I do not see where I am being rude or condescending at all. No more than all the Trump haters saying he "cheated on his taxes" over and over with no proof or even explanation as to how he might have done this.
"Screaming" is a figurative term. Meaning that you seem to bring up Trump's taxes quite a bit, but are not upset about AMZN paying no taxes. I am just wondering why the unequal concern given that AMZN is probably 100 times as big as the Trump empire.
Do you think AMNZ cheated on their taxes to do this? I honestly think this is an honest question. I also think it is fair to ask those who say he cheated on his taxes what they think he did.
And I do not find anything wrong with calling out that you say we need to trust testimony of a guy convicted of perjury. You would be all over someone if they said that.

Amazon is not the issue, and is not even analogous. It's just trying to change focus away from Trump.
Cohen was convicted for a lie he told to protect Trump. Trump lied repeatedly about it, and Cohen conformed his testimony to match Trump. He has documents showing draft testimony he submitted to WH lawyers that were changed, and though that testimony and documents are under the closed session umbrella, the implication is that the lawyers and/or Trump had him lie.
What does that say about Trump? Why don't you care? He demeans and devalues the Office of the Presidency, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law on a daily basis, and you guys just go, so what. The people who love this country are not wearing Red Hats. They love the facade, the fairy tale about how it was."back then" in some vague and hazy past.
There is no common ground any more. You can't believe in America and believe in Trump.

If the issue is paying no taxes because of use of carry forward losses it very much is. Because the issue is not taxes, it is TDS. The haters who complained about Obama's birth certificate (a constitutional issue) are the ones making the most noise about it.

I do not find him demeaning the office at all. I find him patriotic. I think he acts like an alpha-male leader, which is a good thing. The PC crowd cannot handle this. They cannot handle that he acts as the leader of the USA, not some member of a board of directors where the world is who they work for.
I believe in America. I believe in Trump. I do not trust our government at all.

THIS. A million f#$%ing times THIS.
Watching lefties during Obama made me sad. For sure there's a minority of the Right that hated him just because he was black. For sure. But I found that Mr Obama was deserving of a lot of criticism, criticism that could never be levied due to the screams of "racism" drowning out any conversation. I thought it was a terrible look, and (at least in my eyes) did much to damage the reputation of the "party of compassion". AZD oft used the phrase "cult of personality" when referring to them, and I found it hard to argue in many cases. There was no "right and wrong". Everything was "us v them".
Now we're here, and... I don't know what I expected. I'm just old enough to remember the old man Christian outrage of Clinton. What a f#$%ing disaster that man was, how dare he defile the office of the presidency, this is not the kind of man we want, character matters. Y'all were there, y'all heard it. Now we have Trump. And was does old man Jesus say now? "The Dems made it OK in '92, we're just playing by your rules."
Fair enough. But f#$%ing IS IT REALLY? What kind of man are you when your morals and values are so fragile and easily discarded? What does that say about our integrity when we do that, that we'll commit the same actions we found immoral and feel vindicated when doing so? I remember a party back in my drug years, at my best dudes house. F#$%ed out of my mind I caught a dude messing with an underage girl; one of those "just party things", but something that I knew, even with 2 tabs and half an eight ball in my head, that was f#$%ing wrong. Does the fact that someone else was doing it mean I am free to do whatever? Does the fact that she likely wouldn't remember matter? Does the fact that I'm there for a good time and don't need the drama matter? Does the fact that he was "on my team" mean I am somehow responsible for supporting him?
F#$% NO! I blew that GD party up on the spot, because f#$% your party, f#$% our friendship, f#$% whatever good-vibe-don't-get-the-cops-called threads are running at the moment, something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Is there anyone here that would dare say that what I did was wrong? Then why do you support that mentality now?
Imagine if Barrack Hussein Obama gave security clearance to Michelle and Talia and Malia. Healthcare would crumble overnight due to mass runs on proctologists due to 110mm Americans simultaneously s#$%ting a chicken, yet here we are with Daddy Don handing out clearance like they're fast passes at Disney. Not a peep. Y'all righties were apoplectic when Obama bowed to Saudi Arabia. Now the Prince kills our journalist, Don lets him slide and all but says says flat out "They buy a lot of s#$%, tho", and y'all don't make a peep. The sheer amount of f#$%ery should give anyone pause. He doesn't trust the UK, not Germany, not France, not Canada, not his own intelligence agencies, but he believes Putin, Il, Xi... does integrity mean nothing to you? I say this Red v Blue bulls#$% has made you a pawn, and this is my evidence. Show me how I'm wrong.
Remember in that other post I said s#$% "haunts me"? When I wished for all to burn, it was because I felt .gov is not but a bunch of clandestine theatre; I wanted it to burn to reveal all that's hidden and WITH THE CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS SHOWN ON 12/07/41 or 9/11/01, we'd cast all the charred garbage out and take control of this mess. Really start to grow. But holy s#$%... be a lot easy if not for these dude tossing chlorine everywhere talm bout "it's fertilizer, the very best".
Whatever, just ranting now, and I've spent far too many quality hours contemplating that s#$% stick and would like to go back to work. Fret not, Babs. We see Trump just fine. And the Neo-Nazi and misogynistic incel types you worry about aren't the only ones becoming empowered and emboldened by his actions. We got this.

