Quote:Trump: Americans could be tried in Guantánamo
Quote:A President Donald Trump might push for Americans accused of terrorism to be tried in a military tribunal at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the Republican nominee told the Miami Herald on Thursday.
“I would say they could be tried there, that would be fine,” Trump said in a brief interview ahead of his speech to home builders in Miami Beach.
Except....

Would water boarding of Americans be permitted or required?

Apparently required.

"I don't think it's tough enough," Trump says of waterboarding.
Perhaps he should be forced to undergo it? Make him confess to being Putin's stooge.

Waterboarding and nukes could become olympic sports if the Donald is elected. Did you know that, Captain Aweshucks?

There is no equivalency here. Drumpf is insane.

Quote:In remarks with strong racial overtones, Donald Trump told a mainly white rural crowd in Pennsylvania on Friday that vote fraud could cheat him out of victory and vowed to dispatch police who support him to monitor polls in "certain parts" of the state.
He vowed to "dispatch police?" Who does he think he is? More important, does he think this is a banana republic?

Hillary can cause wars, but at least she isn't willingly trying to cause the third world war, unlike Trump. But with recent polls I think it is pretty clear Trump has no chance in hell of winning, even his own supporters are giving up on him

The article in your link to "speech to home builders" in Miami Beach is a little - shall we say - skeptical of Grump and the garbage he spews Nice to see these reporters aren't unquestioningly fawning over what he says.

Yes, I think he does. It's clear that his understanding of the Constitution and the powers of the separate branches of government is somewhere south of "didn't pay attention in middle school civics class". It speaks volumes about those 'patriots' who support him and their understanding of government that they don't even blush when he displays such ignorance of how things work.
