Loading ...Doesn’t the media remember the open mike situation when Obama told a Putin aid…”Tell Putin after I get elected, I’ll have more leeway” or something like that. Implying the US and Russia are allies.
I’m thinking they are STILL allies, always were allies, and are putting on a confrontation “show” for some reason I can’t think of. Other than another fake rivalry to promote more defense spending.
rich, pushy, loudmouthed new yorker? unpopular with the GOP elite?

Americans should vote for Donald Trump as president next month or risk being dragged into a nuclear war, according to a Russian ultra-nationalist ally of President Vladimir Putin who likes to compare himself to the U.S. Republican candidate.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a flamboyant veteran lawmaker known for his fiery rhetoric, told Reuters in an interview that Trump was the only person able to de-escalate dangerous tensions between Moscow and Washington.
By contrast, Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton could spark World War Three, said Zhirinovsky, who received a top state award from Putin after his pro-Kremlin Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) came third in Russia’s parliamentary election last month.
Many Russians regard Zhirinovsky as a clownish figure who makes outspoken statements to grab attention but he is also widely viewed as a faithful servant of Kremlin policy, sometimes used to float radical opinions to test public reaction.
“Relations between Russia and the United States can’t get any worse. The only way they can get worse is if a war starts,” said Zhirinovsky, speaking in his huge office on the 10th floor of Russia’s State Duma, or lower house of parliament.
“Americans voting for a president on Nov. 8 must realize that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump. But if they vote for Hillary it’s war. It will be a short movie. There will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.”
Zhirinovsky’s comments coincide with deep disagreements between Washington and Moscow over Syria and Ukraine and after the White House last week accused Russia of a campaign of cyber attacks against Democratic Party organizations.
Even as WikiLeaks released another trove of internal documents from Clinton’s campaign on Wednesday, Putin insisted his country was not involved in an effort to influence the U.S. presidential election.
THE RUSSIAN TRUMP?
Zhirinovsky likes to shock liberal public opinion and he has frequently heaped scorn on the West, which he and other Russian nationalists regard as decadent, hypocritical and corrupted by political correctness.
His combative style, reminiscent of Trump’s, ensures him plenty of television air time and millions of votes in Russian elections, often from the kind of blue-collar workers who are the bedrock of the U.S. Republican candidate’s support.
Zhirinovsky once proposed blocking off mostly Muslim southern Russia with a barbed wire fence, echoing Trump’s call for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Zhirinovsky, who said he met Trump in New York in 2002, revels in his similarities with the American businessman – they are the same age, favor coarse, sometimes misogynistic language and boast about putting their own country first. Zhirinovsky has even said he wants a DNA test to see if he is related to Trump.
But unlike Trump, a billionaire real estate developer who casts himself as the anti-establishment candidate in the U.S. presidential race with no past political experience, Zhirinovsky is a consummate political insider who has sat in the Duma for more than two decades.
Putin has also praised Trump as “very talented”, while the Republican candidate has said the Kremlin boss is a better leader than U.S. President Barack Obama. Clinton has accused Trump of being too cozy with Putin and questioned his business interests in Russia.
In other comments that have delighted Moscow, Trump has questioned the value of NATO for Washington, has spoken ambiguously about Russia’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea and suggested that the United States under his leadership would adopt a more isolationist foreign policy.
“He (Trump) won’t care about Syria, Libya and Iraq and why an earth should America interfere in these countries? And Ukraine. Who needs Ukraine?,” said Zhirinovsky, who once counted himself a friend of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and whose deaths he still laments.
“Trump will have a brilliant chance to make relations more peaceful … He’s the only one who can do this,” he said, adding that Trump could even win a Nobel peace prize.
CLINTON “CRAVES POWER”
In contrast, Zhirinovsky described Clinton as “an evil mother-in law” and said her record as secretary of state under Obama in 2009-2013 showed she was unfit to lead her country.
“She craves power. Her view is that Hillary is the most important person on the planet, that America is an exceptional country, as Barack Obama said,” said Zhirinovsky. “That’s dangerous. She could start a nuclear war.”
In typically chauvinistic remarks, Zhirinovsky said Clinton’s gender should also bar her from the presidency.
“Most Americans should choose Trump because men have been leading for millions of year. You can’t take the risk of having one of the richest, most powerful countries led by a woman president,” he said.
Asked about lewd comments Trump made about women in 2005 that have harmed his campaign, Zhirinovsky defended the Republican: “Men all round the world sometimes say such things that are just for their comrades. We must only consider his business (and political) qualities.”
Though Putin and Trump have never met, Zhirinovsky said he believed they could establish a close working relationship, adding: “Victory for Trump would be a gift to humanity. But if Hillary Clinton wins it will be the last U.S. president ever.
In this city when you register to vote you have one polling place you can vote at no other.if people see busses like that they need to call the cops and follow them. The problem lies with mail in ballots where they can vote at home and tracking needs to be how many per address at least and verify it. A frien worries our mail in ballots won’t count here for corrupt reasons.
When TPTB decided to “take us down” economically after 1971, they did it real slow and gradual, so people would adjust gradually making it hard for the people to notice.
Its obvious, AFTER the 2008 melt down, that the powers that be, HAD to “throw a bone” to the US economy and gradually restore the US economy that was in net gradual insidious loss of industries and living standards since 1975.
Their main problem is, restoring the US economy would have a negative inverse effect on other foreign countries economies. So it makes sense for them to take the same approach. Let the other countries decline very gradually, so its not so obvious.
HOWEVER, after eight years of practically nothing since the crash, things slightly better the people (and Trump) have lost their patience and are FED UP!!
Unfortunately, for TPTB and most foreign nations, Trump and all his supporters want things better NOW. They don’t want to wait for prosperity in slow motion until the next generation.

