Beware of dirty tricks...

Last edited Tue Jul 26, 2016, 02:53 PM - Edit history (1)

We know, from experience, just what some Republicans are capable of. Remember Watergate?

With the likes of Paul Manafort and Donald Trump, one must watch them at all times, as if they were card sharks.

I would not jump to any conclusions about these emails nor would I assume that all those "demonstrators" are really "Bernie supporters".

Also, has anyone seen that ghost writer, Meredith? Is she hid away with "John Miller"? They are very, very deceitful.

I grew up hearing "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see." With today's technologies, like Photoshop and cgi, even "only half of what you see" might be way too much.

I would not put it past the Trump people to send out their minions, in "disguise", to stir things up.

I lived in Philadelphia, and remember how, as in any big city, the heat reflecting off of all of that concrete could make life outside of air conditioning pretty uncomfortable. And it looks like the heat will be pretty brutal in Philadelphia, this week.

My just working out in the gardens in this heat absolutely flattens me, after an hour or so and I'm very relaxed. I can't imagine being agitated while standing on cement, in the sun, with no quick shady spots for relief.

Drink lots of water and stay indoors for a few days. I am headed home from a road trip from Kansas City to San Antonio...I have seen the heat. It was 106 in Wichita last Friday!

Only low 90's today, so, there is relief in sight.

Cucumbers, honey dew, cantaloupe, watermelon!! They help keep your body temp down while helping to hydrate and give you electrolytes. We are having exceptional heat in my area and I eat these every day when I get too hot as a preventive measure but when I wait too long I eat them as a remedy. Try it, you'll feel better even if you have to be outside longer than you should.

Agree that dirty tricks are not above Trump and team, but these emails are what they are, no conclusion needed.

And since it appears hacking is perfectly OK we should find someone to do it.

Suppose all your emails were exposed? That'd be OK right? Not because you think there is nothing damaging, since anyone could find something to twist into something damaging.

He did play that trick once before with the "Miller" guy. He tried to deceive the media. Of course, that might not be so difficult to do nowadays?

but don't know who they are.

tRump was asked about her and he got her name wrong when he was answering.

I don't expect any media work on this other than to tell us to move along...nothing here

What potentially damaging to Clinton information could they possibly have up their sleeves?

Surely, none.
