  1. Can you imagine a US president going all the way to the Supreme Court to hide his tax returns? But his supporters will say he’s hiding them to own the libs 😂😂, there has certainly never been a more gullible group in the history of the nation. As Pelosi said “ all roads lead to the mother Russia” 😂

    1. It’s a shame you don’t know what the hell you are talking about he released 1,000’s of pages detailing his finance. If you could read the justices destroyed the Demercrats from being hyper partisan and over-reaching their oversight authority. They told Trump he can’t be TOTALLY exempt from all subpoenas. Then went on to explain how he can avoid this one because it’s a political action. Try to read something before you comment you are providing how uneducated you and it seems many of your idiot friend.🤣🤣😂
      Your comment is not about what the supreme Court said it’s about with CNN said.another little jackass that don’t have the sense he was born with 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆

    2. @Lawrence DeHarde show us these “”released” pages of finance then. becuase he never released anything. man you right wing loons go through so many mental gymnastics as if hes trying to prove a point that he can hide these specific tax returns??? what a joke you are

  2. Wait, a president being held to standards that apply to the people he governs???? Impossible!

    1. A Morfus No, it suggests that he thinks it’s none of your business. And he is right. Personal tax returns are private. You have NO right to them. Every president for the past 50 years doing something is hardly a reason for Trump to do it. There are a lot of things that Trump’s doing differently. Sorry, but you don’t get to demand anything on this issue.

    2. Linda Scott And there it is. You just ASSUME HE CHEATED. You have no proof. You have no evidence that you want to corroborate. You have no credible theories, even. You just want t see if you can FIND SOMETHING and if you can’t you’ll just use them to try and embarrass him.
      Why aren’t you asking for anyone else’s tax returns? Oops, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? Because if a partisan act from Congress can force Trump to disclose his tax returns, what’s to stop them from doing it to ALL of their political enemies? And what’s to stop them at tax returns? What else can they then demand? You guys are so full of hate for people on the other side of politics that you’re willing to destroy everyone’s rights to get your way.

    3. @Erroneous Monk exactly. Biden is the only presidential candidate that didn’t have to debate his opponent (Bernie) one on one to win the nomination. Now he’ll be the first presidential candidate to not debate the incumbent president. Liberals are hypocrites and frauds.

    4. @Erroneous Monk nope. I don’t assume he cheated, he has decades of cheating/committing fraud on:
      The Federal government (Trump’s used Federal programs to subsidize building houses. Then refused to rent to black people)
      Banks
      Contractors
      State and Federal taxes
      Investors
      All 3 wives

      In addition to sexual assault on 25 or so women.

      And money laundering.

      There was plenty of coverage of all of the above in a variety of news sources since the 1970s. It really makes me angry that he was able to skate all these years, but he would counter sue and run thr clock out on his victims. It was his MO. And he liked to brag about it so it was well known.

      All of which happened before the crimes he is being investigated for related to his campaign. Which is what the Manhattan DA had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to get his taxes for, so tjey can see how he handled the $ he gave Stormy Daniels.

      There are literally millions of people who know Trump is a criminal, a grifter and a clown. Most are from NY and NJ, but plenty in Florida.

      How anyone in this day with the internet could BELIEVE this conman was worthy of out highest office without doing any research into his past is beyond me.

      And as i am an American patriot, which means I believe in the Rule of Law, it will be up to prosecutors to investigate, indict and take to trial to find out exactly what crimes he is guilty of. The Manhattan DA is doing exactly that. The SDNY, NY Ag and others are right behind.

    5. @II nosferatu II I am positive Biden is very eager to debate him. He debated some of the best debators in public life during the primaries. (I would pay good money to see Kamala Harris turn her prosecutorial ripartee on Trump. It would be like a Samurai warrior taking someone’s head off with a Japanese sword. We could take a big chip off the deficit if we did a pay to view.)

      But for now, letting Trump be Trump is Biden’s best campaign strategy. When your enemy is digging himself into a hole you don’t disturb him.

      The contrast on the debate stage between a blowhard narcissist with no morals, character or humanity and a good man who *gasp* cares about other humans will be dramatic. Looking forward to it.

      Biden’s a scrappy working class guy from PA. As opposed to a spoiled rich kid from Long Island. I would love to see Biden take Trump down if he does that creepy come up behind you move like he pulled on Clinton.

