is there really a difference between Charlie Sheen and Trump when it comes to attention whoring?

[mudwhistle]

Trump is running for President.

I know this may come as a shock to you, but bringing attention to himself is what he is supposed to be doing.

Right. Talking like an 8th grader is a great way to get attention, but obviously if we want a serious president, we have to do it the old fashioned way and examine their, you know, policy ideas.

how is bernie a serious candidate and trump not?


no really, explain how to pay for berns ideas w/o crushing the country with taxes and debt

You call a tax on Wall Street speculation "crushing"? Whether you like it or not, taxes is what pays for ANY government spending. That includes our public schools, infrastructure, and our badass military. One of the primary reasons our debt is so high is because our revenue as a percentage of GDP is too low. The EFFECTIVE tax rate on corporations is 12%.

History has also shown us that high taxes on the wealthy is not "crushing". The tax rate on the wealthy was 90% in the 50s yet that was a time for great economic growth. Bernie has said repeatedly his tax policy wouldn't be that high.

The reason our debt is so high is because both parties spend more than they can get in taxes.

Yeah and both parties have cut taxes in the process.

They increased taxes by $600 billion a couple of years ago.
That's why revenues are up.

Now that may be the case, but before that the debt and deficit were high for that reason.

History does not show what you think it shows.

and bernie is lying about how much he will have to increase taxes, unless he knows he will have to borrow trillions

So why aren't we paying off the debt by operating in a surplus?

Because the more taxes you give them, the more they want to spend.

This is a byproduct of ever expanding centralized government.

 

[Freewill]

Yeah there is, Sheen had to resort to getting HIV for attention.

Right now revenue must be sufficient to prevent the debt from getting any bigger.

I can already tell you dislike trump

Amusing thread considering for the most part it's the left who obsess over everything Trump says and does.

Lol most of Trump's supporters are poor and uneducated.

Well, so far Trump does it without the AIDS.

I don't know about that uneducated part. I am happy to see they have come out with a GPS system for Liberals though. It's high time.

the debt increases by ~ $10k a second

so no, when nearly half of us don't pay taxes the government has to borrow, that is of course, until it convinces the truly ignorant that people making more than them should be taxed at over 50% of their income

Nope......the solution is to cut spending. Instead Hillary wants to increase spending by $1.2 trillion her first year so she can establish a new baseline for the budget.
Bernie Sanders wants to essentially take all of our money and give back what he feels we need.

 

[The Rabbi]

I really think the simple minded republican turns to Trump the same way the American public turned to Charlie Sheen during his meltdown in 2011. An 8th grader trapped in a grown man's body runs his mouth and the media and public can't shut up about it.

Do you notice how Trump only rises in the polls when he says something controversial? I mean anyone with average intelligence knows that Trump is an idiot, but republicans think differently than this. They latch onto what this moron says because it validates their pre conceived notions about certain issues like Mexican immigrants or Muslims.

Any idiot can say "we must ban all Muslims"! Republicans see this as Trump being bold and resolute, but to everyone else (liberals) they know it is just Trump pandering to his knuckle-dragging, celebrity worshipping base. Do you notice how Trump is very short on actual policy ideas? I seriously doubt the majority of Trump's peons even know the actual platform this idiot is running on. Tell me Trump supporters: why do you support Trump beyond his rhetoric about Muslims and illegal immigrants? Surely you care about more than just this. What is so winning about his economic agenda? What, EXACTLY, is Trump going to do to boost wages in this country and create jobs? How about dealing with ISIS? What will he do about Putin?

I think you only respond to his attention whoring the way America did to Charlie Sheen in 2011. The media attention on Trump is really no different than it was to Sheen back then. Trump appeals to your emotions. Deep down you know that Trump is useless as an actual serious presidential contender but you just can't admit it.

Like them or not, Bernie and Hillary's poll numbers only change after the democratic debates. Liberals don't respond to stupid one liners like republicans do with Trump. They want to see the issues laid out on the table so they can weigh the pros and cons.

AAand another tequila fueled stupid thread fail from Billy Triple Fail, dumbest fuckng rock on USMB.
Hey, Billy. Trump is running for office. Sheen isnt.
Get the difference?

cutting spending is racist.


I don't know how it's racist, it just is.

It's also hate tward women, children, muslims, jews, buddist, nuddist, left handed people and strippers that are working their way through college.

At least that's what the lying Democrats want us to believe.

The current debt is greatly attributed to the Bush tax cuts created by Bush and later extended by Obama.

Nope.....the debt is the result of Congress stealing from the Social Security fund instead of cutting spending. It's the result of a belief that anything can be solved by more and more spending. The reason the debt increased the most under this president is because he's trying to bankrupt America. Anyone who gets in his way he calls a terrorist.
