    Everybody knows PDJT's tax returns are hidden under Ovomit's school records. The tax return is voluntary for persons wishing to to hold office of POTUS and also a Democratic strategy.

    DC court dismisses lawsuit seeking Trump's tax returns
    A three-judge panel on the federal court of appeals in D.C. denied a non-profit’s attempt to force the IRS to release President Trump’s tax returns.

    In an unanimous riling, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said not all records can be accessed by the public through a Freedom of Information Act request and affirmed a lower court’s decision to dismiss the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)’s lawsuit, which sought Trump’s income tax records.

    “No one can demand to inspect another’s tax records,” said Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson.

    Why, pray tell, does a ruling that permits trump to keep his tax returns secret from the public deserve a drake dancing gif in your mind? Why does that ruling make you happy?

    Those obsessed with Trump's tax returns are probably the same folks who were obsessed with obama's birth certificate.

    I pretty much agree with all of that.... I think you have to have some sort of standing to be able to get tax records, like, say, a special counsel or Congressional investigation (Wink Wink).

    P.S. I'd love to see Trump start dancing like that.... He'd either lose weight and not be such an embarrassing pile of blubber (well, he'd weigh less at least) or he'd likely develop health issues... Please arrange...

    The quintessential RW Mind on display

    Who cares if it's good for the country, as long as it brings those sweet Liberal tears.

    Lays bare the fact that this isn't about making things better, but simply to make sure your sports team wins, regardless of consequence.

    Yes, they cheer the unconstitutional ACA, that will hurt people.
    They cheer less regulation that polluts our air and water.
    They cheer the rich get a tax break, and we get nothing.
    Its a trend sliding down hill for 40 years....
    Im used to it, but it never has made any sense at all!

    Crazy how people can get so butthurt over losing an election and decide to go to war against the winning side of society.

    What's great is Trump will have to go through the judicial system before your statement has any factual meaning.

    I stand corrected. He isn't a convicted Criminal.

    Emphasis on the 'convicted'. How did he get buildings built in NY in the 90s/00s without any help or payoff to the mob. I'm still surprised that connection has never been ferreted out.

    Honestly, the fact that it has 'never' come up, makes me think that nobody will ever push for it.

    Maybe too many Dems in NY who might get caught up. I dunno. Definitely one of the more mystifying components of this whole thing.

    We in NY are doing our part one step at a time. The Trump Foundation just got shut down by our AG.

    I think you're right, it's a game of who has "what" on who.

    You and your nosey comrades who Liked your post obviously don't grasp the court's ruling - it's none of your damned business what other people make - and where the hell did it get into your heads that invading other people's privacy is "good for the country"?

    Then you wonder why people get all schadenfreudy when an appeals court tells you step the f*ck off.

    Spectacular.

    Tell ya what, proggies - it's high time you learned your boundries. People are sick and tired of you trying to live all over everyone's asses.

    Trump is the antithesis of wining.

    There was a reason Donald did not want his taxes revealed.

    In a couple of months Donald's tax returns will be public knowledge and the Special Counsel and the US House are going to publicly expose to the American people the lie that is Donald J Trump


    Donald Trump will be exposed for the cheat and con man he is.
    ....just a few short months and all will be exposed.

    Here's the reason. Normal common folk wouldn't understand because like Trump says they're “extremely complex.”
    “They’re under audit. They have been for a long time,” Trump said, claiming that the documents are “extremely complex” and that people “wouldn't understand” them.

    Definitely.

    Yeah, who wouldn't want to know what the guy LEADING THE FREAKING COUNTRY might have in his background that makes him unfit for the job. Every single President prior to him has done so. And for good reason.


    Yeah, I can't imagine there are any individuals in the country who might have experience with Tax Returns and figuring them out. Such a mystery. I mean, it's not like it's never been dealt with in the past in any way.....

    I 100% agree with that... I barely understand my own taxes and I do them myself...

    However, there are people, very very smart people, who WILL understand them and be able to crack that complexity. And the result will likely be detrimental to our Prez (based on his words and actions).

    Personally, unless his taxes were a problem from 2015 on (candidacy), I don't think there will be any legal implications against him. There could be large political problems (money from Russia etc), but not legal.

    Sure. I mean, it's not like that picture is dated 2005 or anything, and nobody could have seen it prior to the election........
