Here's another quote from Trump: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world. Nobody knows more about taxes." http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/trump-says-his-tax-rate-is-none-of-your-business/ And another one: "I understand the tax laws better than almost anyone which is why I'm the one who can truly fix them." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-brilliantly-tax-laws-paying-article-1.2816127 Whatever his claim is, it's laughable. His accountant said in an interview that Trump was completely disinterested when he came in to sign the tax returns. Never paid any attention to any details. His wife asked more questions than he did.

This is the best theory I've seen that explains how Trump did it. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-did-trump-pay-so-little-tax-2016-10

Yep, time to put it to rest. Colin Powell called Benghazi "a stupid witch hunt". Condoleezza Rice said that she "completely agreed". Powell and Rice are former Republican Secretary of States. https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/colin-powell-called-benghazi-a-stupid-witch-hunt-and-condi-r How about Hillary selling 20% of Uranium to Russia? Is that also "a stupid witch hunt"? I know I'm gonna regret getting involved in this because i have a feeling that facts don't matter in this case. But statements like this make it sound like Hillary was there with a shovel loading uranium on a freigher bound for Russia. Please explain to me how Hillary sold US's Uranium to Russia given the facts: The sale in question refers to the sale of Uranium One - an uranium miner to a Russian company controlled by the government. Uranium One was(is) a Canadian uranium miner with operations on 4 continents. Some are in the US. The US operations are a small fraction of the total production of Uranium one. Uranium one does not have now nor did it have at the time a license to export Uranium out of United States. The US is not a large producer of Uranium and actually imports a lot of the stuff. Given that Uranium One had operations in the US the state department had to approve the merger. There is no evidence that Hillary was involved with the approval process however State did approve it while she was Secretary of State. In addition to State the sale was approved by 8 other US government agencies. In addition the sale was approved by a whole bunch of other governments around the world where the bulk of Uranium operations are including Canada and Australia and a shitload of those governments' agencies. So how did Hillary sell US uranium to Russia given the facts? The fact check that I linked makes basically the same points but goes into more detail. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jun/30/donald-trump/donald-trump-inaccurately-suggests-clinton-got-pai/

News in the last 24 hours: * Trump asked America to check out a sex tape. At 3AM, no less. * Trump appeared in a porn video with incest twins. * Trump tried to pimp out his mistress and future second wife as a Playboy nude. He personally negotiated a million dollar offer. American "value voters", congratulations! 90% of you are supporting this guy. 8) Our Canadian politics is so boring in comparison. Although give us credit, we did elect a mayor who smoked crack cocaine.
