31. Well stupid comes to mind first of all

on your second question.

This "guy" epitomizes along with the other white nationalist running for the president office.

My Rant:


When this country is so stupid that when carnival barkers can make it onto a "stage" and then hire individuals from the Breitbart /Alex Jones ilk, and then have a campaign manager on the former Cruz mantra go on a cable show go on the Rachel Maddow, and deflect questions being thrown right at her to make him ( herr drumpftser look moderate with more BS) is amazing on its face

Then finding out from the last night show (Rachel Maddow) that same "Hedge Fund" "guy" by the name of Robert Mercer (Renaissance Technologies) is funding the site called Breitbart and then having said hedge fund money being directed new extremists running a major party candidate called TP (toilet and paper= trump and pence ) (Bannon) , and then having this campaign manager who use to be employed by Mercer (Kellyanne Conway) who use to be with the extremist senator by the name of Ted Cruz mantra.

And if anyone was to think about this for just for one minute a hedge fund guy sitting in Wall Street New York, funding these people on Breitbart, ie Bannon and Cruz ie Conway and her PAC.

While the Congress, which is now controlled by the likes of Eddie Munster (Paul Ryan) and Turtle Lips (Mitch McConnell) looks the other way, and think that herr drumpfster (trump) comments are out of line. an will still vote for him is just outright pandering to get a racists and bigot into office is amazing.

When he, Ryan or McConnell come up to a podium why aren't they asking him this question :
What do you think of Robert Mercer funding Brietbart and having people that were on the payroll (Mercer) of these people Bannon and Conway, and do you think Citizen United should be overturned

If anyone with any common sense understood what this "guy" in this hedge fund and how Citizen United has created this situation they would fully understand that this country is now under attack by a white nationalist , lets not mince words here and Maddows guest last night has it right the media has failed to expose this, and if it wasn't for Maddow I wouldn't have known about it either,

Mercer and Breitbart.

The media should be asking who Robert Mercer is and his hedge fund, and why are people on (wall street) investing in his hedge fund, and they should be exposed for this "stuff", is that what this money is being used for, to fund extremists sites.

And has for Lepage, Maine you have a problem, your state use to make shoes, the map of the country should have a picture of this "guy" with a Maine shoe sticking out of his mouth

Meanwhile, keep posting photos of him with Trump. TheCowsCameHome Aug 2016 #1

Why Mainer's continue to elect this guy is beyond me. TonyPDX Aug 2016 #8
Because the opposition split two ways, so he won without a majority. tblue37 Aug 2016 #13
