Mine, too! Booooring.
I have a feeling that you are deeply afraid that someone is going to release yours, Rep. Reed.
Amazing how all these right wing authoritarian scumbuckets become crusading civil libertarians when it suits their political goals. Or in other words, gun down as many innocent black people under color of state authority as you like, steal babies from their parents and toss them into horrific for-profit prisons, call Barack Obama a tyrant for daring to think he was president, but arrest Nixon-tattooed Roger Stone for lying to Congress and āOh, my! Is there room on that fainting couch, Aunt Pittypat?ā
If I was the finalist in the Democratic candidate derby Iād announce that Iām not releasing any tax returns because the new ānormā is not to do it. Just to watch the frenzy of screaming from the right for a few days.
U mean the returns that are currently under perpetual āauditā?
Heās right - Trump has been clear. He thinks his tax returns should be treated like the words he whispers in Vladimir Putinās ear - as things no American should never find out about. And since the second fact makes him, by far, the most dangerously compromised President in history, it is a duty of everyone in this country to find out the first.
What a load of crap:
- āthe American peopleā did NOT elect him
- He promised several times during the campaign to release his returns so arguably some people who did vote for him (the minority voteā¦) may have done so with the expectation that he would release his returns
If he (or any presidential candidate) wants the American people to vote for him or her then the candidate should expect to be transparent - including release of tax returns. Full Stop.
It is only a slippery slope if you are so greasy with corruption that you start sliding down the side of the mountain crashing to your political death, Rep. Reed.
I take great offense of your usage of āAunt Pittypatā to label Rep. Reed.
Everyone here knows that name is reserved for Senator Lindsey Graham. After all, some traditions must be respected!
I think the President has made it very clear as to where he stands on his tax returns.
Crystal clear! He was going to release them, then he was going to release them, then as soon as an audit was done heād release them, then after Warren took a DNA test I think?, then after an audit was done. He said very clearly that he would release them. Do your f**king job and hold him to it.
Where is this going to stop? Next thing you know ordinary Americans are going to be told by Democrats that they shouldnāt lie and cheat. Iāve never been so outraged in my life.
Not yet.
(I hear it is a dish best served cold.)
Iāll be cold alright - Iāll be a fucking corpse by the time we get around to it. hahahaha
Yeah, they think Hillary Clinton should release every email sheās ever written since the invention of the Internet, but heaven forbid that Fat Ass should release his fucking tax returns!
The slippy slope is that once you see them you will, or David Cay Johnston, will know where the rubles are stashed.
Okay, now I see the problem. We all know he didnāt actually, really win, he just cheated - so ipso fatso, no need to release!
Iām an American, and a Democrat.
Yes! I am outraged right now!
Hell yeah! Mr. Reasonable here was hooting and hollering and clapping along when King Fat Ass was telling a room of cops that they shouldnāt be nice to criminals when they arrest them, that they shouldnāt protect their heads from being banged on the car when they put them in the back in handcuffs. But, heavens to fucking Betsy, please be sure to cradle Roger Stoneās balls when you arrest him.
Dammit! Did you have to do that? Really???
If that happens Iām sure we here will be glad to disinter you and take you to the capital to lie instate so to speak. Sort of a delayed Weekend at Bernies, but with a bench not a beach.
