The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread

I stand for a set of morals, and take offense at what you said..

You don`t know - none of us really know if all this - ^^^^ is true - none of us can look at this man`s heart and know what it is like..

None of us can really cast the first stone at him, because we have all sinned...

How does one know if he - if anyone of us - is repenting, trying to repent, trying to change, apologizing, making restitution when possible, trying to get better., etc.. ??

The Holy Scriptures teach us to hate the sin but love the sinner.. Why do you think they say that ??

Because Deity is not giving up on any of us, is hoping that one day, we will change and come back; come back home... Luke 15:11-32.. "for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found."

I need to step back from this. There is so much I could say, but i feel it would be taken wrong. I will say this," I believe that whenever a person is invoking religious beliefs it`s very important that their primary focus is to seek the truth. If they`re not doing that , they don`t get it."
 
President Trump`s fortune is down $400 million on Forbes World’s Billionaires list tumbling 200 spots. His voters appreciate the economic sacrifice which flies in the face that Trump is using the White House to become richer.
 
The same people responsible for our $800 billion dollar trade deficit are now telling Trump he is fixing it the wrong way?
 
True no one knows what is in someone`s heart, but damn, how many things does he have to say and do to the contrary before you stop giving him a undeserved break
 
here`s something I can`t wrap my head around
how can a country like Canada (~17% of our seel imports) sell cheaper than a US corp.?

they have higher taxes, both individual and corp, so higher costs
wage structurei/labor costs are similar
higher transportation costs
must already pay a duty and tariff to import to the US

how can they be 25% cheaper?

DBailey --
Thanks for your thoughts.. I know, it`s not easy..

Imagine how our Father and His Son, must feel when they look out at all of us, imperfect people, doing good things, doing not so good things, trying to get better, failing at getting better, and on and on... :)

And They are Never giving up on any, any, of us..
I am so grateful that they have not given up on me..

We are all and will be a work in progress..

The more we can be patient with each other and help each other, the better and easier it will be for all..

their numbers are usually optimistic and often do not account for debt, especially if convoluted transactions
I`d be surprised if trump is actually worth 3 bil after obligations/liabilities

wilber ross claimed >2 bil
he`s off the list now, his sworn government disclosure: 0.7 bil


not that it matters
but why lie when the truth will serve you just as well?

he`s using it to stem losses and gain influence and connections
his profit from resorts has gone up some
it`s real estate and debt killing him
his tax cuts will save him 30 mil due to elimination of the alt min tax

buffett/berkshire tax savings this year:29 bil

40% of the total 75 bil corp cuts
the deficit is going to skyrocket
revenue down: huge budget increase
not that it matters much

the corp cuts are closer to 225 bil
the difference being made up by middle class increases affecting about 40% of them
