A temperature change of 3.5X10^-20 degrees, while technically an increase, is not really worth mentioning outside of superfluid research.

Nothing is heating up. No one cares except you and Julian Assange.

[time4fun]

Yeah- the actual story here is that Russia is actively working to sway the US Presidential election.

But keep talking about speeches. Seriously, huge deal.

[Warriorbird]

There's legitimate issues about Clinton but these folks mostly seem to dwell on her being a politician. We knew that.

For something you claim isn't a huge deal you always feel the need to instantly hop on my dick whenever I post something negative about her royal majesty.

For sure. This email/speech shit is a dead end though... Unless someone pulls out evidence she was selling black tar heroin to inner city kids in Chicago or some shit, I don't see anything really causing her to drop out or lose traction.

Hillary's greatest strength is she has so many scandals that no one cares about any new scandals anymore.

[Dendum]

Yea I was reading this quote right here and I was like OH SHIT NO SHE DIDNT


*Tim O’Neill Told Clinton “We Really Did Appreciate It” When She Had Been “Courageous In Some Respects To Associated With Wall Street And This Environment.” *“MR. O'NEILL: By the way, we really did appreciate when you were the senator from New York and your continued involvement in the issues (inaudible) to be courageous in some respects to associated with Wall Street and this environment. Thank you very much. SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I don't feel particularly courageous. I mean, if we're going to be an effective, efficient economy, we need to have all part of that engine running well, and that includes Wall Street and Main Street. And there's a big disconnect and a lot of confusion right now. So I'm not interested in, you know, turning the clock back or pointing fingers, but I am interested in trying to figure out how we come together to chart a better way forward and one that will restore confidence in, you know, small and medium-size businesses and consumers and begin to chip away at the unemployment rate. So it's something that I, you know, if you're a realist, you know that people have different roles to play in politics, economics, and this is an important role, but I do think that there has to be an understanding of how what happens here on Wall Street has such broad consequences not just for the domestic but the global economy, so more thought has to be given to the process and transactions and regulations so that we don't kill or maim what works, but we concentrate on the most effective way of moving forward with the brainpower and the financial power that exists here.”

Hillary's greatest strength is the radio-right has made up so much bullshit over nothing all the white noise blends into one big sob fest.

Tax returns are traditionally released by the candidates, and they provide insights into income, deductions, and donations. Donations in particular would be a great way to tell what Trump cares about because up until recently he was liberal, and now he's conservative. So when Trump refuses it looks weird, and when he lies about it ("IRS won't let me"), it looks even weirder.

Cute.

So here is the first link in its entirety:


Let’s talk taxes, specifically, Donald Trump’s taxes, because if he is elected President of the United States, that and his many other financial secrets will be all anyone in Washington will be discussing for years to come.

Unlike every other nominee for the presidency over the past four decades, Trump has refused to release his tax returns. He uses the bogus claim that he can’t because he is being audited, an argument Richard Nixon could have used to block releasing his tax returns in the midst of the Watergate scandal, but didn’t (after a lot of delay). Also, Trump’s returns from 2002 through 2008 can be released without an issue—all audits involving them are over. But he wants to pretend—or should I say lie?—that turning over records more than a decade old will somehow affect a current audit.

Let’s not pretend: Trump is hiding something. Is he a tax cheat? Does he give nothing to charity? Does he derive income from investments in Ukraine and Russia? Who knows? He has a labyrinthine collection of partnerships, private corporations, holding companies and other investments. America does not know if he is a joint investor with unsavory characters (he has been before) or what financial incentives drive him. So imagine the day after Trump is elected president. If there is a Democratic majority in the Senate—which appears likely—the first subpoena coming out of a congressional committee will be for his tax returns. Whatever nasty secrets they contain will come spilling out. The next set of subpoenas will be for the Trump Organization, the assorted partnerships and family trusts controlled by Trump and his private company, and every other shred of financial information he is hiding. As Nixon once said, in declaring that he welcomed an examination of his taxes, “People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook.”

Normally, those subpoenas might be considered fishing expeditions, but in Trump’s case, it will be essential oversight of the executive branch. No one would be able to know if Trump travels to Russia to continue his game of kissy-face with Vladimir Putin because he is acting in the interest of the United States or because he is in a financial deal with the Russian dictator or some of his oligarch pals.

Republicans—and members of the media who aren’t thinking this through—are yipping about potential conflicts of interest for Hillary Clinton because of contributions to the Clinton Foundation when she was secretary of state. This is a legitimate inquiry, but this “scandal” is about money going to charitable efforts all over the globe, with the names of contributors in the public domain. No one has suggested Clinton or any member of her family personally benefited, unless you count the pleasure they might have received in helping battle neglected tropical diseases that ravage underdeveloped nations or from any of the group’s other worthwhile endeavors.

Compare this with the Trump Organization, which is private and secretive. It puts money directly into his pockets and his kids’ pockets. How much? We don’t know. From where? We don’t know. Is the financial benefit Trump receives from the Trump Organization shaping his foreign policy proposals, as vague as they are? We don’t know.

Now dig into Trump’s lie about why he can’t release his tax returns. Pretend the audit argument is legitimate. Fine. Let him keep them secret.

