Anonymous Hacks Donald Trump's Voicemail and Leaks the Messages (betanews.com)
Mark Wilson writes: In the run-up to the presidential election, few days go by when Donald Trump isn't hitting the headlines for something he's said or done. The bombastic billionaire looks set to become the Republican candidate, and his journey towards the White House is littered with offense and controversy, and back in December Anonymous declared war on him. The loose collective of hackers and activist made its declaration after Trump announced plans to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. One of the first strikes in Anonymous' war sees the group hacking the businessman's voicemail and leaking the messages. The messages appear to show that Trump had a surprisingly cosy relationship with the more left-leaning section of the media than one might imagine.
They said exactly what he says in public...
FP!
There is very little "left-leaning" media in the USofA. Most of it would be corporate-leaning.
And they love him because (exactly as he says) he brings in the ratings for them. He's always ready for a friendly interview.
- your hair piece is ready for pickup
- this is Angela from Geico calling to tell you how you can save on car insurance
- you car warranty is about to expire and we want to sell you an extended warranty, even though you only have 2000 miles on the car
- wrong number
- prerecorded political ad
Have they ever done anything worthwhile?
I'll get the pop corn.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
have access to our voice mail without a warrant, this is only fair. Of course those morons will still bitch about it not being fair when it is completely fair.
he's really a nice person! :D
Hmm... No condemnation of bullying...
No condemnation of hacking a system...
It's cool when it happens to non-politically approved persons... Right slashdot?
Morons.
Why report on it if there's nothing juicy? It's like robbing an empty vault and then bragging about it.
Voicemail of a female gets released: It's virtual rape, harassment, gender Shoah!, absolutely horrible, the end of times!
Voicemail of Trump gets released: KEK!
Well, at least we all know what will be in the voicemail: Nothing Trump hasn't said already. To him, it's only more positive self-marketing.
Anonymous wasted their worthless time.
The Donald got caught with a "hot mic" on a commercial break of the Morning Joe talk show on MSNBC, where Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were VERY friendly with him. Hell, it almost like it seemed like they were giving him campaign advice during the chat.
I'd imagine that CNN loves him as well, simply for the ratings boost he's given to the Republican debates.
A lot of people are dead, and no one gives a fuck about that either.
Really? That's all? Where's the smoking gun? Where is the correspondence with David Duke? Where is the message telling him when the next cross-burning is? How about telling him his KKK hood is ready for pickup at the cleaners? Where are the messages from the international bankers telling him to keep going? Are there any alien space bats? Where's the outrage? That's the best they could do?
A charismatic man is making relationships with less intelligent journalists (though I repeat myself) so that he can take advantage of them later? What, exactly, were we expecting?
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
He was a nutjob that offed himself.
Too bad it wasn't the NY Times interview where he allegedly says that he's telling everyone what they want to hear to get elected.
Everyone who votes for him says he speaks his mind. The jokes on them, because he speaks _their_ mind, which is why they support him.
Bullshit reporting from Mark Wilson. He just stole a Gawker story and slapped the "Anonymous" tag on top of it. Gawker said it was just a random group of pranksters. Nice reporting Wilson... you're worse than a Pakistani blogger
He is a solid democrat, but has recently been playing the caricature of what democrats think republicans are. He's been earning votes despite this, not because of it. The reason people like him is because he's not a career politician. When he gets elected, he'll show his rear end and declare himself a democrat again.
Anonymous didn't do this.... read the Gawker story... it was just some 4Chan users
It's "hate", because the Jew says so...
What's wrong with muslims staying in their OWN countries? Not enough 'infidels' to kill there? Have you nothing against Islam?
