well megyn kelly is a shill for the right, who sometimes throws fastballs at trump just to appear credible, or balanced or something.

the media has a lot of people who despise trump & mix fact journalism with advocacy journalism. dumb people, & young people who dont yet know better, are prone to being brainwashed by leftism that simply sounds like the truth to them. i suspect you are one of the dupes. I would offer you a red pill to see the full truth. but you will take the blue one.

:)

it's FOX news so i don't pay attention to it, and i don't believe she's ever had any journalistic credibity. i have paid attention to studies that confirm the media bias against Trump.

you don't recall the major news outlet refusing to even cover Trump?

the criticism of him by the press has been very heavy. not saying that's a bad thing, i am saying it's simply inaccurate to claim the press is on his side. the press isn't on hillary's side either. she steers clear of the press and calls the shots on her interactions with the press. Trump is the exact opposite, he'll talk to any and all press, he doesn't give a shit if they spin it like rochard does, it's free press for him, $2 billion worth at last count a month or so ago. obviously, the heavy criticism attack of him isn't working. that's what i've been trying to tell liberals all along, he's not a joke candidate, in spite of all the negative press, he's winning.

this also:

the next 5+ months are going to get very ugly for the clintons and hillary, as some serious shit is starting to leak out about billy that's going to be very ugly for them. if Trump not showing his tax report is all they have on him, yawn.

this new shit is bad news bear for hillary, and the final nail in the coffin for her will be her husband, the alleged pedophile rapist.

rochard, you haven't been following the brouhaha on the nyt hit piece on Trump? the one where they spun the interviews to cast a disparaging light on Trump only to have the star interviewee go public stating the NYT spun her story negatively about Trump?

:::::::::::::
It was the most predictable thing, and for me, a very familiar thing as well. The New York Times, which might as well be the official newsletter of the Democrat Party and the Hillary campaign, goes around and interviews every woman it can find who?s ever had contact with Donald Trump ? then writes a story that drips with implication he treats them boorishly and in a sexist manner.

But there?s one problem: Their star witness immediately came forward and said the Times completely misrepresented what she told them. Case in point: She showed up at a pool party Trump hosted without a swimsuit, so he offered her one and suggested she changed into it. How does the Times present that? They tell us Trump ?suggested she change out of her clothes.?

New York Times hit piece on Trump feels awfully familiar | Canada Free Press

whoops

The Arkansas woman who says Bill Clinton raped her in a Little Rock hotel room in 1978 is calling on The New York Times to devote the same amount of time to investigating sexual assault claims against the former president as it has allegations of Donald Trump’s mistreatment of women.

Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing executive, issued the suggestion in a Twitter post on Wednesday and also told The Daily Caller that The Times has not contacted her about her story.

whoops

An investigation into official flight records of financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express” are once again dragging former President Bill Clinton into the national spotlight.

Flight logs obtained by Gawker in January 2015 put Mr. Clinton on the billionaire’s infamous jet more than a dozen times — sometimes with a woman whom federal prosecutors suspect of procuring underage sex victims for Mr. Epstein. Fox News reported Friday that records show Mr. Clinton declined Secret Service protection on at least five flights.

The network’s investigation reveals Mr. Clinton flew on the Boeing 727 “Lolita Express” 26 times, more than doubling the previously reported 11 trips.

“Bill Clinton … associated with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was a pedophile. "

Bill Clinton ditched Secret Service on multiple Lolita Express flights: Report - Washington Times

Doesn't Trump know that you cannot hide anything. Eventually it will all come out.

The State Department released some fifty thousand emails and yet not one thing is embarrassing. (Pretty obvious they didn't look hard enough.) Yet Trump is hiding his tax returns? LOL.

What is he hiding?

The last 3 years Trump has been receiving a tax credit for households earning less than $500k a year and his spokesmen Lewandowski confirmed it's true.

http://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2016-03-09/trump-received-tax-credit-for-middle-class-taxpayers

So a billionaire is claiming he made less than $500k a year?

I've been telling you all for years - rich people don't pay taxes. I don't consider myself rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I write everything I can.

This is what Trump doesn't understand.... No cared about what he did behind closed doors as a business man. But now as a candidate it's all going to come out in public. What he did wasn't wrong, but when the average citizen discovers Trump is making tens of millions or hundreds of millions a year and only claiming less than $500k on his taxes.... People are gonna be pissed.

The IRS should be abolished it's an absolute scam. We pay taxes on EVERYTHING no reason to have all the headache of a game that changes every year for a final government gotcha money grab once a year.

someone has to pay for liberal income redistribution schemes. if you dont like it take it up with hilary.

I agree with you.

Minte built a $250k fountain for his business and then wrote that off of his taxes. It's insane what we can write off.

Any new structure that's erected in downtown Los Angeles is required BY LAW to spend >5% of the building cost on beautifying the area with fountains,art work, sculpture, and plants, all of which is also a tax write off.

