More on my argument with Susan, the Trump hating Democrat.

See part I here.
Susan says:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/19/yes-there-was-collusion/

I agree with the author and as far as taxes go. Trump's taxes are complicated I agree. He's been manipulating the value of his properties for years fraudulently. How do you feel about him not paying any federal income tax? My family paid quite a bit.

I reply:

Susan Longinette, first I just have to yawn at that WaPo article; WaPo has been waging a war against Trump all along and I take what they say with a huge grain of salt, and most especially from Jennifer Rubin, who has always hated Trump.

Second, this is a report based on another newspaper report also from WaPo. THAT report admitted there was no evidence:

"the nearly 1,000-page Senate document does not explicitly accuse the Trump campaign of direct collusion with Russian intelligence" End quote.

So we are once again treated to discussions about dog whistles and the APPEARANCE of impropriety.

And again, there is a huge difference between having contacts with a foreign entity you are going to be dealing with and collusion. Strange how eager you are to believe THIS and think the Russians stole the election from Hillary (who you should be able to admit was a terrible candidate) and yet you deny any skullduggery in this last election because it was your side that stole it.

Uh, Susan; if there was anything that could be proven don't you think the Democrats would have impeached Donald Trump over it? Why did they not include that in their impeachment last year? You know the reason Susan.

I would point out that then Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was forced to step down for insider trading. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, he was under duress? And Susan, you do not seem able to grasp the fact that the Republicans wanted Trump out almost as badly as did the Democrats. Certainly Mark Warner, another member of the Senate Intel Committee, hated Trump. They hated him because he showed them up and took over "their" party. This is not just a partisan thing.

Also the Senate Intel Committee largely exhonerated Trump. See here https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/21/senate-intel-committee-still-running-interference-for-russia-collusion-nonsense/ here https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/03/senate-intelligence-russian-active-measures/ and here https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/18/senate-intelligence-cmte-no-collusion-trump-russia/ In all of these it is clear that Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing.

But it also showed how the FBI tried to frame Trump with the Steele Dossier among other things. You conventiently ignore that. The report was quite critical of that fact.

It was a nice try but in the end it failed. There was nothing illegal done by Trump here.

Now, why are you not concerned with Joe Biden's foreign entanglements? You are not concerned that Biden's son was being paid by the Ukrainians, and that he was kicking money back to his father. https://nypost.com/2020/10/24/biden-corruption-claims-all-but-confirmed-with-hunter-emails/ You aren't concerned about Biden's many contacts with China.  https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/22/hunter-biden-associate-confirms-joe-biden-stood-to-rake-in-millions-from-chinese-business-leaders/ and https://nypost.com/2020/10/22/hunter-biz-partner-confirms-e-mail-details-joe-bidens-push-to-make-millions-from-china/

If you think Trump should be held to strict accountability over Russia why are you so forgiving of China Joe? https://townhall.com/columnists/robertchernin/2020/10/31/the-chinese-connection-from-the-clintons-to-biden-inc-n2578961 BTW China launched a series of cyber attacks on the U.S. just prior to the last election. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/i6tquh/china_targeting_us_election_infrastructure_with/?utm_source=BD&utm_medium=Search&utm_name=Bing&utm_content=PSR3

The Biden Center received some 22 million from the Chinese Communists, BTW.

And why do you think Russia could markedly influence the 2016 election but that it was impossible for Americans to manipulate the '20 election?

BTW Susan you don't know anything about Trump's taxes and you should not pretend to. There was one leak CLAIMING Trump didn't pay his taxes. But actually what it claimed was likely what Trump paid to have his taxes DONE by an accountant in all probability. And leaking tax information without authorization is a crime, by the way. Trump paid millions in taxes https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/10/01/carney-new-york-times-is-wrong-trump-paid-millions-taxes-2017/ and provided a lot of jobs for a lot of people in the process. Or are you against jobs?

Also, any businessman is supposed to minimize his tax burden. We have usurious tax rates in this country and if a businessman did not do so he would be out of business. I have no problem with Mr. Trump minimizing his tax burden; I do the same and I know full well you do too Susan. That Trump admits that fact is one of his more endearing qualities. Just because you hate him and resent wealth doesn't excuse it.
