Trump seems to admit there is damaging info in his tax returns.

TRUMP: No debts. I have very little debt to anybody. I don't need debt. You know, it's very interesting, I'm so liquid, I don't need debt. And if I need debt, if I want debt, I can get it from banks in New York City very easily.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You know where I'm going to take this next. Americans could be assured on that if they saw your tax returns.

TRUMP: My tax returns are very simple. They're under a minor audit, a routine audit, as they have been for many years. Every year I get audited.

Now, I don't know if you get audited but I have friends...

STEPHANOPOULOS: I've been audited.

TRUMP: -- who are very wealthy that never have been audited. I say -- you get audited. I get audited every year. I'm under a routine audited like routine. And I've been for years, every year.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Is there something...

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: George, it is very simple. Yes, but they're all linked. It's called the link.

It's very simple, if my audit is finished, that's great.

Now, I have to tell you. I watched Mitt Romney four years ago. He waited until September to give them, just before the election. They made him look so bad, it was so unfair, I actually think he didn't lose because of the 47 percent, I think he lost because of a couple of really minor items in tax return where he did nothing wrong. So it is unfair.

But I will say, when I'm finished with the audit, I'll do it.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Richard Nixon released his even though his were under audit.

TRUMP: I don't use Richard Nixon as necessarily the guide, OK. I mean, you know, it's an interesting person to use, but don't use it.

How long is he going to get away with this audit nonsense?

Is anyone else tired of hearing people on Facebook constantly complaining about they can't make up

their minds about voting for Hillary or not?

They are just in such agony over their precious perfect snowflake vote, and how it would be tainted by a vote for Hillary.

No amount of logic seems to sway them.

I am lucky enough to know several people like this, or see them in other comment threads.

Arrggh!

Is anyone else worried about Trump's sanity?

I seriously am at this point. This is not hyperbole.

What he's doing is not normal.

I wonder if he's in the early stages of a nervous breakdown.

Fuck his enablers. Fuck Mike Pence. Trump is not fit for public office.

Paul Dean – Uncovering U.S. Military UFO Secrets

http://www.openminds.tv/paul-dean-uncovering-u-s-military-ufo-secrets/37553

Open Minds UFO Radio: Paul Dean is an Australian who has been uncovering U.S. military secrets via the Freedom of Information Act. Although the U.S. government claims they have not been investigating UFOs since the close of the U.S. Air Force’s official UFO study, Project Blue Book, government records show otherwise. What has been difficult to track is who is collecting these reports and where are they going?

Even during the Project Blue Book years, the USAF claimed the reports demonstrating a threat to national security where going elsewhere. In Australia, along with a colleague in the U.K., Dean has been following the thread to find out where the files are going and what organizations are receiving these files.

this was a really interesting discussion. Dean seems to be doing great research, and really proving the military is hiding UFO evidence.

Fuck Julian Assange

I've had fairly iffy feelings about him and I hate the way Democracy Now caters to him, but this is ridiculous:

"Julian Assange: Choosing Between Trump or Clinton is Like Picking Between Cholera or Gonorrhea"

did the RNC vet Trump at all?

Obviously in general they are incompetent and horrible, but I'm just wondering if they did basic things like make sure he had paid his taxes, wasn't in legal trouble or have weird alliances with foreign leaders?

By all indications, they did none of that.

Sam Harris articulates why Donald Trump is a dangerous candidate

A calmly delivered devastating argument, and he contrasts Trump with Hillary.

I have to vent... I'm really upset with political discussions on FB

First, my cousin posted a picture of one of her kids in the red "Make America Great again" Trump hat, and apparently she is a Trump supporter. And her friends are too, and they are so unbelievably clueless about Trump-- they are in their own world. And of course they hate Hillary, call her amoral and evil. So disturbing.

Second, I am so sick of a large number of people-- supposedly liberal Bernie supporters-- who are unbelievably fucking obsessed over Hillary's email scandal and they are constantly posting right-wing memes and toxic anti-Hillary stuff. There is no reasoning with them on this. But they CANNOT seem to get over this or get any perspective on this issue. They don't even seem to care about the possibility of Trump winning even though they say he is bad.

It's all maddening. I can't stop worrying about this stuff.

Thanks for reading.

MI6 Iraq nerve gas report 'stolen from action film The Rock'

Source: The Telegraph

"Valuable intelligence” found by MI6 about Saddam Hussein’s alleged nerve gas arsenal may have in fact been stolen from a Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage action film, the Chilcot Inquiry has disclosed.

Intelligence officers circulated a report of deadly nerve toxins being held in glass spheres, until it was noticed it bore a marked similarity to scenes in the 1996 thriller The Rock."

This sounds like the sort of hackery the Bush administration did so well...
