I cannot watch this anymore.

Just sent another $15 to Joe Biden. After this deluge of misinformation from Trump, that last fundraising haul is going to come in very handy. Let's keep on giving, and shut this motherf*cker down.

"Show us your tax returns!" "You'll see it as soon as their finished."



So he hasn't done his taxes in 4 years?

Biden is incredible

All Trump knows how to do is be an asshole and interrupt and say nonsense. He is trying to do the debate like he does on Twitter: By debating himself. God he is stupid.

People can't be fooled by this shit.

Judge Orders Emergency paper Back Up of Voter records In Georgia

Interesting...

https://www.ajc.com/politics/judge-orders-emergency-paper-backups-of-voting-records-in-georgia/ZCOJUT7BIRB6JPWMXUEA4TFZDU/


A federal judge on Monday required paper backups of voter registration and absentee voting information at every Georgia polling place, a safeguard to allow voters to continue casting ballots if computers fail on Election Day.


U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg ordered election officials to prepare paper copies of records showing who is registered to vote and whether they’ve already voted before Nov. 3, either by absentee ballot or during in-person early voting.

The ruling could help prevent long lines if poll workers struggle with the state’s new voter check-in tablets, called Poll Pads, as they did during the state’s June 9 primary, Totenberg wrote. Some voters waited for hours because of a combination of high turnout, poll closures, social distancing, absentee ballot problems and difficulties operating voting equipment.

How much did you pay in federal taxes in 2017 and 2018?

Trump paid $750.

I paid probably around 40,000 if you take away the medicare, social security, etc. Got a sweet refund though on those solar panels last year...

Will Trump's taxes break him in this election?

I really think they will. Biden will be able to now emphasize how much of a drain on society Trump has been as president and before.

Judge asks district attorney why he didn't take Trump's tax returns weeks ago

NEW YORK — A federal appeals judge on Friday questioned why Manhattan's district attorney declined to execute a grand jury subpoena for President Trump's long-sought tax returns when it appeared after a recent court order that prosecutors had an opportunity to do so.

Judge Pierre N. Leval said he believed that the order issued Sept. 1 by a separate three-member panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit was meant to pause a lower court’s dismissal of Trump’s renewed bid to kill the subpoena — but that it did not prevent the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D), from collecting the president’s financial records from his accounting firm in the meantime.

“The stay was a stay on dismissal of complaint,” Leval said during questioning of a lawyer for the district attorney. “It was not a stay on execution of subpoena.”




I think a lot of us here might have wondered the same thing...
