Trump Failed The Easiest Test
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Published on Mar 1, 2016
Stephen was wrong when he told Hillary Clinton that "Will you lie?" is the easiest question in politics.

Ok...no bones about it..I don't like Trump. I fear him with Presidential power..I foresee war in his first 6 months and pi$$ing off any number of countries we don't need to pi$$ off. His mouth is writing checks he can't cash because anything he wants to do with immigration still has to pass senate and house..he is not the island he thinks he is. Aside from that..he has captured a first that has me giggling from head to toe. The only candidate ever to be endorsed by a past grand dragon of the KKK AND a black president. OY VEY..a one man wonder he is. Now above all I hate haters..truly I do. We're all in this together I don't care what the color religion or gender..haters just don't fit..they need to be stuffed on a remote island all together to sort themselves out away from people who actually want to get along and evolve. Now I am sorry if I've offended any Trumpets out there who love the man but that one is just too paradoxical to pass by. Maybe even oxy-moronish..question: What do the KKK and a black president have in common? The Donald... Trumpets.... Smile goes {here}....too funny!

I'm voting for Trump. I like what he says. Especially about the border and he's got the balls to do something about it unlike all the other amnesty granting politically correct BS artists and liars lying their way to the Whitehouse. Hillary is stupid, a liar and she killed people because of her government reasoning. Kruze is a e-mail blasting crud, he showed his brown colors. Rubio is a pretty-boy fast talking care-salesman. Kasich is anti-worker and the Unions hate him, but he's charming. I don't know much about Sanders, but I like some of the things he says, but I've had enough of the Democrats for awhile.

We all have that choice. What I don't like are the 'satellites' that form around him. Neo nazi's..skin heads..they love his message too. He can't hold a rally without someone getting hurt or a fight breaking out. Muslims getting beat up. In a world where people need to get along..he's the catalyst for the opposite (in my opinion naturally) and his message really is clear. He's rich and that makes him special.
I live in Californina. We have serious border issues and I have a real issue with people coming here and jumping onto welfare to support their families. Those people give others a bad rep. And now with the minimum wage at $10 who wouldn't want to come here. But...he isn't an island. He can't change policy just because he wants to. Not to mention...how is someone like him likely to handle N. Korea or Iran or China or Russia? He's just plain offensive..tactless. That doesn't make for peaceful negotiations with countries who have the capability to reach the US.
For every reason I give...a counter may be found and that's just the way it is. I don't like Hillary either. They're politicians..they both lie they both live on BS. On the positive side..maybe big hunkin' reptile soldiers from the Nth dimension will step in and overthrow the government OR....maybe Trump really is an alien in disguise..a hybrid raised by Gray's to take over the world for them. Is not one as ludicrous as the other??

