OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Can it be anymore than losses of 70k worth of hair appointments? It closes many loopholes in my book. We would need to change the way we itemize. As for black markets, nothing more can be done outside of getting rid of cash$$$$$
those aren't losses though. That money ultimately went to businesses and/or people who in turn then paid taxes on it (after their expenses were accounted for). The only question is whether the expense is a legitimate one or whether it should be taxed. If it is taxed, it leaves less money to go to others to be taxed. Pay me now, pay me later kind of thing.
 




What a shock that a man who isn't religious at all mocks religious people who support him.

1) He is religious
2) Did they use the same anonymous sources that lied about him talking shit about the military?


Literal Lee, every single one of these stories that you dooshes throw out there are false and they always involve people who won't go on the record. I am so glad that I don't have to depend on anonymous sources to make my arguments for me. That would be pathetic.

Lol dude you are funneling the kool-aid. You have an IV of the kool-aid.

You think all of these terrible things that people who are directly interacting with Trump are saying are ALL false? His entire life people have been saying these awful things about him, why do you think that is?

This is too funny. Ignorance must really be bliss, live it up brother.

What has happened to you? It's like Trump sexually assaulted your favorite goat within the last couple of months. Not even that douchebag blazers brings as much trivial shit to the board.

He's a shithead. He's been one his entire life. I've always thought this.

I was going to give him a pass for being a shithead because my wallet looked great and he was just kind of a figurehead spewing nonsense that I could care less about. Those that liked him liked him, those that hated him hated him, and those of us in the middle just didn't want him to do anything too bad. I feel that way with most Presidents, just don't F up what I have and don't royally F up America.

However, once he started purposely trying to divide our country by politicizing a virus it was kinda the line for me personally. Others may not care, that's fine. But for me, any President that tries to actively divide and split Americans is a huge no for me. He went beyond party politics to me. Biden is terrible but I think he will try to unite those who don't necessarily agree with him. Trump never will.

That's why I think he's a joke and I enjoy laughing at how awful he and his most loyal supporters are.

P.S. You only think it's trivial because it's about someone you like. If I poasted the same story with the same sources about Obama you boys on here would be all about it. Don't pretend otherwise.

If you think Biden will be in charge of anything you are delusional.
 
I don't think Biden will actively try to divide, which is obviously all Trump has done.

As I said, Biden is terrible but I do think he's going to try to not completely ignore and mock those who don't agree with him. Pretty shitty that this is the bar but here we are.
 
It amazes me that people don't understand that a business needs to pay employees, and they frequently get consultants to be in essence temporary employees. It doesn't matter if the employee is related to the owner, as long as the employee is paying taxes on their income. The lack of elementary business knowledge with people harping on that is borderline offensive.
If it was on the up and up they should be some 1099’s around showing it. I don’t know if they are or not but they should be.
 
Trump: "Here, have $100."

Black person: "I should get more than $100 because I'm black and have been treated so poorly for so long."

Trump: "No. You'll get $100 like everyone else."

Everybody: "Trump is so divisive!"

That's not why I think Trump is divisive but ok. I don't know any people that dislike Trump because of some weird race reparations example you just gave but keep rolling with it I guess.

I see you've gotten riled up by my personal explanation of why I dislike a politician. You can poast all these weirdo examples you'd like, it's not going to change my opinion of him and I don't see why you're so bothered by my personal opinion that's more or less shared by over half the country.

Don't worry, you can do your victory laps tonight when Biden gets destroyed in the debate tonight.

There is a certain percentage of people who are to proclaim Trump the winner even if he falls on his face. He can do no wrong to these people.
 
the desire to succeed is so strong in some people that they try to create their own success instead of just leaching off the success of others. People striving to succeed has been such a burden on this country I don't know how it has survived. We have to put an end to the horrendous damage by leaching off successful people even more, because nothing else seems to discourage them. That about right?
No, it's not.

He's religious now? You've decided to actually claim that as being a fact? Is that an alternate fact, or a fact-fact, like an objective-reality fact. There must be a caveat there somewhere. He's religious... because he held a Bible up for people to see? Is he attending regular services for this newfound religion of his?

I think people make up shit about him because he is an asshole. If they were telling the truth, there would be people who would be willing to go on the record. There are not.

Stories that depend anonymous sources are worthless and people who post them like they mean something are idiots.

Google Trump and Norman Peale and then tell me if you think it is fact.

I know all about the Norman Peale thing. I've read the book by his niece and two other books by David Cay Johnston. They're not very complimentary to Donald, but I believe them. And, writing/publishing a book is what I consider to be "on the record."

