Trump Organization Owns More Than 3,600 Domain Names, Many of Which Bash Trump (go.com)

With the presidential election just days away, research firm DomainIQ decided to track down the number of domains registered under Donald Trump's organization and Hillary Clinton's campaign. They found that the Trump Organization owns more than 3,600 web addresses, including names of his properties, products and progeny, as well as Trump-bashing names. Some of the domains registered under the Trump Organization include donaldtrumpsucks.com, no2trump.com, trumpmustgo.com and two dozen others that appear to be bashing the billionaire Republican presidential nominee. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's campaign owns 70 domains, but none of them appear to bash Clinton. ABC News reports: There are 274 domains alone featuring the name of Trump's daughter Ivanka. And then there are the ones that seem better suited for the anti-Trump crowd: eight domains ending in "scheme," eight ending in "fraud" and eight ending in "sucks." Cable giant Comcast owns ihatecomcast.com, and Verizon holds verizonsucks.com. Colleges have made a habit of buying up versions of their names ending in .xxx to prevent them from falling into the hands of pornographers, and Major League Baseball has registered the names of various teams ending in .sex. Hillary Clinton's campaign owns 70, according to DomainIQ, though none appear to be the kind of derogatory names Trump has registered. Her family's foundation owns 214 domains, including four ending in .xxx.

This is common

Most companies do this to prevent the domains from being used against them.

So, what's the story here? Is this just another pathetic attempt to smear Trump and praise Hillary? Trying to distract from the FBI investigation regarding the 650000 emails found on Weiner's laptop?

Quite the opposite

He's not obsessed with his daughter - he has just seen how sickeningly obsessed liberals are with prominent Republican families, like bashing children with Downs Syndrome for example... or pretending a candidate is overly obsessed with his daughter.

So buying domains for his daughter simply serves the same purpose that buying domains like "DonaldTrumpSucks.com" - it prevents his enemies from using lowball tactics they could otherwise employ.

That a lot of males would like to bed her isn't in question. The problem is that her dad shouldn't be counted among them.

And yet, he never said the words. He just merely said Howard Stern can say what he wants. What a fucking shocker.

Nope, not bashing

They found that the Trump Organization owns more than 3,600 web addresses, including names of his properties, products and progeny, as well as Trump-bashing names. [...] donaldtrumpsucks.com, no2trump.com, trumpmustgo.com and two dozen others that appear to be bashing the billionaire Republican presidential nominee.

These show a blank page; they are defensively bought domains and most certainly not Trump-bashing in any way. The fact that Clinton doesn't own similar ones could reflect on her incompetence, but most likely on her political career pre-dating the internet.

Trump is more loyal to Putin than to Obama. He's more loyal to Russia than America. If he gets power, he'll hand over control of the middle east to Putin. That's all the oil, that's resources, that's geopolitical advantage. Either by incompetence or design.

Republicans, jfdavis668, I appreciate you want to get him elected, but do you really want your guy in power so much that you'd sell out your country?

You don't hold power when Putin has power, you have fake elections and lots of Putin statues and astroturf.

That's a hillbully tell: hallucinate something outrageous, then ridicule the hallucination.

I think that's #16 on the list.

Tell us about ethics. Tell us why Hillary's brand of integrity would be better for the country.

Both are going to be terrible. We're now arguing over which one we're more likely to survive four years of. Saying that one is evil and the other one is perfectly find and upstanding is just short sighted. This is not a sports event, so don't treat it like My Team Rules versus Your Team Sucks.

First drink is on me

[Okian Warrior]

Tick tock Okian Warrior! Just a reminder Trump loses bigly in one week, and I've got you bookmarked so I can come back and read your angry impotent tears on the 9th after he loses. :) Have a good week!

Knock yourself out.

Anyone who thinks of the election as a personal failure larger than, say, losing a game of darts in a pub is an idiot.

We've taken things waaaaay to far in this election, and it's time we stopped and thought about who we are and what we're doing. This is not who we are, We don't fire people for supporting a candidate, we don't beat up homeless people for holding political signs, we don't egg people or key cars that show support.

Anyone American, that is. Americans believe in free speech.

I've thought through both scenarios, and it won't bother me one bit if Clinton wins, and I won't be lording it over people if Clinton loses. Half the country is on either side, so in both cases we'll be in good company.

I'm planning on just shaking hands and saying "good game, the first drink is on me".

(And privately, a CTR on Hillary's payroll posting as AC won't damage my self-esteem. I mean really, you probably base your self worth on the opinion of others, but I don't. I'm good with who I am, and see the insults for what they are: insignificant.)
