Small potatoes. Nothing here.

The Des Moines Register, which brought the issue to [the] attention of the first-term Republican.

I’m pretty sure “bringing the issue to her attention” is the nicest euphemism for “outing the tax cheat” I’ve ever seen.

Still, the one I’m waiting for is when AP writes “they were shown alternative accommodations” when Team Toadglans is sentenced to jail.

The scandal is how little she’ll cheat for.

You see Joni take a lesson from your fellow Republican Midwestern Senator Pat Robers, just rent a lazy boy recliner from your Iowa campaign chairman.

Nothingberder, other than that it’s just another data point, not that we needed it, that the tax codes at all levels have become wholly unwieldy beasts…

Ernst is a dishonest person. She lies. She steals. She lies about stealing.

Oh dear , why DID the paper stick its beak into the situation ?

The forms are quite clear, this is basic knowledge for anyone with several houses, and she has a Masters of Public Administration. I find it hard to believe she did not know. Plus anyone in DC ought to know that if you claim your residence in D.C. as your “primary residence” it will be a subject of multiple TV advertisements against you.

Yet, Ernst risked it all for a mere $1900? This really says a lot about how low of a grifter/cheat she is. Cheating on your taxes for only $1900 is rather lame.

I think whoever challenges her should start by making her defend her right to be on the ballot when she’s a non-resident of the state she represents.

At $60-100 per piglet $1900 dollars can buy a lot of hogs to castrate. Just sayin’.

Caught, exposed and embarrassed. Hat’s off to Joni, if she was Trump she wouldn’t have been embarrassed at all.

PHONY JONI MUST GO!

Iowa needs a Senator, not a Koch Rubber Stamp!

Taxes are extremely complicated. So she or her tax person made a mistake. Don’t make a big deal of this.