Please explain it to me slowly.
Then explain what we should do differently.
Then explain why it hasn't been done already.
Perhaps we should just nuke them and get it done with?
Perhaps we shouldn't do anything and just mind out own business?

If Trump needs to pound sand up Kims ass to rid NK of nukes, then that's what he's going to do, even if you call him names. In this case, the ends do justify the means.
Look at the big picture. Kim hasn't exploded a nuke since he and Trump started face to face talks.
You were wrong about Kim leaving his country, you I think were wrong about the two meeting face to face. You are wrong about POTUS being a p**sy. We've got 8 hot wars going right now, how many wars does Trump need to be in, so you think of him as "not a p**sy"? Do you want him to nuke NK?
And the POTUS's job is not to please the American public, it is to uphold the constitution.

Hehe, sorry. Blackass recently flipped and DST is around the corner so I'm kinda manic at the moment. I'll slow down for this one...
Your opener highlights my point. How long have we talked? 6-8 years? How much we know about each other? How many DT conversations about DIY and YT and Netflix? All of my posts over those 6-8yrs about hating cable news, my distaste for media in general, and so many conversations centered around me not even having TV at all for the last seven years and how I'll never get it again, how do you ignore all that and still slap the divisive label of "CNN/MS watcher" onto me? We share so many common interests, values, and beliefs. Sure, I do stupid kid stuff and you do dumb old man stuff, and on those activities we'll never agree. But in all things that matter, we've always been as cool as ever. Yet now, you feel a need to separate yourself from me, and you do so by labeling me with a title that represents one of the things you dislike the most. WHY? Do you even know? Can you understand what I'm talking about now, and why I find it "disconcerting"?
There right v wrong and then there's us v them. I feel many could do with an adjustment to their compass.

I totally disagree. Face has been more than fair to Trump. He gave him more than a few chances to prove he could lead this country.
YOU have suspended any personal values or integrity you have in order to ignore the hundred violations of decency, decorum, rule of law, and basic social behavior Trump has made, the nearly 10,000 provable lies he has told the American public, and the extreme disloyalty he has shown to this country on numerous occasions.
Face has not. He looks at what has happened and decides for himself, and the jury has returned a verdict. I feel sure that if Trump had shown himself to be what he says he is, rather than the actions he's taken and the lies he's told to con people, Face would be supporting Trump.
Why do you do this? Have you no self respect, no higher purpose, no love for country that allows you to place your own hard-earned integrity and values above personal loyalty to Trump?

I've said before, I've had a distaste for Trump for ever. If I had to put a date on it, I'd say roughly '92, give or take a couple. Even at the age of 8-12, I knew that adultery was wrong. My distaste was planted that long ago. I never had a taste for womanizing, even in the most hormonal of days. I generally view "playboys" as weak people. As you may have picked up from my constant disparagement of modern athletes juxtaposed to my constant championing of Barry Sanders types, I have a distaste for braggadocio. I think vanity is silly, I disagree with excessive wealth, I believe in the defense of those less able, I desire stoicism; all these beliefs have come from my life experiences, which wove the threads of the roots that made the foundation of my life. These are my beliefs, some of which extend all the way back to my first memories. Donald Trump happens to be the antithesis to many of them, and was so long before even The Apprentice. If any media is responsible for my hate, it would be the very paper that would cover up for him some 26 years later - The National Enquirer.
It's really that simple. And this is exactly the source of my consternation. It's regular ol integrity from a known friendly and you're confusing it for liberalist propaganda. You know I'm an ammosexual, an outdoorsman, a country boy who doesn't and won't accept a dime he don't earn. We've argued together against entitlements, railed against the welfare state, and you've watched (and sometimes engaged in) me ensuring there's not yet another fatherless child running around without direction, as you know my thoughts on that whole deal pretty much mirror yours. All this evidence to the contrary, yet still had to try to shoehorn me into lib status?
Does it give you no pause at all?

Ever notice that the lefties are more often upset about the things that don't matter?
"He did not condemn the white demonstrators."
"He called countries ********s"

When I was in management the last 2 years or so I was that guy. Last year for sure. They could not keep managers. I was co-manager for about a month when we bought a company, the other guy quit. If I could have kept my mouth shut and obey I might have lasted longer. But I could not treat people and do business the way they wanted me to. In the end it was a learning experience of what corporate America will put up with.

I didn't know any of that then. Since then I have only made half-hearted attempts at getting back into management, though now I am mostly stopped completely. I would not mind being a mentor in a more official capacity, but that is about it. Used to get emails from my boss timestamped at 10 on a Sunday night and decided right then and there if they want me to take that job they had better have a pistol, then they would have a chance or a mess to clean up.

When you are young it all looks and sounds great. Eventually reality sets in. You see the dirty inside. You cannot make it without selling your soul. It made me a cynic. I am glad I saw what I saw and got the experience.
When you get clipped, and most people will sooner or later for one reason or another, you are in a weird place. Hard to step right back in as most places want young lions who lap it up. Eventually you end up in a job where they need someone who can work independent but there is no hope of moving up that ole ladder. My industry is filled with this type.
OTOH, it can make you a leader among your peers.

Sorry, you're not getting a pass on comparing Trump to a person someone doesn't like. His job history with the charity and Trump U is scumbaggery. His collusion on overcharging renters when his dad was still more of it. That doesn't mean there aren't people who are not liked, and do a good job but do nothing criminal. Trump's not one of them.
