that Melania Trump was once an escort are completely false.  She sued the Daily Mail, who wrote the story back during the campaign, for $150,000,000.  The case was recently settled by the Daily Mail ADMITTING they made the story up, a public apology to Mrs. Trump, and a few million dollars (exact amount not disclosed).  I'm not being political.  My response would be the same if you said Hillary Clinton went from hoe to first lady.  I'm just being factual.  Your post doesn't necessarily make you look stupid, just uninformed.  

At the store,to have a car, rent a room,owning your home,land...everywhere you turn ...you pay taxes. JS. Don't be confused what being an actual productive member of society actually is.

If you are a regular, the primary reason to pay some taxes is to avoid having an income rate inferred based entirely on the imagination of the IRS -- which they can and will do.

We're all getting screwed, but I think Mia's post was more about next steps and making sure the IRS does not take down Al Capone on a tax rap.

kept the post about that and refrained from adding the false information.  Correcting facts is not the same as not getting along.  When I get something wrong here, someone always call me on it, and I get corrected.  I like Mia, she's a local girl for me.  I just don't want her to be misinformed, or people will think she's ignorant about current events.  I want her to come off as brilliant.  That's all.

In the context it was written, AND considering it was written by someone who is an escort, I am pretty sure it was written with tongue firmly in cheek. Somehow I doubt Mia is going to use "escort" as a slam any more than you or I would slam someone for being a "trick"

There's nothing more American than tax evasion, save for perhaps corn whisky.

Please say that wasn't you.  Did you call yourself "Chica Banana?"

Everytime I irritatingly drive over a pot hole I think to myself "DAMN!! This happened because most hookers don't pay taxes!!"

>>>“Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.”

At the time when Justice Holmes wrote that statement, the average tax rate was 3.5%

I just said she had her facts wrong.  I think you would agree with me on that.  I don't know about tongue in cheek, since she called Melania Melanie.  

but unless she says otherwise, I think she was making a joke.

Chica Banana, too?  Not a very convincing TS I hear.  What's the opposite of "passable?"

Why would you discourage someone from helping out? I write a large check every April and my hand shakes.  Someone wants to take income from 'below the line' and pay taxes on it?  I encourage that!  

Love her or hate her, she's a straight shooter and I personally admire that.  

for a couple of million at a Mexican truck stop. But you'd need a few body guards I'm betting...

Chanting “who’s yer daddy” doesn’t qualify us as a claimed dependent.

Perhaps, but CDL dealt with that (in the most CDL-y way he knows how). Ignorance is just that, not knowing, it's not like she's literally hitler or something.

...published an article about Melania the hooker "which questioned the nature of her work as a professional model, and republished allegations that she provided services beyond simply modeling."  The Daily Mail did not make the story up out of whole cloth.  There was some smoke there, but the paper started a fire without enough kindling.

being a "hooker" or I assume what you meant was a "john" is not something I think anyone should be ashamed of.

I was referencing the Bansky artwork.  
You don't literally have to be shooting heroin in order to be a junkie. It's a commentary on 21st century society and the tendency for many of us to sell ourselves (prostitute) in order to get what we want, but what we want isn't necessarily great for us (junkies). Just food for thought though.

... CDL missed the point and went on the attack. Sad.

16% of Federal spending is for the military.  Another 4% is for veterans benefits.     So 80% of federal spending is for something else.  

I JUST finished- it took me DAYS to sort through my receipts. I also get paid in checks for my side modeling gig and a few other legit things I do. Next time, I am so doing quarterly.

I've missed your posts here!

Yeah, He's not everyone's cup of tea. That's kinda the point though; he's going to be abrasive to people and he's going to capitalize on that by doubling down. This doesn't work if you don't play the game however.

And correct in part. Thank you.  The news story I read when the settlement happened said somebody admitted it.  Maybe the reporter. Defendants usually don't pay seven figure settlements unless there is fire to go with the smoke.  One of the elements of slander is that they knew it was false when they said it. If they didn't think that was provable, the settlement would be much smaller. Just my analysis. Others may disagree.

Everyone has a price. Lol

It's not just what happens if you become famous to the public, it's what happens if you want to do ANYTHING with cash totaling more than a few thousand dollars (obligatorily, $10,000, but sometimes less will trigger an investigation).  

It's OPG as in Oh! Please! god as I fuck you.

