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.
Seems to be bashing the Donald all the time.
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?
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.

People here would be calling him stupid if his team didn't. Oh wait, you all still are...

[...] 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.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
I did not check more than a couple, but the few domains I checked returned blank pages with no content.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
Buying domain names is a smart and preemptive move. Domains could have been relevant in a campaign versus Bernie.
With Clinton.... Trumpists are outnumbering most online polls and forums, such as Reddit.
Many of the Berners no longer give a s**t about Clinton, many of them even will not be voting for her.
There's always been political "crap" on Slashdot. See Hall of Fame: https://slashdot.org/hof.shtml
I looked at that page, and saw a horrible news story I had somehow missed:

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.

Furthermore, this isn't even very interesting or relevant. Clinton doesn't herself purchase the domains, and if there are a few bashing domains out there they aren't being run by the candidate so... so what?
We should be talking about policy and ethics. The two candidates have very clearly different approaches to national security, trade, border control, the supreme court, and a host of other topics.
Bashing by website name seems 'kinda childish in the face of serious issues.

... how come I can't ever think up good domain names to squat on? Certainly these weren't all bought preemptively. Some clever jerks got decent payouts from anticipating the paranoia. Damnit.
"This domain has been reserved from registration."
Hillary probably grabbed that one to keep it out of Bill's hands.
Have gnu, will travel.
Buying up 'X Sucks' domains based on your company's name or product line is routine. NAACP, for example:

Propaganda has never been illegal.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I was going to vote for Trump, but after seeing this, THIS is crazy and unacceptable. I'm going to vote for Hillary now.
Keep up the great work! And let me know any other things you want me to believe without critically analyzing it first.
Thanks!
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.)
Makes sense. They took a bunch of obvious names out of play.
Here's a video you might find interesting. Let's see if it goes viral or is picked up by the MSM.
Clinton's last-ditch efforts have failed, you guys got cock-blocked by the intelligence community.
(Oh, and BTW: it was American intelligence who leaked the E-mails to Assange, not Russian.)
Have a nice day! :-)
The newswire is getting pretty interesting.
I don't know when I've had this much fun!
Wow!
A google image search of pathological liar shows:
a) Hillary Clinton as the 1st entry
b) Hillary Clinton at least once on each line
Go get 'em, CTR!
That's a hillbully [twitter.com] tell: hallucinate something outrageous, then ridicule the hallucination.
I've gotta say, as someone who is Not With Her, that must the lamest attempt to invalidate a point of view Okian Warrior could have possibly mustered to the debate.
Oh, please. I've made attempts that are way lamer than that!!!
Here's one.
(I'm having far too much fun right now!)
Can we get a filter for BeauHD keeps repetitively posting crap Trump bashing articles from multiple discredited sites from the podesta leaks.
Just search for Trump , then Clinton.
BeauHD has a majority of articles coming from cnbc, washington post, politco, buzzfeed,vice all have been called on in the podesta emails leaks.
Fucks sakes we got a tech article from Slate yesterday , next up is the huffington post.
Nobody insults better than he does. Of course he only wants to be insulted by the very best, so owning these Trump dissing domains makes perfect sense.
3600 domains may not be enough to keep his ego in check.
Of course, it still beats voting for Cell.
I work for a toy manufacturor in Denmark. We buy up all kinds of shitty domains to prevent idiots from squatting, spoofing or mocking. We even bought up our companies name as a TLD, despite having no wish to use it for anything. I really hope ICANN doesn't come up with anymore common TLD's. Buying .xxx domains solely to protect your companies reputation is nothing but extorition and tax.
Domestic use of the various US intelligence and law enforcement services was never illegal as in it being classed as a regular criminal act like theft, but there was a law on the books preventing domestic use of US government propaganda tools contained within the Smith-Mundt Act.
https://www.techdirt.com/artic...
"The Broadcast Board of Governors, which produces programming like the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, has been prevented from aiming its programming at Americans since the 1970's when the Smith-Mundt Act (which authorized the State Dept. to communicate with foreign audiences via many methods, radio being one of them) was amended to prohibit domestic dissemination of the BBG's broadcasts. This was done to distance the State Department's efforts from the internal propaganda machine operated by the Soviet Union.
Now, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (part of the National Defense Authorization Act) has repealed the domestic prohibition, allowing the government's broadcasting to be directed at/created for Americans for the first time in over 40 years."
The point he made was generally correct, except it was both parties in both Houses of the US Congress plus Obama. Once again, when it counts, both US political parties are in total agreement: "Screw the people!"
But the important thing is don't let the wrong lizard get in!
Right?

I have no clue why that bit got dropped. I'd typed it and previewed it twice.

And golly-bob howdy, his supporters sure are defensive in this thread.
I've been thinking, maybe the cluster fuck of him getting elected might be the only thing that fixes them. The way Paula Bean had to get fired, maybe these people need to see what happens to the country when they actually hold the reins.
Who am I kidding, they'd just find another conspiracy theory, or another ethnic group to blame. The system is rigged. The system is always rigged against them.

