This new proposed "tax reform" will be far shorter-lived than Republicans imagined Oabamacare would be.

It's possible Trump is simply trying to crater the value of his real estate in Manhattan so he can bankrupt that business the same way he's bankrupted all of the rest.


The article reminds me of a real estate agent in Texas who "specializes" in relocating Californians to Texas. The primary flaw in his business plan is people have to actually leave California and move to Texas.

But I encourage his business. People living in California who self-deport are doing the rest of us a huge service.

In another example of what Trump supporters are calling big government over-reach and political correctness run amuck, 34 year old Cassandra Renae White has been fired as a teacher from Davis High School and faces charges of statutory rape after she filed for a marriage license with one of her 16 year old students.

Oklahoma law dictates that rape charges be filed in cases where a teacher has sex with a student in the same school system who is between 16 and 20 years old, and, "This is just plain wrong," said Trump's campaign manager in Oklahoma, former Senator Ralph Shortey. "Miss White had the written permission of the boy's alcoholic parent."

After running Trump's campaign in Oklahoma, Republican Sen. Shortey himself was caught up in the wave of left-wing political correctness and forced to resign from the Oklahoma Senate after pleading guilty to three felony charges of trafficking a teenaged boy for sex.

Senator Shortey agreed with the comments offered by a New Zealand resident who described children and teenagers as shameless harlots who dress so seductively that normal adults are unable to resist molesting them. "If Donald Trump accomplishes nothing more than legalizing adult sex with children I will be proud to have helped him win in Oklahoma," Shortey said.

The teen’s father, William Mann, is broken. "I'm sick. I'm sick about it. I didn't want it to happen." Mann reluctantly agreed to let his 16-year-old son marry the teacher, 34-year-old Cassandra White. "I weighed out the ups and downs of it and I thought, ‘Who am I?’" Mann said. "So, he asked me to do something. I did it." Besides, Mann says, White is a single mom and he doesn't want her to lose her three children if she's arrested. "Nope. I don't want that. Not at all. Nope. I don't want it. Not at all."

But due to the political correctness of Oklahoma state law Miss White is being prosecuted regardless of Bill Mann's signature on the marriage license.
