    I think you refer to yourself and wikileaks/Clinton emails here? :dunno:

    Difference is, Clinton was ordered by a Federal Judge to hand over the emails which were technically government property stolen by her, she illegally destroyed them knowing they were evidence in a trial against her, and proof of many crimes against our government including treason and charity fraud...

    Why do you pay taxes? It seems to me you should stand up for what you believe in and refuse.

    I think "because it's nobody's business" is all the reason a free man needs in a free country.

    That's why I've repeatedly refused to release mine.

    Nope, I don't think I ever argued that wikileaks shouldn't have distributed what they got. Although, there is somewhat of a difference between stolen documents and voluntarily released documents.
    I would rather Trump release his taxes voluntarily. But if someone steals them and gives them to wikileaks, I guess I won't shed too many tears.

    I am willing to accept that there is a very small chance that his tax returns will not tell me much. I still think he should release them. Next you will tell me that someone's voting record does not matter because they can change their mind or their criminal record does not matter because he paid his debt to society.

    This is not the point - the idea that one does not support transparency while running for the highest office in the country is ludicrous - and the idea that it is not likely to reveal much and thus should not be revealed is just as absurd. Especially when this comes from someone that railed after birth records...

    All the things after "next you'll tell me" are straw men.

    Don't attribute those kinds of statements to me, please. I can make my own statements.

    He's been fully transparent.

    There's also the obvious.

    Trump said he wouldn't release his tax returns before the election and he was elected anyway.

    The point is that it is a precedent and one that is worrying for a reason. The fact that he was elected had nothing to do with anything.

    It's clearly worrying to those who oppose him and his being elected.

    It's not a requirement by law. Precedent is irrelevant - we've never had anyone with the size and scope of businesses owned and his operation before (no precedent for that either).

    He's been transparent as needed.

    I can't believe I didn't get any love for Whackocrat.

    Temporary freeze on contracts and grants is consistent with what Obama did.

    EPA employees tweeting information before everything is reviewed by the people in charge can affect the stock market.

    Where's the beef?

    I don't know. Seems kind of totalitarian to forbid people from talking to reporters.

    I can assure you it would worry me no matter who the candidate is.

    Considering they turned Animas River into a fucking copper orange waste slime trail, I got none. Keep them assholes on their toes.

    translation....Denny doesn't want to feel butt hurt by losing so he's telling you not to make those statements to him by making statements to you....sort of, it's Denny's football...if you want to play catch, he only throws the ball..you'll have to go pick it up later....straw man.....any metaphor to describe or make a comparison is only acceptable if you bash a democrat doing it.
