But but but, he gave a classic handshake to Snoop Dog on live camera tv
Who do you suggest I vote for? Because I will vote for whomever I can that will insure Trump doesn't embarrass this country anymore than he already has.
And as far as I can tell, that choice has been narrowed down for me to one person. I will let you guess who that may be.
But call me anything you like------as long as you don't call me a Trump supporter, I will take it as a compliment.
Then I should assume this list in no order should be out.
Mitch McConnell, Rubio, Kasich, Cruz.
Is Nikki Haley voting Trump?
2020 is gonna be shit or get off the pot for right leaning independents, Libertarians, Republicans. Try a religious candidate and you're toast.
Paul/Amash 2020
Doesnt matter. Any loophole used was on the books & is perfectly legal. They should hate the game, not the player.
Besides, like no one from the NYT has ever done the same exact thing as Trump & used tax loopholes to pay in less. That's the American way.
Every single person I have ever met tries to pay as little tax as possible within the law.
I agree with you here. I don't understand why him not paying taxes is such a terrible thing. He is by all accounts a businessman. And a businessman who has a majority of his interests in real estate, which allows for huge tax reductions and credits.
I find much to dislike about Trump. But if he followed the IRS rules and was able to avoid paying taxes, I applaud him for that.
TBH, I always thought he didn't release the taxes bc he was worth less than what he claims. Or he has not given an adequate amount of his money to charities (politically speaking).
Yet you openly support Hillary & her true character. You do realize the same exact things are being said about her.
Her politics aren't why most people hate her. To act as if Trump's character flaws are far, far worse than saint Hillary's is disingenuous & dishonest.
Billary is just as rich as trump. Maybe moreso
Take it a step further - he hasn't owed any taxes based upon masterful accounting and structuring of deals; all legal.
Anyone who's ever taken a tax deduction would be hypocritical to criticize.
He isn't releasing them mainly b/c he knows the msm will spend weeks only focusing on them, drumming up any & every kind of faux outrage & scandal, regardless of if every i is dotted & t crossed.
Take today's NYT piece for example. They're already celebrating a gotcha moment, when the headline of their story reads "could have avoided."
Not did avoid, just could have. They're not even sure about what the hell they're accusing him of. Plus, no mention of if "could have avoided" was done so legally, within the laws on the books or not.
If he released his taxes, hundreds of "could have" opinated, bull shit, slanderous articles would overwhelm the rest of the election even if everything was on the up & up. He'd be dumb to fall for that trap.
I understand everything about Hillary and why people dislike her. I have openly stated in his thread that I do not like her. She is a secretive, smug and elitist snob.
Supporting Hillary and voting for her are two very different things my friend. I am much more of a Never Trump than Pro-Hillary. I will hold my nose and vote for her bc the alternative, for me, is abhorrent. As much as I dislike Hillary, it pales in comparison to my feelings about Trump. And the bottom line to me is that Hillary, and her myriad of flaws, will do what she thinks is best for the US. I don't believe Trump will do anything other than what's best for him.
Bill Maher is awful. Libertarians should be mad that he calls himself that. I always felt he is a closet lib, just too ashamed to admit it.
Honestly, you don't really believe this do you? You are just repeating this Trump surrogate line of BS bc you support him, right?
He isn't releasing his taxes bc it will not benefit him and his campaign. That is number one and the biggest reason. Possibly, he isn't releasing them bc they would be personally embarrassing to him. If he isn't worth near the bazillion dollars he claims, that's kinda a nut shot. ESP for a megalomaniac. Or, he hasn't contributed what would be politically considered an adequate amount of his income to charity. Anyone running for higher office is expected to contribute a certain percentage. Especially someone with as much wealth as Trump.
The fact that you are even excusing Trumps decision not to release his taxes, as has been done by ALL OF THE PAST 30 YEARS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES, is laughable. That you then go on to actually blame the media for not doing so, is equally ridiculous. I really hope you don't believe what you are saying and are simply backing your guy in an inexcusable situation.
If he didn't follow the IRS rules he would have been rotting in a jail cell a long time ago. Its not illegal to use loopholes. The MSM and left will try to attack him as not paying taxes, but it won't work because he did nothing illegal.
Hell if I were a super wealthy guy I'd be using every loophole too. Who wouldn't? Nothing wrong with wanting to keep as much money as possible.
Yeahhh. Here's my fault on Libertarians (being registered and will stay Libertarian). Too many Libertarians get into the left or right of their identity based on social issues. Problem is. They're both wrong. Which is why I have really admired Trump through his campaign. Well 1. he isn't spending billions of campaign dollars. 2. He isn't going evangelical. 3. He has kinda revived my soul. If he hadn't been nominated. I would have stuck with Jary Gohnson and would not have give a f***.
