    Yes, some can, especially for complicated and far reaching businesses.

    I do not think the IRS has any problem with someone releasing their tax returns during an audit, but I can understand not wanting to do it.

    I do think he could easily prove he is being audited, and that would take some heat off him.

    He has also back down from previous promises that he would release them, once the audit is complete, so the flack he gets for that has merit.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    There is nothing illegal about making your tax return public WHILE you are being audited.

    I guess I read this from you...


    I see Biden as being worse than Trump in just about every way

    ...and read into that that you must agree with him or are close to his views than Biden in "just about every way".

    I'm curious if you care to share maybe a few things you disagree with him or maybe could say something like, "based on the issues you presented, I maybe agree with Trump on about 75% of the issues."

    I ask this because I'm curious how many people there might be out there that maybe only agree with T Rump on 30-40% of those issues, but will vote for him for one of these reasons:

    1) One issue, like abortion carries way more weight and tips the balance.
    2) They believe his VP being too far left is just too big a risk, but I guess we'll be able to judge that before we vote.
    3) You think Biden's mental issues/dementia will worsen more than T Rumps.
    4) Write in a reason.
    Ok. That was a misstatement on my part. I see them as equally bad. When it comes to Trump, all the obvious concerns are there for me, like every time he opens his mouth or opens Twitter. The LGBTQ stuff is a big red flag, especially as somebody who has questioned their own sexuality (to some extent) in the past. But, Biden hasn't exactly been open and affirming for most of his life. I don't know how I feel about this ICE thing yet. I will say that I do support most of his views on immigration. I'm all for giving people the opportunity to thrive here, but they have to follow the rules and come here the right way. Like I've said numerous times, I like where the economy has been at under Trump, and as for his foreign policy, I could go on all day about that. Kim and North Korea definitely played us, and he's definitely not doing us any favors with Israel and the Saudis, even though Israel has their own mess going on now. I do support a healthier relationship with Russia and it has been nice to see that. The way I see it, both countries are better off if we get along. I don't know what to think about China.

    Turning to Biden now, his senility and temperament are issues 1A and 1B for me. I don't want somebody who has verbally abused voters on multiple occasions to be in charge of the nuclear code. While Biden is not far left like you pointed out, I think he will fill his cabinet, as well as his VP, with people that are, and I think that could be a dangerous combination with a Democratic controlled legislative branch, especially if something were to happen to him due to his age. Yes, I know, Trump is no spring chicken either, but at most, Trump would only serve 4 more years, while Biden could potentially serve for 8. In general, I support the push for social equality, but I think under Biden, the Progressive/far left movement will force whites to sacrifice too much in order to even the playing field, and I'm not in support of that. There will always be privileged and underprivileged people in society. We can adjust the system so that minorities aren't unfairly put in a situation where they become underprivileged, but trying to eliminate all forms of inequalities is a futile movement.

    No change in healthcare costs rising- no alternative plan as promised by him and the GOP for almost 10 years.

    No improvement with Iran, China, North Korea, Yemen, Russia and just about every other hot spot.

    Relations with our allies are more strained than ever.

    No protections for LGBT and DACA as he promised.

    No Mexico paying for the wall, and don't hand me that the new trade deal is making Mexico pay. It's almost identical to NAFTA.

    No increase in minimum wage.

    No big infrastructure as promised and needed.

    Yes, a better chance to make abortion illegal.
    Yes, back to Fed executions.
    Yes, no changes in gun safety.

    Are you sure you are in support of all his plans and actions?

    As for a left wing VP becoming prez, nobody mentioned (Sanders, who isn't mentioned) is even close to extreme left, and Congress will not allow anything near Socialism in my lifetime.


    You must be about 105 years old. Its coming soon if Quid Pro Joe gets in.

    Can't he just show us proof he's still being audited?
    Who cares about Trump's taxes except the Democrats? Lets see all of Biden's and his family's financial records as they relate to anything connected with the government since he has been in office.

    Just curious, what is it that you would hope to find in his tax returns? While I was employed as a tax attorney for a large life insurer which filed very complex returns, I did not prepare the tax returns, but I can tell you that most attorneys and accountants would not have the foggiest idea of what they would be looking at.

    It is very noticeable that the TDS crew can never discuss substantive issues. Does hiden Biden have any policy positions? Does he have any accomplishments to show for 45 years as a Federally elected officials?

    On Jan. 21 - the day the first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was confirmed - Fauci appeared on conservative Newsmax TV. “Bottom line, we don’t have to worry about this one, right?” asked Greg Kelly, the host.

    Fauci said, “Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kind of things the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the Department of Homeland Security is doing. But this is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.”

    Yeah, Fauci really knows his stuff. Idiot!

    Accomplishments:

    1. He and his family, specifically Hunter have become very, very rich during his 45 years in office.

    2. He has smelled the hair of more young girls than any politician in history.

    That explains why none of his positions came to mind right away as I was thinking about it

    Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts announced the BREATHE Act on Tuesday -- legislation that would radically transform the nation's criminal justice system by eliminating life sentences, retroactively expunging drug crimes, shutting down multiple federal agencies and permanently closing prisons and immigration detention centers, among other agenda items.


    The bill also seeks to end gang databases, establish pilot programs for a universal basic income, and afford voting rights and "lifetime education" to all illegal immigrants and incarcerated criminals.

    These are good ideas from the radical left wing of the Democratic Party.
