President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[Uncle Ted]

Sorry, should have said state and local taxes. Most of what I pay is property taxes to local municipal use and schools. I pay state sales tax which is also part of the $10k limitation.

Yeah, with the $10K limit I don't have to keep track of my sales tax records... Thanks Drumpf!

[Walter Sobchak]

I tried to pay my taxes but the government wouldn't take my money!

:bsflag:

I know for a fact you file your taxes non-electronically.

Maybe Trump can explain why helping Saudi Arabia bomb civilians in Yemen is better than hanging out in Syria.

This video is hilarious. If FoxNOISE! covered Trump the same way they did Obama:

By the way, I didn't think Obama was a a good president.

But Trump does everything Obama was criticized here on Fox for doing, only with more flair.

Happy Exoneration Day!

So are you saying it is the flair to which you repeatedly object?

[Commando]

Sounds like Trump's got Trump Derangement Syndrome

No, my complaint here is with Fox. Everything they said about Obama was correct to criticize, although in some things like his golfing I don't think it was that big of a deal. The problem is that Trump does every single one of those same things, in most cases way more egregiously, and Fox has no problem with it. That's dishonest spin from an organization that purports to be fair and balanced. Or have they stopped saying that? And yes, I don't watch them.

This is vindication?

This is vindication?

Of course it isn't. The AG has been exposed as a personal spin machine for Trump. The head of the DOJ has no respect for the independence of his department or role, which is troubling.

Who claimed it was vindication?

I would be surprised if any reasonable person, on either side of the aisle, thought that the report might conclude that Trump is a good and honorable person of great integrity. He is exactly what he has always seemed to anyone that pays any attention to him: A small time grifter who started with a nice stake from daddy but who is always working the edges for his benefit, bragging to excess about minor or non-existent victories and is a narcissist's narcissist.

But despite the fervent and fevered wishes of the democrats, the investigation was never about whether Trump is a selfish lout. We all know that. The investigation, to Mueller's credit, focused on whether proveable crimes were committed. And apparently there were none, even if that is only true in some instances because the adults in the room saved Trump from himself.

Mueller didn't claim it. Neither did Barr. Did any reasonable person claim so? (I don't pay much attention to what Trump says about the investigation, tbh) This is a serious question.

Here's a clue: no reasonable person is claiming it. But a hell of a lot of people are, from Trump on down some of the republican ranks.
