If Trump wins 20% of the black vote, chalk up a major victory for him and Republicans. Bush Jr won 11% of the black vote in 2004, by comparison. And all things considered, if Trump grabs a third of Latino voters, that would be great for him as well.

Both cases are so good for him, Im having trouble believing the results arent majorly skewed.

Bernie came out with a major statement over social media that voting anyone other than Hillary was simply the wrong choice.

I strongly disagree with his logic but at least he is a man of his word, even to a fault.

Anyway, there a few crossing lines, but not enough to lose the election. The only really scary part for her will be the debates. Trump is a much better orator than her, regardless of the actual substance or lack thereof in his words. She also is not a very healthy woman. Trump wants rank and file democrats to stay home. that is the only way he can win.

Trump Shreds The Constitution By Threatening To Impose Ideology Test In The US

During a rally in Florida, Trump announced his plan to trash the Constitution by imposing an ideology test in the United States of America.

“You can’t have vetting if you don’t look at ideology, and Hillary Clinton refuses to consider an applicant’s worldview, and thus their likelihood of being recruiting into the terror cause at some later date, which is going to happen in many cases.

This isn’t just a matter of terrorism, this is also really a question of quality of life.

We want to make sure that we are only admitting people into our country who love our country.

We want them to love our country.”

“Hi,” I said. “Noticed your Trump bumper sticker.”

“Yup,” he said, a bit defensively.

“I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I’m curious. Why are you supporting him?”

“I know he’s a little bit much,” said the Trump supporter. “But he’s a successful businessman. And we need a successful businessman as president.”

“How do you know he’s a successful businessman?” I asked.

“Because he’s made a fortune.”

“Of course. Forbes magazine says he’s worth four and a half billion.”

“But if he had just put that $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth twelve billion today,” I said.

Following birther reversal, Trump’s allies lie about his lie

Trump’s allies hit the Sunday shows yesterday, pretending that the newly manufactured fiction is actually fact. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway insisted (https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/777515852920975361) yesterday – repeatedly and falsely – that the birther conspiracy theory “started with” the Clinton campaign. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, who must know better, was equally eager to peddle the (https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/777548637006131200) same (https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/777550158661844993) nonsense (https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/777549124963098624).

But no one was quite as brazen in his dishonesty as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who told CNN’s Jake Tapper yesterday that the birther garbage has been “done” as an issue “for a long time.” The host reminded the viewing audience that Trump kept the conspiracy theory going for five years after President Obama made his long-form birth certificate available to the public. It led to an amazing exchange (http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1609/18/sotu.01.html):

CHRISTIE: Jake, that’s just not true. It’s not true that he kept it up for five years.

TAPPER: Sure, he did.

CHRISTIE: It’s simply not true.

TAPPER: It is true.

CHRISTIE: It wasn’t like he was talking – no, Jake, it wasn’t like – it wasn’t like he was talking about it on a regular basis until then.


To the extent that reality matters at all,

Donald Trump was not only a birther ringleader in the years leading up to 2011, and

he not only rejected the president’s birth certificate as a “fake” and a “fraud” in 2011,

Trump also proceeded to push the same conspiracy theory in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.

Fact-checking the New Jersey governor’s claim yesterday, the Washington Post concluded (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/09/18/christies-claim-that-trump-did-not-on-a-regular-basis-spout-birther-nonsense-after-2011/),

“This is such bogus spin that we have to wonder how Christie manages to say it with a straight face…. [C]learly Christie is either lying or he is so misinformed that he has no business appearing on television.”

In a way, Trump put his friends in an impossible position, sending them out to defend the indefensible, urging them to lie on his behalf. It’s not surprising that this didn’t go well.

But Christie, Conway, and Priebus didn’t have to agree. They had a choice and they chose to go on national television, repeating obvious falsehoods. In a normal year with normal candidates playing by normal rules, this would be the basis for a major, damaging controversy.

Somehow they've forgotten that he'd pay taxes on all those re-invested dividends with no write-offs.

1976
Top rate on regular income: 70%
Highest Income Tax Tier: $200,000
Top rate on Capital Gains: 39.9%

Welp, you have to go to the mid 70s to discuss a tax return? That's not good.

[rmt]

It's tongue-in-cheek considering the whole tax return controversy now. The point is that one doesn't just re-invest dividends for decades - taxes are paid on dividends at ordinary income rates and one must live on something.

From boutons' post:
“You know, in 1976, when Trump was just starting his career, he said he was worth about $200 million,” I said. “Most of that was from his father.”

“That just proves my point,” said the Trump supporter. “He turned that $200 million into four and a half billion. Brilliant man."

“But if he had just put that $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth twelve billion today,” I said.

Where are you getting this from? Trump is a joke. He has no ground to stand on when it comes to discussing issues. So I'm having a hard time understanding that she has no chance against Trump.

In what way does't she have a chance?

Going back to the dem primary debates, it was a draw. She won the first few debates and then Bernie won the ones held later on when he grew with the people.


The best Trump can hope is that he baits Hillary into name calling.

Theres just no way Trump can actually out policy her on the issues.

I finally found a Trump supporter -- this morning when I went to buy coffee. (I noticed a Trump bumper sticker on his car.)

“Hi,” I said. “Noticed your Trump bumper sticker.”

“Yup,” he said, a bit defensively.

“I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I’m curious. Why are you supporting him?”

“I know he’s a little bit much,” said the Trump supporter. “But he’s a successful businessman. And we need a successful businessman as president.”

“How do you know he’s a successful businessman?” I asked.

“Because he’s made a fortune.”

“Has he really?” I asked.

“Of course. Forbes magazine says he’s worth four and a half billion.”

“That doesn’t mean he’s been a success,” I said.

“In my book it does,” said the Trump supporter.

“You know, in 1976, when Trump was just starting his career, he said he was worth about $200 million,” I said. “Most of that was from his father.”

“That just proves my point,” said the Trump supporter. “He turned that $200 million into four and a half billion. Brilliant man."

“But if he had just put that $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth twelve billion today,” I said.

The Trump supporter went silent.

"And he got about $850 million in tax subsidies, just in New York alone," I said.

More silence.

"He's not a businessman," I said. "He's a con man. "Hope you enjoy your coffee."

Not really, it is quite arguable that he would be wealthier without having done anything other than let someone else manage his starting hundred million or so.

What Trump has said about real estate is that he prefers to use other people's money, i.e. borrow it.

If he says he has billions in net worth, his accumulated debt has to be on that order, likely several billion dollars.

Trump's Economic "Fixes" for Women Mean the Fix Is In

Trump’s so-called economic fixes for the nation’s majority -- women -- were woefully lacking.

His proposed slash of the top income-tax rate from 39.6% to 33% would definitely benefit upper-income female workers who earn more than $413,350 per year (https://www.google.com/search?q=income+tax+brackets+2016&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8).

But what of their lower-paid sisters, like the majority of minimum wage workers who happen to be adult women?

