Trump's financial records ...

Oh, come off it. Each PotUS "packs the court" the way THEY THINK.

Which is why, I suggest, that an SC assignment should NOT be for a lifetime. Ever!

Ten/fifteen years is long enough ... !

 

Whereas I believe in the Constitution. Which is what I just emphasized. Democrats don't. They don't like the laws as written.

 

Well, yes, you've got that right.

But what has happened is that the Supreme Court is "packed" - ready for sending - by the Replicants. It should be "neutral" but isn't. Whyzzat?

You don't even understand the condition in which the US is today. The Replicants have made a long and earnest effort to "buy politics" (by means of Gerrymandering and an unfair EC) and they have succeeded the manipulations! (Which is how Donald Dork became the fifth-candidate in the history of the nation to have lost the popular-vote but win the presidency!)

Because MONEY IS EVERYTHING and true-democracy is "great if you can get it but don't be sorry if you cant"!

You don't even understand that a dork-PotUS who LOST THE POPULAR-VOTE IS NOW STUFFING THE SUPREME COURT with rightist-judges. And why?

Because you haven't the slightest inkling of what is fair and decent in a healthy democracy. You've swallowed the Replicant doctrine hook, line and sinker.

Which is why you are politically blind ... !

 

Obama suggested a highly competent replacement for the court and the Replicants refused!

From here:

The Constitution is a fine document, written by fine men. But it is dated and never was intended to "last forever". Which is why those who originally conceived it made room for Amendments.

Unfortunately, and almost immediately, Replicants then managed to add to the Constitution (in 1803) Amendment 12 that stipulates that an Electoral College can negate the popular-vote by allocating ALL THE COLLEGE VOTES (which are determined by population size) to only the winner!

What happens then is that it is entirely possible for a Donald Dork to lose the popular-vote by a spectacular margin and STILL GET ELECTED POTUS!

What the hell kind of political governance is that? And all I can get from Rightist-dorks on this forum is "Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles".

Me arse! Political Cookies may crumble but they are baked using a recipe ... !

 

nah, there has been enough smoke and questionable dealings to bring this up. He understood that the public had a right to know and he said he would release tax returns and has not. It has been two years, if the audit is not done it is because he is delaying the findings. Most of us were aware and I am sure he was too that there was no law saying that they needed to be released, but this is the stuff that happens when you don't.

 

No, Clinton and Oboma maybe, and Bush Jr I think made enough seling the baseball team. . But Carter I believe is a moral man, Reagan never cared much for the trappings of wealth, I think he would be happy as a gentlemen rancher. Bush SR, being old yankee money is another I doubt. I would have no problem with a law stating that for 10 years after office congress can look at your records.

 

There is nothing wrong with post secondary education. There are bad choices being made by individuals taking loans and taking subjects that have little job market value. You want a degree in English, Journalism, gender studies, History, Political science, classics, sociology, archaeology etc. We have a wonderful system of community colleges where you can go and graduate debt free by just working the summer and part time during the year.
Then on to a 4 year college for your BS.

Now, I will make a exception in that there should be more post secondary trade schools.

Even in Mass where I live, where there is a college on every corner kids take loans to live on campus. That is almost 35,000 rather than take a free bus! Now I understand you can live on a farm and need to reside at school, that is tough when you are trying to save money. But there are kids that go to private schools that are not as good as the state schools as they are easier to get in and have a warm fuzzy feeling, those kids pay 2x more than kids that go to state.

 

It aint wrong certainly but it could be better - some data-points here:
*From here -

*But also from the Census Bureau here - Census: More Americans have college degrees than ever before

It should be that a nation's target that, at least, three-quarters of the population have a post-secondary degree. At 21%, the US is nowhere near that goal.

Of course, that 21% means 79% do not have a post-secondary degree. Which is likely to have an Age Effect, meaning going on to a postgraduate degree is a more recent phenomenon. Why? Because for some it is too damn costly!

