Trump's latest property-tax bill, out June 3, 2016, shows he once again received a middle-class tax break.
The self-proclaimed billionaire gets a tax break for New Yorkers whose incomes are $500,000 a year or less.

You can draw your own conclusions about Trump's honesty.
Because Trump has refused to release his income tax returns, for now his property-tax bills are about the only available window into his finances that doesn’t come from him. www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20160513/BLOGS02/160519926

I don't understand why so many don't see this. Of all the remaining candidates, she is the only one which truly embodies the status quo. Even when Cruz was in, she took the cake.
Smoke and mirrors, my friend, smoke and mirrors.
All the candidates, including Drumpf, are of the "establishment." Bernie because he's been in politics a number of years, Hilary and the Donald, because he uses the system to build his empire - all part and parcel of the status quo.
Which Public Office has The Donald held?

All this talk about "establishment" is a ruse, a flim-flam, a con game perpetrated by people like Bernie and Drumpf so as to pretend to be different, and with the people. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hilary, at least, is not pretending to be anything else but part of the "establishment," the so-called status quo.
Yes, Bernie does say he's a progressive.....really!? Then why did he declare himself a democrat? And why did he run for president? And Mayor, and so forth.
All of these positions are a large part of the "establishment" regardless of
ideology. Sure, Bernie marched with civil rights leaders and protested, but he decided to work within that very "establishment" and locked himself in with the rest of them. The Donald doesn't have a clue what he's doing; he's just doing his "puppet" thing and repeating what he's told. He actually thinks he's going to run things in the White House. Good luck with that.
SGG
Just because you believe that Progressives, or Socialists, or Communists are status quo does not mean it is so. Hilliary can still be recognized as status quo because when she is revealed as a Socialist or Communist she still denies these facts.

He is appalled by Trump’s anti-free trade rhetoric that he says could lead to a trade war. Hillary Clinton probably has a better grasp of things, Stein thinks. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, is “willfully ignorant”.
“I have seen a lot of elections and I have never seen anything like this. It seems to me it is a testament to the complete collapse of education that people can have such preposterous policies as an end to free trade and think that’s going to help America. It’s just startling that: a) the candidates know so little and; b) that the voters have not been better informed about this. The American education system is in a state of freefall collapse so that certainly explains a lot,” he says.
Have you seen ben Stein's wonderful documentary "Expelled" yet?

Keep in mind that is taxable INCOME, not accumulated wealth.

Quote:His income is pretty substantial, but he takes advantage of fancy tax accounting to reduce his taxable income to approximately zero. This is why he doesn't want to release his tax returns. Even for his fans, this might seem a little obnoxious.

When it became public that Trump requested the tax credit last year, he naturally claimed it was all because of a city error and it was being fixed. Nothing is ever Donald's fault, after all. But guess what? It was NOT fixed. Trump is getting this year's $304 tax credit. Weird, huh? I mean, he had to apply for this credit, which means that Trump actively sought it out again, even though he said he doesn't want it and makes too much to qualify for it.

Trump really has no rebuttal to this ad:
Americans and Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

So, how is that any worse than "We came, we saw, he died" *laughter* ?
Just a a reminder... along with some other Hillary jackups of foreign people.
When did Trump ever start a war? Hillary OTOH regularly lets loose clusterfucks in Libya and elsewhere, causing tens of thousands of people to be killed. I think your sense of proportion is screwed up.
------
In the latest attack campaign on Trump, I see that people are once again calling Trump a "racist" for something which isn't racism. Unless people think being "Mexican" is a race. Or being "Muslim" is a race.
The question, which nobody seems to want to address is ... Where do your loyalties lie? Are you trying to benefit American citizens? Or are you more sympathetic to illegal and potential immigrants? People who attacked Trump supporters in San Jose, waving Mexican flags ... which BTW I saw here in LA too ... my god, if you're that fucking attached to Mexico, do us a favor and cross the border going the other way.
As far as the Hispanic judge is concerned ... he released documents on the Trump University lawsuit, not AFTER trial, not DURING trial, but BEFORE trial.
I did a quick search on "release of documents before trial", and while I found cite after cite of documents released AFTER trial, this was the only one where documents were released BEFORE trial. I think someone with more time and resources than I (ie like a LexisNexis subscription) should do an investigation and see whether pre-trial records release is common overall, and whether or not the judge has ever done it before or did he make an exception in this one case. Because if these seems to be an exceptional procedure then -yes- the judge should recuse himself from the case because of demonstrated bias.

You can't build a nation with bombs. You can't create a society with guns.

Quote:Hillary and Trump have started the same number of wars. It's either Bush's or Obama's wars, not Trump's or Hillary's. I suppose Trump could have denounced Bush and resigned from the Republican party. That's as reasonable as Hillary resigning from the State Department in protest of what Obama ordered the Defense Department to do. If you're a fan of Firefly, being a pacifist is out of character.

Donald Trump has issued a statement about his beef with Judge Curiel:
It is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage. I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent.
Unfortunate indeed. But no one has construed his comments that way. We've all construed them as a categorical attack on Curiel. That's because Trump has explicitly said that Curiel is "a hater" of "Mexican heritage" who is handing down unfair rulings because he dislikes Trump's anti-immigrant politics. "I think that's why he's doing it," he told Jake Tapper, just to make sure there was no question about it. Then this:
Due to what I believe are unfair and mistaken rulings in this case and the Judge’s reported associations with certain professional organizations, questions were raised regarding the Obama appointed Judge’s impartiality. It is a fair question. I hope it is not the case.
"Questions were raised." Golly. I wonder who raised them? No one knows, I suppose. But raised they were, and then Donald had no choice but to address them. But he really hopes these questions all turn out to be unfounded. Really. He does.
There it is. You have the whining, the lying, the passive voice rowback, and the faux sorrow that this has become such a divisive issue, all in just a few sentences. It's vintage Trump, folks.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R. Illinois, Un-Endorses Trump for President
Mark Kirk @MarkKirk tweets:
Given my military experience, Donald Trump does not have the temperament to command our military or our nuclear arsenal.
https://twitter.com/MarkKirk/status/740266906922438656
This might be the first time ever that a senator has un-endorsed a presidential candidate of his party. There have been plenty who never endorsed in the first place, but I'm not sure if anyone has ever endorsed and then taken it back.
