So you didn't like Reagan either because he was a grade B movie actor? Everyone has a past. If it's not a past of evil doings then why should that make a difference?

Then perhaps he shouldn't have advocated for paying "internet taxes". I get it: it's another "what he meant was . . . ". How about we advocate that he stop tweeting bullshite.

and you are wrong as usual. I can buy from thousands of merchants on the Amazon website that don't charge sales tax.

Heard of Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Crooked Hillary before Trump? I didn't think so

He's tagging Amazon, and Bezos knows it. Trump has thrown down the gauntlet. We're about to see if Bezos values money losing WaPo or money making Amazon more

In which case Amazon isn't the seller.

Hey dipshit, maybe you haven't noticed, but its the bullshite that got him elected, its the bullshite that has CNN reeling, its the bullshite that has exposed the former FBI director and gotten the new FBI director under 3 investigations

We tried it your way with McCain and Romney. And we ended up with the worst president in my lifetime

And when we did get it with W, he just went along to get along, because he wanted to be presidential

Ok. Play it your way. He keeps playing to the base, tweets bullshite, can't articulate policy to save his life, has his PAC target Republican senators. Giggle and cheer at every shot and jab at the media. We"ll see how he does in midterms and next election. You realize there's a whole swath of people out there that just want him to act like a president dont you? Most of you would rather he stick it to the media more than anything else.

Trump fricking with Amazon?!

No. The message is obvious. A large part of Bezos' success is the tax-free angle for Amazon customers.

Trump: "Jeff - start shooting straight over there at WAPO or I'll cut your tax-free balls off".
Bezos: "Will do, Captain".

Sales taxes are collected by the seller. If you're buying stuff from Joe's Tchotchkes on the Amazon Marketplace instead of Amazon themselves they're not any more responsible for collecting sales taxes than eBay, Craigslist, or the landlord of a mall.

Oh goodie. We're in favor of using the punitive taxation power of the government to punish people now. Whoopie.

Odd timing. I've been thinking a lot about how much Amazon has been benefiting from an unfair playing field lately. Their deal with Whole Foods and the sales tax issue has rubbed me the wrong way. It's not so much them but the fact that the SEC would have stopped Wal-Mart or Microsoft 100 times back in the last 30 years if they ran similar expansionist business models. I'm sick of the government picking winners and losers.

I don't dislike Trump because he was a celebrity. I'm not even sure I really "dislike" Trump at all. I dislike him as President.

The point really has more to do with 40 and 50 year old dudes constantly talking about Trump's junk

I like that you edited this 10 minutes after my post to include an image proving my point, since "MCG Bear" is the seller in your screenshot and not Amazon.com