Even the scientific community is concerned.....
Here is an opinion piece on the political state of America, expressed by a scientist. The elephant in the room we can’t ignoreIf Donald Trump were to trigger a crisis in Western democracy, scientists would need to look at their part in its downfall.
Colin Macilwain 16 March 2016
The annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Washington DC last month was one of the best I’ve witnessed in more than 20 years of regular attendance. The policy sessions were packed and genuinely stimulating. I met tons of smart, influential people I hadn’t seen for ages, and we all enjoyed a good chinwag about how better to engage with the public — the meeting’s theme for 2016.
The only trouble was what was going on outside the hotel — in the United States and the world at large.
In fact, the AAAS meeting took place in a sort of semi-conscious never-never land. The science-policy crowd talked a great game even as the pillars of the republic crashed noisily down around their heads.
Supporters or representatives of Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee for this November’s US presidential election, his extremely conservative rival Ted Cruz, or even Bernie Sanders, the Democrat insurgent, were simply not involved in these discussions. They never are. Senior scientists are instead inextricably linked to the centrist, free-market political establishment that has tended to rule, but which is now falling dangerously from public favour.
It is not just in the United States that this consensus — and perhaps democracy itself — is in danger. Poland has just elected a reactionary government that is clamping down on press freedom; France is toying with electing far-right politician Marine Le Pen to the presidency; and the rest of the world’s elected leaders are each threatened, to a greater or lesser extent, by economic and migration crises. Populist nationalism is on the march again — exemplified by the rise of Trump, whose mode of operation does not countenance the opinions, advice or goodwill of anybody else.
Not for nothing are people being urged to read Rubicon: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic, Tom Holland’s summary of how Rome fell. The establishment — with which science has habitually enjoyed a genial, if subservient relationship — is on the rocks.
Many laboratory researchers perceive this, I fear, to be someone else’s problem. But it isn’t. If the West is really in its decline-and-fall stage, its Caligula stage, its Donald Trump stage, then this isn’t just an issue for political and financial elites. It’s also a problem for the ‘experts’ who crawl around after these elites, massaging their egos and defending their interests.
The playwright Bertolt Brecht had a good line on expertise. In his plays, doctors, lawyers and other ‘experts’ are generally portrayed in threes. They squabble haplessly among themselves, each maneuvering into the position that most elevates themselves in the eyes of their aristocratic paymaster.
And that, sadly, is the role to which senior scientific leaders have sometimes reduced themselves. In the main, they have been happy to accept the autocracy of politics and finance, even, like the president of the European Research Council, hanging around at the annual meeting of business leaders at Davos in Switzerland, hoping to pick up crumbs from the rich man’s table.
The problem extends down into the community itself. We like to talk about ‘engaging the public’, but many scientists really just want to talk at them. And too many ordinary scientists hold politicians in utter intellectual contempt — even though it is the scientists who have chosen a career that allows them to pursue relatively simple problems (such as building a machine to detect gravitational waves) rather than genuinely difficult ones (such as running a social-care programme in a small town).
And those senior scientists who do engage with the government or public — as scientific advisers, for example — often take up highly political positions without acknowledging that they are doing so. For example, they support free-trade agreements that cede the right of democratic governments to control things such as cigarette advertising or pesticide use without hard, scientific evidence. This is a political position that is pursued with great dedication by global corporations — and that is haplessly bought into by many scientists without a thought for its consequences.
I admit that it is difficult to bring more subtle and varied political approaches to the table. Groups of researchers that have tried to do so — such as the Federation of American Scientists and Union of Concerned Scientists — have struggled to gain traction. Still, there is a fresher, grass-roots movement, exemplified by local ‘sceptics’ groups, through which younger scientists are trying to make their work relate to society’s wider concerns.
But at the top, there is paralysis: leading scientific organizations do little except chase money and reinforce the ruling nexus of politics and finance — even since the financial crisis of 2008, which discredited the free-market philosophy that underpins that nexus. I argued years ago (see Nature 479, 447; 2011) that scientific leaders had failed to respond in any meaningful way to that collapse, and I’m still waiting.
The political structure of the West is in deep trouble, and should it fall apart, there will be plenty of blame to go around. Most will go to political and financial elites, or to rowdy mobs. But some will belong to people in the middle who have taken public funds, defended elites and then stood back and watched as democracy got ridden over a cliff.
Colin is currently science editor for ResearchResearch. He worked at Nature for 14 years and was the science editor there for 5 years.

Psychic part of me is wanting to bury it's head in the sand...really unsettled feelings because everything IS so fragile right now.. and I understand..people want to elect a power figure..a strong leader. His influence and his money..make him seem so but I know enough rich people of this ilk...I'm wealthy so they can't touch me so 'luck' them if they don't like it. Lots of money can breed a horrible indifference to the concerns of others. And in satisfying a power trip who's going to be in the fall out? We 'think' we understand that no one is stupid enough to push 'the' button. We don't understand mental illness very well or a lot of other things for that matter. This person frightens me for the world. Hillary would be an ineffectual leader I think but not so much a dangerous one. Lots of the world leaders are a little skin thin...don't like being bullied..don't like being down played..it's a pretty dodgy chess game of not stepping on dignity and keeping face and promoting friendships or better yet..respect..can he do that? I don't think he would care to and to me..that makes him dangerous.
Won't matter..won't be our vote that elects him or not. There's always a grassy knoll somewhere right?

