  1. Trump’s sister retires from the federal judiciary to avoid ethics investigation into her taxes

    [​IMG]

    On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Maryanne Trump Barry, President Donald Trump’s older sister, is retiring as a federal judge.

    Trump Barry, who sits on the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, was hit with a misconduct complaint last October, stemming from a report that the Trump family used fraudulent tax schemes to increase their inheritance. Retiring from the bench ends that investigation.

    This alleged fraud is one of many reasons why House Democrats are calling for Trump to release his tax returns. The president has refused to do so, leading Democrats to invoke a law that allows them to obtain his returns from the IRS directly. The request is likely to go to a court battle.

  2. Yup. She is retiring which many people do after decades on the job at her age.

    And yup, that will put her beyond the reach of the New York Times complaint as an attempt to get at the President.

    Try again New York Times. You got nuttin else to do.

    Would like to see mgmt come in and limit the number of threads created in the politics section. Folks start threads for any frivolous headline and clutter up the section. --This headline could have easily been placed in any number of existing threads. ---It's too hard to keep track of all the convos in the existing format.

    So would I. But we haven't had one for a long, long time and it is unlikely we are going to get one any time soon.
     
  6. Then move to Canada!!!!

    Wait. That's not going to work either.

    Maybe you preferred the Obama administration which was working to overthrow an election and where its AG attempted to secretly meet on the tarmac to settle an investigation into the party's nominee. Yeh, we know. Nothing to see there.

  7. Could consolidate quite a few posts by just having one thread entitled:BULLSHIT LINKS THAT LEFTIES GOT PAID TO POST. That would put everything from Mullah Tony, Here4Richter, Ex-Groper, and Freddy Foreskin all into one thread.

    Agreed, these last two years have felt like two decades, and 2020 does feel like forever.

    Perhaps for you, as a liberal. For me, the past 10 years have felt like a lifetime.