Of you guys can read her mind and know what she meant. I can only conclude based on what she says in the context of her many posts she has made in my local LA board. Based in her past political statements, I don't think I missed the point at all. I think I got it right. My "attack" was only to correct the misinformation she was trying to sell in her off-handed remark.

self-loathing both curious and amusing at the same time.  Why do you hate Caucasian men  that find Asian women, black women or latina women attractive.  Are you racist and think that each ethnicity should date only their "own kind."  I am fascinated by what your mental issues might be.  Haven't figured it out yet, but working on it.

something stupid like this without doing your homework.  FYI, there are plenty of my posts here that say my preferred age range for Asian providers is 35-40.  I'm 58, so how do you get grandpa out of that.  You do realize that there is a bigger age gap between Donald and Melania Trump, and they seem suited for each other?  Likewise, there are hundreds of posts here from providers of ALL ethnicities that say they PREFER older gentlemen as clients, mostly because they know how to treat a woman and have superior love-making skills form their vast experience with women.  

Than pay your 30% to the government like the rest of us do...

Do you know how many people become grandparents by their early 50s? I know many that started with kids in their early 20s and their kids mated early and began. My bff was a grandpa by 45. Now I agree 58 is still young but you could be a grandpa easily. Don't take it personally tell they call you a great grandpa. Then, game on.)  
.

LA board that I'm one of your biggest fans, and I have NEVER thought you were stupid, but in this case, I knew you were wrong about your facts.  If you intended it as a joke, then it was in poor taste if you already knew that what you were saying was false.  There are a lot of people here that AREN'T as smart as you, and they may have made fools of themselves tomorrow by repeating it to others.  You don't want that  burden on your beautiful shoulders.  

that any local law enforcement agency can just seize it claiming that they think the cash is related to some crime like drug trafficking, and it's up to you to prove it is not, which can take forever and bankrupt you in the process.  These law enforcement agencies can then keep the money for their own purposes like buying new weapons or donuts, or even giving themselves big raises.   It's like they become the crooks.

Who said I don't?? Stop being salty and assuming. Sorry you ended up having to pay a ton apparently

I AM a grandpa to a few small children. I have no problem with that. He said I like Asian hookers that cold be my grandkids.  That's bullshit. The math doesn't work. That's why it was stupid. I'm not taking it personally because it's stupid.

I we take away (or try to do so) Mia's right to joke about the current first lady, it gives the left good cause to "correct" us when someone like me makes a "joke" about our racist former first lady or any "jokes" about her fat ass.

If only you weren't in NYC this Saturday...

the word "white" no one would have known you're racist.  So an Asian grandpa is okay seeing young Asian girls, but no white guys, right?  You're a real piece of work.  

Virtually any Slovenian would be offended to be called Russian.  

Hey Roundeye, stay away from my grandkids. Or at least my "hot" grandkids.

wanted cash.  No big deal, so I went to my local bank and asked them if they had that much cash on hand. They said they did not and it would take a day to get it. (small town bank).  They then told me that they would not give me the money unless the local police followed me home.  This really set off some alarm bells in my head.  I have a feeling  the police would have tried to somehow get involved.  

and they too had someone follow me out. Of course I was VERY VERY drunk at the time and most definitely appreciated the escort. lol

It's very rare for me to write checks or use my card.  Every week on payday, I take out the same amount of cash, so if my bank or a government agency is watching, they just see "business as usual."  My hobbying money is set aside in small increments weekly.

I guess the fact that I am not trying to hide anything is one reason my/your actions are not met with suspicion.

He is the one who spelled that way, I could only assume that's who he meant.

Iceberg/Goldberg?

Saying it's only "creepy" if you're a white guy. Is that what you got too?

and just remember, it wasn't the Chinks who bombed Pearl Harbor, it was the Germans. lol

You know, in re-reading that, I can definitely see why you were assuming that I was calling you a creepy asian schoolgirl loving grandpa. That's not my intention but I did a piss poor job or articulating that.

You know, I've very nearly gotten in a bar fight for confusing a brit with an aussie, which to be fair, they may as well have been brothers.  
I'm not so sure on the Slovenian's to be however, but specifically Mrs. Trump doesn't seem the type to immediately resort to violence, and I imagine most of Slovenia could be characterized this way.

How many? likely not all of them, but certainly not none.
