Daily Kos?  Lol!  no one cares what that left wing hate click bait site has to say.  A lot of people don't publicize their acts of charity for their own benefit or praise.  That's biblical.  You do realize that Rudy Guillianni said the same in his convention speech, don't you? But you had to go after the African American who said it. 

 A lot of people don't publicize their acts of charity for their own benefit or praise.  That's biblical.  

And a lot of people bear false witness …

… that's biblical too.

Again, burden of proof is on those who make assertions and allegations; I'm a skeptic by nature and by profession … I'd like a list of Trump good deeds and his tax returns.

BTW, when I go after a source, I never open with the whistling past the graveyard "LOL" … that's an immediate tipoff of not having the goods to make one's case.

And after repudiating the witness credibility, I give the facts that correct the false information given from the source I repudiate.

Try it … you'll look convincing.

You didn't call Rudy a liar when he said it on national TV, but when the black guy brain surgeon says it, you call him a liar?  

You didn't call Rudy a liar when he said it on national TV, but when the black guy brain surgeon says it, you call him a liar?  

Once a lie has been essentially debunked by virtue of information to the contrary, the liars, in essence, by running with the lie, incriminate/call out themselves.

Trumps long history of cheating and stiffing clients, contractors and employees, at best, neutralize any so-called "good deeds" nebulously and non-specifically attributed to him.

AL CAPONE opened soup kitchens during the Great Depression while murdering people.

Trump could conceivably WITHOUT OVERTLY COMPROMISING HIS "MODESTY," show his good deeds by way of charitable donations claimed on tax returns.

These oblique, non-specific glorifications only serve to highlight the myopic support that Trump has amassed by appealing to the worst in people who are angry, but who have been willingly the dupes of those who actually created the circumstances that generated their anger.

That same obstructionist House majority effectively blackmailed the president into continuing all the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, so that federal taxes as a share of G.D.P. fell to near-historic historic lows.

And fools predisposed to their bigoted scapegoating fail to grasp, nor, do they want to grasp the basis for much of their pandered-to anger.

• The Federal Reserve , which slashed interest rates after the dot-com bubble burst, making credit cheap.
• Home buyers , who took advantage of easy credit to bid up the prices of homes excessively.
• Congress , which continues to support a mortgage tax deduction that gives consumers a tax incentive to buy more expensive houses.
• Real estate agents , most of whom work for the sellers rather than the buyers and who earned higher commissions from selling more expensive homes.
• The Clinton administration , which pushed for less stringent credit and downpayment requirements for working- and middle-class families.
• Mortgage brokers , who offered less-credit-worthy home buyers subprime, adjustable rate loans with low initial payments, but exploding interest rates.
• Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan , who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages.
• Wall Street firms , who paid too little attention to the quality of the risky loans that they bundled into Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), and issued bonds using those securities as collateral.
• The Bush administration , which failed to provide needed government oversight of the increasingly dicey mortgage-backed securities market.
• An obscure accounting rule  called mark-to-market, which can have the paradoxical result of making assets be worth less on paper than they are in reality during times of panic.
• Collective delusion , or a belief on the part of all parties that home prices would keep rising forever, no matter how high or how fast they had already gone up.

The U.S. economy is enormously complicated. Screwing it up takes a great deal of cooperation. Claiming that a single piece of legislation was responsible for (or could have averted) the crisis is just political grandstanding. We have no advice to offer on how best to solve the financial crisis. But these sorts of partisan caricatures can only make the task more difficult.

You do realize that Rudy Guillianni said the same in his convention speech, don't you? But you had to go after the African American who said it. 

The Jefferson County Commission for an Integrated Society suddenly gets religion by implying that Black Lives actually do matter.

I can dig it, Bro!

Carson was born in Kenya.

All lives matter...

All lives matter...

Agreed!

Donald Trump is uncomfortable with self praise...LMAO, is Carson and anyone else that believes that line is deft, dumb and blind.

This is just too funny.

Almost as funny as Carson and the pyramids as grain silos.

Well then, HIS TAX RETURNS MIGHT HELP VALIDATE THE HEADLINE'S CLAIM.

And let's have Carson list those good deeds on Trump's behalf.

By the way, has anyone seen any of the videos  of Trump?

And who actually believes these posts?

Maybe Trump doesn't heap praise upon himself because he has little to say...

Just a thought.

Lady Dowser - I'm not really sure what in the world Ben Carson is talking about because I have yet to see Donald Trump humble or not want to talk about himself.  I think your explanation is probably more spot on.  

Except that Rudy in his speech at the convention mentioned that Trump stepped in on numerous occasions to help out people in need in his city when he was mayor and that Trump asked him to keep his charity non publicized.  Is Rudy lying about what he said of Trump helping others or are you targeting the African American who said the same thing?  We all know what Rudy said on national TV and that Carson repeated it.  So , what is the point of the article from the LW click bait site?  

'' Is Rudy lying about what he said of Trump helping others or are you targeting the African American who said the same thing?  We all know what Rudy said on national TV and that Carson repeated it.  So , what is the point of the article from the LW click bait site?''

I don't think that Rudy lied, he misspoke. That's what some politicians do, XX.

"Targeting African Americans, LMAO you really are missing the point, XX.

I'm not missing the point.  Rudy talked of times when citizens had problems and Trump stepped in to help out.  This he observed in his role as mayor of NYC.  So , no he didn't misspeak and Carson didn't lie about it.  The racism of the American progressive left toward some African Americans is stunning.  

LOL, you shouldn't be talking about racism XX....It's your fall back position when you have nothing of value to say, which is 99% of the time.

