Trump: Biden Will "listen to the scientists"

newtboy says...

Aaaahahaha. Jesus you're getting desperate, little Bobby.

Yes, I would trust Biden over biggest loser, Donny low T, with my money. Only one of the two can't even afford his lawyers and may lose dozens of cases because of it, like suing ex administration officials for violating ndas, multiple rape charges, multiple fraud cases, tax fraud cases, bank fraud cases, campaign finance fraud cases.... better mortgage your life to the hilt and give it to little Donny low T, he needs every penny.

Trump is broke, in massive debt to multiple foreign powers and is by his own admission the worst business man in the country with the biggest losses many years running....like another tax fraud where he filed for a $750 million refund for losses he caused a company he had been tossed out of...I think the Taj Mahal. (BTW, that is the "audit" he hides behind, a tax fraud case for $750 million stolen from the IRS through fraud...Not an actual audit of his recent taxes....but since every disclosure to different agencies claims massively different values for assets, debts, obligations, and credit lines, he cannot let them be published because the frauds would be blatantly obvious.)

Now a question for you, Bobski....which would you trust your teenaged daughter with? The lecherous rapist of teenaged girls, or Biden? (Note, she won't get paid for getting raped either, since Trump's broke.)

Trump Tax Bombshell Reveals How the System Is Rigged

newtboy says...

Um....yeah.....not really.
He filed late, using every possible delay tactic, then when he filed he paid $750, not the millions in estimated tax liability. His income tax WAS $750. I'm guessing the $5.2 million were those estimated taxes which he didn't pay in the end, or payroll taxes, or other taxes, but not income tax. Exactly what your quote says.
His payments wouldn't roll forwards, they would go to pay for the $75 million refund he improperly claimed for losses at Taj Mahal after he was thrown out. That's what he keep calling an audit, he's being sued to return the fraudulent tax refund he took. His total outstanding debt to the federal government is estimated at $100000000.

Edit: What I think you mean is the tax write off credits/capitol losses from his enormous losses carry over. That's different from him making any "payments".

No, they don't reveal NEW connections to Russia, they do however confirm some of the old connections he's denied.

The whole premise is to allow the public to understand who the man is, they did. He's a fraud who's debts likely outweigh his assets.

Chaucer said:

Seth once again proving how big of a moron his is. NYTimes clearly crafted the article to sound like he only paid $750, but those were his tax liability fees.....what people are failing to read is that in the very same smear article, he actually paid $5.2 million.
"Each time, he requested an extension to file his 1040; and each time, he made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe — $1 million for 2016 and $4.2 million for 2017. But virtually all of that liability was washed away when he eventually filed, and most of the payments were rolled forward to cover potential taxes in future years." - NYTimes.
and at the very end of the NYTimes article indicates "Nor do they reveal any previously unreported connections to Russia"
wasn't the whole premise of releasing his tax returns was because there were ties to russian collusion?

Karl Pilkington - anyone confused? (British Talk Post)

dannym3141 says...

A lot of the idiot abroad series is tame compared to the podcasts and radio shows. Karl isn't putting anything on (except for the 5% hamming it up bit), but gervais is laughing extra hard because - well, he has to, he made a comedy tv show about it.

The china one was alright, the taj mahal one was hilarious, but the latest one at petra was really tame. But that's from the perspective of someone who knows him. Anyone who knows him will watch them all and find something to laugh at, people who don't mind not even see it as funny.

For example in the petra one, he was telling a story about getting blackmailed into going to church and getting kicked out for bouncing a ball in the aisle. On the podcasts, not only is it told funnier, but gervais/merchant are riffing off it and he goes off on tangents about the people in the story, whose stories are even more outlandish and weird than the first.

Some snippets of the stories he's told about where he lived:
His school used to make them correct travel magazine print errors for a little earner, making them think it was a class exercise
His neighbor had a horse that lived in their house (in the middle of a city)
His friend lives in a hole underground which he dug in a field because he 'wanted to live like in the army'
Woman who spoke to everyone through a mirror
Woman with a strange looking head
2 kids at his school who had very big heads and webbed hands
His uncle used to use a rubber dinghy as a bed
the list goes on........>> ^dag:

quality explanation. I don't always enjoy Karl as much as Ricky seems to. It does seem to be a bit put on at times.

Victim Blame - Rationalizing The Opposition To Healthcare

quantumushroom says...

^ I'll speak for myself, thanks, you can think whatever you like.

By liberal logic, a taxpayer who opposes a 200-million-dollar firehouse that looks like the Taj Mahal (Obamacare) to serve a community of less than 1000 people must obviously be for random fires destroying homes.

Speaking of victimhood, don't power-hungry liberals get votes by telling minorities they are permanent victims of racism, sexism and capitalism and that these "oppressed" groups can't make it without their (government) help?

The fear here is fear of a tyrannical leviathan government. You are foolish if you think the 900lb gorilla is under your control because of your yarn leash of good intentions around its neck.

And bankrupt Air America Radio has no one to blame but themselves for their shitty ratings.

