Aghh hah ..ahaha.

It's not funny, it is crazy tho. I mean there was a huge report detailing his many lied and fraudulent business practices, and look at how seriously people are taking it. It shows how Trump supporters will literally let him get away with anything because they only care about "pwning the libs" and liberals already knew about this stuff and just threw it on the pile of reasons Trump is a conman and unfit to be president.

You're right. No one says anything. It definitely hasn't been discussed to annoying levels

How could it be discussed to annoying levels when it just came out? And hello its a huge deal, it should be discussed way more. Not to mention I'm more referring to real life, not just CE.

Well people tend to understand that's a given when you're a billionaire. You can't be competitive enough to succeed like that when you play by the rules that no one else is playing by. You have to be exceptionally or conspicuously crooked to get people's attention.

If anything, it's been said so much that it's now just white noise. It's become part of the normalized discourse.

That's not true. The only thing that's proven is that Trump knows how to make the best deals.

The NYTimes article tc is referring to got completely ignored because of the focus on the Kavanaugh thing.

President Trump is fucking awesome.

Likely never see another POTUS this good in our life time.

Oh yeah, he's by far the best 45th president of the United States.

At the end of the day, its just retreading old ground

He was already known as a con-man before he even threw his hat in the ring. The point was brought up during the campaign and his response was that it makes me smart if he can successfully defraud someone.

This only makes things better for his ironic trigger the libs supporters because they only care about seeing Americas highest institutions and offices dishonored and drug through the mud. The worse it gets, the more they rejoice and cheer him on

And there will always be the base that is conditioned to die under the elephant banner even if the devil himself carried it (why do you think Republicans hate the education system and cut its funding every chance they get?)

I agree. Impeccable timing. Why can the masses barely focus on one thing at a time?

A fraud what? He turned his inheritance into a billion

Its the Snowden Effect - break huge news that people had speculated about and all of a sudden everyone goes oh yeah I already knew that guess it doesnt matter. Everyone assumed Trump had shady business practices, but half a billion dollars in tax fraud? Nope apparently no one cares about that.

What about when people were kissing the ground Obama walked on?

im actually surprised

i mean, trump voters knew exactly how trump was regarding things like the "grab em by the P" comment..so I get that those types of things will likely have no effect on their views. They knew what they signed up for and thats fine.

but considering the economic anxiety of the base, and the overall feeling of the game being rigged, I'm actually surprised this doesn't hurt him a bit more. I mean you'll always have that 30% on either side that'll just go with whatever their leader does.

Might have been a bigger story if there wasn't so much hoo hah about kavanaugh...might not have been the best politicking by the left but you never know.

Can't wait to see season 3...

They didnt even bother to come up with excuses for Trump on this one, they just sort of handwaved it away as sure sure thats what businessmen do. Like even if they believe that, these are the same people worried about illegal immigrants not paying taxes and their favorite person on earth just got exposed to have ducked millions in taxes.

But the cognitive dissonance keeps them from acknowledging this so we get weak deflections like...

But it's proven his entire empire is built on cons and lies. He's not a rich guy who cheated here and there he got rich by cheating as much as possible.

By stealing and not paying taxes. And even then he couldn't even out perform the market. Pathetic. And this is the one thing people cling to when they are trying to defend Trump's ability to lead the country.

Pathetic would be him being broke

But he will never go broke because he knows what he's doing

He couldnl have gone broke if the banks has decided to foreclose on him. But he owed so much more than he had it benefited them to keep him whole. So it's actually worse, he stole and couldn't out perform the market, and then the only reason he has any wealth is because the banks let him keep it.

Compared to the lies about being a great business man and having 10b dollars and making all these great deals, what he actually is is pathetic. If he had taken all the money he had got from his dad and put it in a mutual fund, he'd have more money now and wouldn't have fucked anyone over and woulda paid his taxes too. Most people would have made more money than he did. He's below average intelligence, which is bonkers.

Any sane person already knew that long before the election...

He turned 200 million into a billion?

Wow. What a self made hero. Adjusted to modern rates that money would still be worth over 600 million if it had just sat there doing nothing.

But the extent of the fraud and the tax evasion is mind boggling. I knew he was a dirty businessman but I didn't know that every single dollar he had was from cons and fraud. If he wasn't president right now he'd be going to jail.

He literally got sued for running a fake university before even becoming president.

Lol it wasn't a fake University, he wasn't claiming to give out degrees, it was a fake self help plan/seminar type thing. But yeah it was a fraud and he had to pay 25m and his supporters couldn't care less that he was ripping people off for pure profit.

"No one says anything"

Do you live in space

Everyone on Earth who isn't insane is saying he's a fraud and a horrible person

Trump is a liar and a cheat but you have to remember his reign is accomplishing what trolls, hard core religious and conservatives want, thanks to him they have control of the government for the next 40 years or more, a whole new slew loyal ignorant voters who hang on their every word, LGBT,Women and Minority rights and protections rolled back or in the process of being rolled back, no real accountability for fucking up environments, fucking over workers, fucking over an already messed up prison system, fucking over the public and even fucking over the nation's allies.

Every time I think about voting for Democrats, I read shit like this and their Twitter emotional meltdowns, and I remind myself of why I vote independent only.

But it's so much more than that. Hes lucky he's president, otherwise he'd be going to jail. And like I said, I knew he was a fraud before, but I had no idea the extent. He's literally all fraud and no business successes whatsoever.

Tbh I think Obama was right when he said things like Fox news turned the conservative base crazy and the establishment GOP lost control of them. I 100% blame Fox News. Trump isn't the disease, he's the symptom.

Why would that post have anything to do with voting Democrat? Even if it was as bad as you're making it out to be, it's not like a candidate wrote that.

If other people's posts in message boards are what's determining who you vote for, you're an idiot.

Because there are no independents that do that? Lol you can vote Democrat, just vote for the right Democrats. Or the right Republicans. Again, the actual candidates have nothing to do with the post you said caused you to not vote for them. It's be like me saying I was gonna vote indepdendent until I dated a chick who was an independent and she was a bitch. It's a non sequitur.

Yeah this is 100% true, acting like message board posts are the same as actual policy is ridiculous

We need to give Trump supporters an "out." That goes for the republican party as well. We, as the more decent people, simply need to swallow our words and let them believe they were never wrong as they find a new paradigm to get behind. AND it has to at least appear to be their idea as well. It's not good. But we are basically just going to be held hostage and driven deeper into despair if we don't find a way.

Or we could just all vote and end this craziness.

Remember when those Panama papers came out and were ignored because big name liberal supporters were on there?

Your side is the exclusive home of male feminists (aka losers and sexual predators), hypocritical feminists that simultaneously assault people and accuse them of doing the same, and BLM (whose most notable members are frauds and whose mission specifically mentioned everyone except the group of people that got them marching in the first place). Plus white women, so I'm not too sure about that

You look at the incompetent fools on the other side and tell me they wouldn't force people to give up their own stuff for the sake of everyone else! Tell me! TELLLLL MEEEEEE!!!!!!!1
