    You use my name. They use my name. You want different treatment: no. You need to follow good counsel, I would think. You have attacked and ad hommed for a long time, because I disagree with you. Robert, we are on a Board.

    I did cite, you have to ignore that in order to have a point. It has to be a subpoena from a specific member of Congress AND cannot be politically motivated. That is where you and Democrats fail.

    The funniest part of this is Democrats have no idea what is actually in the returns, only a vague hope it is something they can force Trump out of office with. Just like a Muelller investigation. :lol:

    Yes, everyone is worried. Because:

    Trump has no chance to defeat Hillary!
    Once the electoral college votes in December it will overturn the election results and Hillary will be President!
    Trump won't last 90 days!
    Trump won't last 1 year!
    Mueller will put Trump in prison!

    The alt left predictions have us shaking in our boots :roflol:

    Yay!!! What a great leader! I love the way he subverts the law, presidential norms, derails treaties making other nations believe that we can't be trusted to keep our word, ****s up longstanding alliances, starts counterproductive trade wars, places sniveling and subservient people in key spots so that he doesn't have to listen to objective advice, smooches Russian anus and boasts about fairy tale "achievements"!!

    Hoo-****ing-ray!

    Requiring a President or Presidential candidate to release his tax returns could be a slippery slope.
    Who's next ?

    How was JakeStarkey in any way attacking you? Take a moment and re-read what he said. "saveliberty, stop making things up. Cite your conclusions." That is hardly an attack.

    I'm sorry, I don't agree with that.

    There is plenty to specifically justify requiring the POTUS to furnish his or her tax returns, along with any other records that governments have on them at any level. Perhaps there may be some things too sensitive for the public to see, but tax returns are not one of them.

    I personally don't see why Trump's supporters aren't holding him to his word. He said he would release his tax returns, then he changed his tune as he often does. It seems absurd for anybody to argue that it is not in the best interest of the public to know what Trump's tax returns look like. In fact, I think they are more worried about what is in TRUMP'S best interest, not the public.

    Why don't you stop beating about the bush and simply pass a law that no Republican can appear on a ballot?

    Is refusing to release your tax returns on the GOP platform? I had no idea!

    If that's what you really believe is happening, then it's going to be nearly impossible for you to have a reasonable political discussions with folks across the aisle.

    He can't, did it on another board too. Just is what Jake does, you have to admire consistency.

    Yes, that is what I think is happening. These laws are a partisan attempt to obstruct people from voting for Trump.

    What other reason can you think of? If you really think a candidate should release his taxes and he doesn't don't vote for him. Don't obstruct voters who don't care about taxes from voting for him.

    The vote suppressors are trying to drive Democrats out of elections, sir.

    Indeed, what I think is happening is that the partisan voter suppression efforts by Trumpers is to prevent many people from voting for Democrats.

    Shrug. That doesn't make your partisan ploy to block Trump's re-election through ballot manipulation anymore praiseworthy.

    Do you?

    Trump is not being asked to abide by any prerequisites that any other presidential candidates are not asked to abide by. So why is it so unfair?

    Because it is an ad hoc requirement targeted at a specific candidate, as you very well know. It is a bad precedent that can easily be abused in the future and to the detriment of the country.

    If you don't like Trump, don't vote for him. Don't try to obstruct others who may want to vote for him.

    Why are you so protective of this man, and willing to help him cover up?
