Yes, the Internet was a gift sent from above, so that Americans could finally see the truth of how they have been no more than sock puppets, manipulated and deceived.

One of the reasons these people cannot support Trump is because he could open the September 11 file. The truth is some of these Republicans (the Bush family, PNAC members etc} are responsible for executing the destruction of the twin towers & the pentagon (an inside job) not the 19 Arab terrorists.

The U.S. Government is sick to the core. After looking at this list I conclude that there’s no hope for it as it is collapsing from within.

Yes ,and no Trump supporter should vote for ANY Republican down ballot unless they are absolutely sure of their loyalty to Trump \ his issues . Do not be fooled ! Worse ,do not just vote ” straight Republican ” in blind loyalty ,partisan fanaticism ,or fear of ” Liberals “. In the Senate elections ; Toomey of Pennsylvania is a Globalist , International Banker for war ,and huge backer of TTP ,and giving Social Security to his \ Clinton Wall Street backers . He heads the Never Trump group ,Club For Growth . John McCain is no Trump man ,and awful war mongering ,Middle East ” rebel ” backer ,and elitist ,Globalist . Little Marco Rubio is the same ,and supports HB1 visas displacing US workers ! No friend of Trump . The
The entire anti Trump GOP should be defeated ! They WILL NOT ” come around ” but will obstruct Trump if he wins from within ,or keeo control of the party if he looses . Drain the Swamp ,and let Trump ,and his backers ( you and me ) rebuild the party without them !

This kind of explodes the illusion, or dogma, that the US has a two party system and voters have a choice. Trump is running as a third party candidate against both the Democratic and Republican political machines, the entertainment world, virtually the entire media… and it’s amazing that he’s got this far… against the odds.

I agree with Willem, there’s a LOT of 9/11 suspects in that list that aren’t voting for Trump, including the self-admitted war criminal, John McCain.
Wonder why they’re so spooked?
BONUS:
Supposedly, next week’s election results are already available at some American TV stations, in their online material:

List of establishment warmongers and corporate cronies
Also the whole US media except Fox supports her.
How can the liberals or progressives align with Clinton??? Bush the warmonger is a fan!!!
What does that say about today’s Democrats and Republicans???
They are both parties in the 1%
How can they rationalise support for her?
She is the stays quo candidate the more war candidate. The TTIP/ TTP candidate that means shopping jobs overseas. Impoverishing the middle class
Stay at home or vote Jill stein.
I just hope the FBI have the goods on hillary so if ekwcted she will be hamstrung by the court case and won’t bomb Syria or start war with Russia

Here is a brief summary of the usual suspects, enlisted above, depicted in one picture:
http://thesaker.is/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/I-am-with-her.jpg
I would like to say that this long list of names include all the people in the US who will vote for ‘the lesser evil’ on November 8 and no-one else.
But then there is also
Michael Moore
Naomi Klein (if she were American)
Noam Chomsky (if he would live in a swing state)
You know, kind of heroes to me, or so I thought…
I am not American, but if I were I would vote for the alternative option (Stein). Or not vote at all, as George Carlin recommended in his shows.
It’s not funny.
