so they cannot even defend their wives against rapists without facing loss of employment, fines, and jail, lol! Too funny. Calling a rapist a dirty pig buts you in jail and the predator walks free with a wad of unearned cash. Lol. Too funny. Been to the airport lately? Did you feel safe just checking in and boarding, or was there a mild apprehension going on in the back of your head while you parked and walked carefree into the terminal?
    Detroit is what every single Liberal run major city looks like in America. You can buy a house there for $500. Detroit and Chicago will probably look like Honduras or some other flea infested barrio at siesta time in 20 years if we don’t change leadership. Granted both Detriot and Central America look like shit right now, so maybe that will be a wash with the millions of new immigrants taking the jobs of our poor Black Youth.
    ZiKa? In our rush to fly into our country unattended minors (many now sit in junevinal halls and jails across the nation because they are just illiterate human debris criminal hoddlums who will always be a ward of the USA till the day they die…and brought in Zika Virus in from Central America. And in our rush to open the borders wider, Zika virus was swept under the carpet. Fuck what Mexico thinks, what Japan thinks, what the Supremacist followers of the Pedophile Prophet think over in Clusterfuk Ragheadland.
    Paul, that list is mostly the list of RINOs you detest, ROFLMAO.
    Yep, it’s Trump or the Crook, or in your case, you should vote for The Johnson just to waste your vote…again. Paul, vote for Hillary or The Johnson or the Commie Green Party. Hillary and Jill and you all want open borders with an immediate amnesty for 30 million people who are unlawfully here in our country. Hillary said 30 today, think she meant 11 million, but she is losing her facilities so I need not chip on her much longer.
    Vote for Hillary, Paul. Please. Vote for Granny and help her cross the street and get your Banana Republic you desire. Meanwhile, I will vote for Donald J Trump.
    Oh, if Denmark and Sweden would pay their fair share of their national defense, maybe then we could puts lol the illegal aliens on welfare along with your grower buddies.

    Paul, short version. That list is the status quo. Do you have any idea the billions upon billions of buckaroos the hedge funds, Wall Street banks, the Oracle of Obama, Google, and Soros will make if the plans of the status quo come to fruitition? The 1%ers along with the Clinton cronies will rake it in, while you, me, and everyone you know will lose. America will lose soverinity.
    Come on Paul, you said yourselves many many times they (both major parties) are just two faces of the same coin. Keep voting the way those on the list want you to, and you will keep getting what you and I have been getting. Keep doing what you are doing and you will keep getting what your are getting. And one man, one little man named Donald wiped the Bushes off the face of the political Earth for you. You can thank Trump for that.
    I have not traveled all this way to vote to become a Banana Republic ruled over with the iron fist of some Globalist. Fuck all of them. If they were just dead weight, I would ignore them. But, they are I what you and I despise so I hope they vote for Hillary, go pound their spoons and have their temper tantrums. That kind has no where else to turn but to turn to the lying crooked Queen of Corruption She-Devil that puts her lust for power and the accumilation of mountains of gold coins ahead of country. She is bought and paid for, lock, stock, and barrel.
    It is a patriot’s duty to defend his country against his government. I have no where else to turn but to Donald J. Trump.

    But, I wan’t going to waste my time. They are scared shitless that Trump will upset the apple cart. Great idea to put everything u dear the new Department of Homeland Security after 9/11. Thought it was to get military intelligence, CIA, FBI, and ICE to all start talking to each after 9/11. Boy, after they flew the coop when Bush left office and Obama stepped in, they really really are talking to each other now, lol. Never Trump! He will bust up a good thing they got going.
    These are the same people (Republicans and Dems) feasting off the Industrial Military Complex that Trump has been fighting since day one. Especially the Bush backers, but it’s an equal opportunity exploitation club. They were so good at what they did, most missed 9/11, the irreversible destruction of Europe’s Islamic immigration policy, predicated by completely failing to see what would happen to Iraq and by association, ISIS and Syria. They thought Iraq would be easy and thenthey took their little schemes and plans against a Russian pawn, Syria. Beam me up, Scottie!
    Yo, Mr. Cross: doesn’t your enlightened side always say Ike warned us about the evil corrupt too powerful Industrial Military Complex? Akin to an immigration lawyer who specializes in the exclusive realm of getting Islamics entry and residency in the USA going off on Trump.
    People don’t like their ox being gored. The good ole boys network is seeing a bull named Trump charging right at it, with tens of millions of us dummie Trumpamanics riding on top. Charge. That list is just the ones who tried to stop him after the first debate, ROFLMAO.

Another went as far to say that this kind of talk about the safeguards inherent in the scared act of voting would undermine trust in the process and cause millions of voters to feel disenfranchised….which, of course, will lead to the destruction of civilized society as we know it….all because of Trump’s thinly veiled doubts.
    Say what? Trump is just saying what we have been thinking for years. Like, all those voters lying in Chicago graveyard jokes aren’t exactly new.
    Trumps hints that the system might be rigged and they go nuts. Not the good kind of nuts when Sqatting Bear Tin Lizzy Warren talks about the system is rigged. Nope. Trump is bad for saying system may be rigged and High Cheek Boned Lizzy is good for pointing it out. Ah, that’s just the hand we are dealt.

