The photographer says he attended Trump’s parties with one of the owners of the hair salon, Pierre Michel, that operated in both the Plaza and Trump Tower. The salon owner, Pierre Ouaknine, says his memories of those Plaza parties vanished after a recent surgery. But the photographer’s memories are crystal clear. Trump would take over “suites on the corners” of his hotel with views of Central Park and Grand Army Plaza, not to mention lots to look at inside, and wow his guests.
The attraction for the men “was young girls assuming they’d get somewhere” by joining the party, the photographer says, “Of course, it never happens.”
Young models were attracted to the fêtes with a simple, time-tested pitch. “You’ll meet rich guys who will help you,” says the photographer. “It was networking, but on a weird, bizarre scale.”
The girls were as young as 15, he says, and “over their heads, they had no idea, and they ended up in situations. There were always dramas because the men threw money and drugs at them to keep them enticed. It’s based on power and dominating girls who can’t push back and can be discarded. There’s always someone to pick them back up. Nobody wants to call home and say ‘Help me.’”
Trump would “go from room to room,” said the photographer, who added that “I was there to party myself. It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, top-shelf liquor” but no smoking. Trump didn’t approve of cigarettes.

Chris Sacca (a tech billionaire) trolls Peter Thiel:
"Hey @peterthiel, nice @nytimes piece about your $1.5 million donation to Trump. Is that to fund more of these stickers?"

Lol, no he's not gonna build a northern wall, but Canadians may build it if he wins.
I am Canadian. I want to build a wall even if he loses. 48-50 million Americans are about to vote for a mentally unstable near-fascist. This is scary as hell.

The list is already out of date. Another story came out later in the day:

The man is a bottomless pit of yuck. Of course the family values republicans have no problem to continue to support him.
I wonder where is the breaking point.
This, maybe?
In an “Entertainment Tonight” Christmas feature in 1992, Trump looked at a group of 10-year-old girls and said he would be dating one of them in ten years. At the time, Trump would have been 46 years old.
The video, released Wednesday evening, was shot at Trump Tower.
In the clip, Trump asks one of the 10-year-old girls if she’s “going up the escalator.” When the girl replies, “yeah,” Trump turns to the camera and says: “I am going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?”

Another shameless ego trip by buffett.
He also put words on Trump mouth, just hide the fact that this is just his personal ego trip. buffett reminds me about mark cuban & other shills. This is not about them, this is about next POTUS.
"Mr. Trump says he knows more about taxes than any other human." [who has ever run for president]
https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/782541307168391168?lang=en
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.

American men are deplorable.

Trump may have used some shady paper losses to inflate the totals though, which is another issue entirely.
This is the best theory I've seen that explains how Trump did it.

At a stump rally in PA today, Trump recited false Russian story about WikiLeaks/Benghazi right after they published it. Russians later took it down once they realized their mistake.
This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin? (The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment).

Oh my goodness, Trump said something off color about women!
Not quite. He bragged about committing sexual assault.

Peak Trump
In a deposition for Trump Plaza bankruptcy case, Trump's own lawyer testified they often met with him in pairs because Trump lied so much. :)

Most Asian Americans like me support Trump because we think Hillary and Obama and their left wings are the racists.

Then Benghzai happened in 2012 which is even further and even older news and we should also not talking about it right?
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.
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.

It takes 5 seconds to google a fact check from an independent source.

The Haiti story is far more complicated than the simple meme that Trumpers pass around.
If you are curious, here's a long piece written by a Haiti expert. And no, he is not a Clinton puppet.

As I’ve noted before, I’ve seen Trump’s tax returns -- in conjunction with an unsuccessful libel suit he filed against me in 2006 for my book “TrumpNation.” While I can’t write specifically about what I saw, I can say that the returns would give voters useful and tangible insights into Trump’s actual track record as a businessman, philanthropist and taxpayer.
But Trump has chosen not to release his returns. And I doubt he ever will, because they would reveal that the career he boasts so much about is built on sand.

Five Facts About the Trump Tax Return Disclosure
http://taxfoundation.org/blog/five-facts-about-trump-tax-return-disclosure
The documents indicate Trump had enormous business losses. The documents indicate Trump (and his then-wife Marla) earned wages and salaries of $6,108; interest income of $7,386,825; dividend income of $26,051; business gains of $3,427,092; real estate losses of negative $15,818,562; and “other income” of negative $915,729,293. This is almost certainly what is known as a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, given the amount and the line of the form (although the document references an explanatory statement that remains undisclosed).
Why Trump had such a large net operating loss carryforward is not known from the documents made available. The documents are just the first pages so they are incomplete, and Trump’s campaign has not released any other information that can explain the $915.7 million business loss reported on the 1995 tax return. The Times notes that several Trump ventures had faltered in 1991-92 (the Trump Taj Mahal and Castle casinos in Atlantic City, the Trump Shuttle airline, and the Trump Plaza hotel), resulting in four of the six bankruptcies in Trump’s business record. As part of the bankruptcy settlements, Trump gave up stakes in these properties to creditors in return for debt write-downs. Generally cancellation of debt is taxed as income, except when discharged as part of a bankruptcy proceeding in which case any NOLs are reduced by the debt discharged. Without further documents or clarifications by the campaign, these are guesses.

All Net Operating Losses in 1995: $49.331 billion.
NOL taken by @realDonaldTrump in 1995: $916 million.
Trump was 1.9% of the US total.

Another example is the Supreme court's ruling on Fisher v. University of Texas, which says the school can deny admission merely based on race.
These are typical examples of how Obama administration emphasizes race and encourages conflicts between races.
OMG, muscleman, this is embarrassingly ignorant. You need to learn Civics 101.

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.
