    Haha. Like re using the same accusing assholes. Wonder what the rest of the world thinks about God bless America.. Due to politics and a horrible leader who tweets his desert menu, citizens in other countries probably think our leadership are royal asses.

    Never happened before because previous Presidents voluntarily made their tax returns available.

    I have to say that "Presidential harassment" has a nice ring to it. It is right up there with "Billionaire wellfare"

    Not quite true. The first was Nixon. He was under extreme duress. He had his motives for why.

    "When did presidential candidates start releasing tax returns?
    In 1973, while under audit and amid a controversy over his personal taxes, Nixon released returns dating back to when he took office in 1969. The scandal led to one of Nixon's most famous quotes. "People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook," Nixon told reporters in November 1973."

    Jimmy Carter started it voluntary. But who really cared?
    Why do you?

    Democracy is messy. The public needs to know everything that's going on so we can be informed unless it impinges on credibly classified issues. Career officials ought to be deciding what's classified and what's not.

    Because when you have so much influence over the tax system, and many other systems, I think it's in the public interest to have full disclosure of your business interests and operations. Trump isn't being subjected to extra scrutiny, in this case, he's being subjected to the kind of scrutiny the American public has come to expect from Presidents/Presidential candidates.

    Congress has a right to expect what the law requires. I expect the same.

    The people accountable to the electorate ought to be deciding the policy of what is classified and what is not.

    We make our decisions on election day. Not by endless investigations by the losers.

    so you think one day defines conduct....I beg to differ...and whether you see time lines as endless is your own fear...these investigations are finite...Nixon didn't get a free pass just because he was elected, neither will Trump if he's lying to the American people

    For years we've heard claims that sound like they've come out of the National Enquirer only to never find any meat to the story. And every argument Trump (and his defenders) has made in his own defense is so full of holes and NEVER amounts to anything.