25 Random things about me... (Blog Entry by youdiejoe)

kagenin says...

Yeah, I know it's been a while since someone last posted here, but I feel like sharing.

1) I was once ranked in the top 150 ExpertCTF for Quake2 players in the world by TheCLQ.com, and I did it on dial-up.

2) I am only a few credits shy of getting an AA. I don't consider myself a drop-out, but it has been a very long time since I was in school.

3) Every girl I've been with ranks me somewhere between "really awesome" and "the best they ever had" in bed.

4) I once got my car stuck in the middle of Tahoe National Forest.

5) I used to be a boy scout.

6) Both my girlfriend and I have an aversion to using firearms.

7) I sleep with a very sharp 18" black ninja sword next to my bed.

I once did security for a Taj Mahal concert. I got him and his band to sign my badge.

9) Like many other sifters I've also worked in community theater, mostly backstage work.

10) I've studied martial arts off and on, since I was 8. I have 4 years of experience in American Kempo Karate (the stuff Ed Parker taught Elvis), and 4 years of Aikido training. Aikido had a bigger impact on my life.

11) When I was in 8th grade, my Odyssey of the Mind team came in Second place in regional competition. Only our teacher's team did better than us in our category. I wore a tiger costume (an orange jumpsuit I made, and then drew stripes on).

12) For about 4 years, I worked in a place Mark Twain, and two presidents once slept.

13) My parents own a Yellow-naped Green Amazon parrot. I'll likely inherit him. He's been in the family since I was in 4th grade.

14) I have never had any urge to join the military.

15) I've walked through the red light district in Amsterdam.

16) As a waiter, I once served the author of Schindler's List.

17) I've had long hair for most of my life.

18) I enjoy dueling friends using a Shinai - a traditional bamboo training sword.

19) I'm addicted to Yahoo! Answers. It's sad, but there's so many noobs who need schooling. I got to level 6 answering a bunch of the same questions in the Wii category.

20) I used to have a pet Goose.

21) I didn't sleep at all last night.

22) I was told many times growing up I could have been a model. I would rather be known for contributing something more to the world than just my looks, though, so I never pursued it.

23) I have mastered the head-stall footbag technique.

24) I don't kick footbag as much since rolling my ankle a couple years ago.

25) When I was in 1st grade, my dad would sometimes guest host for a friend's late night community radio program. The couple times he took me along were awesome.

India To Sue Bangladesh over Taj Mahal

nomino says...

The Indian embassy in Bangladesh has voiced its displeasure over the exact copy - and is hoping to sue for copyright infringement.

A spokesman at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka fumed: "You can't just go and copy historical monuments.

"Someone will go out there and have a look. The reports we are reading say it is an exact replica."

The £38m building, commissioned by wealthy director Ahsanullah Moni, will be located about 20 miles north east of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.

Construction began five years ago but Mr Moni says he came up with the idea in 1980 after first visiting the original "Monument to Love" in Agra, India.

He has imported marble and granite from Italy, diamonds from Belgium and used 160kg of bronze for the dome.

In support of his project, he said: "Everyone dreams about seeing the Taj Mahal but very few Bangladeshis can make the trip because it's too expensive for them."

Ali Farka Touré - Diaraby (African Desert Blues)

jonny says...

Scorsese's quote is out of context for me, so I may be missing something important, but the notion that Blues is somehow purely derived from west African music is ludicrous. It completely ignores the influence of Scottish/Irish ballads sung throughout Appalachia, stride piano and ragtime, and numerous other "American" influences. Of course they are related, and the notion of them as cousins seems appropriate - they evolved simultaneously, and more recently have fed upon each other wonderfully. Listen to any Taj Mahal recordings and this should be clear.

Citation Runway over shoot into Atlantic City Bay

LadyBug says...

definitely spotted AC in the distance (taj mahal & cesaers were the give away) ... this is the atlantic city bay. this happened may of last year.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A small corporate jet landing in Atlantic City ran off the runway when its brakes failed, careening into a bay. None of the four people on board - rescued by a boater and some residents - were seriously injured. The Charlie Cessna Citation C-25A crashed about 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Bader Field Airport, authorities said.

The pilot, co-pilot and two passengers - all residents of Denmark in Atlantic City for a convention - were returning from a trip to Burlington, Vt. They were taken to a hospital where they were treated and released Sunday night.

An unidentified boater fishing in the area pulled the co-pilot and the two passengers from the jet. Some area residents who saw the crash used a small boat to reach the pilot. One of the residents, Joe Clark, told the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill that the pilot was "calm but concerned with the plane.''

Clark said he thought about using the boat to tow the jet closer to the docks but he abandoned that idea when one of the aircraft's engines suddenly revved up, causing flames and smoke to shoot out.

"I thought it was going to blow up,'' Clark said.

The 10-passenger jet, owned by Weibel Scientific Inc. of Denmark, was expected to be towed away sometime Monday. A company spokesman declined comment on the crash, which is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board and state police.
