President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Remember of course any tax return filed on behalf of Fuckboy is 100.00000 percent bullshit. The fat fuck admitted (actually, proclaimed) as much in his alibi tweets yesterday.

 

My missile's bigger than your missile!

 

Despite your intent, you are absolutely defending Trump on tax returns. And the reason we need to know is that the guy has sold himself as this great businessman. That was his supposed qualification for office. There is also the matter of questions regarding his entanglements with foreign financial institutions and investors. The information is absolutely relevant, especially with another election coming up next year. The practice clearly should not end and it is absolutely reasonable and fair to say that an argument otherwise is a defense of President Trump.

 

Bullshit. It is absolutely our business for reasons that have been stated multiple times on this thread alone.

Regarding your point about the media, that's actually a big part the media's job, to kick the different parts of our government in the ass when they don't do their jobs. That part of the job is a big part of why we have the freedom of the press that we do in this country.

 

A clear sign of a losing argument is when the person making it begins to turn to false equivalences like this one.

 

You do realize that he lost the popular vote, right? Even if we were to say the voting totals illustrate the importance of the issue, then the results would actually show a majority want to see the returns.

 

Disagree.

I think the myth of his success persists.

And I think folks remain largely (perhaps willfully) ignorant of the breadth and depth of the grift.

Plenty of Trumpites here in 2015 and '16 argued passionately that 5 bankruptcies and 3500 lawsuits were business-as-usual among the real estate elite.

And he'd run the government like his business. Which, sadly, is exactly what he's done.

 

Discussion?

I am not bright or engaged enough to have a discussion on anything other than basketball, heavy metal, and first-person shooter video games.

You are all just unfortunate witnesses to the outward manifestation of my internal monologue.

 

It’s not a guardrail at all. It didn’t stop Trump from running, or from winning, and he never released them. If he’s corrupt beyond words, and he won anyway, how was it a guardrail? It wasn’t.

Good luck making it a law that candidates have to release them. But if you did, you wouldn’t cut out the corruption. Tax forms aren’t a hidden camera, and none of the folks prepare their own taxes.

 

Fair enough.
