Free Republic

Sometimes we need an analogy to really understand what is going on here and how stupid thing have got. We both need a new pair of jeans and we separately we go to Macy's and shop. You find a pair, try them on, try on another or two, then take your new jeans to the sales counter. The sales person is courteous and gives you paper work for a Macy's charge card which you fill out and get approved and you buy your new jeans, walk out with your jeans in a nice bag and you have a paper receipt...

Simple question for other Freeper CPA's. Didn't Trump receive large loan write offs from the banks during the Atlantic City bankruptcy? Wouldn't those loan write offs count as income to Trump, and wouldn't the loss offset the income received from those loan write offs? So there would be no way that the 916 million was written off over 18 years? Why do you think Trump hasn't come out and said this? Does he just not want to go into his taxes?

Have been watching the Vice President Debate. Gov. Mike Pence was grace under fire. Sen. Tim Kaine was sure acting snarky. The debate moderator was either helping Sen. Kaine or simply lost control. It got so bad I had to turn it off. At least it will show folks how calm Gov. Pence even when the questions were focused on Mr. Donald J. Trump.

WHAT A DING DING! WE KNOW WHAT SIDE SHE'S ON! PENCE BEING INFORMED but interrupted. She won't take control.

Bob Woodward has a new book out (which this post is not about) so I thought it was a good time to remind everyone of what Woodward revealed in an older book he wrote, called "The Choice".Woodward suggests the White House hoped to keep Mrs. Clinton's relationship with Houston and her talks with the dead a secret. "Most people in the White House did not know about Hillary's sessions with Houston ...(he is referring to Jean Houston, her adviser who helped her commune with the dead). ... To some of the few who did, the meetings could trigger politically damaging...

I say he was able to get a full meal deal out of Obama

I think it is time to reveal the whole cartel that the Clintons have put together. From the looks of things they have involved most of Washington,all of the media and various other entities such as individuals they can get to allude to acts that are only fictitious. This is more or less a corrupt cartel that has infected our government as well as they media. The cancer that has destroyed any resemblance of a government By the people and for the people. The destruction of this evil cartel is the only way to get our government back.

Historic Trump Speech-Sept.3-Profound day

I believe there are certain things Trump needs to drive home to win. (1) Hillary is a WARMONGER - This needs to be repeated over and over. - She supported us attacking Libya. Libya was not a threat to us or anyone. In fact, they opened their weapons arsenal for inspections. They are now a failed state. Thanks, hillary. - She supported the overthrow of Syria by supplying weapons to terrorists. Hundreds of thousands of innocent Christians and others have died as a result of hillary and obama. This GENOCIDE is on their hands. - Hillary and obama quietly supported...

It's because he defends white people. This is the reason the media is able to openly oppose him. There aren't aren't pressure groups who are going to go after the media's sponsors for doing this. What Trump is doing isn't permissible in the liberal media bubble and the Republican Establishment on Fox News. However, the people who stayed home in 2008 and 2012 are going to show how out of touch the media is on Election Day.

Free speech is under attack when the content doesn't comply with the leftist agenda. Colin Kaeperbick is praised across the country by liberals for his Anti-American views, and even praised by the president. On the other hand, NFL players, baseball players and other celebrities are ostracized and even punished for tweets or comments that don't confirm to mainstream media narrative. And don't even think about posting a pro-Trump comment on Facebook! Yard signs are stolen, supporters are harassed, and angry protesters have gotten violent. It's been so difficult to express support for Trump that many people have kept quiet, even...

She gave her a good 10, 12 minutes of VERY sympathetic air time to smear Trump. Megan acted like her charges were without doubt even though the beauty queen admitted that she had no witnesses and no proof he called her those names. She even said "Trump is not a good person, the person you see now is not who he really is. I tell my story and I hope to change minds." This woman is an utter shill.I wouldn't doubt she is getting paid heavily by the Hillary campaign for this. She has apparently held a 19,20 year grudge...

I hope Trump pays little or nothing in taxes. In fact, I wish the federal government would take less from him than they already do. The money Trump save on taxes he then uses to create businesses that employ 10s of thousands of workers. These workers all pay federal taxes and will continue to pay taxes far, far,...FAR in excess of any money the federal government would have confiscated from Trump. Trump may or may not pay taxes, but he most certainly creates significant tax revenues. What would be smart is for the federal government to invest in Trump, allow...

So the first presidential debate is over. I didn't watch it, as I cannot stand listening to Hillary for even 5 seconds. But I was out and about today. I noticed a lot of Trump signs on lawns. Those signs weren't there last week. I live in a NE rust-belt state. Make of all that what you will.

Hillary no longer remembers her Secretary of State years and calling TPP The Gold Standard. https://youtu.be/MpLQzeCoNnA Hillary Clinton Praises TPP As “Gold Standard In Free Trade Agreements” “This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field,”

This long forgotten – or completely UNKNOWN among the “snowflakes” and “yutes” -- HISTORY of the close relationship between the leftist "educated" (indoctrinated is more like it) "pseudo elite" dumb asses being churned out of colleges and universities here and the Marxist socialism (which, if not strangled in its crib, has ALWAYS morphed into communism) that has failed everywhere it has been tried may aid your understanding of the media's vicious hatred of Trump and his supporters (the now infamous “DEPLORABLES”). The sad fact is that the media here is overwhelmingly populated by these deluded dumb asses! Any nefarious, otherwise...

Any idea where the smartest woman in the world is? I have been assured she just stumbled, has allergies, one hour pneumonia, and the old standby dehydration. I also learned it's normal to faint and collapse and she is powering through because she is after all also the strongest woman in the world. So where is she?

"The birth certificate is fake" Anyone else? I cringed when he had to feign respect for the Kenyan usurper. He did refer to him as "your" president once which i liked.

I asked if that was a red Mao suit Hilary was wearing. I was told that I was showing my hate and ignorance. I admitted that they were correct and thanked them for that, because it is true that I hate red Mao suits, but I wasn't up on the latest fashion trends. Was I wrong? Are red Mao suits in fashion?

I did not watch the debate last night- my stomach was turning, but I followed the live thread here at FR (great job). Fact is clinton has done one-on-one debating for 15+ years never mind being a lawyer. Fact also while Trump may not have won the debate he certainly did not lose it; try as the criminal liberal media may there was no "ah-ha!!" moment Trump put out there which they will try and hang him with. He can only get stronger from here. Also- my feeling has been the VP's may turn the tide for the undecideds in...
