The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[byu71]

I am worried about poor Chelsea Clinton... If Hillary is elected she promises to pretty much suspend the Clinton family foundation. How is Chelsea going to make ends meet? How is she going to take the grandkid to see grandma without the clinton foundation private jet?

If you set up a family foundation maybe you shouldn't run for president.

I am not saying the Clintons would do this but it reminded me when I was with Price Waterhouse way back in the 70's. There were some major tax changes and we were sent to a tax seminar on the new laws. Not sure why I was sent, I was in the audit department.

One thing I remember is one of the presenters explaining why the tax code is so complicated. He indicated that oil tax breaks were changed except if your oil holdings were held in a Trust created between September and December of 1960 (dates are made up as my memory isn't good enough to remember the exact dates).

The question was asked as to why those dates are significant. No one could answer. He then went onto to tell us the chairman of the ways and means would not let the tax changes through unless his Trust was excluded from the changes.

Trump at 1-2% is currently doing worse among black voters than even Barry Goldwater in 64 (6%) even after coming out against civil rights legislation or even segregationist George Wallace (3%) in 68. Can't imagine why they aren't responding to the message that they all have horrible lives and live in the ghetto so they should vote for Trump because it can't get any worse. I mean, come on, who wouldn't be convinced by that condescension?

Oh, okay cool.


I was listening to Trump's speech yesterday, the one that included the Brexit leader, and he kept promising things that were seemingly at odds with each other. He will lower taxes on everyone, while at the same time rebuilding America's infrastructure, roads, bridges, airports, etc., using our labor, our companies, our steel [STEEL!]. Now he's going to fix poverty in America for all African Americans who are doing "so badly." All with less money!

He's going to borrow the money and then not pay it back, so we can be just like Greece. It's the only way he knows how. If 4 bankruptcies helped him build his empire it will work for the country as well!

Yeah but those other presidents and other countries sucked at making deals!

Trump already flip flopping on his flip flop

Anderson Cooper: So if they haven’t committed a crime is there going to be a path to legalization? I’m talking about citizenship.

Donald Trump: No there’s not a path to legalization unless people leave the country if they come back in and then they have to start paying taxes but there is no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back.

As long as Trump was doing a "standard retard," vs. a Serge-based retard, I'm okay with it.
