There are thousands of “huge companies” that don’t get audited every year, Mr. Trump. The size of your business has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether the IRS takes an interest in your tax returns. Their thinking that you are either omitting information or outright lying on them on the other hand, does.

I hope it drives more people to the Democrats at least for this election. Two reasons…sanity and to send a message to what is left of the garbage pile known as the Republican Presidential Primary.

For the far-right theocrats, it’s not about “protecting” Israel, it’s about preserving Israel… for Armageddon. Then all the Jews will go to Hell or Convert to Christianity when Jesus returns.

At the end of three and a half years, the Antichrist will enter the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15-18, & 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
The Jews will reject the Antichrist, and he will respond with an attempt to annihilate them, killing two-thirds of them in the process (Revelation 12:13-17 & Zechariah 13:8-9).
At the end of the Tribulation, when the Jews have come to the end of themselves, they will turn to God and receive Yeshua as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10, Romans 9:27-28, & Romans 11:25-27).

re: #162 EPR-radar

I think I need to send the story of the Red Dress Girl to this clowns.

Five members of the Dixit family, including three-year-old Suruchi Rattan, were flying to Detroit from New Delhi. They were supposed to be on Flight 67, which had left Frankfurt earlier in the day, but one of the children had fallen ill with breathing difficulties, and the pilot had taken the unusual step of bringing the plane back to the gate to allow the family to disembark. The boy soon recovered, and the family was transferred to PA 103 instead.

Suruchi was wearing a bright red kurta and salwar for her journey — a knee-length tunic and matching pants — and she became forever associated with a note left with flowers outside Lockerbie town hall:

To the little girl in the red dress who lies here who made my flight from Frankfurt such fun.
You didn’t deserve this. God Bless, Chas.

My best bud lived in Barcelona for a couple of years during Bush II and whenever he ran into Ugly Americans he pretended he was from Holland, complete with a silly fake accent that Peter Sellers would’ve admired.

I was in Ireland the year Obama became President. I was in a cab one night. My cab driver was an African immigrant. He wanted to know what I thought of Obama. I was pretty blunt. I voted for the man happily and I really thought that people needed to give him a chance. I never got too much crap from Europeans the first time I was in Europe in 2008. I think most Europeans are pretty cool with Americans even if they are weirded out by our politicians and frustrated by policies. I had a blast being the lone American in my hostel the few days I spent in Lisbon though. That really is my favorite part about traveling is all the different people you meet. I even had a good conversation about how James Joyce would pick fights and have Ernest Hemingway be his body guard with some Austrians.

I am so glad that I don’t have TV (personal choice), and the only radio stations I listen to are NPR and the local collage one. It’s going to be wall to wall ads between now and Super Tuesday.

I have a strong feeling that Trump will come out of it with such a resounding lead that either Cruz or Rubio (whoever does worst overall) is going to be taken aside by the GOP and strongly advised that he should drop out and endorse the other. It will probably be Cruz sitting in 3rd spot, and we know how well he plays with others.

If the Republican party were truly concerned about the Jewish people, they’d have more than just a single member of Congress and not using the Rapture crap.

I think its simpler than that even. His entire campaign can be summed up as “I’m a winner. These other guys are losers. Hey, you might not agree with me all the time, but aren’t you tired of losing?” This plays EXTREMELY well to a primary audience who feels like they’ve been owned by Obama for 8 years. He’s going to need a major change in tactics in the general - it’s just not going to work. I do think he’s savvy enough to recognize that.

The thing about his sales pitch is that the more he wins, the more it reinforces itself. If the GOP had had the balls to go after him early, he couldn’t point to that success. But now its a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The only time that Trump stumbles is when someone is a bigger bully to Trump back. Rubio ALMOST gets it - there were a couple of times there where Rubio managed to get Trump almost flustered. Trump just ran circles around the rest. He managed to make them look both like extremists and like losers at the same time.

Hagee is the worst. He’s pretty much called the Holocaust God’s Will. Yeah buddy, I’m sure the Jewish people love hearing that from an Evangelical Christian like you whose family was NOT effected by the Germans. I’m not Jewish but I’m tired of Evangelicals condescending to Jews through this crap. I’m glad though not surprised that the Jewish people don’t buy it at all.
