You cannot donate to a specific federal agency. And you cannot deduct donations to non-charities.. I am absolutely certain the Trump is writing the salary off as a tax deductible donation. And at the same time, writing it off as a business expense. Double dipping.

Why are you absolutely certain? Have you seen his tax returns?

Granted, it's a very Trumpian thing to do. But I don't think he would take that particular illegal deduction while under such close scrutiny.

More accurate than Nate Silver's hilariously wrong 538 model in 2016 which you libs cited , ha! He was right, all of 2 times.

Silver's model has been extremely accurate in a very large number of political races.

You are just looking dumber and dumber with each pronouncement.

Are you really that stupid or are you just trolling?

I just heard Preet Bharara, who I think headed up the Southern District of NY and he said that it was not likely Mueller or the SDNY would indict Trump while he was president. What I found interesting is that he said most of those crimes of what many are saying Trump has committed have statutes of limitations of 5 years. So if Trump is re-elected those statutes of limitations would run out. I am not a lawyer but could the SDNY have like a sealed indictment that takes effect upon his leaving office?

Cafepress has a 100% correct POTUS prediction record. Try again.

Learn math. I've explained this to you before. There is no reason to believe that Cafepress is much more reliable than a coin flip. The sample size is much too small to attribute any predictive ability to this. Since they only predict presidential races, and they have done it so few times, they probably just got lucky.

wtf is the Cafepress Culture Barometer?

Also, which democrat is "Spartacus?"

White Supremacist “culture”

Booker is Spartacus.

Agree! In ancient times (when GOP ruled) they threatened Booker, ha ha, forgetting slavery was repealed. Oops! Your racism is showing.

Yes. He may already be under sealed indictment.

Like Assange, who was inadvertently & indirectly revealed to be under a sealed indictment. Co-conspiracy?

Cohen docs say they have his emails since July 2017. Bye donny

I didn't realize that Rod Rosenstein is still currently the Deputy AG overseeing the Mueller investigation.

I thought Bill Barr had taken over and Rosenstein stepped down by now but he hasn't given his two weeks yet.

Barr is now the one that would get the report and will decide its fate.

He can't fire Rosenstein without cause and Trump really can't ask him to fire Rosenstein.

It looks like Rod is going to stick around at the annoyance of Donald.

Ding dong the donny’s done

Oof.

How many times are you going g to fall for it. Every “song” you post is bad.

It’s not even up for debate.

It sounds like something a 10 year old would do on GarageBand.

Stop saying you are a musician. No one believes you now.

Ha!

1) That is one I posted earlier.

2) Using Garage Band isn't playing an instrument.

3) That is an excellent funky tune, brother. Nice Clav, blues scales but played over a non-typical blues progression complete with stops and a second section. Not even one of my best.

If you presented that in my class, I would give you a B/B- for composition and a C on the practical exam. It is probably worthy of what my first year students are able to do by the end of the year.

Flagpole, I request “Ding dong, da donny’s done” on those keyboards!

Sealed indictments? Yes. There is no way the prosecutors are going to let him get away with stuff just because he is a sitting president. So, if statutes of limitations are an issue, you can bank on sealed indictments.

Hmmm...that's not a bad idea. How about if I wait until we have an official word?

And by the way, of course you are right about The Orange One. He is done.

I have a couple of phrases that I have used in the past to describe the situation fully and yet succinctly. Not sure if you or anyone here remembers me using them, but I will do so now just to keep everyone up to speed.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

In a case like Trump, the way he entangles his multiple business entities, who has a 12,000 page tax return with some 100 companies passing through income to him, you would never find a case of a double claim for an expense. My ex-wife owned a CPA firm with 30 employees, and they sometimes caught obvious double claim attempts by people who did not have as complicated a return as Trump. In a case like Trump, he has his one "CPAs" (tax attorneys) in charge of his returns.

Financial fraud and tax fraud are an exceptions to the statute of limitation rules,