Then you have nothing against stoning, amputations, flogging, female genital mutilation, suicide bombers, beheadings, "honour" killings, repression of free speech, abolition of Parliament and its replacement with Shariah, banning of music, banning of beer and wine, banning of pork, dressing women in burkhas, beating of wives, multiple wives, killing of rape victims, persecution of Jews and Christians, child brides, repression of reason and questioning, islamic police states, burning of churches, killing anyone who leaves islam, killing anyone who questions the teachings of islam, total intolerance of other religions, inferior status of women, violent Jihad against non-muslims, arranged marriages, acid attacks, public hangings, mutilations, rewriting of history, denial of islamic atrocities...
Islam... in layman's terms
Here's how it works:
As long as the Muslim population remains under 2% in any given country, they will, for the most part, be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- 0.6% Muslim
Australia -- 1.5% Muslim
Canada -- 1.9% Muslim
China -- 1.8% Muslim
Italy -- 1.5% Muslim
Norway -- 1.8% Muslim
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize to other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from prisons and street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark -- 2% Muslim
Germany -- 3.7% Muslim
United Kingdom -- 2.7% Muslim
Spain -- 4% Muslim
Thailand -- 4.6% Muslim
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France -- 8% Muslim
Philippines -- 5% Muslim
Sweden -- 5% Muslim
Switzerland -- 4.3% Muslim
The Netherlands -- 5.5% Muslim
Trinidad & Tobago -- 5.8% Muslim
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Shari'ah, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Shari'ah law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana -- 10% Muslim
India -- 13.4% Muslim
Israel -- 16% Muslim
Kenya -- 10% Muslim
Russia -- 15% Muslim
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, as in:
Ethiopia -- 32.8% Muslim
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, as in:
Bosnia -- 40% Muslim
Chad -- 53.1% Muslim
Lebanon -- 59.7% Muslim
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Shariah Law as a weapon, and jizya, the tax placed on infidels (yes, there really is such a thing) as in:
Albania -- 70% Muslim
Malaysia -- 60.4% Muslim
Qatar -- 77.5% Muslim
Sudan -- 70% Muslim
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some state-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, as has been experienced and in some
Don't listen to just me, several studies and reports have said what I'm about to say, including an Ivy league school. The US has become almost text book fascism as defined by Mussolini. Meaning, you can not separate regulators from Corporations because the regulators work for the corporations. Regulatory capture has occurred in every sector of the economy. It is really easy to see, but you have to at least glance at it.
Main stream media simply works for those same interests. Again, it's easy to see if you care to look. "Money" and "Ratings" are a byproduct of the control the establishment has over the people using media.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
Trump is really in a conspiracy with Hillary so that he'll get the Republican nomination & then lose the election, ensuring Hillary's presidency
Who, unlike Trump, is sane and has actual policy positions and ethics he's demonstrated for 30 years.
And what's with this asinine claims of "christ"? that's SATAN who has deluded you. Know why all those other predictions of the second coming have been so wrong? SATAN deluded them. Just like he's deluding you.
So that you won't clean up your act or care about anything because SATAN has convinced you that the world will end, so why bother.
And so you will die having done nothing except trash the planet you were given and listen to the lies of the lord of deception.
You are going to be SERIOUSLY fucked.
Hello America!
I'm Italian, pizza spaghetti & poor english, so don't grammar nazi me, please.
I'll go straight to the point.
Thank you all for Donald Trump, I mean it: thank you from the bottom of my heart.
For two decades, wherever I went, everyone who was not italian that I met around the world asked me a question, and I felt silently ashamed facing that simple question: "Why Berlusconi?".
Everywhere.
Italian? Why Berlusconi?
Even in Argentina, in a small gas station in the middle of nothing in Patagonia, a place without Internet, without sat channels, without newspapers: "Italianos? Berlusconi! Las fiestas con las ninas!".
That was awful.
Now, with Donald Trump you will receive from us the Olympic Torch of political silliness, you will rewrite THAT question, you will set us free, at last. Worldwide.
God bless America.

