Under threat of subpoena, he voluntarily appeared and then just talked like a sixth grader to kill the time. 

 

 

Hypocrisy. Trump complained about it for so long then increased it. All while shrinking tax returns to middle class. Trump scam! 

Just what does this mean?

That they cut taxes for the middle class, Less taxes being taken out, more for you to spend or save during the year and less of your own money coming back the next year.

The average tax refund check is down 8 percent this year, the IRS reported, and the number of people receiving a refund has dropped by almost a quarter.

OK, one more time Gleeful Gator, what does "shrinking tax returns" mean? Did you mean to say "shrinking tax refunds" or is it just that the return has fewer pages? Is a return the same as a refund?

"Many Americans are upset they didn't overpay their 2018 taxes by as much."

 

That's how stupid this is.

The Senate voted Tuesday to advance the nomination of William Barr, President Trump’s pick to serve as attorney general, to a final vote.

 

Barr’s confirmation cleared a procedural hurdle along mostly party lines, in a 55-44 vote. The vote followed a contentious Judiciary Committee hearing last week in which Democrats questioned Barr’s ability to fairly oversee special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russians.

 

Barr won the overwhelming support of Republican senators, who praised his long career as a lawyer and former attorney general for President George H.W. Bush.

 

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called Barr “a tried and true public servant and a proven professional” who is committed to upholding the rule of law.

 

Despite initial support from senior Democratic lawmakers, Barr ended up passing with few Democratic votes.
