  2.  @michelleturner8558  It's not possible to lose the speakership to the dems, since they don't have the majority.

  10.  @mattfoley6082  The New York Times' claim that President Donald Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 is wrong, based on a flawed understanding of how taxes are paid. The figures below, drawn from the New York Times's own analysis of Trump's tax-return data for 2017, show that Trump paid $7,435,857 in taxes in 2017.

  11.  @mattfoley6082  More simply: Trump used a government-created tax asset to pay his taxes. The payment reduced his worth by the equivalent of the credit. To put it slightly differently, when the government wants to provision itself with resources or convince someone to perform work it wants done, it has a choice. It can pay in cash or with a credit. Both of these things can be used to pay taxes, which is one of the reasons nearly every one accepts them as payment. Trump paid most of his bill with the credit and a small part in cash. But he paid all of his $7.4 million tax bill. To the penny. To argue that this does not count as paying millions of dollars in taxes is equivalent to arguing that every single one of us who does not have to cut a check on tax day, because we built up a credit through withholding, is not paying our taxes. The argument would also badly hurt the U.S. government’s ability to coax households and businesses into undertaking projects for the public good in exchange for credits. Instead, the government would be forced to make cash payments because only these would count as tax payments. The Times, in its eagerness to create a scandal around Trump’s tax records, has simply gotten the most well-known part of its story wrong.

  13.  @mattfoley6082  Even if he did lie (he didn't), so what? His taxes are his business, nobody else's. Now, Congress should compel Joe Biden to release all the tax returns for his shell companies through which he refeives his foreign payments. And if lying were a sport, Joe Biden would be the world champion.