As I never tire of saying, "If a post-secondary degree is not nearly free, then many, many students will be left out." We must not let that happen for the good of the nation as a whole!

And it need not happen if more of us insisted that the DoD-budget be placed in perspective to its needs. There is NO WAR going on from which the American public might expect harm. In fact, where they might expect the most economic harm is from the fact that they cannot earn decent salary-levels because the manufacturing jobs that did employ them have mostly hightailed it to China and Southeast Asia!

The country needs badly to change spending habits and fund tertiary level educational degrees for those who want to pursue one.

The EU does that, so why can't the US ... ?

 

I'm pleased to see that remark. I am from New England.

I went to a "private university" because ... it let me in! I did not think of going to UMass. Perhaps I should have. But at that time - long, long ago - the cost of postsecondary degree was not as scary as it is today.

Anyway, I submit that a Tertiary Education MUST BE A FEDERALLY BUDGETED NATIONAL OBJECTIVE* for all citizens graduating from US high-schools. It's not only logical (in terms of costs) but also as regards ultimate pay-off in terms academic achievement (and thus intelligence) of the nation as a whole.

*And if Hillary and not Donald Dork had been elected, the above might be in place today .... !

 

Trump's pom pom flailers are confident, I'm sure, that the transparency achieved by his keeping his promise to release his tax returns, the disclosure of his financial records, the testimony of his knowledgable intimates subpoenaed to appear before Congress, the making public of the People's White House's hidden visitors logs, and his waiver of the non-disclosure agreements that he forced staffers to sign will all accrue to his greater glory as a stable genius of irreproachable integrity.

Despite his seemingly desperate, furtive attempts at concealment, as he proclaimed in his manure-suffused Rose Garden on Wednesday,

“I'm the most transparent president in U.S. history!
I think most of you would agree!”
​

He clearly welcomes the chance to share.

 

Waa, waa Hillary lost, waa waa.

 

Waa, waa, Hillary lost, waa, waa.

 

All of Bidens records should be turned over as well, just in case there is something there. How can he be trusted as president without this?

 

Wah,Wah, she won the election by one of the largest margins in history!

And still denied the presidency! You call that a real democracy?

Only Replicants do ...

 

The dude is sick, sick, sick ... in the head ...

 

It's 2019. I feel sorry for you that you are not over your loss.

 

Pointless drivel ....

 

Some people should take up needlepoint and learn to not worry about who is President.

 

I went Umass continuing ed at night after my AS from a comm college. My oldest did the transfer to UMassDartmouth Computer Eng from his AS, My youngest was blessed and went to an Ivy full boat.

 

And others should not be allowed to post one-liner sarcasm in a Debate Forum ...

 

On the surface it may appear public exposure of President Tantrum’s financial records makes sense. However, I suspect his accountants have over a number of decades indulged in so much ‘creative accounting’ the relationship between the records and the real world could be very tenuous. However getting hold of his banking records, especially those of the large foreign banks could be very revealling,

 

I could relax and get on with my needlepoint if an impetuous, tantrum throwing brat wasn’t in charge of that red button.

 

It is not written in law, so he's not obliged to divulge them. But, neither should it be necessary by law to do so. Most other presidential candidates since almost half a century have done so. Because they recognized that the financial background of The Person deciding upon taxation and expenditure should be someone of profound integrity*.

I hope my fellow Yanks here have understood how sick this guy is. But, we were warned. From Psychology Today (dated Sep 28, 2017):

'Nuff said? I doubt it. The US is rife with the mentally challenged who would kiss Trump's backside on prime-time television.

*So, what did Donald Dork do upon accessing the presidency? He reduced taxation on the rich and increased the National Debt by funding extravagantly the DoD!

 

He's a very stable genius.

 

The great thing about Trump is nobody has to edit his videos to make him look like he is on drugs or mentally deranged.
