Well they get what they deserve. | ||

It would be hilarious (in a cosmic sort of way) if Trump were to lose now and win the nomination again four years from now. | ||

We should use this opportunity to have honest discussions about why they feel the way they do and hopefully convince them to see the good in people different form them Can also raise dramatically the education level. Trump only exists because many people are abnormally ignorant for a country like the US. | ||

Although part of me is incredibly happy to see the GOP explode in a fireball of stupidity and insanity, the US need a normal and functional right wing party. The GOP has lost touch with reality long ago, and America is not having a serious discussion on economics, on climate change, on social issue, because one if the sides is held hostage by tea party morons. I hate to say this, but the sooner the circus ends the better. And i'm not talking about Trump: Cruz, Ryan, Bush and all those hacks needs to just get the fuck out. When is the last time the GOP has made sense on economics? "Oh we are gonna cuts massively taxes on the 0,1% and dismantle social security and to make up for the missing trillions we'll close unspecifies loophole duuuh. And the economy gonna go great even though every time we did that it was a disaster." That's Ryan, the so called serious one. And i won't even talk about creationism, climate change denial, gun control and a million other shit. They need to get their shit together, and quick. | ||

Answering a question last night about his $916 million income tax loss carryforward in 1995, Donald Trump stated that "Warren Buffett took a massive deduction." Mr. Trump says he knows more about taxes than any other human. He has not seen my income tax returns. But I am happy to give him the facts. My 2015 return shows adjusted gross income of $11,563,931. My deductions totaled $5,477,694, of which allowable charitable contributions were $3,469,179. All but $36,037 of the remainder was for state income taxes. The total charitable contributions I made during the year were $2,858,057,970 of which more than $2.85 billion were not taken as deductions and never will be. Tax law properly limits charitable deductions. My federal income tax for the year was $1,845,557. Returns for previous years are of a similar nature in respect to contributions, deductions and tax rates. I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. (Though, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year.) I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carryforward. Finally, I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited. I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr. Trump - at least he would have no legal problem. Source Dammit, beaten by ticklish | ||

Heh one of my Republican aunts mentioned mulling just writing him in. I don't know as much about Buffet but the republicans i know seem to love him and think he could fix things. Like everything Trump pretends to be with none of the awful human being part. | ||
