‘All’ would be extremely hard to monitor and enforce. No chance any of this gets passed. The Democrats don’t want it either and are doing it just because they know it will end up in graveyard.
I think it's illegal to accept donations from foreign entities, and if it isn't, it should be. They have no business trying to interfere in an election.
Maybe you don't care, but generally the public wants to know the sources of income for a Presidential candidate to see if they are beholden to any special interests or foreign entities.
Foreign entities can’t give to campaigns. As for it targeting Trump, wouldn’t it also target Biden? Seems more ‘anti-swamp’ than anything, but I can understand you viewing it as targeting Trump since him and his administration have violated so much of it.
"I'm only vetoing this so the presidents who come after me, all very much failures in comparison to me, won't have to suffer through a witch hunt like I have bigly."
It won't get that far. McConnell will add it to the stack of 250+ bills sent from Congress that he is sitting on, refusing to bring to the floor for a vote (something like 87 of those had bipartisan support according to an interview I saw with David Cicilline last week)
I 100% agree..Couldn't agree more. I can't stand the democrat's obsession about Trump's tax returns. I think it's a witch hunt and I truly think it IS presidential harassment. I have been consistent on this topic.
I thought this board was limited to ONLY facts now.. No opinion, no speculation, no emotion. You should not be posting things like that if you cant back it up.
Not sure if Trump has commented on this himself since he stopped saying he would show them, but this is the logic that spokesperson's of the WH have applied to this - the american people have decided on this issue.
Don't have the clip but it was something to the effect that they aren't important because the voters have decided on this issue. Well, I'm a voter and until I get to see them I'm going to think he's hiding something.
yeah, uh huh
if I had to guess, Trump is withholding simply to drive issues like this and then when he DOES have to release his tax returns? Democrats will look like fools again
I dont think I understand what youre saying. Are you saying he cheated on his returns or not? If yes, please provide proof.
Did you expect me to go to bat for the democrats? Because that won't happen. As for Trump's tax returns, I believe there are errors as well as outright shady dealings, for a few reasons: First, he isn't that clever; second, he's got a long history of questionable things with his money.
Nobody is accusing Trump of mistakenly cheating on his taxes. We are accusing him of deliberately cheating on his taxes. I would imagine it costs a lot of money to get tax preparers to do that for you.
Personal taxes, no, but Cohen has stated the Trump Organization manipulated property values on taxes and loan applications. Not a stretch to say that behavior extends to his personal taxes.
Why? Do book deals and huge speaking fees seem unreasonable to you?
check out the Obamas !!
lol
Because they're overworked, understaffed and government run, which means that any progress is slow going. If they were a car, they could go 0-60 in 2.5 months.
Yes. I don't know what's legally required right now. I believe everyone must report income from lobbying on behalf of foreign countries (and maybe on behalf foreign interests more generally?). Perhaps former politicians should report income from all lobbying efforts whether their clients are foreign or domestic. Maybe they already do; I don't know. Either way, the reports should be made public.
Exorbitant speaking fees have always seemed sketchy, IMO. (I'm not saying they should be illegal.)
Fun fact.....approx $1 of every $6 in taxes is not paid every single year on average....some years it's worse than that.
I see a "billionaire" with shady financial history isn't bound by anything. Makes sense.
And most of those unpaid dollars are from business owners and other non-salaried taxpayers.
Correct...well over 50% comes from sole proprietorships. Those sources where a third party also reports is a much smaller percentage.
I had an error on my taxes, under 6 figures and they tried to gig me for $10,500 ( I had sold some employee stock)
