(135,425 posts)I glanced so you don't have to--the coverage over at that Reichbart, errrrr, Breitbart site of El-Gindy is nothing short of FAWNING. The brown-nosing is OBVIOUS.

(11,816 posts)That Donald is in it with Hillary to throw the race. I simply can't explain making mistakes like this otherwise.
Seriously. I was vetted up left right and center for a fucking MARKET RESEARCH job with a little tiny consultancy. You're telling me that Mr. "Billionaire" can't even dig up the fact that his new right hand man is a wife-beater, voter felon and whore for an Egyptian businessman and former MP?

(3,056 posts)He just doesn't give a rat's ass because he has placed himself above all the rules and regulations that the rest of us follow. I think we all know that's why he hasn't released his tax returns or real medical records. Well, that and his tax returns will undoubtedly show that he's nowhere near as wealthy as he claims to be, and that he's Putin's bitch, as well as owing his soul to China's premier, Li Keqiang. Don't want to even consider what his real health records have to say, considering that weird skin color of his.

(3,056 posts)I'll bet you spend as much time as I do screaming at the TV set as the talking heads NEVER bring this up! She (actually all Democratic women) have always been held to a higher standard. I have yet to hear a commentator, while constantly bringing up Hillary's numbers on being "untrustworthy", even mention the fact that The Donald lies egregiously almost every time he opens his mouth. I never hear them say that according to Politifact, she is the most honest person on the campaign trail this year, including Bernie. They never, ever try to knock down the bullshit that's flying around out there about her, and never, ever bring up Trump's outright lies about everything. I don't even hear it on MSNBC all that much.
I think this sums it up...a few weeks ago I heard a network executive being interviewed. I forget which network, but it was one of the big 3, MSM. He said Donald Trump may be bad for the country, but he's great for ratings.
What consequences has Trump suffered for being a total screw up? He's been sued, fined, and filed bankruptcy several times, but he is still rich, and he won the nomination of the GOP. It is either a conspiracy that the whole GOP establishment was in on, or it is just par for the course for a man who hasn't had to give a care about consequences his entire life. I go for the latter.

(22,665 posts)Some reporters need to escalate these stories up the chain to the nightly news or headlines for all to see. The number of foreigners with troubling backgrounds is not only scary, but poses as a double standard, simply because it's not getting air-time as a made up HRC scandal...or unscandal! The hypocrisy is numbing!
Report on Drumpf's sleazy connections with foreigners. Get on it M$M!!!
