Tax returns tell much more of a story than a birth certificate. The only difference between a US citizen living in the US since lets say 6 month old and one born on US soil is legal. You also don´t chose where you are born or by whom, but you almost certainly decide what you do to get money.

Better take control of congress, incapacitate him (limit the Presidents use of the military to counter overt attacks and such), keep the investigation going, get an arrest warrant and carry it out the moment he leaves the White House. Curtailing Trump will fare much better in the court of public opinion than doing so to President Pence. Don´t want Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada in charge of the US nuclear arsenal either.

It does not matter. It is about winning an Trump won the election. One right fringe vote counts as much as any other.

Under American law

THIS
IS
ILLEGAL

And, one other point:

OBAMA
NEVER
DID
IT

That’s not evidence that Trump Sr. colluded with Russia. The article is about somebody else and the evidence in the article is that Trump didn’t even know about the meeting.


Did you not read his tweet where he admitted he knew and encouraged the law to be broken?

https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/trump-a ... -1.6342816

From his tweet

This was a meeting to get information on an opponent,

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, smells like a duck, flies like a duck, it must be a trout according to your logic.

He broke the law. Impeach. Now. LOCK HIM UP

You left out the part where he says that he did not know about the meeting. By your standard, that is evidence that Trump did not collude.

The Constitution does not require that candidates tell stories. It does require that they are natural born citizens.

Uh... okay. Nobody said that.

What was said is that a birth certificate is the best evidence that a candidate meets the Constitutionaly mandated qualification.

if it was evidence, let along the best evidence, the birther movement would have been dead the moment Obama made his long form certificate public.

So you are going to let the birthers dictate what documents are proper? Uh... okay. I guess we differ in that regard. You can empower them if you choose, I suppose.

If VTK's standard of taking a proven liar at his word (i.e., that he didn't know about the meeting . . . what a crock of sh*t) constitutes evidence, well then I guess we can accept the following as well.

DONALD TRUMP KNEW ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON EMAILS BEFORE WIKILEAKS RELEASED THEM, OMAROSA SAYS

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-knew-cli ... sa-1072713

The can be added to the body of evidence that includes:

-The June 2016 Trump Tower meeting attended by Junior, Manafort, and Kushner under the pretense of obtaining "dirt" (only an absolute partisan would think there's zero chance Trumpy Bear didn't know, certainly not a "moderate")

-The Trumpy Bear statement two days before the Trump Tower meeting that he was going to give a "major speech" discussing "all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons"

-The "Russia if you're listening" and "I love WikiLeaks" comments

Along with oodles and oodles and oodles of other "coinkydinks." No doubt Mueller has tons more.

Trump has already moved on to the "So what?" defense. Surprised one of his more shameless apologists hasn't gotten his bat signal yet.

You are arguing about the weight the evidence should be given - not whether it is evidence in and of itself. Big difference.

Wait, I think this constitutes progress in VTK's world . . .

he agrees that there is evidence that Trump colluded.

We're getting there!

(Get ready for a "That's not what I said!" mental contortion :hissyfit:)

I don't think you would do very well on the witness stand, VTK.

YOU made the claim that the Birthers didn't get as much media attention. YOU made argument that it must not have been as big a deal because the media YOU pay attention to ignored it. If that's YOUR argument, then asking about YOUR media intake is just the same as asking for a source.

Yes, I know, that is why I said "at the very minimum" because there is really no way to say that a tax return isn't actually a better information source of the quality of a candidate than a birth certificate.

Please define "natural born citizen".

And just as laws need to be passed to require a birth certificate, laws could also be similarly passed requiring the release of tax returns to run for president. And since one is a constitutional element and the other provides additional important information, one should be able to support both of they support one.

But again, you still need to define precisely what a "natural born citizen" is and have everyone agree to it.

I'd be fine with a law requiring the release of tax returns. Call your congressman and get it rolling. As it is, that is currently not US law.

The main problem I have with tax returns is that the vast majority of the american public has no clue what the numbers on a tax return even mean. Trump's tax returns are likely so complicated that it would be a media circus of sensationalist tweets about this number or that number.

Like when the one tax return was released showing massive losses one year. Media blew up "he's a terrible businessman! look at all those losses!"

To be quite honest I'm surprised his returns never got leaked. 40 thousand plus employees at the IRS and not a single one of them leaked it. That's pretty impressive!

Personally, I'd like to see them just because I'm curious, but I don't really care either way.

Surely you would care if his tax returns showed that he was massively indebted to state controlled Russian banks, right? That would matter.

To a lesser degree, after all his attacks on the Clinton Foundation, I'd be curious to see what his charitable giving looks like. Also, he's bragged about using the system to his advantage, so I'd bet that he has paid very little in tax over the years, and that never plays well to the middle class taxpayer that doesn't have access to those kinds of deductions or accounting gymnastics.

Finally, I bet he's not nearly as rich as he claims to be. His whole image was built around how successful he is. If it turns out he (like Manafort) was facing dire economic times or barely treading water, it might tarnish that image.

Exactly. And the same goes for a birth certificate being provided. There is no law requiring it. There is just the requirement in the Constitution that the person be "natural born". So pass the laws, define the requirement, which for the birth certificate must also then pass constitutional muster (which likely means a fairly broad official legal requirement due to the nebulousness of "natural born").

