Apparently there are more than one Republican speaking out for release of Trump’s tax returns (see below). Nevertheless, while Iowan Republican congressman David Young says it’s a “no-brainer,” the same guy refused to sign a letter from other Republicans requesting it. Such is the climate of political fear in the Republican Party.
Intimidation is Trump’s time-tested tactic, whether it’s over Democrats, the press, the judiciary, minorities of various ethnic, racial, religious, cultural, physically or mentally handicapped, or various political stripes (nothing to do with ideology, only whether they comply with any Trumpian whim. Also members of his own party about whom he has no compunction in attacking with a tweet. He’s used to bullying and insulting people in his own business and making it work for him; it seems not yet to have occurred to him that it doesn’t work to bully everyone. (The example of Paul Ryan notwithstanding. I don’t believe Ryan fears Trump; rather he thinks he can use Trump. Good luck, )
Republicans call for release of tax returns
It seems that an increasing number of people are coming around to ther recollection that “The only thing for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing,” said by Edmund Burke in the 18th Century( if he were alive today, I think he would have included women as well). It appears that the Republicans who are doing nothing must have something else on their minds, such as the next primary.
I am glad that your are doing the very substantial SOMETHING, good man!
But I don’t like that I have to post my details every time I comment. Can’t your system remember returnees?
