I keep seeing tRumpsters talk about Hunter Biden being wired $3.5 million from some Russian.
My understanding is that the $3.5 was wired to the investment firm that Biden worked at. Not an unusual transaction for an investment firm to receive a large investment. Optics might not be the best but not unusual at all.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

tRumpsters love to talk about leaches on society. Takers that pay no tax yet receive welfare, etc.
If I were advising Biden I would have him hammer the "I can't release my returns because they are under audit" thing 24/7. We know that the IRS has already stated that there is nothing stopping him from releasing returns. If tRump wants to say he can't release them then the first question is "why won't you release the returns that are NOT under audit?" The IRS can only audit open tax years, generally the last three years of returns. The only reason that returns older than three years would be under audit would be if the IRS suspects or is investigating fraud. Biden needs to press him on that and either make him admit that the IRS is examining him for fraud or to prove the NYT wrong and release his returns.
trump's take will likely hit it home: i didn't pay much tax because i'm smart.
He's hiding those returns because they show lots of illegal activity.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

- Mr. Trump paid no federal income taxes in 11 of 18 years that The Times examined. In 2017, after he became president, his tax bill was only $750.
- He has reduced his tax bill with questionable measures, including a $72.9 million tax refund that is the subject of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
- Many of his signature businesses, including his golf courses, report losing large amounts of money — losses that have helped him to lower his taxes.
- The financial pressure on him is increasing as hundreds of millions of dollars in loans he personally guaranteed are soon coming due.
- Even while declaring losses, he has managed to enjoy a lavish lifestyle by taking tax deductions on what most people would consider personal expenses, including residences, aircraft and $70,000 in hairstyling for television.
- Ivanka Trump, while working as an employee of the Trump Organization, appears to have received “consulting fees” that also helped reduce the family’s tax bill.
- As president, he has received more money from foreign sources and U.S. interest groups than previously known. The records do not reveal any previously unreported connections to Russia.

I'm sure its been noted on here but needs repeating ..
Not such a big deal that he doesn't pay federal taxes.
The problem is that he is such a bad business person and is on the hook for over $400 million that he is a SECURITY THREAT.0 -

Look at him in the republican primary, or Clinton VS Him in 2016, it wasn't him debating professionally like her that made people adore the ol' fella.
Just let him loose and hope for the best, would be my advice if I was Rudy G."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

trumps performance is going to be so easy to predict. make promises that something amazing is going to happen before the election, middle east peace, gop health bill, something like that.
also, gop does not know how to run against biden. trump is going to do his old, tired attacks on sleepy joe and hunter biden. he will probably throw in there something about hillary's emails. he will also accuse biden of being in on some sort of mail in ballot scheme.
trump has to attack because he cannot run on his record and expect to win.
he will also tout jobs numbers, while not mentioning how many were lost under his watch before they began to rebound. will talk about how this is the greatest economy in the history of the world, and how he is the greatest president ever, besides possibly lincoln, for african americans.
it is going to be a shitshow. biden is going to be caught off guard and will spend his time trying to fact check instead of present his platform.
hopefully wallace will do fact checking in real time on both candidates, but i am not holding my breath."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