No meat on that bone. These women already make so little they qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/do-i-qualify-for-earned-income-tax-credit-eitc) (and often have to rely on Medicaid and Food Stamps to get by) so they don’t pay income tax, making the cuts meaningless. But all workers get hit with payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, unemployment), regardless of how little they make.

Trump’s plan ignores this inconvenient truth for females, still getting 78 cents on the dollar for full time work when compared to men.

making child care a deductible instead of a credit as it is now hits middle income workers hardest. The present Child and Dependent Care Credit (https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc602.html) comes off your tax bill whether you itemize or not. Changing it to a deduction means if you don’t itemize, you don’t get the deduction.

Ivanka Trump -- her father says she will be put in charge of child care reform -- could deduct the cost of a high-priced live-in nanny. But those with a child in family day care or cared for by grandparents could deduct a comparative pittance or nothing at all.

His newly-minted maternity leave plan also has a hidden economic barb for women. Since it’s maternity leave only -- no benefit for new dads and nothing for taking care of sick family members -- it’s sexist on it’s face. But the deeper problem is how employers will view female workers if they’re of child-bearing age when there’s no comparable benefit for men.

Better not promote her, she might get pregnant. For that matter, better hire the guy in the first place.

No doubt about it -- Trump economic "fixes" for women only mean the fix is in.

This Is The Authoritarian Mindset

Look at this exchange caught by (https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/778060998309740544) CBS's indefatigable Sopan Deb from the Michael Savage radio show.

SAVAGE: Donald Trump is with us on the Savage Nation. Line 10. Donald Trump, you're the only one who can save us from this insanity. We need you Donald. You've got to become president.

TRUMP: There's no question about it. It's horrible. What's going on is horrible. And Hillary Clinton was there. I mean, she was there. Now she's saying what she's going to do. What can she do? She was there and led to the weakness of our country. And it's disgraceful that she now talks about what she can do. She can do nothing.
Like the Skittles nonsense, it's an embodiment of the Trump campaign: simultaneously hateful ugly and comical stupid. But look at the self-abasement.

As President Obamasaid (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/obama-dnc-trump-dont-boo-vote) memorably in his convention speech, We Americans don't look to be ruled. But a lot of high-profile Trump supporters not only hunger to be ruled but their advocacy has incorporated this hunger to be ruled into its very vocabulary. It sounds dramatic to say this. But expression of support has been channeled into an abasement or even abandonment of the self.

I've never heard Americans, even in late campaign partisan frenzies talk about candidates like this. And this isn't the only example. We're hearing many.

On the one hand, this is simply comical.

We need a weird haired Reality Show clown to rule us? It's the only way we can be saved?

On the other hand, this is the subservient self-abasing mentality strongmen and authoritarian rulers cultivate and their followers adopt

Playing by different rules: The media lets Trump “get out of jail free” but won’t let Clinton “pass go”

The press slams Clinton based on pre-2016 political standards, while Trump is judged on a much lower bar

according to what we’re observing online and via cable news, Hillary Clinton’s negatives appear eons more grievous than Donald Trump’s missteps, even though they’re not — and this disparity unfairly elevates Trump and his poll numbers. This is how elections are tilted toward despots and undisciplined strongmen. They’re legitimized and humanized despite their long menu of unprecedented gaffes, lies and treachery.

For some time now, I’ve been attempting to define the specific differences in the political press’ coverage of Clinton and the coverage of Trump. There are several underlying factors at work here. But the broad stroke imbalance is specifically due to the fact that the news media is evaluating Clinton based on pre-2016 political rules, while Trump has been operating under his all-new 2016 political rules. And the press has mostly sanctioned those rules.

Put another way: Clinton’s triumphs and gaffes are being observed and reported through what we’ve all come to know as canon for presidential campaigns in the modern era. Candidates running for president, prior to the ascendance of Trump, have always been expected to do and say certain things in order to successfully participate.

For example, candidates are expected release their tax returns. They’re expected to speak using a particularly even-keeled tone of voice.

They’re expected to hold a few press conferences along the way. They’re expected to shift to a more centrist posture for the general election. They’re expected to behave in a way that won’t offend minorities and mainstream Americans alike.

If they deviate from any of these rules (and there are many other rules and traditions) they’re pilloried by cable news talkers and political reporters who are career motivated to feed dramatic beef to the ratings beast.

Why Donald Trump’s defense of his foreign entanglements is pure lunacy

Confronted with the recent Newsweek cover story (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/23/donald-trump-foreign-business-deals-national-security-498081.html) detailing numerous potential conflicts of interest between his foreign business dealings and American national security should he be elected,

Trump and his children responded with a litany of nonsensical claims.

There would be no conflicts, he said, because he would put his company, the Trump Organization, into a blind trust.

Then he said he would sever his connections with the business.

With both answers, though, he said his children would run the company.

Then his daughter, Ivanka Trump, a fashion designer and former model, jumped in with her goofy explanation, saying she and her siblings would figure out how to avoid deals that might raise conflicts of interest for their father.

Trump Organization ... the Trump name and, until he began his national campaign, the reality television show The Apprentice, for which Trump was host and executive producer.

The global conflicts that could undermine national security are in Trump’s branding business.

He has many overseas partners with undisclosed ties to factions within their governments; a troubling number of them are criminals or under indictment.

All of them are paying, have paid or about to start paying millions of dollars to the Trump Organization for the privilege of putting his name on their buildings.

So, if Trump gets into the White House, the president of the United States will be in a business deal with an Azerbaijani billionaire whose father is a prominent government official identified by American intelligence as a money launderer for the Iranian military.

The Trump Organization’s partners in India would place America’s crucial but shaky alliance with Pakistan at risk.

Relations between Trump and Turkey’s government are deteriorating in part because of his business connections there, and that country’s president has told people close to him that he will not allow a Trump-led America to use a military base that has been a critical staging area for the bombing campaign in Syria against the Islamic State group, known as ISIS.

In other words, all these entanglements would imperil the national security of the United States.

These conflicts cannot be resolved with the simpleminded solutions offered by the Trump family.

Start with Trump’s “blind trust” argument.

Politicians using a blind trust hand over their investment portfolios to independent third parties that make trades of stocks and bonds without seeking permission or informing the politician. As a result, the politician doesn’t know what is in the trading account, thus eliminating the danger that financial interests will influence governmental decisions.

The lunacy of Trump’s argument is evident. If someone drops a huge curtain in front of Trump Tower, will Trump no longer know the building is there?
And Trump already knows who his overseas partners are, so unless he suffers from an illness that cripples his memory, the conflicts will not be resolved just because those deals are in a blind trust.

Another obvious problem here: It will be awfully difficult for Trump not to know what the Trump Organization is up to if, on a state visit to Russia, he sees “Trump Tower Moscow” on a high-rise there. Lastly, a blind trust is not blind unless the person managing it is independent of the owner, and Trump has said his children will manage the company if he wins in November.

