Paying $750 in taxes, including his first year in office. Owes over $400 million in loans that he could be called to repay during a second term. Wow I mean I knew the taxes had to be bad to keep with his audit nonsense. But damn. This grifter is clinging on to power because he’s afraid he could be forced to pay a lot of money for possible tax fraud. Not to mention possible charges for him and his family. ????

In 2018, Amazon paid $0 in U.S. federal income tax on more than $11 billion in profits before taxes. It also received a $129 million tax rebate from the federal government.

but no one cares   I do though since they are putting most small business out of business.

Why is the DOJ not doing anything about ballot harvesting fraud?  Seriously. 

We always hear about voter suppression from Democrats but, other than Gabbard, they are silent on voter fraud. 

I am curious how many Democrat voters actually support ballot harvesting.

Edit:  So according to Minnesota law its legal to harvest up to 3 votes.  I like how they use the term "help" voters.  Here let me fill that out for you. ? 

Ballot harvesting is not illegal in Minnesota, however. A district court in the state denied a Republican motion to stay a temporary injunction against a law that made it illegal for anyone to help more than three people vote.

I would hate to debate Kayliegh.  She has to be the best Press Secretary I have ever seen.

Another strong finish.  The gasp he makes at the end sounds like "May I please take a nap".

Do as they say not as they do ?

Turns out Republicans have the bigger names—Jack Abramoff, Randy “Duke” Cunningham—but Democrats have the most tax scandals by a margin of 18 to 7.

Republicans and Tea Partiers tend to shout the loudest when it comes to tax reform, and they’re also the most law abiding—when it comes to paying their taxes, anyway.

Democrats are hypocrites when it comes to paying taxes

As one leading Democrat put it: "Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter."



That Democrat was then-Sen. Tom Daschle in 1998. The same Tom Daschle, we've since learned, who failed to pay more than $100,000 in back taxes for perks he received as one of Washington's most relentless influence-peddlers -- that is, until he realized he might receive a job in the Obama administration spending the money most Americans conscientiously send to Washington.



Daschle's hardly alone. The recently confirmed Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, also failed to pay taxes he owed (even though he surely must have known he owed them) until it became politically expedient to pay them. Now he runs the IRS. Take that, suckers.



Meanwhile, Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the supreme tax-writing body in the United States, the House Ways and Means Committee, is under investigation for, among other things, dodging taxes. His excuse for his admitted mistakes is that he was sloppy and ignorant, but not criminal. Geithner and Daschle make similar noises.

I don't know how "Cafeteria Catholics" rationalize voting for Biden/Harris with a clear conscience. But, it's not for me to judge...