The birther movement was always a fringe movement. Those calling for Trump's impeachment are much more mainstream within their party than the birthers were. I certainly don't recall any sitting members of Congress being strong advocates for the birther movement (although I may be mistaken), as compared to the members of Congress that openly call for impeachment.
What? You know who was big into the birther movement, right? If not, I will give you a hint. He is currently the President of the United States.

It looks like someone else had a habit of giving Omarosa several jobs within the White House despite quickly learning that she was (allegedly) a horrible employee. That would be the Clinton administration.

"But.... But.... Clinton!"

If anything, this is even more damaging to Trump. She already had a terrible employment history as a junior staffer at the White House.

Why was Omarosa in the Situation Room? Why was she being paid $15,000 a month? What was her exact job? If "both sides do it" (the new right wing mantra) then where are secret recordings of Obama meeting with Russia to get dirt on Romney and secret recordings of Obama using slurs and horrible language about others? We can not say Hillary because, even though a majority of Americans wanted her in the White House, she is not.

Both sides do it, so prove it, righties. We have proven how the orange one who shall not be named is a misogynist, liar, cheater, fraud, colluded with Russia, hates minorities, etc.

And that's another thing: for eight years, all we heard was how secretive Obama was. How he expanded the government and massive government over reach (started by the previous administration) and how there was so much secrecy for eight years. Now, all of that IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING and we hear crickets from those same people. Why?

Think of a map of a city, it really doesn't give you "substantive information" about the city itself but it helps you get around and know where to go and look and find what you need.

No, just payments to and from and interest statements. And honestly, there's likely shell companies and other entities in the way for dealing with various regional transactions. So you'd likely just see that on a Trump return anyways.

As I said earlier, a return is very nuanced and complicated and can be dangerously interpreted by someone who has no idea what they are looking at. Especially one as long as Trump's would be.

Anyways, sorry to derail.

Ahh...the good ol' "But Clinton..." excuse.

Also, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Mr. Dennison knows her history, and yet, still hires her. I guess it works nice for both parties (both are attention grabbers aka the "look at me" type) until things blow up in their face.

It looks like someone else had a habit of giving Omarosa several jobs within the White House despite quickly learning that she was (allegedly) a horrible employee. That would be the Clinton administration.

Ahh...the good ol' "But Clinton..." excuse.

I am missing the part where this was offered as any sort of an excuse. Hang on... let me go back and check... Okay, I'm back. No such comment was made.


excuse, deflection, diversion, misdirection. Its all the same 'run home to Clinton' instinct from those defending Trump.

The hilarious thing is that deflecting back to Omarosa's poor WH work history just makes Trump look like an even bigger idiot for hiring her.

Well Trump acted, Obama did not. So again there is no proof for your theory.

A reality tv star buffoon hiring a reality tv star moron and the terrible consequences of such should be confined to reality tv. Alas, here they are displayed at the very pinnacle of our government. Another 15 months and then we can vote this bloated orange clown out of office and pretend like hell it never happened. At my age it’s the only thing that makes me look forward to the passgae of time.

You're joking, right?

A) She worked for Gore in the Clinton administration. Nothing to do with Obama

B) She was a junior staffer. I doubt presidents make hiring firing decisions at the junior staffer level for the VP.

C) Whoever was making decision did fire her. She got kicked out of 3 departments and then WAS asked to leave.

So you agree that Trump was the person who finally removed the unqualified person.

Honestly, at this point I'm pretty sure the Omarossa story is just a shell game to distract everyone from something else. No one seems to be talking about mueller or Manafort right now. Despite closing arguments happening as I type this.

Probably something like Trump declaring we will no longer utilize our own means of transport to the ISS and rely solely on Russian Soyuz transportation. Oh wait. (but seriously imagine if he had declared the shutting down of the shuttle program and relying on Russians instead. Oh the hysteria :rotfl:)

I disapprove of President Trump calling Omarosa a dog. Dogs are loveable, loyal creatures. Omarosa is a disloyal piece of shit.

That's because even the dumbest media types have realized that the Manafort trial is not even remotely about Trump or the invented specter of Russia collusion. It's about unrelated financial fraud crimes that are boring and of little relevance to the general public. Those crimes were never covered by Mueller's mandate and should have been conducted by the normal FBI.

Oh they covered it quite extensively. Up until the point they realized there wasn't much to use from the proceedings in their narrative against Trump. It's better for them to quietly bury the Manafort story in the off-chance that the Jury comes back hung or produces an acquittal.

Even Michael Cohen, who has no love for Trump and no problem speaking out against him, has said that Omarosa has lied.

Some of Trump's most intense critics in the media have also shot down Omarosa's credibility, including CNN's April Ryan, Ana Navarro, and Brian Stelter.

The left insisting that Omarosa is credible will be the biggest gift the Republicans ever had.


your comments ABOUT her credibility is why she recorded Trump. DUH

Eh, I'm playing both sides here. Omarossa presented a decent story for MSM to play to make Trump look bad. Trump could be using the story to distract from something else too. Who knows.

It'll all go away in a day or so. Certainly by Friday.

Really? How come all the judges that have looked into this case think otherwise. Are you privy to some information they don't have?
