Sonicfire isn’t thinking clearly...

He had the CHY NUH virus!

Biden gave his first “CMON MAN” to the media, and his press secretary can’t get past “uh umm huh uhhhh!”

Circus is getting bigger!

Rumors that @ßOLE would visit Turnberry after leaving the White House came after U.S. planes were allegedly spotted on surveillance missions around the Turnberry resort. Though I 'spect they'll name it after 007 the late Sean Connery!

And that's just the things that are obvious.
He stole from you, the taxpayer and paid taxes in china (so much to understanding tax laws).

Uh huh, all I see here is a bunch of whiny unproven allegations.

Like U crank says if you have some actual information instead of liberal masturbatory fantasies then there is an IRS hotline and i'm sure they would want to hear from you.

Excellent idea. Then every time Trump flies there he'll be landing on Joe Biden and sticking his jumbo jet into Joes gaping hangar. Oh yeah please do it! The memes will be epic!

careful, u_crank will think that you break the rules.

You left a lot of my questions/remarks unanswered, but I still try once more:

Why are your superrich able and encouraged to evade taxes, even cheered upon when they take money that could be used to build and maintain schools, streets and ... walls, if you must?
Why is it the obligation of those that need to have two or three jobs to provide for those communal services without opportunity to evade any tax?
Why is it wrong to be able to get medical treatment regardless of your income?
Why don't you want kids with poorer parents notto go to good schools?

What medical condition is this?

"The Times reported that a criminal investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance (D) and a civil probe by the state Attorney General Letitia James (D), which are being conducted independently, have both apparently issued subpoenas to the Trump Organization in recent weeks for records in connection to the write-offs.

This comes after a Times investigation published in September based on more than two decades of Trump’s tax records found that he had deducted approximately $26 million in fees to unidentified consultants on several projects between 2010 and 2018."

I tried, really. the problem is, once you leave remarks uncontested that the one you mention is anything but what you mention - it becomes consensus.
You know: "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing." (John Stuart Mill)

It's not a medical condition it is a economic system. No system is perfect but the American model seems to attract a lot of people from other parts of the globe and some are desparate to get there.

Seems kinda strange that such a bad system is such an attraction.

I agree Aktung, but it's just a suggestion which can not be obeyed especially with the second impeachment trial coming up Feb 8th.

I don't think the US Senate has enough votes to do Trump in ... they need 17 votes ...

Remember as big as Trump lost he still has over 72 million men and women that voted for him anyone against Trump will be noted and demoted.

Besides most members have been calling him something else anyway, like orange man etc

Biden Stops Trump Order To Slash Price Of Insulin, EpiPen



President Joe Biden’s United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday stopped executive orders from his predecessor designed to significantly lower prescription drug prices for Americans, including insulin and epinephrine.
The new administration will apparently re-evaluate the executive action from President Donald Trump toward the end of March. It remains unclear if it will be reinstated.

Lawyer for the 'Q Shaman' who stormed the Capitol in a fur headdress with horns says his client feels 'duped' after Trump didn't pardon him

https://www.businessinsider.com/q-sh...er-says-2021-1

Speaking to local television station KSDK on Thursday, Chansley's lawyer Al Watkins said that his client had expected to be pardoned by Trump but that he has now realized he'd been "duped."

"He regrets very, very much having not just been duped by the president, but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made," Watkins said, according to Law & Crime.

Gotta love how he’s trying to shift all of the blame onto Trump, as if he himself didn’t make a conscious decision to break into the Capitol.

Dude needs to grow some balls and take responsibility for his own actions.

Is it the US system that attracts (=pulls) so much, or the scandalous poverty, suffering and inequity in the home countries that pushes so hard? We both know the answer.
