Trump to replace Rush

[cabse5]

If you think Trump should be locked up, you should, at least, provide some laws Trump has broken.

Tax evasion and bank fraud, charity fraud, his fraudulent Trump university was a ponzi scheme ...that is just to name a few. He is currently under investigation by the state of New York.

That's why my post stands on it's own merit. The SDNY hasn't had it's shot at Trump yet in a court of law. Your statement is meaningless as it is an unfounded, unproven, blanket statement. Each case is unique. Your blanket statement is stupid and wreaks of desperation.

I think trump would be a better replacement for Alex Jones - as a matter of fact he's be perfect! You know how Jones shills for all these snake-oil potions on his show and has marital problems? That's exactly they way trump has been and trump has been doing his entire adult life! It's a match made in hell!

Sure, but what were they going to pursue with no evidence. I agree she was crooked but you can't lock her up until you can prove it.

The fact that evidence that would've been used by a congressional investigation into Hillary's private email server was destroyed is direct evidence of breaking the law. We don't know who broke the law but we know someone broke the law,

There is no evidence of tax evasion on Trump's part. You do know the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance? One difference being tax avoidance is legal and tax evasion isn't.

He paid $750 in federal income tax while he sold property worth millions of dollars, including a 15 million dollar condo in Trump tower in 2015. That is tax evasion, period....a person that has his worth is not going to pay less than an illegal immigrant in income taxes. Are you saying he is bankrupt and not a billionaire?

Is the SSA fraudulent because the SSA is a Ponzi scheme?

Evidently, you aren't aware the law provides great amounts of tax breaks in real estate, for example.

Probably, but there is no actual evidence anymore. Liberals have rights too for now.

Using a fake university to sell a fraudulent real estate scam is a ponzi scheme. SSA is federal law...if you do not want to participate in it, join the Amish.

There is no tax break that would allow a 15 million dollar profit to pay only $750...and I have bought and sold a couple of homes in my life...always had to pay tax on them.

 

[The Mark]

Won't that be the perfect job for our ex-president?

Spewing hate to less-than-college-educated whites who are afraid of minorities?

Trump isn't capable of replacing Rush.

I may dislike the guy, but he could talk and spin stuff quite well when I used to be an avid listener.

Trump can't do that without a script and multiple takes, he'd be a ****ing disaster live.

Except perhaps for those who already believe in him.

Not to worry. You'll see soon enough.

According to the law, destroyers of evidence in a congressional investigation should be locked up. Unless you advocate for unequal justice under the law.

I suggest you look up the definition of Ponzi scheme because there isn't a 'government program disqualifier' for Ponzi scheme. The SSA is a literal example of a Ponzi scheme.

Were you a real estate developer like Trump? I didn't think so. The law provides many incentives in the way of tax breaks, for example, to entice real estate developers to invest their own capital and 'develop' real estate.

 

[cabse5]

Correction. You hope soon enough. In spite of Trump being investigated for phony allegations, what hasn't been done is prove Trump has broken any laws. Trump must be guilty of breaking some law for Trump to go to jail.

And yet 10 years later, you haven't come up with enough to give her a lethal injection. You have tge Senate, the White House and the Supreme Court, yet nothing.

Obstruction of justice occurred in the investigation of Hillary's private email server. We just don't know who performed the obstructing of justice. I guess it isn't important to find out who obstructed justice in this case?

I suggest you educate yourself a bit more on what a ponzi scheme is.

Social Security Is Not a Ponzi Scheme - NCPSSM

Lawmakers, candidates and columnists who support cutting Social Security benefits and/or privatizing the program often claim that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” The history and facts about Ponzi schemes demonstrate that the accusation is absurd.

Lawmakers, candidates and columnists who support cutting Social Security benefits and/or privatizing the program often claim that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” The history and facts about Ponzi schemes demonstrate that the accusation is absurd.


Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system. Current contributors pay for current beneficiaries. It transfers income from the current generation of workers to the current generation of retirees, with the promise that there will be another generation of workers to pay for the current generation of workers’ retirement. It does not require a doubling of participants every time a payment is made to a current beneficiary or a geometric increase in the number of participants. In its essence, Social Security is a contract between generations, binding together the interests of both young and old in a system that provides protection to all.

Unlike a fraudulent secretive Ponzi scheme, Social Security’s finances are transparent to the public, as required by law. Each year Social Security’s actuaries release a detailed report on the system’s finances. Its dedicated funding source – Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) payroll taxes of current workers – are used to pay benefits for current beneficiaries. For years, these taxes more than covered the cost of the benefits, with the surplus (currently, $2.9 trillion) invested in U.S. Treasury securities, widely considered by finance industry professionals and foreign governments as the world’s best and safest investment. The U.S. government has never defaulted on its Treasury security obligations.

That link you presented wasn't a definition of Ponzi scheme. It was an opinion of what a Ponzi scheme was (or wasn't). Here is Webster's definition of Ponzi scheme.https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Ponzi scheme

No, it isn't an opinion...you should have read further


Legal Definition of Ponzi scheme

: an investment swindle in which early investors are paid with sums obtained from later ones in order to create the illusion of profitability
History and Etymology for Ponzi scheme
Charles A. Ponzi (ca. 1882–1949), Italian-born American swindler


there is no illusion of profitability with SSA, it is profitable and it has lifted a ton of people out of dire circumstances.

So, the SSA isn't an investment that is born by those who aren't retired to pay for the retirement benefits of the retired?

except it is not a secret scheme that is not profitable. Most people get far more out than they pay in...with the exception of those who die before they can collect...and even then their spouse or children under age can collect...so, the same holds true.

No. It's not secret and it's not profitable <EDIT: for the gov't> but its still a Ponzi scheme because the SSA depends on payment by the non-retired to keep the SSA solvent. The retired that benefits from the SSA is growing larger (and older) and the workers contributing to the solvency of the SSA are growing smaller and smaller.

BTW, what is the birth rate for the US, right now? I mean, can the US even sustain its own population figure with current birth rates?...If the answer isn't no, it's real close to no.
