You're deluded if you think that Trump is on his own with the whole tax thing.
The Clintons will be tax dodging like feck too, maybe not on the same scale but it'd be foolish to go down that avenue to try and diss Trump.

Just because something feels true, doesn't mean it is.

Oops lol
 
Would it really make sense for a political junkie like Hillary Clinton to go down a rabbit hole like tax returns with Trump without having already proven her house was in order on that front?

It's amazing how quickly and completely this notion of Jill being anti-vaccine has spread. I went through her public stance with ubik, it's complicated but she doesn't doubt the utility or safety of vaccines. I went through the Green Party platform just to be sure and vaccines and homeopathy aren't mentioned once.

I had heard it and hadn't fact checked. I like her stance although it is a very fine line.
 
These are human beings.
Like millions of others, she believed that President Obama was a Muslim. And like so many she had gotten to know online through social media, she also believed that he was likely gay, that Michelle Obama could be a man, and that the Obama children were possibly kidnapped from a family now searching for them.

There's more
“It never crossed my mind that I’m losing it,” she said several months after her release, and a big reason for this conviction was the rise of Donald Trump, who had talked about so many of the things she had come to believe — from Obama being a founder of the terrorist group ISIS, to Hillary Clinton being a co-founder, to the idea that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia may have been murdered in a White House plot involving a prostitute and a pillow.

What an odd thing to say.
 
Guiliani is also gobbing off about Trump being a "genius" for not paying taxes for 20 years. Christie weighing in (no pun intended, well ok it was) saying the same thing too. Quite how the country would survive if nobody paid taxes is beyond me. Surely this is just a massive kick in the teeth to normal hard working folks? How can they cheer stuff like that, and put up with be treated like idiots about it? So condescending to say to people that it's clever not to pay taxes when they have no choice at all.

All of that resonates with Trumpers.

i.e. - stupid, selfish people.
 
All the Trump surrogates have got the memo to make it sound like Trump not paying taxes is a good thing .And he's going to fix it.
 
i stand by what I said. The clintons will not be squeaky clean, no fecking chance.
 


He's spinning it! What an utter cnut. This tax thing may have actually backfired here now because it's dominating the news, nobody is talking about anything else or the fact he had such a bad week, it's all about this. He might just be able to turn it around, unbelievable as that sounds.

Never say never, mate. I can't get too confident. Until he actually loses, or starts dribbling on live TV and strips naked and t-bags Hannity or goes off on a mad rant, I am taking nothing for granted. The sheer stupidity that he is still in contention, let alone ever a consideration, well that just shows how moronic and batshit the whole scenario is.
 
So let me get this straight.

As a businessman I can lose a buttload of money this year then if I don't make a lot of money next year I can use the losses of this year to not pay any federal income taxes? How can that be right? The system is really rigged.
