So it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Barack Obama

Trump didn't start the conversation. The targets are different but the intent is the same. Marginalizing a group of people for political gain.

The whole point of my quoting Vienna's post was to point out that there are moral hypocrites on both sides. Do you agree?

Frustrating when the foundation funds run low, and you don't have enough to pay off the coroner too.

Yeah, the conspiracy grows!

Multiple news sources ( not Fox news) confirm unusual broken bones in Epstein's neck....more consistent with homicide than suicide...

Guards (plural) "asleep" when Epstein's death occurred in a facility that had only seen one suicide in 40 years...

Guards falsified records....

Epstein's lawyers say he was upbeat about getting a deal in exchange for his testimony...

Hmmm... Sure it could be suicide. But it could as easily be a hit job. I would think if it was a hit, it won't be easy to keep it covered up.

Two very concerned Islamic ladies were refused to enter Israel after they threw plenty of mud at it and demanded a boycott against it. They just cannot understand why the victim of their smearing campaign just does not ignore their deeds and nevertheless welcomes them at much shorter throwing distance.

True ... No way you can hide this one ... The one I can't understand is Epstein's attorneys requesting that their client be taken off suicide watch. Looks like they would want him to stay alive in order to keep getting paid.

I'm beginning to think if was indeed a hit job it could just have been via deliberate neglect. He wanted to kill himself anyways so instead of murdering him they just substituted a real sheet in place of the paper ones normally issued and gave him the opportunity to use it. Possibly with a few off the record comments about his immediate future as a jail house punk to put an edge on his motivation.

Some days ago I heard on the news about some investigation into his suicide.

I'm not a fan of conspiracy, but I couldn't help thinking.

Will this investigation be a controlled version, which mean the outcome is known ?

Comment from the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) why Europe probably will face a grim wakeup when hoping that the US will return to cosy old ways if Democrats would win next elections. As a matter of fact the US already started to turn away from Europe under Obama. And its getting tired to serve as the global police man and defender of world liberty and democracy.

And with healf-hearted allies like Europeans, who could be angry at them...?

About a week ago it was big news here in Denmark.

Then it was said it wasn't exactly true

and some say it is.

I don't care if it's true or not whether Trump want to buy Greenland or not.

Not a new idea. I believe the Truman administration actually made an offer for Greenland after WW2.

mapuc · 08-21-19, 11:25 AM

I had planned to post a comment on Mr. Trumps bad behavior, after his briefing outside his Airforce 1.

Where he suddenly said-Maybe I will visit Denmark or don't I haven't decided yet.

Then late last night he posted a Tweet where he had cancelled his visit in Denmark.

He had a standing invitation from The Danish Queen and he had invited himself.

But because he couldn't buy Greenland he's not interested in a visit.

As mentioned before I have a neutral standpoint when it comes to the President of USA.
I have difficulty to keep a neutral standpoint when it comes to his acting as a person, especially in this case

No need to stay neutral here. Trump is an imbecile, a childish narcissist, and a clueless but nevertheless dangerous incendiarist.

Well, says you anyways.

If they would build a Trieste III to explore the lowest lows below the known lows of social behaviour, Trump would be first choice as captain of it.