I'm fully aware of how Norman Vincent Peale's "Power Of Positive Thinking" heavily influenced him. And, I know how he was exposed to Peale. But... that's not religion, or being religious, in the context of a constant faith in any of the Abrahamic/Western religions. That's just Peale being at a church when Trump was exposed to Peale. Unless you consider Peale to be some sort of Joseph Smith/L. Ron Hubbard-type person. I'll allow that. But, Peale isn't anywhere near like the other two. Trump has created his own cult, as we have seen. If cults are religions- which they pretty much are- then, technically, he was exposed to a religion and took some of it and built-up his own persona and following. Trump isn't an open follower of anything, now. He leads and people follow. From what I have gathered... Peale, indirectly, taught Trump how to worship HIMSELF. I guess that is religious, but not how most people think of religion.

This ^ is what you call, arguing semantics.
I'm not arguing semantics at all. I'm trying to be as clear as possible.

When religious people, who happen to be in a cult, are cornered with the idea that they're in one, and they're following a persona... and that being in a cult has a negative connotation... then, they respond as you have.
 
I don’t know if trump is religious. Depends on the definition. But if anyone’s claiming trump has a born again personal relationship with Jesus Christ and as such he’s out there trying to glorify god in his words and actions... well....lol...let’s just say I’m skeptical.

Here is the cult member trying to act like others are in a cult. Classic defense mechanism for cult members.

I’ll take any response from you (or no response at all) as you accepting what I said as truth and that you agree.

And, most importantly... if anyone believes that he didn't mock those Christians when they got out of his presence, they're simply wrong. He has to mock them because they are exhibiting allegiance to someone other then him! He's threatened by them, in some way. He's threatened by anything that appears to steal his thunder. He's not beholden to anything or anyone else... just himself. That is abundantly clear!

Trump: “In regards to the pandemic, I think we need to stay open but proceed with caution.”

Dem politicians: “This is the deadliest virus in ever, forever!! Close schools, close businesses, close the world. Tens of millions will die!!!”

Trump: “You’re wrong. Stop with the hysteria.”

Everybody: “Trump is so divisive!”

If Trump's quotes were actually in the manner that you put them then most people in the middle wouldn't have an issue with them. But they aren't, and you know that.

What exactly indicated to you that I’m “riled up”? Can you cite the statement that would have you believe that? Because I just read through our correspondence this morning and I can’t, for the life of me, detect what it is I wrote that would give you that idea. Care to explain

The same type of convo that made you all day yesterday go "BIG MAD" when people were laughing at the returns. You were more riled up over what I wrote than any poast you commented BIG MAD on.


I am looking forward to watching it. But I don’t know if I’ll be doing a victory lap. How much pleasure can you really get out of watching a disabled person get beaten up? Even if the disabled person asked for it, you still kind of feel bad.

Eh, something tells me you and @UNC71-00 will be doing the worst of Joe Biden highlights tonight/tomorrow. As you should, people who hate Trump certainly poast all of his worst highlights...Biden deserves the same treatment.

I hope they are all deemed unfit to govern and someone extremely smart is the only person left. Not Trump "I have the best words smart" but someone actually smart. One can dream.

Oh, absolutely! He is "casually religious!" To pander to the saps that think he bought the same ticket they bought, he'll gladly bend an nod and hold his hands a certain way of he thinks that will gain their favor and trust. But, it's all a front. He's a conman, always has been.

I don't get the Trump as divider bit coming from anyone with a measureable IQ. How can anyone have witnessed the unrelenting onslaught of negativity and obstructionism toward him and his well-supported agendas that has taken place over the last almost four years and try to portray that as him being divisive? And he politicized the Covid? No one had politicized the Covid, and then he stepped up out of the blue and done did it?

You are more FOS than a Christmas goose. But of course, I'm willing to let you dredge up proof of that first divisive Covid shot that he fired. My recollection is of him being lambasted as racist and xenophobic because he wanted to restrict travel into the U.S. from the country that was fostering the virus. I guess he was guilty of dividing us from China. The bastard.

I can’t wait to hear all the awkward ‘zingers’ and ‘gotchas’ being fed to Joe through his earpiece.
 
I can't believe how little people understand about even the simplest aspects of business.

That a consultant is a relative doesn't matter. Why should it?
The consultant was more than a relative though. Ivanka was the consultant AND was employed by the company paying the consultant. Is that legal?

Ivanka was an exec for the company on salary, AND the consultant. No probs there?

It is abundantly clear to everyone in the whole world with the exception of maybe 25 to 30 percent of the people here in the USA.
 
Im so angry right now I could leave work early, go work out and then watch my son play soccer this evening.

But don’t worry about me. I have a feeling I’m gonna be ok come Nov 3. You?

I don't care who wins - I really don't. I don't want Trump but it impacts my life so minuscule that it doesn't really matter. Biden winning would actually be worse for me personally but I'll sacrifice some dollars if it means everyone won't hate each other as much. Not likely though.
