Out of all of Trump’s crazy as shit tweets, this one takes the cake.
Here’s the President of the United States tweeting that he should’ve LEFT THOSE PLAYERS IN JAIL because one of their bonehead dad’s were talking smack. Imagine coming home from school and seeing the President tweeting this about you, because your alcoholic father made a negative remark about the President.
Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!

I think he has bigger issues but he is right .They should have
done their college time in China
This was a cakewalk in the chess dimensions game.
Inappropriate to detail names in ANY kind of statement.
This does not bode well.
Battle of the 2 biggest morons on the planet.
Lavar played this chump lol
Btc eclipsed $8,000, but trump.
Honestly, nothing should surprise anybody here other than these two didn’t cross paths sooner. Trump and Lavar Ball are the two premier shit talkers walking the earth today. With that I say, it’s about time! ?
F that ungrateful ass clown. Good on Trump.
Speaking to the comments section: He’s the President of the United States and just can’t help but lower himself to a middle schooler. SAD…
Let me remind you that the whole freaking country has lowered itself to level.
We are Rome.
He hasn’t even elevated himself to a middle schooler yet. My 7-year old is more aware of how he comes across to others than the orange man.
By the time they hit middle school, most kids are capable of inhibiting behavior that makes them look like orangutans. Trump isn’t there yet.
Look at how distracted we are by his antics. While:
– He doubled down on a the war in Afghanistan that he had committed to end;
– He folded to Netanyahu on Iran nuke agreement;
– He folded to the Likud lobby by withdrawing from UNESCO;
– He has proposed a 100% tax break for his spawn by proposing elimination of the inheritance tax;
– He folded to the Likud lobby by acquiescing to moves that make it illegal for a US citizen to exercise free speech in regards to Israel;
– He apparently green-lighted Saudi moves against Yemen and Qatar through his idiot son in law Kushner;
– He is increasing the inflation tax by increasing spending while calling his wealth concentration plan a “tax cut”;
– Military ops run amok through north Africa, etc. etc……

After someone works their ass off and is taxed on that income, why do you faggots think it’s ok to take the remainder with an inheritance tax? People work and take risks so they can provide a better life for their kids. Try it sometime you fucking ape
“…and is taxed on that income”
Obviously you don’t know how either the current, or the proposed, tax works. That’s OK, most ignorant loudmouths don’t.
Anyway, why is it preferable that Donald Trump Jr’s money-from-no-effort to be taxed at 0% while some guy sweating to make $50K/yr is paying the country’s bills? Rhetorical question.
My father put himself through medical school and started a very successful private practice. His father laid concrete for a living and him and his brothers were so poor they had to pick who got to wear shoes. When he passed 50% of his income was paid to Uncle Sam simply because he died. How is that fair?
Your Dad sounds like a fine fellow. But the question is: Why do you deserve tax-free income while someone like your dad, or his dad, pays the fucking bills???????????????????
Because he was his SON who he wanted to pass all what risk and hard work he had taken to. So as to better his progeny who he also busted his ass inculcating society bettering morals to.
Because his dad already paid the bills.
What you are suggesting is no different than saying just because you already paid taxes, why can’t the government just decide to double dip and tax it again, at an even higher rate than the first time, because, well, they just want the money.
ferd, fuck off and stop confusing everybody here with facts!
I can’t
I can’t wait for 2020 to vote for Hillary.
Man it would be so great if she ran again. I’d love to see her humiliated again., this time against Ivanka or Trump Jr.
I predict the November 2020 ballot will not have the names Clinton or Trump.
I agree with Ferd on most of what he said.

