    The senate has passed a bill forcing Trump to release his tax returns.
    There is a theory that he is not only hiding tax avoidance but also lying about how rich he actually is.

    Said it before, I'll say it again - this won't do anything.

    His follower-base will reply with two things:
    1. "Wow, he managed to do all that with so little!"
    2. "True warrior for FREEDOM, he's avoided paying taxes to the DEEP STATE!"


    Seriously. That's all that will happen.

      It doesn't need to change his base's mind as long as it chips away at the waverers - Trump won on less than 100,000 votes; it doesn't need to seed the doubts in many people's minds.

        If some of his tax avoidance schemes are criminal in nature that might change things a bit.

          Despite multiple red flags the Deutsche Bank reportedly loaned Trump over $2bn over two decades despite many other financial institutions writing him off as a someone they wouldn't touch with a barge poll. Trump is suggested to have used the loans to exaggerate his personal wealth in order to win finance deals for his property portfolio.

          Trump reportedly told the Bank that his net wealth totalled $3bn but the banks own review of his fortune valued him at $788m.

            He only started with his fathers fortune of 1bn and is now worth over 10m! What a true entrepreneur of the modern era 😏

              Surely, Deutsche Bank would never do anything shady. Still, when we leave the EU we'll be able to deregulate a bit and it won't be so much of a problem

                More idiot politicians getting it wrong news, this time from the US.

                When the California congressman sued Twitter and several users, the cow account had 1,200 followers. It quickly surpassed his own following.


                Devin Nunes tries to sue Twitter over parody accounts (presumably safeguarded by the US 1st amendment) causes said account's followers to rise from 1,204 at the time of the lawsuit filing, to 574,653 about now.

                At this point, shouldn't the Streisand Effect be required reading?

                  New Zealand has mass shooting. Decides to ban automatic weapons a week later. America, you suck

                    But the Americans live in the self proclaimed greatest democracy in the world. They’re powerless to do anything about firearms. Can’t change the constitution. Well not past the twenty odd amendments that have already been passed.

                      I wish they'd just make a concerted effort to teach kids in school how to reach the constitution right. 20 years later when they enter politics themselves they'd have them banned much faster as a result. It's staggering how so many Americans could cite their constitutional rights on guns and miss that they don't actually have any.
