37. Democrats need to pass a law requiring tax returns.
Wed Aug 1, 2018, 03:17 PM
Aug 2018

Every presidential candidate should be required to release the most recent 10 years of tax returns during the primaries. That would have kept Trump and other billionaires like him who have cheated and paid no taxes from running. Along with tax returns, any person who wins the president y should be required to liquidate, within a reasonable time, active businesses that would trigger the emoluments clause.

Not unless tRump Tower is seized by the government for being an integral part of a massive money-laundering scheme and turned into a high-security federal lockup, with armor-plate across all of the windows for 'security' (no reason whatsoever for him to ever being able to enjoy that beautiful view again).

As each little bit of evidence comes out in the Manafort trial Trump rachets his madness up a notch. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he fires Mueller and pardons Manafort before the week is out.

He has people in the gallery at Manafort trial telling him it's hopeless and Manafort will flip before the case goes to the jury. That puts Don Jr. on the hook for felony conspiracy at a minimum, and him on the impeachment block.

I think he's going to do something drastic before the week is out as well.

Cheeto has known how guilty he and Manafort are, long before any of us did. Long before Comey or Mueller were involved. He's guilty and he has known it. What's happening now is no surprise to this GRIFTER and his GRIFTER family and friends.

Get out of our White House now Cheeto, and take your scuzzy family with you. I've reached the point where I don't even care how you leave. I just want you gone.

Plus this week, or next week some people , Americans will start to be indicted, close to him , and members of Congress. He knows too Cohen's information , and information from others will make it impossible for him to get out of this one. I wonder to if they have found that these kids were being sold off for very bad things, and to others in other countries to use as they please. Its coming , and nothing he can do will stop it. Congress should protect Mueller without any hesitation , or they are involved too. They'll regret they're refusal . Think the worse and that's what he's more than capable of doing against children and people. trumps a monster that needs to be stopped. Its also going to assure BOTH the House and the Senate will be retaken by the Democrats.

You are exactly right, the information that Mueller has on the Trump crime family is starting to work its way to Trump through the lawyers.

Mueller has bombshell dirt on Trump and it's like a terrible nightmare and Trump can't wake up.

There were rumors that one reason his divorce with Ivana was sealed was because he had a nervous breakdown. Trump is a very pathetic, weak piece of shit who can't even fire his people face to face, it's why he hides behind his Tweets.

Can you imagine if he ever gave a real, full blown press conference, like all of the recent presidents have done?

Putin's only goal is to destroy the US as much as he can and TRump was but his biggest tool.

If Trump cannot wield power in this country, then Putin would as soon see Trump dead. They are not friends. Their only common ground is using people for their own wealth.

I doubt if he would be able to play checkers, much less chess. And yes, he wants to be papa trump for life. and then give us baby trump for life and he wants his own ton ton macoot to enforce his iron rule. However, we have been cowed for so many generations that it can easily happen, especially if people become apathetic.

I too love words that communicate the power of ideas. Last year, I was given a newspaper column of 350 words a week. This has truly honed my craft, using only the most important words placed together in such a way to create an emotion and action in others.

I would be honored if you would allow me to put you on my Free Parking email list. I'd love your feedback.

I don't think I have ever had a mentor for my writing; I have DNA strands that have been traced back centuries and it includes some rather heavy hitters in historical writings.

I follow your writing here on DU.

Thank you. I appreciate the Free Parking offer!

Many years ago, I obtained copies of the writings of a few of my ancestors from the Royal Irish Academy. They were leaders in the Good Fight of their day. Although I pale in comparison, there were similarities that stood out.

Rubin and Paul were amazing human beings. I think of, and miss, both of them frequently.
