Hahahahaha.... If this story is true....
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2…
When he was considering a run for president, in 2011, Trump had a conversation with Steve Burke, the chief executive of NBCUniversal, who was interested in green-lighting a new season of The Apprentice. Trump could pursue one option or the other, it seemed, but not both. During their conversation, Trump told Burke that he would reconsider his candidacy, but he wanted to hear it from him directly.
“If you don’t want me to do this, then I need you to ask me,” Trump told the executive, according to one person familiar with the conversation. Burke eventually went to Trump’s office and conceded that he did not want his star to attempt a bid for the White House.
But another person with knowledge of the situation noted that the two men had a subsequent conversation in which they broached a compromise, albeit one that seems more like a Trumpian fever dream than a network-TV reality. It outlined, presumably fantastically, that Trump should run for president; and on the off chance that he won, he would continue to star in The Apprentice FROM WITHIN THE WHITEHOUSE.

- Results in massive shaded area fall within poll's margin of error! Hahahanb
- Trump's continued efforts to help those in Louisiana must have earned him credibility over the weekend.KaitlinMcCarthy
- This poll should be taken with a grain of salt, from what I read it's a different approach where they ask same people each time to see how their views change.yuekit
- Yep, the headline should be "Someone Found A Poll Where Donald Trump Isn't Losing"nb

Trump is such a dick, but I can't help but rethink that the guy has gone out of his way to help the folks in Louisiana. There is barely any news coverage yet they say its twice the size of Katrina. He's still out there and the folks still need your help.
- he's helping them build new dams with that Play-Doh.Ramanisky2
- That was funny what people said about the Play Doh til I realized it is a gender neutral toy that helps kids escape disastrous pain and chaos happening there.KaitlinMcCarthy

- These third party people keep insisting that we don't need war. don't they realize that we need to keep pounding away on terrorism? Hillary is my man.omg
- haha... that's a jokeomg
- i also like his real response to TPP. skepictism and acknowledgement no one knows whats in itdeathboy
- Yep, the only rational response to the TPP is "Can I read it?" People who are against it (or for it) have no idea what they're talking about.nb

I'm sure nothing in those emails will be condemning in any way. Many of them were the deleted emails, so it's all probably useless duplicates, trash or spam. It's messed up that Colin Powell is not taking one for the team here, especially since it was his idea to use a personal server. Unlike Debbie Schultz who held her ground. Hillary is still the one and only choice here and you don't want to see Trump in your future... do you? I don't even know how this is news. The FBI just has it in for Hillary.
- The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails! The emails!nb
- Oh, those emails.Ramanisky2
- Can you imagine Hillary getting sent to prison over those emails, either before or after the election?KaitlinMcCarthy
- Colin Powell already took one for the team under GW Bush, his power point deck convinced congress it was okay to attack Iraq.robotron3k

A TV host apologized to the country today for using the term "coloured people" instead of "people of colour" while bringing up the lack of diversity in American movies on national TV.
Meanwhile, you've got people like Donald Trump who claims he's not a racist.
Says a lot about race relations in America, doesn't it?
- Louisiana's population has the second largest proportion of black Americans, I'm bet when Trump went to Louisiana, he was only concerned about the white onesKaitlinMcCarthy
- I bet Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. is not even black too.KaitlinMcCarthy
- Are you suggesting that because Trump went to Louisiana and Milwaukee (during a presidential campaign) that he cannot be racist?nb
- Those places are multi racial by the way. nerp.yurimon
- #yUrine_nerpRamanisky2
- He's definitely a racist that helps black people, and getting 31% of Hispanic voters on his side, compared to McCain's 4% or Bush's 9% of Hispanic voters.KaitlinMcCarthy
- Cool fake stats, bro.nb

