    He has made photoshop obsolete - unless his handlers decide to distort his appearance to fake normality.

    Who is "we"?

    If "we" already know something, why is information needed?

    To convince the people who can't or will connect the dots.

    If it's known, why is any convincing needed?

    Just impeach him for the known offense(s).

    I don't recall the Republicans when they were elected into the House majority ever going down this path of demanding every financial and legal record of Obama and his staff and family just so they could see if they could find something on which to impeach him.

    But if this is the standard now when will the House start subpoenaing all the records of all the Democrat candidates, their families and their staffs?

    Obama, as did most previous presidents, made available his financial/taxation records. There was never any need to demand their release.

    Dude, Obama released that **** voluntarily and he divested himself of any business interest that he did have before entering office.

    That's the ****ing point.

    You want to demand something that has voluntarily been released for the next Democrat, you go for it.

    Would you be happy if Trump released 10 years of tax returns, but only the portions relating to anything Russian?

    Anyone naive enough to imagine Trumps accountants would leave a direct paper trail between him and financial transactions with Russia is, well, naive.

    I never understood why seeing the President's tax returns became a partisan issue. Its a standard that was set a long time ago and one that every candidate offered to the American people.

    Any argument contrary is illogical.

    Look, I really don't care if he releases them at all, or if he is impeached or censured or if they just leave him alone, I just want the country to move on the many things it needs to move on. Let him answer at the polls and in debates for his actions.

    I don't think he had any financial interest to divest nor that he released 20 years of banking and financial records. Nor did his staff release them all nor were they all called before a grand jury or Congress just to see what could be found.
    Trump had filed the require financial disclosures for three years.....Dude

    He released his tax returns. He did bit release 20 years of ALL the records of ALL his financial dealings nor did his staff. Trump has filed the same financial disclosure forms as required as every high office holder his running 100 pages.
    What is it you expect to find or learn from his tax returns?

    You need to also tell the Democrats that. What kind of leaders will they be if they dominate the Government in 2020 if they are willing to ignore the peoples business in favor of pursuing a vendetta?

    There is nothing there for them to find. Trump reports his hundreds of tax forms are perhaps 4-5 feet high.

    I have confidence were there something wrong in with his tax returns the IRS would have found it by now. Mueller could find no involvements between Trump and Russia. What is it those who demand them think they will find?

    Your only problem is you make lucid, well thought out replies, and use facts when you refute.

    I would have agreed with you with two exeptions. To have a mentally unstable, immature tantrum throwing brat able to press the red button is terrifying.
    His recent declasification of vast amounts of security information has the Kremlin rubbing their hands together with glee. How Republicans can’t see Trump is acting for and on behalf of totalitarian states is astonishing. The lastest obscenity is Trump dismissing the importance of Korea testing mid-range missiles again. Why doesn’t he just sell the communists US military secrets and be done with the pretence?
    I have to say though I agree with Trumps stance on the Chinese stealing intellectual property even though he’s going the wrong way about redressing it and in doing so is very likely to trigger a planet wide economic downturn. That and the debt levels he’s making the US take on to buy his way into popularity with the military and others will leave a huge defecit for any government that has to come after him. Why should he care? He’ll have his Trump towers built in Moscow and St Petersburg by then and can retire safely behind a wall of Russian protection.

    I don't know what you mean by dismissing NK missile tests. It is no like they just started testing missles when he became president. Unlike his predecessors he at least tried to establish a dialog. A short term downturn is something I can live with if we emerge on a more equal footing with China.