  3. Jesus this is like a game of tag, everyone just passes it around, but there’s no end of the line.

  4. How’s a guy who has a criminal investigation ongoing on him run for presidency? Makes no damn sense

    1. @Erroneous Monk While there is no law requiring Trump to publicly release his tax returns, federal law of IRS Code section 6103(f) does require Trump’s (or anyone else’s) tax returns to be given to Congress if they request it. The House is requiring it, so it’s not valid?

    2. @Dmitri Fukov Last I checked, they own almost all of this land mass…assuming we follow our own laws…DOH! How many treaties we illegally broke would you like to revist, since we broke every single one?

    3. @Erroneous Monk
      Your name says it all.
      You are in error.
      You live with your head in the sand.

    4. @Jean-Claude Arsenault “federal law of IRS Code section 6103(f) does require Trump’s (or anyone else’s) tax returns to be given to Congress if they request it. The House is requiring it, so it’s not valid?”
      thy challenged the constitutionality of that law. I think.
      I know they said this was a case of Congress harassing a president, so the president should be exempt.

    1. @Mueller Time if Trump is re elected the Blue state i live in will secede, probably along with our neighbor states. We are sick to death of providing your red states welfare while you create Bumfuckistan run by mobsters.

      You think Putin allows his serfs to own guns? Lmfao, they will take your guns soon enough. They may let you vote, but who wins won’t be your decision.

      By the way this Blue household is a gun owning one. Your usual drivel about Dems trying to take your guns away is just more lies you are stupid enough to believe. Unlike you morons we are happy to comply with common sense gun safety in order to own our guns.

    2. @Mueller Time Lmfao you believe the turds in lie sauce they feed you??? We are looking at a Blue Trifecta.

      Republican operatives are freaked out by the coming Blue tsunami. They look at ststes that used to be solid red and they’re purple. They look at purple states turning blue. They look at Trump underwater witu EVERY GROUP EXCEPT UNEDUCATED WHITE MEN and know Trump’s chances are slipping away.

      Trump has turned off everyone except the most rabid of his crazed base, and his failure will have coattails. We will hold the House which we won 40 seats in last election. We will probably take the Senate. The challengers to the spineless Trumpublican Senators are out raising them handily (i am a tiny part of that 😀) while we have a literal army of get out the vote folks sending postcards to Democratic voters, plus calling and texting.

      Meanwhile the neverTrumper Republicans are mounting incredible ads for Biden. They know the Trumpublican party is DEAD and they’re working to get Biden elected. And those guys know a lot 0f tricks.

    3. @Loneplains Drifter ? You gave me 4 thumbs up because you’re looking forward to being a 3rd world kleptocracy?

      Ok, to each his own.

    4. Vital Signs There’s no rule saying that anyone has the debate anyone else it’s just a forum for the American people. Trump supporters are very eager for the debates because they think Trump will murder Biden in them imo it would be a win for Biden because it make him look strong and over 70% of Americans want to see #trumptaxes Biden would #OutTrump the #TrumpTroll by Refusing to debate him.

    1. But hey, Hillary lost her last appeal, now she finally HAS to testify. Just don’t see anything about that in the media though, hmmmm? :-/

    1. @Cali Marie How about for allowing 132, 000 Americans to die due to his incompetence and inaction during this pandemic as a starter? Living under a rock these past three years, Trump turd?

    1. @Earth Florida that’s because the people who don’t care are brainwashed sheep who whatever daddy donny says

  5. This is exactly what trump’s been doing his entire life, endlessly tying things up in court.

    1. @26 different qurans is ‘perfect quran preservation’ I am so tired of this same tired old bullshit about cities. I am a retired city planner, I forgot more about cities than you ever learned.

      My Democratic wealthy suburb is well run. The world clas economic engine City we are a suburb to is where much ofbthe technology you use every day comes from.

      Take your Nazi antisemitism that has been repurposed for racist right wing morons and shove it where the sun dont shine. You would salivate if you could live where I live.

      Meanwhile the Blue states are the source of our economy and most of the federal coffers. Red states are welfare queens sucking at the federal teat.

      Go look it up.

    2. @Mark Delany Because my content and politics are separate…you nothing better to say? Biden, is that you? It’s the, um, well you know, the thing, that bothers you, right?

    1. Fine Dandy, The Orange Crook’s financial records will probably show his money ties to the Saudi’s also!!

    1. @TinaYou_FatLard Being a dictator is not about quoting Hitler… and Mussolini… and apartheid-style racists… It’s about putting yourself above the law (or indeed any criticism) and using the system to crack down on any opposition. “Luckily” Trump does both.