- Lol, even your own link from a shitty source doesn't back you up.nb
- Or, wait, you do know that "hispanics" and "black people" aren't the same, right? Right? lulz.nb
- He's so non racist he refused to rent to black people and said Obama was born in Africa.yuekit
- LOL as if having 70% of a group hate you is a good thing. 30% is embarrassingly bad. Certainly not a trump win by any means.monospaced
- nb, i tried to simplify it for you in one paragraph, but later realized you need to read the entire article. but the stats are all there at your request.KaitlinMcCarthy
- 30% is a nice chunk of Hispanic people. Surprisingly enough to worry Hillary as he slowly rolls out the carpet for his presidency.KaitlinMcCarthy
- People loved watching him rolling deep into the disastrous terrains of Louisiana with his presidential entourage with sirens blazing.KaitlinMcCarthy
- Folks are writing Trump's name on the walls down there.KaitlinMcCarthy
- Lulz I did read the whole article. It was like 25 sentences. Nowhere does it mention "McCain's 4% or Bush's 9% of hispanic voters" as you claim.nb
- 30% is not a nice chunk. It's so pathetically low it might as well be nothing.monospaced
- FYI That entire article is based on a poll done almost one year ago. (Sep 2-3, 2015). Please try to read a little more carefully to avoid sharing false info.nb
- Trump has no presidential entourage either.monospaced
- since you can read, then you know its not false. You better understand the difference before you make up more lies to support your nb cause.KaitlinMcCarthy
- The article you posted doesn't even mention hispanic support for Bush or McCain. You obviously misread it, or misquoted it.nb
- Anyway, that poll is a year old. The most recent one I heard was putting support from Trump among black voters at between 0% and 2%nb
- typo: *fornb
- Fucking 2% hahaha!!! It'll probably go up, though. I can hardly wait for it to get back to 20% and Trump start bragging about how black support has gone up 10x.nb

How the first liberal Supreme Court in a generation could reshape America
Odds are that very soon, the Supreme Court will become something it hasn’t been in nearly 50 years: made up of a majority of Democratic-appointed justices.
A liberal Court could end long-term solitary confinement. It could mandate better prison conditions in general, making it more costly to maintain mass incarceration. It could conceivably end the death penalty. It could uphold tough state campaign finance rules and start to move away from Citizens United. It could start to develop a robust right to vote and limit gerrymandering. It could strengthen abortion rights, moving toward viewing abortion rights as a matter of equal protection for women.
- it could move away from individual rights to group rights, or gov granted rightsdeathboy
- lots of could be bad with could be positivesdeathboy
- I don't think it's quite that simple. Most of those things listed would fall under individual.yuekit
- the idea healthcare is a right and people believe that is scary. just looking at the whole picture and not positives. optimists are whoresdeathboy
- the idea healthcare is a right and people believe that is scary. just looking at the whole picture and not positives. optimists are whoresdeathboy
- be nice if drug law incarations were less. nothing wrong with death penalty unless u are wrongly convicted, and in that case prison for life is more inhumane.deathboy
- women mostly and some father have right to decide child. campaign finance needs no reform except transparency. sanders proved little amongst many works fine.deathboy
- i know we may disagree but liberals tend to do more things against reason than simpletons, simply because they are more educated in logical falicies. why theydeathboy
- scare me more than a simpleton. look at the things the author of the article thinks are fundamental rights. most of the stuff should be no involvementdeathboy
- from my perspective the court still made a huge error on obamacare ruling an inactivity as a tax. they covered there base saying it was popular fault and coulddeathboy
- be repealed but still a bit frightening when law bends to popular majority. and all the negative reasons why it shouldnt have happed are being seendeathboy
- but will be a sketchy time with court justices. here i will be a whore and hope with optimism but have skepticism and not ignore the whole picturedeathboy
- What could be a more fundamental individual right than the state not having the power to execute you?yuekit
- well i think its based on the philosophy if you violate someones rights you lose yours. if someone killed someone dear to you were do their right begin and end?deathboy
- of course such guilt needs a court system and such systems are not omnipotent... why there is appeals and hopefully rational jurys...deathboy
- why im not opposed to death penalties. what is the point of subsidizing the life of a killer? who does that benefit? vengence of victim? adaptation is a traitdeathboy
- If you are only worried about the cost, it actually costs more to execute someone than to imprison them for life.yuekit
- of humans. and i think you easily can see life in prison for injustices doesnt quite effect the guilty as we would like. so vengence should be burieddeathboy
- ? wait imprisonment for life or execution? seems blatantly unreasonable but how do u mean?deathboy
- Eye for an eye mentality is from another era. Other civilized countries did away with death penalty a long time ago.yuekit
- If you want to take that argument to its extreme, look at how Saudi Arabia does it. Cutting hands off thieves and chopping off heads.yuekit
- There was a criminal in Saudi Arabia who got in a fight and paralyzed the other person, the state surgically paralyzed him as revenge.yuekit
- calling those countries civilized is a fallacy. they want long term vengence, vs practicality and costs. the only real victim in this case is one falsley convicdeathboy
- It's barbaric and should be done away as basic principle, then you can deal with the issue of life imprisonment being inhumane.yuekit
- I know I'm in minority on this though, even most liberals support death penalty in U.S. Because it's easy to come up with an example of someone who didyuekit
- something horrible and make an emotional argument over it.yuekit
- i think the decision should be with the court, but more so with the individual wronged. no cruel and unusal punishment, but let the victim decide death or vengedeathboy
- nce. they are the only ones effected. my feelings dont come into play. id argue life collectively hurts everyone, but its a social cost ill pay if they choose.deathboy
- i think the philosophy of womens right to abort is similiar if not same to the rights of a violater. unborn have nor rights, assaulters have nonedeathboy
- you'd need an objective reference, what dictates area for abortion like a jury for guilt, and after that its the victims decision, or the person with most concedeathboy
- i think my philosophy is sound but there is no help for wrongly confused, just a faith that jurys are capable... which im not confident in...deathboy
- Not only that but some people will have better chance of avoiding death penalty or prison simply because they can afford millions in legal fees.yuekit
- "Almost all defendants who face capital charges cannot afford an attorney"

