Do his supporters think he is a lying crook who would incriminate himself because he doesn't know any better? There's actually a NYS investigation into the Trump family's taxes. Supposedly Trump helped his father dodge taxes when he was alive so the NY AG office is looking into his businesses and likely family finances. Not sure how much they can pin on him personally though since he only recently actually started paying them. Trump had such huge losses in his business failures that he was able to write-off his taxes down to zero for around 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will say his comment about the question being racist is bang on - who else would know racism when he sees it? What a gong show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got it in the bag. Obviously you didn't have the time to watch the entire video, but watching the defeated Trump moan through his "victories"... is priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBH1926 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 4 hours ago, SabreFan1 said: I'm not arrogant enough to say everyone in the 2 parties is or elections would be nearly identical every time. But an ever increasing number of people are becoming so tribal that they are willing to put up with almost anything as long as their side "wins". Newly elected governor of Illinois J.B Pritzker has contributed 161.5 million of his own money to the campaign. He also donated 1 million to newly elected attorney general Kwame Raoul. Raoul replaced Lisa Madigan, who’s father has been Illinois speaker of the house since 1983. To whom Pritzker also recently donated 1 million, every candidate that Mike Madigan backed has won on Tuesday. We had a blue wave here and Republicans got their asses kicked, but what we have is what we called politics the Chicago way. You buy your way in, you control and donate to unions and eventually end up in prison like former governor Blagojevich. Thats the guy that tried to sell Obama’s seat in the Congress, not to mention that guy that Blagojevich replaced Governor George Ryan was also in prison for corruption at the same time.

Just means, or at least seems to be, the alternative must be pretty bad. Anyway, 1/2 of the US population are uninformed/classless/jingoistic blue collar Caucasians plus some white collar worker who want to pay less tax? That is a lot of people into those demographics. Not even half of the population voted, so your estimation is way off, but good try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the guy who was on Trump's reality show shortly before he went to prison. Now that the midterms are over, I'll bet that Trump may end up commuting his sentence to "time served" like he said he was considering doing before the summer began.

HerrDrFunk Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Four of the last seven Illinois governors have ended up going to prison. So I'll definitely be watching Pritzker's gubernatorial career with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blagojevich will get his sentence commuted for sure. His father in law is former Chicago alderman Rich Mell. After Mell retired he was replaced by his daughter Deb Mell. As you can see political offices here get passed on to family members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are being too harsh on all the non voters, there are more important things to do besides voting. Snapchat, selfies on Instagram, get high, keg stand, online shopping, video games, hanging around food court, fantasy sports, reality tv, getting your nails done etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are certainly a large number of people who squander the right they’ve been given, writing off every non-voter as lazy and apathetic is a cop out.
