Thorpist Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an iconic champion of women's rights, has died of cancer at the age of 87, may she RIP. The passing away of Ruth Bader Ginsburg may have a longer effect on the United States than President Trumps decisions as he will try to install his choice of a new Supreme Court Justice before the election.

I guess that solemn pledge Republicans made, that they won't confirm a new SC judge in an election year, doesn't work both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump, and you, are going to be very upset if Greta Thunberg or the WHO wins 1. The Palestine matter is a gnat on the rear of Middle East politics. Whatever side anyone chooses to be on the simple truth is that it is used as a proxy to attack Israel by real countries who historically have a problem with Israel. Those real countries have been beating up each other for decades too depending on which tribal loyalty they adhere to. Removing the tribal loyalties by bringing them alongside Israel only leaves Iran out in the cold and nobody is very upset by that - except Iran. 2. The Nobel Peace Prize isn't really suitable for either Thunberg or the WHO is it. I did say that people would be upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteowl Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 In a shock to nobody, it looks like the Don has been playing fast and loose with his taxes for the last 20 years or so. He paid $750 in tax in the year he got elected and has paid no tax in 11 out of 18 years that the New York Times has looked at. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/27/us/trump-taxes-takeaways.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes Guardian link in case you get paywall issues with the NY times link : https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/27/new-york-times-publishes-donald-trumps-tax-returns-election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The Bidens paid $5 in Federal tax in 2017. Kamala Harris and Senator Saunders paid $300,000 or so. The NYT have 20 years worth of records and will be running a series of reports. Here's a man who stiffed a children's cancer charity are we surprised.

butlers Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 You are entirely correct, my error. Trump's former fixer who did time for tax issues said at same time as Trump was paying $750 he was paying $3 million . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