Another unrelated but somewhat interesting fact:
The Clinton website carries campaign material in 11 Asian languages: Cambodian, Chinese, Gujarati, Hindi, Korean, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Urdu and Vietnamese.
Trump's website is English only, period. If ya don't speak American, they don't want you.

For one thing, the Clintons personally owned ClintonEmail.com, not the campaign. If that was a derogatory name, it wouldn't have shown up in the count.
For another thing, the article doesn't count derogatory names owned by supporters. The Democratic Party has been supporting the Clintons since at least 1992, right? Hillary personally has been running for President since 2000. I bet the Democrats own a bunch of anti-Clinton and anti-Hillary specifically domains that they bought defensively. Those domains aren't measured in the count either.
ABC and DomainIQ picked a dumb way to measure something that gave them an excuse to bitch about Trump, and Slashdot fell for it.
Reason he got into sexting. Huma, as per the Qur'an (relevant here, since she's a Muslimah), was supposed to be his tilth. But she was never w/ him, so he ended up sexting w/ other women. Incidentally, did he know that the girl was underaged?
One thing ironic about this incident - the Clinton staff gets Brian Pagliano to apply bleachbit to the server, but overlooks Abedin's toys. Did she use the same laptop, or her phone? Given how cheap laptops are these days, I find it strange that they shared a laptop (desktop, I would understand, given the space taken). Or was it that her phone backed up her emails to the cloud - be it iCloud, OneDrive or whatever - and then that automatically got downloaded on Wiener's laptop. Another thing - did the couple share a login, assuming that they were using Windows XP or later, or did they have a Mac, and does the Mac not allow separate logins? I mean, how would the FBI find her emails on the same email client as his? (When I was married, I shared a desktop w/ my wife, but we had separate logins)
While the closeness b/w Humary has been widely reported - Abedin being described as Clinton's other daughter, I can't imagine that that's the case any more. After having her staff violate the law and using bleachbit to delete everything at file system level, her deleted emails are likely a part of the 650,000 emails retrieved on her other daughter's husband's laptop. This is just too hilarious - regardless of whether it was Abedin sharing her husband's laptop, or cloud backup doing its magic and trumping Bleachbit.
Given that she's probably in the doghouse w/ her boss, Abedin should revoke her separation, go back to Wiener, and embrace Wiener fully. Have 6-7 more kids from him, so that he no longer feels the need to text his wiener to other girls - underaged or not
If Putin was invading US territories and conquering them, the question of patriotism would arise. It doesn't arise when the allies in question are spurious at best - like France or Germany, or deeply hostile at worst, like Saudi Arabia or Qatar.
A president has the prerogative to alter foreign policies, and redefine who our friends are and who our enemies are. There is nothing inate about Russia having to be our adversary: if they happen to share certain common enemies that we share, like Jihadist parties anywhere, they can be defined as an ally, should a president so choose. On one hand, we have to kowtow to the wishes of Europe, even if they made it next to impossible to go into Iraq (that that turned out to be a wrong decision was something else, since Europe didn't have the argument that Iran would be strengthened by such a move). Turkey is an 'ally' despite denying us the usage of Incirliq during that conflict, and secretly supporting ISIS b'cos they both hate the Kurds. Yet we are supposed to oppose Russia.
Also, Obama has not been neutral in this election: he is aggressively campaigning for Clinton in this election, going to the unseemly extent of badmouthing Trump even abroad, while talking to foreign leaders. This from the party that during the Clinton years lectured us about politics stopping at the water's edge. If he is busy doing that, why is Trump morally obligated to support Obama over Putin? Those etiquettes work both ways. Given the way Obama has made it okay for foreign leaders to worry about the outcome of what is really the internal issue of the US - our elections, it's downright false to conflate US interests w/ Obama's wishes. It is Obama's wish that Trump not be elected. The US, as a country, has no interest in whether Trump or Clinton get elected. Actually, it does, since Clinton is the one w/ a record of peddling in classified information, to extents that are yet to be fully comprehended
That law was never enforced or even taken seriously. If it was, the Uncle Sam "I Want You" signs would have never been allowed. When the US government cooperated with Hollywood to make pro-military movies, from pre-WWII to Vietnam right through to post-Iraq, it was not prosecuted for disseminating propaganda.
You are welcome on my lawn.
The story on the bank had some reasonably technical matters...though very poorly explained. This one...
Well, it's only 7 days until the election.
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
Haha, so Donald Trump doesn't want people opening hate websites against him so his solution is to snatch up all the potential domains. How is someone so insecure and egotistical come even close to being a suitable country leader? All a foreign minister has to do to win him over is claim that he'll grow extra large hands and better hair if the US bends over backwards for their country.
Yeah, he claimed he would date her if she wasn't his daughter. This video sums it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The Trump "Organization" doesn't own Trump.org. They could have, but missed it. Here's yet another tiny reason why you should ask yourself: Is he fit to be president?
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
