Donald Trump is the only candidate that is not a treasonous vehicle for the diabolical plans of world bankers and other elites.

If Trump is not elected they will put their plots of global enslavent into the final stages. Everyone but the elites will live under martial law in prison like communist mega slums while they play golf and worship satan in the countryside.

Everyone will in the end be hunted down for microchip inplants. Refuse, this gives you soul to the devil.

Jesus Christ will return soon on the day of wreckoning.

In the meantime,
Make America Great Again

Amazing…this person is from Massachusetts, one of the bluest states in the nation. My suggestion would be to take off your tinfoil hat long enough to relocate to a remote mountain shack in one of the following areas: West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, East Tennessee or Northern Georgia. I've been to each of those places so trust me, you'll fit right in. If you go to WV or KY, you could also learn how to handle rattlesnakes as well. You'll feel a lot more at home than in civilized Massachusetts.

A "wreckoning" is exactly what would happen with a President Trump. A chill just went up my spine typing "President Trump."

Hahahaha seriously. He would "wreckon" the living bajeesus out of everything, even worse than Bush did! Only a neanderthal could even entertain the idea of such a man holding any public office, let alone POTUS! I am so disheartened to see even one person support him...but then, I guess that has to do with having false expectations, like expecting everyone to have at least an IQ of 95!

Jeb will get the republican nomination via voter fraud abetted by the establishment (just like his broseph), but will lose the main fight. Because BERNIE. Mark my words.

I live in Florida and I don't think it will be Jeb. He's a has been thanks to now long-dead Governor Lawton Chiles. Here is the transcript from Hardball with Chris Matthews:

Let me finish tonight with the He-Coon who changed history.
Maybe you saw the news today that former President George H.W. Bush apparently wants his son Jeb to run for president in 2016. It’s news because his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush, seemed tothrow cold water on that idea a while back when she said, “We’ve had enough Bushes.”
But his son, Neil Bush, is now saying, “If you asked Dad the same question ‘Should Jeb run?’ he’d say yes.”
And if you listen to those who know the family, you know why George H.W. Bush might feel this way. Because of all his sons, it’s supposed to be Jeb–and not George W.–who the old man always saw as his political heir, the one who would take his place on the political stage.
And 20 years ago, it looked like that was about to happen.
Bush Sr. had lost to Bill Clinton in 1992 and immediately stepped out of the spotlight and into a quiet retirement. Then Jeb stepped up in 1994 to run for governor of Florida. Florida was a redder state back then and ‘94 was shaping up as a brutal year for Democrats. Plus, the incumbent Democrat of Florida–a man named Lawton Chiles–was pretty unpopular. So Jeb was supposed to win, polls put him ahead, and once he won that race he’d be on his way to the national stage just like his father wanted.
And that’s where the He-Coon comes in. The He-what? Well, I don’t know if you remember Lawton Chiles or if you remember this moment from the November 1, 1994 debate, but it changed history:
“My mama told me, “sticks and stones will break my bones,” but names will never hurt me. But let me tell you one other thing about the old liberal. The old He-Coon walks just before the light of day.”
​
When Lawton Chiles said that, Jeb Bush stood there looking confused. He had no idea what Chiles was talking about. But a certain type of native Floridian did. The He-Coon is a character of old, rural Florida lore, the wisest member of a pack of raccoons.
And Lawton Chiles was one of those old-time Floridians. He liked to brag that he spoke “cracker.” And for the rest of that campaign, he traveled around Florida calling himself the He-Coon and forging a cultural connection with voters who were a lot more familiar with the way Lawton Chiles carried himself then the way Jeb Bush did.
And when election night came, there was a surprise in Florida. Even as a Republican landslide swept across the country, Jeb Bush lost in a squeaker to Lawton Chiles. The He-Coon pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year.
There was another surprise that same election, a few hundred miles away in Texas where Democratic Governor Ann Richards, whose personal favorable rating was still at 60%, was upset by George W. Bush–Jeb’s older brother, the son that George H.W. Bush hadn’t figured as his political heir.
And so it was Texas Governor George W. Bush who then got to spend the rest of the ’90s building a national profile and readying a run for president in 2000 while Jeb stayed in Florida to mend fences and take another shot at the governor’s office. And he did end up winning it in 1998, but by then he’d been lapped by his brother.
The rest, of course, is history: the disaster of W’s presidency, the tarnish to the Bush name, the sense that maybe the country’s had enough Bushes… But apparently the old man is still holding out for Jeb–and wondering how differently it all might have played out if it wasn’t for that pesky He-Coon.
 