On the positive side..maybe big hunkin' reptile soldiers from the Nth dimension will step in and overthrow the government OR....maybe Trump really is an alien in disguise..a hybrid raised by Gray's to take over the world for them. Is not one as ludicrous as the other?? All we know about these people is what we learn on TV and right now, everyone in power is working over-time to get rid of him. Yeah, and the TV 'news-channels' all controlled by the congress (they aren't working for us) controlled FCC and the powers-behind-the-scenes only show what's happening at Trump's ralleys, while concentrating, by clipping in sound sound-clips, only the apparently nasty things...what a coincidence? Nothing good is being reported, except on InfoWars or Aljazeera or Russian TV, everything nasty is appearing on 'American' news about the mayhem at only HIS rallys. And all the programmed automatons out there believe it, hook-line & sinker. Americans are so cluelessly stupid its incredible. As for the Muslims, they don't belong here. Our spiritual and our cultural values are incompatible with theirs. They don't think like us and they bring their Sharia Law with them. They are protected under the Constitution. But their Law is completely anti-women's rights. Women are 2nd class property. Not to mention that 12yro girls, mandatory clitoris public mutililation thing that they all practice. Ever meet one of those girls? Its an eye-opener. Anti-constitution. Their Clerics are the judge and administrators of their laws in their clicqish-communities. Remember the Masons? They worked very hard to seperate Church and State here, in their formation of our US and now we are war with Muslims and they are bringing their brand of church integrated with state, back. Yep, go right ahead and defend them and pray one of them doesn't decide to shoot up your neighborhood or saw-off the head of some child with a butcher-knife. Perhaps you have not noticed, but they are trying to kill us, they are at war with us, and they immigrating here, legally. All through out history, the Arabs have immigrated with those they are working to defeat. Trump is correct, keep them out. And I raise my right hand, as I pledge to vote for him!! And I'm German too, click! Snapping of my heels. Hah hah hah. As for the Mexicans and all those other illegals sneaking in through our porous border, who consume everything we give for free. America the land of the Free-Meal, where ya don't even hav'ta speak the language. Next time you are sitting around smoking Mexican MaryJane, snorting a line or shooting a heroin SpeedBall (Boston), consider that if they can smuggle that stuff in, why not a nuke or two? Oh, and BTW, it was a Democrat President that invented the 'Birther-Law' that has caused the massive influx of pregnant Hispanic women since the mid-1960s. They get pregnant on the other side of the border, places such as Jalisco, Acunia, Juarez, Tijuana, etc, and then cross-over, pop their pups here, becoming instant legal citizens who do not know our cultural values, spiritual values, festivals, celebrations, etc, but they all celebrate Cinco de Mayo!! When General Juarez kicked out the Spanairds occupying Mehico. Remember in the news about all of those killings and kidnappings taking place in Juarez, Mexico? That was caused by the opening of the legal medical marijuana clinics in California and a few of the other states. When I was very poor as a kid, I at times would buy lunch in Juarez. I'd take the trolly-car from El Paso (2 centavos) to Juarez, and for another 10 centavos, I could buy a burrito and horchatka. But as a city, it is a filthy shi.t-hole. And they practice a double standard. Mexicans do as they please, but Americans are not allowed. For instance, Mexicans are often seen freely fornicating in parks, whereas Americans, if even seen kissing in public are arrested. Mexico is a really nasty country. That's why they all wanna come here. Our politicians re; the wall, "who will pay for it?" How about using a bit of that attack-helicopter money from the defense budget? Isn't our borders a part of the national defense? And Mexico has aligned with EVERY enemy of the US since the War of 1812. In fact it was an intercepted communique between the Third Reich and the Emperor of Mexico that caused the US to Declare War on Germany!!! Yep, they were making deals with Chancellor Hitler, in exchange for operating submarine bases in the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico