Trump may not donate to charity, but he's donated to a LOT of people in congress.

the mainstream media is way too nice/easy on the Republicans. Krugman talks a bunch about this, how Paul Ryan gets to be "Mr. Fiscal Responsible", when he is a complete buffoon. It is the need to constantly say "I wish they would all just work together".. the endless false equivalency, the notion that both sides always have to be equally wrong. One side is bat **** insane.

Good article covering a business insider article about trump's rise courtesy of the right-wing media

Quote:

Darcy argues that Republican elites encouraged conservative voters to embrace alternative, hard-line right-wing media outlets — which made them powerless when those outlets turned on them by backing Trump.

The best words, words you wouldn't even think of. He's trying to reach the word count requirement and just keeps repeating the same stuff. When you say a lot of stuff about a thing it makes you seem smart because you are saying a lot of stuff about the thing you are talking about.

It's like that Calvin & Hobbes strip where Calvin does a report on bats.

so like, legally he can say he saw on tv that she had a concussion years ago, but the implication is that he knows her physician personally and therefore, as doctors, they trade inside secret knowledge of HILLARY'S HEALTH, and he just felt like breaking his ethics again this time for nbc news cameras.

so this doctor is a guy who is a nut or panders to nuts, exactly the kind of guy donald should love

Yeah if he actually knows anything non-public then he just broke HIPAA

But he is likely playing word games...he has met her physician (at a conference) and he also knows some of her health history from what is public...

On trump's refusal to prepare for the debates

Guy wants to be the leader of the free world, won't even do his homework to get the job.

His cult of personality is so strong he actually believes in himself

amazing. this is so pro wrestling to me, so much drama leading up to the big bout.

my favorite quote from trump's Art Of The Deal cowriter in the above article,

“Trump has severe attention problems and simply cannot take in complex information — he will be unable to practice for these debates,” said Mr. Schwartz, who was the subject of a New Yorker profile last month that portrayed Mr. Trump as a charlatan. “Trump will bring nothing but his bluster to the debates. He’ll use sixth-grade language, he will repeat himself many times, he won’t complete sentences, and he won’t say anything of substance.”

He's done a good job of capturing the Brent Spiner in Independence Day look. Also kind of looks like a philosophy prof I had who could only just make it to a 10 am class in a conscious state.

You ain't seen nuthin yet. Wait till the Donald eviscerates Hillary in the debates.

Hell, he doesn't even need to do any preparation to take her out. She's got so many weak points, the only difficult part will be deciding where to start.

It's gonna be brutal. Mass libtard freakout guaranteed.

IANAL, but I think that the doctor that told Trump's doctor the info (if that actually happened) is the one that broke HIPAA. If Trump's doctor has no doctor/patient relationship with Hilary then I don't think it's possible for him to break HIPAA w.r.t. Hillary even if he discloses what he knows.

Agree this is the most likely scenario.
