This isn’t even a legal battle, it’s a budget meeting with extra steps.

He’s handing himself 10 billion in taxes to pocket, they’re telling you that they you need to help pay 400 million in taxes for his ballroom.
Ain’t that some bullshit?

I am in awe at the brazenness of Trump, who is a tax cheat, suing the IRS over the leak of his tax returns by a contractor, that happened years ago, but now that he is over the IRS and Treasury again decides now is the time to sue. And what is really astonishing is he is negotiating a settlement with himself. You just can’t make this shit up! It’s pure insanity!

I have MAGA relatives that I see regularly because we’re all shareholders in a family-owned business. At our last family meeting, I told them that Trump was suing for $10 billion. Every single one of them said it was “fake news”. I showed them a news article, but they still denied it. Right-wing media is staying away from this story.
I’m expecting that the next time I see my MAGA idiot relatives, they’ll probably say that Trump was victimized and deserves the $10 billion. But for now, Fox, Breitbart, et al seem to be pretty quiet about it.

Did Trump not judge shop properly? I thought for sure Trump’s lawyers would make sure the case would appear in front of some nepo-judge that Trump appointed.

The judge should hold Trumo in contempt of court for attempting to abuse it to defraud the American citizens.

So fucking tired of Republican voters. I’ve been around 42 years now and every generation just seems to be getting fucking dumber and dumber. It’s a tyranny of idiocy.

Doesn’t matter. It only matters what the Supreme Court says.

A future president should pardon Charles Littlejohn for leaking the tax returns just like Mr. Fascist pardoned the Jan 6 insurrectionists.

The IRS is not Trump’s IRS, it’s ours. This is part of the problem, he’s not a king, being president doesn’t mean he owns the government or us.

Trump is incredibly stupid.
