Crime riddled GOP

I suspect if every member on this forum was scrutinized like Cohen and Manafort a good number of them would be facing charges for falsifying their income tax filings failing to report income.


Ahhh, the old we're all bad so his Badness isn't so bad argument.

These are the kinds of arguments people with no argument or the weakest of arguments make

Nice try, but No Trumpy Bear.

The Left has been stacking the courts for decades. There was a reason for this.

Like the Supreme Court? Like the vast majority of districts are gerrymandered for the right? Like AM radio is dominated by right-wing hatemongers of the left?

Need some cheese with your whine?
 
So youre accusing most of the members of this forum as being tax evaders? Wow.

No I said a good number not most.

For example of a way people evade taxes, say you picked up a bicycle at a yard sale for $20 and then turned around and sold it on ebay for $50 by law you are suppose to claim the $30 profit as an investment sale. Or say 20 years ago you purchased a vintage item for $50 dollars then years later sold it for $150 because it had increased in value, by law you are suppose to claim the $100 profit as an investment sale. Even a gift you received purchased for a given amount and you turn around and sell it for more than what the gift was purchased by law you are suppose to list the profit.
 
Another bile riddled regressive.

Tsk,tsk... not surprised.

Though it's good to see that you couldn't actually challenge my assertion in the first place.

Oh, Oborosen, you are too easy. Rebutting you is like taking candy away from a baby

But, since you have baited me, I'll bite. But don't cry if you bleed.
It is rather obvious they don't learn, because this is what got Trump in office the last time.

1. Repubs elect Hoover
2. America Crashes
3. Repubs elect Bush
4. America Crashes
5. Repubs elect Nixon
6. Indictments ensue
7. Repubs elect Reagan
8. Indictments ensue
9. Repubs Elect Trump
10.. Indictments ensue.

What was that about never learning?

So these are equivalent to hiding tens of millions of dollars in many foreign bank accounts Etc? These are equivalent to instructing your lawyer to collude with you in the commission of federal crimes?

Yes I financed my daughter's lemonade stand and we didn't report the $29.50 in profits. Call your local newspaper and blow the whistle.

What a band of criminals all of us are.

Yeah, almost everyone here has an illegal foreign bank account and tells our accountants to lie for us. :roll:


Do you think before posting? Serious question.

But they BOTH do it. :roll:

Getting tired of hearing that excuse as if 1 = 100.
 
They don't have a game plan. It's mostly just brow beating people to follow suit and screaming at their peon form their ivory towers.

It is rather obvious they don't learn, because this is what got Trump in office the last time.

LOL! Given the totality of events since Twump took office, all they have to do is run on an anti-corruption platform (Hello, Bobby Kennedy) and it shoudl be slam dunk.

That's nothing I'd expect any GOP sycophant to understand, tho'.

I would not be facing charges.

Speak for yourself, please. Would you be facing charges?
 
If you are looking to further a particular political agenda, I'm sure you do.
I'm a democrat, I'm certainly not interested in furthering the agenda of the opposition. That being said, I stand by the comment to standon it's own, without partisan influence, because, indeed, WH admin governs our nation, the party itself does not. But, it would be more accurate, however, to say that you say that because you are trying to further a particular agenda in your effort to diminish the importance of that fact.
Admitting one side is as screwed up as the other requires a bit of courage and fortitude;
If it were true, yes. But, I disagree, so from where I sit it's a moot point.
and, its pretty uncomfortable and often forces one to do a bit of unpleasant personal introspection...
Well, we dems do a lot of introspection. Yes, repubs did it too back when they got snubbed ion the midterms during bush. But, what repubs did when they got their big win during Obama was to gerrymander districts on an epic scale and engage in voter surpression. This is coming back to haunt them as people are gradually beginning to realize that the only way repubs can win is if they cheat.
kinda sucks to realize that we the voters have put and kept many of these idiots in office.
Kinda sucks to reallize that many dems sat out the last election and allowed Trump to win. That does suck, but of course, it kinda sucks that Repubs gerrymandered, voter suppressed, purged voters from voter registration rolls, to steal the election. They pulled a fast one on dems, for sure. But, we're all the wiser now, and things are going to change, slowly, but surely. Obama & Holder are working hard to reverse gerrymandering, dems have flipped over 44 legislative seats since Trump took office, i.e., it's happening.
Standing on our little boxes of moral superiority and pointing fingers while screaming "See, they did it too/worse".....not going to fix things.

Ahhh, but I'm not doing that, the repubs and their sympathizers on this forum are doing that.

I'm not saying "they did it, too, and worse". No, it's simply, "they did it". Not saying we're spring chickens,
but on the pissing contest of which admins are vastly the criminal party, well, the graph spells it out very clearly.

You should give your advice to republicans, they should heed it.

* * * * * *

Btw, a small point but if one side is screaming the other did it too, how could they be standing on a box of moral superiority? There's some faulty logic construction in your sentence, just sayin'. Sharpen the pencil a bit, next time you speak.

All sources of income must be listed on Form 1040 for anyone. If you purposely fail to report income by law you are in violation of filing a false tax return. That's a fact. I mentioned above one way people evade taxes is by not listing their investment sales. There are people who scour yard sales and flea markets and estate sells with the knowledge of what is very valuable. Maybe a first edition of an old book, a painting, or a vintage item the seller has no knowledge of its worth and is selling it for a couple of bucks. Then this person knowing he bought something of value will sell it for a significant profit. By law he is required to list his profit as an investment sale. If he doesn't he is guilty of the same thing Manafort was convicted of. Five of the 8 counts Manafort was found guilty on was due to filing false tax returns. Maybe not on the same scale as Manafort but if caught faces charges none the less.
 
I suspect if every lawyer, politician or lobbyist were scrutinized like Cohen and Manafort, a majority would be going to jail.

What's the practical point of your post, exactly?

Did you anybody see Hatch this morning. Either he is frustrated to find that Trump is a crook or he is unhappy that the rest of the country is finding out what he already knew. The GOP knew what it was getting into this scumbag.

Give it up.

What'bout Hillary is no longer working. Now it's "Whatabout LAWYERS!"

Or, like Vesp, "Whatabout Everyone Else!"
 
All this is to make a connection to Trump. Too bad it's not working.

Fortunately, I didn't actually expect a coherent response to my question, and you didn't disappoint.

My point was that Mueller/prosecutors went out of their way to charge these people with something...anything in order to get them to squeal on Trump. It's not happening.

If you don't like my answers then stop asking me questions.

So you think permanent Leftist rule by the Dumbassacrat party would solve all this, Communist?

Ignoring the fact that you completely switched argument mid-stream in order to avoid explaining your first one (as you always do), Cohen squealed on Trump yesterday.

Now change your argument again in order to avoid responding to that point.

Incompetent response, try again.

Your question has:

1. An assumed premise.
2. Ad hominems
3. False characterization
Correct these defects and I'll be happy to answer any question posed to me, thank you.

There ya' go. Blame individual shortcomings on "the system".

STFU and answer the damned question! Do you, as a Communist, want the Conservative voice in America killed off so your sick Leftist ideology can rule the masses?

Why should anyone respond to your PATHETIC Bifftarian attempt at a troll post?

How long have you been a fascist and a troll?

See, two can play the ask-a-disingenuous-question-with-an-assumed-premise game.

Now, pay close attention, go back to the comment you just replied to, and follow the instructions.

Or, be gone, troll.
