I read on a cat blog that Sblombf Jr. is a Russian double agent.
Weāre not discussing the effects or Acosta.
The white house has revoked press credentials for dozens of journalists. He kicked a Univision reporter out of press conference mid question. He threatens journalists that criticize him with retribution, and silences media sources critical of him by taking access away. Heās removed a lot of data from govt climate science websites (agree or not with science not the issue).
Acostaās credibility as a journalist or the effects of Trumpās attacks on the press are not the issue here. Freedom of Speech means freedom of speech for everyone.
A basic yes or no question: Do you think itās acceptable for Trump to revoke press credentials, threaten reporters, censor media sites or remove data at his own discretion?
You canāt answer yes to that and say youāre a believer in free speech at the same time. Itās free for everyone, or itās not. Which is it?
If itās that simple and he has nothing to hide, why not release them? It would be a political victory for him and would vindicate him.

Yeah so what ?
They are trying to put a hard border in my country.
Try putting a border somewhere around Birmingham with customs posts along with possible military installations and see how you like it.

His tax returns are with his accountant and lawyers where they should be. If there was any wrongdoing the IRS would have gutted him long ago,they are very good at that and quite greedy. Ask any American, especially the ones working overseas.
On a personal note I am not affiliated with either party.
Would you like everyone looking at your personal financial records? I think not. And donāt give me heās the President as a response.
Apparently the man is a lot smarter than most people give him credit for and that is their downfall.

This is a fact. No way that he has been involved in nefarious and illegal dealings involving his taxes for three decades and the IRS hasnāt done anything.

I predict that when we finally see those tax returns, all those clamoring for them will wish they hadnāt.
Meanwhile, he uses the whole issue to show up these people for looking desperate.
This could be a bargaining chip. If he agrees conditionally to release the returns, the conditions will amount to calling the hypocrites out. He could demand various Dem tax returns. āIāll show you mine if you show me yours first.ā He could demand Bubbetteās email server. He could demand a tax cut for the Deplorables. He could demand an Odammitcare repeal. He could demand a lot of things, that, simply by making the demand, he changes the subject.
It doesnāt matter whether he can get those things. Simply by demanding them, he changes the whole game. Because if he agrees at all to release them, the whole āheās hiding somethingā narrative goes poof. By demanding something in return, he avoid looking like heās caved. By demanding the right something in return, he turns the tables.
He has a track record of turning the tables on these fools. Their narratives all go poof sooner or later.

I kept telling my friends who hated Trump this during the last campaign. He succeeded, wildly, in both real estate and entertainment and was one of the best branders of all time. It was clear to anybody who was paying attention that the ābirtherā talk was him sliding into politics and testing the waters. However, democrats have an unfortunate habit of underestimating their political opponents by characterising whoever is running as āliterally the dumbest politician weāve ever seenā¦or corruptā¦or dumb and corruptā.

I would err very much on the side of accountability. Privacy is for private citizens. Those who want their privacy should reciprocate by keeping out of everyone elseās business, and that means not being in the government.
But no double standards. If his tax returns are public, then so should be the tax returns of all elected officials whatsoever. All of them, or none of them.

I donāt believe that anybody cares about Trumpās taxes. I donāt believe that anybody really believed that Russia was involved with the Trump campaign until they had repeated it over and over and over again, thus convincing themselves it was true.
Republicans went after Bill Clinton using garbage allegations and Democrats have simply evolved to do nastier things to Trump. (Ironically, in between we had a pair of presidents who really did terrible things but both were solid enough in their personal lives not to generate enough news for the tabloids to pay attention.)
They are simply going to keep launching baseless accusations to make everything seem sordid, like the Trump admin is constantly hiding things from them. Itās a game. Shameful game but a game just the same.

Correct he is a master of the narrative. He has spent his whole life in public view. Dealing with politicians, so called famous people,newspapers media outlets, Hollywood and being a media personality himself. All this long before the internet and The Apprentice. Someone else also had the same experience his name was Ronald Reagan and he honed his skills talking to average Americans doing tours around the country for GE after his acting career.
I agree totally yes letās see all of Nancy Pelosiās Financial records and how much money sheās made from all the credit card companies in America a little known fact conveniently covered up by the Democrats.
I think thatās what Trump understands better than most people in Washington the hypocrisy and he just does things his own way and they donāt like it.

The Clinton administration was swimming in sleaze, but they couldnāt pin anything on those two.
In retrospect, I think they had the wrong man. It was that creepy little wife of his all along. She was the real evil, he was just a distracting buffoon. While he was sticking his dick in all the wrong places, she had her hand in every cookie jar.
Watch them on video. Watch anyone on video long enough and you get an ever clearer sense of their character. Bubbette was the real evil mastermind. That doofus she married was just a useful tool. A puppet.
But can you impeach a First Lady?
Yes. Itās called divorce. 
Heās the President. Billionaire president with huge local and foreign assets. It aināt rocket science.
Sheās not the President.
If you didnāt give one person so much power nobody would care about their tax recordsā¦Or where they were bornā¦Ahem.
I think my last several post need some loving whereās the hearts people?..Yes, Unapologetic solicitation!
