“Top Democrat senator?” What the hell is that?

So everyday, these media buttwipes ask Democrats what the hate of the day is about, then trumpet it as news?

What do these idiots think? Donald Trump is burning the midnight oil every April 15th figuring out how to take the home office deduction on his 1040?

He never sees his 1040.

He wants to bring in Lois Lerner to do the audit.

So at a higher level, Ron Wyden is now calling for somebody to drain the swamp. Catchy phrase...

As a general rule, I don’t agree with our citizens being audited unless a serious infraction seems obvious.

In Congress, it seems to me that there are some obvious infractions.

Enforce existing law. If existing law won’t address the problem, then consider new legislation to prevent members from doing illegal things.

The same should apply with our federal judges.

I’m not a guilty until proven innocent type of person. I won’t sign on to every person of any group to be auditied regularly.

That being said, I do believe that certain top level government officials should be observed peripherally to filter out the ones that have glaring irregularities pop up.

If a guy is earning $200k a year, and accumulates $10 million dollars in five years, something is up.

Too many people go to Washington reasonably wealthy, and come home stinking rich.

That sort of thing is almost certain to affect policy for the negative.

I remember Kennedy peripherally, but wasn’t really media savvy in those days.

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Politicians know this. The current tax laws are such a Byzantine labyrinth, that vitually anyone can be punished for breaking some rule or law.

Politicians like Wyden know this, and will wield it like a club to take out the political competition.

All of this “show me your tax returns” BS was started by RINOs like mc cain and romney, looking for any leverage they could find. It’s just another political hit job with the players looking to score.

If some conniving POS senator or congress puke wants to go down that road, then let it apply across the board.

I’m surprised Wyden didn’t recommend Lois Lerner for the job.

I don’t think it should be used on private individuals or groups like the Tea Party.

Slap it down for everyone, so there isn’t an instance of it being done out of the blue without cause.

Granted, if someone is suspected to be involved in criminal activity, there can be times when it’s legit. It must be legit though.

Democrats have always been convinced their interests are the nation’s priorities. They opposed independence from England, started a civil war, opposed racial equality, opposed wars against communism, and showed absolute hatred for every conservative president in our nation’s history.
From the beginning Democrats have been this nation’s enemy, openly advocating for the destruction of the US and the corruption of the Constitution.
We are just going to have to put these mad dogs down, again, hard.

Trump gets audited every year, and has survived, even when that crook, Lois Lerner, was running the show.

Should not even be an audit.

President Trump is the duly elected president of the USA.

It is unthinkable that he is being investigated with no evidence of a crime.

Hillary was NEVER investigated. There was an “inquiry,” not an investigation. Same with Holder, Obama, and their endless criminal, seditious, and treasonous activities.

War is inevitable. Everyone needs to get ready for it. It is impossible to share a civil society with baby-killing, sodomy-promoting, socialist-loving tyrants who think the purpose of law is to punish their political enemies, consolidate their own power, and enrich themselves off the backs of the populace.
