Internally debating whether this is a strawman fallacy or all-or-none fallacy. Leaning towards strawman, but I can be persuaded otherwise.

And I don't care if it is legal or not, $70K deduction for hair styling is not going to go over well with your typical american paying a hefty tax bill.
This might be the most significant thing. This plays right into the democratic narrative of wealthy billionaires easily gaming the system.
The other point is that the real reason he isn't paying any taxes is that his businesses are failing. Which is the real reason he didn't want his taxes open. The grifter never wants the world to see behind the facade."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Trump camp seeks extra debate rule: Third party inspectors to look for electronic devices in candidates' ears
Biden’s campaign manager called the Trump campaign’s request 'absurd'
President Trump is asking for an additional ground rule ahead of Tuesday night’s first presidential debate between himself and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But the Biden campaign is rejecting it.
Fox News has learned that the president’s re-election campaign wants the Biden campaign to allow a third party to inspect the ears of each debater for electronic devices or transmitters. The president has consented to this kind of inspection, but a source said the Biden campaign has declined the ear check.
[...]
Over the last several weeks, sources told Fox News, the former vice president's campaign has also requested two breaks -- one every 30 minutes -- to break up the 90-minute commercial-free program. But that request has been denied by their Trump counterparts, the sources said.
A Trump campaign source told Fox News that "our guy doesn't need breaks. He gives 90-minute speeches all the time."

Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostTough call, but I am going to go with strawman. Absolutely nobody claimed that vote-by-mail is 100% free of fraud, but here he is arguing against that point anyway.
It will be interesting to see what happens to mail-in voting when the GOP'ers grow a brain and start doing their own ballot harvesting."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostSo mail-in ballots are completely safe from fraud? Thanks, good to know that no one would ever even think about voting for other people using them. I was getting worried. Hey, why doesn't counties like Iraq using mail-in ballots instead using election ink? Seems less messy.

Originally posted by Moliere View PostHa! Definitely an old man ear. Given that Biden is older than dirt, he probably should have a hearing aid in during the debate. My bike is that Biden turns this into a yawner of a show, meaning he gets through it without tripping up too much. The. No one will care about the next two debates and we can finally move on to voting out Trump.
