Joe Biden wants to know 'what in the hell' Trump is talking about
I don't know why he spoke of Reagan positively

 

When did Clinton even look smug? Feel like that claim/feeling is rooted in sexism.

 

What'd he say now?

 

Defended his Trump was on coke comment.

 

Not gonna lie, I double-taked and thought that was Justin Vernon.

 

Yeah. I do that a lot with white people.

 

What a strange world

 

poor Pepe, he's cool sucks that Nazis coopted him

 

The idea that getting out of taxes is smart and not just unethical is pretty fucking enraging

 

for the Lester Holt jokes: 2, 11 and 14 killed me.

 

democrats are very thirsty to earn the endorsements of horrible republicans, even those that are dead

 

I've got so much left over Pad Thai from last night.

 

people advocate for the abdication of tax responsibilities all the time under the pretense that because loopholes exist, it is rational for any person or company to avoid them as much as possible. happens in this thread sometimes, even.

 

personally i advocate poor people dodging taxes. i advocate rich ppl being made into not rich ppl

 

Sounds like some Chorus deplorables

 

I've never seen anyone advocate for the abdication of tax responsibility, but the exact opposite: pay what you owe in taxes. I'd like to know what Trump owed in taxes, what he paid, if he did any of it illegally (given his foundation, that's definitely in play), and where his debts and assets currently are stacked up. This, for one reason because of his unwillingness to put his assets in a blind trust, are things I think voters should know. I'd also like to know how his proposed tax plan will personally impact him and learn things like how charitable he is as well. I expect his effective tax rate to be very low. I am curious how low when we can compare that to his making comments about others not paying income tax. If he's not paying income tax, I'd like to discuss the charge he makes against others that aren't making enough money to pay an income tax and what he really thinks "fair share" means and what his tax plan is actually going to be able to accomplish.

Tax evasion or fraud is another charge altogether. It's illegal.

 

We counted: Donald Trump lied at least 58 times during the first presidential debate.

"Trump lied when he called his lies 'facts.'" lol

 

I don't know what this is in reference to?

 

I'm trying not to laugh at this and not doing a good job.
