2020 Election

It's the House Ways and Means Committee. They can demand tax returns.

 

They can, and have. In April, Rep. Neal (D-MA), chair ofthe House Ways and Means Committee, formally requested Trump's tax returns, citing the 1924 law giving his committee that authority. Mnuchin refused to comply. After all, Trump's cronies think he's above the law. Presidential candidates aren't required by law to release tax returns, but every major-party nominee in modern American history has done so until Donald Trump. And he promised! (Post # 7461)Great Orange Father speak with forked tongue!

Yeah, to be fair the republicans are still filled with big government statists. That’s why I still don’t call myself a republican.

To give the Democrats some credit. They are at least open about being advocates for big government, and don’t try to hide it like the republicans often do. Republicans are often bait-and-switch; they campaign on small government policies and inflate the government once elected.

 

The flag, as most Republican capitalists regard it, is private property. When I run down to Walmart and buy one , it becomes mine to do as I wish with it. It is private property.

But would you or FlagMe wipe your asses with a UN flag?

 

Richard Neal of the House Ways and Means Committee has the ultimate right & power to get anyone's taxes according to the law. The problem today is that William Barr and Steve Mnuchin will not comply with that law either. They are protecting Trump. That condition will likely change after the November election. If Biden wins, Trump just might become the first president to end up in a federal prison. William Barr might join that list with Spiro Agnew and Edwin Meese on it.

 

No, I like the UN. I want them to come here and confiscate your guns.

 

Exactly

 

First you say there is a legal requirement to do so, then you admit there isn't. You're just chok-full of BS, aren't you? Like I said: No legal requirement, and the fact that every other president has done so doesn't make it a legal requirement. It may be a POPULAR requirement, but's certainly not a LEGAL one. He should tell them all to go straight to hell, and anyone trying to treat their wish for his returns as a law should be arrested and sent to GITMO. Preferably after they spent a few days crammed into a conex box in the desert.

I don't give a hoot if he promised or not. Maybe he didn't know, and later realized there's no law requiring it, and that's why he changed his mind. The fact is that the left only wants to do a fishing expedition in hopes of finding some excuse to get rid of someone they can't control hwols standing in the way of their agenda. Wah. Grow up, crybabies. The left squandered the past several years trying to get rid of Trump, so much that they selfishly ignored the job they were elected to do. I hope the dems get burnt so bad they never recover. I hope the likes of Pelosi, Waters, Feinstein, Schumer, and Boehner all get indicted, arrested, tried, and convicted for their betrayal of Americans.

And I hope stormountain cries like a bitch here when it happens. I'm tired of hearing about all of it. There are plenty of unconstitutional "laws" on the books and a lot of constitutional ones that get ignored, so I really don't care what some sniveling troll has to say about it. As far as the UN goes, I hope they're stupid enough to try that, and I hope it gets them all hunted down and summarily executed, along with all those who aid and abett their behavior.

Whatever you get this election is exactly what we all get, good or bad. Trump got elected because he thumbed his nose at the party hacks who refused to listen to the will of the people, and nothing anyone says wil change that. Feel free to say or do whatever you want about it. I think that the more these politicians try to have their way, the more it's gonna' blow up in their faces. It's gonna' be gloriously epic. I hope to be able to see it on the news AND the net, whether anyone likes it or not.

The preceding has been a statement of my own opinion. Feel free to disagree. Feel free to whine and moan. I"m entirely too old, stiff, and sore to do anything much about it myself, but I've noticed that a surprising multitude of younger folks are far more determined than I've ever been and , sooner or later, you're gonna' have to listen or suffer the consequences, just like the dems did in '16. Enjoy. Rant mode off and all that $h!t. All rights reserved without prejudice, too.

 

Cite the law or it doesn't exist.

 

It would go somewhere toward honesty to hand over his tax returns. I mean, it'd suggest that he has nothing to hide. That he can be trusted. That he understands our concern.

 

Yeah, right.

 

Summarily executed? You better seek some help.

 

Try 26 USC 6103(f)(1) of the tax code (that does exist, passed in 1924.Treasury officials “shall” turn over the tax returns “upon written request” of the chair of either congressional tax committee or the federal employee who runs Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation. The language is mandatory; no exceptions. The Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee did ask for the tax returns. The Trump administration unlawfully refused to provide them.

 

There you go. But "they " don't have to obey the laws of the land--they're very special.

 

seems to me the previous administration released tax returns , and still did bad stuff anyway . Trumps tax returns are like everyone else's tax returns , none of you damn buisness

 

Ok... then he's hiding something.

 

prove it