Mastering the English language is fucking easy: all you have to do is to put an f* word in every fucking sentence.
not anonymous, lol, the idiot reporter from betanews can't even copy-paste a gawker article properly? what a dumbass
Kasich obviously can't win the nomination outright via the primaries. 99.5% chance Rubio can't either. What they CAN do is stash enough delegates to deny Trump the majority he needs to become the automatic nominee. When Kasich and probably Rubio drop out after the first convention vote, their delegates become free to vote for anyone else. That'll be the agreed non-Trump nominee. That's why they are still getting big-money donations and other support - because by dividing up the delegates four ways, Trump can't get a strict majority and the convention will be free to choose someone other than Trump. That's also why Ben Carson SUSPENDED his campaign rather than ended it- suspending means he can still select a few anti-Trump delegates. Most if not all of the drop outs suspended for that reason, and also if they had campaign debt.
If they all dropped out and supported Cruz NOW, Cruz might win 48% to Trumps 52%. By offering four primary candidates, hopefully Trump will get less than 50%, then at the convention the anti-Trump delegates (the majority) will choose the nominee.
> Vice President will then take over as Acting President.
There was a big fight about that in 1841. John Tyler insisted that he was President, his political opponents insisted that he was merely Acting President. He refused to open the letters they sent him, addressed to Acting President. Tyler won the fight. He was President.
Later, the 25th Amendment removed all doubt. The 25th begins with these words:
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Pfffff.. Just another publicity stunt to keep the gawkers rubbernecking and their jaws hanging slack, instead of talking about real issues.
You do realize that Bruce Jenner and Chuck Norris only have a 9 year age difference.
Also, Buce Jenner WON THE OLYMPIC DECATHLON. Is there a manlier thing to do?
And, according to the movie "Repo Man (1984)", which I have no reason to doubt, "John Wayne was a fag".
John Wayne, Lee Marvin, and Clint Eastwood-- men who pretended to be men. Bruce Jenner-- a woman who pretended to be a man and destroyed every man on the planet with her effort.
Based on a quick read, it sounds like it comes out well for him, like, messages thanking him for giving money to charities, that kind of thing.
Why would anonymous leak this? 50% chance he leaked it himself and pretended it was anonymous.
i'm so sick of anonymous. they may have strong opinions, but the US election is an internal matter. we'll sort it out ourselves. butt out.
Perhaps you would like to share that point of view with your current government which seems intent on telling Britain how it should vote in the upcoming EU referendum.
Quite frankly, I am baffled by people worried about what the world will think of America with Donald Trump as president. George W. Bush was president only 8 years ago. How will Donald Trump be a worse, and more embarrassing president than George W. Bush???? He sounded stupid. He used the weasel word WMD, which can mean chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons, justifying Iraq invasion. Some chemical weapons were found, so technically he was correct. Bush later justified invasion of Iraq as 'spreading democracy'. He tried to appoint an acquaintance to the Supreme Court. The leadership failed to do good negotiations on price with Halliburton.
For two decades, wherever I went, everyone who was not italian that I met around the world asked me a question, and I felt silently ashamed facing that simple question: "Why Berlusconi?".
True story:
I was vacationing in Bulgaria in the early 'aughts, was chatting people up on the street and almost got mugged *twice* because I was American (and specifically because of Bush).
I went right back to the hotel and told my GF: "From now on, we are Canadian. If anyone asks, we're from Canada!"
Didn't have any problem after that.
Love Bulgaria, the people are nice, but don't tell them you're American...
and here's why. He's moving the country to the Left. Our country has gotten to the point where there's Far Right Wing, Really Far Right Wing and Ted Cruz. Assuming (as Bernie said) you realize words like "Socialism" and "Welfare" have meaning and aren't just things to be afraid of then this is a good thing.
Yes, Trump's a jerk. But he's also the only Candidate besides Bernie Sanders who thinks healthcare (not just "affordable" healthcare) is a right. Yes, he's said some racist things, but he's also said them out loud instead of dog whistling.
