A need to know, why won't Trump disparage Putin or Russia?

Why wouldn't I? I have nothing to hide.

Call up MSNBC and have them text me the address where they need to be sent.

That's up to you. Not just your own though. We need to see everyone's that you know because you think we have a right to, that's only fair.

Of course, I have no intention of doing so because...it's really no one's business but mine and the IRS. :coffeepap:

Why would I ask for my daughter's tax return? Or my son-in-law's tax return?

I am not asking for Ivanka's or Jared's.

Just Trump's. And that's not unreasonable. Unless he has something to hide, which *chuckling* it's pretty obvious that he does.

Is Putin on Twitter?

You two gather up ALL of your income tax returns from the first filed to the last, and ask that everyone you know and all of your own family members old enough to file their taxes to do the same.

Great response </sarcasm>.

No one gives a crap what our tax returns say. Only thing I'm in charge of around here is myself and our household. But POTUS? A bit more.

Fail. Try again.

Wrong.

First there is no legal requirement for the President to reveal his income tax information.

Individual income tax returns — including those of public figures — are private information, protected by law from unauthorized disclosure. Indeed, the Internal Revenue Service is barred from releasing any taxpayer information whatsoever, except to authorized agencies and individuals. Like all other citizens, U.S. presidents enjoy this protection of their privacy.

Tax History Project -- Presidential Tax Returns

The income tax was ratified in 1913. Yet the first viable candidates for President who released any income tax returns was Jimmy Carter and he only released the return for 1975. His opponent Gerald Ford released summaries. Nixon was the first President to do so in 1973 because of a tax audit.

Since 1976 there have been several candidates who haven't, although most have.

Second, he doesn't have to show anyone anything, he has nothing to prove or disprove.

If an investigation indicates financial malfeasance (like Nixon) then it become a matter of public record.

Why would it make the kooker leftist fringe happy if DJT called Putin an a-hole to disparage him? Nothing makes the kook wing of the party of corruption happy anyway. :shrug:

I don't think the Left gives a rat's rear end what Putin does. They are addicted to hating Trump and they'll find a reason to hate him no matter what.
Trump could walk on water and they'd say he doesn't know how to swim.

It's stupid. The leftist whinges every time DJT tweets something disparaging about anyone, now we are to believe somehow, they'll jump for joy if he calls Putin a nasty name?

Flippin' dumb. Just dumb.

Slow down, Skippy. Where did I say he was legally required to do so? I didn't, because he is not.

Second, he doesn't have to show anyone anything, he has nothing to prove or disprove.

Fixed it for you. :lol:

This will happen. It's not a matter of if, but of when.

The fish rots from the head down, man. And this fish is pretty rotten. You just can't smell it yet.