    2. Tiffany T.
      Cause he’s Not a President for the People
      He was Appointed as the Chosen One
      He’s only there to Protect his Animals, who bark when fed …

  6. Lesson learned from the Epstein case, $ talks and has major influence on decision making

    Anyone running for president should be vetted, background checks, tax documents reviewed …etc

    1. Absolutely, we need to change the legal requirements for candidates. I was horrified to discover that none of that was codified into law, just on the honor system!!! And don’t forget the most critical of all, a psych evaluation.

  7. He’ll lose the election and then he’s probably going to be charged in Manhattan. To many skeletons to hide forever.

    1. That is when Trump is assassinated and Putin takes over. I’m a 73 yo white Democrat. I worked for the DNC in Chicago for years . I know a FIX when I see one. Everyone complains about BLACK LIVES MATTER. They are the ones that are going to save this country when the White Supremesists start a Civil War. (That is what they will call it. anyways))). In reality it will be Putin’s attempt to take over. Watch VERY CLOSELY to the commercials being put out by the Lincoln Project. All of it is TRUE. The problem is that when they take over we will then find out that their platform they will feed us in the future is being taken from Trumps playbook — ALL LIES !! It worked before and they are just telling us what we want to hear and 80% of them are REALLY GOP members. Why do you think Kellyanne Conway is still in the White house and married to George.

    2. Trish6704 turn off the tv Russia is broke no need to try and bring down America anymore all that is is bs they’ve fed u thru the years of politicians robbing u over and over,we don’t have no threat just a bunch of scared people with phones in their hands thinking they are entitled but in reality their poor and shouldn’t have a thousand dollar phone when their electric and water getting cut off

    3. @Trish6704 They will save us from a war by creating a race war, which is exactly what they are doing? They being the WHITE task masters behind the DNC, with their racist terrorist movement BLM? Were your utter ignorance not so sad it would indeed be funny.

    1. @John :3 That’s what I think too. He’s not as wealthy as he says he is or he’s involved with Russia somehow. Or both

    2. I’m sure the truth is far worse than we imagine…. hell I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump was responsible for Covid-19.

  8. If Trump fought as hard on COVID 19 as he does on his taxes we would all be in a better place

    1. @II nosferatu II if all your going to do is use YouTube videos as evidence, sorry but it’s not a real argument… And I’m not even going to try and educate you. Go to college

    2. @Jamie King this girl said go to college lmaoooooooo. I’d take you to school on any subject sweetheart.

    3. @d bc I think liberals shouldn’t have rioted for 2 months ignoring social distancing and further spreading the virus. I don’t see how trump is responsible for that. Help me out..

    4. @II nosferatu II I watched plenty of protests. Masks and being outside greatly reduce the risk.

      On the other hand opening bars and restaurants and lots of no mask parties sure are good ways to spread Covid19. Along with meat packing plants, prisons and nursing homes…

      Of course since we had zero leadership or even decent science consistently provided from the Trump administration, its no surprise to anyone with a public health background that WE LEAD THE DEVELOPED WORLD IN COVID19 WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD IS *SAFELY AND SANELY* OPENING BACK UP.

      And yes, you should go back to college. Your ego is far bigger than your intelligence or your knowledge. Almost as big as your rudeness.

    1. @Drew Oliver the Manhattan DA needs them for the Grand Jury investigation into Individual 1 in the campaign finance violation.

    2. @toxic wastetoid What is Obama going to jail for…..BEING BLACK or BEING HUMAN? Obama will go to jail but trump the CON trump won’t go.
      News flash people, he will go as soon as he is out of office.

    3. @toxic wastetoid Can you explain/justify this and then look at the current administration and find them better?

  9. Supreme Court: “The President is not immune! Now let’s make sure he’s immune until the election!”

    1. @Rick Roth Thank God for the Lincoln Project. They’re the only hope we have for getting rid of not only Trump but also Mitch and the rest of his POS toadies.

    2. 🤣
      Yep they still Think We Ain’t Paying Attention – NOW
      They just covering their asses, for when Rome Burns Down to the Earth
      Nowhere for them to Hide Either 🙌

  10. He was elected saying he would show them, all of this now to see them, he is hiding something massive.

    1. @Earth Florida pretend its 9/11 and he was president, if he paid for those planes to crash into the world trade center, then you’d like to know because then it would mean, he fostered then foundation for a war for his own gains and essentially cheated for a second term.

    2. @Earth Florida Can you explain why it is that you don’t care? Why does any politician deserve blind trust?

    3. @Earth Florida the Manhattan DA cares. He needs them for a Grand Jury investigation into Individual 1.