I'll take Trump over Rubio any day of the week. Rubio's the kind of guy who'd stab me in the gut, twist the knife and then smile; saying it's nothing personal, just business. If Trump's gonna stab me in the gut it's because he hates them. I can deal with Trumps Hate. Rubio's cold hearted unlimited greed? Not so much.

The photograph illustrating the linked article was inadvertently taken from our science story. It is actually a computer aided reconstitution of a supposed profile from an early homo habilis which has been recently discovered and nicknamed "Donald". We would like to apologize for this unfortunate substitution.
The VMs that SHOUKD be hacked are the GOPers VMs. Mitch "Turtleman" McConnell, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, etc. Break up that "good Ol' boy" crew of decades upon decades of hate, bigotry, racism...
Trump is saying no more than he says publicly. The reason that the GOP is so vehemently going after Trump, is because they cannot buy Trump; Trump doesn't need any of their money and would most likely get half of their old tails out of office - they are scared to death.
Hilary will "play ball" like any politician - but she cannot blow-up the GOP establishment - Trump can... Personally, I would prefer Bernie, but the DNC already had it planned for Hillary to be the nominee - she feels "entitled" at this point. Hilary is not going to make any dramatic changes to this country - she will "play ball" and look out for her own special interests, just as the GOP will. Hillary has a price tag and so do the GOP boys - Trump does not.
One. Must decide what is more beneficial for the country:
1) Elect Hillary and have a "democratic" president who will simply continue to play in the cat turd sandbox with the GOP and bicker.
2) Elect Trump and completely fracture the GOP - most likely causing a 3rd party to evolve (which is what we need). We may never get another chance to create a multi-party system again and blow up the GOP.
Do I think Trump has said some heinous things? Yes. Do I think that he truly wil follow through? No. Trump chose the GOP base because he can easily acquire the ignorant, poor, white constituents with hate speech - they are gullible. He needs their votes - that's all. A Bernie/Trump ticket would actually be the best flip for this country - it would be nice if they considered this. America is sick of the two parties - and the families who run this country like a dictatorship. America needs a clean slate and we will NOT get that with any of those truly in the GOP party, nor from those truly in the Dem party. Quite frankly, Bernie and The Donald, together, could very well give this country the complete overhaul that it needs.

Debian is a portmanteau of Debra (his ex wife) and Ian (him).
Hmmm... do you think that the fact that your life's work and the thing that you are best known for, Debian, also reminds you every day of your failed marriage might start to prey on your mind just a little bit?
so trump thinks muslims are dangerous, hes probably right, and anonymous attacks him because of it...
that puts anonymous on the same side as most terrorists that hate usa... of course there are other terrorists around the world that have other agendas, but now the muslim terrorists and anonymous terrorists are buddies. awesome. why dont you assholes just go to syria or something and sign up for desert anal sex like the rest of the terrorists.
or at least hack all the other candidates stuff so we can see everyones dirt to be fair...
This is the stuff from which party breakups are made. It would be much harder for Republicans to oust Clinton in 2020 if thereâ(TM)s no longer any unified Republican coalition to speak of. They HAVE to embrace the Trumpmeister or risk losing their voter base.
What they will do is block Hilary's every move (just like Obama) if she is President. This way, they can set up a republican platform for 2020 - but hope like hell that Trump will not run as an Independent - big gamble for the Turtle Men either way...
There are three things that can explain a huge amount of the attitudes and thoughts of the GOP: 1) Cognitive dissonance, 2) Denial and projection, and 3) The DunningÂÂKruger Effect.
According to polls, though, if Hillary dropped out (perhaps because she was in jail) and it became a race between Bernie and any GOP person including Trump, Bernie would win. He's the least unfavorable candidate according to polls; lots of people despise Trump (on both sides), and lots of people despise Hillary (on both sides). Almost no one despises Bernie; they can't even come up with any real dirt on him. They can say stupid stuff about "socialism", they can say his policies won't work, they can say completely idiotic things about 90% tax rates (betraying a complete lack of understanding of marginal rates and also his actual policies), they can complain about his age (even though he's only 5 years older than Trump and 6 older than Hillary who's had a lot of health problems), but no one really *despises* him like they do all the other candidates. The other GOP candidates aren't as unliked, but they're not liked either: everyone thinks Cruz is a liar and a religious nut, and that Rubio is a robot and in the pocket of the establishment.
