    Some people are going to look back at the way they supported Trump this year and feel the same feelings they get when they look at the clothes they wore in the 70s and 80s.

    Look at it this way Byz.

    It's not just Trump.

    Trump, the one honest guy in the race...for better or worse.

    Cruz...a venal,avaricious, lying scumbag of the first order.

    Hillary, See Cruz above. Except more evil.

    Sanders...Half honest. But knows all that Free shit sounds nice, but isn't free.

    That is the state of the race to be the leader of the free world.

    This is what our national ambivalence to politics has wrought. We have been pampered and permitted to be, basically shitty citizens for the last 50 years.

    The last people to actually give a shit, came of age in the 50's.

    Ever since the white picket fence, and trying to make sure your kids were the first in the family to go to college, it's been a slow Slouch towards Gomorrah...

    Is being honest really all that valuable if you are a piece of human garbage to begin with?

    It's like being the prettiest girl at the burn ward.

    Still the prettiest by comparison.

    Cruz has revealed himself to be avaricious on a scale not seen since Nixon, Hillary too.

    Kind of my point.

    You have
    A Joke,
    Evil,
    More Evil,
    A socialist (evil)

    at least most people can take a joke.Bu
    We get the government we deserve in the end.

    And right now, we're taking it in the end.

    Buggery.

    Consider,
    McCain...douche.
    Romney, revealed himself to be a douche in this election.
    Obama, subsists on Vinegar and Water.
    Gore..


    The four running now.

    That means the last decent man to run for President in this century was George W Bush.

    I comfort myself in knowing that the POTUS is nothing more than a talking head that reads carefully prepared speeches in between photo ops and watching episodes of The Bachelor on the Oval Office couch.

    It's not much comfort, but it gets me by.

    Didn't you see that episode of Apprentice All-Stars when Trump fired Omarosa after she got in that argument with Dennis Rodman?

    That's as real as it gets, bro.

    about who and what he is, pretty much.

    He just doesn't give a fuck.

    kind of refreshing.

    So you believe he's a Republican now? Why? Because he says stuff?

    I don't care if he's a Republican.
    I'm not one either.

    I do care that of the four remaining horses in this race, he's the one that doesn't deserve to be shot.

    If only for the fact that he gives the GOPe a case of the vapors.

    The GOPe is killing conservatism and raping libertarianism.

    He says AWESOME stuff! Come on, haven't you always yearned for a candidate to say he wanted a heckler to get punched in the face?

    How about the Hillary stuff? That shit is fucking gold!

    And who doesn't hate that fat dyke Rosie O'Donnell? Self righteous blob of recycled donut crumbs, she is.

    I think the shame of this whole presidential race is that it's not ALL reality TV stars running. Come on, Flava Flav would have been perfect for the Dem ticket. He'd get the black vote AND the giant fat Scandinavian whore vote. What a dream ticket that would be.

    And just think about it... wouldn't you just fall over and die for the great VP speeches that Kanye would give? He'd probably have a daily rant about why Kim Jong Un won't wear his shoes.

    Donald Trump Is Understating His Debt by $500 Million

    [​IMG]
    It
    ’s the one thing he’s not bragging about.

    On the campaign trail, Donald Trump has said dealing withthe nation’s $18 trillion debt will be easy. One reason: Trump could just choose to ignore it. That appears to be how Trump has dealt with some of the debt on his own balance sheet.

    You’d think that disclosing the total amount one owes would be an essential line item in any net worth statement, but that figure appears nowhere in Trump’s most recently released balance sheet. The Donald does list a category called “loans and mortgages,” but that number surprisingly excludes the debt Trump has on a number of buildings that he is a partial owner of, as well as debt he carries on a pile of assets that Trump says are worth over $300 million, but he just labels as “other.”


