    No, it is better. He is quoting the Federalist who quoted a R representative from Texas. Unimpeachable sources I'm sure. I bet that rep even passed high school after daddy greased enough palms.

    Crap, I thought of this 5-7 years ago, talked about it while drinking many times. And yes, specifically involving Apple hardware. Slot in the car dash to insert the phone/pad. They added ApplePlay which does some of the same. But other idea was latptop shell that could give extra battery and maybe processing power. But even then it was so obvious I didn't pursue. I'm sure they will get a slam dunk approval even though it was so obvious.

    Really? We don't know who he has debt to - and probably a lot more than any president every. Because he doesn't release financial statements. There may be thick ropes controlling this puppet.

    It's brilliant. That is why Mexico will build the wall. To keep our political collateral damage out. And all our crazies.

    And you know about the $600k because you can read Hillary's taxes? Aside from that, $600k results in a potential reduction in their taxes. The foundation pays it back out as salary to the Clintons or anyone else - and it is taxed! The accountants make a bit more money, but the government always gets theirs.

    Trump's carryover loss of $1 billion is a stupid political issue - it is perfectly valid and normal business. But why did he lose $1 billion during a great market? What weird deductions / claims has he made that violate legal or ethical boundaries? Does he really donate anything to charity? Who are his business partners / puppet string holder - he owes banks or other investors a lot of money. Any of that foreign? Russia? China? What did he pledge to guarantee those loans? Is he really worth anything close to what he claims (doubtful)? Is his hair real (ok, tax statement won't answer that).

    We can answer most of these questions about Hillary - because surprise she released her statements. Trump? Trust him, he's not a loser, he has great people. The best people. He will release those taxes as soon as he's out of audit, which will take much more time than the election. And btw, since he has promised to release, will he release them win or lose so we can mock him based on the additional evidence?

    There can be no secrets? We know more about Hillary than we'll ever know about Trump. How about we start with those tax returns?

    Yes, I was more referring to customer service in general, which is what many of these internet sites get dinged on. It is no better at Best Buy. Try to sell the accessories, but give up when the customer sales no.

    If you don't think Best Buy has tactics like this, think again. Went last week with my mother-in-law to help her purchase a 42" DLP television. Salesperson told her there was no way she could get the screen quality they had without monster cables and a $150 power filter, and of course she needs their $400 warranty.

    Give me a break, I already told him the input would be coax directly to cable card in the TV. You don't need all these cables and certainly wall power is good enough. I told him to lay off the techniques, this is a digital TV and it seems like monitors and other digital items work great off wall power. He said whatever, its your signal. We left. Bought the TV from one of the shady internet places for $500 less, no tax. Some sales pressure, but I'm glad I bought the TV before I read this story or I would have just used Cruthfield and paid a couple hundred more.