Not everywhere needs to look like shithole central California

no, halfwit. The media didn't print the truth. Romney's taxes showed that he made a lot of money and gave a lot of money away.

After that hatchet job, no one of any intelligence would release their taxes.

"Concise and correct.

You have problems. The "fill in the blank" people are a big cause of those problems. Things can be great again like your nostalgic memories in which most of the bad stuff has become less bad over time. To be great again you need to X the "fill in the blank" people.

Time tested formula.

So how could they do a hatchet job?

Unless he gave the money away to dodge paying taxes to charities that weren't legit.

Maybe in America the media can take something legit and lie about it. Here in Europe we look deeper.

Oh, I disagree with that. The Freedom of the Press here is stunning, and they can abuse to find things that don't exist.

The story went something like this:
Romney made 50 million last year but only paid an effective tax rate of 12% by using a loophole for giving money to charity.

Meanwhile, he gave away 15 million to charity.

And no, in europe they do the same nonsense. The public is just less aware of being lied to over there.

Horseshit.
Actually he was praised for taking less deduction that he was entitled to. No-one scrutinized him.

Romney paid 14% effective tax rate in 2011 - Sep. 21, 2012

You think Trump will actually get away with never proving his returns? Or you think his tax people are working overtime ammending them so when they release them the doctored ones make him look like a saint? :D

But... There is a catch with this. What charities did he give to?

My kid's sports league is a non profit, which means donations are tax deductible. So any fees I pay to the league are in fact tax deductible. $600 for a new uniform? Sure, "no problem". (Damn kids are expensive.)

My point isn't that Romney did wrong; I am just not caring. Our tax system is so freaking stupid.

And in the case of Trump, you know damn well he was overly aggressive with his taxes and when it comes out it will look bad. And it will come out, a little at a time.

I think he will continue to bs his way through. Once Hillary unleashes commercials about his mistresses, bankruptcies etc his taxes will be the least of his problems.

If you look at this from a liability standpoint....

Hillary has the email scandal (which still amounts to nothing) and ten investigations into Benghazi which has resulted in, well, nothing.

Trump.... every business deal he has ever made, every woman he has ever dated, every time he went on Howard Stern and said something dumb.... his taxes.... All of that is going to come out.

If Hillary was smart..... I won't go so far as to say she is smart, but clearly she understands politics - not to mention her husband was President.... All she has to do is dig up the dirt and bring it up one thing at a time, keeping Trump running from one scandal to another, with Hillary controlling the news cycle....

no worries never-trumpsters, the felon will beat him. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You mean the felon who has never been charged with anything?

I don't really like Hillary, but man... The Republicans got nothing on her.

The key is, what charities he contributed to.

There are more ways to dodge taxes than charities. The biggest one is tax havens. France is taking Google to task over their funneling of profits to Bermuda.

While he doesn't release them, which he has said he would, the voters are left to make their mind up. Those who think it doesn't matter if he paid a lower % than they pay. Fine, they would vote for him if the Government gave him back all the money. The undecided, who are the key to winning, believe he's hiding something.

We are constantly told about tax dodgers. Read the British News.

https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ax-authorities

again, idiot, Romney didn't dodge taxes and neither did Trump.

he stated he never received inheritance from his parents, but he did, and donated the money to a school that had his fathers name.. and either clarified about not using money from his parents etc

Romney is a strange part of american politics.. for example, obamacare is basically the same thing that Romney suggested.. what was called 'Romney Care' at the time

There's no catch except the ones created by the media and eaten up by the rabble.
Romney gave money to his church and other charities everyone else gives to. He just gave considerably more.

which is why Trump would be wise to not release his tax returns. Every one of his deductions will be called a loophole and the rabble will eat it up.

Trump not only got an inheritance, he also got entire projects funded by his parents. If I recall correctly there was multiple real estate investments while he was still in college. They were apartment complexes or condo units; His parents bought them for him, paid for the repairs and upgrades, and he sold them and made a nice profit.

You can't say he is a good business man. His parents helped him make hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions before he was legal drinking age - and that was back in the late 1970s. His parents gave him the initial investments, helped him make tons of money, and gave him the contacts to do more of the same. Then with the inheritance he was set for life. He couldn't really fail, yet he did - multiple times. Trump has been through bankruptcies four times. With other projects when he fails, he doesn't lose money - his investors do.

so according to rochard science, tiger woods was never a good golfer. his dad set him up with everything. money to pay for clubs membership fees, gave his son lessons, guidance...what a terrible thing that parents help their kid get a step up in life.

your so stupid. why do i bother with you. :mad:

If I recall correctly (and I say this a lot on GFY)... Romney gave A LOT of money to his church and various other charities.

And this is exactly why Trump won't release his tax forms. Most likely he hasn't donated anything.

Trump claims "He supports veterans" but yet.... I don't see this. Ten years ago before he stared running for office, did he attend a single funeral for for a service member that died in combat? Did he donate any money? Hold any charity events? I am guessing no.