I do wish he wins. But I do wish he stays in some other place other than the White House. Just irks me a tinge on that.
I agree with this, as I posted in my initial reply. If he was able to avoid paying taxes, I applaud him and I am not sure why it's such a big deal.
I don't buy into the vast left wing conspiracy thing anymore than I buy into the right wing conspiracy theories. However, if your assertion is that his opponent will use this against him as a way to gain voters, then well yeah. That's how these things work. Trump would use it against his opponent if he could as well.
Yep, just like the msm didn't turn some fat chick's feelings -- that were hurt by "mean" comments decades ago -- into a national outrage for five days & counting.
They'd have field day, no holds barred style, digging through his taxes & slapping every so called expert opinion & their "he could have, but we have no proof, just innuendo analysis" on every newspaper, website & TV screen.
And yet only 59 refugees admitted to this Country have been Christan. No religious test? The stats don't back up what you or the President say.

This was perhaps one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in my life.
On the one hand you have a man who 20 years ago wanted his pageant winner to fulfill her contractual obligation to remain thin while she held her crown, and he has a weakness for hot women. gasp!
On the other hand you have a woman whose husband lied under oath because of a bj risking disbarment and impeachment and whose top adviser married Anthony touchin Weiner.
Whose judgment should be questioned?
This is astoundingly obtuse. Have you ever heard of the economic term velocity of money? Do you understand fully what that implies?
Can you tell me ONE thing Hilary has done or will do that will help the middle class?
Serious question here. What has she done in the past that convinces you she will do this?
I am like you in this regard, I am not pro Trump, I am never Hilary. For me, I have seen what career politicians have done to this country from both sides, and an outsider is what is needed to shake things up. Now, Trump was never my first pick, nor my third pick, but he is what's left. He got a record number of votes in the primary, which tells me, most republicans are tired of sending republicans to DC to do nothing but send us farther down the shithole of economic failure.
My greatest 2 things about Hilary is: 1. I think she is already been bought and paid for and will pander to that money, the woman can NOT tell the truth about anything, and I think she looks down her nose at common americans.
Don't you know that only democrats can do this? They have that socialistic and communistic mentality. We are in charge and we say what you can think and not think. PC anyone?
Says the MSNBC, NBC, CNN, CBS, NY TIMES, ABC, nut hanger. Continue to lockstep to those who tell you how to think, eat, sleep, talk (PC). You guys could not be more ignorant.
You are truly duped. Poor boy, I pity you. How have you made it in life? Never mind, sucking off the teet is the norm for people like you.
It's understandable that some people dislike Trump as he is certainly a narcissist and lacks sophistication for a man that has lived the high life. But for his flaws his name calling and views on the Iraq War and even his unwillingness to release tax returns are simply trivial matters in the grand scheme.
Nobody lost their lives, risked national secrets, lied under oath...Hillary is NOT a better choice simply because she is the most corrupt person to EVER run for President. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
The problem with this is I personally do not care if people running for president release their taxes, publicly! I do not believe it's necessary and I also believe it only started happening as a political plot in whichever campaign it started in.
In comparison, and I realize you're not defending Hiliary, I find it impossible to not assume something extremely crooked and corrupt was deleted in her emails that we will never find out.
That is worse IMO than Trump not releasing taxes, which again I think should be kept a private matter that candidates do not speak about.
All of this hubub about Trumps taxes when in the past many politicians avoided paying taxes and not a peep from the left about it. Charlie Rangel anyone?

I'm not a birther, but of all documents that should be released, why isn't it tradition that all candidates release their birth certificate? It's like the only thing called out in the constitution. Wouldn't that make sense?
As I have stated time and again I do not like Donald Trump at all.
I think you could replace every reference to Trump and taxes in your post with - Hillary and email/classified material and it would read damn near the same.
I assume he legally avoided taxation which to my understanding is vastly different than evading taxes. I could be wrong.
Mishandling classified material far outweighs legally taking tax deductions. Well, at least for me it does and that is the deciding factor for my vote.
Hillary' actions were either willful disregard or incompetence. I cannot see another explanation.
What about that model citizen Al Sharpton? Yet the MSN won't report that, in fact he got a cushy job at MSNBC.
It is early October and the media is in bed with Hillary. No one saw that coming.
Wait, so the candidate who breaks laws for a living is bashing her opponent for following them? Weird world
