That shows he listens to his advisors and isn't totally wrapped up in his own actions. What is a joke?

In the last year, I feel that I've grown a lot in maturity when it comes to politics. I love reading viewpoints on both sides of the coin. I try to be the most neutral and unbiased man I can, so I can have the most learned and knowledgeable view point. I have several conservative journals that I frequent (Canadian Rebel Media, [Dave] Rubin Report, and American Daily Wire), but I struggle with finding an news source on the left that isn't blatantly biased. Of course the three I listed have their biases but everything does and compared to journals like Huffington Post, Fox News, MSNBC, nearly everything Australian, CNN, Breitbart, InfoWars etc; they are relatively unbiased. Does anyone have suggestions, most journals are just echo-chambers that only serve their own agenda. It is tiring being told that as an immigrant I should fear Trump, but also as a white man I should be ashamed of myself. I don't want to be told what to believe, I want to be presented with facts to make my own opinion. If we have to use labels, personally, just a few years ago I would describe myself a hard-leftie. Welfare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, feminism, the whole nine yards before it became the 'cool thing to be'. Upon reflection I have discovered many things about myself, maybe that'll change in the future. For now, I consider myself a libertarian somewhat, with social leanings that go both right and left. Economically I feel I am more of a righty. I have yet to read a debate to convince me on pro-choice. I cannot within myself see a point that after a sperm meets and egg that the fetus is not human. It's is not a fully developed human but nonetheless, it can only be seen as the genesis of humanity. I cannot morally justify to myself that killing that fetus at any point is okay, unless of very specific circumstances. How can we as humans arbitrarily draw a line that defines human life? Consciousness? What of the man that is in a coma? Is a born infant truly aware of itself? "My body, my choice"? Is it actually your body, or another human's simply inside your own? I can understand the rationale behind many women's choices to kill the fetus but I cannot abide by someone that does such an action out of convenience.

That isn't the establishment that is being referred to. The political establishment not the wealthy. Cliton is a career politician and has worked for the government for over thirty years, that is the 'establishment' they refer to, not the noble upper class.

I dislike Bernie Sanders. Socialism isn't something I agree with. How has Trump threatened your family? It isn't just Mexicans or immigrants, it is "ILLEGALS". The reason why the crime rater is lower is because of the fear of deportation, not because they are necessarily better citizens. I immigrated to American using a legal method. It was expensive and it drained me financially to the point I'm still in debt. I reject the notion of illegal immigration as it circumvents what I struggled to achieve. The reason more there are more terrible Americans than terrible Mexicans living in American is because there is around 350+ million more Americans. People think just because I'm white, I somehow had it easier getting into this country, I had to go through all the same paper work, the same bureaucracy, as many legal Mexican, South African, Canadian, Englishman, Somali and Indian. You also cannot deny the thriving gun and drug trade that exists due to Mexico and immigrated Latino organised crime. 29% of all Hispanic voters chose Trump. It's not the fact that she had emails. You miss the point entirely, how can a nation trust a woman that under oath lied about it all. How can America trust a woman that has been funded by Saudis? How can America trust a woman that has been knee-deep in political scandals and corruption for over thirty years? How can American trust a woman that supports gay marriage when eight year ago she stated that 'marriage is between men and women'? How can America trust a woman that knowingly defended a child rapist and used character assassination tactics against a twelve-year old girl? How can America trust a woman that sold uranium to Iran? How can America trust a 'champion of women's rights' when she has openly threatened Bill's lovers? How can America trust a woman that has been involved in various scandals concerning racism towards Black Americans and Latinos? It isn't about that Trump is a better politician, it's because nobody can trust Clinton, this goes far, far beyond a simple scandal concerning the safe storage of confidential information. This is about trust and the American public cannot trust Clinton, they may not particularly like Trump but they see him as at least somewhat more genuine. Do you know what Clinton and her cabinet thinks about Latinos? You're nothing but 'needy Latinos', another demographic to manipulate. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6777 You think, no you know Trump is evil but just because he is, doesn't mean the opposing team is good. She doesn't care about you, she doesn't care about your people, but she does care about your vote.

Well, the first statement is a partial truth. There are some terrible things coming from Mexico. Of course, some outstanding people also are immigrating.

'There is no emoji for this'. - That is my favourite tweet concerning the election. A pulsating truth that the English language is slowly morphing into an Orwellian Newspeak. God forbid, a person expresses their opinion with words.

The media has been forcing feeding Clinton's landslide victory for weeks and that is why she lost. Why would Clinton supporters wait in line for twenty minutes if their nominee is a shoe-in? 'My state is blue, I don't have to vote'.

Your post is also what is wrong with this election, as it's exactly the same as Fernando's. Your post is applicable if you reverse the names Clinton and Trump.

You know what fuck abortion debates, it is a divisive non-issue that riles people up into two camps blinding them of the other issues. Abortion policies are a complete non-issue in the grand scheme of things

If I could vote, I'd withhold my vote because I cannot morally justify participating in an election between two evils. To vote for one or the other would be a betrayal to myself. That being said, I do see Trump as the lesser of two evils. It's just a shame that Trump has smashed the Republican Party to pieces while the corruption of the Democrats goes deeper than ever. This election more than ever should wake at least some Americans up to the failures of the two-party system.

The main difference is that Trump is a politically naive narcissist, Clinton is a politically corrupt narcissist, and Obama is a narcissist celebrity. You know how wound up in himself Obama is? He criticised Trump for 'hanging out with celebrities too much', fucking Obama said that. The man that curtailed tradition and set up a White House meeting with the reigning World Series champions, the Chicago Cubs. Why? Because it's Obama and he needs that spotlight.

It's so refreshing to see a manager come from down in the dumps to this high. As Chelsea fans we don't ever get to see this vindication!
