Trump didn't pay income tax for 10 of 15 years before 2016 election: NYT

One more thing. You can take all the wisdom of the sages of the ages. Put it in a heart shaped box and light it afire then send it out to sea.

A- Viking.

Lets live our own lives. Make our choices. Heaven. Or Hell.

And LIVE with those choices.

[Absalom]

Honor and integrity are attributes that Democrats do not believe in.  Don't you find it a bit disingenuous for them to apply them to Trump?

Who is the one incriminated here?  The person who said he couldn't discuss his tax returns because he was under audit?  Or the person who committed a felony by stealing them and giving them to the NYTimes?  Or maybe its the people who have been lying about Trump profiting off his White House job.

Is there an income level at which you don't have to pay SSI or Medicare? And does it matter if you are self-employed?]

The FICA maximum for 2020 is $137,700.  I don't think there's a Medicare maximum.

Thanks. Because of my great fortune I have to work until I die. Maybe longer.

Listen up...

If we of the great unwashed in Conservative circles had followed your advice....YOUR so-called words of 'wisdom',
Hillary Clinton would be making her THIRD nomination to the Supreme Court.

Put a cork in it.

And yet she's still a free woman, not locked up like she should be.

[Idiot]

Correct me if I'm wrong... but this is carry-over losses and is fairly common in real-estate correct? It's very subject to the whims of the market.

Exactly....  I've done so myself numerous times....

[corbe]

   This is exactly what Trump expended so much precious political capital on his last campaign on: keeping his taxes quiet.  He knew it would expose his flanks and open him to further ridicule and a loss of needed votes. 
   Trump will get through this one, IMHO, what I'm apprehensive about is the next 10 scandals they come up with in the next 30+ days. 
   Stormy and Karen are bound to show up.

[NavyCanDo]

Trump could put this one to bed easily at the debate, ex0l!ining how much taxes were actually pretty paid and the question will come up. But I don't have confidence in the way he preps for questions like this.  We'll see.

The only creature Trump attempts to put to bed, is the likes of Stormy Daniels,
Try getting real.

[Absalom]

Democrats have always depended on votes of the stupid, ignorant, and mentally unbalanced.

----------------------------------
Hmm............. well they sure have a lot in common w/the Republicrats!!!

[corbe]

    You never seem to give him any credit @Absalom  Can you imagine how difficult it would be, the mental gymnastics, for a known Germaphobe to sleep with a p0rn star  
    Anyone with half a brain knew we weren't electing a moral man of character in 2016 but here we are 4 years later and Trump is the only thing we Conservatives have in this fight against a more rapid disintegration of this experiment we call a Constitutional Republic. 
   Unless your a believer in it's time to water this Tree of Liberty he's all we got. 
   If we all survive I'll be a happy camper.

Respectfully,
* Credit for what??? His achievements wouldn't fill the bottom rung of a thimble!
* Trump ain't a Principled Conservative, a word he couldn't even spell!
* We lost our vision as a nation/people more than a century ago which is why
   buffoon Trump and clown Biden are contesting POTUS!

[corbe]

   I wouldn't attempt to refute any of your points @Absalom
   My contention is about NOW, what now? 
   We are all political slaves to this corrupt 2 party system and it has failed us miserably for decades.
   If not Trump, what choice do we have?

You're here day in and day out pimping for Joe Biden ... and YOU'RE passing judgment on the President's conservatism?  You are the laugh gift that keeps on giving --- bless your heart.

You sure have an obsession with this media daydream ... which begs a question:  Are you wishing you were Stormy or the President in this, your favorite fantasy?

   I don't figure it that way @Right_in_Virginia I have been absent of late, but I just don't see @Absalom as being a biden guy, a Trump disliker, yes, no doubt.
   Who is being judgmental and casting aspersions?   

[Right_in_Virginia]

 @Right_in_Virginia I have been absent of late,

Just leave it there.

   I do have a tendency to Ramble On, at times @Right_in_Virginia

Without releasing the supporting documentation who would believe him?

[verga]

Exactly...and please don't make fun of Biden..let the viewers see for themselves.
I so think Trump should bring up Hunter and the whole family involved in corruption.

My single fear is that he will go into full attack mode and look like he is beating up on a tired old man, garnering a lot of sympathy for slo Joe.

This is for the most important job in the world.  Weak men not allowed.

I'm lighting a candle in front of my Infant of Prague praying that Slo-Joe loses his composure and drools....or sh*ts his pants or something.

If he goes after Biden personally or after Hunter Biden then it will be at the expense of not answering the question before him.  That's not going to play well.