Trump says he will “sever” his relationship with the Trump Organization, and his children will be running the company and will be its primary financial beneficiaries. In a true blind trust, the beneficiary continues to receive the financial rewards of the investment. So will money keep flowing to Trump? He won’t say. And it doesn’t matter, because it is clear he could easily enrich his kids and “their” company from the Oval Office.

EMOTIONAL OBAMA TEARFULLY THANKS TRUMP FOR GRANTING HIM CITIZENSHIP

http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Borowitz-Tearful-Obama-1200.jpg

WASHINGTON — Calling this “the greatest day of my life,” a visibly moved Barack Obama held a news conference on Friday to thank Donald Trump for granting him U.S. citizenship.

“The issue of

whether or not I was a U.S. citizen has been a dark cloud

over my existence for as long as I can remember,” a tearful Obama told the press corps.

“Only one man had the courage, wisdom, and doggedness to make that cloud go away: Donald J. Trump.”

The President, who had to halt several times during his remarks to compose himself,

praised the Republican Presidential nominee for “never giving up” in his quest to prove that Obama was born in the U.S.

“A weaker man would have said, ‘I don’t need this in my life,’ but Donald Trump was always there for me,” the President said.

“Over the past five years, barely a day went by when he didn’t call me and say,

‘Barack, I don’t care what a bunch of crackpots say. You were born here, and I’m going to prove it once and for all.’ “

The President said he planned to spend the day celebrating his U.S. citizenship with his family.

“It’s great to be an American, at last,” he said.

When asked if he had

any message for Trump,

the President paused for a moment.

“Just this: I love you,” he said, a tear trickling down his cheek.

ENDORSEMENT OF TRUMP TO PLAY KEY ROLE IN CHRISTIE’S INSANITY DEFENSE


http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Borowitz-Chris-Christie-Insanity-Defense-01-1200.jpg

TRENTON — If Chris Christie faces prosecution for an alleged role in the so-called Bridgegate scandal, his endorsement of Donald Trump could play a crucial role in an insanity defense, legal experts believe.

Harland Dorrinson, a defense attorney who has represented many politicians in high-profile criminal cases, believes that

Christie’s endorsement of Trump earlier this year could persuade a jury that the New Jersey Governor is “completely incapable of rational thought.”

“An insanity defense is always a long shot, because the bar for insanity is set very high,” Dorrinson said. “Having said that, I believe that Christie’s endorsement of Trump easily meets that standard.”

If Christie is prosecuted, his defense team is likely to show the jury footage of Trump routinely humiliating the New Jersey Governor on the campaign trail. “It will become abundantly clear that Christie endorsed Trump and received absolutely no conceivable benefit for doing so,” Dorrinson said. “Legally speaking, the only word for that is insane.”

Additionally,

Christie’s lawyers can argue that he begged Trump to name him his Vice-Presidential nominee,

even after it was abundantly clear that the billionaire had no intention of doing so.

“Seriously, that was crazy,”

Dorrinson said.

If Christie’s legal team succeeds with an insanity defense, the New Jersey Governor could avoid prison and be sent to a psychiatric facility instead, Dorrinson believes. “As long as he’s being held someplace where he can do no harm, the people of New Jersey should be happy,” he said.

Oh yeah, Hillary hasnt done anything shady with her charity. I could post a million articles about how trashy Clinton is too and her transgressions are far worse than Trumps.

According to their audited financial statements they spent almost 90% of all the dollars given on the stated charitable mission of the foundation, with the majority of the remaining dollars going to administrative overhead.
Program Percentage : 88 %

https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillary-chelsea-clinton-foundation/478

By any measure it is a well run charity, and the Clintons materially didn't benefit from it, other than the publicity involved in having a well-run charity with your name on it.

Here is a link that shows how that money is spent:
https://www.clintonfoundation.org/our-work

Not sure what you think the problem is.


Too Small to Fail, a joint initiative of the Clinton Foundation and The Opportunity Institute, is leading a public awareness and action campaign to promote the importance of early brain and language development and to empower parents with tools to talk, read, and sing with their young children from birth. Almost 60 percent of American children start kindergarten unprepared, lagging behind their peers in critical language, math, and social-emotional skills. Research shows that simple, everyday interactions with young children – like describing objects seen during a walk or bus ride, singing songs, or telling stories – can build their vocabularies, prepare them for school, and lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Maybe you think children shouldn't be read to?

That is horrible.

Be specific. What do you think is wrong here.

It's almost a self fulfilling prophecy; many minorities tend to thing the GOP is racist or has racist elements to it and then they up and nominate a racist with a 40 year track record of saying and doing racist things, who's racking up endorsements from white supremacists .:lol

Not a fan of the Bushes (GW, W, Jeb) or McCain and Romney but at least they have the balls to stick to their beliefs about their party and refuse to vote for him

There would be no conflicts, he said, because he would put his company, the Trump Organization, into a blind trust.


[/I][COLOR=#505050]The global conflicts that could undermine national security are in Trump’s branding business.

He has many overseas partners with undisclosed ties to factions within their governments; a troubling number of them are criminals or under indictment.


The thing that makes the "blind trust" fail is the large real estate assets with Trumps name emblazoned everywhere in gold lettering.

You might not know what specific stock or bond assets your trustee would choose to invest in, but large commercial real estate ventures branded with your name on it is impossible to design a "blind" for.

"Trump has led the charge on the "birther" movement and only when his handlers tied him down and made him did he finally admit that it wasn't true."

You didnt read my post obviously and Im more comfortable with a crack dealer than Hillary so posing that question is retarded

I am an accountant/auditor with 10+ years of on the job experience and with education and job experience that involves dozens of hours of graduate level finance courses.

The question:

Are you comfortable with the president of the United States directly owing billions of dollars to foreign banks and creditors, like say, Russia or China?

Is a very relevant question.

If it were retarded you could easily answer it, but yet you didn't. Why is that?

Can you link us to a source of trumps supposed billions of dollars of debt?

Seriously though, let's go into the rabbit hole.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/donald-trump-debt.html?_r=0


But an investigation by The New York Times into the financial maze of Mr. Trump’s real estate holdings in the United States reveals that companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House. The Times’s inquiry also found that Mr. Trump’s fortunes depend deeply on a wide array of financial backers, including one he has cited in attacks during his campaign.

For example, an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is part owner, carries a $950 million loan. Among the lenders: the Bank of China, one of the largest banks in a country that Mr. Trump has railed against as an economic foe of the United States, and Goldman Sachs, a financial institution he has said controls Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, after it paid her $675,000 in speaking fees.

Real estate projects often involve complex ownership and mortgage structures. And given Mr. Trump’s long real estate career in the United States and abroad, as well as his claim that his personal wealth exceeds $10 billion, it is safe to say that no previous major party presidential nominee has had finances nearly as complicated.

As president, Mr. Trump would have substantial sway over monetary and tax policy, as well as the power to make appointments that would directly affect his own financial empire. He would also wield influence over legislative issues that could have a significant impact on his net worth, and would have official dealings with countries in which he has business interests.

