Where TSF has a tower that he claimed a 651 million dollar tax write off, formed a holding company and double dipped on the deduction.
We learned about this many months ago and as usual with TSF no one did a fucking thing. Tax experts estimate that those bogus deductions cost our government at least 100 million dollars, or more.
What would happen if Kamala or Tim claimed fraudulent tax write offs?
Too late now, any action would be deemed partisan, unless it is about a Democrat.
What would the IRS do to me if I claim a 651 million dollar loss on my next tax return?
Think. Again.

(32,146 posts)at Trump tower Chicago which will amount to more grifting for him off this tower. How convenient for him to hold campaign meetings at his properties.
The fucker is a carnival barker who can get people to pay to see the bearded lady, more than once.

(313 posts)And it's sickening.
My wife, son, and I participated in an anti-Trump rally on President's Day in Chicago in 2017 when the orange one had been in office about a month. "Not my president" was a popular sign that day, along with "Hands off my body" and countless others. Anyone paying any attention at all has known exactly who Trump is all along. Those people in Chicago that day knew, as did those in similar protests around the country. And yet here we are again . . .
CBS "Sunday Morning" interviewed the son of former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the guy who let the Chicago Police beat the hell out of anti-war protesters at the Democratic National Convention in 1968. If you're too young to know about it, or if you've managed to forget, review the video. It was an international disgrace. But then the Daley family is one of the most corrupt Democrat families in the country. And the interview showed it. What a complete dolt.
Anyway, I hope Chicago can redeem itself this time, and I hope I never see another Chicago Daley anywhere near a DNC.

(4,718 posts)Seemingly normal man who got too creative. Broke the law and paid the price. Family, homes and boat in the toilet. I wonder if he is still a Republican! Yet TSF is still a presidential candidate. Disgusting!
