This refusal to release his taxes bothers me but not as much the excuse that he's being audited. As an accountant with more than a few decades, I mean years, of experience I can assure everybody that there is absolutely nothing about being audited that precludes making your returns public. Unless of course you're in the process of bribing your auditor.

Yeah, that's the crazy thing. There's probably nothing overly bad or illegal there, just something he personally would find embarrassing if people knew. He puts way too much stock in his wealth and how rich he is, as if that matters... though apparently it does influence some voters. So if he wasn't as super rich as he'd been making out, if he's in more debt than he'd like people to know... then he'd be embarrassed, even if there is nothing foul there.

Also loved the look the one guy gave when Trump talked how he was being audited because he's a strong Christian and it's a bias. Boy... he knows how to play his voters into utter BS.

I care.
I'm concerned.
I want to see which countries he's in debt to and which give him how much and for what.
I want to see what holdings he has in other countries so we can be sure he divests in all of them or is impeached if he doesn't.
I want to know how badly he ran his charity, and what other laws he broke with it besides what he's already admitted.
I want to know how much he duped people for with his fake college and if the $25 million fine was a significant portion of his ill gotten profits or not.
There's a ton we could learn from his taxes, and there's no excuse for not releasing them, audit or not. He's made such a big deal of allegedly being audited, but can't explain how it makes releasing them unwise...the IRS already has them, where's the possible harm? Clearly it appears there's something to hide, not something he's proud of, or nothing would stop him from showing them off and bragging.

Your video, Liam Neeson Auditions For Mall Santa Claus, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I have to strongly disagree with her last points on the recounts in Wisconsin etc - if there's an appearance that the results are in any way suspect, a recount is entirely reasonable. It's quite well established that many of the electronic voting machines in use throughout the country are in fact vulnerable to tampering, and if we can document any instances of that actually occurring that's only for the good. We *shouldn't* have full faith in election results when they're susceptible to manipulation, and should audit them regularly (either when things smell funny or just randomly).

Apparently when she passed the pre-audition, they asked her religion. She said 'none' and then she thinks the judges scripted it so that she would be made an object lesson.

Here is a sample of her singing.

Wait a second....he was told they weren't looking for an Asian actor for the lead role in Death Note...or they weren't looking for 'any' actor for the role?

It seems unlikely that the Death Note film got greenlit without a short list of actors for the lead role. Regardless of whether the actor they choose turns out to be Asian or not, I'm pretty sure they weren't looking for random actors to audition.

Oblivious to the issue? Or just "there is no issue"?

The exclusion of an Asian actor from auditioning for Death Note strikes me as wrong, but if the director is going for a certain aesthetic, it's hardly racial discrimination.

But irt GITS, Johanssen fits the aesthetic. Most of those asked noted that she resembled anime characters ergo it's fine. Seems to me that the furor is a bunch of white people deciding that because something was made in Japan, that it must be interpreted as "Japanese actors only", when even the Japanese see anime as apart from their own racial distinctiveness...

If the culture that produced the original IP doesn't have a problem with non-Japanese actors playing the role, isn't it a tad presumptuous for white people to get offended about it? \= )

Bit of a storm in a teacup really.

This is shocking to me. I've been to the SFSU campus many, many times for work-related reasons and I even audited some classes there while attending a different school. The student population was incredibly diverse and pro-inclusive of pretty much everyone at the time. There was, in fact, a white girl with dreadlocks in one of my classes and no one batted an eyelash.

I mean, their student union is called Cesar Chavez Student Center and the main entrance to it is through Malcom X Plaza for chrissake. It's kind of unimaginable to me that something like this would take place there.

He has the best words, but he can't let you hear them right now because they're being audited.

@ChaosEngine

if you are referring to the established political class,the pundit class and those with relative power and influence i would agree with your assertions.

which is pretty much what i am talking about.

if you look how ron paul was being treated by his own party and compare that treatment to sanders by the DNC,there are some glaring similarities.

while both paul and sanders have differing politics,they did align in a few areas i.e: audit the fed,citizens united,money in politics and restructuring the military to name a few.

they both had/have immensely popular grassroots support.ron paul garnering 20 million in small donations and sanders broke that record with 30 million.

they both held large rallies with high attendance.

they both had a populist flavor that appealed to their own political base.challenging the current corrupt power structures.

and they both have/had experienced a weird media blackout,even though they were/are incredibly popular with the voters.

now we can question WHY that is,but i don't think it too much a stretch to come to the conclusion that both candidates challenged the current power structures that dictate this countries dysfunctional and corrupt political system.add to that mix a paid propaganda pundit class that never challenges the current narrative,all put on display on corporate media which is owned by what? 5-6 entities? who just happen to be the biggest lobbyists in this country?

nader experienced pretty much the exact same treatment from the DNC in regards to media exposure and it went even further in his case with him being outright denied to some debates,or made to jump through almost insurmountable dictates to even get ON the debates.

so when i assert this is a well crafted and intentional practice by the parties,i do so with precedent.

because all three,nader,paul and sanders all had/have massive public support from the voters,but not their respective parties.

so when ron paul started to become a real thorn in the RNC,who did not want him anywhere near the nomination.they changed the tactic from ignoring or downplaying pauls message..to creating the "kook" myth.this was from his own party!!

nader received similar treatment,though in a different context.the establishment as a whole came out against him.

so what can we assume,based on previous tactics from these political parties in regards to sanders?when they can no longer ignore his popularity? his grassroots campaign donations? his rally attendances?

there will soon come a time when they can no longer ignore sanders and his grassroots success,and they will respond the exact same way they did with nader and paul.they will concoct a narrative that plays on peoples fears and biases and begin to portray sanders as an anti-capitalist "kook".that somehow him being a democratic socialist means the end of our civilization.just the word "socialist' makes many a republican wet their panties.

could i be wrong?
oh please god let me be wrong.
i happen to like much of what sanders is promoting,not everything,i have issues with some of what he proposes,but over-all i dig not only what he is saying but how he is going about conveying his message.

there is one huge problem if sanders gets the nod,and that is the support you mentioned.he has almost none in the legislature.which will make much of what he is trying to change in washington damn near impossible.

which will create it own political mess and just create fodder for the pundit class to ineffectually pontificate on,just so they can have a job.

i think it would be such a great thing for this country if sanders got the nomination,but the establishment has already made its intentions clear:they dont want sanders,they want hillary.the establishment does not play by the rules nor do they play nice.

playing by the rules and being decent is for the peasant class.

hope i am wrong.
i hope that every single point i made will never occur.
i hope that sanders gets the nod and things may change,because this country needs a fucking enema.
but my cynicism really struggles with that kind of hopeful optimism.