Until the French revolution happens. The problem is that the poor get poorer (debt and ladder rungs get further apart) and rich get richer (rent seeking while not producing anything of value). You're painting the rich elite as some technocratic power with decent foresight, but they're far from it.
Their power is more or less emergent, this whole system is and at some point it implodes under the weight of the monetary tragedy of the commons - you get two piles of money - mountain of debt, mountain of assets/savings and the two mountains not interacting in economy at all. Everything grinds to a halt.
Soon after, food shortages, infrastructure breakdown, the poor do a peasant revolt and string of revolutions until society resets into more equal state - after a lot of bloodshed. Then, after a while, rinse repeat.
Perhaps the time of french revolution is closer than we think.
Because he was murdered by the San Francisco Police Department, and they are covering it up.
Some of the leaked VMs show something scandals.... he donates to children’s charities!
Funny how no one is running with that story.
People are attacking Trump since he represents an existential threat to the status quo, especially when it comes to him speaking about the painful truth.
Expect things to be made up, taken out of context, and otherwise used to smear Trump and his supporters.
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
There is very little "left-leaning" media in the USofA. Most of it would be corporate-leaning.
If it's willing to sympathize with professional victims and smear their critics, it's not exactly corporate-leaning in the traditional sense.
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
Hopefully, not this time. We throw away enough food to feed the whole world. It is possible that taxpayer-funded poor-assistance programs will be sufficient to prevent the violence.
Given the kinds of weaponry that exist today, that did not exist during prior revolutions, I really think the angry mobs of poor people will wind up on the losing end. The notion that they can't kill us all really isn't true anymore. They absolutely can kill us all.
As labor-automation continues to eliminate the need for cheap labor, the teeming masses of poor people wind up with fewer and fewer opportunities to earn a living....so....eventually we will either violently reduce the numbers of the poor back to workable levels, or we will somehow stop them from breeding as we provide for their needs. Either way...the transition to a largely labor-free economy will be very turbulent.
In the modern day-and-age, to believe that either party is actually better than the other is negligently ignorant. The struggle between them is a distraction, which has proven supremely effective in preventing the people from unifying their voice on the issues that harmfully impact them.
Those who get caught up in that bullshit are enablers that keep the evil aspects of government powerful.
Of course....the only real way to effect positive political change is to donate money to a lobby. Most Americans will have absolutely none of THAT!
So, you think that we should read gawker if we want the truth? Because they're so fair and unbiased?
Oh my sides!

Give me a fuckng break. Bruce Jenner is a fucking nutcase along with every other man who wants to be a woman. People applaud him for his courage. I'd punch him in the fucking face.
In 2008, Democrats broke into Sarah Palin's personal e-mail and circulated all her mail in the internet while Democrat news outlets like the NYT encouraged their readers to "crow-source" the hunt for "dirt". The guy who did the actual hack is now a convicted criminal, and all the critics quietly dropped the "scoop" when they realized there was NOTHING corrupt in her personal e-mails (which she had written with an expectation of privacy). Did the NYT lift a finger to get at Hillary's e-mails? Nah, they did not even do the basic journalism to know that those e-mails even EXISTED because if they HAD they would have discovered the server issue. Did they crowd-source the hunt for dirt on Hillary??? Nope.
In 2012, Democrat Harry Reid publicly asserted that he knew the IRS was aware that Mitt Romney had not been paying his taxes. This would have either been slander, or a criminal access to IRS records (depending on if the charges were true) but Harry Reid knew what most of the public did not: that he could not be prosecuted for either offense if he did it on the Floor of the Senate while the Senate was in session.
