If Trump's tax returns are being audited, they should stay sequestered If his tax returns are no longer being audited, then they've passed muster and there is nothing there to see anyway.
That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome gets you, SECOND: It leads to deranged thinking.
I dunno why you've got a "Trump bee" in your bonnet, but you should let it go. It's not healthy. And I know you're all about self restraint and being healthy, so maybe pay attention to your mental health and excessive vindictiveness.

Aside from the fact that there is no law anywhere that states a Presidental Candidate needs to publish their taxes for the world to see, the facct that Gen Z voters came out in numbers that weren't seen in 30 years and swung so heavily in favor of Democrats because of lies from both the Republican Party (Lindsey Graham lying about unconstitutionally banning abortion on a federal level) and the Democrat Party (Joe Biden* claiming he will give them all $10,000 unconstitutional freebies) is exactly why Trump didn't ever release his taxes to the public.
The public is fucking dumb. Unlike Obama's 2 page 1040, Trumps taxes would have been hundreds or even thousands of pages that nobody but the best tax attorneys would be able to make heads or tails of, and only if they took a lot of time out of their lives to pour over them and get the entire context.
Why would he ever release them when everybody knows that Rachel Maddow and friends would have just cherry-picked one or two pages here and there and presented them without any context to imply that Trump was a tax cheat when the IRS still after 6+ years has not accused Trump of any wrong doing?
This is a non issue today, just as it's always been a non issue from the beginning.
Second will go on and on about it for another 6 years now because there is no possible way that anybody would ever convince him that Trump isn't a tax cheat. The only person who could do that would be Second, and only if he actually had all of Trump's tax returns on his person and devoted years of what's left of his old age to sort through and understand all of them with complete context and a whole lot of tax law education that he doesn't currently have under his belt.

Quote:In Russia, Putin doesn't pay his taxes so why should Trump pay his? Certainly Nixon's tax cheating (and being forced by Congress to pay or else be impeached) is no reason to expect Trump to voluntarily keep his numerous promises to publicize his own tax returns and proving he did not cheat.

The midterm elections in the United States were a hot topic in Moscow. Convinced that the “red wave” was coming, Russian propagandists rushed to take credit for the anticipated landslide victory that would ensure Republican majority in Congress and Senate.
On Tuesday, Russia’s top propagandist, Vladimir Solovyov, greeted his audience by wishing them a “Happy Interference in the U.S. Election Day.” Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as “Putin's chef,” who was indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, likewise decided to publicly fess up to the allegations he previously denied.
This plan to discredit the U.S. elections and convince the Republicans that the mighty Kremlin hand covertly helped push them to victory backfired. On Wednesday, state TV propagandists were scratching their heads about the wave that turned out to be but a trickle. During the broadcast of 60 Minutes, host Olga Skabeeva asked an expert: “How are our guys in America?” Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov clarified with a chuckle: “Our Republicans.”
Co-host of 60 Minutes Evgeny Popov surmised: “Republican triumph or the tsunami did not materialize... Trump is already calling on Americans to protest ballot stuffing and not allowing his opponents to disrupt the elections.”
Russian state TV coverage focused on baseless allegations of various issues supposedly plaguing U.S. elections, featuring the footage of Kari Lake, candidate for governor of Arizona, and former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, complaining that the polling stations were “running out of paper” and experiencing various mishaps.
Skabeeva exclaimed: “Come out in the streets, Americans! You are being lied to!” Abzalov pointed out that at least January should be “fun,” predicting that Republicans would attempt to impeach U.S. President Joe Biden. Skabeeva complained: “They will impeach but won’t be able to overthrow him. We’ve seen how it went down with our friend, our comrade Donald — and it happened more than once.”
Skabeeva went on: “We keep worrying about our guys, their results should have been better than this... Apparently, there will be no landslide victory for Republicans in Congress... Still, Donald Trump is planning to celebrate—it isn’t exactly clear what is there to celebrate.”
Political editor Maxim Yusin concurred: “Republicans performed much worse than everyone had predicted yesterday... This is because of the Trump factor, this is clearly his fault. He butted into this electoral campaign too overtly and with his odious nature, pushed away those who were on the fence.”