Yet The Times’s examination underscored how much of Mr. Trump’s business remains shrouded in mystery. He has declined to disclose his tax returns or allow an independent valuation of his assets.

Problem is, that real estate partnerships tend to be opaque, and don't disclose public finances the way publicly traded companies do.


For example, an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is part owner, carries a $950 million loan. Among the lenders: the Bank of China

You have to dig at it indirectly, through figuring out the liens on the properties that are owned.

In the final analysis, if your net (assets minus liabilities) is in the billions, then given the normal leverage in large real-estate transactions, and Trumps own statements regarding how he views debt, "billions" is not much of a stretch. known + probable

[RandomGuy]

“I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me,” Trump told Norah O’Donnell in an interview that aired on “CBS This Morning.” “I’ve made a fortune by using debt, and if things don’t work out I renegotiate the debt. I mean, that’s a smart thing, not a stupid thing.”

[boutons_deux]

As of Tuesday, we're now about 49 days away (https://days.to/election-day-in-us/2016) from Nov. 8. The presidential election is almost certainly (http://ibtimes.com/election-2016-polls-first-presidential-debate-where-do-donald-trump-hillary-clinton-2419010) coming down to a choice between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who has turned the entire election process upside down with his unprecedented embrace of harsh rhetoric against nearly every voting demographic other than white men. With that in mind, here are 49 controversial things Trump has said. Consider this both a refresher for election-wary citizens and for anyone who has lived underground for the past year or so.

All of these quotes are entirely real things said by Trump on the campaign trail (collected from old Newsday (http://www.newsday.com/news/nation/donald-trump-speech-debates-and-campaign-quotes-1.11206532), Vox (http://www.vox.com/2016/7/21/12218136/donald-trump-nomination-afraid), PBS (http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/blog-post/16-donald-trumps-most-controversial-statements), am New York (http://www.amny.com/news/elections/donald-trump-s-memorable-controversial-quotes-1.11177219) and past International Business Times (http://www.ibtimes.com/42-horrible-things-donald-trump-has-said-about-women-next-republican-presidential-2345140) articles.)

1. Kicking off his campaign talking about Mexican immigrants:
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

2. A debunked claim about Muslims on 9/11:
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."

3. On shooting someone:
"You know what else they say about my people? The polls, they say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like incredible."

4. On Fox News anchor and debate moderator Megyn Kelly:
"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her — wherever."

6. A written statement from the campaign calling for the U.S. to ban Muslims from entering the country:

"She's playing that card like I've never seen anyone play it before."

10. On a protester:
"Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing."

11. On a National Enquirer conspiracy theory (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-ted-cruz-jfk-assassination-226020) that linked the father of GOP primary rival Ted Cruz and the killer of President John F. Kennedy:

"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous... What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it."

12. On Clinton taking a bathroom break during a debate:
"It's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."

13. A tweet in response to the mass shooting in Orlando that killed 49 people:
"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"14. After seeing the Democratic National convention, which featured the Muslim parents of U.S. soldier who died in 2004 serving with the U.S. Army in Iraq:
"I saw him. He was, you know, very emotional. And probably looked like — a nice guy to me. His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably — maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say."

15. In response (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-father-fallen-soldier-ive-made-lot/story?id=41015051) to a challenge from Khizr Khan, father of the fallen soldier, who said Trump has sacrificed nothing:
"I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot."

16. On the election's fairness:
"I'm afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest."

"Only Rosie O'Donnell."

21. On America's lack of greatness:
"Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t win anymore… We can’t beat Mexico, at the border or in trade. We can’t do anything right."

22. On Clinton's armed guards:
"I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons…I think they should disarm immediately. What do you think, yes? Take their guns away — she doesn't want guns…Let's see what happens to her ... Take their guns away, okay? It'll be very dangerous."

23. A comment that many believed suggested an assassination attempt on Clinton:
"Hillary wants to abolish — essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."

24. On John McCain, who spent more than five years (http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account) in awful conditions, and was tortured, as a prisoner of war while serving in the Vietnam War:
"He’s not a war hero... He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured."

35. To NBC reporter Katy Tur (https://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC):
"She’s back there, little Katy... a third-rate reporter."

39. About a person attending a rally:
"Look at my African-American over here."

40. On ending his birtherism after years of claims President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.:
"President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period."

41. On Obama and the so-called Islamic State group (http://www.amny.com/news/elections/donald-trump-s-memorable-controversial-quotes-1.11177219), also called ISIS:
"He is the founder of ISIS."

"And, I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton."

43. On hand size (and innuendo at something else):

44. A tweet about the Chicago shooting-death of the cousin of NBA player Dwayne Wade​:
"Dwyane Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!"

45. On former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who has spoken out against Trump but once sought his endorsement:
"You can see how loyal he is. He was begging for my endorsement. I could have said, 'Mitt, drop to your knees.' He would have dropped to his knees."

46. Talking about a reporter with a disability, while making a motion many thought was mocking the man:
"You oughta see this guy, 'Uh, I don't know what I said, uh, I don't remember.'"

47. On his daughter Ivanka in a Rolling Stone profile (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/trump-seriously-20150909?page=13):
"Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father . . . "

48. On Ford's plans to build a factory in Mexico:
"They're going to build a plant and illegals are going drive those cars right over the border ... And they'll probably end up stealing the cars,"

49. On his sources for a claim that a man who stormed his stage was tied to ISIS:

Trump got his tax breaks the old-fashioned way—bribes (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/9/20/1572284/-Trump-got-his-tax-breaks-the-old-fashioned-way-bribes)

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump gave at least $45,000 to the campaign of Alan Hevesi, a New York state comptroller who later went to prison for his role in a pay-to-play bribery scandal, according to a Huffington Post review of campaign finance records.

That contribution resulted in some very serious returns on the Trump side. Trump got a break so big, he bragged about it in one of the books he paid someone to write.

The city reduced the tax assessment for Trump’s newest building by 17 percent and awarded the building a special tax abatement. In exchange, Trump agreed to subsidize 200 units of affordable housing in the Bronx. The settlement saved Trump $97 million in taxes he didn’t have to pay, he later wrote in Trump: How To Get Rich.


A $97 million return on a $45,000 investment is pretty good in anyone’s book.
Not only was this $45,000 among the largest checks Trump ever cut to a politician—along with those dispatched to Pam Bondi and AG-on-the-way-to-governor Greg Abbott—there are some common features between the Hevesi payoff and those in Florida and Texas.


The $45,000 to Hevesi “was very much out of character for Trump at the time,” Barrett told The Huffington Post. “I have no doubt that Trump had some sort of a reason to give, something he wanted.”

The timing of Trump’s lawsuit coincides almost exactly with the donations to Hevesi.


Trump had a lawsuit problem, he made a payment, problem solved.

