Scotland is my new favorite country! LOL I may have some extremely distant relatives there.

I love Scotland! Especially the person with the balloon. There's also this http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/i-am-...erm=.xo15nzeDD
Warning, there's a fair bit of creative swearing in there.

So what, he's a clown. He got a lot of press out of it and that is what he wanted. You would have hurt him more if you had just ignored the clown.

No we wouldn't. He can afford to buy the press. Most of the time I think maybe he has.

On Immigration..

On Immigration...

Exactly. Uncontrolled immigration spreads diseases, destroys cultures, and just wreaks havoc in general on native populations.

Welll I'm not sure that the UK could cope with a load of US citizens of British descent repatriating here..

Exactly. Unchecked Imperialism spreads diseases, destroys cultures, and just wreaks havoc in general on native populations.

Fixed that for you.

Fixed that for you.

Actually, it's colonialism. Which is very much a consequence of uncontrolled immigration and is how I see it heading now. Unless you are talking about the Conquistadors. If you were, then I'd bring up ISIS as a modern example of imperialism.

Besides, I'm a Nationalist. If I had my way America would have no soldiers or military installations outside of our borders, unless we are actively combating a direct threat that we have declared war on. Interventionism is one of the reasons that I am fed up with politicians like Hillary, Obama, and Bush. Why I feel we need someone like Trump, or well even a Sanders would do I guess.

How can someone become president and then trample on the constitution? The oath of office states:
""I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Is that not perjury? (Merrium-Webster: the act or crime of knowingly making a false statement (as about a material matter) while under oath or bound by an affirmation...)

Can't tell if this is a troll or a legitimate question with absolutely no context.

When a person aims to trample anything,law is generally the first thing to go. If the intent is to control,then the law or its components become only background chatter to the sound of goose stepping boots already within the halls of your power.

The constitution, like many other written things (the bible comes to mind) is subject to interpretation. Every state has something different going on just like the many denominations based on the bible.

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions.

So, the FBI decided that Hillary Clinton was not a criminal but rather she was an idiot who didn't know enough to handle herself and classified information in a reasonable manner.
OK, I can go along with that. I believe that if any other official had done the same thing they would have been prosecuted but because everyone who sent her emails or received emails from her would have to be charged as complicit in her illegal acts then rather than charging the president and more than half of the congress the FBI decided it was best to let it slide at least for now.
