Asked about Democrats going after his taxes if they win back the House, Trump said, "I don’t care. They can do whatever they want, and I can do whatever I want."

When your supposed leader says shit like this, its time for them to go.....No you don't get to do what you want.

1. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi. This may be all I post until after the election. n/t

2. So much for the decades of the GOP claiming to be the 'law and order' party.

5. Ha!

Only fools believed that, just like only fools believed they were the "family values" party or that they believed in the sanctity of life.

Unfortunately far too many people in positions of power in government and the media DID believe this bullshit, even while many of us were screaming that it quite clearly was a crock of shit from the get go.

3. He's not wrong...

....I mean honestly what are Dems going to do if they subpoena him or any information he has and he refuses? Or any of his lackeys and croneys refuse? What exactly are they prepared to do?

Because we know right now that the answer is going to be "No". So we better be prepared to do something about this because there isa 99.999% probability that he is just going to thumb his noses at Dems and everything and anything that they try to do.

7. The forms are filed with the IRS

I assume he could order the IRS not to release them but it isn't like he has them locked up in a safe behind his desk. If they are subpoenaed and a court rules congress gets them the IRS will follow the court's ruling.

8. The House would subpoena the records from the IRS, not from Trump

But he's right that his fans don't care about whatever will come out. However, courts will care.

6. If we take back the house, maybe they'll try to explain to him how the government works.

You know, with pictures and funny noises so he can understand, followed by an investigative committee.

10. Does Trump think he has the only copy of his return?

Sure he can fight it, but even if he succeeds the optics are toxic. Everyone pretty much knows why he can't let them be seen.

11. How can any rethug stand to be in the company of another rethug? Do they bond based on their

propensity for lying? Ugh. They probably lie even when they talk in their sleep.

12. House has subpoena power and trump really can't stop it,

The committee will deal with IRS..trump can try to block but has no standing to stop investigations.

13. amazing, he still shows no evidence of understanding American government

what a fascinating episode of American history this will become


bummer that living through it is such a nightmare, but that's the price we pay for experiencing such interesting times.

14. After the Dems take the house i'm sure (my opinion only)

That they could subpoena his personal tax person?? Maybe get the info from the IRS? Could get very interesting!
