On a lighter note, I did like the imagery of one blogger relative to the Trump taxes. Some excerpts:
Which sets up...Is it plausible that a billionaire paid no taxes for a period of several years? Yep. Totally. See all that stuff I wrote above about the complicated tax code and how it is an accountant’s sacred duty to take advantage of all the stupid laws congress has passed to save their client’s money? Pretty much that. It has happened many times before, and it will happen many times again. One thing that’s really unfair about our tax system is that it is rigged in favor of people who have more resources.
Which is followed by...Trump has those resources. I bet he’s got a room full of accountants, and their leader is probably a grizzled old CPA with an eye patch and a raven who sits on his shoulder. The raven also has an eye patch and an accounting degree. This man has wrestled bears, and he’s going to take advantage of every tax break in the US Code for his client, and do so gleefully, knowing that many of those laws were signed by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Loved the Finnish death metal analogy, as I did listen to Nightwish back 15 years ago or so...On the other side, you know damned good and well that the IRS has sent their most fearsome auditor against him. This man sold his soul to the devil, and then fined the devil for failing to list that soul as a depreciable asset. When he shows up to audit your company, he appears a flash of fire and brimstone, as a Finnish death metal band plays his theme song. He is an auditor bereft of mercy, compassion, or pity, and beneath his leathery wings serve a legion of IRS goblins, who will crawl into every nook and cranny of the Trump Corporation’s P&L looking for errors, and if a mouse so much as shits a turd large enough to unbalance that ledger, there will be hell to pay.I'm just here for the baseball.

Yeah. Have you ever watched "American Greed" on CNBC? Seems like it would be some 24-year old kid recently out of college who gets easily bullied.Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View Post

LMAO I don't see how "whataboutism" can ever be a thing again for the GOP/Trump party.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

It would be glorious if he did. And now I am remembering fondly the show Metalocalypse. I recall liking it and then it just stopping. I don't recall seeing any fitting conclusion to the show. I gotta look that up.Originally posted by chancellor View PostComment

Where did you go on our avatar bet? Your only response was to raise the bar even higher, suggesting Trump could get over 75 million. I will more generously set the bar well below your expected vote tally for Trump, at 67 million. By your estimates, he should far surpass that total easily. So is that the line? You take the over, I take the under? I pick the avatar for you if you lose, vice versa. I won't even pick a Biden avatar for you. It will be something else.Originally posted by onejayhawk View PostComment
