President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Heck, during one of the 2016 debates, Clinton flat out called him out that he didn't pay taxes.
His response was, "I'm smart." He admitted it. She should have pressed the issue then.

 

Hopefully for you, sleazebag

Trump warns sharing his tax returns will 'lead to horrible things for so many people'

 

Even taken on their own terms for stupidity and corruption, I'd be shocked if those returns are anything close to correct.

The unreported skim from the Russian money laundering alone has to be a multiple of what appears on his tax returns.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

The stupid thing is the number of shell companies that all reported the exact amount for gains and losses and the ones the posted the exact same number multiple years in a row.
Even poorly paid sports writers know when you cook an expense or milage report, you blur the numbers so it seems legit ... or so I've heard.

 

exactly

 

One time I might've added a toll or two to the expense report. I think it was 75 cents or a buck. I took back roads instead. I was making $11-12/hour, so any morsel of cash was good.

When I filed my mileage, my boss wondered why I didn't have a receipt. "I have E-Z Pass," I said. (I did.) He asked me to print off my E-Z Pass statement in future months to prove I took the toll road.

I left shortly thereafter.

 

The odometer readings on my mileage reports may have….contained me guessing to within 100 miles of the actual number. The mileage was correct. I knew how many miles it took to get everywhere. The odometer number? A rough estimate. I just always chose an odd number to end it on.

“125…uh…32…3. Yeah, that’s it.”

 

Trump cheating on his taxes isn't surprising - that he was so sloppy and obvious about it - and yet STILL hadn't been flagged on it for years is surprising.

Between Trump, Tate and the Idaho murders - if 2023 becomes known as the year when justice is served - I'm here for it.

 

A thousand times this. After so long, you knew how far it was to the regular stops. I'd just look at the previous months' and fabricate the odometer readings.
Also, more than once, if I went somewhere new and the actual mileage was a nice round number, I'd tack a couple or three on to make it seem more legit.

 

Something about this seems very familiar.

BRASILIA (Reuters) - President Jair Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States on Friday, 48 hours before his leftist rival President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was set to take office, saying in a teary goodbye speech he had "lost a battle but not the war."
Bolsonaro, who has barely spoken since losing the election, has not confirmed where he is going, but plane tracking data suggests he is heading to Florida, where his security staff are already in place.
He has repeatedly said he would not hand over the presidential sash to Lula at Sunday's inauguration, breaking with Brazil's democratic tradition.
He may also face legal risks from remaining in Brazil as his presidential immunity expires when Lula takes office.

 

... so "smart" is another way to say "a criminal" ...
