Orange maggots handpicked IRS chief who he wants McConnell to ram though is another fixer and

Th acting IRS commissioner has financial ties to the orange maggot!

President Trump personally lobbied Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to prioritize the confirmation of his nominated Internal Revenue Service chief counsel on Feb. 5, about the time House Democrats started talking seriously about telling the IRS to turn over Trump's tax returns, The New York Times reports. On Feb. 27, the Senate confirmed the nominee, California tax lawyer Michael Desmond, and now Desmond will be advising the IRS on how to respond to House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal's (D-Mass.) request for six years of Trump's personal and business tax reTurns.

Trump's IRS commissioner, Charles Rettig, meanwhile, owns 50 percent shares of two one-bedroom residential rental units in the Waikiki Trump International Hotel and Tower in Hawaii, each worth $1.1 million, The Wall Street Journal reported last June, before Rettig's confirmation hearing. And as ProPublica and WNYC noted in October, Rettig — then a California tax attorney — argued in Forbes in February 2016 that Trump shouldn't release his tax returns, four days after Trump unveiled his dubious "I'm under audit" excuse for keeping his returns secret.

The corruption from this administration is like raw sewage spewing from every sewer. If a Democratic President even had one percent of this corruption the repuke would be having televised hearings 24/7 screaming blood murder.

This is what I say about the orange maggot. ****warning explicit language *****

His butt is on the line. From the probe to his tax returns, his acts of desperation are infantile. Anybody but anybody can sense the paranoia that is swirling like a hurricane in his orange head. Why isn’t this obvious even to the staunchest tRump supporter? The man is nuts.

The Righties used to (at least pretend) to care SO MUCH about so many things they absolutely do not give a shit about anymore, as long as the Orange Maggot does their bidding and strokes them and their petty grievances. It's pathetic to witness.

Also, RIP Nipsey

When a right winger was attacking my when because he said the orange maggot was a Russian asset and a con man. The right winger walked away and was shut down.

Now I play it to feel better. I also had my 68 year old sister look at the video and she said she’s watched it many times now. Even though it’s a 3 year old video it is uplifting in its own way.
