Psychiatric hospitals filling up with time travellers sent back to kill Donald Trump



Psychiatric facilities across the United States are at breaking point after the number of people claiming to be sent from the future to stop Donald Trump reached epidemic proportions.

New research has shown that every ten minutes someone claiming to the from the future sent back to save humanity is admitted to a hospital somewhere in the US.

Dr Simon Williams told us, “We’re struggling to cope to be honest. We’re constantly booking people in who’ve been arrested before telling police they are on a secret mission from the future, and have to save the world.

“It used to be ‘I’m Napoleon’ – but not any more.

“To say you’ve been sent from the future to stop Donald Trump is a very unusual psychological delusion, especially to be suffered by so many people, with such a similar stated aim.

JUST IN: America Stunned After Polls Conclusively Show CONGRESS Going Blue In 2016

To God's ears...

According to a new poll results put out by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, the majority of American’s that are registered to vote plan to vote in favor of the Democratic party leading Congress.

The Republicans have controlled both the House and the Senate from the 2014 mid-term elections on. During that time they’ve effectively blocked several common sense bills from passing. Everyone would like to blame the president in office for things not getting done but in reality, it’s Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate that wield the majority of the control.

Since taking control of the House and the Senate Republicans have used their majority to block anything proposed by Democrats, for the most part. There is no bipartisan effort and hasn’t been for quite some time. That’s why it’s so important that people get out and vote this election season.

In a national poll of registered voters that was just released by NBC News/Wall Street Journal the majority of American’s polled want the Democratic party to take back the House and the Senate.

There’s still a good 43 percent of those polled that say they want the Republicans to maintain control over Congress after everyone votes in November but 47 percent said that they would like to see Democrats retake both the House and Senate for the first time since 2010, when the tea party helped to propel the GOP towards the majority. /snip http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/08/05/just-in-america-stunned-after-polls-conclusively-show-congress-going-blue-in-2016/

Just because: Trump/Ferengi Rules of acquisition?



Donald Trump pledges to replace Constitution with the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition

The United States Constitution will be modified to include the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, according to a policy document leaked from the Donald Trump campaign.

The news emerged after it became clear Trump’s campaign website would not allow supporters to cancel reoccurring donations, a move covered under Rule 239 as “Never be afraid to mislabel a product”.

Trump, who believes he is running for the position of ‘Grand Nagus’ of the United States, has a personal motto of “A man is only worth the sum of his possessions”, which is his favourite of the rules.

Others of his favourite rules include ‘war is good for business’ and ‘Employees are rungs on the ladder of success – don’t hesitate to step on them’.

Many supporters of Donald Trump already appear to be using at least the first three of the five stages of acquisition – infatuation, obsession, justification, appropriation and resale – to explain backing their candidate.

George Zimmerman reports being punched after talking about Trayvon Martin case at restaurant

/snip

Several witnesses told deputies a slightly different version of events.

Whitmer's wife said Zimmerman approached them while they were eating and said, "Hey, I like your racist tattoos," records show. He then told them about killing Martin "to brag," a report states.

Another witness who was at Whitmer's table said he also asked Zimmerman to leave their table. He said he took issue after "Zimmerman came to his table and proceeded to brag about how he was the one who killed Trayvon Martin," an incident report states.

Zimmerman told the Sentinel he thinks the incident was a miscommunication. He said the man was apparently intoxicated.

Trump: The U.S. should be the world's Mafia and be in the protection racket.

Defying critics, Trump says U.S. might abandon allies attacked by Russia or North Korea

Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton “dumb” on Friday for saying the United States should defend allies under military attack by Russia or North Korea even if they have failed to pay in full for U.S. protection.

The Republican presidential nominee renewed his threat to abandon U.S. allies in Europe and Japan, saying, “You always have to be prepared to walk.”
