When Donald Trump uses bankruptcy to protect his fortune from creditors -- but you can’t use bankruptcy to protect your home from foreclosure or your student debt from garnished paychecks -- it’s because the bankruptcy system has been rigged by people like Trump.

When Trump’s presidential campaign declares his buildings worth lots of money -- seeking to demonstrate his business success -- but his property tax filings describe the same properties as almost worthless, it’s because the tax system has been rigged by people like Donald Trump.

Nori Used as a Wrap for Sushi
nori
Paper-thin sheets of dried seaweed that can range in color from dark green to dark purple to black. They have a sweet ocean taste and are popular at Japanese meals. Nori is generally used for wrapping sushi and rice balls. When finely cut it serves as a seasoning or garnish. It can be purchased toasted (labeled yakinori); if purchased plain, it is usually lightly toasted before being used. Nori that has been brushed with soy sauce is called ajijsuke-nori. Japanese markets and some supermarkets carry nori either in plastic packaging or canned. All nori is very rich in protein, vitamins, calcium, iron and other minerals.