Incidentally, most progressives pretend to be against spying on other people, but then appear to be all-in-favor when it's against somebody they HATE. Situational ethics at their worst.
Want proof? Look out the window? Do you think that stuff just made itself in all its perfection???? NO! I DID IT.
That's PROOF I'm god.
The Media, the Political Insiders, and so-called "good will" organizations like the EFF and Anonymous, all form what we all have come to refer to as "the Establishment."
These people control everything through lies, deceit, and manipulation. They create the illusion of conflict, get people to take sides, and of course there is a convenient organization on each side to accept money from the proletariat to wage their battle for them.
The goal of this system is singular: to keep people in conflict, and keep them in poverty.
Trump represents an existential threat to this system, so The Establishment, which includes Anonymous (which in all reality is likely just a group of various government employees on their routine mission), will do anything to take him down.
And that's without your last GOP idiot having spend trillions on a war that wasn't warranted in the least and trillions more bailed out because your government under libertarian rhetoric removed regulations on banks.
And since the only ones with money are the wealthy, and you cut the taxes for the wealthy, and the wealthy aren't fucking SPENDING the money but hoarding or lending out (which gets them a net positive return, so is worse than just salting the money away in a vault for the money supply movement), your average figures are completely worthless. And getting worse.
And what's the cry? "They waste all that money, give them less!".
Yet still demand all those services. Cut military spending to 1/10th. Save trillions. You will whine like holy hell.
Anonymous was dismantled a couple years back, so now they are almost certainly a government operation.

Trump has a cozy relationship with the media? A public media figure has a cozy relationship with the media. Trump plays the news media like a fidlle. Great work anonymous.
Mod the fuck up.
I hax0red a voicmeail i am l337. huh huh huh hu! So lame.
Trump is running against right-wing purists. The media doesn't get along with them. Oh, and BTW, there is very little right-wing media. Oh, you mean corporate media? Right, so basically, any media outlet that makes money including Gawker. Oh, wait, you mean internet media which is so well known for facts. But I digress. IMHO, Trump's strategy is quite effective. He talks to the people he needs to get results. He's not the type of person who says, "I won the election. They're going to have to shut up and do whatever I want."
But there is something that a lot of people are missing. Lots of people think he's the next Hitler or Mussolini. Those people really don't understand how our system of government works. If Trump wins in November (and assuming that Republicans retain control of Congress which may not be the case), it's safe to say that he doesn't have majority support in Congress so why would you think that they're just going to go along with everything Trump wants to do? Contrary to popular belief, POTUS doesn't make the law. POTUS is mainly a manager. Most presidents have done nothing but expand the unelected part of government. My guess is that Trump will fire a whole lot of unelected dead weight and he's the only candidate who will have no qualms about doing so. Is that a bad thing?
Bigot.
Sure, the uneducated give up votes for the best lie and can't measure up front. Sure, the best politicians are the best liars. Sure, money is power so the wealthy exert power in all possible ways. While those things are true, it's also true that revolutions are rarely driven by the uneducated and easily fooled. Revolutions come from the educated middle class. People who are smart enough to see the game, and not quite oppressed enough to be ignorant. These same people are often overlooked and underestimated by the people trying to hoard power.
The founding of the US was not some peasant uprising, it was an educated bunch who wanted to hammer down the top. The French revolutions were much the same, each time led by a different set of intellects. I will say that the Brits are a bit better at relinquishing enough to the masses to stay in power, but the uprisings in Scotland, Ireland, and even the Colonies, were all led by an educated middle.
This is a game of momentum, and at present we are not too far from tipping into a revolt. The people holding power know it and are doing everything they can to maintain control. "Bread and Circuses" can be seen all over, from the current political race to programs like the Obama Phone program. The desire to disarm the populace falls into the exact same reasoning.
I don't own a crystal ball to say when, or even if, something will happen. I will say that when society gets to the point the US is at today, it usually takes something very small to push people into an all out revolt..
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
Lots of BS here- everybody has an opinion about the opinion of everybody else.
