Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

You mean to suggest Scott Bessent and Pam Bondi won't treat this lawsuit fairly and impartially? How dare you!
It's not a criminal complaint, it's civil. The doj has fuck all to do with civil matters.
The DOJ defends civil litigation against the federal government as well.

You mean the tax returns he was supposed to voluntarily release, himself?
All the presidents combined for the last century have only amassed $40 million in wealth while in office despite the whining and complaining by the right about the Clintons or Obama. All of them, combined, a century’s worth…$40 million
Trump has stuffed his pockets with $3 billion in since he got elected. In one year.
What a disgusting billionaire worshiping sick country the US has become, just sickening
They will end up settling out of court for half that and he'll laugh all the way to the bank. Another grift executed.
I'll never forgive the assholes that voted this piece of shit into office again. I feel dumber every time I read this childish bullshit, and sad for humanity seeing the homuculi that applaud stupidity.
I’ll never forgive the assholes that voted this piece of shit into office
You shouldn't.
What a sniveling cunt.
Definition of chode
I am so sick and tired of this fucking LEECH. Everything about that thing is horrid. Every little thing. Zero redeeming qualities. He is a disgusting parasite.
The world would be better place...
His stupidity, lack of historical knowledge, and his vainglory that has led him to surround himself with Yes Men and the like are all redeeming qualities in a sense because they stop him from achieving his callous agenda as much. But no he does not have any traditional virtue.
Based on what little I know of this, myself only being versed in Bird Law, doesn't the IRS enjoy sovereign immunity as a governmental entity? They can just declare that they do not agree to being sued.
Yeah, but they're an executive agency, so Trump can just fire anyone who says no, until they get to someone who will agree to let the lawsuit proceed.

He’s suing all of us. We are the government.
He's stealing our money
OUR. FUCKING. MONEY.
obligatory: fuck izrael too
Yea but at least some poor person isn’t getting your hard-earned dollar to get treatment for something for free. /s
I feel the same about all of these headlines.
No matter how conservative you are, how can you support this? Its just nuts.
Trump: I would like to sue the Office of the President of the USA for $10 billion dollars.
Taxpayers: But, you are the President.
Trump: Oh great, I’ll settle with myself for $5 billion dollars. Send a check.
Taxpayers:
It's not only for $10b because his lawyer 'intepreted' "a hundred hundred gazillion bigly dollars" at an actual amount rather than trying to explain how numbers work.
How can he show damages when all the other presidents released theirs?
That's the best part: he doesn't have to. He can just order IRS to settle.

I can’t believe it took this long for someone to realize they can just openly plunder and get away with it. Or that we sit around and let it happen.
Previously they didn't have half of Congress and the Supreme Court willing to rubber stamp everything up to and including outright treason.
Eat my ass you irredeemable cunt
What a doofus. He could've asked for 10 billion and fifty dollars. Now he's going to be 50$ short some day.
Watch the fucking system eat itself alive
He better be careful. Not even the Joker said he would go against the IRS in Batman.
That's because the joker never was in charge of the federal government.
That being said, I think joker as president would be a nice step up... he's chaotic as hell, but he hates indiscriminately, he explicitly will not work with nazi's (If I recall a crossover had him meet red skull, who he opposed the second he realized he was a real nazi).
"You see, I'm demanding maybe the most anyone has ever demanded. They come up to me and tell me: sir, no one has ever demanded this much. I sued them for eleventyseven zillion dollars"

What damages? How about we dig into all the fraud on avoiding paying taxes on all that money daddy gave him?

Theft
you gotta use the translator:
“The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,” a Trump spokesperson said in a statement.
“The IRS employee exposed factual, damning information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then obviously released to millions of people,” a rational person should take from that statement.
