British magazine The Economist ran a cover for their latest edition that sums up the world's sentiments on at least one-half of the American political system better than all the commentary in an entire year stateside — and all they needed was a single picture and 5 words.

The same magazine that portrait the Russian President like this?

Yes, very respectful, unbiased and not propaganda machine magazine right?

You know, Im starting to want HC get the chair... lets see how Syria "issue" will unfold.



Im afraid, in a very near future, the button they are pushing in the picture above will not be the reset one. And I was very sceptical about a war with nuclear exchanges not a while ago.

Interesting - - Trump is saying that if he is elected as President he will not accept the annual salary for a President. I suppose that would be a first,

Actually kennedy did the same...

The annual salary for President is a mere few hundred thousand... probably what Donald makes on his holdings in an hour

Then I guess we can suppose that in his mind, that would pretty much amount to just "Trump-change"
instead of................!!

Trump and Clinton remained sharply at odds over his unprecedented assertion in the final debate on Wednesday that he may not concede if he loses. She said Friday at a Cleveland campaign stop, "Make no mistake: By doing that, he is threatening our democracy." She said that America knows "the difference between leadership and dictatorship."

Trump has said he's merely reserving the right to contest the results if the outcome is unclear or questionable. Underpinning his threat is his contention — presented with no evidence — that the election is "rigged" against him and may be soiled by widespread voter fraud. He's urged supporters to "monitor" polling places for potential shenanigans.

Fanning those flames, Russia's government has asked Oklahoma and two other states to allow Russian officials to be present at polling stations on Election Day, to study the "U.S. experience in organization of voting process." Allegations by the U.S. government that Russia is trying to influence the election by hacking Democratic groups has fed a Clinton camp claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin is siding with Trump.

The Oklahoma secretary of state's office said Friday it had denied the Russian request, in line with state law. At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest said it was unclear what Moscow was trying to do.

"It's appropriate that people might be suspicious of their motives," Earnest said.

Space Otter said, "Trump and Clinton remained sharply at odds over his unprecedented assertion in the final debate on Wednesday that he may not concede if he loses."

Which, IMO, should be the response of any "thinking" person to the yet unknown outcome of a future event, especially with the known election tactics of the Democratic party.

Space Otter said, " Underpinning his threat is his contention — presented with no evidence — that the election is "rigged" against him and may be soiled by widespread voter fraud.

No, there is plenty of evidence around, if one just pays a small bit of attention. At that time, Trump was including the mainstream media, but since even a very compelling video has been released relative to how the protests at Trump events have been staged and paid for by the Democrats

............and based upon the FACT that numerous past Presidential elections have had significant voting result questions/challenges, Trumps answer was right on point!!

And now there is this video!!........Note how one Democratic operative has been fired, and another has resigned, but the "narrative" of the Democrats at the table in this video still say "the maker of the video cannot be trusted". The Democratic powers-that-be must have trusted it enough to get rid of at least 2 people already!!

This piece is very obviously written by someone (Editor's note) who is also anti-Trump, because his/her litany proffered in the editors note is pretty much democratic talking-points/slander!

The editors note is the cold hard facts about Trump.

The facts are that it does not matter what the view of the writer is.  It is a report about what Branson has told the journalist.  It must be true because if it was not then Trump could sue Branson and The Huffington Post for defamation.  It confirms what most of the world already know about Trump.  He is obviously a nasty and very dangerous person who has come perilously close to having too much power.   He is clearly a sociopath and not the sort of person you'd pick to lead a nation.

just a very small caveat on the 'space otter says' part..
it really should be space otter 'posted'..
(because what i do say is usually in this lime green color - for clarity)

and while i may or may not be in agreement with what is posted written in the articles.. it wasn't me speaking

thank you very much for future correctness

Pimander, I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS!! My guess is that your "what most of the world already knows about Trump" is for people, like you maybe in this case, who simply accept as fact whatsoever the mainstream news media and the Democratic party spews out about Trump!~! The specific wording adjectives used in this article are so DNC typical, and so wrong, in their characterization of the man who is running for President!!

Your definition of Trump as a "Sociopath"~~~ now that is a real laugh!! Not even close!! 

And, with all that said, I will make my first prediction on this - Donald trump will soon become the next President of the United States of America!!

That has to be one of the most ridiculous things to say about me.

I don't take what the MSM says about many things at face value.  But in the case of Trump I don't have to.  I can base my views on observing him and taking HIS OWN WORDS to form my own opinion.

Your definition of Trump as a "Sociopath"~~~ now that is a real laugh!! Not even close!! 

Lets take what the professionals think of him then.

According to a number of top U.S. psychologists, like Harvard professor and researcher Howard Gardner, Donald Trump is a "textbook" narcissist. In fact, he fits the profile so well that clinical psychologist George Simon told Vanity Fair, "He's so classic that I'm archiving video clips of him to use in workshops." This puts Trump in the same category as a number of infamous dictators like Muammar Gaddafi, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Saddam Hussein.

According to the Mayo Clinic, narcissistic personality disorder is "a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others."

If you want to try to convince anyone of the truth of political matters, do not proffer leftist/progressive agenda people such as Harvard professors and MSNBC news reporting!!  ..........

[Pimander]

If you want to try to convince anyone of the truth of political matters,

Strictly speaking, it isn't really a political matter.  His personality isn't a policy.  I do find it interesting though.

The truth is lots of politicians have Narcissistic tendencies.  I do though give the story more credence than the idea Hilary is about to drop dead.
