Landlord Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It doesn't matter. We live in a post truth society. People will write articles, and type tweets, and get upset, but it won't actually matter one iota towards anything changing. 4 Link to comment
beorach Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I figured we might get some action like that with the House changing hands but we all know the Dems are pussies. 1 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Likely has less to do with the Democrats and more to do with toads like Bert Kavanaugh being on the Supreme Court Link to comment
DevoHusker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 serious question...why does it matter? if it shows that he is worth less than he claims, or if it shows that he paid less in taxes than he should have, or if it shows that he uses the tax dodges that all (ok most) extremely wealthy use...what will it really change or have any effect on? 1 Link to comment

Namely, any potential violations of the Emoluments Clause. Link to comment

(read/heard that somewhere) so then we are talking about 2016 or prior years...which would not fall under the clause? Link to comment

You mean the things that we all very obviously and clearly already know that Trump is violating nonstop, but that don't seem to matter? 2 Link to comment

So all of his returns would be in play. Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I guess I don't get the fixation of trying to obtain documented proof that he's a scumbag. Anybody that doesn't already realize this is an idiot. So it's pretty much as Landlord already said, what does it matter. Just the Dems version of lock her up and "but the emails". We're f'd no matter who it is or which party is doing the hand wringing. Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm amazed that people apparently don't care that the president of the United States may be in financial debt to hostile foreign governments. 5 Link to comment
