What they did for HIV alone should warrant them sainthood. The benefits that the CGI has bestowed upon the world make it one of the world's greatest charitable achievements on par with Mother Teresa and leper colonies.

I'm sure that KellyAnne is a voodoo witch doctor and controls Trump using her voodoo doll. So, she really does know that Trump writes those checks... and then tears them up again! Ha Ha we skip gaily along the perfumed path of life!

But is it as good as Trump's astonishingly high testosterone score? Is it? Ha! I didn't think so! And, by the way, Trump's got a little donation for you, too.

If Donald donated to regular people, they'd be required to file an NDA, and he'd sue the living fuck out of them if they talked to the media. He's just that kind of guy.

A forensic audit? They'd only do that to make sure all the illegal stuff was adequately hidden.

The schadenfreude will be delish if he loses. If the Clinton DOJ and IRS don't investigate, everyone will think the fix is in.

And no one would have ever known about this if he hadn't run for President.

i don't know how it works in the US, but in Canada you cannot claim more than 75% 0f your taxable income and that amount is credited at a lower rate than your tax rate, so you can avoid some taxes, but cannot redirect all your taxes to your preferred charity.Personally, giving a shitload of money to private schools that your kids attend does not smell right to me. We normally call that tuition.

I have to disagree with you. Cruz has one principle - do what's best for Ted Cruz. He's worried that he'll get the blame if Trump loses a close election and he thinks he can spin this as "I endorsed the guy!" If I hadn't witnessed the idiocy of the Trumpian movement, I wouldn't believe this thinking would ever be successful.

I said somewhere else: No matter what the final tally, this election will be far too close a thing.

Use spoiler tags. If your not familiar with HTML tags:Type the angle brackets, <>, before and after the text you're tagging.Put the word "spoiler" (without quotes) between the before angle brackets.Put the word "/spoiler" (again without quotes) between the after angle brackets. This closes the tag.Use the same process for other HTML tags, like "i" and "/i" to italicize, "strike" and "/strike" to strikethrough. There are many others.

Ah, sorry for the "html tags for dummies" tutorial. I've answered this question before for people who have no idea what they are.

Thanks! I didn't know the spoiler and strikethrough ones. One day, I'll figure out the linky thing.
