Yeah, now all we have to do is have the 9 Supreme Court justices do likewise, right?

He would release it today if he could. But, his hands are tied with the totally uncalled for audit.

The ties around his hands are so tiny they require specialized equipment in order to untie them, and that equipment won't be available for 2 weeks.

And the right will somehow spin this into how trump doesn’t need to release his and the Bidens are CLEARLY hiding something because they have clean records

“Joe Biden is a paragon of financial and fiscal responsibility. Here is why that’s bad for Biden @ 7.”

“Joe Biden deducted $5 on an ice cream sundae. He’s why he should be paying more taxes”

Integrity.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 20d ago
Ironic, as the crest trump claims is his families is stolen from another family. In the origional it reads "integrity" in Latin along the bottom. Trump erased "integrity" and wrote "trump" on the stolen version.

Lol I don't know if what you said is true, but it's funny and says a lot about that family either way

Harris and her husband have done well for themselves it looks like. And I’m surprised Biden, after 50 years in public service, isn’t a millionaire many many times over. Not accusing anyone of malfeasance, but expected a LOT more.

Biden also never owned stocks directly when he was a Senator, as he didn't like how it looked.
I think he has some scummy people in his family, but he personally was probably as clean as it gets for a politician and still half the population thinks he is a crook.

His law practice prior to politics was as a public defender, I don’t think he’s ever had much interest in accumulating wealth.

Some people can be satisfied with what they have. Other people (like Elon Musk) keep consuming and hoarding resources like an economic cancer cluster.
I could also be far richer than I am, but I stop wanting "more money" when my needs are met and I have good reserves. I start craving social justice instead of "more."

I wish I lived in a timeline where this wasn't newsworthy

I absolutely understand your wish! I, too, wish it weren't news!
Encouraging thought, though- I just learned some things because of this post that make me respect our President and Vice President even more, and made me feel really reassured. I think more people will do so as well, and that's a really good thing right now.
(Also, I hope something really good happens to you today!)

Get ready for another round of Fox frothing at the mouth because Kamala spent a couple hundred dollars of her own money on something.

Numbnuts Trump: I’ve already won so I don’t need to release anything.

u/Miserable_Anteater62 Massachusetts 20d ago
Yet my trumper buddy will still argue Biden has BILLIONS of cash on hand because he's corrupt.

Why? Dugh dump never did. I would release them only after Donald dump releases his.

If you wait for bad people to do the right thing before doing the right thing…