was to get Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California in the deal. The Germans used the Mexican bases to sink our ships. And they were preparing to invade the US through, Juarez via El Paso, Tx. And the Democrats use Mexicans as the swing vote. I'm voting for Trump. The reason Trump is wealthy is likely due to numerous things, one being he was born into wealth and likely attended the best schools, etc. Also, there is something about being around the wealthy that tends to enable one to remain within the wealthy reality. All that aside, Trump has had his ups and downs and has been broke a few times, but he always made a come back. But in each instance, it is because he learns, he adapts, he is a successful businessman and he is very smart. Like many others and myself who have had enough of our corrupt fascist thinking/behaving government, we need a change from all the lying, deceitfullness, dishonesty, military bullying for resources (for which the public doesn't receive rewards) and the clueless non-business political managers who can't produce anything of value themselves except larger more wasteful government and who are managing our country into a third-world poverty-index, while taxes continually rise....we need a change from that. Will he be a good presiden? I do not know whether or not Trump will be a good President, it may turn out that he is the worst, or perhaps the best in American history? Can he be any worse than Clinton, or Nixon or Obama? They all had their good moments and their bad. The most obvious thing for me in this, is that Trump, as my father once said about me, 'is a sh.it-disturberer', and Donald Trump has definitely disturbed the sh.it and he has energized America in a manner that I have never seen in this life before. Think about it. You ever see anyone do it before? I remember all the way back to Eisenhower. I hope that Donald Trump turns out to be a Great president...we have had so many bad ones. He could do remarkable things if he does. Years ago, I was working near Stockton California at McClellan AFB. I was a high-bay high-voltage electrician in High-Bay III. It was (might still be?) the tallest free-standing structure in the world. It was built to house blimps during WWI. While I was working there, it was being used to repair shot-up Vietnam Warbirds. I worked on a ladder taller than anything I have ever seen since. Rain clouds often formed near the ceiling where I worked daily on that ladder. One day the military contracting company (my Father's) sent me out for materials into Stockton. The streets around the supply house were all blocked and there were cops standing around. So I drove up a few allies to find a way over to the supply house. Up one alley I saw a large contingent of news trucks and reporters swarming around the back-door of a theatre like building. Standing on the top of a stairway landing from parking-lot street level was a dark-haird man. He was about 3 1/2 feet higher than the reporters around stairs below. He was talking to them, fielding their questions. I was maybe 100ft~200ft sitting in my van from all of this. I saw a guy move through the crowd of reporters, he came up to within a few feet of the guy on the landing and looking up at him, he spit on him. The dark-haird guy reached down and slapped him in the face. The spitter turned around and exclaimed, "You all saw that, he hit me, I'm gonna sue his a.ss off", and the guy on the landing replied, "You spit on me again, I'll slap you again!". The next day in the news all that was reported was that Governor Reagon had smacked a pedestrian, and it was reported in such a way, that it appeared his actions were unprovoked. I voted for Ronald Reagon when he ran for President and he turned out to be a good President in my opinion. I voted for him because he had the balls to be a stand-up guy when he needed to be. That's why I am voting for Trump. >maybe big hunkin' reptile soldiers from the Nth dimension Ouch. The vision I saw might have been a metaphore, although that makes little difference in the context of the danger, Dragons have always been the Chinese icon and China, is on the move. They got lots of money ($17 trillion of ours), they got the technology, they got a space-station in orbit, they got the bomb, they got ICBMs (Long March), they got long-range stealth bombers, they got billions of people and we got lots of fertile land managed by stupid and corrupt managers. I'm voting for Trump.

