    Pretty funny reason why Trump won't release his tax records coming from his son...

    It truly seems that corruption and the status quo aren't very important to the GOP.

    The only people that really care about the tax returns are the hard core partisans and the media. The political calculus points to Trump never releasing them.

    Of course, anyone with a financial background could tell you that a tax return doesn't really tell you that much. 99% of the people demanding to see the tax returns could not intelligently review them and draw proper conclusions.


    GOOD DAY

    If a tax return doesn't really tell you that much, why not release them? Sounds like you just contradicted your own logic there buddy. That's going to knock your premium post down to a no-name brand

    Sensational news ladies, gather round! Gather round!


    This thread, a jawdropping foresight by his holiness B. Honey into the making of Trump as the 16 President, is the largest and most prolific thread in D&D history!

    We're talking decades of neckbeards with nothing to do squabbling over pointless BS, and the Daddy done came in, dropped a deuce, and made it the most epic thread to ever go down!

    Wow, the Daddy done did it again. Big ups to B Honey for putting this forum on his broad shoulders, and showing them how it's done.

    Heh heh heh.

    Excellent job, sir. You have somehow come up with an excuse for the scenario where Trump doesn't release his tax returns as well as one for the scenario where he releases them and they don't show as much income as they should for someone with his tremendous amount of wealth. You are a master in the art of exaggeration as well I would presume?

    There are literally millions of individuals with finance degrees who can translate his returns into laymen terms. WTF are you talking about?

    Ivanka Trump heavily influenced her father's child-care policy. Where is Chelsea's?

    [rQUOTEr]Ivanka Trump on Her Father's New Child Care and Maternity Leave Policy

    On Tuesday night, Donald Trump released a child care and maternity leave plan that offers new mothers six weeks of paid maternity leave, tax deductions for stay-at-home parents, and dependent care savings accounts for families. America is the only industrialized country in the world that does not offer federally mandated family leave, and Trump’s proposal is a significant shift from the traditional Republican stance against mandating paid leave. The campaign, which recently kicked off a Women Empowerment Tour, has been attempting to boost its image among women voters — 65 percent of whom have an unfavorable view of the candidate, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll from late August. At the forefront of his outreach efforts has been 34-year-old Ivanka Trump, an executive at the Trump Organization and mother of three, who talked about the importance of supporting working mothers in her RNC speech and was a major influence behind the proposal. Ivanka helped Donald Trump announce the plan on stage in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night and wrote an op-ed detailing specifics of the new policy, published in the Wall Street Journal. Cosmopolitan.com spoke with Ivanka over the phone Wednesday morning about her father’s new family leave and child care policy.

    I don't know about the medical records but at least now we know the status of Trump's hair:

    That and over 40 years of tradition of releasing your tax records. What's Trump hiding? Either Trump just further proves how unlike the common man he is or he proves he's not as wealthy as he says or he proves he donates to NAMBLA. People are talking.

    He doesn't want to release his tax return because he is not as rich as he says he is and his hubris and vanity will not permit this embarrassment.

    He is not in the "three comma club" and it kills him...

    Have you, or anyone else, noticed that lack of Chelsea's presence in this campaign? Trumps children seem to be playing a more prominent role in his campaign as we near Election Day.

    Because their idiot father can't go two days without saying something disqualifying. I think Ivanka is especially well spoken, Ivana must've raised her well.

    Why has Jimmy Fallon been helping Trump the whole time? I'm trying to understand it. Fallon seems like a funny and cool guy otherwise - why is he doing this?

    You want Chelsea to be in this equation? Trump's inclusion of his children in his campaign -- and presumably his Administration, either officially or as unofficial advisors -- is another distasteful proposition in his rather long list of distasteful propositions. His nepotism is just another way his candidacy looks like a cult of personality. He's supposed to hire the best people -- he didn't mention that the best people, in his estimation, are the ones with his DNA. I'm glad Chelsea has kept a healthy distance from her mother's campaign because I don't want to elect her to any office. She has her own gilded life to lead. Trump's kids do too, but they'd rather be hangers-on for their father's gamble on the reactionaries. It's a bit unseemly.
