I wish I was doing stand-up right now. No need to dig too deep to write anything; he's providing all the material!

After 2 debates - one with a bad mic, and one with another 'Mike' that definitely wasn't working for him - he *finally* gets a microphone that picks up every little word, and it bites him in the ass in a HUGE way. Way to go, Donnie!

He seems to have a major problem with small candies...first it was the Skittles scandal, now it's Tic-Tacs creating a tick-tock, counting down to the end of his campaign and the entire GOP. Maybe he can also go and take some pretzel-eating lessons from Dubya.

I bet the SNL writers are putting in some major overtime, creating some major revisions on this week's script!

He has made open racism, open lewdness, and flat out lying a part of our system. And the fact that almost half the electorate have not only embraced him but have openly emulated his lead will make it that much more difficult to eradicate.

watch now...the greatest folly of all time.., any sitting president...here it is..Some of us lived through this one, and the rest of the scandal. Yes, it was just as bad, but he was something, totally different from Trump, but just as arrogant, and just as much a liar. A number of his staff that worked in the White House, actually went to jail..43 years ago this November..this was said...and He resigned on Aug 8, 1974..

30. Hmmm, that Nixon speech was about his taxes and he ended up releasing his tax forms

The issue he was talking about - taking a write off for his presidential papers and back dating the donation to be eligible for the deduction - was WHY presidential candidates have released their tax forms since then!

Nixon's Failed Effort to Withhold His Tax Returns
Aug 2, 2016 3:04 PM EDT
By Stephen Mihm

<SNIP>

How unusual? The Washington Post determined that he had deeded his vice-presidential papers to the National Archives and taken a charitable deduction of around $500,000. Amazingly, such practices had been legal until 1969: Presidents and vice presidents donated their public papers and took a write-off. But that year, Congress closed the loophole.

Nonetheless, Nixon was eager to take every deduction imaginable. In a memo written that year, the presidential aide John Ehrlichman wrote his deputy, Edward Morgan, telling him that Nixon believed “a public man does very little of a personal nature. Virtually all of his entertainment and activity is related to his ‘business.’” That meant that virtually any expense -- “wedding gifts to congressmen’s daughters, flowers at funerals, etc.” -- could be written off.

This attitude apparently carried over to charitable contributions, too. In 1970, Nixon proceeded to donate his papers, but ordered Morgan to backdate the deed of gift to March 27, 1969, before the law made it illegal for him to take the deduction.

But this wasn’t known at the time. In 1973, however, as the Watergate scandal put a spotlight on the secretive president, tax experts called for the IRS to audit Nixon. The agency refused. Then in early October, an employee at an IRS service center in West Virginia leaked information about Nixon’s tax returns showing that the president had only paid $792.81 in federal income taxes in 1970 and $878.03 in 1971, but reported income in excess of $200,000. The explanation, of course, was the fishy charitable donation.
