Cherry 1,302 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Exactly. That's why it's on the backs of small businesses and middle class people to pay the biggest burden of taxes. We allow crony capitalism through types like Clinton. Make it at most 15% business tax and eliminate loopholes. Edited October 2, 2016 by 2-14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Bernie Sanders came out and said that Hillary Clinton was 100% correct in her generalization of his voters. He also spun it to be less condescending. Biggest sellout in recent American politics. Although to his defense, Hillary Clinton and her campaign would probably have him murdered if he didn't comply -- so I can't completely blame him. Bernie the SelloutAlso, apparently WikiLeaks had a big announcement on Tuesday and other social media people were predicting that Hillary Clinton's campaign will be brought to a halt (probably an exaggeration, of course). They then canceled said announcement because of security concerns. I don't know what WikiLeaks has and the cat and mouse game is getting annoying... but just like Sanders, Assange's life is probably very much at risk -- so there is only so much criticism that I can levy.

blotsfan 2,112 Posted October 4, 2016 I read a good point. If you assume that the $915 million dollar loss isn't accounting bullshit, why would you consider Trump a good businessman? That happened at a time when the economy (especially real estate) was doing great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted October 4, 2016 Just vote for Gary Johnson guys, seriously. He's the most qualified, least crazy and least corrupt. But we live in a country of sheep who blindly believe that it's only Republican or Democrat without questioning why. Hopefully he can get on a debate and show people there is a legitimate 3rd option. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted October 5, 2016 I think a good chunk of Gary Johnson is him intentionally saying dumb shit because its the only way he gets attention. I think the rest of it is why you probably shouldn't show up to interviews high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted October 5, 2016 Gary Johnson is in the 20%'s in both New Mexico (his homestate) and Utah... If he could somehow win both of those, we could see a Presidential election where neither candidate hits the required number of electoral votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he could somehow win both of those, we could see a Presidential election where neither candidate hits the required number of electoral votes. Utah is incredibly unlikely though because its such a republican state. Even with how Johnson is doing, Trump still has over 50%. He's doing poorly for a republican in Utah, but not so poorly that he could lose. New Mexico seems pretty solid for Hillary now, but it seems possible that Johnson could steal enough votes from Hillary that it turns into a Trump win. However, if all other polling holds Hillary would still win without New Mexico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos 2,847 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Your candidate says worse shit every time he opens his mouth, lmao. Lmao, like in the 2005 audio that was released today, where he claims that he can just "grab women by the pussy" and since he's a star they'll let him do it.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted October 8, 2016 WikiLeaks has released what they claim to be emails and speech transcripts that were previously private of Hillary's engagements / speech arrangements with big banks and the top 1%. The statements by Clinton, which were gleaned from documents that have yet to be authenticated by The Daily Beast, were made in private settings to big banks and Wall Street firms. The speeches appear to paint her in the worst possible light: two-faced, out of touch, secretive and subservient to Wall Street. And in the most explicit way possible, validate Bernie Sanders’ criticisms of her during the Democratic primary. “How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works? And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry,” she allegedly said. In another instance, Clinton appears to acknowledge that she’s out of touch: “I’m kind of far removed” from the struggles of the middle class and “growing sense of anxiety and even anger in the country” because of the “fortunes” that she and former President Bill Clinton currently enjoy. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/07/leaked-podesta-emails-show-bernie-was-right.html?source=TDB&via=FB_Page A lot more in the link...

blotsfan 2,112 Posted October 8, 2016 Since I guess no one posted this. A video of Trump essentially saying he regularly gropes women without consent has been leaked from 2005. Trump has been accused of sexual assault plenty of times (even has said husbands can't rape their wives), but having actual audio of it seems to be making a big difference in terms of reaction. Its so bad that for the first time I can remember, Trump has apologized for something he's said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted October 8, 2016 She has to omit different words from select parts of his apology to get the interpretation she wants. Both her and Trump have an agenda with their comments. Reading her tweets (all of them, not just those) makes me cringe about as much as Trump's twitter account. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted October 8, 2016 I don't get how this is a surprise, we didn't learn anything new about Trump, I understand that actually hearing the words can give it a bigger impact, but nobody should be surprised that Trump is a womanizing prick in private, the guy's a womanizing prick in public. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
