This attempt to hold a license to not pay taxes will stand until a non-MAGA president occupies the Oval Office, at which time the way will be clear for that president's attorney general to challenge the agreement in court. And likely win. Let's face it, until then, The Trump Crime Family will just stop paying taxes. Why should they pay, if they will not be questioned?

IN THE MEANTIME, RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES...

The Trump family will never be held accountable in the United States for anything.

The Epstein Files could be released tomorrow with 8 by 10 color glossies and everything else Arlo Guthrie described and and it wouldn't change what's happening in the world right now. Nor do I think Trump's approval ratings would drop.

Can you imagine the poor journalist who might be combing through the files and happen upon a video of Trump attempting a normal sexual act?

The world has enough bad news.

Jayzus in a jerky jalopy, folks, what the actual fluck is the matter with you GOPers?
You've oozed us waaay beyond a "normal" Republica Bananera.
This is Daniel Ortega territory, FFS.
Those Republican "standards," to the extent they ever existed?
Dead, buried, fossils ready for museum display.