    In a previous story, I found that in public financial disclosures, Donald Trump was counting revenues from golf courses, hotel rooms, and sundry sources as “income.” Since Trump didn’t subtract salaries, utilities, maintenance and all the other routine costs, the big numbers he’s trumpeting aren’t income at all, but gross sales. Just as he was overstating his income, his financial statement appears to be understating the size of his debt. The Donald clearly believes that the public deserves no more than a murky view of his own debt picture.

    (For another look at Trump’s wealth read: A Look Inside Donald Trump’s Lavish $200 Million ‘Palace’)

    Through heavy digging, Fortune identified the loans Trump has on these other buildings that are not included on his released balance sheet. Add to the loans and mortgages he does disclose and Fortune has determined that Trump’s total debt balloons to nearly $1 billion, or about double what he specifically acknowledges he owes. And it could be even larger.

    What’s more, Trump, even though he says he isn’t, byFortune‘s calculations appears to be ignoring debt when calculating his equity in two of his most prestigious properties that are at the heart of his commercial office portfolio. He claims that portfolio is worth $1 billion. But factor in debt and it may only be worth half of that. Put it together and you get a better picture of why Trump is likely worth no where near the $10 billion he says he is.

    To understand why, you have to see how I get there.

    First, let’s look at take a look at the size of his true debt load. In a balance sheet unveiled on June 16th of last year, the day he announced his candidacy, Trump declared a net worth of $8.7 billion, a figure updated in the July release to“in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS,” the only words emblazoned in capital letters.

    The June balance sheet does list debt of $503 million, which is labeled “loans and mortgages,” a seemingly modest figure for a tycoon of his self-declared “massive” wealth. But a lot more debt is connected to his buildings than Trump is letting on. In fact, Trump is subtracting the mortgage amounts to arrive at the equity figure for some holdings. Others he is presenting at full value. But it appears that only the loans on the properties that are held at full value are making into that $503 million number.

    Take the asset category labeled “Real Properties owned less than 100% by Donald J. Trump.” The two dominant holdings there are 1290 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, and 555 California Street, the former Bank of America complex, in San Francisco. In both of those office holdings, Trump’s partner is Vornado Realty Trust VNO 0.10% , a highly successful REIT led by CEO Steven Roth.

    Trump gives the partnership bucket on his balance sheet a total value of $943 million, “net of debt.” How much debt? Vornado’s 10-K discloses that 1290 carries a mortgage of $950 million, and 555 is encumbered by a loan of $589 million. Trump, according to the Vornado filings, owns 30% of the two buildings. That means Trump’s share of the overall borrowings of $1.55 billion is $465 million.

    That brings Trump’s debt figure up to at least $968 million. But we’re not done yet. Trump has other loans that are lying under camouflage as well. Trump’s balance sheet also has a category label “other assets” that he’s claiming are worth $317 million. Those assets, like the partially owned buildings, are listed as “net of debt.” What is that other stuff? Trump doesn’t say but it could include such things as five airplanes, a golf production company, the rights to operate the skating rink in New York Central Park as well as the Ferry Golf course in the Bronx, and Trump Model Management. But while Trump discloses how much income he gets from these assets and a range for their worth, he doesn’t say how much he has borrowed against them, or how much he owes on other unidentified assets that may provide security for loans.

    The bigger problem is this: While Trump says that he has netted the debt out of his partially owned properties, it doesn’t appear he has. Either that or he has grossly inflated the value of the properties. The only financial statement that Trump has released—the one from June—is two years old. The value of those properties have surely increased since then. Given what real estate values have done since then, I estimate Trump’s 30% stake of the buildings to be around $1.1 billion. Subtract around $100 million for a third minority holding—his 50% share in the Trump Hotel International Hotel Las Vegas—and Trump is effectively boasting that his equity in the Vornado-Trump office towers is worth $1 billion or more.

    You say he's honest about what he is. He claims to be a republican. I don't care if you care if he's a republican. Do you believe he is, because you are saying he's honest about who he is. I have serious doubts.

    The GOP is a dumpster fire.

    If GJ is on the ballot in NY come November he has my vote. I refuse to support Hillary or Trump.