Oh and one last item, irregardless of whether or not Trump is granted the nomination (meaning the Rep party might not recognize the will of the people, remember the establishment is NOT working for us, thats the root problem), I plan to volunteer for his organization, to do what ever they ask me to do to aid in the election of Donald Trump.
I'm voting Trump. He's my kind of American. He's a sh.it-disturberer like me.

Many laboratory researchers perceive this, I fear, to be someone else’s problem. But it isn’t. If the West is really in its decline-and-fall stage, its Caligula stage, its Donald Trump stage, then this isn’t just an issue for political and financial elites. It’s also a problem for the ‘experts’ who crawl around after these elites, massaging their egos and defending their interests.
Read more: theedgeofreality.proboards.com/thread/6300/donald-trump-amazing-wonder#ixzz43IbXAO8Y************* I find it amazing that Caligula is mentioned. I find it amazing that Trump is really serious about this and has made it this far. If people are shocked by what comes out of his mouth, truly, he would have been "shut down" his first week. And I'm also talking about the form
this stuff comes out of his mouth. Was he "allowed" to proceed this far because of the entertainment value? Because of his money, and presence as a "celebrity", that he can speak so much publically as his right of free speech? Amazing. We are already at war. The danger that Trump poses, is to himself, because IF he becomes President, do you really think that he is going to be able to abuse his power? He WON"T be in control. IMO, we will be going back to the days of our "first presidency" when NO ONE really knew what we were doing. We just knew we needed something different. And it took a lot of people, working together, to make any kind of important decisions. IF Trump can be "polished up", and have a bevy of trusted (by the people) advisors . . . pinching myself (again). Is Trump running for the President of the United States? Isn't that a "puppet job", in general? No one wants a dictator, and I believe no one will let the next pres be one. And no one, secretly behind the scenes, is calculating how they can "buy Trump off" and get what THEY want while he is in office. He's really shaking things up. ***** And, if we're looking for the more experienced candidate, that would be Clinton. Nothing personal to her, but I think this is probably one of the worst times in history for a woman to become Pres. Even if it seems that it would be a natural flowing occurrence. I have to stop and wonder why is she actually running for pres. . . . does she really know something that we don't? I get "little hints" of that. Don't You? Of course she can't be trusted; isn't that part of the job, always? She sure is "attacked" alot for that "normal" quality (in her "class" of people, anyway). Is she shaking things up (but more behind the scenes)? ***** My kids, have been "shoving" Sanders in my face since this all started. Which is kind of weird. He seems to be shaking up things, too. With him, I worry about the "little things" that just make us old folks tired. Day in, day out. For 4 years. maybe 8. ***** Really, I'm super curious of choices of any of the candidates, for VP. It should matter. (especially if you are racist. The smart choice would be someone who definitely is not, or . . .) ***** I don't know who I am voting for. I will tell you that M. Romney/z./, changed my mind about even giving Trump any space in my thoughts. When our Jo, here, speaks up and addresses the concern of diplomacy and Trumps personality, I totally agreed. But another politician using that? Weird. Right now, should I be concerned with each candidates ability to make and hold friendships?

Ich this is awful...my trusty Dell...refused to power up yesterday Probably hacked by Trump supporters. Kidding. Anyway I'm stuck on this antique windows xp laptop until new dell arrives next Friday. No president is ever completely in control. I don't really think Trump will get the nomination..he's spooked a lot of his own party with antics like tantrums that just don't belong. I don't think the world needs to be 'shook up' right now..I think now is a time to tread lightly but that's not my decission either. My mojo isn't that strong LOL. I do really understand why people would vote for him..I do..but I just don't think he's the way to achieve what people are after. As for people sneaking over here and taking food out of our mouths or whatever..well..if I were on that side of the border..I'd probably be hiring me a coyote and making a break for it too. Reminds me of how fortunate I am to be here..to toss in my 2 cents worth. I spend so much time trying to keep everyone around me and my surroundings..easy and peaceful and without soap opera drama LOL. Whom ever is elected...half of the people will be furious...half ecstatic..always the way of it. I think Kennedy was an exception. Since we can't all be happy about it..we can still manage to be friends here right?

