We know Trump is a rapist, a racist, a fraud, an idiot and greedy despicable person. If that isn't enough to flip you what will. Time to attack shitty Repub policies like the healthcare shit which is by far the most effective talking point, Trump himself can't get worseHis supporters will never care, no. You need everyone else to win elections.
I know it's important to dunk on the president to score political points but maybe the House should look into all the voter suppression that happened, especially in Georgia.
The only thing Trump cared about was him not being able to be impeached, which would require the Senate. I guess we'll see what Muller has in store, though if it was completely damning (not that it won't be damning, but I'm talking caught red handed committing treason sort of damning) I would think it would have come before the midterms. Still, we'll see what happens.
Why not both. But you are right. There needs to be a solid investigation into voter suppression.
This. I want it to be much more but this is my realistic expectation. The guy has shown he's willing to stoop to any action or level to preserve his "I'm so rich" imageI honestly doubt there will be anything illegal in the tax returns. Expectations should be tempered. Trump was likely more guarding of them because they'll show he's not as rich as he presents himself to be.
Wouldn't the IRS have copies, at least of the most recent ones?
If there was something illegal going on there I'm guessing the IRS would have seen it right? I'm guessing all this will lead to is Trump bragging about taking advantage of loopholes. Hope I'm wrong.
Sorry to break it to you, but now one will care even it is revealed Trump pays no tax.. look at the Maddow fiasco. Democrats should attack his corruption, racism and disgusting policies. This is a dead end.
I still don't think people will care. I mean theres no harm to the democrats pursuing this path but I don't think it'll mean anything[/QUOTE]He's impeached by the House (but not the Senate), and Mueller's report is released anyway.
Tax evasion is one of the absolute hardest crimes to get away with. The IRS does not care who you are. It's not a coincidence that so many high powered mobsters were nailed via tax crimes.
There's no one in the House that's anywhere near the showman Trump is, so if the goal is to try to out clown him with symbolic investigations it's not going to work.Trump cares. Otherwise he'd release them. And getting under that fucker's thin orange skin is enough for me.
Healthcare is stronger case than literally any of these. Although man that list is depressing, Trump really is somethinglet's go! So much work to do:

The investigations do not have to be symbolic. His admin is openly corrupt as fuck, there are dozens of events and people to investigate.There's no one in the House that's anywhere near the showman Trump is, so if the goal is to try to out clown him with symbolic investigations it's not going to work.
They should grab the tax returns of course, but less showy about it and not as their first action (basically the only two things I've heard the Dem House wants to do are bipartisanship and tax returns, bleh).
YupMaybe also introduce legislation that makes it mandatory for presidential cantidates to release their tax returns.
Sure, I completely agree. But this tax return one would largely be symbolic since it predates his admin. The tax returns issue has largely already been litigated aka voters in 2016 said they didn't care.The investigations do not have to be symbolic. His admin is openly corrupt as fuck, there are dozens of events and people to investigate.
Hell yeah, we need it. Investigate everything.Do we need this?
I mean at this point I feel like protecting the Mueller investigation is THE most important thing they can do
Let Trump continue to hang himself
Hey dumbass, if it's a potential "nothing burger", why has he spent the last two years hiding it?
He's hiding something big, even if it's something like "he's not an actual billionaire". That alone will damage his ego and hurt some of his base (who believe in him because of the image that he's a billionaire)
Because he's not worth as much as he says he is? I mean who gives a shit.
