  1. So THAT’s why Garland has done NOTHING!! Trump’s pattern: install a loyalist in the IRS so he’d never have to release his taxes; install a loyalist in the DOJ so NO ONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE!! He installed loyalists in the Supreme Court to bias rulings away from Justice! And, this just scratching the surface. How did he corrupt oversight in dealings with Putin? On and on. OMG!

  2. So the IRS needs 7 years to go over Trump's income taxes? Just tell us all what we already know " HE doesn't pay any taxes or very little. Ya he's a real crook. And we ALL know it. Take your blinders off it's time. Really….!!!!!

    TO RESTORE THE 

    RULE OF LAW .

    TRUMP IS BRAGGING, TAKING FULL CREDIT FOR TILTING THE SCALES OF JUSTICE IN THE FAVOR OF CONSERVATIVES GOP -& TRUMP ON THE ABORTION ISSUE…

    THE Absurdity

     OF SCOTUS 2022 

    TRYING TO OVERTURN 

    THE EXACT INTERPRETATION OF THE 1977 MONUMENTAL LANDMARK DECISION, 

    Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States conferred the right to choose to have an abortion.

     

    Roe v. Wade (1973)

    Primary tabs

    The Supreme Court case that held that the Constitution protected a woman’s right to an abortion prior to the viability of the fetus. 

    Overview

    The case involved a Texas statute that prohibited abortion except when necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman. The Supreme Court, in a decision written by Justice Blackmun, recognized a privacy interest in abortions. In doing so, the court applied the right to privacy established in Griswold v Connecticut (1965). At stake in this matter was the fundamental right of a woman to decide whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. The underlying values of this right included decisional autonomy and physical consequences (i.e., the interest in bodily integrity).

    Because there was a fundamental right involved, the court applied the strict scrutiny test

    The Court divided the pregnancy period into three trimesters. During the first trimester, the decision to terminate the pregnancy was solely at the discretion of the woman. After the first trimester, the state could “regulate procedure.” During the second trimester, the state could regulate (but not outlaw) abortions in the interests of the mother’s health. After the second trimester, the fetus became viable, and the state could regulate or outlaw abortions in the interest of the potential life except when necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother.

     THE SUPREME COURT 

    BY HIS DEALS FOR THEM LYING UNDER OATH TO GET APPROVED 

    INLY TO OVERTURN 

    ROE V WADE that the NEW COURT JUSTICES SWORE UNDER OATH THEY WOULD NOT DO 

    NOT BY THEIR OWN PERSONAL RELIGIOUS BELIEFS & NOT BY THEIR POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATIONS.

    TRUMP COERCED THEM TO LIE UNDER OATH IN QUESTIONING WHICH THEY ALL DID… ONLY TO

    ATTEMPT

    A SLY CRAFTY

    OVERTURNING OF ROE V WADE

    IMMEDIATELY !!!!

    THAT DECISION WAS FINAL. 

    1977 TOE V WADE STANDS.

    ASK A LAWYER….

    IT STANDS.

    LYING TO THE PEOPLE

    &

    OVER STEPPING

    THEIR AUTHORITY

    JUST EXACTLY AS GOP & TRUMP

    THE CRIMES ARE SERIOUS 

    & ALL MUST BE HELD

    ACCOUNTABLE NOW AT

    THE PERIL OF OUR ENTIRE 

    DEMOCRACY IF 

    LAW & ORDER

    THE RULE OF LAW IS NOT RESTORED IMMEDIATELY.

  5. Trump calling anyone else a liar or treasonous is laughable. Pure projection.

  6. Is not ludicrous and untrue to suggest senior IRS officials targeting them. A it’s insanely unlikely both of them got audit on a “random select” ! B they have to reveal what was/is their political stands.
    Lots of coincidences in that supposed to be random thing!

  7. Here's a good Saturday riddle and very factual. 'What does the Biden White House staff and NBA have in common?'

    80% Black. Only 10% of the United States population.

  8. Is your socialist state Rep listed?
    Progressive Socialists (These aren't Democrats) who voted “NO” on the bill to protect USSC Justices and their families. To this date the federal government has not supplied protection for the justices at their homes. Demonstrators at the Justices homes are in violation of two federal laws. Merrick Garland does nothing. This is the same group that voted for de-funding the police. Joyce Beatty (Ohio), Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.), Cori Bush (Mo.), Veronica Escobar (Texas), Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.), Jesús García (Ill.), Sylvia Garcia (Texas), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), Raúl Grijalva (Ariz.), Steven Horsford (Nevada), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.), Brenda Lawrence (Mich.), Barbara Lee (Calif.), Tom Malinowski (N.J.), Marie Newman (Ill.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (MN), Bill Pascrell (N.J.), Donald Payne (N.J.), Ed Perlmutter (Colo.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Mikie Sherrill (N.J.), Albio Sires (N.J.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Norma Torres (Calif.), Nydia Velázquez (N.Y.), Maxine Waters (Calif.) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (N.J.)

    *10 of the 28 listed are from NY & NJ.

  9. SCOTUS
    CANNOT
    VOID
    THE
    US CONSTITUTION

    SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE IS 1ST AMMENDMENT

    IT TAKES A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT FOR 2022 SCOTUS TO OVERRULE 1973 SCOTUS ON ROE V WADE
    THEY ARE COURTS OF THE EXACT SAME POWER & AUTHORITY & A SCOTUS OF 2022 CANNOT OVERTURN THE 1977 LANDMARK DECISION JUST DENYING IT.

    IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL

    1973 SCOTUS DECISION STANDS.

  10. Yes remember Obama IRS scandal targeting conservatives denying them tax exemption status.

  11. People, please contact your President ;

    Contact Us | The White House

    Live Now: President Biden Delivers Remarks on Historic American Rescue Plan Pension Relief. The White House. The White House … Email

  12. Congress NERDS TO ENACT LAWS TO STOP THE ABUSE OF POWER SND STOP SCOTUS FROM TRYING TO VOID THE CONSTITUTION WITHOUT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT

    FROM THE RECENT SCOTUS
    GIVING FUNDS TO BIBLE SCHOOLS

    SCOTUS TOOK FUNDING FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

    THIS IS BLATANT MISUSE OF POWER BY SCOTUS !

    IT CANNOT CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION WITH GOING THROUGH A CONSTITUTION AMMENDMENT PROCESS!

  13. All government officials should be audited yearly, a lot of them came in politics penniless and came out as millionaires.

  14. I would release my tax returns but they’ve been under audit since 2015

  15. Criminals investigating criminals something tells me they get along fine.

  16. Look into the audits of the Tea Party during the Obama administration.

  17. Orange man has exposed all of our corruption and for that he must be impeached at least four times 😂

  18. Nothing to hide Nothing to worry about

  19. Those two are both traders,They should pay the price

  20. The Left doesn’t like it when others use their tactics 😂✊🏻🇺🇸

  21. Comey overpaid and got a refund of about $350.
    Then we get to McCabe. He under paid. Yet no mention of how much he cheated the Government out of.
    Interesting. So it's safe to say that it's over $350. the question is how much over?
    Off to Google

  22. Sounds familiar. Which other President weaponized the IRS? I remember something about the Tea Party being targeted by the IRS.

  23. Weird when conservatives accused the OBAMA BIDEN WHITE HOUSE of doing the same thing to conservatives. Liberals laughed and half said it wasn't even possible and the other half said so what? Why would you fake outrage about the same situation now?

  24. Oxymoron, "FBI investigating Comey"
    This is totally false reporting coming from a left wing rag

  25. Hey does anybody remember when Barack Obama weaponized the IRS to go after tea party members and others
