4. Our CINC has no respect or belief in our intelligence or law enforcement arms of government. 5. He loots the financial sector without any checks and balances. 6. This was guaranteed when he refused to provide IRS data as a candidate.
While I was disappointed by Obama's performance, I am genuinely concerned for the future I am leaving for my children, and generations to come. It will take a generation to recovery.
So I say, WTF happened? How did we go from a beacon of democracy to be emulated to almost a third world CINC.

So, bear with me as I unpack all of this one by one.
1. Trump's comment was a comparison of Putin as leader for Russia to Obama as a leader of U.S. I would agree that Putin is a stronger leader in that he is putting Rusian interests first. Can't say that about Obama.
2. It was a comment wrt to HRC's deleted 33,000 emails. IRC, shortly before this comment foreign gov'ts were thought to have hacked HRC's server. He made this comment sarcastically.
3. I recall the comment you are referring to. Once again you are failing to recognize humor/sarcasm.
4. Based upon what evidence?
5. Same question.
6. No requirement to release tax returns and frankly, given the complexity of the tax code, I would not release mine either. Too much opportunity for misinformation and disinformation IMO and having to explain reasoning for taking deductions or not. Trump did release detailed financial statements that are far more relevant IMO.
Frankly, Bushmaster, your entire post strikes me as a regurgitation of progressive talking points with no original thought, explanation of your point of view, or references to substantiate assertions that are mere opinions represented as fact.
Now, you have been on this forum long enough to know better. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are under the effects from drinking too much of the progressive kool-aid. So please, when those effects have worn off, try again.
