Diminishing Returns

Donald Trump's tax returns may or may not make any electoral difference. 

But they are embarrassing because, in general, people in the West tend to think, either that making huge losses is not the way to get rich, or at the very least that that is not how the system is supposed to work. 

But it is. And it is. And it does.

  1. What’s more important is Donald Trump has confirmed Coney-Barrett could overturn Roe v Wade ahead of the hearings. The Democrats famously blocked Ronald Reagan’s pro-life Supreme Court pick Robert Bork. But they can’t block Amy Coney-Barrett.

    Nancy Pelosi and co are disgracefully threatening to instead “pack” the Supreme Court by granting statehood to DC and Puerto Rico. And the Left accuses Trump of lacking respect for the Constitution.

    Just look how the spittle-flecked Left reacts to this.

    1. It is not up to Trump, who has now done his bit. The Republicans in the Senate would never confirm any nominee who had not assured them that she would leave Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, and Obergefell v. Hodges in place. They got that out of Brett Kavanaugh. And they will get it out of Amy Coney Barrett, who likewise holds that her religious and philosophical beliefs should have no bearing on her rulings, the novel and un-Catholic view that is at the root of the problem, and which has no parallel on the other side. They will get it out of her. Or she will not be confirmed. By the Republicans.
