The U.S. Department of Justice bars the IRS from conducting any investigation or probes into any past tax declaration of Trump, his family, or any of his companies, for ever.

    You know what’s fun about tossing out DOJ impartiality? The next president can literally tell their AJ to rip this up and write a memo that anyone trump ever looked at must be investigated.

    How is this even possible? How can an autocratic admin simply except itself from justice? What happened to checks/balances? What happened to “We the people”?

      So I found more articles on it and apparently it is just those tax returns SPECIFICALLY, in the future they can audit different taxreturns

        I had read somewhere that Biden wasn’t going to, but his people convinced him a lot of people who did a lot more woudl be pardoned by Trump just because, so just be with your dang son.

          I read somewhere that Biden super duper never ever would pardon his own son because “honesty and integrity really mattererd to the DNC” but then he did despite nobody wanting him to.

    Ripping off the band-aid hurts like hell. The empire will fall. The angels will block the four quarters with flaming swords so we can’t return. The question is, will we follow the same patterns since time immemorial, or learn and integrate our lessons with a bit more wisdom, courage, and determination? Inshallah, ojalá, the latter.
