Again @dwightlooi, all are against several international laws all run affront of the US constitution. Maybe your K-12 education didn’t cover those basic facts but they are in fact, facts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act Regarding the idiotic use of land mines (and I honestly can’t believe that this even has to be explained) https://www.un.org/disarmament/convarms/landmines/ https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/10/03/united-states-landmine-policy-questions-and-answers

Thanks. I still have four months or so before I’m totally recovered (according to my doctor today anyway) but not being to drive the past month has literally been driving me insane. This is at least a step in the right direction. On a side note, on way home from the doctor I spotted a dark gray CTS-V wagon with the tag that read “1 BD WAGON”. I have to say I agreed with that tag 100%. That is a bucket list car for me.

All three are 100% unconstitutional and to even suggest such things is agreeing to becoming a police state under military rule. Baffling how that simple concept escapes the extremist mindset.

No. The point also, according to Trump, was to get those jobs back to the US. This does not hurt Mexico as much as it will hurt us. Fun fact. Migrant detentions in Mexico increased over the last two months, long before Trumps empty threat.

One month after shoulder surgery and I’ve finally been cleared to drive. I have never been so happy about something so small in my entire life.

It’s funny how a nation that prides itself on free markets and capitalism has people wanting to set the exact opposite policies and laws, forgetting that it’s a world economy now.

That’s a fair point but maybe someone can confirm the profit margin on the Envision. Bear in mind that Buick sells far more in China than here so the margins probably aren’t the issue as much as it just makes sense to have them made where they are in the highest demand.

It was trolling and I’m not going to argue with you over it. Moving on. And these tariffs will will not bring back jobs for reasons dfelt already covered. Besides Trumps reasoning for the Mexico tariffs was because of immigration. His jobs remark was secondary and useless since if you take jobs away from Mexico, then logic would dictate that more of their people will try to come here, directly contradicting the point of the tariff in the first place.

Oh that’s right. Clothing gets spared tariffs even though our textile industry, an industry I worked for four year during the 90s, took the biggest hit from cheap China made goods after the implementation of NAFTA. Guess who gets all of their clothing made there? Hint* it rhymes with Itanka and Ronald. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5b42a597e4b09e4a8b2e72c3/amp Funny. You are the only other person to bring up the horror show that was the 1930s. I wish some other folks would open their eyes to the parallels of today and that era and see what a disaster truly looks like.

Good luck with that lol. Somewhere there is a therapist in his area with a doll that shows where the bad EV touched him. And that’s a lot of cars whose respective brands will see a sizable decline in sales if this is allowed to happen over a prolonged period. But hey, as long as Trumps ego is satisfied, it’s great for America right? And I’m assuming that all of Donald and Ivankas China and Mexico made goods will be subject to these tariffs too? Fair is fair right? Walk the walk if you’re going to talk the talk.

And your first step is acknowledging sarcasm because you haven’t shown you’ve know jack squat since you jumped on a thread you said you were done with three days ago. No. You were clearly trolling as evidenced by your senseless follow remark awaiting a reply. I just don’t have time for the senseless crap. But that is okay for Trump supporters as they always buy American and never have to worry about the impact of an economically impotent president negatively impacting their lives. Sarcasm 101 for the sarcasm impaired out there.

Which I do believe is also requesting to see his finances. Maybe they can talk to his ex-judge sister who was/is also under investigation for tax fraud. ? I’m sure the resident tax experts here have an explanation (deflection) for this as well since they like to portray themselves as “educated” while us simpletons know nothing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/04/10/us/maryanne-trump-barry-misconduct-inquiry.amp.html

There has been some confusion regarding my stance on Trumps taxes so let me clarify myself. While his personal taxes probably don’t matter (because they really won’t reveal much in the grand scheme of things), his corporate taxes are very important to know, ie the hundreds of LLCs and shell companies he owns. This article here sums up why very nicely and that is all I’m going to say about it because while two people have now insulted my “education” or knowledge of this, they have failed themselves failed to prove how they know any better. Here you go. Time for me to sit in the pool and relax for a while. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/1258781001

Nope. Just don’t care and it’s 100% irrelevant since I’m not the one running for president much less am the president. You can keep the snideness to yourself next time junior. @dwightlooi—The hell there is isn’t a legal obligation. Section 6301(f)(1) of the tax code stipulates that upon official written request, the Treasury Secretary “shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request.”

A detailed tax statement most certainly does detail where his money was coming from unless you’re under the guise that he doesn’t have to provide the sources of his income when he files them. It is simply asinine to assume that it doesn’t because many folks have been busted for those same types of crimes using IRS tax statements and documents. You have also sidestepped two things: 1.-Trump himself promised he’d release them after getting elected. His claims of being under audit don’t hold any legal water and this is easily verifiable. That’s makes him a liar which to most reasonable folks means he has something to hide. 2.-No other president in our history has had so many dealings and debt held with so many different countries, the same countries we are “negotiating” with. Not sure how or why that simple concept escapes you. This makes his finances and taxes fair game, end of story. And for for the record, while I’m obviously not a tax expert, I have been doing my own since I was 16 (thirty years to the day) so I am not ignorant to the principles of reported income and such so you can just keep your little K-12 insult because clearly it’s you that needs to re-educate yourself while you make excuses for Trump not doing what every other candidate has done for the last forty years. From the actual tax experts: https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2019/04/10/trump-tax-returns Long story short, if you or I refused to provide IRS documents to the government, we’d be in prison. @balthazar—See my above response as to why it matters in Trumps case more so than some others in the past.

Be careful @ocnblu. Might want to save all those negative votes you just threw out while claiming to have no interest in the subject. #whostherealsnowflakehere

You clearly have ZERO understanding of what happens when someone decides to become a public servant much less the president of the United States. Besides it seems to me that you would be taking a different view on this had Clinton become president. Your bias is clearly obvious here. Let me say this for you one more time. His net worth is not the issue here. How he got it is. The man has business dealings with just about every country we are trying to “negotiate” with regarding trade, war, and everything else that matter. That makes how he got his money 100% open to public scrutiny. To pretend otherwise is walking around with your eyes closed. Your efforts to move the bar regarding this is ridiculously biased in nature. What do you not understand about that?

Except Trumps business finances have absolutely been inseparable from his personal finances unlike Sam Walton. They both merit a thorough review as a result. This is all became relevant once he became a public servant. He personal and business dealings around the world make it necessary to review both. That’s the point here. See my above response. LLC does not factor here.

My wife is from Illinois and my uncle lived there for over twenty years. I am very familiar with their political leanings. Here’s the thing. I live in red state Arizona and was born in redder state North Carolina. Neither of those states political leanings had any affect on my voting habits. That’s just being complicit without seeing a need for change IMO.

The Trump Foundation was shut down. Knowing that, why would they have to be shut down if they did nothing wrong? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/18/trump-foundation-shutdown-lawsuit @dwightlooi—Please read this before saying that protectionism in a capitalist economy works. https://hbr.org/1987/05/why-protectionism-doesnt-pay In this case, both are relevant since one in inseparable from the other.

Context is your friend here. I suggest reading it again but you’re the only that said you only had “one choice” when you didn’t.

And the Trump Foundation is under investigation for even more questionable practices.

I would up vote this a thousand times if I could but I apparently ran out of votes to give for the day.

Did you see anything in any of my posts that mentioned your party of choice? No. If you don’t want people putting words in your mouth then don’t put words into theirs. Oh and your state (I’m assuming you still reside in Illinois) had four choices.

How would you that he was the least corrupt if you don’t even want to know how he made his fortune? (Which, for the record, was the tactic used against the Clintons and how they made their money)
