    I'm no fan of Trump. Like...not at all. But I never got all the handwringing over his tax returns. Of all the things to give a fuck about, that just didn't seem like it should have even made the list.
    Agreed. I could not care less. We know that rich people skirt paying their taxes thru a whole lot of different means. That’s government’s fault. Maybe they should fix that? I dunno call me crazy

    Trump's DOGE gets rid of the programs he doesn't like. AOC's DOGE goes in next term and gets rid of the programs she doesn't like. Boom, problem solved in 6-7 years!

    Also, I think it's way too early to know on DOGE. Hopefully there is a lot of deep work being done beyond the headlines and Musk's goofy tweets.

    I’ll call you crazy!! Kidding but both parties have been in charge yet neither has fixed the tax loopholes. Why? Could it happen to be how much these rich people donate to these political puppets and political unions?

    It seems Musk doesn't work for DOGE, and can't give orders. (Wink, wink)

    Wonder which 22 year old is really in charge?
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.
