The writing IS on the wall for Trump.....

[Toddsterpatriot]

Bills assets were in a blind trust while president.

What assets? When he was in Arkansas, the governor made less than $40K.

What few investments he had at the time were in a blind trust.

You mean all his "used underwear money"?

Don't really know. You're the only one I know of that spends money for dirty underwear.

Don't really know.

That's clear.
Hillary used to donate Bill's used underwear and take a tax deduction for it.

The primary money-making engine was Bill Clinton. In his first year as an ex-president, he gave 57 speeches, an average of more than one per week. He traveled from Salem, Mass. (for the standard fee of $125,000), to Stockholm, Vienna and Warsaw ($183,333 each), and Milan ($350,000). Their 2001 tax return reports $13.7 million in gross receipts for his "speaking and writing" business.

An analysis by CNN early this year concluded that the Clintons were paid $153.7 million for speeches they gave between 2001 and 2015, when she launched her current presidential campaign.

Also on the 2001 return, Hillary Clinton reported receiving $2.9 million, the first installment of an $8 million advance for her memoir, Living History. The contract was signed the day before she took her oath as a U.S. senator. Bill was already collecting a $10 million advance for My Life, and when Hillary stepped down as secretary of state, she got an advance of $14 million for Hard Choices.

Subsequent tax records show both Clintons earning money as speakers and writers, and Bill also as a consultant. These have raised political questions: Why was Hillary giving well-paid speeches at big banks? Was Bill creating conflicts of interest for Hillary as secretary of state? But in 2014, the last year before Hillary Clinton started campaigning, their income from speaking, writing and consulting totaled $32.3 million.

It's likely the speaking fees and book advances would have been smaller for politicians without the Clintons' larger-than-life reputations.

Michael Johnston, the ethics scholar, said it's a symptom of the wealthy elite's rising prominence.

"We love the notion of the citizen politician," he said, but added this: "You can't be a presidential candidate without some acquaintance with wealth and power."

Thanks for the info......

14 years of work and they got more donations to their "foundation", just for selling a little uranium.

Because he's doing everything you thought he wouldn't do

Really??? (LOL)

Trump broke 80 promises in 100 days – ThinkProgress

Ha ha, ThinkProgress! You are really THAT fucking stupid.

pred time for you to go ,,,,,

Still here, liar.

 

[Correll]

So, your claim is that a media propaganda campaign trumps an election?

Nitwit.......the posed question of my O/P is simple.....WHY has Trump's approval dropped almost 15 points although the orange moron has spent lots of time trying to win favor in Alabama? ........and we got last night's results???

Obviously because of the massive panic and race mongering media propaganda campaign.


After all, the panic and race mongering from the campaign has already been proven false.


The most basic reporting of any media that was not completely corrupt, would be to point that out, and thus we see those who believed those lies, to becoming more supportive.


Instead we see the opposite, even as the old lies are disproved by events.


THe media trumps elections.


Good job.


NOw what?

The nation doesn’t seek nor expect perfect presidents, and some have certainly been deeply flawed. But a president who shows such disrespect for the truth, for ethics, for the basic duties of the job and for decency toward others fails at the very essence of what has always made America great.

