other impeachment inquiries had a floor vote. That this one does not shows you how weak the case is and how tenuous the Dems are.
Pelosi doesn't want to force purple district dems to vote on it. that's all. it's cowardice.
I do not think that you know what the word, 'tenuous', means.

Trump forgoes a salary and you think he cares about receiving a pension???? Bahahahahaha!!!!!!
Trump does NOT forgo taking a salary. He takes it and donates it. Why does it do it that way? Because he can claim the donation as a tax deduction to offset other income and maximize his loses.
You do not seem to understand how tax deductions work.
Here, let me help you out. If he donates his salary then he can claim it as a deduction. That deduction will precisely offset the salary as income. The net impact on his taxes is zero.
Glad to be of service.
Trump ONLY eats at his "real estate" which includes restaurants. He DOES NOT eat at the type of commercial real estate properties you are implying. Hotels and Resorts. Trump tower has a Trump owned eating establishment. How could you not know this?

it is obvious that you have no clue how income claims and tax deductions work. You DO NOT donate a salary and claim the salary as a donation. You claim the income and where it came from. You make a donation that comes out of the total income claimed. The two are not linked in any way. They are entirely separate.

Someone pointed several pages ago on this thread the Rigged and Sally have the common trait of claiming they are males who post using female names. Odd.

You also need to be told that foregoing a $400,000 salary does not allow you to take a $400,000 deduction. Can you figure out why? . . . . . . . Nope, I knew you couldn't. . . . Because you can only claim the net income earned, not the gross income paid. There is something called taxes that take a nasty bite out of a $400,000 salary. Trump would only be able to generate a donation of $270,000 (Federal + DC), and not the $400,000 he says he has donated.

Well, the above is true except that Trump seems to be paying lower tax rate the estimated by the poster.
Trump can only donate what is left after-taxes. Trump's total presidential income is more than $400,000.
Trump's salary is $400,000, plus $50,000 for expenses, plus $100,000 non-taxable for travel, plus another $19,000 for entertainment. A total of $569,000 per year.

Admit you were fooled by a fake Mrs. Clinton quote, or you are not a man. You have no credibility until you can admit you were wrong and fooled. Everyone here knows that you are such a little Sheila that you can't admit that you were wrong. Embarrassing to be you where everyone here knows you have no integrity and you are no man. Wanker.

Aha! I didn't see this comment from you, mate until just now.
Rigged posts a fake quote from Mrs. Clinton and then when he's called out on it, he won't admit he was fooled. And he was fooled, like a monkey seeing a magic trick.

This their test.
Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine AM?
Is today the day Pelosi follows established precedent and holds a floor vote on the impeachment inquiry?
Will she give Rs the same rights the Rs gave Ds in the Clinton and Nixon impeachments?
Probably not - Dems just want power and they want to preach about good government...not actually do it.
And will there really be witnesses hidden from identity?

View from enlightened Republican
We got some good things from trump, confidence in our economy, tax breaks, loosening of regulations but it's time to sell. It takes a good business sense to be ahead of the curve to know when an investment is going south. Most other republicans are not there yet but a few of us are ahead of the curve.
We need to start planning for a post trump political world or we will be saddled with Warren and the progressives. In any major company trump would no longer be in a leadership role. The sheep are always the last to see this.
Republicans, it's time to cut our loses. I saw this a couple months ago, two months from now everyone will claim they saw it too. But you didn't.
My goodness, even the trumpettes are starting to talk tax returns. Only a matter of time, I guess, till fat boy has to surrender them.

Nonsense. Have you seen cash flow statements for commercial real estate properties? Nothing like what you describe exists.
Trump and his family can eat wherever they want and it's equivilant to pocket change for regular people.
Usually a cash flow statement has three elements: Cash flow from operations, cash flow from financing, cash flow from investments.
Trump's has a fourth element - cash flow from money laundering

Laughable. Where was your concern for the Kurds when Obama first left a vacuum? Just another b.s. deal. Besides we have spent $Trillions trying to remake various parts of the world while we flush away our national wealth. For what? Zero. Insane policies of both Republican and Democratic administrations. Time to end this nonsense. We cannot afford to be the world’s policeman.

Um...you are bowing down to one man, not even considering what the PARTY wants here. We even have bi-partisan agreement with regard to the Kurds, and yet you side with the criminal Trump or are at least defending his decision here. WTF is wrong with you?
Your last sentence is a true sentence, but there is a time and a place and a way to pull out of areas we are in. Trump just did it. Reportedly no consultation with anyone. It was clear Turkey was going to attack as soon as we were out. We owe those Kurds a LOT. They helped us put ISIS on the run. Shame on you for siding with a madman here.
The Ghost is toast!
Wake up & try to follow the day’s news & additional evidence. Ghost is clearly a late riser.
Ghost is senile, talking about the deficit. Trump has certainly made it worse.
