1. You mean I've could've been fact checking pro-Trump BS for money? (insert expletive of choice)
2. You said this:
I reckon this is just wrong and disgusting, right here you have unadulterated proof that she is paying people to spread propaganda on her behalf and not only is it accepted its perfectly fricken legal!!!
Now wait a second. In regards to Trump possibly not paying taxes for 20 years, haven't his supporters been saying that it's ok as long as it's legal? So I'll return those words to you. Yes, it seems shady at first glance. But it's also perfectly legal. In fact, it's no different than hiring a viral marketing firm/contractor to promote a product at the grassroots level. So why the double standard?

Trump was previously a Business man, not an elected official.
He exploited a loophole for personal gain and not to manipulate the American public.
Yeah, this is just politics as usual. Major politicians hire armies of campaign people of all types

Are you surprised that a political candidate (or more accurately, a political campaign/lobbying group I guess) employs people to sway public opinion?

Don't you know? It's only scummy when Clinton does it.

LOL Yeah, it's just... let's just say I can't wait for this election cycle to be over. It's definitely been both entertaining & groundbreaking in how it's abandoned conventional wisdom. But I'm ready for the more rational debates about politics to return.

Why call it a loophole? A loophole implies something that isn't explicit. It implies cleverness. Deferring real estate investment loses is neither.
Are you aware that through another "loophole" (also known as bankruptcy) he left a large number of people with no means of recouping his debt to them. Debts which he may have accrued as part of that loss.
Also if Im not mistaken those years he didnt pay taxes it was due to him taking loses on various ventures and yet through he was able to save those businesses and also the people employed in them.
