Trump can save tremendous money by renting airforce one from Netjets.

That's been true for a while. The really important question is how exactly is it going to die. If the third lagerest bank is in trouble, we need to know more about what ales it.

Sounds like you are ready to move to Canada if you are not already here.

Something that might generate a little hope for the USofA, Van Jones has a respectful dialog with people who voted for Trump in Gettysburgh: http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/12/opinions/van-jones-messy-truth/ Apologies if someone already posted this but I think it's worth viewing multiple times.

tengen, I'm not in any way trying to troll or beeing condescending here: I like your comment - if fits my Scandinavian humor. No worries, humor helps to deal with bad situations or long nordic nights.

The US election is over and now we're going to get the sequel reality TV series where we find out what sort of president Donald Trump will be. Who is he going to appoint to his cabinet? Will he get along with establishment Republicans like Paul Ryan? How will he remove the potential for conflicts of interest with the Trump Organization? What is he really going to do about immigration, trade, NATO, Russia, China, etc. Will he ever reveal his tax returns? Will Mike Pence be the Dick Cheney to Trump's Bush 43? Who is he going to appoint to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court? There are a lot more questions but the one I am most interest in is whether Trump will regain control of his twitter account. As a Canadian, I can only wish good luck to our southern neighbours.

A reporter has documented all the falsehoods told by Trump: https://www.thestar.com/news/world/uselection/2016/11/04/donald-trump-the-unauthorized-database-of-false-things.html Clinton is a paragon of honesty in comparison.

The decoupling trend continued in 2015: http://www.pwc.co.uk/services/sustainability-climate-change/insights/low-carbon-economy-index.html

That's why I asked if facts matter to you. No more or less than any other human, and in the context of politics that means no. Anyone who claims otherwise is simply deluding themselves. Well I guess that's the end of the conversation. Please excuse me while I continue to lead my delusional existence.

I agree with you that facts and reason are unlikely to change the minds of many or even most people. That doesn't mean we shouldn't aspire to something better. That's why I asked if facts matter to you. I'll give up asking if you prefer not to answer. By the way, I have read some of the articles Trump supporters have posted to CoBF. The ones that didn't turn out to be conspiracy sites turned out to contradict the point the Trump supporter was trying to make. If you have a link to an article you'd care to post, I promise to give it a read.

They certainly don't matter to Trump. In 40 minutes of speaking time, he made 33 false statements And how many minds will this change? Answer: Zero How about your mind? Do facts matter to you? https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/10/10/fact-check-donald-trump-made-33-false-claims-at-second-debate.html

It's a fact that Bill Clinton managed to squeeze hefty sums out of some foreign countries for his speaking engagements. The conspiracy and innuendo is where you suggest that the fees were payoffs to gain some sort of influence over the state department. There is absolutely no evidence to support that. I'd like to see Trump's tax returns before concluding that he doesn't need money from the "ultrarich". Here's a little "conspiracy and innuendo" back at you: What if Trump owes a ton of money to Russian sources? That would explain why he keeps talking up Putin and why he won't release his tax returns.

Did Assange promote any hotels?

Have you even read the article you reference here? It does nothing to support any of your assertions.

There's some evidence that economic growth may be decoupling from carbon emissions: link to article.

https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/09/16/trump-campaign-abandons-obama-birth-conspiracy-in-totally-debunked-statement-analysis.html Absolutely mind boggling.

It's easy enough to check someone's post history. Why don't you do some due diligence before engaging in slander? I hope you put in a better effort in your investing.

The Clinton Foundation financial statement clearly separates program expenses from management expenses. I couldn't find anything hidden in the tax return that contradicts the notes (page 18) or, as you characterize them, makes them out to be misleading. If there is, I would appreciate you letting me know as I clearly missed it. It is true that the program expenses contain a large amount for salaries, but that is actually not very different from the Gates Foundation. The reason it looks different superficially is that Gates distributes money to organizations to deliver services while Clinton has its own salaried people. For example, Gates gave $5 million to an outfit called UPD Consulting to provide "management, implementation and technical support to four separate Florida school districts". Clinton pays people directly to do this kind of work. Overall, the Clinton Foundation's management and fund raising expenses are roughly 12% of total expenses (based on 2014 report). It is true that the Gates Foundation has a much lower percentage (roughly 2% in 2016) but you would have to add up the management overhead of all the grantees to do a more apples to apples comparison.

What do you mean by page 28? I've looked at the 28th page of the document and the page that has "page 28" at the bottom and neither one has the information you are quoting. Page 18 of the notes contains a pretty clear summary of program, management and fund raising expenses. There's nothing in the tax return that I can see that contradicts the notes or reveals extra information.

SBUX. There was a good discussion about Starbucks business model and competitive edge. I am not a fan of their coffee but I own some shares.

Trump doesn't want people to know that he deducted the cost of his toupee as a business expense.
