Infidel Dog Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) But in case you're wondering what the definition of corruption is, it would be something more like this: I'm not sure how factual that is because I can't find confirmation but if the Biden's were actually extradited on such charges and they were found guilty that would be proof of actual corruption.

He paid the legally required amount in taxes. Of course he IS responsible for that special writeoff for real estate developers which went into the tax cut. And here's the thing, if you bribe politicians to change the tax code so you can legally pay no tax, that's still corruption. So Trump, like the rest of his elite wealthy peers, have been corrupting the tax code and then 'legally' benefiting from it for decades. Nothing is more apt for being called 'the swamp' than that. And rather than draining it Trump is wallowing in it just like the rest of those rich bastards.

I agree that elites have been corrupting the tax code. It’s why companies like Google and Amazon that dwarf any of Trumps business ventures pay ZERO taxes. That ain’t Trumps fault either. You guys are angry with the wrong person. Much of this junk came into law in Obama’s first term as part of the Dems recession stimulus policy. It’s literally how Trump got his huge tax refund. Quote

Shady Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 2 hours ago, Argus said: The tax code is the result of decades of bribery by various moneyed interests who paid presidents, congressmen and senators of both parties to adjust the tax laws to allow them to exempt a wide variety of things, to write down, write off, and pay minimal or no taxes on money made in various ways. For example, in the last tax cut a special tax provision was included which would help... real estate developers. No one seems to be able to explain why. Which allows scumbag rich boys like Trump to pay a tiny fraction of the taxes ordinary people pay every year. You know who pays even less taxes than Trump? Nancy Pelosi’s husband and John Kerry’s wife. And hundred of other members of Congress and their well connected spouses and friends. Quote

Trump's awesome record as POTUS is all that really matters. Your idiotic accusation of "open racism" makes the rest of post not worth comment. 1 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Argus Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 And does anyone wonder who he owes that $400 million to that he has to repay in the next few years? Because according to Donald Trump Junior the banks stopped loaning them money after their last series of bankruptcies, but, he said, thank God for the Russians!

Like bribing congress to make a tax change, or, if you're president, demanding your party insert a special clause for real estate developers. Yes, perfectly legal. Drain that swamp!

This appear to be an inference that if someone disapproves of Trump they must be "deranged". But such a view is in itself deranged. Anyone with a sense of morality deeply disapproves of Trump. Anyone who is a conservative and cares about budget deficits disapproves of Trump. Anyone who knows anything about his shady dealings with Russian oligarchs, his lying, cheating and bullying, his obvious narcissism and cowardice would disapprove of Trump.
