They have a lot of money (no surprise) and they spend a lot of money on furniture. No real scandals. QuarkJets posted:" Yes, but not all religions do things like baptize holocaust victims so they can get to heaven or any of the litany of kooky social stuff to keep their members entire lives focused around the church. I don't want to start a Mormon digression, but they are there own special brand of crazy. Outside the church though, like I said before, very nice people.

Endorph posted:hypothetically, what even happens if a third party candidate actually wins the election? In this specific election? Results are thrown out and the US and EU impose crippling sanctions on Russia as well as send troops to, at minimum, kick them out of the Ukraine. Moderate chance of World War III beginning.

in the specific case where Gary Johnson is awarded the presidency by the house, following getting all of 7% of the vote and 1% of the electoral college, probably a war.

A co-worker revealed on Friday that he has a family member who works on Bush Sr's staff. Per their relative the mention of Trump's name in private reliably results in multiple minutes of quality ranting at high volume. Which we all suspected. But having it confirmed is nice.

my grandmother had a mini-stroke yesterday and was in the hospital recovering and the doctor asked "do you know what's in the news" and she said "a presidential election" and he said "yeah, but who's running" and she said "that loving rear end in a top hat" and everyone laughed but she still needed to be specific

No. His business doesn't have any stockholders but Donald Himself. And he owes no fiduciary duty to mere creditors that he owes money to. It's complete Mr Mayor bullshit - what a surprise

If investors can sue Trump for paying more than required in personal income taxes what is to stop investors from suing Trump for stuffing his face with fast food when it would be more cost efficient to eat Ramen? So no, there is not truth to it.

A hedge fund manager with a tax background makes some guesses about how Trump could have declared the loss without having to take a $916m personal bath: http://brontecapital.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/some-comments-on-new-york-times-story.html e: To add a little more, Trump either personally lost nearly a billion dollars or (more likely) used a (most likely illegal) offshore vehicle to benefit from both bankruptcy and the tax deduction.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Which would instantly render the election invalid. There would be inarguable proof of a coordinated attempt to hijack the election and the results wouldn't be accepted. The US does not have any rules and procedures for resolving a disputed election beyond recounts and "welp, let's see which candidate the Supreme Court likes more". There is zero precedent for "welp, the election's invalid, let's have a do-over", ever. At best, the results for the entire disputed voting machine might get tossed. Hell, prior to Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court typically held that the federal government did not have the power to interfere with election results even in cases of obvious fraud, and it's likely that an 8-member court is going to punt similarly. Election fraud is a big deal even if it's discovered, because our system is not robust enough to handle it. Mel Mudkiper posted:if the link was posted before election day, the government would know and have security protocols in place The federal government has no power over elections, which are exclusively under the control of state and local governments. The federal government isn't even allowed to send election observers to polling places, let alone tell them how to run their security.
