Title: Political Spin
Post by: MikeBjerum on October 02, 2016, 08:23:09 AM
http://www.facebook.com/President45DonaldTrump/videos/602018766645040/ (http://www.facebook.com/President45DonaldTrump/videos/602018766645040/)

Plucked this video from the book of faces, and a site of a friend.  Watch the first 20 - 30 seconds, and listen to Trump.  Ask yourself where you have heard this before.  The DFL and other liberals have been screaming for years about our infrastructure, the ultimate cost of war, and the refugee crisis.  However, when Trump points it out he is labeled as doom and gloom, pessimistic, and exaggerating to create fear in order to gain votes.

I could go on and on, but I will leave it here for comments ... and then I'll go on and on  ;)

Democrats in general, and themedia in particular try to put negative spin on every word and tweet tat comes from any one vaguely connected wit Trump.
They have no choice realy, they know as well as we do that Hillary isa POS who never had a positive accomplishment in her life.
Remember her healthcare plan ? When it waspresented to congress even the hard core liberals laughed at her.

I don't want to get to Chicago too early today, so I'm watching some CNN (Clinton News Network).  Rather than explain how the tax code works, they are blasting Trump for income averaging and recovering from a loss.  They are playing up the "loophole" as if it is avoidance from paying taxes on income, rather than that it recognizes a loss of asset.  I wonder what they would say if he received a lump sum check for the loss like most poor do when their government granted tax credits are higher than their tax burden?

Trump questioned Hillary's health and stamina, and yes, he mocked her collapse on September 11.  Does CNN question her health and ability to serve?  NO!  They call Trump a bully and unPresidential.

This morning I have seen three different people attack this as a white privilege (racist) tax code that nobody with "brown skin" could benefit from.

These idiots are setting up a Kosovo here and can't see it.

How many sheeple and union lemmings will follow CNN and flush us down the toilet.  What will it take to get people of all colors and genders, I will even include those who choose their own idea of what they are, to understand that the same tax code that Donald J. Trump uses under the advice of his attorneys and accountants helps everyone of us who has a 401K, an IRA, takes advantage of homestead credit on property tax, avoids tax when they sell an appreciated property (home) and purchases another, claims renters credits on their income tax, claims child care credits on their income tax, etc.?

What do I like about Trump the most?  He knows and understands how business works and what is driving our jobs to other countries.  He has proposed many items that will level the playing field and bring those jobs back, even though he takes advantage of the current system - Smart businessman willing to change if the playing field is level.

Have the environmentalists noticed that even though Trump is talking about removing many regulations and restrictions, he is also talking about making them equal with our trade partners - No more free pass on pollution and greenhouse to India, Africa, anyone in Asia, etc.!  If it is good for us it is good for them!

Do "mindless" drones need to be registered like the flying drones?

Yeah, Trump uses every loophole his highly paid accountants can find, no, it probably isn't fair.
 But Trump didn't write the tax code, Trump isn't the one who included the loopholes to benefit his cronies.

The thing is that this one is not a loophole.  He lost money in the operation of his business.

It's loophole if it's not a dimocrud progressive liberal.  Otherwise we shall not speak it.

Gee, know you nothing?

In the eyes of the media it is as much a "loophole" as the "gun show" loophole.

Thing is, the majority of the people realize the "media" are full of shit.
That's WHY the NYT has been losing money for years.
If it weren't for their crossword puzzle they would have been gone years ago.

Yep.  I like having a newspaper to read as opposed to sitting in front of a computer.  However, when I left Louisiana the rags were liberal and got here around Tulsa I found that paper to be owned by eftists.  So..I don't get a newspaper.  I'd like to but I won't by the leftist,...how did Tom put it???
