News Billionaire Warren Buffett Endorses Hillary Clinton - Challenges Trump to Release His Taxes

[Bladewire]

OMAHA, Neb. ? Warren Buffett eviscerated Donald Trump before introducing Hillary Clinton at a rally here Monday afternoon, challenging him to release his tax returns and invoking McCarthyism over the Republican nominee's feud with the Khan family.

"How in the world can you stand up to a couple of parents who've lost a son and talked about sacrificing because you were building a bunch of buildings?" Buffett said before channeling Joseph Welch's question during the 1954 McCarthy hearings.

"I ask Donald Trump: have you no sense of decency, sir?"

The billionaire businessman also had an offer for Trump: meet anywhere, any time to show him his tax returns, which Trump has said he won't release because he's under audit.

"I will meet him in Omaha or Mar-a-Lago or, he can pick the place, anytime between now and election. I'll bring my return, he'll bring his return," Buffett said to wild applause. "We're both under audit. And believe me, nobody's going to stop us from talking about what's on those returns.

He is the third business leader to speak in support of Clinton in less than a week. Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg endorsed her during an address at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and famed investor Mark Cuban introduced her at a rally in Pittsburgh over the weekend.

Clinton decided to campaign in Nebraska specifically because the Cornhusker State awards electoral votes by congressional district, which could change the outcome in her favor. Buffett himself promised to take "at least ten people" who would otherwise have trouble to the polls on November 8.

The Democratic nominee, fresh off a three-day bus tour through the Rust Belt, recapped her trip for the crowd of 3,000 and slammed Trump for saying that America is "weak." She said that the people she and her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, met throughout the nine-stop, 600-mile excursion "proved every day that Donald Trump is wrong."

Clinton promised that, if elected, she will return to Omaha to "dance in the streets" with Buffett. And, "if we're lucky," he might even "wear his Elvis costume again!"

Cnn copy/paste inspired post... again.

I remember an article about Buffet years ago on how he paid less in taxes than his secretary. Our tax system is ridiculous, and Buffet takes full advantage of it. There is nothing wrong with this - unless you are running for president.

Trump is going to hit a brick wall. The call to release his tax forms will get louder and louder. He cannot release his taxes because it will look horrible on paper. We'll see exactly how he is not paying taxes.

And let's face it, in the event he does release his taxes the Democrats will mountains out of molehills. The vast majority of items listed will be perfectly legal under our tax code, but when the public see he dropped $1200 on a dinner and wrote it off as a business meeting people will be pissed.

Exactly. If you have the money to use all the legal loopholes more power to you. If you do that & run for president then fess up to it and take the hit, but not Trump, he's too much of a coward. This destroyed Romney & it's eating away @ Trumps numbers now daily.

Speaking about the frontrunners, the Green Party candidate noted that if you ?look at the track record, the terrible things that Donald Trump says ? which are truly reprehensible and horrific ? have actually been done by Hillary Clinton?.

For example, she said, ?on immigrants, xenophobia and hate mongering, we?ve learned that Trump and the Republicans are the party of hate and fear?. But, Stein went on, ?the Democrats are the party of deportation, detentions, and night raids?.

And the night-raiding is carried out against the women and children ?who are feeling the violence that Hillary Clinton herself gave the thumbs up to with this horrific corporate coup in Honduras?.

US policies very much promoted by ?Clinton herself are generating these refugees, which she then, and the Democrats, are criminalizing when they get here and sending them back,? says Stein.

One of the things that amazes me about politics is that a politician will blast someone for doing "x" but then will turn around and do the same exact thing.

A good example of this Trump's policy on the Veterans Administration. He says he's going to open more locations, reduce fraud, blah blah blah, but the reality of it is he is going to do the same thing anyone else would do - find the "right" person for the job, set some goals, and pray the problem goes away.

Your comments about illegal immigration are interesting, but you are missing a few points. illegal immigration is just that - illegal - and our government has always handled these as crimes. The border patrol, for example, works far from the border arresting people and sending them back home. Criminals are still criminals, and handled the same way no matter who is in office. However, with the way Trump talks he is likely to start a war between legal Americans and illegal aliens... We don't need mobs cruising around large cities looking to beat up illegal aliens.

Also, Trump is playing to the fears of Americans. Isn't illegal immigration down? A quick search on Google say illegal immigration peaked in 2007 at 12 million, and has since dropped to 11 million. Still a lot of illegals.

He is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway a public stock company -- his salary is listed somewhere here as well as his stock ownership. This much is public record.

The only public record on Trump would be in the Courts, Deeds, Customs ...

When 2 of the top 10 richest people in the world endorse you and basically make a huge mockery of the guy who just SAYS he's rich (but no proof of that), that whole "he's a businessman so i'll vote for him" thing sounds even more incredibly stupid.

But of course, Buffet and Soros are lizard people and control the world and Jews are evil or whatever dipshit excuse the far-right has these days.

First, citing his ?personal perspective,? Mr. Assange accused Mrs. Clinton of having been among those pushing to indict him after WikiLeaks disseminated a quarter of a million diplomatic cables during her tenure as secretary of state.

?We do see her as a bit of a problem for freedom of the press more generally,? Mr. Assange said.

They reported on Morning Joe this morning that someone close to Trump leaked that he doesn't want to win, only increase his brandand lose as a victim of a rigged system, and start a Trump TV network with Roger Ailes.
