No, I'm pretty sure I said it will show that he's worth less than what he inherited, and you called me a retard for not believing that Trump is a self made multi billionaire. Also we're still waiting for his tax returns... I'm not going to explain the article to you. Maybe you can read a summary if the NYT is above your reading level.

I do not recommend anyone watch this, but I think it's interesting because it goes to the core of what is wrong with political discourse on both sides. They get stuck on a theoretical argument whether or not you need to substantiate an argument. The conservative guys position is that you can arrive at a correct conclusion through a flawed method, but as long as the conclusion is true you're still correct. Something like if you ask someone what 2x2 is and they say it's 4 because 2+2 is 4. Conservative guy thinks the guy saying it's 4 is correct because he got the answer right. So basically no matter how someone arrives at a conclusion that fits his world view, that someone is correct because he "knows" that he's correct.
Seems to be the same kind of thinking that spawned the 'republican party against critical thinking' portion of their 2012 platform from the wapo article I posted.
You even posted an article to prove how successful Trump has been. I think it was forbes. Remember?Quote:

So if you inherit half a billion, get saved from personal bankruptcy multiple times through million dollar family loans, loan hundreds of millions more from foreign banks by lying about your net worth, default on your loans and end up being worth a fraction of your inheritance, you would still call that successful because he has money?
Let's say I inherit $100, I loan $100, I set $150 on fire. You would call that a successful transaction because I end up with $50?

It's actually more suprising to me that people can watch Capt. Retard for two whole years and NOT believe he's a fuck up at business. Maybe they bought into that whole premise of the Apprentice that he's some super businessman, but still...that's just a TV show.
The GOP has to pull an amazing stunt: act in the interests of big corporations and against the interests of 99% of the american people, but still get elected. The electoral college is a godsent. Having the supreme court just hand you the election if it's close helps, but you still need to convince people to vote for you. You're never going to get an educated demographic on your side, so you can scrap that right away. Appeal to the people dumb enough to fall for your scam - the racists, the religious and old folks in trailer parks. Tell them brown people are coming to replace them, that democrats will go to war with christmas and are coming to execute your baby.
This is a thing one of them said:

"Ich bin ein Frankfurter" -> I am a hotdog
"Ich bin ein Wiener" -> I am a sausage
"Ich bin ein Hamburger" -> I am a ground beef sandwich.
Best subtle comedy routine by a president that I ever made up.

If he wanted to say, "I am a Berliner (person from Berlin)," he should have said, "Ich bin Berliner." Then, Berliner is an adjective describing "I." By saying, "a Berliner," he's indicating that Berliner is a noun. Unfortunate for him that there's a popular donut in Germany called a Berliner. Comically hilarious for the rest of us.

Well maybe, but I'm assuming that according to other grammar texts, other things are said.
Besides, I'm not really trying to be a German grammar expert. Just relaying what I learned in my high school German class. If it was bunk, then fine, I'll drop it.
It doesn't really appear to be bunk, though. The quote is correct, and at least sometimes, the analysis is correct, so it's a fun little conversation piece.
I don't really know what the rule is, but if you relate to yourself it doesn't make a difference whether or not you use a pronoun. If you were to use Berliner as an adjective you definitely need a pronoun. Idk if it's colloquial or if there's an exception, but it doesn't change the meaning - it's both the same as "I am a..."
Are you saying that to call yourself a donut, you'd have to say "Ich bin ein donuter mann?"

Quote:
Virtue — who wouldn’t speak to me directly, but the story was reported by Golf.com and I confirmed it through two other members of the club — was playing with his kid, who I think is 10 or 11 years old. He [Trump] sees Ted on the 9th hole and decides to drive his cart over there. He tells Ted: Congrats on winning the club championship, but you didn’t really win it because I was out of town.
Ted tries to laugh it off, but Trump is dead serious. Trump says, “We’re going to play these last six holes for the championship.” And Ted’s like, “I’m playing with my son, but thanks anyway.” But Trump says, “No, your son can play too.” So they end up playing.
They get to a hole with a big pond on it. Both Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, and Trump hits his in the water. By the time they get to the hole, Trump is lining up the kid’s ball. Only now it’s his ball and the caddie has switched it. The kid’s like, “Daddy, that’s my ball.”
But Trump’s caddie goes, “No, this is the president’s ball; your ball went in the water.” Ted and his son look at each other confused, not sure if this is really happening. And Trump’s caddie says, “This is the president’s ball. I don’t know what to tell you.”
Trump makes that putt, wins one up, and declares himself the club champion.
I wonder what Ted did to piss off Trump

Sort of, I mean if you right click an image you can "copy image address", which is the URL location of the image. If you post that in [img] tags, it'll post the image, while you can also post it in [url] tags and leave a clickable link to the image.Quote:

Click the thumbnail to go to the proper image, and get that location instead. It should be a simple URL address, not a ridiculous string.
For example...
<img>https://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/image.php?u=58355&dateline=1460682783</img>
https://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerf...ine=1460682783

obviously the <> should be [], ie [img]

You shouldn't applaud him. You're basically saying it's ok to commit criminal fraud if the target is someone you don't like. That's not exactly taking the moral high ground, is it?
Does this not expose your hypocrisy? I mean, you're at the point where you hate a man so much due to his moral positions that you're willing to overlook criminal acts against his supporters. You are deeming Trump supporters as acceptable victims of crime.
You're abandoning morality to protest morality.
Hypocrisy defined.
lol lighten up
You're welcome. I know you don't want to come across as a hypocrite, I'm happy to help you not be one. If you want to critisise people in high office for their lack of morality, you kind of have to not be lacking in morality yourself.
Obviously you don't think it's ok to commit fraud against people you don't like. But when you pretend you do, I'll pretend to be outraged about it.
It is not just that I don't like them, it's that I think they are morally vapid and they happened to step into a honeypot guided by their own hatred and stupidity. And by the way... how are you raising objection now, when I literally said I would jack on their corpses AT LEAST TWICE on this very message board! The mind, it boggles.Quote:

First, it's not even plausible that they'll ever raise enough money, so you have to be pretty stupid in the first place to donate money to a hopeless cause. Second, the Kolfage guy has made PT Barnum look like an amateur here. If you asked yourself, "Who can I scam for money?", the typical options would be a) the elderly; b) the religious; c) the greedy; or d) desperately ill people looking for a cure. The genius here is that he went right outside the playbook and picked e) idiots.
Then he had to find a group of idiots who would fall for a scam. That was actually the easy part, as it was pretty hard not to notice how many people had voted Trump in 2016.
And like all good stories, it came full circle: You have idiots voting in a scam artist who promised them Mexico would pay for the Wall, and then when that fell through, those same idiots were specifically targeted by another scam artist to get them to pay for the Wall because they showed themselves gullible enough to fall for the first scam artist.
And in the end, all they bought was a yacht for a scam artist.
Sometime in the next fifty years, they will make a movie about this. Or at least they should.
... makes you wonder what other morally passable ways there are to milk far right populism while it's still hot.

Morally vapid people don't deserve to be fucked over by other morally vapid people. If you actually believe that, than how are you not morally vapid? I just used the word "vapid" three times without actually knowing what it means. I'll assume "bereft". Google says nope. Vapid means bland? Morally bland? Bereft is a better word, it means lacking.Quote:
