So uh.... remember how people accused Donald Trump of affiliating with the KKK because David Duke endorsed him?
Well... turns out, David Duke is endorsing Keith Ellison.

Unless Keith condemns his endorsement, I have a feeling that the Democratic Party will face their repercussions sooner than expected...
TrusTED did say the democratic party is a party of racists.

Well, he should repudiate the KKK guy but my first instinct to be honest would be that there is some intention of trolling here. I mean, the guy is black, anti second amendment and a muslim. He should be by any logic a KKK nightmare. A few articles suggested duke was implying keith to be an anti-semite though which if true would be perfectly in line with the KKK but even then the situation would be incredibly weird.

What...? This is nothing but trolling. Notice how nobody but conservative websites bother reporting on this, given that he endorsed Trump. And keep in mind that the tweet says nothing about him ENDORSING anyone, he listed Ellison and some others as "good choices for the DNC", which is obvious misdirection. Why would he be actually looking out for the DNC in an earnest way?

I mean, there are enough reasons to not want the DNC to go in this direction, the opinion of a white nationalist means nothing. It's absurd. Unless of course he endorses a white guy and then the media feels compelled to ask for yet another repudiation. :BlahBlah

Lying TrusTED is right, Democratic Party is a party of racists just as much as the Republican Party is one.

Keith did made some Anti-Semitic comments back when he was with the Nation of Islam, but he did admit it was a mistaken moment in his life.

Now that you've mentioned it, WND, Washington Times, and Daily Caller are the only known sources that reported it. Welp, looks like I've fallen for their bait Fake News Alternative Facts.
But the "Good choices for the DNC" would definitely make a lot of sense.

Yeah, it's a bit of a slant really, "fake news" or not.

People are more aware of it now because it became a buzzword. But it's existed since social media became prominent.

Surprising SNL is actually improving on the new Anti-Trump episodes.

You got the gist of it. Not only Trump, but the republicans as whole are incompetent idiots. They most likely would be happy with making USA worse just to get what they want.

I don't get why no one is even suggesting impeaching Trump for discussing classified stuff openly....

After the leaked executive orders that never came/come to pass I take any leak with a grain of salt.
You do well, any leak from the left or from the right should be taken with a grain of salt, without substance to back it up.

And looks like Jonh managed to trigger Jones, for real this time, that thumbnail is too savage:gwah:pogchamp:

It is as bad as it sounds. And hilarious if you think about what fuss people made about clinton's private emails.

His body language suggest otherwise.

Search for body language on youtube, you will be surprised, it´s incredible how much you can learn if you focus on the details, a guy can have during a conversation, there´s also a lot of other stuff to it as well like figuring out, a person´s moral code, lying mechanics and how they interact with their bodies, etc...

Anyway, be suspicious if trump starts not moving his body (especially his arms, in some way shape or form), while he´s speaking, because thats a sign something´s up.

Not that Trump is a good liar anyway:XD

Trump has done plenty wrong. If Obama was in the same shoes, you'd cry about Obama not keeping classified discussions private, going on golfing outings every weekend, and forcing citizens to pay for his wife to live somewhere else.

I am not going to let kitchen psychology from youtube taint my mind.
And no. Flat out no. You cannot tell if a person is lying just by that. Even if youtube people suggest you that.
If that were a thing, fighting crime would be a lot easier. But even lie detector tests are faulty.

And trump is a liar if i ever saw one. An incompetent liar.
I would be fine if he was lying but making good policy, but he doesnt.
He is stupid, incompetent and does not even try to actually do something for the american people.

It´s not only coming out of youtube though:

"Law enforcement
Body language has seen use in the area of law enforcement. The relevance of body language in this area can be seen in the numerous Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Law Enforcement Bulletins that have included it in their articles. The application of body language in law enforcement goes both ways. Members of law enforcement can use body language to catch unspoken clues by suspects or even victims, this enables a more calculated and more comprehensive judgement of people. The other side of body language is that of the investigators' themselves. The body language of the members of law enforcement might influence the accuracy of eyewitness accounts."

That depends on how much skill one has over it and how much the one being read, can lie, without being caught, thats why I mentioned previously on the "moral code" and there´s also that whole belief system thing, eitherway, if people are into that sort of stuff anyone would have a hard time reading them.

Thats the logic, behind it, of course you can just deny it all you want, but it doesnt make it any less true.

Also it´s not just done by that, but there´s also importance being given to the words that are said in conjuction with the body language, if one could read another person so easily then, it wouldnt make any fucking sense. And dont expect 100% accuracy either there will be always key factors that the reader wont figure out completely especially more specified reasoning for the most part, but at least it´s possible to know something´s up right off the bat and how much serious or not it´s.

And wasnt a exemple of this sort of stuff already showcased in some other thread before (and there nobody called it BS)? I think I will leave that up in the air for now and go to bed.:music

Look, i do not say that body language cannot give any clues about a person.
But you thinking trump is not wrong because kitchen psychology about bodylanguage is a very questionable thing to say.

Body language is a highly personal thing and only works with averages.

For example, many people do not look others straight into the eye when they are lying or give themselves away with other clues.
That does not hold true tho for a natural liar, who has incorporated lying into his personality (speaking from experience here, i lie when i open my mouth).

Trump is a person who lies since his whole life, it can be proven that more than half of his statements are flat out wrong or at least not completely true.
His bodylanguage can be as it wants: Trump is a liar and the things he does are mostly deconstructive or flat out desastrous.