Thanks for showing us once again that logic is a foreign substance to you.

Oh how wrong, wrong, wrong!

This comes from REDSTATE …

Donald Trump Took $150,000 After 9/11 Because He Was A “Small Business” Owner

We've documented how Donald Trump's affinity for the tragedy of 9/11 and the victims of that terrorist attack is closely linked to whatever political benefit he can gain from that association. He didn't attend memorial services for police or fire fighters or for any of the "hundreds of friends" that died that day. He  gave a pittance to 9/11 charities , 100% of that donation went to the Church of Scientology. He lied relentlessly about watching "thousands" celebrated in Jersey City or watching people jump to their death from the windows of his residence. Not only has he traded on their deaths, he has had a  personal financial benefit from 9/11 .

You need to wake up to the realities rather than believe the crap.

None of that has anything at all to do with what Ben and Rudy said.  I'm defending them not Trump.

None of that has anything at all to do with what Ben and Rudy said.  I'm defending them not Trump.

And they're defending Trump … you have a way of evading and it's annoying.

You imply and they say Trump's a doer of good deeds; I've provided specifics regarding his bad deeds and neither Carson, nor Giuliani nor you have definitively named one of his good deeds.

Don't play word games with me.

Don't even tell me what to do.  Who do you think you are?   I don't care whether you are frustrated or not.  I'll defend what Rudy and Ben said because I believe they have accounts of such.  Rudy said that trump asked that no publicity come his way for the people he helped.  I will defend all out to the max Ben and by extension Rudy since Ben paraphrased what Rudy said at the convention whether you like it or not, maybe more so since you don't.  I don't have to like Donald  to defend Ben and Rudy.

Dishonesty in the face of truth frustrates anyone trying to have honest dialogue.

I give you verified specifics that you spurn while accepting unverified contentions.

Do the right thing … acknowledge reality.

That you point out things trump did that weren't right has nothing to do with the stuff Rudy and Ben said he did.  You act like because he did A that there's no way he could have done B as well. Typical progressive " thinking".

That you FAIL TO POINT OUT THINGS THAT SUBSTANTIATE WHAT HE HAS ALLEGEDLY DONE has everything to do with questioning their objectivity or honesty or both.

I specifically gave you an example of "A" while neither you, Ben or Rudy provided any example of "B".

And taking a shot at progressive thinking is the equivalent in this case, OF TAKING A SHOT OF THINKING ITSELF.

Until there's a verifiable "B" -- Trump's a A (fighting the temptation to hyphenate that).

  This ones for you AMAC!

  This ones for you AMAC!

Great defense of a position.

And they say you can't debate.

'Course what they say is on target.

Animated THIMBS DOWN … a new level for you.

True - but it is progress because it was animated and NOT the actual "click" of the you know what.  ( I'm not allowed to talk about the you know what because I make too much of a fuss about it). 

Oopsie - I spoke too soon.  NEVERMIND....... hehehehe

Yeah! It's the lazy man's copy and paste at the cartoon-lover's level.

It's a great tool to use for you and PJ.  

Trump's income tax returns will show how much he has given to charity, should we ever get to see them.

Really?

“At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments and other government filings reviewed by the USA Today Network, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work,” the newspaper wrote Friday. “Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast. Real estate brokers who sold his properties. And, ironically, several law firms that once represented him in these suits and others.”

That summation is the tip of a later iceberg, and one that should make Trump’s white, working-class followers shudder—because he has a habit of stiffing blue-collar laborers.

“In addition to the lawsuits, the review found more than 200 mechanic’s liens—filed by contractors and employees against Trump, his companies or his properties claiming they were owed money for their work—since the 1980s,” USA Today wrote. “The liens range from a $75,000 claim by a Plainview, N.Y., air conditioning and heating company to a $1 million claim from the president of a New York City real estate banking firm. On just one project, Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, records released by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in 1990 show that at least 253 subcontractors weren’t paid in full or on time, including workers who installed walls, chandeliers and plumbing.”

Need more … got more.

I'm confused - it's not even close to April 1st.

Hal!  Where have you been?  Anyhow, I just wanted to see how your new job is going and whether you're liking it.  

I'm currently out of town struggling with horrible cell service. My oldest daughter is getting married tomorrow.  Been too busy at the new job to participate much.  There are good things and not so good things about the new job, but overall it's leaning towards the positive.  Thanks for asking.

Wishing you the best.

I'm so glad that the new job is working out!  Much love to you and yours, Hal!

Good luck at the wedding, too.  When the preacher asked my dad, who was giving me away, Who giveth this woman?  Daddy said, "Central Bank and I do".  My mother was annoyed, but it was funny!

Who giveth this woman?  Daddy said, "Central Bank and I do".

I LOVE it!  That is hysterical.  :0)

Daddy was a hoot!  He always had something funny going on...

Congratulations! Remember as the father of the bride you have to pay for everything but the booze. The father of the groom pays for that.

Carson wants to be named Supreme Leader , Office Of Our National Religion,  under a Trump administration.

Trump will create a position of Secretary of Religion in the official government cabinet. Carson wants the job.

Trump will create a position of Secretary of Religion in the official government cabinet. Carson wants the job.

He is ineligible by virtue of his birthplace … 

LaLa Land … near Kenya.

And his parents were white Hawaiian exiled ex-patriots.

Shall I go on?

Obviously NOT a real American citizen then! Thanks for pointing that out to me. How about Kenneth Copeland? He as full of shit as Carson is any day.

Carson believes in a degree of separation of church and state.
