Pelosi says House Democrats will begin process to obtain Trump tax returns

[Jarod]

On what grounds does Nancy need to see them? Trump's been in office for 2 years next month. He takes no salary.
There's no legal requirement for government workers to show the public their past tax returns.
Any returns prior to this are his business, not theirs.

The law does not require a basis.

[Jarod]

no.....

They do, I’ll find the rule later. I’ve posted it before.

[Jarod]

if Nancy tries to take Trump's tax returns we should wrap them in hers and her husband's.......

Ok w me.

[Jarod]

I would like to see the financial reports and tax returns, on the Clinton Foundation!!

I’d be okay w that.

[PostmodernProphet]

Those are part and parcel of Trumps tax returns.

well no.......those would be part of some corporations tax returns....... the IRS knows the difference.......

Phrase it as you choose, but Congress will obtain all of the tax returns they request.

Again how do you know? He claimed early on to be donating it to charity. Either way no way to know esp since he lies about everything.

He gives it each quarter.

Hello Stretch,



It doesn't matter whether you care to see his tax returns or not. Most of the country wants to see them. We have the right, and we are going to get them.

It is very troubling that you don't care to hold the President to his word. That's called giving him a big fat free pass on lying.

Now that there is so much concern about him breaking the emoluments clause, using the office for profit, it has become imperative that we see those returns. And we shall. Since you don't care, this shouldn't bother you. And if seeing those returns reveals dirty dealing then we need to know about that and take appropriate measures. No man is above the law.

And another thing. You can tell yourself that I 'hate' if that helps you rationalize your own view. I assure you: it is absolutely not true. It couldn't be further from the truth. I don't hate anybody. I love being a human and being part of humanity. I love humanity and my fellow humans. I love people. That's why I prefer to respect others and only wish to interface with those who can engage in respectful civil discourse.

What I feel for the President is not hatred at all; but sorrow and shame.

I am sorry that he has screwed his life up so bad and I think it is a shame that his message has resonated with so many Americans. He is obviously a very unhappy man. It is sad. He is caught in an endless loop of trying to get richer than he already is, and that has become his life. The sad part of it is that it doesn't matter how much wealth he accumulates, he can never be satisfied, never be happy. He goes from one trophy wife to another and can't be happy with any of them. He always has to have another attractive woman. What he is attracted to is the outward beauty, the imagery. Looking attractive in pictures is not contentment. He completely overlooks the companionship possible with an equal life partner. His ego prevents him from recognizing anyone else as his equal.

I see a very sad man who is obsessed with wealth accumulation. What does he do with it? What is his pleasure? Insulting people, cheating on his relationships and playing golf seem to be his only pleasures. He doesn't even want to spend time with any of his children until they are grown (or being developing breasts.) It is shameful that we have selected this immature mind as our leader. Republicans forced this upon us by inflating an image of Hillary as some kind of horrible person when the reality is she has devoted her life to public service as Trump devoted his to getting rich.

There is a reason that no matter how much money he accumulates he will never be accepted into the inner circles of old money. He is 'new money' and he is shunned. His 'new money' is highly suspect to be dirty money, and we are going to find out. He should have left well enough alone and never run for President. But he was so bored with the shallowness of wealth accumulation that his ego would not allow him to be content with it. Not that taking on the most stressful job in the world has helped him. Pathetic, sad, and sorrowfully shameful. The USA will be far better off as soon as he is gone.

Where in the hell is it written that you have a RIGHT, to see anyone's returns?

<this should be good>

If you really believed that Trump has nothing to hide, you would not care.

That wasn't what was asked, now was it??

I've noticed that you haven't posted your real name or address, what are you hiding??

Congress has the right to obtain them

[mak2]

Didn't Trump promise to provide them when the "audit" was completed? Com'on man, can't you Trumpsters get pissed of about at least one bald face lie he told you? Just one...

[Jarod]

no.....

Yes...

No, they are not. A C-Corp is different than an S-Corp ignoramous.

Once again, that wasn't what was asked.

Are you being willfully obtuse or have you always had a cognitive problem??