It worked right up until Trump encountered Eric Schneiderman, where he was forced to try other tactics. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/9/1568385/-The-Trump-Foundation-s-biggest-contribution-wasn-t-charity-it-was-an-attack)

Donald Trump’s charitable foundation gave $100,000 in 2014 to a conservative activist group that was used to help finance a federal lawsuit against New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman — the same public official who was suing the real estate mogul for fraud over the operations of Trump University.


The biggest political payment Donald Trump made—illegally—out of his foundation, was to try and beat Schneiderman. It didn’t work. Not only was Schneiderman re-elected, not only is he moving forward on the Trump University lawsuit, he’s also broadening his case. (http://fortune.com/2016/09/14/trump-foundation-investigation-pam-bondi/)

On September 13, Eric Schneiderman, the New York State Attorney who is leading the lawsuit against Trump University, stated that his office is now investigating the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

“We have been concerned that the Trump Foundation many have engaged in some impropriety,” Schneiderman told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“My interest in this is in my capacity as regulator of non-profits in New York State.”


After the latest revelations (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/9/20/1572259/-Donald-Trump-used-his-foundation-to-pay-his-own-bills-big-league-fraud) about Trump’s foundations, Schneiderman may have to expand his staff.

And of course, like anyone standing up to Trump, Schneiderman faces totally not deplorable feedback. (http://forward.com/news/350278/schneiderman-called-jew-york-attorney-general-attacked-by-trump-supporters/)

Why So Many Business Leaders Are Tiptoeing Around Donald Trump

In conversations over the last several months with chief executives and other business leaders, the discussion invariably turns to the presidential election. And with few exceptions, at some point, most of the executives say something critical, even derogatory, about Donald Trump (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/donald-trump-on-the-issues.html?inline=nyt-per) — but it is quickly followed by, “I could never say that on the record.”

Almost as quickly, I ask why. The answer is almost universal: fear.

Technology companies are afraid that Mr. Trump might criticize their approach to privacy, as he did with Apple.

Wall Street banks worry he might seek to break them up.

Health care companies are nervous that he might attack them over pricing. Multinationals are worried about trade.

All of these are valid issues on the campaign trail — but with Mr. Trump, unlike other politicians, the criticism seems more personal and vitriolic.

Same as Nebraska, but that's a lock for Trump regardless. 3 EC points automatically go to the overall statewide winner (in Maine's case, HRC). The other 2 EC points are divided equally among the two halves (gerrymandered by population, not land area) and it looks like one half strongly prefers HRC while the other half weakly prefers Trump. Therefore, HRC will win 4 total EC points in Maine, and Trump will win 1.

Head to head reinforces my point. Without third party candidates Hillary gains 8 point and Trump only gains 3. Trump stays stuck at that 40% mark. His support isn't growing. Hillary has just sunk to his level (the same level he's been stuck at all along) when all 4 candidates are involved.


Looks like Johnson and Stein are leeching from HRC much more than from Trump. Likely the hipster millennial vote.

This is why Donald Trump’s tax returns haven’t been leaked

One big obstacle is that leaking confidential tax records is against the law, punishable by a $5,000 fine, up to five years in jail or both.

“The IRS and our employees take our role to protect confidential tax information very seriously,” chief agency spokesman Matthew Leas said, “and we have high standards and tight controls in place for this sensitive data.”


Q. How many people have seen — or could see — the GOP nominee’s returns?

A. According to tax experts and former IRS employees,

tens of thousands of people have access to Trump’s tax information, if not his complete returns.

Revenue agents, customer service staff and employees at walk-in tax assistance centers, plus a smaller number of federal contractors, use a master computer that shows a summary of everyone’s return. Once they enter a name or Social Security number, these employees could go further into the record, much like scanning a bank account.

“It would take ten minutes,” said Richard M. Schickel, who retired from the IRS in 2013 as a senior revenue officer and wrote a book about the agency (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=irs+memoir&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Airs+memoir). The computer is a “museum of tax information,” he said: “Everyone is on it. You, your grandfather, your great uncle.”

Q. So what prevents a curious IRS employee from taking a peek or passing Trump’s return to a reporter?

A. For one thing, it’s a felony (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/6103) to disclose confidential tax information. Federal employees could lose their job, pension, freedom and reputation.

The IRS says its 84,000 employees must attend annual trainings on taxpayer confidentiality. To identify snoopers, IRS computers track the electronic movements of all employees and contractors. Even an employee who legitimately opens the tax return of a neighbor of a high-profile taxpayer like Trump could be flagged, former IRS officials say

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/09/21/this-is-why-donald-trumps-tax-returns-havent-been-leaked/?wpisrc=nl_most-draw7&wpmm=1

Trash and Trash's trashy staff really do take the world as full of stupid fucks.

Donald Trash’s absolutely ridiculous response to The Post’s Trump Foundation story


In typical Washington Post fashion, they’ve gotten their facts wrong. It is the Clinton Foundation that is set up to make sure the Clintons personally enrich themselves by selling access and trading political favors. The Trump Foundation has no paid board, no management fees, no rent or overhead, and no family members on its payroll.

There was not, and could not be, any intent or motive for the Trump Foundation to make improper payments.

Miller's response to this latest story about Trump's use of the foundation wouldn't pass the smell test.

Miller starts off by dumping on The Post's journalism with zero evidence to back up his claim that we got our "facts wrong." When? Where? Who?

He quickly segues into a bit of political sleight of hand by insisting that the real story of this campaign is the Clinton Foundation and that the media is ignoring it. But the media isn't ignoring it. Not even close!

A quick Google search of "Washington Post Clinton Foundation" produces a bevy of results, including an op-ed from The Post's editorial board on Aug. 14 headlined: "A porous ethical wall between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-porous-ethical-wall-between-the-clinton-foundation-and-the-state-department/2016/08/14/f068899e-60b8-11e6-af8e-54aa2e849447_story.html?utm_term=.635803d16404)." It reads, in part:


Should Ms. Clinton win in November, she will bring to the Oval Office a web of connections and potential conflicts of interest, developed over decades in private, public and, in the case of her family’s philanthropic work, quasi-public activities. As secretary, she pledged to keep her official world and her family’s foundation separate, and she failed to keep them separate enough. Such sloppiness would not be acceptable in the White House.


That's not exactly taking it easy on Clinton and her family foundation.

In the second paragraph of his statement, Miller asserts that "there was not, and could not be, any intent or motive for the Trump Foundation to make improper payments." Okay. But that's not what The Post's article alleges.

Fahrenthold knows better than to suggest intent or motive; he is simply noting that Trump diverted $258,000 -- money that wasn't his -- given to the foundation to pay for things tied to Trump's businesses. Those are facts. And they simply are not in dispute, not even by Miller. (More on that below.)

As for Miller's claim that Trump has "provided millions of dollars to fund his Foundation and a multitude of other charitable causes," it's important to remember that Fahrenthold has been asking the Trump campaign and the foundation to document some -- any! -- of those personal donations for months now.

