Did Hunter pay taxes on his consulting fees?
You and Trump try to make it sound like Hunter walked away with that pile of money. They started an investment. "the $1.5 billion was what the fund hoped to raise in 2014 for investments. It is not the value of the management company in which Hunter Biden now holds a minority share." www.factcheck.org/2019/10/trumps-claims-about-hunter-biden-in-china/

That’s BS and you know it. It’s not BS and you know it, we are now even on that one. Let’s get back to the discussion about who is better suited to be POTUS. What do JB and KH know about creating jobs compared to DJT? Maybe you could actually give answers and not just keep saying “orange man bad” over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Look I found a job created by Biden:

should be a fun debate this evening. I wish it had a betting line. Thanks to a 2018 Supreme Court ruling you can now bet on almost anything in America, except who wins tonight's debate, because that is debatable There are lots of prop bets like the color of their ties, who sips water first, what state or specific word gets said first, all the way to who wins the election, which Vegas oddsmakers favor Biden over Trump (-120 to Even)

That's what happens when you lie and/or exaggerate all the time. When you do tell the truth or are on the level, no one believes you. So you do understand why Trump has zero credibility. Good for you!

Guess Donald has already decided the debate went well. This was sent out two hours before it started. 🤔

I think wheelie is right in that the tax laws permit those kinds of write offs. I think it would be an issue if people are being paid by government funds(tax payers money) then that is a conflict of interest and against the law. If the circumstances are that the people are paid from personnel income and then write that off, that is OK. I know that, the write off isn’t a problem in and of itself, the double dipping is the issue here. And it doesn’t have to be illegal to be unethical. Apparently Trump claimed $26 million of consulting fee write-offs, which begs the question how much of that was paid to his kiddos who were serving as both managers of operations for daddy’s company as well as consultants to the projects that they were supposedly managing as well. I used to think that Zenny, then I found out when I got screwed the big investment company based in Omaha that loves to toot about how Ethical they are does in fact tie Legal=Ethical. If its legal, in big business its Ethical pal.

You can disagree with that until cows turn pink, when it screws you over like it did me and was totally unethical but nothing was done about it since there was no legal jeopardy for the company in the action, well. And because it wasn't illegal, not much we could do about it except pay a lawyer thousands for maybe a 5% chance we could beat a mega corporation. Looked like a bad deal to me so we just bent over.

Certainly sounds unethical to me.

This is pure gold, Yanks demolishing Indians and this is basically an SNL skit performed live by two clowns

I hope the VP debate is more civil than that one. Two old guys arguing like little kids isn’t a good look. I love the post game analysis. Each side thinks their candidate handled it well and the other was the problem. Comical.