Good points. But Diebold voting machines care not for He-Coons and tarnished names.

I just don't see any of the other clowns getting the Republican nomination, but I'm probably overestimating the intelligence and cognitive decision making skills of the republican electorate. It certainly won't be Trump. So if not Jeb, who does that leave for the R-nomination? All that remains is a rogue's gallery of half-evolved, hardly-popular dimwits.

I still don't think it will be Jeb. While he was governor, I could have never conceived of myself ever saying this, but he actually sounds like a relatively (word used very loosely) reasonable human being compared to those other crazies. The wackos have hijacked the party. Honestly, this will be interesting. They're each so bad in their own way I can't even begin to predict who will be the nominee. I think Marco Rubio may have the best chance because he is fairly articulate (if he can manage to not awkwardly reach for a glass of water), young and good looking and Hispanics, at least in Florida, tend to vote for their own.
 
In the UK we are being told Rubio will win the R nomination.

So feel free Trumpio to run as an Indy.

Leaving the way free for OMFG Hillary.

You read it here first.
 
wait the "wreckening" is coming!?!?! holy shit! I want to make a monster truck rally called that.

I just hope whoever is president bumbles and makes a lot of gaffes. I like those. It is pretty much the only thing coming out of politics in the states that can even be construed as significant these days. In fact I want to see Ted Cruz get elected president on a platform of "the wreckening is comin'"

Rubio is a tool. His record of showing up to vote on issues that effect his state is abysmal.

I'm still hoping they put a none of the above choice on the ballot.

That article doesn't say that debt is slowing compared to previous decades, only that it is slowing relative to the period 2008-13, which was the third fastest expansion in recent history.

It was probably a mistake to post the article, as that's all that seems to have stuck, rather than the point I was trying to make, that national debt is synonymous with public debt and doesn't include privately held debt.

This is the only point I was trying to make aside from the slowdown in federal spending.
 
I think bluelight has enough members to make their own independent party. I'd donate a few bucks to that if it would get some of the ideas talked about on this website out there for the masses.
 
Follow the bluelight, or remain in the dark

Then we could merge the endeavor with all of the other drug boards and organizations and form a coalition lobby of hundreds of thousands. If all of us donate $10, surely we could buy our very own Senator, or at the very least a few members of the House :P

There is already a party that espouses most of our beliefs. It's the Libertarian Party. Since it was a foregone conclusion that Obama was going to win with or without Florida, for the first time in many years I voted my conscience and voted for Gov. Gary Johnson. And I certainly wasn't going to vote for Mitt the Twit. Rather than fantasizing about some pipe dream, give money and convince people to get on board with Libertarianism. If enough people understand there are other options other than Republican or Democrat, third parties can finally be a political force.

By the way, Rand Paul is not a real libertarian. He's pro-life and beholden to the religious right.
 
American "libertarianism" is not even approaching a close approximation of what real like libertarianism is supposed to be. Its all laissez-faire economics. I want the large corporations and billionaires paying their fair share in taxes, thankyouverymuch.

I could deal with a flat consumption tax. You buy more and expensive shit, you pay more in taxes. I don't make all that much money and I'm pretty frugal so my taxes are going to be low. If Mitt the Twit decides to buy a yacht to the tune of several million dollars, he's going to pay a shit ton of tax. If a business decides to provide some expensive material perk to its CEO, they pay a shit ton of tax. No loopholes, no bullshit.

To Rand Paul's credit, he is for "more rehabilitation and less incarceration," but his positions on other issues are entirely unpalatable.
 
So my brother is a Diesel mechanic and I stop by his shop. I sit there and BS with two mexican co workers of his and they are the most die hard trump supporters and it floored me. This is the first time I feel like he truly has a shot. I asked them "dont you think he is racist" they say "every land has laws and they should be followed". These guys are cool ass guys I go shooting with and are constantly ragging on cops for "shooting brown people" and are pretty normal mexican american. I am shocked and now thinking if others think like them we might have a Trump in office.
 
^I bet they were probably rapists or killers.

Seriously tho, we're entertained by Trump, that's what he is, an entertainer. If we're going to seal the deal and usher in a fascist Trump regime, (the American Nazi Party even told him to tone it down a notch) then that's what we deserve. His numbers will dwindle by the start of the real election cycle when the opening act draws to a close.

Or it will be a Democratic landslide as a result.

I hope to God you are right, but it's difficult to dismiss him when he has a double digit lead over most of his rivals for the Repuglican nomination and beats Hillary in a head to head matchup in current polling.
