The media is mostly just reporting The Donald's daily inane comment(s). That's all that's necessary for reasoning people to recognize that he's a bloviating fool.

At least they paid the taxes on their "bribes". I'll give them credit for that.

How does it feel to be a tool, fool? They also donated almost 10% of said income to charity. Funny how you left that tidbit out, trumpkins.

What charities would that be?

The same ones that they reported having given to in their 2007-2014 Returns?

Paul Caron of Taxprofblog checked out the charitable deductions claimed by the prosperous couple. It turns out they are tithing! A total of $15 million, or 10.8% of their adjusted gross income, went to helping others. Wow, that’s pretty good, and the tax savings are nothing to sneeze at.

But go one level farther, and you discover that 99% of their charitable giving went to Clinton family charities. The ones that pay for travel expenses for the Clintons and hire their old friends to work for future political campaigns, along with doing the storied “good work” we always hear about (holding glitzy conferences for wealthy donors, for example).

I find his candidness a refreshing change from the usual carefully scripted political fare.

Trump speaks his mind, which makes him come off as a real person.

Of course when you do that you are occasionally going to say something that ruffles the feathers of the hand ringing, bed wetting, candy assed, "Politically Correct" crybabies.

Are you kidding me?

This is the most fun I've had on the internet, ever!

Breitbart speaks again. I too was amused by his candidacy until it became apparent that there was a remote chance that the nativist authoritarian prick could actually win this thing. The status quo under Hillary is far preferable to the damage der Trumpenfuhrer would cause. The last couple of weeks should have made that crystal clear.

When it comes to reporting on the corruption of the Clintons I have a plethora of sources from all aspects of the political spectrum at my disposal.

Do you know what a plethora is Jefe?