IMO it discloses the real problem in the USA regarding elections. It is illegal to request to see anyone’s ID and they do not have to register to vote. They are being bussed all over the place so they can vote in many precincts over and over again. It’s a three minute video so might be worth that short time so you understand what you are up against.
Furthermore, Rossi was a close confidant of former bank Chairman, Joseph Mussari, who was the driving force behind Monte Paschi’s 2008 $13 billion purchase of Banca Antonveneta from Spain’s Santander. Many banking analysts agreed at the time that Monte Paschi had overpaid for the acqusition, which incidentally was financed by Deutsche Bank.
I use Firefox and have recently cleaned up my cookies. Do have an adware blocker but maybe it would be a good idea to clean them. Thanks for the info.
My wife and I had our absentee ballots notarized and mailed today. They will be opened and counted on Election Day. No more standing in line to vote.

The way I dealt with the problem, was to put on bets to leave….the madder they talked…..the more sure I was I was right.
I only have a few years on you brother. You ain’t no spring chicken either. Happened again. Who will be the college team to watch on Saturday? Any suggestions my Georgia friend?
Jill Stein: Trump Is Less Dangerous Than Clinton; She Will Start Nuclear War With Russia
RNO – really hope you’re right about the polls having to be honest before the election, because honestly I can no longer watch the bullshit on the MSM including FOX News. All day long it’s about Trump and his supposed scandals, nothing about the wikileaks stuff, which is actually real.
I’m so tired of this crap, so tired of the corruption, so tired of the globalists, so tired of Wall Street…
I see the scum did their usual late day crap job on the shares.
I’m not sure any of this is going to matter to any of us next year because the globalists are really hell bent on starting WWIII with Russia.
I’m in a very small percentage of ETF’s. Probably less than 5% of my holdings. I sit on my hands too, no over trading here. Just missing money in accounts and constant draw downs. So I really don’t believe those charts based on personal experience
They always have to tell the truth in the latter stages of the campaign. If they don’t, the public will hammer them about being wrong and they can no longer sell their service. Very soon Trump will be washed and qualified to run the country.
That pesky usdx backed away from strong resistance today.

DONALD TRUMP Back Up Two Points in Rasmussen Poll Following Debate
Jim Hoft Oct 13th, 2016 8:11 am 29 Comments
Donald Trump is back up 2 points over Hillary Clinton in the latest Rasmussen national poll.
This poll follows Donald Trump’s historic performance in the second national debate.

Rasmussen reported:
The full results from Sunday night’s debate are in, and Donald Trump has come from behind to take the lead over Hillary Clinton.
The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.
Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters. Monday’s survey was the first following the release of an 11-year-old video showing Trump discussing women in graphic sexual detail but did not include any polling results taken after the debate. All three nights of the latest survey follow Sunday’s debate.
They sell any amount they want to drive prices down and nothing is said or done…NEM has fallen over 2.5 % as has GDX while Gold hasn’t moved…purely tks to massive GDX selling at all prices.
Whoever controls the money, controls the countries. They control businesses, politicians, governments etc and have the power to tax people via the invisible tax of inflation.
They redistribute wealth exactly like a small domestic gov’t taxes people’s income, and hands it over to useless gov’t employees welfare jobs, or give it to the newly poor victims of globalization via food stamps section 8 land lords.
But on a global scale, they redistribute wealth by rejiggering various countries currency values to move wealth from wealthy countries via imports on to poor useless lazy hot weather countries that produce our needs and export products and growing poverty to the USA.
IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE. THEY WON, TOOK AWAY TOO MUCH, NOTHING LEFT TO WIN, ITS ALL IN REVERSE NOW. EVERY SINGLE TIME AN AMERICAN BUYS AN IMPORTED PRODUCT, HE IS UNWITTINGLY PAYING A GLOBAL INCOME TAX SO A FOREIGNER CAN BECOME NEWLY MIDDLE CLASS. You know, new slaves, new consumers for bank loans and customers for big businesses.
Nine eleven in 2001, combined with non performing loans BETWEEN ’01 AND ’08 BANKRUPTED the banks and many of their businesses.