The problem in the Republican party is that they ran on the wrong agenda.
One of the problems with Republican candidates, whether they were the Trump wing or not, was that AFA foreign policy what I heard was ... *crickets*.
I can only conclude that they're either pro-war or lack spine. The thing that made Trump different from all of the other Republican candidates (at the national level) is that he is highly aware of the UNITED STATES. OUR security, OUR interests. He didn't conflate them with Ukraine, or "global" anything. AFA I'm concerned, there is no foreign policy difference between the GOP and the DNC. (And no reason for Russian leadership to hope for one party over another.)
Crime and inflation were winning issues. Abortion not so much. But what about border security? Foreign policy? Reindustrialization? The GOP let the narrative be dictated by globalists in both parties.
The GOP will probably focus on "China the enemy", and create more chaos, expense and blowback for us, in a different part of the world. They're running on a platform of fear not hope.
Any idea where Desantis stands on foreign policy? People see him as "Trump without the baggage" but, as President, his JOB is foreign policy. I would not vote for a pig in a poke.

Quote:Republican Pat Toomey is retiring from his Pennsylvania Senate seat at the end of the term. But before he goes, he is speaking some hard truths to his party.
Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK:
This isn't Trump's fault.
Asked Thursday by CNN’s Erin Burnett about how Republicans lost the contest to replace him, Toomey was blunt that “President Trump inserting himself into the race … was never going to be helpful.”
Trump had endorsed Mehmet Oz in the primary and rallied with him the final weekend before the general election.
Noted Toomey: “We were in a moment, we were in a cycle, we were at a time when it’s good for Republicans for the race to be about President Biden, who is not popular, whose policies have failed. And instead, President Trump had to insert himself and that changed the nature of the race.”
Toomey wasn’t done. He added that: “All over the country, there’s a very high correlation between MAGA candidates and big losses, or at least dramatically underperforming.”
Which isn’t wrong! In Toomey’s home state, aside from Oz’s 4-point loss to Democrat John Fetterman, Trump-backed Doug Mastriano lost the governor’s race by 15 points, a landslide in a state as closely divided as Pennsylvania.
In battleground Michigan, Trump-endorsed Tudor Dixon lost by 11 points to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a defeat that led to a blue wave down-ballot in the state. In Illinois, the Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate lost by 10. In the Maryland governor’s race, the Trump-backed candidate lost by 25.
On the Senate side, Blake Masters, the Trump-picked candidate in Arizona, trails Sen. Mark Kelly in a race that is still too close to call. Herschel Walker, another high-profile candidate backed by Trump, finds himself headed for a runoff in Georgia on December 6 against Sen. Raphael Warnock. And even in places where the Trump-supported candidate won – like Ohio – it took a massive outlay of cash from national Republicans (roughly $30 million) to drag J.D. Vance across the finish line.
Trump, for his part, is entirely unwilling to consider that he was – and is – anything but an unalloyed good for his party, declaring a “Big Victory” on his Truth Social website Friday.
There is, without question, a portion of the Republican Party that believes that – and will follow Trump wherever he leads them (even if it’s to electoral destruction).
But as Toomey’s comments make clear, there is also a group of Republicans who view this as a now-or-never moment with Trump and the party. Either they use what happened in the midterms to push him to the side, or he remains a dominant figure and they just keep losing elections.
The Point: Toomey can’t be congratulated too strongly for his bravery in speaking out against Trump, given that he has one foot already out the door. But his voice is part of a growing chorus of Republicans suggesting that Tuesday’s election was the final straw for Trump. Will base voters listen?

Yup. Except that's all lies.
If the Democrats were afraid of losing to DeSantis, or if DeSantis would be a better Republican candidate than Trump is, or they had any fear that they wouldn't be able to control him once he was in office, then they'd be doing the same thing that they did in the weeks leading up to the mid-term elections, which is spend their own campaign money propping up people they thought they would win against, meaning they'd be backing Trump right now instead of DeSantis.
All anybody needs to know right now is that CNN, MSNBC, Vox, The Atlantic and a bunch of other Lying Leftist sites along with a bunch of Democrat politicians are stumping for DeSantis right now. Which is funny, because DeSantis himself has publicly come out and said that he has no desire to run for US President in 2024.
All DeSantis needs to do is not say anything that doesn't directly impact Florida and Floridians for the next two years. He'll be your President this decade, but not until after Trump has his second term.
