Either way, it's almost for sure you won't donate $1.6M to charity in your entire life

Note also that Trump is donating his salary to various government agencies, not charities, so likely not tax deductible. In fact, it is like he is volunteering his whole Presidential paycheck as a tax. Someone like the Clinton's, who "donated " to their own charity, really just paid themselves and took a tax deduction. That, along with all the people donating used clothing and other trash to Goodwill type charities for an overvalued deduction, is the reason charitable deductions should not be allowed.

I'm still flabbergasted anyone still gives a flip about the tax returns.

Could it be that it's because Trump is fighting tooth and nail not to release them? It's called adverse inference. In other words what are you hiding Mr. Transparent? And let's not forget during the campaign he said he would release them not fight all the way to the Supreme Court. to keep them hidden.

Is it required? If a court makes a ruling, the IRS can just release them to the party trying to get them. This isn't complicated. I don't want anyone to see my tax returns, it's my private business and I have nothing to hide. So there's that. Again, not complicated.

WookieMan says

You also understand the taxes are going to shed light on absolutely nothing?

See above. But that is simply not true. 1 or 2 years not much. But eight years with all the back up info would give a pretty clear overview of his financial situation.

WookieMan says

Is it required

There are different cases being litigated. There is a law that does require the IRS to make available to the House Ways and Means committee any tax return. Trump is disputing this only for himself, not in general.

Chiromancer says

See above. But that is simply not true. 1 or 2 years not much. But eight years with all the back up info would give a pretty clear overview of his financial situation.

And it gives no indication of the current situation or future situation of his finances. You're grasping at straws. He's an ego maniac. You were originally correct that it likely shows he doesn't make as much money as he says. What does that do to you? How does that influence the American taxpayer? Do you think Obama or Bush were 100% honest? This idea that you're being given truth on anything in government is hysterical.

But eight years with all the back up info would give a pretty clear overview of his financial situation.

And his financial situation id nobody's business but Trump's and his accountants. A more honest policy would be to examine the finances of politicians who have made serious money only after having been elected. And not just tax returns, since career politicians plan there tax strategy as to make the tax returns innocuous, so they can volunteer public viewing.

This is the problem with left/right crazies, you develop tunnel vision:


Epstein raped children, reps/dems attended his parties and did the same. Pedophilia is bigger than your bullshit paradigm.

I don't see what the big deal about these tax returns is. It is kinda similar to Obummer not releasing his Harvard transcripts - in both cases, hyperpartisan hacks are hyperventilating.
Would be better if both of them release this info, but if not it is OK with me.

Are there any reputable reports of Republican politicians hanging out with Epstein and flying to his orgy island?

He donated way more to D's:
Epstein has donated $184,276 to politicians on both sides of the aisle, including Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Bob Dole since 1990, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

However, there is also this:

Alexander Acosta, worked together with Epstein’s high-powered legal team to give him and an undisclosed number of other people federal immunity for crimes committed against underage girls. And Acosta was trump's labor secretary.

Kind of, like not at all.

I am asking if there are any reports of prominent Republicans socializing with him or attending his rape island.

We have lots of examples of Democrats and Hollywood types hanging out with Epstein. The only thing I have seen connecting to Republicans is a 20 year old video of a Trump party with Epstein lurking around.

After Epstein was convicted and served time from his 2008 conviction, the following people were hanging out with him at his house for a dinner party: Prince Andrew, Woody Allen, Katie Couric, Charlie Rose, Chelsea Handler, George Stephanopoulos.

Democrat Senators like George Mitchell and Bill Richardson have been accused of going to his island. And of course we have all the trips Bill Clinton took with him.

socal2 says

AFAIK Trump socialized with him, but did not go to rape island.
I could not find prominent R's on Lolita express flights to island.

Really, so a man who can influence policy and government contracts worth billions of tax payer money and the tax payers dont have a right to know if maybe he is conflicted in his decision making? It's perfectly ok for Trump to practice malfeasance at will. Cause why, he's already rich? But is he?

Chiromancer says

Kind of, like not at all.

Why not? Obama was being touted as a very smart guy, just like Trump is being touted like a successful businessman. Their image would be tarnished if one would be losing money, and other would bomb classes.

Trump was born in Kenya

nope, in Free Orange State (Oranje Vrijstaat)

KNEEL_AND_BLOW_ME says

Trump is epically ripping off the United States in ways that were never before possible with the help from any donor or country that will cooperate with him for favors, also at your expense.

You're going to say it doesn't matter. How much did you pay in Federal taxes? Getting to the point of not listening to people with zero skin in the game.

KNEEL_AND_BLOW_ME says

WookieMan says

How much did you pay in Federal taxes?

You must have went back to work, or are you still on hiatus?

Ahhhhhhh. I understand now. $32k or $38k in 2018. How about you? I know it's a range on my end, but don't have my taxes handy. Within those two numbers though for sure.

Still on hiatus though, thanks for remembering. I don't have to work, it's amazing.

How could Alex Jones save Trump from a Far Left Obamite Judge Berman-Jackson and a jury consisting of DC bureaucrats?

Just wait till half the Democrats go to prison for pedophilia. It’s why they are trying to legalize this shit, they know justice hammer is coming.

Exactly.

Well, the cat is a meme representing a smug reaction in the face of hysterical accusations.

Kind of like Trump voters vs democrats.

Woman Yelling at a Cat refers to a meme format featuring a screen cap of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members Taylor Armstrong and Kyle Richards followed by a picture of a confused-looking cat sitting behind a dinner plate. The format gained significant popularity across the web in mid-June 2019 and the cat was later identified as Smudge the Cat.

Lol, 3 years, tens of millions of dollars, polarizing the entire country and not doing their jobs...FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS.....and all the dems get is some third rate guy guilty of lying crimes. HOLY SHIT what a win, I mean waste of time.

Hey, what happened to CNN's favorite Democratic Contender, Michael Avenatti?

They used to have him on several times a day for months.

"Average global temperatures do not tell the story — it is the increasingly frequent weather anomalies which do."

that is the worst scientific horseshit I have heard in a while, on par with saying that CO2 emissions will have no effect whatsoever. Averages mean everything, a few anomalies - nothing. Is temperature dropping in last year the cause for saying that averages do not matter?
This is science on par with greta Thurnberg or New York Times, e.i. nt different from medieval witchcraft.

This is damning evidence of Trump involvement with criminal malfeasance.

How? All it's showing is they can't find anything on Trump, so therefore he's likely innocent (as it should be) of all this shit being thrown at the wall. While Stone associated with Trump that doesn't mean Trump does illegal things.

I have good friends that have gotten DUI's. Does that make me a drunk? Or that I drive around drunk? Fuck no. Guilt by association is a dangerous slope to go down with a duly elected POTUS. I guess you want a banana republic.

Nah..he just wants the banana...
WookieMan says

I guess you want a banana republic.

What it shows is how dangerous leftoid cultural marxist judges are when put into place. Laughable allegations. Uh oh contacts to Wikileaks that the government was lied to about. WTF the government crooks ought to stay out of people's private business. To be fair though part of the investigation was done by now Trump's Justice department. So I expect a pardon, otherwise I'll hold it against Trump as well.

Stone was convicted of lying to Congress. That is it. The obstruction charges are all related to the lying.
Every fucking politician is guilty of that.
Trump should pardon him just as a general fuck you to the DemoRats.
