Does anyone remember what finally happened with Trump’s taxes? Did the Treasury ever give them to the committees that asked for them?

What about that law that NY passed to make it easier to share these records between states?

Did the Trump administration seriously just say “nah” to congress and that was it?

You guys need an English Civil War to establish the supremacy of congress

I saw hints of this earlier but are they really going to have a major part of his campaign be "WE'RE GONNA GET RID OF OBAMACARE FOR REAL THIS TIME GUYS REALLY THE REPLACEMENT IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!" because that's probably the one single thing he would reliably lose on.

I dunno, they'd probably sacrifice their own healthcare as long as they got to have a sufficiently racist leader

God drat it. Every time I argue with Republicans they bring up several points I've been even heard before that are "good points", and I always hear afterwards that they're wrong. (Not American but have been here a while at this point)

Like, the first time I met one: me: "we should help each other. More vacation time. Health Care for everyone. "
Them: "George Soros voter fraud in California welfare cheats!!!"

Me: "wow that sounds bad." *Checking internet later that day: "hmmmm that's not real, and the Soros thing has anti-Semitic undertones"*

The big issues with disqualifying people from office for having ever been mentally ill are that it incentivises people not to seek treatment for their illnesses, and means that the mentally-ill (and keep in mind, this is a huge range of conditions) have no representation.

More mental illness in the population in general, and less understanding of it among those who legislate regarding it, basically.

Honestly at this point it's not even worth laughing at Daniella: she's a noncompetitive candidate who sounds like a racist muppet. Even "hey look at this rear end in a top hat" hot takes is just giving free press to a person who wouldn't even make local access otherwise.

Seriously, it’s too far gone to disarm ourselves.

On another note a guy who called me a “commie” on Facebook over health care has some organ failures and pancreatic something. Now his family is asking for meals and help and donations while he’s in the hospital. It took every ounce of self restraint I had to not be like “so now socialism is good?”

Sounds like an analogue to "the only moral abortion is my abortion"

Is it common to refer to a presidency as “reign”? I get that he sees himself as emperor but I don’t delve into political discourse to know if it’s common parlance or just projection.

The US has been on its way towards monarchy for a while now.

how are job losses, particularly in manufacturing, possible when a tax cut has been passed? :monocole:

It's a miracle we even have taxes any more, given that infinite tax cuts will produce infinite jobs and infinite revenue.
