Every President for years has released his tax returns voluntarily. Unless you're hiding something there's no reason to ignore that precedent.

Also Trump is an overweight senior citizen. He's a prime target to die from Covid. Unsurprisingly Biden tested negative. Who knows maybe Trump was wrong about questioning the necessity of masks. Just like he was wrong about promising Mexico would pay for a border wall. Or that prior to the pandemic he would lower the deficit.

The death rate for obese old people is still really low. He's also not morbidly obese and he's in decent shape. He's not the type that sits on their ass all day long. I agree that those two risk factors increase the chances he'll die, but the chances overall are so low that I don't think it'll be a problem.

Just because everyone else released their private tax returns doesn't mean you have to. If Trump wants to keep his private affairs private that is his choice and should be able to choose to without people harping on him. Just because you don't want others up in your business doesn't mean you have anything to hide especially when the "others" have stated they want them to fuck him over. They've planned to go after him before they even know if there's any irregularities regardless if he did wrong or not. The fucked up people are the ones demanding they see his taxes and the ones who want to ruin him. Plus the IRS already has them. He's not a bad person for wanting to keep his personal information to himself. You're the bad person.

Trump has also kept most of his campaign promises. That's far better than his predecessor or other Government figures.

Trump had three big campaign promises:

-Mexico would pay for the border wall
-Repeal and replace the ACA (which was made easier to accomplish with the two years of GOP controlled House and Senate prior to 2019.)
-Lower the deficit

None were accomplished.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
