1. K & R ...... nt

[busterbrown]

2. MUTHA FUCCCCCCCCCCCA!

KICK IT BABY

[Ilsa]

22. LOL

I can't help but laugh. I can hear a voice saying it just like you wrote it. Maybe I'm a little juvenile for laughing, not at you, but your fantastic expression.

[kag]

37. Juvenile?

Well, if it is, then you were just saying what the rest of us eight-year-olds were thinking!

[C_U_L8R]

3. Boom.

An honest to goodness billionaire schools the Trumpcon.

[4lbs]

4. Even if Mr. Buffett had paid no taxes in 2015, the fact that he gave more than $2.85 BILLION to

charity, and virtually none of it was used as a deduction.... that would excuse it.

However, Mr. Buffett paid taxes and gave away BILLIONS.

Also, Warren Buffett just obliterated the "can't release under audit" lame smokescreen that Donald was trying to proffer.

[DK504]

40. Buffet

Warren Buffet stated years ago he will give away everything he owns before he dies. He has helped more people than most charities try to help. A man that still lives in his 50 year old ranch house makes me wish he ran for president.

5. NAILED IT

[brer cat]

6. Thank you, Warren Buffett!

School that a**hole!

[ffr]

7. If it's good enough for Mr. Buffett, Donald should agree! It's his whole line & defense.

Now it's being used against him.

RELEASE THE TAX RETURNS, DONALD!

[Achilleaze]

8. No wonder the Comrade Trump & the Republicans hate Buffet

He's honest.

[hj.anony1]

9. Yes, he is.

Oh the hatred over at the "money center" as I look at the comments there.

Thank you Warren! NevertRump

[imanamerican63]

11. Liar, liar! Pants on fire!

Trump is being schooled every time he spins his little mind! How in the world did he get so far? I know, I know! He stepped on & everyone including his wives, family, business associates & friends!

[NastyRiffraff]

12. THANK you, Warren Buffet

That's how someone with nothing to hide responds.

[joshcryer]

13. Holy fucking shit, rekt!

[kacekwl]

14. BAM you dirty lieing slimy childish

Poor excuse for a man and American.

[Sophiegirl]

15. Outstanding!!!!

I mean, seriously, the man gave billions to charity. Who DOES THAT?

Well, apparently a decent, honest man who isn't consumed with how much more money he can cram in his own pockets and more about the world around him.

[randr]

16. Sharing citizenship with such men make me a proud American

He exemplifies the GREATNESS of our nation.

[longship]

17. Warren Buffet is one cool dude.

Ed Asner plays Buffet in HBO's film Too Big to Fail, which I recommend. Lehman Bros. CEO, the appropriately named Dick Fuld, is played by James Woods (a fucking jerk playing a fucking jerk).

It is an interesting film relating what happened at Treasury and Wall Street in the autumn of 2008 when the entire world economy was melting down before our very eyes.

In addition to Asner and Woods:
William Hurt plays Treasury Secy Paulsen
Paul Giamatti plays Ben Bernanke
Toni Schalhoub plays Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack.
Billy Crudup plays Tim Geitner

Lots of other recognized stars here.

It is a frustrating film because the outcome is what actually happened, not optimal.

HBO films are pretty damned good, this one included.

Wiki: Too Big to Fail

[Ilsa]

25. I watched it, like, five times.

Great acting, great dialogue. I loved watching Asner as Buffet with his grandkids.

Buffet is a thoughtful, responsible citizen that understands that he uses "the commons", depends on them, and should participate in paying for them.

[longship]

28. HBO does very good stuff.

Too Big to Fail is an exemplar of their quality. Game Change, about the 2008 GOP VEEP run of Sparkle Moose, is another.

Their casts are universally excellent.

Try Temple Grandin some day, with the incredible Claire Danes in the lead role.

[Ilsa]

30. Saw all three, and

Temple Grandin's story is special to us.

Palin's run was wild. I guess Nicolle Wallace really skipped voting in 2008 because SP was so unqualified.

[Gothmog]

18. WTG Warren Buffett

[LittleGirl]

19. LOVE eom

[RaymondLuxuryYacht]

20. Now watch trump and his cronies argue with success.

[NewJeffCT]

21. fantastic response

maybe Mr Buffet can sit next to Mark Cuban at the next debate.

[Jim Beard]

23. The Warrens are really good people.

Warren and Elizabeth.

[nolabels]

24. Mr. Buffet lived at a pauper pace of a little more than two million net income

Of course, that 2.85 billion going through one's hands probably makes life a little busy

[world wide wally]

26. From the horse's mouth

[PunksMom]

27. BOOM 💥

[StrictlyRockers]

29. That is some dynamite! BOOM!!!

OUCH~!!

That's gotta smart.

[lindysalsagal]

31. DT always comparing himself to people well above his status: They're HUMAN.

He tried to put himself on the same footing as Obama. Fail.
As HRC. Fail.
As war veterans. Fail.
As Warren Buffett. Fail.

Sounds to me like we've reached the 3rd level of grief: Bargaining.

Next, he'll want to match up to other elected officials....Fail
or Good businessmen. Fail.
or Trustworthy people. Fail.
or honest people. Triple fail.

[bigtree]

32. kick

[malaise]

33. K & R

Groper Don the Con - all lies all the time

[Skittles]

34. THANKING MR. WARREN

who the F*** does Trump think he is, assuming they're all JUST LIKE HIM

[spanone]

35. Bingo!

they don't call him don the con for nothing

[NNadir]

38. Wow. Never heard that one. Thanks. n/t.

[OverBurn]

39. Is that for real? We know it's true :-) But Did He Really Say That?

If it's real, I'd love to see that go viral.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

36. Yo, Agent Orange! Watch what you say when you talk about Buffet.

He is a far bigger fish in the Wall Street pond than you will ever be.

[Beartracks]

41. Niiiice. Too bad trumplodytes won't notice or care.

Lies made onstage on national tv are all they hear.
