ā€œBecause he’s under auditā€ has all the rationale of postponing the engineering and maintenance inspection schedules of your local waste treatment facility because the monthly billing system is transitioning from a 1st of the month to the 15th cycle.

He flipped, then he flopped within the same sentence. Jeeze pick a side John, that whole ā€œhe’s under auditā€ has been disproved or is not a disqualifier for over 2 years.

if you take the President at his word

That is a disqualifying qualifier of the highest order.

ā€œYeah, I would like to. But I think he has, at least if you take the President at his word, a legitimate reason for not turning them over, he says he’s in the middle of an audit,ā€ he said. ā€œI take him at his word, and I respect that. I think all things being equal, I would like to see the President’s taxes, I wouldn’t be adverse to turning over my taxes, I don’t have anything to hide.ā€

Uh oh, low blow !

The president has given you no reason to ā€œtake him at his wordā€ about anything, let alone regarding a so-called audit, senator. He could easily produce a notice from the IRS that he is being audited without any compromising personal info if that really was the case.
PS: Off topic, but, why is ā€œDude Looks Like a Ladyā€ stuck in my head right now?

Makes sense. I’d really like to see my kid’s report card, but he says he can’t show it to me because his teacher is rechecking all the work he’s turned in to see if he cheated and I take him at his word. I mean, if someone’s always in trouble with the IRS every year, it’s best that we just stay out of it and let them fight.

Thus said, Cohen said Trump isn’t being audited, but he’s an admitted liar who worked for a pathological liar, so he obviously can’t be trusted at all.

What kind of fool would take Trump, a pathological liar, at his word? I mean my god, he’s just recently been saying his father was born in Germany -you can’t take Trump at his word for anything, big or small.

Did JNK actually say ā€œadverseā€ I wonder? The word would be ā€œaverse.ā€

Trump is taking advantage of a quirk of human psychology which has been demonstrated in studies: if you give a reason for an action, people are more likely to believe you—even if the reason makes no sense.

I believe he’s congenially afflicted with a speech defect known as "being born with South "

Yes, I have the same affliction. However …

Plus, I know he’s smarter than that.

Twice now in two days, I’ve found myself in agreement with Republicans. Is this upside-down world trying to right itself?
