I really have no words for this level of ignorance. He also still hasn't explained what things 'that are a whole lot worse than waterboarding' he would bring back.

Not sure what kind of consensus would be required to change the geneva conventions, but he would certainly meet a whole lot of resistance. Although the conventions aren't particularily well enforced anyway, from what I know.

So... there's an election fraud hearing in Arizona that I hear was quite heated?

Apparently...

Putin is laughing because his vote-rigging is so much more sophisticated than ours.

Trump wants to outlaw abortion, and put women who have had an abortion in prison, he said in an interview with MSNBC

Hillary Clinton responded by saying that a person so woman unfriendly as Trump should not be allowed anywhere near the White House.

A bit later Trump, realizing the damage he did with the female American voters, he adjusted his statement, and said that not the women, but the doctor performing abortions should be put in prison.

I really hope he doesn't get elected, because I don't want war with the US. I mean, Trump'll start torturing, be captured and brought to the ICC in the Hague, and then the US will have to invade the Netherlands to free him :P

He does anyway. Force of habit, I guess.

I've referenced this song so many times when talking with friends (on this particular topic). :P

Ah, but you see, the Hague as well as all the rest of Europe will be but a smoking ruined military district of the AmeroRussoSino Tri-Dominion once Trump is elected.

Didn't they all swear an oath to support the nominee?
Note that all the not-Trump ones quickly followed this with "and Trump won't be the nominee"

So basically they all said they would support anyone but Trump.

What I've heard is that this was a misquote following something of a setup question designed specifically to make him look bad.

Though admittedly his general pro-life stance is one of the things I'm not too thrilled about.

Yeah, the question he was responding to was "If abortion was illegal, should women be punished for it?"

Trump gets himself into that mess with a refusal to actually state a position on a simple yes/no question.

"I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things"

His very good brain doesn't help him when it comes to answering the clear implications of previous things he's said.
