The type of cretin that would play well with would have the added difficulty of finding someone to read it to them.

They just need it boiled down to a tweet and itâll be grand.
The US Congress joined the Senate today in passing a law allowing 9/11 families sue the Saudi cunts. Puts Obama in a very tough spot as he has vowed to veto it. His veto can be overruled by a 2/3 majority in both houses, and there is growing belief the support is there to overrule him.
Interesting times ahead, Hillary might have a tough call to make, especially as Saudi is a huge donor to her Foundation and her campaign.
She supports the tight to sue the Saudis. Has for eons.
Her stance during the campaign where she was effectively forced into the position by Sanders, and what she would do as president are two different things. If Obama vetoes it, she will have to publically break rank with him. Thatâs the tough call I referenced.
The bigger issue for her is explaining the $25M Saudi donated to her Foundation, and the as yet undisclosed amount they have contributed to her campaign. The latter was claimed by the Saudis to be 20% of her total funding which if true is an enormous number.
Clinton is spot on with that assessment.

No shit Sherlock. Itâs about the sentiment, bloody hell, no sense of humour at all.
Trump in June 2015:
The problem we have right nowâwe have a society that sits back and says we donât have to do anything. Eventually, the 50 percent cannot carryâand itâs unfair to themâbut cannot carry the other 50 percent.
Looks like Trump wrote off 50% of AmericansâŚ
No he didnât.
Letâs give the full quote please Sidney.
HANNITY: Let me ask you, would you be able to get 50 million Americans out of poverty?
TRUMP: I would. I would â I would create incentives for people to work. People donât have an incentive. They make more money by sitting there doing nothing than they make if they have a job.
HANNITY: Youâd take the incentive away.
TRUMP: We have to create incentives that they actually do much better by working. Right now, they have a disincentive. They have an incentive not to work.
HANNITY: You would insist for food stamps, welfare, any assistance, that you have to work for it.
TRUMP: Well, you could â you could start looking at things like that. And actually Bill Clinton wanted that, a lot of people wanted that over the years. You know, a lot of Democrats frankly wanted that. A lot of liberals wanted that. The problem we have right now, we have a society that sits back and says weâre not going to do anything. And eventually the 50 percent cannot carry, and itâs unfair to them, but cannot carry the other 50 percent.
HANNITY: So you become President, you talked about new trade deals, you talk about the importance of balancing a budget, not cutting Social Security entitlements. How quickly can you get 46 million Americans off food stamps and 50 million Americans off poverty? Give me the four things that you would do immediately to jump start the economy.
TRUMP: Well, itâs actually not four things.
HANNITY: Five things?
TRUMP: No, itâs not a question of things. Itâs a question of incentives. We have to create incentives. We have to restructure our tax system so that people create incentives. You can do zones. You can do lots of different things to get people to work. We have to change â I mean, we have a very massive change coming up because this country cannot sustain itself. It just canât.
Do you get the dole in America ?
If youâre explaining youâre losing.
Doesnât seem like much of an incentive to not want to work to meâŚ
Unemployment insurance programs vary by state, but typically laid-off workers receive a portion of their former pay, based on a formula considering wages and time on the job, for up to six months. However, several states have reduced the maximum length of benefits. In North Carolina, a laid-off worker can receive a maximum of only 13 weeks of payments.
The White House proposal would make 26 weeks of benefits the national standard and automatically provide as many as 52 additional weeks of federally funded benefits for states experiencing rapid job-losses or high unemployment.
Often, Congress extends âemergencyâ benefits beyond state maximums when the economy is in or recovering from a recession. After the financial crisis, Congress extended benefits to a maximum of 99 weeks. Lawmakers let funding for that extension expire at the end of 2013, causing benefit payments to stop for more than 1 million Americans.
Really dumb move by Clinton and a sign she is feeling the pressure. The only possible ourcome of this outrageous and bizzarre statement is a higher turnout for Trump. A similar stupid generalized statement by Romney in the last presidential campaign cost him whatever chance he had of winning. Basically, Clinton is perpetrating the myth that Trump supporters are ignorant uneducated white folks. The reality is that in a sizable majority of states, Trumpâs supporters have higher household incomes than the median, and higher than Clintonâs. The other reality is that the traits that Clinton calls deplorable are much more likely to be found among her own supporters, hispanics and blacks for example are far more racist, homophoic and sexist (in particular) than whites.

Maybe next time click on the full Slate/Mother Jones/Vox ect article you pull your stuff from.
Sidney making a show of himself here. For a lad spouting on about his debating skills the whole time, he was caught out using a selective quote that in fact in context, actually makes it look like trump has half a brain, and then he came up with that response!
