Rep Tlaib to Trump: "How Dare You..."

How dare you even try to pretend you have not given white supremacists and Neo Nazis even more power in this country?

We will always stand with our Jewish, Muslim, and neighbors of all faiths against your type of hate.


Trump:
It is shameful that House Democrats won’t take a stronger stand against Anti-Semitism in their conference. Anti-Semitism has fueled atrocities throughout history and it’s inconceivable they will not act to condemn it!

As long we're talking former VPs, AL GORE is younger than Joe Biden.

... Al Gore is younger than Biden, opposed the Iraq War from the start, backs single-payer health care, and supports the Green New Deal.

House Democrats plan to formally demand President Donald Trump's tax returns in about two weeks

House Democrats plan to formally demand President Donald Trump’s tax returns in about two weeks, a key lawmaker said Tuesday.

They intend to seek a decade’s worth of his personal tax returns, though not his business filings, said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee.


“We’re almost ready to go,” said Pascrell, who’s led a push among lawmakers to use an arcane law to unmask Trump’s tax returns.

A 1924 law allows the heads of Congress’s tax committees to examine anyone’s confidential tax filings. Lawmakers can also vote to make those returns publicly available, experts say.

“The chairman will be ready in two weeks to send his letter,” Pascrell said. “And I volunteered to deliver it.”

2011-NY Military Academy told to: "Find Trump's academic records & help bury them"

The superintendent of the private school “came to me in a panic because he had been accosted by prominent, wealthy alumni of the school who were Mr. Trump’s friends” and who wanted to keep his records secret.

New: In 2011, days after Donald Trump challenged President Obama to “show his records” to prove that he hadn’t been a “terrible student,” the headmaster at New York Military Academy got an order from his boss: Find Trump’s academic records & help bury them

******

Former officials of the military academy where Trump went to high school say that wealthy alumni directed them to retrieve, remove and hide Trump's academic records.

The request came in 2011, days after Trump challenged Obama to "show his records."


*********

Said Jeffrey Coverdale: “I was given directives, part of which I could follow but part of which I could not, and that was handing them over to the trustees. I moved them elsewhere on campus where they could not be released. It’s the only time I ever moved an alumnus’s records.”

Trump and Fox News are like a fucked up human centipede where he eats whatever they shit, then he vomits it out, and then Fox News eats the vomit and shits it out again.