Instead, release the first two pages of his Form 1040, plus his one-page Schedule A dating back to, say, 2006. A decade should suffice. These documents, nothing more than a summary of his tax returns, could not affect any audit. The only thing these three pages reveal is the bottom line; they are like the back-cover description of a book. Even if Trump insists he must keep the metaphorical book hidden, he can at least tell us what it’s about.

Here’s what we would learn from those three pages: Trump’s gross, adjusted gross and net income by type. His total claimed deductions. His effective federal tax rate and the total amount he paid in taxes. His total charitable contributions (since he brags about that so much, he should be willing to reveal them). The amount he paid in state and local taxes, by type. That information would resolve some of the big questions about Trump and his finances.

Trump could also release two other documents without affecting any audit. As my colleague Matt Cooper has written, Trump has yet to prove he is being audited. He could simply release the letter the IRS sends to notify taxpayers their returns are being examined. If it exists, why won’t he release it?

Trump can also make public a sworn affidavit identifying his investors and business partners, as well as his financial relationships with them. It is all likely going to come out through subpoena when he is president; why not let the American people know the answers now?

As we move closer to the election in November, perhaps those reporters following Trump on the campaign trail are going to start recognizing he can release those three pages from his taxes, the audit letter and the affidavit without causing a ripple at the IRS audit office. If they really want to do their jobs, they will start pressing Trump for those documents, and his excuses will put the lie to this “I’m under audit” nonsense. My colleagues in the press will soon come to realize that the secrets and potential conflicts hidden in Trump’s finances are far more important than whether Clinton met with a Nobel Prize winner who contributed to the Clinton Foundation when she was secretary of state—as the Associated Press recently huffed and puffed in what was easily the worst article of the election year.

If there is something untoward about Trump’s businesses and personal finances, Americans need to know now, rather than waiting to discover later if that now-hidden information will set off the rumblings of another impeachment when the curtain is pulled back. Running for president is not a game. The White House is not some trophy anyone should be allowed to grab without revealing basic information. Reporters, Democrats and even Republicans should insist that Trump release those three pages, the letter and the affidavit.

And if he refuses? Then voters should reject him. Trump may love Putin, but he shouldn’t be allowed to keep his finances secret, as do all the other cronies of the Russian dictator.

Okay. So where in there does Trump state "IRS won't let me"?

The argument I have always heard from Trump is that Trump doesn't want to release his tax returns because he is being audited, not that the IRS won't let him release his tax returns.

This is why the "Google it!" crowd always make me laugh, they know they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar so are now placing the onus on the other person to prove the bogus claim they just made.

That was an obvious reference to Pelosi regarding passing Obamacare.


HOW have you not heard that before?

I'll ask you the same thing, when has Trump said the "IRS won't let me"? Because if I recall the second debate correctly, Trump said he would release his tax returns if Hillary released the 33,000 emails she deleted. A pretty bold statement to make if the IRS is actually preventing him from releasing his tax returns.


However I am starting to understand how it works in the bubble from you not being exposed to the IRS claims which have been everywhere for the last 6 months. What gets me about Trumps message is that it depends on people being retarded level stupid to be believed. His effort to cast birther on the Clinton camp only works if you are too damn stupid to look at the easily available online material that shows trump constantly talking about Obama and birth certificates...or you could just be alive for the last decade and saw it over and over again on the news and the internet. It isn't Clinton or any of her surrogates on the news for the last 8 years talking about this issue it is Trump but somehow we are suppose to forget that. However I am starting to understand how it works in the bubble from you not being exposed to the IRS claims which have been everywhere for the last 6 months.

How ironic this entire paragraph is if you can't produce a quote from Trump stating the "IRS won't let me" in regards to him releasing his tax returns.

Where exactly? This line, which isn't even a direct quote?

"Unlike every other nominee for the presidency over the past four decades, Trump has refused to release his tax returns. He uses the bogus claim that he can’t because he is being audited"

Trump refuses to release his tax returns and uses the argument that it's because he is being audited.

Here is what the Clinton News Network (http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/07/politics/donald-trump-tax-audit-tax-returns/) says about the issue:


First and foremost is the idea that the audit precludes Trump from releasing his returns. This, according to tax lawyers, is not correct. Now, Trump has made clear that he's operating under the advice of his lawyers, who recommended he not release his returns. Trump's view is backed up by his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who, in an earlier stage of the election, when she was supporting Sen. Ted Cruz, had called for Trump to release his returns.

Trump is saying he won't release his tax returns because of the ongoing audit, he did not say the IRS is actually preventing him from releasing his tax returns.

So we're clear, I think Trump's reasoning is bullshit, but let's not make the situation look worse than it really is.

[Dendum]

He actually said he cant release his tax returns.

[Androidpk]

So we're clear, I think Trump's reasoning is bullshit, but let's not make the situation look worse than it really is.

When someone says they can't release a tax return because they're being audited, the implication is that there is a legal reason behind it. In any case my interest in arguing 1+1=2 is at 0 so carry on.

[Androidpk]

According to numerous emails there was a lot of concern that someone in both Hillary's and Bill's circle of staff someone was actively leaking stuff. I'm confused now because I've been told by all the Hillarists and liberal media that Russia is behind all the leaks.

When the IRS contradicted that claim he changed his argument, and you are correct that that current argument is not "the IRS won't let me". It would be incorrect to conclude from that that he never said "the IRS won't let me".