They have refused, forcing him to call or email each charity one by one to try to track the donations (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/trump-charity-donations/). If Trump is as generous with his own money as Miller says he is, it would be the easiest thing in the world to release a list of the various charities Trump has given to and the dollar amounts associated with those donations. Right?

(Note: Last year, Trump released a list of $102 million in charitable donations. But the campaign later acknowledged that not a single dollar of that money came from Trump's own pocket (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-portrait-of-trump-the-donor-free-rounds-of-golf-but-no-personal-cash/2016/04/10/373b9b92-fb40-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html).)

Then we get to Miller's final paragraph.


"The Post’s reporting is peppered with inaccuracies and omissions from a biased reporter who is clearly intent on distracting attention away from the corrupt Clinton Foundation," he writes.

The problem? Miller goes on to list a total of zero inaccuracies or omissions in either Fahrenthold's latest report or any of his work on the Trump Foundation. If Fahrenthold's work is rife with these errors, why not note one or two just to bolster your point? I think I know the answer. You probably do, too.

And then there is the name-calling -- the assertion that Fahrenthold is a "biased reporter" who is intentionally misleading the public to distract from the problems with the Clinton Foundation. "Bias" is a nasty word tossed around all too often these days about reporters, almost always with too little and, by that I mean no, proof of the claim.

A reporter isn't biased because you don't like the facts he or she has uncovered or because those facts don't comport with your broader vision of this race.

Trump's Giant Conflict of Interest Just Got Bigger

The US government is cracking down on Trump's largest financial backer. What will he do if elected president?


Trump would face a tremendous conflict of interest regarding the hundreds of millions of dollars he owes Deutsche Bank, which is now in the crosshairs of US regulators.

The US government has charged that the German banking giant misled investors into buying bad mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, and it is demanding that Deutsche Bank pay $14 billion to settle legal claims.

The bank is reported (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-deutsche-bank-mortgages-idUSKCN11L2VQ) to have planned for a settlement of $2 billion to $3 billion, and negotiations between it and the Department of Justice are likely to be contentious and last for months—possibly well into the next administration.

Should Trump take the White House, what Deutsche Bank ends up paying for its alleged misdeeds might depend on how tough Trump's Justice Department will be with the bank to which he owes so much money.

Trump has borrowed as much as $364 million from Deutsche Bank since 2012, and all four of the outstanding loans will come due before 2024—the end of a potential second Trump presidential term.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign paid more than $500,000 in August to companies the brash businessman owns, according to campaign finance reports released late Tuesday.


That includes $170,000 (https://twitter.com/7im/status/778659147017355264) a month for unfinished, window-free space in the middle of Trump Tower.

Trump also spent $11 million on his web site last month. That seems steep, but if there’s anything people are talking about in this cycle it’s Trump’s canny use of digital resources and the technical prowess of his campaign.

They took an understandable annoyance with political correctness and drove it to the opposite extreme, and because of them, popular music experienced its worst period in history for 4 years.

Trump Calls For Racist ‘Stop-and-Frisk’ Policing To Be Implemented Nationally

There is one candidate who acknowledges the reality of systemic racism and another who wants to worsen it.

the Republican nominee praised racist stop-and-frisk policing during a town hall at a black church in Cleveland.The church, if you were wondering, was filled mostly with white people during Trump’s visit.When asked how he would reduce crime in black communities, Trump suggested he would implement stop-and-frisk on a national level.“One of the things I’d do is I would do stop-and-frisk,” Trump said at the town hall set to air on Fox News Wednesday night. “I think you have to. We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive.”

As Slate noted (http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2013/07/01/mayor_bloomberg_stop_and_frisk_yes_the_controversi al_policy_is_really_really.html) in 2013:

Blacks and Latinos have consistently accounted for around 85 percent of stop-and-frisk selectees; according to 2010 census data, blacks and Latinos make up 52.6 percent of New York City’s total population.

“Even in neighborhoods that are predominantly white, black, and Latino New Yorkers face the disproportionate brunt,” reports the New York Civil Liberties Union.

“For example, in 2011, Black and Latino New Yorkers made up 24 percent of the population in Park Slope, but 79 percent of stops.”

Opponents of Trump and the controversial police tactic were quick to slam the GOP nominee’s plan.According to the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/22/us/politics/donald-trump-don-king-black-voters.html?_r=0), New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said that Trump’s proposal would “alienate the very people who we need to be partners in the fight against crime.” He added that Trump “does not understand how policing works.”

Donald Trump’s favorite physician, Dr. Mehmet Oz, is under fire after producers edited out a joke made by the GOP nominee about how much he loves kissing his daughter Ivanka.

According to MSNBC’s Peter Alexander, when Ivanka came on to the show during Wednesday’s taping, her father greeted her with a kiss… to which Dr. Oz said something along the lines of, “It’s nice to see a dad kiss his daughter.”

That was all it took for The Donald to give everyone the heebie-jeebies, telling the audience he kisses her every chance he gets.

But when the interview aired, the awkward exchange was conspicuously missing. Ivanka still walked out and Trump kissed her on the cheek, but with no mention of the kiss from spin-Dr. Oz.

Reporters who noticed the omission were quick to point it out. Alexander gave a warning to viewers before describing the cringe-worthy moment, saying, “Excuse me as I read it to you…” (watch video the video above).

And Bloomberg’s health and science reporter Michelle Cortez tweeted: “The Dr. Oz show edited out Trump‘s comments on kissing daughter Ivanka as often as possible.”

Trump has had a history of saying inappropriate things about his daughter.

Dems are ahead right now in early voting in NC.


In North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump, more than 53,000 voters had requested ballots, and 2,939 had been returned, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. That's up from 47,313 ballots requested during a similar time frame in 2012.

Broken down by party, Democrats made up 40 percent of the ballots returned so far compared to 33 percent for Republicans. At this point in 2012, Republicans were running slightly ahead, 43 percent to 38 percent, in ballots submitted. Republican Mitt Romney narrowly won the state that year and it's difficult to see how Trump could accumulate the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House without winning North Carolina.

The Many Times Donald Trump Has Lied About His Mob Connections

He apparently lied under oath to deny he associated with organized crime figures.

One topic ripe for such scrutiny is Trump's associations with organized crime.

For years during his business career, Trump worked or associated with proven or alleged mobsters.

(Trump's longtime lawyer (https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/former-mccarthy-aide-showed-trump-how-to-exploit-power-and-draw-attention/2016/06/16/e9f44f20-2bf3-11e6-9b37-42985f6a265c_story.html), the thuggish and deceased Roy Cohn, repped numerous Mafia bosses, some of whom were connected to Trump projects.)

Yet when asked about his links to the mob, Trump has repeatedly made false comments and has contradicted himself—to such a degree it seems he has flat-out lied about these relationships, even when he was under oath.

If elected president, Trump would be in charge of federal law enforcement. So his attitude toward the mob could well be deemed a highly significant campaign issue—as could his long record of not telling the truth about his ties to organized crime.