- the yurinator is back, and he's got a bone to pick with you!monospaced
- thanks continuity for proving my fear. yea makes u wonder about wealth and crime statistics, and question the whole justice system if money gives u such an edgedeathboy
- im sure anyone gone through a messy divorce would contest to how fucked the justice system is and a scam to line the pockets of attorneysdeathboy
- its like come on gov you had but two jobs. and be an arbitrater and defend free people and you are sucking at those. no more jobs for you until u do better.deathboy
- Third job is executions, though, right???nb
- Also, are you seriously judging the justice system on your experience with divorce court? Really, divorce court? Good grief.nb
- divorce court is an analogy. third job executions yes would fall under defense and arbitration. never a married, and think marriage is an outdated conceptdeathboy
- from a time when women were thought of as property and to claim rights too. but give the analogy some thought. what did I mean by it?deathboy

- Trump is a messmoldero

- If Hillary Clinton supporters aren't doing our best no matter the cost, then we're going to see a Trump world. Do you seriously want that?KaitlinMcCarthy
- This video has already been watched over 100,000 times. If 0.0001% of viewers change their vote to Trump, that's 10 votes.nb
- Meanwhile, it's hard to imagine this one person got 10 people to switch to Hillary. So, in a way, it could be a net positive for Trump.nb
- Regardless, when Trump loses in Nov, people will say it's rigged (he told them that's why he's going to lose) and they'll use vids like this as "proof".nb
- But anyway, yeah, I don't know the laws in Nevada, but as a general rule there is no excuse for campaigning in an area that prohibits it.nb
- I mean unless you want to consider the 1st Amendment and point out that the Supreme Court would probably strike down any law that prohibits political speech.nb
- omg, that's probably his mom and they're just fabricating these falsehoods against Hillary supporters. where did you find this, I think you should delete this.KaitlinMcCarthy