Yea but the stock market so
Ferd – because he was already taxed on that income. And property rights are a key pillar of our economic and political system. He earned that property and paid taxes on it. The ownership at that point is his to do with as he pleases. I deserve it because he decided that it should go to me. That’s how a free and fair society works. If you want to rail against the other aspects of the tax bill I am all ears as the bill in its current form has a lot of flaws and I’m not sold on it. But the estate tax is outright theft and should be discarded.
Inter-generational wealth is inter-generational power …i.e., royalty. Is anti-American IMO and poisonous. Oh save us from more idiot Bushes.
Theft of legally obtained goods has no basis in our country. We will have to agree to disagree.
If I decide to give $10,000 to 1,000 friends before I die, no taxes paid. If I then die and those 1,000 friends decide to give that money the following year to my sons and daughters, no taxes paid. Estate planning from high end attorneys essentially find ways to accomplish much the same thing.
Why is it OK for that all to happen, but I can’t just give the money I earned and paid taxes on to my sons and daughters? Why can I and my spouse each give them a $10,000 gift every year while I am still alive, but once I die it is confiscated?
I think the real reason is that since I’m dead, I can’t sue for unreasonable seizure of my property. The Bill of Rights apparently expires along with me. The government has no issue stealing from dead people’s pockets, their families be damned, even if it means they need to liquidate their family business, even if their son is disabled and needs the money to survive.
Why exactly is that other guy making $50K entitled to that money paying his taxes instead of him paying just like the guy who died did? Are we all just looking to profit off the dead as soon as their bodies go cold? Certainly it seems the government so far says yes.
How would you feel if you went out of your way to help some criminal idiots get out of rape-you-in-the-ass foreign jail and then their parents said fuck off.
Trump continues to connect with how real American people feel and what they would say and do. If you have your establishment politics PC goggles on then of course you think it’s beneath the office of the presidency. If you don’t, you think yeah, he’s right, those thankless bastards, I’d feel the same way in his shoes.
I have to agree. Of all the dumshit tweets he has done this one I can actually sympathize with.
He was doing the job he was paid and elected to do. Now the baboon wants his ass kissed too? What a useless tit.
Since when is the job of the POTUS to persuade another country to let someone who broke that country’s law suffer no penalty for doing so?? He was under no obligation to do so and in fact could have recommended the Chinese lock them up to set an example that we as Americans do not tolerate high profile individuals going over seas and breaking other nation’s laws.
Jf’inC how fucking stupid are some of the people who read this site?
For those of you that don’t understand how the inheritance tax loophole works (s.k., I’m talking to you):
Mr. Moneybags has $100M in after-tax cash. He buys stock in Company A. The stock grows to $150M byt time he dies. He has others assets so never sold any. Lets’ get rid of the Inheritance tax, shall we? Awesome! So now his son gets $150M tax free. Lets’ say the son sells the stock for $160M. So now he pays tax on the $60M in capital gains, right? Nope! The son’s cost basis is the inherited value ($150M), so he only pays capital gains on the $10M, with $50M tax free. THAT is the reason we have an Estate Tax (on assets over $5M).
What’s ironic, is that when it is pointed out to Gary Cohn that 99% of farms and businesses aren’t affected by the inheritance tax and that it mainly involves wealthy investors such as himself, his best defense is that ***wealthy people like himself don’t pay the estate tax***::
“Well, I think people have managed to keep themselves below the estate tax. This is the whole issue. Many people are smart enough to know how to manage themselves out of the estate tax. ”
That begs the question, why don’t Republicans go after THOSE loopholes if they really favor the Middle Class and a Fair Playing Field, especailly if they are so desparately looking for offsets for the Corporate Tax Cuts they are proposing. Also, the Carried Interest tax loophole is still alive in both bill. So much for the fake indignation of Sen. Orin Hatch.
I fully understand how it works. What you don’t understand is that mom and pop with a little bit of money get caught up in it as well as uninvested assets are subject as well. Typical liberal bullshit response. Pick out the 1% and use that as a basis to fuck everyone else.
If you understood the estate tax you would know cash is subject as well. Using an example of 150 mill invested to justify 5 mill as savings is the most outright bullshit thing I have read in a while. If you want to rewrite the tax code so that unrealized gains are taxed that’s one thing but fuck off with justify forced asset forfeiture upon death you stupid liberal cunt.
“mom and pop with a little bit of money” Nice try – just as bad as Cohn’s “small farms and businesses.” You uare just going with conservative’s favorite appeal – emotion – instread of the facts: less that 1% of estates actually pay any Estate Tax.
No need to get triggered over this, snowflake.
If you had understood what basis is used, you wouldn’t have been using the standard “double tax” line in your arguments.
Anyway, for me that’s merely an additional unjust little bennie to people like you who are planning for their silver spoon. I think all inheritance above say, the country’s median home price, should be taxed as regular income.
In Canada there no inheritance tax beyond the probate fee.
However, if a person buys stock for 100M and when he dies it is worth 150M, the estate pays capital gains tax on the 50M.
Also there is no tax ever on capital gains of your principle residence when it is sold or if the owner dies. The flip side to that is, mortgage interest is not tax deductible. So you pay off your house with after tax dollars, but you get to keep all of what your house sells for.
In the UK you pay inheritance tax after a 325,000 pound deduction, or 650,000 for a couple. The tax is 40%. A relative passed last year in the UK and it was incredibly annoying having to pay away all that money which rightfully belonged to the family.
A comment before I read the thread…
Provided President Trump does not lead us into nuclear war, I think we will be alright
I think 2024 election will be decided by millenials, and their choice is likely to be markedly different from today’s environment.
The kids are alright…
