"Trump May Owe $100 Million From Double-Dip Tax Breaks, Audit Shows

A previously unknown focus of an I.R.S. audit is a dubious accounting maneuver that effectively meant taking the same write-offs twice on a Chicago skyscraper."

If anyone deserves to be beaten to a pulp by the law, it's D-F-F.

I.R.S.: More of this, please! As Jeff always reminds, Trump is felony factory and I have to believe there is plenty more criming where this came from. Shock and awe, DOJ. C'om on. Level Trump with more and more indictments and watch his brain worms glow.

I have been waiting since before he was in the White House for Trump to get in to trouble for his taxes. Let us see him negotiate his way out of paying. This is the real reason he wants Biden out of the White House and himself in. So he does not have to pay back taxes.

YeeHaw! Orange turd can't get rid of back taxes if he files for his fav money trick (bankruptcy). IRS bills are not ever dischargable via bko.

Expand full comment

Yup, and presidency to avoid taxes, which we can imagine he is never paying again if he becomes president for life, as he plans, has not turned out so well for him. It has drawn attention to his criming to get into the position of president which has now cost him as much in legal and other fees, plus his case with E. Jean Carroll has cost him more than that in legal fees and judgment. And, if he loses on appeal, I presume she can go after him again as he continues to slander her. Perhaps he has let go of that for now. Totalitarian Trump is a man who has made a list of people to "go after" once he is in the White House, which honestly includes all that would not vote for him, be that publicly announced or a private decision. This is what Hitler did to those in on his list as he immediately set about to give himself absolute powers once he was "democratically" elected and appointed to be chancellor. You can see how Hitler handled his "list" in episode 3 of this BBC series, Rise & Fall of the Nazis. Here is a link to episode one. https://youtu.be/KcfTOKgDdWQ?si=O6xoH9kmD61R8OHM

Vengeance lists: In L.A. (1980's) I worked for a large entertainment business mgmt. firm. The senior partner had a large framed newspaper article which published Nixon's "Enemies List". His (sr. partner) name was on it! Not sure why - he was Jewish & represented many high profile Democratic activist clients, many were also Jewish.

Expand full comment

Evil dictators have these lists. See Episode 3 and see what Hitler did to the enemies on his list. https://youtu.be/kaSu--OgHrs?si=ezkoPeOoJBLtYRU5

This series can give people a good image of what we face in the US under Totalitarian Trump. More than watching Putin and Xiping and Jung Un because we cannot see inside, whereas here we have hind sight. We should be using it. One, to try to avoid the same fate, and two to make plans of what to do if it happens.

"ambidextrous". ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Trump is SO insane. And the obsession over Taylor Swift is laughable! If we really examine our candidates, it should be obvious Biden is the only one with experience, sanity, and decency. I'm REALLY frustrated over Florida & Georgia and the delay they have gifted to Diaper Don, too. I'm worried people are not seeing the broad picture in this election and instead will focus on one issue. It really is Democracy over Dictatorship. We gotta vote accordingly! Have a good weekend, everyone! ๐Ÿ’™โœŒ๏ธ

I'm thinkin' that antidextrous is closer to the truth.

Expand full comment

The non-schooled asinine Trumpies don't see or hear anything that makes sense or falls in the truth column, plus they don't give two shits. Still perplexing as hell why the GOP still supports a criminal, nuttier than a squirrel turd, dangerous dumbshit who's less articulate than most Neanderthals. Many see the broader picture and you'd think between that dead ferret blowing in the wind and his disastrous track record would be enough to keep us dictator free.

Unfortunately, we have always protected the extremely stupid from themselves. But, they are putting us in a position where we not only can't protect them, but they will tank democracy, as a result of their stupidity. Ben Franklin knew..."if you can keep it."

They support him because they ARE him. And they see him as the fastest way to implement Project 2025. Awfully short-sighted of them, in my opinion. They've already seen that he is not controllable, and they should have seen that he is NOT garnering them any new votes...indeed, outright MAGAism is COSTING them down-ballot votes.

According to Bill Maher, Donny Doofus IS ambidextrous. Every show he shows a shot of Donny dancing at one of his rallies where heโ€™s pumping his arms up and down. According to Maher, Donny looks like heโ€™s jerking off two guys at the same time. See? Ambidextrous!

Has dfg attacked Taylor yet? Even he can't be stupid enough to enrage her hundreds of millions of fans. I'm just waiting for her to endorse Biden Harris.

Iโ€™m just shaking my head. You canโ€™t make this shit up! But how pathetic is it, that we as a society, umm, let this happen? I have always been naive in my thinking that we were better than this, so was sorely disappointed in 2016, when the orange turd ended up (stealing) the election. But being here, with this community, has given me hope again. Hope that we really are better this, and through all of us, we can turn it around againโ€ฆmaybe if we beat him biggy In Roevember we at least get the chance. And then all his creepy little cult fans can go crawl back under the rocks they slithered out from under.

Once again, I'm going to have to partially disagree with you, because not every homeschooling parent is a Religious Right lunatic.

Quite a few are gifted students who the current education system doesn't know what to do with, so they stuff them full of Ritalin or stick them in Learning Disabilities Classes (which is what happened to me!). For them, homeschooling gives them the opportunity to grow at their own rate, rather then being held back by the "statistically average" studentsโ€”as I wrote in a post back in late March:

what an amazingly special night last night was to witness and take pics of the Northern Lights from my home in Colorado...and I thought this morning when I awoke, how great would it be to read that emperor bloatus choked on a hamberder - or something - last night and died a slow and painful death??...but alas, I woke up this morning and the vile bloated ignorant disgusting tangerine sack of raw sewage is still breathing...oh well, we can still have hope each new morning...and maybe, the best thing in the end would be bloatus getting so destroyed in the election, that there would be no way to claim 'voter fraud'...I don't care what or how it happens, but I long for the day that I don't see his vile puss, or hear his sickening name every fucking day...cause THAT will truly be a new dawn in America

So, Telemundo aired this I'm a human octopus stable genius nonsense.

Watch how Trump poisons the Latino base.