On the flip side, did Hillary? I am not saying "Hillary is great" but instead asking a serious question. After leaving the White House and before she became a Senator, did she ever attend a funeral or a charity event for Veterans? I am guessing she didn't either.

Thankfully Trump isn't wise.

He's backed into a corner.

The common voter relates to taxes & perceived wealth and Trump brags about being rich. Release them, he's bait. Don't release them, he's untrustworthy. Either way his claims of extreme wealth are scrutinized.

Remember that press conference After his Michigan win where he had all the Trump steaks ( defunct - meat was bought from the local butcher ), Trump burgers ( defunct - meat was bought from the local butcher ) , and Trump magazine ( defunct - last issue published in 2009 )? Trump has a serious mental defect and is emotionally unstable.

Every day a new clip is released of Trump the day, year, decade before contradicting himself.

right. making him a very charitable rich guy, not a tax dodger using loop holes as the rabble and press made him out to be.

so? very very few people will base their vote on that.
Again, its a non issue but as soon as he releases his taxes, all of these non-issues will be shouted from the rooftops to rouse the rabble. By not releasing his taxes, he's allowing the rabble to be roused now, well before the election. making the arousal ineffective.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...eterans-group/

He waited until Corey Lewandowski was grilled on a news program about it, then suddenly donated the money finally. And of course, Mr Lewandowski came off like total dick as he lied and said Trump donated $1million -- a day before he actually gave it.

What a fucking sleaze.

Non issue

Trump also said he had never actually promised that the fundraiser had raised $6 million. ?I didn?t say six,? he said.

But, in video of the event, Trump tells the crowd, ?We just cracked $6 million! Right? $6 million."

-------

Next thing we'll here is "I never said I was worth $10 Billion, it's always been (fill in the blank)"

I disagree.... At one point Trump made a big point of saying he supported Veterans. He didn't give a rat's ass about supporting Veterans or anyone in the military until AFTER he became a politician. That's going to be a huge issue for a lot of Vets.

Doesn't matter. Seems Trump has pissed off every other group out there, might as well piss off the Veterans too.

He's probably like a lot of businessmen, especially those on the Right. Minimises his taxes legally to the extreme. Then bitches about the debt, the over spending, the State of everything and even the fact that not enough people in the US can buy his products. Taxes keep the money in the system, except with expensive wars and giving big business money to rebuild what big business has destroyed with their bombs.

Taxes go to fund al the projects that employ people. Tax Havens are ways to make sure less are employed in the country big business expects to earn a living from.

As for Healthcare. There's a prime example of how big business tears Americans a new ass on an annual basis.

Avoid or evade?

Comes down to the same thing. They make sure they make their money in a country, they do little to pay for.

They rely on dumb fucks like you to pay the taxes and soak up the debt.

no halfwit, avoid and evade are not the same thing unless your the penniless bottom trying to sound like you have a clue.

you're free to disagree. I'm right.

Military Times survey: Troops prefer Trump to Clinton by a huge margin

Seems you do not understand the difference between active duty military and Veterans.

Our military has always leaned Republican. I was too when I was in the military; I was a hardcore Republican. "The Gipper was going to beat the Communists" and all that nonsense.

Most people in the United States do this, if they know how.

The problem is when you are making hundreds of millions of dollars (like Trump claims) and making it look like you are making nothing... I think that should be illegal.

That analogy doesn't rub right :2 cents:

Thanks for the bump. I figured out why he doesn't want to release his taxes.

It's simple.

Seems at one point Trump received $150k from a fund to "help small businesses recover from 9/11" in NYC.

Utterly fucking amazing.

And you know that is the tip of the iceburg kids.

Not surprising great find!

Oh, there is more coming. I said it above in this very thread.

I am not a Hillary supporter. Could care less really. For me it's a matter of "anyone other than Trump".

With that said, we've vetted Hillary. We vetted her when she went to work for the State Department, and before then when she ran for President. Because of the questions about her emails, she has released over fifty thousand emails and to date no one has found anything remotely damaging. Combined with the ten Benghazi investigations.... Hillary Clinton is most likely the most vetted candidate in American history.

Trump is a businessman who doesn't seem to understand how politics works. In the past, Trump could go on Howard Stern and say what he wanted, and Trump could care less what Betty Sue Sutton from Clinton, New Jersey thinks about him. Because it didn't matter what Betty Sue Sutton thought. Trump didn't need to win her over, he only needed to win over a handful of people in the boardroom. Now the question is how many times has Trump been on Howard Stern, and what dumb things did he say? It was a huge deal with Bill Clinton said "He never inhaled"; Imagine what Trump is going to face.

Not to mention Trump has been in court over 3500 times; That's potentially 3500 times he is on record of saying something in a legally binding courtroom.

Right now we are finally discussing Trump University. Trump is trying to play this off like it's no big deal but it is; This is going to trail no matter what.

(imagine what happens when he doesn't win the election.... A huge loss followed by a trial.)
