When you're flying about in your massive jet you can decide who's a buffoon.

Different than your tastes obviously. Buffoon maybe not so much.

It also helps to spell buffoon correctly as you judge the ability of others.
Well okay, I'll just stick to my usual moniker for Trump: DOG ****!

Many of those examples are painfully clear. He is anti-women, anti-muslim, anti-mexican, anti-lgbt and anti-minority.

And the huffington post is anti white male, anti family, anti gender roles, and anti-masculinity

oh,

looking up the meaning of the word 'conservative' might provide a clue

Really? I thought most conservatives had businesses and were ambitious self starters who work for a living and liberals just leech off them and government benefits...

Im pretty sure its Republicans who are traditionally portrayed as the intelligent business men.

I never see liberals as garbage men or construction workers but they sure do flock to media related jobs.

Thats taken out of context, he's not actually mocking that guys handicap.

Your whole premise is false through and through.

Trump got his start from daddy, because he was born into the family. Tim Cook, other the other hand, was carefully chosen by Steve Jobs. Steve could have picked anyone to hand Apple over to, he had time (he didn't die unexpectedly from a heart attack or plane crash, yet he knew he was dying and needed to plan for a replacement), near infinite amounts of money, and no lack of available talent, and he carefully chose Tim Cook and groomed him for the position. He could have said, "nope, I don't like the way Tim is turning out, I'm going with one of alternate choices", but he didn't - Steve wanted Tim to take over the reins at Apple.

(There's a lot of folks on this forum who rail against Tim Cook and an bemoan the loss of Steve Jobs - I miss Steve too, but remember that Tim is the person that Steve wanted running Apple - Tim is one of Steve's most successful products. You can't very well say, "everything Steve did was wonderful and perfect - oh, except for picking Tim to run Apple.")


No, I don't see it, because I have a brain and understand consequences, and the long view. By your logic, followed to its conclusion, we ought to declare war right now on every country that doesn't share our standards for human rights, and immediately bomb them into oblivion, or maybe just threaten to bomb them, unless they immediately change their policies. All or nothing, everything is black and white, right?

But that doesn't work. Apple is working to make the changes that it can. Despite folks in this thread comparing Tim Cook to a plantation owner for using Chinese labor, Apple is doing more than any other western company to raise the standards for working conditions in Chinese factories. Apple is even auditing the practices of the companies they are dealing with, and coercing the companies to treat their workers better. And yet people who can't read beyond sensationalist headlines (or who have their own axes to grind) call Apple slave masters.

Consider also that Apple is working feverishly to make their security unbreakable; they'e not opening it up to the FBI, and they won't be opening it up to totalitarian regimes and dictatorships either. Yes, they're selling phones into countries that have questionable human rights practices. Phones with unbreakable encryption. Those regimes won't be able to listen in on their citizen's conversations. Giving those citizens more freedom. I'm not sure this is such a bad thing.

You missed my point. They inherited empires , they did not built them.

Second point, glad you have a brain, I'd recommend looking the definition of hypocrisy, and a few examples, after which you might understand my point. Nothing silly about forcing our will one others....by going to war etc, silly .

sometimes we need to listen to markerting less , and form our own opinions from the knowledge available to us, using our brains. Wisdom comes with time. If you believe the iPhone is unbreakable , that is naive, Even after FBI disclosed they got access to one, other exploits have or will be found in the future, that is the nature of security.
 
Are you happy with the current administration? Are you happy with Obama and his policies ? Cause it will only be the same song and dance with Hillary.
I'm happy with much of what President Obama has done, and has tried to do. I'm furious with the GOP-gridlocked congress that has made a policy of blocking every single thing he's tried to do EVEN WHEN IT INVOLVES IDEAS THEY WERE THE FIRST ONES TO PROMOTE. They have worked tirelessly from the moment he was elected to make him look bad. And this is not conspiracy theory - there are Republican legislators on record saying this is their policy.

I suppose I will break rule of ignoring white supermisists just temporarily so I can post this:

There is absolutely no reason for him to be throwing his hands around like that except as a mocking gesture. Oh, and if you say that he wasn't aware that the man is disabled, be aware that all you're doing then calling your own candidate an idiot.

There is no reason for Apple to be getting involved in anything political. Just stay out of it damn it.
So.....if all the tech companies stay out of politics, how do they add up and keep track of things at the convention, pen and paper? An abacus? What?

yup

Because the guy lied apparently and trying act like he never said something that was written down while trump was holding the article the guy wrote in his hand.

Trump was mocking a faceless liar. Then later people were like, that guy actually is like that.

How is it trumps fault he doesn't know what every random reporter on earth looks like.

I'm not a white supremacist but you're definately a white supressor-ist. Talk about cheap tactics you keep spamming a picture of a disabled person to try to make Trump look bad but you just come across as exploitative.

Ah yes, because Trump later claimed he didn't know what the guy looked like, we can completely ignore the fact that he's clearly gesturing in a way that mocks the man's disability.:rolleyes:

It's not clear. It was actually quite vague. Trump does a lot of physical actions like that all the time.

Acting dumb or playing dumb, that's what it looks like. It's a coincidence more than anything.

It's a non story.
 
I'm not sure who's worse, but I have no issues taking my chances with Trump. Hillary is just plain ****ing evil. Do the research

I've read quite a bit about the Clintons. I wouldn't call them evil, but they are, yeah, morally flexible, if I want to slap a euphemism on it. Hillary and Bill both have been embroiled in hinky goings-in for decades now, and have been called out on just about every single a bit of it. They're a cutthroat couple of people.
 
Not only that but those things are bogus, fallacies like comparing everything to Hitler etc.

Even the disabled thing is more examples of bogus criticisms. Trump had no idea what that reporter looked like.




"Mr Trump flailed his arms while referring to an article about the 9/11 attacks by Serge Kovaleski, who has a congenital joint condition.

But the politician insisted he did not know what the reporter looked like.

He tweeted that he simply was "showing a person grovelling to take back a statement made long ago".

"I have no idea who Serge Kovaleski is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence," he said in a statement.

"I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago.

"I have tremendous respect for people who are physically challenged and have spent tens of thousands of dollars throughout buildings all over the world on making them handicapped accessible and ADA (American Disability Act) compliant."

He also accused the New York Times of being "dishonest" and "trying to make a story out of nothing"."




Yet here people are, intellectually dishonest, bringing it up like its a valid criticism against Trump when its already been explained and debunked. The story of this election and the reason Trump will win in a landslide.
I had btw strongly suspected that 'handicapped person/Trump' side-by-side was an out of context 'quote'.

There definitely appears to be a smear-Trump campaign underway within the media. Unflattering poses of Trump seem to pop up everywhere and everything he does or says is spun negatively, while Hillary largely is projected as 'the voice of reason' and seems to get a free pass. While it's time consuming for us to personally verify all that is claimed by either side, we are somehow expected to make our own judgements about 'fitness for office'. Perhaps for fact checking we are mostly at the mercy of the media which would tinge our opinion with the media's bias.

Common sense would dictate the truth lies somewhere in between. So it comes down to which candidate has the ability, and can be trusted, to deliver a new approach since what we have had so far clearly does't seem to be working. One thing seems certain, the rhetoric and false accusations on both sides will be unprecedented, and we'll have our hands full sorting fact from fiction.

Ah, so as Renzatic said: "I'm pretty sure that suspiciously on-point imitation was totally an accident."
