Trump goes all in and calls the democrats bluff. The legal issue will be... are staple boys subpoenas legal since they don't directly deal with a direct crime or investigation? This entire issue has SCOTUS written all over it. What exactly does staple boy want to look at? He has to make a logical argument Trump did something wrong. Wanting to look at trumps tax returns because he THINKS there is something there... we all know the same thing. Trump will never hand them over and the democrats have a really poor case to bring to the SCOTUS.

This is the unfortunate reality we are in now. For decades, presidents and candidates have released their tax returns. The last time we had a business outsider in the presidency, R's and others made him sell his peanut farm to avoid even an iota of a conflict of interest. Carter had his issues as president, but he's been one of the finest citizens after his presidency among any of his peers. Now we have foreigners staying in our President's hotels to curry favor. Has Trump done anything close to selling a peanut farm to bring the country together in any way?

There's no incentive for Trump to release his taxes or any other info. He's not trying to be bipartisan or unite the country. He's not reaching across the aisle in any way. He's riding his base hard and putting them away wet. He's dismantling our democratic norms one tradition at a time. He's consolidating power because he can, as one half the country doesn't care and the other half doesn't have much power in the way to stop him.

My question, C&S, is, what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot and Hillary was doing the same? Would you hold your government accountable?

History has a way of laughing at people when they say their country is sliding into dangerous territory politically before things go south in a very bad way...

I was questioning whether the USA had peaked a few years ago. I noted it's a young country and who knows what we will become. Old Laxpower clowns thought it was crazy talk. Empires rise and fall. Always have and always will. Just common sense. Not sure where we are but we are not where we where 25 years ago.

Seems to me that we may well be in an inflection point. It's a choice, not inevitable.

"President Trump on Sunday blamed the result of the Kentucky Derby on “political correctness,” arguing that the horse that crossed the wire first should not have been disqualified.

“The Kentuky Derby decision was not a good one,” Trump said in a tweet, misspelling the word “Kentucky.” “It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby - not even close!”"

We are teaching a nation that following the rules, and spelling, dosen't matter. How soon until a deplorable makes threats against the 'kentuky" derby?

I wonder if it occurs to him that the 'best' horse didn't win in 2016 either?
The rules gave it to the 'horse's ass' instead.

The Constitution was designed to prevent the kind of autocratic behavior that the Dumpster is now completely insisting on and that point needs to be made patently clear to the American people by the institutions the document set up to do so.

Maybe we can trade Trump’s tax returns for the names of the members of Congress that settled all of the employee complaints, most likely sexual harassment.

With our tax dollars BTW.
