Because of Trump, I'm all for a Constitutional amendment requiring all presidential candidates to release their tax information. *

I'm glad I have Thomas blocked, after seeing the quote from him that Matt posted. FOX News is not a legitimate news source. They're clearly part of the propoganda wing of the right-ring branch of the Republican party. They lie and misinform more than any other news organization. If there was any justice, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson would be unemployed.

(I'm not saying other news channels don't lie. I take a lot of what CNN's analysts say with a grain of salt, for instance.)

* In that scenario, if the winning candidate released false information, then both them and their VP are given the boot, since its a poison ticket. Consequences for any candidate being found to have falsified tax information should be a ban from running.

Windmill noise causes cancer

Democrats, in their love for abortions, allow the full term baby to be born, wrapped up and then killed if the parents decide they don’t want the baby.

The GOP is hypocrisy at its "finest".

Pro-death penalty while being anti-"pro-choice".

I should reread Darwin's "Oranges of the Species" in honor of the C-SPAN speech.

That "oranges" thing. A slip of the tongue--which Trump refuses to acknowledge as such, and actually REPEATS the error.

Now try it the other way around from the other perspective. No hypocrisy there right? 

 "Anti-pro choice" doesn't flow off the tongue very well. You can just say pro-life.

How about anti-choice, since "pro-life" is a complete misnomer. Those who claim to be "pro-life" seem to lose all interest once the kid is out in the world.

ITEM: I still consider that everyone is pro-choice... it's just that some have already made their choice.

ITEM: I've also given serious consideration that it's pro-birth, because as Mr. Byrne so sagely noted... once a child is born, they're no longer interesting. They don't need homes, clothing, food, jobs, schooling... they just need to be born.

ITEM: My great dread is that, upon release of the content of the Mueller report and/or the public disclosure of 45's tax returns, he will finally flip and start a war to distract us from the content. Why not? What has HE to lose? With Mexico, with Iran, or even with his lover in North Korea. A couple of sea launched nukes at NK ought to distract from those tax returns. I guess the war in Afghanistan isn't interesting enough... Trump needs to get more trouble to distract the voting public.

Last time I checked, the President can't just go and start a war without Congress' approval.

But I'm all for him trying, if it speeds up his removal from office.

Is there anything Trump does that this present Congress won't approve?

This Presidency and the GOP are becoming like the longest practical joke in history. Except, it's not funny.

The House sure won't approve it.