Here are some of the strongest examples of when Trump has spoken falsely on this matter.

So Trash has been "pal-ling around with wiseguys" for many years. That's a President that Sicilians can love.

Why Trump's Shady Foundation Practices Are A Major No-No In The Charity World

Donald Trump’s practice of using money from his charitable foundation for his personal benefit are obvious violations of the law and even have the potential of getting the Trump Foundation shut down, charity law experts told TPM.

One non-profit attorney said that Trump was “flirting” with violating an IRS regulation that would, in effect, terminate the foundation.

Another lawyer – a former chief of the Charities Bureau in the New York State Attorney General's office – said it was “conceivable” that an attorney general could seek to dissolve a foundation for self-dealing, if they can prove “it’s not really acting like a charitable foundation.”

A Washington Post report this week (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-used-258000-from-his-charity-to-settle-legal-problems/2016/09/20/adc88f9c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html)described a series of instances in which Donald J. Trump Foundation funds were used improperly -- and perhaps, illegally -- by Trump in transactions that suggest he was “self-dealing,” a well-known and long-held no-no for private foundations.

Legal experts who work in the non-profit world told TPM that the cases described by the Post report are well outside the norm.

“In this day and age -- the law has been around since 1969 -- it’s pretty clear,” said Marcus Owens, an attorney at Loeb and Loeb in Washington who represents nonprofit organizations.

“It’s rare to see acts of self-dealing. It’s extremely rare to see a pattern of self-dealing.”

Obama nukes Trump on race: ‘Even most 8 year olds’ understand black people worse off under slavery

ABC’s Good Morning America aired an interview with President Obama on Friday in which he blasted Donald Trump’s assertion that black people are worse off now than they “ever, ever, ever” have been.

In fact, the president pointed out that most people who have even a third-grade education have a better understanding of history than that.

“Even most 8 year olds would tell you that whole slavery thing wasn’t very good for black people,” he said.

“Jim Crow wasn’t good for black people. What we have to do is use our history to propel us to make more progress in the future.”

Law Prof Says There is Aready Enough Evidence To Impeach Donald Trump If He Beats Hillary

University of Utah Law Professor Christopher Lewis Peterson penned a 23-page article analyzing why (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2841306) it would be proper for Congress to impeach Trump if he’s elected.

He believes that Trump has engaged in fraud and racketeering which meets the standards under Article II of the United States Constitution which reserves impeachment for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
“Unlike his promised crimes yet to come, the illegal acts in Trump’s high pressure wealth seminars have already occurred.

Indeed, a federal judge appointed under Article III of the U.S. Constitution has already determined that Trump’s alleged actions, if true, constitute fraud and racketeering,”

Peterson wrote. While Peterson acknowledges there would be some legal hurdles, he contends that the

Constitution does not prohibit Congress from impeaching a President for alleged acts that happened prior to taking office.
“Congress would be well within its legal rights under the Constitution to insist upon a President who is not a fraudster or a racketeer as defined in its own law,”

Peterson wrote. Another issue that Peterson acknowledges is that if Trump wins, this would be seen as referendum against any kind of impeachment. After all, the people voted him in knowing he was facing lawsuits as it relates to Trump University. Peterson has an answer for that too.

“Trump appears to have lied about his role in Trump University to students, he has throughout the election continued to misrepresent the cases that focus on his misrepresentations,”

Lewis wrote. Therefore, Peterson contends that the American public might not have been aware of the full extent of his transgressions.

Right now, Donald Trump is facing three different lawsuit surrounding his role at Trump University. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a $40 million civil suit against the University for alleged illegal business practices and fraud. None of the cases have been resolved, and all are ongoing. Trump has repeatedly denied his school ripped off students.

New bombshell: Trump committed perjury or lied about trying to bribe Jeb — ‘there’s no third option’

DOnald Trump committed perjury. Or he looked into the faces of the Republican faithful and knowingly lied. There is no third option.

It has become an accepted reality of this presidential campaign that Trump spins a near-endless series of falsehoods.

For months, the media has struggled with this unprecedented situation—a candidate who, unlike other politicians who stretch the truth, simply creates his own reality.

Trumps regularly peddles “facts” that aren’t true, describes events that never happened or denies engaging in actions that everyone saw him do.

He utters his falsehoods so fast that before reporters have the chance to correct one, he has tossed out five or six more.

This time, it is different. Trump can’t skip past his perfidy here. There are two records—one, a previously undisclosed deposition of the Republican nominee testifying under oath, and the second a transcript/video of a Republican presidential debate.

In them, Trump tells contradictory versions of the same story with the clashing accounts tailored to provide what he wanted people to believe when he was speaking.

This fib matters far more than whether Trump was honest about why he abandoned his birther movement or the corollary fib that Hillary Clinton started the racist story that President Obama was born in Kenya.

In the lie we are examining here, Trump either committed a felony or proved himself willing to deceive his followers whenever it suits him.
Trump told the public version of this story last year, during the second Republican presidential debate.

Trump had been boasting for weeks at his rallies that he knew the political system better than anyone, because he had essentially bought off politicians for decades by giving them campaign contributions when he wanted something. He also proclaimed that only he—as an outsider who had participated in such corruption of American democracy at a high level—could clean it up.

During the September 2015 debate, one of Trump’s rivals, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, verified Trump’s claim, saying the billionaire had tried to buy him off with favors and contributions when he was Florida’s governor.

"The one guy that had some special interests that I know of that tried to get me to change my views on something—that was generous and gave me money—was Donald Trump,” Bush said. “He wanted casino gambling in Florida."

Trump interrupted Bush:
Trump: I didn’t—
Bush: Yes, you did.
Trump: Totally false.
Bush: You wanted it, and you didn’t get it, because I was opposed to—
Trump: I would have gotten it.
Bush: Casino gambling before—
Trump: I promise, I would have gotten it.
Bush: During and after. I’m not going to be bought by anybody.
Trump: I promise, if I wanted it, I would have gotten it.
Bush: No way. Believe me.
Trump: I know my people.
Bush: Not even possible.
Trump: I know my people.


If Trump was telling the truth that night, so be it. But if he was lying, what was his purpose? His “If I wanted it, I would have gotten it,” line may be a hint.

Contrary to his many vague stories on the campaign trail about being a cash-doling political puppet master, this story has a name, a specific goal and ends in failure. If Bush was telling the truth, then Trump would have had to admit he lost a round and, as he assured the audience, that would not have happened. When he wants something, he gets it.

But that wasn’t the point he needed to make in 2007. The deposition was part of a lawsuit he’d filed against Richard Fields, who Trump had hired to manage the expansion of his casino business into Florida.

In the suit, Trump claimed that Fields had quit and taken all of the information he obtained while working for Trump to another company. Under oath, Trump said he did want to get into casino gambling in Florida but didn’t because he had been cheated by Fields.

A lawyer asked Trump, “Did you yourself do anything to obtain any of the details with respect to the Florida gaming environment, what approvals were needed and so forth?”

