I'll ask again, how many people here think they could take a dollar and turn it into $1000? $100?

I do, and I have plenty of times.

Site is really slow for me the last week or so.

You guys know Hillary is loaded too, right? She certainly didn't grow up poor and pull herself up by the bootstraps.

You're incorrect (in regards to her upbringing), but aside from that you seem to think we find fault in being wealthy...that's not the point. Not even close. I guess you could also point out that they all three had fathers while you were at it.

I pointed out that the half of people you claim don't pay income tax is wrong, as they pay a payroll tax. They don't make enough to pay income tax but are STILL paying taxes for their income and have no loopholesvto skip out on it. Romney was very disingenuous, like that belief.

Exactly, it's been pointed out several times. We all pay taxes, but it's easier to blame everything on the least among us. At least it is for some people...

Trump has created tens of thousands of jobs.

Sure he creates jobs, but he doesn't pay them anything.

I think we can put that myth to bed at this point. Sure he "created jobs" but he's a failure as a CEO, and the little guy suffers as a result, as did the shareholders. He's fantastic at branding, but that's it. Anybody who loses nearly 1 billion running a fucking casino isn't very good at business.

So I've had my car less than 2 weeks and some fucking ASSHOLE hit me in a parking lot while I was getting groceries...no note or anything
Someone deserves a dick punch

We've had that happen to us, not once...but five times with our old Toyota. One time was our neighbor who did it and drove away, and still denied it when we called the police. The only reason we knew was because another neighbor told us. We were also hit in a school parking lot and the lady basically told my wife to go fuck herself before driving away (we got her tag on that one.) Another time the car was crunched while parked at a restaurant, and of course no note. I can't remember the others.

Nobody gives a shit anymore, sad but true. Get it fixed and move on, you'll be fine.

I stayed off the site for weeks at a time and you guys created 120 pages of ridiculousness without me. I'm not the problem. The problem is someone called you on the mess you've made and you don't like it. Too bad. I did nothing you guys weren't doing already short of spicing it up a bit to at least make it interesting versus the snooze fest of Hillary used tampon licking that was going on.

Help us understand. You were calling for the thread to be closed, but then immediately come to this one and shit all over it. If you wanted it closed then why are you right back in this one?

120 pages, and I'd bet zero interactions similar to when you're participating, ie rude, vile (tampon licking roll ) and juvenile.

If you're so sure of yourself, please show everybody here I'm wrong. Stay away from this thread (only) until next Monday and we'll find out. If I'm wrong and the thread devolves into name calling and insults, then I'll leave and you'll never see me here again in a political thread. I'll put my money where my mouth is, will you?

So you think it's okay to be a total douche bag as long as you're attacking a candidate?

In the other thread you said we should lock it up and call it a day. Yet you're back here, and you haven't changed one bit.

The thread isn't the problem, the subject matter isn't the problem...you're the problem.

If you wanted the other thread locked up, and it was, then stay out of this one. Otherwise your request was all for naught.

I challenge you: Stay out of this thread for one week, and I bet it will remain civil. No insults, no rudeness, none of that. It won't happen.

Don't respond, just come back next Monday and I'll guarantee you I'm right.

Same thing every day huh? Anybody who supports this guy has clearly checked their morals at the door.

Yesterday was a magical day in politics if you're one of those people that recognizes the clear and present danger that Donald J. Trump represents for the American people. Here are some things that happened JUST YESTERDAY for Donald Trump's campaign:

It was discovered by the Washington Post that the Trump Foundation did not have the correct paperwork to legally be a charity and you know, raise money from people.
Newsweek reported that Trump's company secretly did business in Cuba in violation of the embargo.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Trump told managers at his California golf club to fire hostesses that Trump found unattractive.
In the middle night, reportedly against the wishes of his campaign managers, he went on a xenophobic, racist, and sexist tirade on Twitter.

THAT WAS ALL JUST YESTERDAY. And yet the beat goes on, because his campaign feels like Michael Myers at this point. So, imagine my delight when I saw these scathing anti-Trump ads. They are so affecting that part of me—albeit probably a delusional part of me—believes that maybe, just maybe they might actually be able to sway some hearts and minds. The ads tell different stories of Americans whom Trump refused to pay for work that they did:
