Because of the loans, we all know that the Russians have Trump by his wet diapers !! Always remember Helsinki !!!
That presser was one of my most embarrassing moments an an American. That day I really felt deep shame being a citizen.
I think the Deutsche Bank files contain all the evidence of his debt to Russians. I hope one day we get all the details.

The release of the tax returns is very, very significant.
Consider that we are headed toward a contested election. It's pretty likely that Biden will win by a significant margin but not by a landslide.
To get Trump out of office he must be publicly humiliated. He must be humiliated to the point that even his henchmen are embarrassed to be around him. But how do you humiliate someone who has no shame?
One way to do that is through a resounding defeat at the ballot box. The other is to unequivocally expose him as a colossal failure in his business.
Trump will appear to be a cowering shell of a man who faces absolute ruin. Nobody wants to have a president like that.
Do you agree that whoever illegally released his tax returns should be prosecuted?
Our president is a liar and a cheat and you want to talk about the whistleblower that exposed him. Technically he should be prosecuted. Then the country should thank him for help to expose Don the Con! He broke a law and did a very good thing for his/her country.

Oh, I saw my first pro Trump commercial today.
Something about Biden using a teleprompter.
I don't know. That may be a little worse than that list against Trump I just gave.
My, trump must be totally rattled going into tomorrow. He already announced he's going to be high (per his challenge to Biden), but now he's going in badly wounded regardless.
Not a good day for orange man

Oh by the way Sally, do you now admit that trump is a huge conman that really never deserved to be president? Or are you still a member of Don the Con's loyal cult and will believe trump to the end?
Are you still with Biff?
I posted this in the tax thread, but that'll probably get deleted, so want to say this here:
Remember in 2012 when people made a big deal about Mitt Romney "only" paying $1.9 Million (14% tax rate) for tax year 2011. Mitt paid more tax in one year than we pay in our lifetimes.
Now look at Trump. $750 last 2 years. $0.00 for ten years! What a con man! The methods he used are tax fraud. That should piss off every hard working American.
No one likes paying taxes, but our taxes pay the salaries of every soldier, sailor, airmen, marine, and coast guardsman. It pays retired veterans pensions and funds the VA. It pays for infrastructure projects to keep us and the economy moving. Think about all that!
Friendly suggestion to cult members, if Trump invites you do one of his crowded rallies, don't go. He really doesn't care if he puts you or your family at risk to be infected with Covid. I don't even like you, but I don't want you to risk getting and spreading Covid.
You're welcome!

Good post. But it will not register with Don the Con's marks. Those taken by a conman usually can never believe it. "But he seemed to be such a good guy that was looking out for us"
As one trump mark posted here, "I'm still voting for him".
There is also this little gem in the midst of the trump tax fallout...
The GOP got so worked up over questions about Dems seeming to question her objectivity with regard to religious views, but you have to wonder why some of her history is getting scrubbed.
"Barrett has frequently appeared in a "Vine and Branches," the People of Praise magazine. Those mentions included birth and adoption announcements for some of her children and other passing mentions and images. A number of online versions of the issues that include her appear to have been removed from the website -- though it is unclear why that action was taken. The magazine's website no longer has issues for May 2006, July 2008, December 2008, March 2010, Winter 2011, Summer 2012 and Fall 2012, which all contained references to Barrett, her husband or children."

I'm glad some Dems are taking the gloves off. A little hint at a trump conspiracy can't hurt.
We now know the president has at a least 1 billion in debt and he's very likely to be under water. The question is who is behind that debt.

I meant to say he IS in under water with over 1 billion in debt.

Should they “lock her up?”
There did seem to be some pressure to have Anthony Kennedy retire as Supreme Court Justice to get the younger Kavanaugh confirmed right before the 2018 midterms in case the Republicans lost control of the senate.
He served 30 years on the Supreme Court, so it made sense to retire and I don't like these lifetime appointments where they hang on until death (sorry Scalia and RBG).
But if you had an exact term length, like 20 years, you couldn't have any of these moves where they try to time new SC members to when the same party holds both the White House and the Senate.
By the way, Kennedy was confirmed in 1988 (a presidential election year) with a Republican President in his last term and a Democrat majority Senate.
It's the same scenario of the 2016 Garland nomination but with a Democrat President in his last term and Republican Senate.
The Democrat senate confirmed Regan's choice but the McConnell Senate would not hold a hearing or vote on Obama's choice who even Republicans voiced was a good moderate choice.
A 20 year term beginning and ending in odd years would work to end these political dances.

That stuff is supposed to be absolutely private. Whoever gave it to the NYT should go to jail.
Yes, I detest Trump and want him gone. That doesn't excuse this.
It could all be perfectly legal. If Melania is the one who gave the returns to NYT then there is no problem as long as they are returns she jointly signed.
I don't think Melania wants to continue as first lady so it very well could be her.
Well, Trump has claimed the returns the NYT has are fake. If he sues them then he has to prove the returns they have are real. That is likely what the NYT is relying on. Trump to insert his foot in his mouth. Screeching they fake. Suing because they are real.

3) TRUMP is responsible for any tax fraud. HE is the one who provides the numbers.
1) Tax preparers do not prepare the summary of information used to create a return. They take summary number for the accounting department of the business (almost always employees of the business) and put the numbers on the proper forms. Tax preparers rarely have a need to see receipts.
3) See 1) above. Tax attorneys and tax preparers are not responsible for the fake information they are given by a company's accounting department. They are protected as long as the numbers they received are the numbers they used to prepare the returns, and did not make up numbers on their own.

According to Don Jr and Eric T. mostly money that flowed in from Russia.

Richard Nixon did precisely that, when trying to convince Americans that he wasn't a (tax) crook.
Your tax returns are your personal documents and you're free to release them to the public.
Everybody knows that.
