Nobody cares.
SECOND: You are a Nobody.
Yes.
He's certainly on tilt. I can only imagine what real-world issues are plaguing him right now.
Did you see his latest assassination fantasy this morning?
I hope his parents see whatever he's going through and get him help before he goes Highland Park on anyone.

SECOND... TRUMP! blah blah blah .... Trump blah blah blah...
Signym said there is no law requiring Trump to prove he hasn't cheated on his income taxes.
WRONG. Citizens have to submit their information TO THE IRS. TRUMP has to submit his info TO THE IRS.
He's done that. There is no law requiring that Trump show US his tax info. The only people who need to see his tax info ALREADY HAVE IT and that is THE IRS.
Quote:WRONG.
SEOND: Until there is "proof" (a word Signym uses far too often)...
I don't use the word "proof" I use the word EVIDENCE. AFA evidence of tax cheaing, if there is EVIDENCE then the IRS already has it.
Quote:
SECOND: there is no "logical" (another word Signym uses too often) to condemn Trump ...
WRONG.
I don't use the word "logical".
There is no REASON to condemn Trump.
Why??
Because it's in our Constitution: Yanno, something about "innocent until proven guilty"
You really hate the USA and our Constitution, don't you?
Quote:
SECOND: Using much the same thinking, neither 6ix nor Signym are concerned about Russians murdering Ukrainians
Another bad assumption on your part.
Your post goes on to make a whole raft of bad assumptions and faulty thinking
Quote:No evidence, you mean. Just like TRUMP!RUSSIA!COLLUSION! and IRAQWMD! and ASSADGASSING! and QADDAFIMASSACRING! and QUIDPROQUO! there are just accusations being spouted by people who have been proven to have lied in the past.
SECOND: ...destroying Ukrainian real estate because there is no "proof" that Russians will go on to nuke the world if NATO interferes with the murdering done by Russians nor "proof" that "logically" Russians are committing war crimes.
I don't take what liars say very seriously.
Do you?
Well, of course you do.
Quote:If only you would recognize this truth.
SECOND: It is all hearsay and lies from biased mainstream media,
ALL MEDIA LIES. Ours, theirs, somebody else's. Some lie worse than others. OURS publish giant, juicy whoppers.
Sussing out truth should be part of your responsibility as an educated citizen of the USA.
(PS, There is no such thing as "citizen of the world". Did you ever vote for a worldwide office or carry a world passport? The whole concept is a crock.)

Quote:You have truly revealed that you don't care that Trump didn't pay his taxes. The IRS has revealed that $1 trillion in taxes aren't collected from the wealthy each year. That's Trump. Other rich people's tax returns are published, revealing that they paid $billions while Trump paid $750. Apparently, Trumptards are convinced by Trump's empty claims he paid. He could prove it with one phone call to his tax accountants, but Trump won't make the call.

What is connection to Putin? Trumptards are satisfied with Putin's claims he is not killing children despite the proof he does kill children.
Signym -- Accept Putin's word as you accept Trump's word. Why would either tell a lie and sully their sterling reputations? Sorry, I forgot that both have told thousands of major lies including Putin claiming he paid his taxes despite a net worth in the billions of euros, dollars, rubles, whatever. https://www.google.com/search?q=putin+net+worth

SECOND, your bullshit is boring.
Many wealthy people do not pay taxes bc the IRS can't afford to scrutinize every wealthy person's extremely complex tax returns with all of their shell corporations and foundations and tax loopholes.
TRUMP IS A SPECIAL CASE. Bc of his highly visible political position, HIS tax returns get special attention. He is being audited by the IRS. At some point, they wi reach a determination.
If you believe that Trump will get special favors from the IRS.... well, that's the IRS' fault. Not Trump's.

Who did the breakdown? You mean Putin's puppet was elected? The guy Paul Manafort - Trump's early campaign manager - worked for? And we're suppose to believe that wasn't a stolen election? Funny.

Inside the Tax Records of the .001%
https://www.propublica.org/series/the-secret-irs-files
ProPublica does not have Trump's income tax returns because Trump learned from infamous Roy Cohn, who never paid taxes and was Joe McCarthy's lawyer. McCarthy is infamous for McCarthyism. By the way, Signym, the IRS could put a thousand auditors on Trump's income tax returns but his income is whatever he says it is and the auditors won't be able to prove differently. In the case of real estate taxes, not income taxes, the government tells Trump what his taxes are and Trump is in no position to prove differently.
Back to Russia/Ukraine and The Upside of Putin’s Delusions
His failed and spectacularly counterproductive war seems unlikely to augur a new era of interstate war.
Some analysts now fear that the long decline of interstate war may be about to reverse. In an article for The Economist published shortly before the Russian invasion, the Israeli writer Yuval Noah Harari declared the decline in international war to be “the greatest political and moral achievement of modern civilization.” But he also worried that a war in Ukraine could bring about “a return to the law of the jungle.” In an essay published in May in Foreign Affairs, the political scientist Tanisha Fazal expressed concern that Putin’s war could result in “an increase in not only the incidence but also the brutality of war.”
But five months into the current phase of the war in Ukraine, it seems more likely that Putin’s venture will reinforce and revitalize the aversion to and disdain for international war. The key objective is not so much about winning as making sure that the country that started the war is far worse off than if it had not done so. That has already been substantially achieved.
