President Trump’s first term by the numbers:

Another day another gaffe, even with the teleprompter.

Shouldn't this guy be in a home somewhere?

Absolutely! There ought to be a cut off line at 70 for presidential candidates.

Hey Per, he's even older than we thought he was!

ACB being called racist for adopted black children

[Per]

ACB being called racist for adopted black children

Yeah, that’s crazy.

I mean, I know there are people that argue that children are better off being adopted by parents with the same ethnic background; for purposes of identification, mirroring, etc. But come on!

Any family willing to adopt an orphan is better than foster care or growing up in an institution.

And claiming that someone willing to adopt a child from another ethnic group is racist precisely because of that is completely backwards reasoning.

The New York Times seem to have gotten access to Trump’s tax filings for the past twenty years or so.
Out of the last 15 years he did not pay any income tax for ten of them.
In 2016 he paid a total of USD 750, and apparently the same amount for 2017. Most years his losses exceed his
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... e=Homepage

Now why is this interesting, you may ask. Well, it goes to his credibility (which he of course has none).
Donald Trump likes to present himself as a successful businessman.
Now, generally speaking, successful businessmen tend to make money, not lose money.
Thus the information in his tax filings would indicate that he is a fraud.

There are basically two possibilities.

It could be that he is a failure as a businessman, living on borrowed money while a mountain of debt is quickly dwarfing his assets. Or it could be that he is cheating on his taxes. Either way he is a fraud.

Yeah, well it’s not just him.







Between the two demented oldtimers who lie about how well they did at college, I prefer the one without known mob ties.

Hmmm you seem to have overlooked all kinds of "possibilities" here such as...

Possibility: More fake news from the NYT in their continuing quest to smear ole "My orange hero".

(btw IF the correct filings were indeed obtained, they were obtained illegally, why trust those who operate illegally?)

Possibility: The "secret source" sold the Times 100% pure bullshit.

(btw IF the secret source did indeed have access, he/she broke the law by giving them to the NYT, why trust those who operate illegally?)

Possibility: The Donald, like all billionaires, finds ways to avoid paying taxes.

(btw tax avoidance is perfectly legal, why would you assume this is a case of tax evasion rather than tax avoidance?)



Not surprised that you ran with a an unsupported story from a known anti-Trump paper citing a dubious source.

But I'm a tad surprised at your apparent lack of knowledge of rich Americans legally avoid paying taxes.

(you silly mudslinger you)

You have responsibility to yourself to pay the least amount of taxes a legally possible.

Delaware State University denies Biden was a student after claim he ‘got started’ there

Delaware State University has denied that Joe Biden has ever been a student there — after the presidential candidate’s claim that he “got started” at the historically black college.

Lol, this guy amirite?

[Per]

Well, sure, if he did lose money, of course the deductions are OK. I think the issue is more that he has stated that he made more than 400 million in 2017, yet he told the IRS he lost 47 million. Which is it?

Is he lying to the public about being a successful businessman, or to the IRS about all his companies leaking money like sieves? It has to be one or the other.

I actually lean toward thinking his tax filings are correct and he is living large on borrowed money and borrowed time, which is sad. I would much rather have him being as rich as he claims to be and facing a lengthy prison term for tax evasion.

I bet if you delve deep into the ulta wealthy you would discover how little they all pay in personal income tax.

For these people, every financial transaction is funneled through various tax shelters. Look at the Chef or any contractor who has figured out the value of paying a chartered accountant.

If youre paying out high personal income taxes every spring and self employed its time to find a better accountant

[Topper]

Anyone asking how the NYT got hold of confidential tax returns from the IRS?

The same IRS Obama used to target Tea Party Republican groups.
