many are saying that he is a success because he inherited X dollars. Yet no one has any similar criticism for the Kennedys nor Chelsea Clinton.

People are upset for his incendiary words. Yet no one is unhappy with Bernie's call for a revolution.

I thought at the time the guy looked to be military.

Very fit. And not prison weight room “fit”.

Rerunning the same debunked crap is all they have, aside from just plain making sh!t up.

Which seems to be their new strategery

trump tried to take an elderly woman’s house,

Dear cretinous FRiend, I call and raise your despicable slander.

http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/12/26/that-time-when-donald-trump-saved-a-georgia-farm/

It happened in 1986, in the midst of the worst farm crisis since the Great Depression. In Burke County, on Georgia’s eastern border, farm after farm was folding.

On Feb. 4, Lenard Dozier Hill III, a third-generation occupant of his cotton-and-soybean acreage, was about to have his land sold out from under him. ”That morning, it was going to be auctioned off at the courthouse steps, so he committed suicide,” said Betsy Sharp, his daughter.

In the bedroom of the Hill home, along with the .22-caliber rifle that did the work, was a neat stack of life insurance policies and other papers on the nightstand. Hill had intended for the life insurance payout to cover most of his $300,000 debt and so save the family farm for another generation.

It was a grievous miscalculation. Most, if not all, life insurance policies include a clause that prohibits payment in cases of suicide. “He didn’t realize all that,” Sharp said.

Hill’s desperate act struck a chord. Reporters and TV crews descended on the Waynesboro church where the funeral was held. Vandals painted “farmer killer” on the door of the local bank.

Once the family realized the financial futility of Hill’s suicide, the burden of saving the farm fell on his widow, Annabel Hill, a 66-year-old teacher and social worker with gray hair and large glasses.

Argenbright was still at the airport when his assistant called. Someone claiming to be Donald Trump had just rung, offering to help Annabel Hill.

A suspicious Argenbright called the number and demanded proof of identity from the man who answered.

“Herschel Walker works for me,” the voice said. The former University of Georgia running back was the star of the New Jersey Generals, a United States Football League team owned by Trump. That was good enough.

“Well, Mr. Trump, I apologize,” Argenbright said.

Trump wrote that, in a phone call, he twisted the arm of a vice president of the Georgia bank that held the Hill mortgage.

“I said to the guy, ‘You listen to me. If you do foreclose, I’ll bring a lawsuit for murder against you and your bank, on the grounds that you harassed Mrs. Hill’s husband to his death.’ All of a sudden, the banker sounded very nervous and said he’d get right back to me. Sometimes it pays to be a little wild,” Trump wrote.

“I had just graduated from high school. He flew us to New York, and we went to Trump Towers and had breakfast with him,” said Betsy Sharp, who is now 49 and lives in Augusta.

“We saw a whole different side of him that was kindhearted, to reach out to us, to help us,” the daughter said. “Most people don’t know and see that side. All they see is just the ‘blurt’ that people put on the TV. They don’t see the other side of him, and that’s what my family got to experience.”

Betsy Sharp, now the manager of a surgery center in Columbia County, attended a Trump rally in Bluffton, S.C., this summer. But the candidate was rushed, and the two only had time to quickly shake hands. If asked, Sharp said she would be happy to campaign with him.

Her brother, by the way, is Leonard Dozier Hill IV. He still lives on the farm that Donald Trump saved.

If you’re angry and you know it clap your hands...

Ironic that the angry hand-clappers of the 30's in berlin were solid pro-mooselimb.

What do we have, less than ten angry white men out of the literally hundreds of thousands of people that showed up at the rallies?

Some people have no common sense whatsoever.

Foon is a racist. Has a hard time with uppity white boys supporting an politically incorrect candidate. Is Foon an illegal by any chance?

BULL! The black Trumpthug jumped a guy wearing some flag getup, NOT The woman who had the pillowcase on her head and was 2 or 3 people behind the guy that got punched and kicked.

You see the video? The Trumpthug jumped the wrong one who did not have the KKK headdress on.

The Sarge will now be known as Airman Basic, if he doesn’t get a Bad Discharge.

Is Rhee a common name in Korea? I ask because I wonder if the author is a relative of the former president of Korea.

I think he had one on before. There were some photos of the lovely couple before they were hauled out.

Straight up. If you’re out begging for an ass kicking and you get your ass kicked, is it really a crime?

I dislike these damn Soros leftist protesters as much as anyone, but assault is a crime. Even if the protester had on a full KKK outfit, its still a crime to assault someone.

The Sarge is about to find out the Air Force is a lot more severe than he imagined.

If you think its cool to assault someone, then you and the black Sarge say a lot about Trump supporters.

Yes, as I recall they tried to poison a salad bar in a restaurant. I don’t remember the name of the woman who led that caper but they were nailed.
