The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption ...

Complete Headline: The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption For Most Of Her Professional Life"

It's popcorn time.

Barely 24 hours after Trump launched his first Hillary attack ad in which he showed a laughing Putin respond to a barking Hillary, and shortly after Hillary's SuperPAC responded in kind with an ad of its own in which it used a Trump quote to mock him, the gloves are officially off, and now that both presidential candidates - both convinced they will face off against each other - are beyond the foreplay stage, the gloves have come off and the direct attacks are escalating rapidly.

So rapidly, in fact, that one may say Trump is risking a potential lawsuit with the following accusation (which, however, should not be too difficult to prove should one of Hillary's SuperPACs sue him for libel).

This is what Trump tweeted moments ago.

Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2016

This is more than your typical political ad hominem - this is a material allegation with legal implications that goes to the core of Hillary's biggest weakness, her trustworthiness or complete lack thereof, and Trump's charges will only escalate from here on out, hopefully with actual examples. We look forward to Hillary's response.

One thing is certain: for the next six months, America will be entertained.

What I love is that every time Trump goes on the offensive (almost daily, hah) it smokes more faux conservative propagandists and pundits out from under their slimy rocks.

Yesterday it was faux conservative writer and TV panel dinosaur, Mona Charon.

I think certain people here will be joining with Occupy Wall St after he wins. Anything to attack our new POTUS Mr. Donald Trump. Scorched earth it will be.

-—And don’t forget, there is a huge amount of money being spent, and much of it on ‘social media’, so it would be VERY SURPRISING if some of that is now being spent here.

It would be very surprising to me if some of it were NOT spent here. Lets be clear, campaigns will try to infiltrate whatever they can. It would be an oddity if the GOP did not have operatives posting on this web site.

Technically this would be true. She was tossed off the Nixon prosecution team for being a liar even before she had a law degree. Tossed off by her OWN people.

You seem to be doing fine on your own.

This is the part of the con that I always find fascinating. The Mark has all of the information he needs to see through the con, but he steadfastly refuses to do so. It is a natural self-defense mechanism, because nobody wants to admit that they were fooled.

We all like to fancy ourselves to be handsome, intelligent, shrewd and in all ways above-average. Getting hoodwinked by a flim-flam man puts a serious dent in the ol’ self-image. People will delay this reckoning as long as possible.

The flim-flam man knows this, of course. In fact, he is counting on it, as con-men always have. It is a story as old as time.

What has allowed you to remain conned all this time by the "principled conservatives" you keep sending to Congress, who haven't done thing one about Odunga? Most of us know who Trump is and we will take great pleasure in watching him destroy this pathetic hallucination that you call conservatism.

See - you can't. The list I started - no one cares. It is irrelevant. Scream yourself hoarse and prove you have no stamina. Go for it.

Try your own list and see if you can do better.

The flim-flam man

What you are looking at in the mirror isn't Trump. It is your own mug. We are on to your pseudo-true-conservative- never-stopped-the-federal-con-game con you are your kind are in on. It's the biggest con going.

From CNN

Here is the quote:

"One of the things I'm going to do if I win... I'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money," Trump said during a rally in Fort Worth, Texas.

"We're going to open up those libel laws so when The New York Times writes a hit piece, which is a total disgrace, or when the Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they're totally protected," he said. "We're going to open up libel laws and we're going to have people sue you like you've never got sued before."

You will not catch me defending Congress and the feckless way they have rolled over since 2011 and let Obama get away with his entire agenda.

However, I will credit them that in the period from 2009 to 2011, not a single Republican voted for any of the big-ticket Obama initiatives, such as Obamacare or the Porkulus packages.