Ich this is awful...my trusty Dell...refused to power up yesterday :( Probably hacked by Trump supporters. Kidding. Anyway I'm stuck on this antique windows xp laptop until new dell arrives next Friday. I didn't do it this time either... :P I love XP. Its the PERFECT operating system. There is absolutely nothing wrong with XP, aside from the fact that Macro$haft wanted to sell new product. About five years before they stopped support (they charge for it although) M$ began to design-in sneaky vulnerabilities using their automaton 'upgrades' so that the other monetary driven hoodlums that drive our automatons from crisis to crisis could take advantage of. I also liked WinME, it was a great little OS also. I wrote sh.it-loads of software for that OS, and also for XP. In my place on my systems, I have DrDOS 6.20, Win311, WinME, Win2k, OS2 (I was a device driver developer IBM), WinXP and of course various flavors of Unix and Linux. In fact I probably have more versions of Unix running than I do of the PC IBM/M$ OSs. But, I do like XP very much. The only downside to hanging on to that crappy Win7x ~ 10 junk, is that some of the newer software just flat will not work on WinXP using that stinkball framework dotNet. Where's our government protecting us from this type of bad business? Macro$haft has wiped out entire programming industry segments through the unnecessary promotion of dotNet. The astute might ask, 'how many compiler companies are there now since the advent of Macro$haft's dotNET?' How many people lost their jobs? 100,000? Talk about a monopoly. Where's the FTC protecting the US Public from these megalithic corporate pigs and their deceitful greed driven tech schemes? However, we do see those FBI/KGB mandated backdoors appearing through the US LAW. Americans are so stupid its incredible.

Americans are spoiled in many ways but I don't think most are stupid..and many are poor enough to never qualify as being spoiled. Upper class..well they don't have to use much logic and have probably lost that 'instinct' that still preserves many of us. I'm a very instinctual player..even aside from the psychic mumbo jumbo of mine..I can create necessities from bubble gum and paper clips like you wouldn't believe because I've had to do it all of my life. I am NOT a stupid American. On the other hand I like windows 10 so maybe I am tainted in your eyes of perfection Plutronus. I don't burn crosses OR flags...I don't attend rallies..I truly DO believe that ALL people and colors were created equally in spite of the fact that my drunken mother was one of the worst racists I've ever known...I believe in things like fung shui and harmonics and harmony and music that twines around the soul and squeezes out what ever mild hostility might be found there. And unfortunately I do believe that alien presence's have found their way here and abduct those they find 'interesting' for some research project..and I don't appreciate them or their 'interest'. Mostly I don't believe they want the good ole earth and I keep praying they'll take away all of the politicians and the haters and the racists and the other 'never to be pleased' unhappy campers and the serial killers and the pedophiles and the child abusers and killers..but unfortunately..those aren't the ones they want. Pity. I know some brilliant engineers and doctors and a couple of scientists who share my thoughts ..it's always nice to have company on my cloud. And I can't stand liars. So..if I am stupid for liking windows ten and not appreciating the finer qualities of THE Donald..well then color me thusly.

I usually will avoid net discussions concerning religion and politics.. Im making an exception. Pardon me while I rant,,,,,Here it goes :
It would be awesome to see Trump nominate someone like Condi Rice (if she were to accept it) as Vice President or Senior Advisor. She is a warrior......I respect her loyalty and courage.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio would be a great candidate for Director of National Security. Kudos to him for his true patriotism ! The man should be honored .....
To WHOMEVER is elected :
PROTECT OUR BORDERS !!!
I have the God given right to shoot whoever enters my home unannounced. Our borders shouldnt be any different. I also have the God given right to bear arms...
BRING BACK JOBS TO AMERICA !
GET THOSE LAZY BLEEPS OFF THEIR MOMMAS SOFA AND FORCE THEM TO PUT DOWN THE VIDEO GAMES AND GET A JOB !
Come on, Im not a saint but I worked (busted my donkey) for over 25 yrs with a broken neck and back in several places til I couldnt anymore...and loved it ! I havent fully given up yet either...
HOUSE,FEED,CLOTHE,AND EDUCATE EVERY >> U.S.AMERICAN << CHILD .
PROTECT OUR ALLIES !
Shall I mention reform with the FDA (legalize it),NRC (do your job),and other Dept's ?
Im done ranting for now.....
Sips coffee......takes a toke.....
And no....I am not prejudice.