Where is the text of the hacked documents so I can look at them and make an informed opinion.
Any ideas?
Dave Miller
Yet you're paraphrasing. Do you have a link to the transcript of that comment? I should think you'd have actually quoted what he said. I mean, it's Trump. There's a gazillion things wrong with him. There are countless reasons that people have to not want him to be the president. Some of them are even good reasons. It should be easy to find that quote - and, again, Google's not finding anything using those terms.

Why would anonymous go after Trump? I get that he is a Republican. But Kasich is the candidate who is still in the race and who is still the absolute worst on tech issues. He is openly for forcing tech companies to be slaves of the government and do its bidding when it comes to protecting their customers. If it were up to him, he'd effectively give the government agencies the monkey wrench as the best tool for dealing with encryption (beat em with a monkey wrench until they talk). In fact, even though I am a registered Republican, I would donate money to whoever runs against Kasich in any election (including the next time he runs for governor).
Any guest worker system is indistinguishable from indentured servitude.
This is stupid.
Under the Consitution, the Congressional branch is the most powerful, and can certainly stall either a Sanders or Trump.
However, the President controls the Dept of Justice, so can bring significant charges against the banking and medical industries. Imagine an SEC that actually does it's job. Ditto w/ the Dept of Treasury. A President should be able to cause significant disruption for the Federal Reserve.
Were either Sanders or Trump to win, to me the greatest threats are assassination and removal from office by the Senate. Impeachment by the House is almost a given.
People are attacking Trump since he represents an existential threat to the status quo, especially when it comes to him speaking the painful truth.
Expect things to be made up, taken out of context, and otherwise used to smear Trump and his supporters.

Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
You mean like this?

Because he got divorced in 2008 and divorce is the number one contributor to suicide?
Debian is a portmanteau of Debra (his ex wife) and Ian (him).
Hmmm... do you think that the fact that your life's work and the thing that you are best known for, Debian, also reminds you every day of your failed marriage might start to prey on your mind just a little bit?
Plus he moved to San Francisco a month before. That stinking shit-hole of a city didn't help in the least. SF's good days are a memory now. The "smart people" (ha) just don't know it.
Her effort? Having your testicles removed and your penis mutilated does not make a man a woman.
Yeah. Men are men and women are women just like God created.
And don't tell me about all sorts of weird things that happen in biology during prenatal development that mess up with the clear God-ordained dichotomy. Things like chimeras or all kinds of sinful intersexual thingamobies. I won't listen. No, I really won't. LAA-LAA-LAA-LAA! See, you can't penetrate my armor of faith! LAA-LAA-LAA!
It could never last forever.
"Honestly, it's at least the same size as anyone else. Probably bigger. No definitely bigger! Come down next weekend and you can measure it. Actually, make that tomorrow. Screw that, let me know your mobile number and I'll send you a picture I took next to a quarter."
Why should we celebrate mental illness?
Because apparently humans can do great things such as win olympic medals, invent the computer (Turing), tell great stories (first Matrix), and all sorts of other stuff despite what society (or you and 3 mods in this case) thinks of their mental state.
People are attacking Trump since he represents an existential threat to the status quo, which is not a free country, especially when it comes to him speaking the painful truth.

I never mentioned or implied supernatural creation had anything to do with it. This guy was not born this way. He chose to have it done to him.
I don't question their deeds. Those are great accomplishments.
Look at it this way: If he wanted to cut off any other part of his body, we'd look in askance. Since it's his penis and gonads we're supposed to cheer on the 'diversity'? Sorry, but I smell a bit of an agenda here...or at least the possibility of one.
I suppose it wouldn't be bigotry if he wanted to cut something else off instead of his penis and gonads?
Let me first say that I'm not a fan of Trump. However, it's disingenuous to claim that he "wants to ban Muslims from entering the US". This Politifact article gives some more details.
Examine even your most deeply held beliefs. Nobody is always right.
