I'm saying this is really pretty much a non-story, which is a major disappointment to the Trump haters of the world.

A) I think you're blowing it largely out of proportion.
B) I think it might be a major disappointment to cable news obsessed trump haters. Most of us realize that 2 pages of a tax return doesn't tell you anything so it's a nonstory not in the "he didn't do anything" sense like you're framing it but in the theres no difference between releasing this and releasing nothing.

It's just another fake news story. Democrats continue to sink lower.

Unprecedented obstructionism and treason isn't a good look for the left.

Was waiting for President Trump to release a copy of an IRS audit notification then it dawned on me he doesn't need to since he won't release tax returns. No reason to confirm audits when no taxes returns will ever be willingly released.

Chelsea Clinton to get lifetime achievement award

Chelsea Clinton will be honored with a lifetime achievement award from Variety next month, the magazine announced Tuesday.

The 37-year-old former first daughter, a vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, is rumored to be eyeing a run for a New York Senate seat in 2020 should Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) decide to run for president, the New York Daily News reported last month.

Variety will hand out its lifetime achievement awards during its annual “Women in Power” luncheon at the ritzy Cipriani restaurant in midtown Manhattan on April 18.

Its crazy to think that the entire mainstream media in this country are complete partisan shiils for the left, and it needs to be that extreme for Democrats to even be a party.

Imagine if Republicans had the media in their back pockets. Democratic party wouldn't eveb exist, I don't think.

More fake news.....

MORE FAKE NEWS FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES

This lengthy New York Times story is unintentionally hilarious. Here is the headline: “Amid ‘Trump Effect’ Fear, 40% of Colleges See Dip in Foreign Applicants.” Just for fun, a screen shot:

Note that the headline doesn’t say there has been a 40% drop in foreign applications, but rather that 40% of institutions have seen a drop. Meaning that 60% haven’t.

And so on, endlessly. But here’s the point: if you look at the survey the Times article is based on, this is what you find:

39% of responding institutions reported a decline in international applications, 35% reported an increase, and 26% reported no change in applicant numbers.

That’s right: the Times headline equally well could have read, “Thanks to President Trump, 35% of Colleges See Increase in Foreign Applicants.”

The Times long ago gave up on being a respectable newspaper. It is now, purely and simply, an organ of the Democratic Party.

Government shutdowns: a tale of two media narratives

The next chapter of the Resist! movement is beginning to build up a head of steam and it centers around the possibility that an impasse on spending authorization could lead to a government shutdown. This is something which nobody wants to see… unless they are politicians who might get some mileage out of it or media mavens looking to tell a story. As for the rank and file taxpayers around the country, how will this debacle be portrayed if it happens? We get a peek at things to come from the Washington Post this weekend. Check out this piece from Kelsey Snell and see if you can detect a bit of a… “tone” here.

Did you catch that? “Power”

“Leverage”

“Reassert themselves”

“Negotiating”

Sounds absolutely heroic, doesn’t it? The party in power can be brought to heel if the Democrats can cleverly exercise their power.

Compare that to a different story. This one was unfolding in October of 2013. You will recall that during that period the Democrats held the White House and the majority in the Senate, with enough House seats to cause headaches for John Boehner any time they felt like it. And there was a government shutdown starting. How did the Washington Post describe it then?

So if the GOP is in the minority and they obstruct the passage of a spending bill, they get the blame. But if they are in control and the Democrats are in the minority and out of the White House… the GOP gets the blame. See how that works? Get ready for more of the same as the end of April gets closer if we don’t have some sort of viable budget deal on the horizon. I just wanted to put this out there as an early stake in the ground because you can smell the narrative coming like a cow patty on a griddle.

Republicans control Congress and the White House. If there is a shut down, they will get blamed.

I guess Trump could blame the Democrats...like he did with TrumpCare, but most intelligent people see through that.

The pubs detachment from reality can be summed up here. You control D.C. And they will pass blame still. WTF is mentally wrong with these people?

It's like that chart comparing Trumps first quarter with Obama's. We were a pubic hair from a depression because of Bush and banking policies but the pubs are able to suspend reality like they're watching a movie and believe the playing field was the same with Trump and Obamas first quarter.

I do believe they are the American Hamas, you can't reason with them. Just ignore or kick them in the balls but don't try to reason with them.

30,000 retweets and no change.

Patriots' turnout for President Obama in 2015 vs. Patriots' turnout for President Trump today: http://nyti.ms/2o4Kwj7

However, on Wednesday night, the Patriots responded to the tweet, saying the side-by-side photos “lack context.”

“In 2015, over 40 football staff were on the stairs. In 2017, they were seated on the South Lawn,” the team’s official account tweeted.

Before that response, the team tweeted a photo with a larger crowd surrounding the president Wednesday.

From YOUR link:

"According to The Boston Globe, 34 Patriots players were at the White House to visit with Trump. In 2015, the number was “around 50.” "

And are you (still) seriously calling for tweets to be corrected?

Does the President correct his? Have you called for him to correct his tweets? Or are you just biased?