    “Great! We want people who are not the ones who have caused the mess our country is in. That is any status quo insider. So, these people who won’t endorse means they are scared of the outsider. Works for me.”
    These are mostly Bush supporters and staffers, all republicans. the”mess” they supported was the result of Bush policies, their boss. Glad to hear you are finally coming around to my contention that Bush was a really lousy President. Of course, Trump called Bush a Liar about WMD’s. Glad you are figuring it out.

    Paul Emery, you have a built in bias and no one cares what your interpretation of his words are. I watched him say the words. I know he was talking about voting. You have a brain tumor.
    And who cares who those on the list supported? I don’t. And you are a ridiculous hypocrite trying to ride some horse about them when you trashed Bush relentlessly and his minions all these years. You have no credibility. Live with it.

    Oh Todd, Paul is just justifing voting for Hillary. He is mad that we did not give him a suitable alternative to Crooked Grandma. Plus, Paul still has some fire in his belly which is nice. I like that. And, remember that before Paul became a peacenik, he was a Golden Gloves Boxer….just like that old lion Harry Reid…until Harry’s exercise machine beat the stew out of the poor hapless Man from Searchlight, but I digress.
    Now Paul is a hard working son of a gun and his life works fine for him. Sure, Paul watched the press go full screaming monkey on Bush for 5 straight years. By the time Katrina hit, the sharks were in a feeding frenzy. So, after 5 straight years of W getting his clock cleaned by the media, Paul creams his jeans over Bush’s low numbers and is probably rubbing himself right now just thinking about it. Whatever floats his boat. The 5 year tsunami could only get Bush down in the mid thirties. Must say he treated Cindy Sheehan and Camp Casey with more respect and understanding of her rights than ANY leftist would ever afford you or me or a Benghazi Gold Star Mom. That’s the facts.
    Paul, go ahead and get it out of your system soon. We have to join forces to defeat Evil and promote peace through strength. I will put you in the Undecided camp. Hint: the ideal candidate has yet to be born. After we join forces and promote Peace through Prosperity and clean up 3% of Washington, lion will lay down with the lamb and you can get back to rubbing yourself over Bush’s exit numbers. Keep sending in the daily reports of events and we will tell ya what it all means….for fun and for free!

    Get more creative Paul. Try making the active shooter up in Malakoff Diggins an NRA Trump supporter. Bigger money is on a felon and a dope grow.

    Paul. The branch offices of the DNC (media) will never say anything positive about Trump.
    They will start manufacturing “evidence”, and drag every washed up, has been, RINO they can find to trash Trump. MSNBC is already doing that.

    Notice how the left screeches about democracy and when the volk don’t democracy like they’re supposed to, the left goes bananas? Look at Paul Emery getting his undies in a bunch because some folks might not vote properly. What will you do. Paul? Call out the military and tell them to arrest the scoundrels?
    There was no call for violence or rebellion.
    But Hill is your gal. She’s dreamy. She’s in bed with the plutocrats and fascists. The billionaires love her. So does Paul. What a bobble head sell out.

    I’m with Gary Johnson. Bill, why do you stick with the Repubs. First of all Trump won;t get elected but if he did do you honestly feel he has the political moxie to move the mountains he have to move to accomplish whatever he claims to want to do? And there was Arnold the “I will fix it man.” Yeah right. Look what he accomplished.

    Paul, what do you think about Assange fingering the recently murdered DNC staffer as the one who provided WikiLeaks with the DNC emails?
    The plot thickens. Who in the DNC might be involved? Would they be better or worse than Trump with power in the White House?
    Sounds more like a House of Cards plot element than real life.
    Of course, the murder could be a total coincidence.

    Clinton Crime Family At Work:
    Emails reveal Hillary’s shocking pay-for-play scheme. “Hillary Clinton put the State Department up for sale, with top aides pulling strings and doing favors for fat-cat donors to the Clinton Foundation — including a shady billionaire, according to smoking-gun emails released Tuesday. The stunning revelations include how wealthy contributors seeking influence or prestigious government gigs could fork over piles of cash to get access to Clinton’s inner circle, including top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills.”

    Bush was your guy Todd and you were a supporter of the war in Iraq. now you’re supporting a candidate that called him a liar about the reasons for going to war. Hypocrite? Glad to see that you’ve finally come around about what a lousy President Bush was. I commend you on you’re ability to change.
    I’m sure glad I don’t feel allegiance to the Pubs or Dems like most of you on this blog .

    There you go again Paul Emery. I am a supporter of George W. And yes I thought the Iraq war qwas justified. Now, eight years later people from the status quo, just like you, are changing their minds. So you have it backwards as usual.
    You are the status quo and I am cracking up at your hypocrisy.

    I supported George W Bush as well. I am not opposed to calling his Administration out on certain things, albeit I never thought he lied. People make decisions based on the information they have in hand. Jimmy Carter promised he would never lie to us and he proved to be another nice guy, albeit a mega nincompoop. It’s the decisions one makes in office that separates the leaders from the liars and the totally inept. Hmm. Hillary got the call on Benghazi and proved she not a leader as well as being both a liar and totally inept. She was given her chance and blew it. Cross her off the list.
    Time to cross CNN off the list (as if it ever was on my list).). As mankind has progressed through the centuries, in 2016 is it too much to ask that the Father of Cable News deal us unmarked cards? Strike that. I like it better now that all pretense has been torn asunder and we know where everyone stands. Just like watching 3rd World Minister of Information newscasts..
    Mothers, don’t let your daughters grow up to be journalists or White House interns…as long as there is a Clinton around.
