Breaking: Barack Obama's Muslim-American brother endorses Donald Trump for president

To Rojo\'s question: the opinion of Obama\'s brother is irrelevant to the question of Trump\'s fitness for office. President Carter had an alcoholic brother who hung around a gas station, and if he were still alive, he might have also voted for Trump. If Obama\'s brother is a Muslim and intends to vote for Trump, he\'s crazy, and plenty of accomplished men have brothers who are crazy.

The story of Trump\'s draft status brings to mind two items: first, I was born in 1953, and a high school classmate of mine, also born in 1953, had the misfortune of having his birthdate show up No. 1 in the draft lottery. My friend was as straight as they come and would surely have served if required. He had some back problems when we ran together in high school. He was called for a Selective Service physical, and he honestly answered he had a back problem. He was sent to an orthopedic doctor for further evaluation. The orthoped X-rayed him, and showed my friend the X-Ray and the cause of his problem The doctor then took the form from Selective Service and asked my friend if he wanted to serve in the Army. Momentarily stunned, my friend said he\'d prefer to finish college. The doctor completed the paperwork, and several weeks later, my friend got a letter from Selective Service saying he wasn\'t physically fit to serve.

Donald Trump was born in 1946. I haven\'t researched it, but I\'m quite certain men born in 1946 were not subject to a draft lottery. My recollection was the draft lottery didn\'t go into effect for those born before around 1951. If he said he did not serve because of his draft lottery number, I strongly suspect he\'s lying, but I don\'t know that for certain. If his explanation isn\'t correct, I can assure you it\'s not a mistake. All of us from that era remember our draft status.

I don't understand how Michelle Obama can be praised for saying "don't let anyone tell you America isn't great" and Hillary has a quote a couple days later saying "We'll fix it together"

Which is it libs? It can't be both

Of course you don't

Rojo: "I'm simply trying to present both sides of an issue to get people to think."

No Rojo, you're not. You present a garden-variety sibling rivalry as if it's anything different from Ray & Dave Davies, Jimmy & Billy Carter, or Eppie and Pauline Lederer. What you're really trying to do is legitimize a radically self-centered clown, not to mention a fascist. Someone with no sense of the common good, who routinely praises Vladimir Putin (who really should be your target, instead of Salazar or Rupp, since he's the #1 nemesis of fair sport, the #1 practitioner of doping.) Putin insinuated himself into Boris Yeltsin's hopeful (if drunken and flawed) democratic movement and turned it into an anti-gay, religious kleptocracy. I guess you and your brother call yourselves journalists, but 58 have been murdered in Russia since Putin took control. Trump says Putin is stronger than Obama, simply because Putin has been able to crush those elements of resistance to his control. What is it, Rojo, that you want exactly? Your parent's received ideology of separation from the proletariat and no taxes? Or a viable and just world and fair sport? Or maybe you're enough of nihilist that this whole thread is click-bait. If Trump wins, the routine gun-massacres of innocent Americans in public (in elementary schools, in churches, in movie theaters, in gay clubs) will continue unhindered, and the Supreme Court will be stacked with ideologues who will shut down any action on Climate Change until it is too late. (Next time you're Africa, checking out the Kenyan or Ethiopian trials or whatever, you should really let them know your opinions on how climatologists are bunch of leftist radicals trying to ruin Capitalism.) For Africans, Climate Change is an existential threat of the highest order. There has already been one tribal resource genocide in Africa (the slaughter in Darfur.) There will likely be more in the years to come (as Europe floods with Climate refugees.)

Last night you're ripping down political threads because "there are too many" and now you post this?

I hope you don't wonder why you aren't seen as a real journalist. I honestly have to wonder how many drinks you've had when you begin posting political stuff on your 'running' site.

Exactly! Spot-On! Bingo!

An alcoholic ex-runner and right-wing internet bloviator.

You can just tell him to delete ALL political threads…except for yours.

Yea.

Go Ivy League.

The De-Colonization issue is now front and center due to Sanders and Stein voters.

+100000000

Rojo thinks that, within the context of the United State Presidential campaign, comparing a US Citizen of the Muslim faith whose son died while fighting to defend this country to a foreigner who only very remotely is connected to Obama is reasonable. And that is demonstrates some political counterpoint or equivalence. Truly moronic!

Please explain, because I'd like to know. As of right now I'm voting third party, maybe this will change my mind

Hillary is a gangster, and anyone who believes a word she says is brain-dead

Trump is just a greedy rich guy, pretty bad too but not a mass murderer and global robber baron like her

Maybe OK.

The Donald Trump is really bad, and is also a mass murderer and gobal robber.

Why won't he release his income tax forms to show everyone how much money he is making, how rich he is, and how much he is paying in taxes?

(It might show how little money he is making, how he is not as rich as he says, and how little he is paying in taxes.)

El Donaldo Trumpo Ridiculoâ„¢

(He also yells all the time. Do you see that he is a big annoyance?)

In East Africa, Islam meant the Muslim slave trade for hundreds of years, straight up the Indian Ocean from Zanzibar. So, even if Islam did thereby get a foothold and is probably increasing in popularity now, I wouldn't think there would be much love in East Africa for the Middle East.

Rojo, what is your response to the fact that Donald Trump was a draft dodger who refused to serve his country, and then he denigrated John McCain, an American war hero?

I'm simply trying to present both sides of an issue to get people to think. One of the problems with the world in 2016 is you can go your entire day with only getting the news you want to hear. Dems have CNN and Huffington, GOP has Drudge and Fox.

At LetsRun.com you get both sides. Hence I've put to threads on the front page.

This one "Hillary fans: Respond to fact that Barack Obama's Muslim-American brother says he's voting for Donald Trump"

and

the other

"Trump fans: Respond to fact Khizr Kahn, muslim father who lost his son in Iraq, ripped Trump at DNC"

You can vote for whomever you please.

Like.

Nope. The mainstream media has buried this.

Rojo, what the hell difference does it make if Obama's half bother likes Trump?

Is there some rule that half-brothers of presidents need to vote for the candidate that represents the same party as the outgoing president? Is Malik Obama some big player in the Democratic party?

Laura Bush is voting for Hillary -- is that a problem? Should we start a thread about that?

He also says his idol is Muammar Gaddafi. That should tell you all you need to know about Trump.

Voting in the presidency is not about who you elect, its about who you shouldn't elect. Trump is an ass.

So Barack Hussein Obama's family turns out to be Muslim. But according to leftists it was a conspiracy to suggest that Obama was Muslim himself.
