I think Greg and Rich believe it's on us because we don't speak MAGA. For instance, here's Lauren Boebert today calling out Marjorie Taylor Green on Jewish space lasers:
“I’ve been asked to explain MTG’s belief in Jewish space lasers, why she showed up to a white supremacist’s conference, and now why she’s blindly following Kevin McCarthy and I’m not going to go there,” Boebert said.

Additionally, here are two Trump supporters explaining MAGA and Trump:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmQr2kFEU4U

It is impossible for him to know anything of the sort, so he's just guessing at best.  
Well, for one thing, he has a masters degree in public policy from the Harvard-Kennedy School and he serves on both the appropriations and insurance committees in congress so it's likely he knows a thing or two about business deductions...
Course curriculum for the master's degree: " Students learn about policy and program analysis and development in nonprofit, public, and private sectors through statistics, economics, politics, and research."

LOL!  Oh man, you never fail to deliver the finest comedy on Your Moron TV channel do you?

Well, there you are folks, he has a master's degree and so he knows that Donald Trump's business deductions were unlawful.

Tell me something Einstein, have you ever filled out a business tax form in your life?

Do you think that when I mail in my taxes each year that I put all my receipts in a bag and then send them off to Uncle Sam?

I'm guessing that you're dumb enough to probably believe that.

What a God Damned idiot you truly are.   tongue
The idiot is you...A core curriculum component of a masters in public policy includes: "principles of taxation and expenditure analysis,..."

Your response provides us with the ability to understand that you haven't the vaguest idea of what is provided to the IRS as far as a deduction sheet is concerned.  

Go back and start a business and then fill out the necessary tax forms and maybe you'll understand just how ignorant your assertions are.  

Calling you a complete fool would be a raging insult to someone who is only a complete fool.  

You are light years past that..  smile
Tell that to the nonpartisan accountants in post 14 who agree with the congressman. It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about and the light in your gorde doesn't compete with that single dimming light bulb in your dank basement dwelling of your mother's home...

Rather than just doing your usual regurgitations, try rubbing together those very few brain cells you have and explain exactly what was taken in the deductions which you can prove was illegal.  

And I always love the obligatory preparatory commentary you make citing "Nonpartisan" accountants.... meaning accountants who will provide you with the that political fodder that you crave.  wink

I'll wait for your list of illegal deductions.  
Oh, obtuse moron,  since Trump's taxes have yet to be released to the public, but may on Tuesday, and since you state that a congressman with a master's degree in public policy isn't qualified to comment on what he has seen, nor are the non-partisan accountants, as per you, then how is it feasible for me to generate a list of illegal deductions which I am not, according to you, qualified to provide in the first place?
Finally, other than filling out your own self described business taxes, what makes you an expert in such matters and what specific education in tax courses have you taken?

I realize you've never done a Business tax form in your life, so you may want to get a clue.

You are the one making the charge that he took illegal deductions so it is on You to prove your accusations.  smile

Fact is that You can't.
Oh, obtuse moron, these aren't my accusations, they're the ones from the non-partisan accountants and from the congressman who have seen Trump's returns. And if the deductions they've noted aren't legitimate in the first place then it doesn't matter if he has receipts for those, either.
And, of course you're no expert on taxes but you're complaining about those accountants who have looked at Trump's returns and who are experts...

Sean Hannity Under Oath: Trump's Voter Fraud Claims Bogus

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Fox News host Sean Hannity admitted under oath that he “did not believe” for “one second” there was mass voter fraud in the 2020 election."
"Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for Dominion, made the case at the hearing that the company has strong evidence that Fox News journalists knew claims about mass voter fraud in the 2020 election were false but chose to amplify them anyway, the Times reported."
“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” he said, according to the Times."
"Those include Fox News hosts Meade Cooper and prime-time star Tucker Carlson, Shackelford said."

The case goes to the jury for a verdict in April, can't wait for this one not to mention the suit from Smartmatic...
