How can anyone say Trump not paying taxes is a good thing and he should be lauded for it? These are the things that pay for schools, firefighters, cops, infrastructure improvements. Has this been mentioned to dumb Trump supporters? Is anyone on camera saying they like that money is being withheld from schools and firefighters?

Let me help you with this:

How can anyone say Trump not paying taxes is a bad thing and he should be scolded for it? These are the things that pay for moochers, indolent government employees, aid to foreign countries, and the blacks/Mexicans*. Has this been mentioned to dumb Hillary supporters? Is anyone on camera saying they like that money is going to the blacks?

* This last one wouldn't have been so explicit in 2012, but it is 2016 and here we are.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/02/donald-trump-alicia-machado-republican-women-sexism

quote:

Neely Miarka, 43, worked the pull tab booth at another downtown bar, selling lottery tickets.

“I think it was taken out of context. I don’t think he was trying to say, ‘hey, you’re a fat slob’. Hillary isn’t all that great either, she’s not standing up for women. Who says Hillary is going to, just because she is one? We’ve given these politicians how many years to try? Hundreds and hundreds of years, and they haven’t.”

quote:

“People always say things they shouldn’t say, and just because he’s in the spotlight, they’re going to bring it all out,” Jessica said. “We all regret things that we’ve said or done. But I was raised old school and it’s called forgiveness and nobody’s perfect.”

“Who cares about Rosie O’Donnell or Miss Universe not being skinny?” she added.

While the friends said they don’t hate Clinton, Rene said they don’t believe women should be in the White House. “The three P’s,” Rene said. “Police officers, preachers or presidents.” Joyce, however, said she would have voted for former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

quote:

Marie and Katie, two retired elementary school teachers from south-east Texas, also thought Clinton bringing up Trump’s past comments was unfair. On vacation in New York, they decided to stop in the Trump Cafe for lunch.

“She has done far worse towards women than he ever has,” said Marie, 72, adding she was glad he “got away” from making comments about women’s appearances.

It was his reward for crashing a casino. He lost a billion dollars by ruining a loving casino.

For reference, if you own a casino it might as well be a literal money fountain for how hard it is to gently caress up. Trump ran one into the ground and as a reward he gets to not pay taxes for 20 years.

Also, since you're not the first person to bring it up...it's probably not even that great of a deal anyways due to inflation. That one billion in tax credit doesn't go as far as one billion in cash you could have invested 20 years ago. :v:

Keep in mind, a year ago when people would bring up "he loving bankrupted a casino!" as a vector of attack, the diffusing narrative was some variant on "it was actually real estate and it's not cut and dry as it seems, etc etc". Oh no, turns out that Trump is just a straight up grifter with 8 zeroes attached.

I brought it up with ErIog over PMs on Friday, but I think it bears repeating here. On Monday evening/Tuesday morning, things were looking fairly well for Clinton but there was was only a tepid enthusiasm because margins have been fleeting the entire year. There was absolutely no way that anyone could have predicted what had happened between Tuesday and Friday morning. "Nice meltdown" is a cute shorthand, but holy poo poo it's been nonstop for the past week; every morning is Chrismas in 1997 and we all got Nintendo 64s.

It's also been nice to be largely vindicated in the belief that if the republicans have accused someone of something, it turns out that they've done something in the same vein but about 5000 times worse.

Doing that same poo poo isn't legal at polls because it's voter intimidation.

Any place where white people feel comfortable enough to stand outside of polling places armed, are places where the police will let them participate in voter intimidation on minorities and women, so I'm still not seeing your point.

We demand to be taken seriously

An interesting part of the tax leak is how Trump's terrible treatment of staff continues to hurt him. The 80 year old retired accountant worked for the Trumps for decades, and instead of telling the NYT staff to get lost, or "no comment", he did everything he could to help verify the story.

It wasn't "the Trumps are dear friends and I would never go against them", it was "here, let me show you the typewriter I used."