Trump: A little bit.
Lawyer: What did you do?
Trump: I actually spoke with Governor-Elect Bush; I had a big fundraiser for Governor-Elect Bush…and I think it was his most successful fundraiser, the most successful that he had had up until that point, that was in Trump Tower in New York on Fifth Avenue.
Lawyer: When was that?
Trump: Sometime prior to his election.
Lawyer: You knew that Governor Bush, Jeb Bush at that time, was opposed to expansion of gaming in Florida, didn't you?
Trump: I thought that he could be convinced otherwise.
Lawyer: But you didn't change his mind about his anti-gaming stance, did you?
Trump: Well, I never really had that much of an opportunity because Fields resigned, telling me you could never get what we wanted done, only to do it for another company.

One of these stories is a lie—a detailed, self-serving fabrication.

But unlike the mountain of other lies he has told, this time the character trait that leads to Trump’s mendacity is on full display: He makes things up when he doesn’t want to admit he lost.

Immigrants Don't Take Americans' Jobs—But They Do Help US Economy: Study

The authors of the report said they hoped the findings would 'be of use to policymakers and the public as they consider this issue' :lol

The study analyzes 20 years of economic and demographic data of U.S. immigration. Within the past 10 years, the impact of non-native workers on American-born workers has been "very small," and workers who saw their wages decrease were most likely to be prior immigrants or native workers who did not complete high school. Recent immigrants were also more likely to reduce the job opportunities for prior immigrants, rather than native workers.

Meanwhile, some evidence suggests that other sub-groups of native workers and other areas of the economy may in fact have benefited from the influx of skilled immigrants. The second-generation children of immigrants were the most rewarding sect of workers—contributing more to the economy than any other demographic of the U.S. population, including native-born.

"The panel's comprehensive examination revealed many important benefits of immigration—including on economic growth, innovation, and entrepreneurship—with little to no negative effects on the overall wages or employment of native-born workers in the long term," said (http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=23550) report co-author Francine D. Blau, Frances Perkins professor of industrial and labor relations and Cornell University professor of economics.

"Where negative wage impacts have been detected, native-born high school dropouts and prior immigrants are most likely to be affected," she said.

"The fiscal picture is more mixed, with negative effects especially evident at the state level when the costs of educating the children of immigrants are included, but these children of immigrants, on average, go on to be the most positive fiscal contributors in the population."

Trump wants to fire generals who disagree with him. That’ll mean firing a lot of generals.

Donald Trump says he’ll listen to the nation’s generals about how to fight ISIS. He won’t like what they have to say.

Earlier this month, Trump said (http://time.com/4483355/commander-chief-forum-clinton-trump-intrepid/) that one of his first acts as president would be to give his generals “30 days to submit a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS.” He seems to think the reason ISIS stands is that the Obama administration has been too weak and feckless to give the military what it wants: the resources and freedom to crush our enemies.

He’s wrong. But the way in which he’s wrong is telling. The Republican presidential nominee has surrounded himself with retired generals whose extremely hard-line views about how to battle the terror group make them much more hawkish than the officers who are still serving — and would have to oversee the actual fighting. Those generals generally support the Obama administration’s current strategy of bombing ISIS from the air while arming and training the rebels battling on the ground.

Those generals also think that Russia, not ISIS, is the biggest threat to the US. Trump, in other words, would double down on what top brass see as the wrong war, while cozying up to the country many military leaders see as our greatest threat.

“He may be listening too much to the retired generals that are the ones closest to him, and extrapolating from them into the broader ranks of general officers,” said retired Army Lt. Gen. Dave Barno, formerly the top commander in Afghanistan. “That’s a mistake because they are extreme outliers in terms of wanting to do a lot more against ISIS.”

Think of it as the Iraq Syndrome:

The long and failed war there means an entire generation of commanders are reluctant to commit large numbers of ground forces to what could be a conflict with no end.

Candidate Trump will doubtlessly talk tough about ISIS at Monday’s debate, and a President Trump might expect that the military would enthusiastically want to help him “bomb the shit out of ISIS” in Iraq and Syria. The reality is that they wouldn’t.

Nothing in Trump’s public comments suggest that he grasps that the military is a fundamentally cautious institution led by men and women who are far from the warmongering stereotypes often seen in pop culture (like Dr. Strangelove’s Gen. Buck Turgidson).

Earlier this month, Trump told (http://time.com/4483355/commander-chief-forum-clinton-trump-intrepid/) Matt Lauer that he’d be willing to take the unprecedented step of firing generals en masse if he didn’t like what they had to say.

The Pentagon’s top brass, he alleged, “have been reduced to rubble … to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country.”

Once he took charge, Trump continued, “they’ll probably be different generals.”

Funny that "the generals think Russia is the biggest threat"

The Cold War is dead and gone. Russia has integrated into the global economy.

Russia fear DOES give them an excuse to keep our massive defense budget and keep buying new toys.

Russia right now is supporting Syria against the Syrian rebels, which means countering the USA's "regime change" of Assad.

Russia is trying to recruit Turkey, a NATO member, to their sphere of influence (and Turkey away from attacking Russia's protege Syria

Russia is also a threat to Europe, able to blackmail Europe, via Europe's dependence on Russian gas.

Keep wasting $10Bs and 100Ks lives like we've been doing since your criminals dubya and dickhead fucked up the Middle East.

The GWOT is unwinnable, and US military hasn't won shit anyway since 1945. But it's great for wealth transfer from taxpayers to the MIC.

Neo-Nazi Trump Supporters Are Going After YA Books Now

Author Laura Silverman wrote a YA novel, Girl Out of Water (https://www.amazon.com/Girl-out-Water-Laura-Silverman/dp/1492646865/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474659550&sr=8-1&keywords=Girl+out+of+Water), that’s slated for publication in May 2017. The book hasn’t fully made its way through the editorial process, and review copies have not been sent out.

Nonetheless, one day last week, Silverman heard from a fellow author that Girl Out of Water had been besieged with one-star ratings and reviews on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/), a popular site where readers keep track of the books they’re reading.

“There’s zero chance those reviews could have been legitimate,” she told The Huffington Post in a phone conversation. Not only is the book still under wraps, but she and others noted that many of the nasty reviews were posted by brand-new accounts.

So what was going on? Silverman, who is Jewish and frequently tweets about the election, had a good idea. Ever since this summer, her tweets calling out presidential candidate Donald Trump (https://twitter.com/LJSilverman1) for his problematic statements had attracted bucketloads of anti-Semitic responses and threats from white supremacist accounts.

After she tweeted her anger about Trump’s cozy interview on Jimmy Fallon last week, the trolls multiplied ― and, apparently, spread to other forums.

On Sept. 16, she tweeted a screenshot of her book’s newly abysmal Goodreads rating, with a plea to the site. “Please help. White supremacists are tanking my book,” she tweeted. “They’re trying to ruin my livelihood.”