From USA today


This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt.
.
Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.
It should surprise no one how low he went with Gillibrand. When accused during the campaign of sexually harassing or molesting women in the past, Trump’s response was to belittle the looks of his accusers. Last October, Trump suggested that he never would have groped Jessica Leeds on an airplane decades ago: “Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you.” Trump mocked another accuser, former People reporter Natasha Stoynoff, “Check out her Facebook, you’ll understand.” Other celebrities and politicians have denied accusations, but none has stooped as low as suggesting that their accusers weren’t attractive enough to be honored with their gropes.
.
If recent history is any guide, the unique awfulness of the Trump era in U.S. politics is only going to get worse. Trump’s utter lack of morality, ethics and simple humanity has been underscored during his 11 months in office. Let us count the ways:
He is enthusiastically supporting Alabama's Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of pursuing — and in one case molesting and in another assaulting — teenagers as young as 14 when Moore was a county prosecutor in his 30s. On Tuesday, Trump summed up his willingness to support a man accused of criminal conduct: “Roy Moore will always vote with us.”
.
Trump apparently is going for some sort of record for lying while in office. As of mid-November, he had made 1,628 misleading or false statements in 298 days in office. That’s 5.5 false claims per day, according to a count kept by The Washington Post’s fact-checkers.
.
Trump takes advantage of any occasion — even Monday’s failed terrorist attack in New York — to stir racial, religious or ethnic strife. Congress “must end chain migration,” he said Monday, because the terror suspect “entered our country through extended-family chain migration, which is incompatible with national security.” So because one man — 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. who came from Bangladesh on a family immigrant visa in 2011 — is accused of attacking America, all immigrants brought to this country by family are suspect? Trump might have some credibility if his criticism of immigrants was solely about terrorists. It isn’t. It makes no difference to him if an immigrant is a terrorist or a federal judge. He once smeared an Indiana-born judge whose parents emigrated from Mexico. It’s all the same to this president.
.
A man who clearly wants to put his stamp on the government, Trump hasn’t even done his job when it comes to filling key government positions that require Senate confirmation. As of last week, Trump had failed to nominate anyone for 60% of 1,200 key positions he can fill to keep the government running smoothly.
.
Trump has shown contempt for ethical strictures that have bound every president in recent memory. He has refused to release his tax returns, with the absurd excuse that it’s because he is under audit. He has refused to put his multibillion dollar business interests in a blind trust and peddles the fiction that putting them in the hands of his sons does the same thing.
.
Not to mention calling white supremacists "very fine people," pardoning a lawless sheriff, firing a respected FBI director, and pushing the Justice Department to investigate his political foes.It is a shock that only six Democratic senators are calling for our unstable president to resign.

Tax cuts for corporations?

...to make them "competitive" internationally...? So I guess this means we should all expect lower prices from our manufacturers (how best to "compete")...? . Bullshit... I for one am not holding my breath...
.
So, tax cuts to lessen costs and improve profitability at a time in our economy when profits are at an all time high and unemployment is at an all time low benefits who...??? Not me, and probably not you either...

Just to FURTHER piss us off.......

The tax scam proposed by republicans have the expenses of overseas' RELOCATION of companies be FULLY deductible........but if one of us has to relocate to follow a company's relocation in another state, THAT is no longer deductible,

 

[nat4900]

In other words (with the above) we are EXPECTED to subsidize the relocation overseas or to another country while getting laid off....Ask the Carrier folks....

Sort of having to buy the rope to be hanged with.

You should tell your Dem congressman to write a bill making individual moving expenses fully deductible.
I'm sure it would get huge support.
Feel free to add any additional tax cuts you'd like to your wish list.
We all know how the Dems love it when people get to keep more of their own money.

Lower prices, higher wages, higher dividends.

improve profitability at a time in our economy when profits are at an all time high

8.5 years after the recession ended, we'd better have profits at an all time high.

 

[basquebromance]

If Trump wasn't so damn thin skinned, this Russia thing wouldn't be biting him in the ass like it is. But he doesn't want anything to tarnish his victory, so he can't admit what EVERYONE knows: Russia interfered with our election. He's created his own mess. Such a shame.

Obama continued chemo after the cancer was gone? That's dangerous, stupid and expensive.

What other dangerous, stupid and expensive Obama actions would you like to discuss?

 

[whitehall]

Democrats lost both houses of congress, most of the governors, the president and more than 3,000 state and local elections and they think the "handwriting is on the wall for President Trump" while the sleazy left wing hypocrites enjoy the booming economy? Give me a break.

On Nov. 2016, the good state of Alabama gave Trump a win by securing more than 62% of the vote....Now, after a year of his "illustrious presidency" and his several trips in and around the state to push for his candidates in state election, Trump approval rating is less than 48% with an exact same percentile DISAPPROVING of the orange charlatan.

Focus on that writing on the wall,Trump cult members.
