I'll never forget when MicroSoft came out with Drinkserver 95.

Sorry, they didn't build that.

And here I thought she couldn't read at all.

Sine poena nulla lex.

Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight Committee, sought to lay the groundwork for lawmakers to potentially subpoena employees of the Trump Organization -- including its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, who Cohen said was privy to Trump's various money maneuvers and who received immunity from federal prosecutors in New York to testify against Cohen prior to the attorney's guilty plea on federal campaign finance violations last August.


"What you do is, you deflate the value of the asset and then you put in a request to the tax department for a deduction," said Cohen when Ocasio-Cortez asked how Trump attempted to reduce his tax burden.

"And would it help for the committee to obtain federal and state tax returns from the president and his company to address that discrepancy?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
"I believe so," Cohen answered.

Looks to me like two different taxes - Property Taxes vs Income Taxes

Certainly not everybody. Like thinking Nancy Pelosi gives two shlts about anything she has to say. Like when she said that she "appreciated" AOC's "enthusiasm"

Good lord some people are just brainwashed stupid.

Her arrogance is limitless.

Definitely not full of herself. She'd probably go on a hunger strike if she didn't get all her twitter love.

She said "learning in the job"

I noticed that too. What a weird-o.

Couldn't afford it? Couldn't she just treat it like a multi-trillion dollar Green New Deal and have had her fellow and all future generations of law students pay it for her?

I've come to lose jobs and chew hay...and I'm all outta hay.

Yeah... imagine that starring down on you. That is some serious stupid looking down on people.

Just show the American Dream is alive and available to even the dumbest among us.

If that is the case, this is just like claiming lower refunds is proof Trump's tax plan was deceitful. Every property owner is trying to undervalue their property value for ad valorem tax purposes.

There is no income tax deduction for property losing its value unless there was a casualty loss or you sold it to a third party at a loss.

She's got the skills it seems to excel in politics.

Her greatest attribute is her Confidence.

It's the foundation of the confidence man, or con man.

If she didn't reveal her ignorance and foolishness through some of her statements, she'd do even better. Her ignorance may get the best of her.

The propensity for people to blindly believe what they want to hear, and to blindly accept what aligns with their existing beliefs, has provided AOC a following of progressives with weapons grade ignorance.

I can just see Cohen at bar closing time nursing his sixth scotch and water with a tough decision to make. The one in the middle looks interested.

Trump has most likely been audited for the last x years. If he does have some sort of tax scheme going on, the IRS or the auditors that have been looking and doing the auditing work for the Trump organization would most likely have highlighted or delved a little deeper.

It is always a good sign when a lawyer is trying to talk about taxes like he understands the laws and regulations surrounding that aspect. But he is in Washington, so everyone knows everything I guess.

I thought it was revealed that the IRS was all up in Trump with an Audit, which was one of the reasons he used to not release his tax returns.

The House is no place to prosecute Tax cases... that is what we pay the IRS to do.

This is just another attempt to attack Trump.

Shameful.

Wow she established that Trump the business man routinely schemed to undervalue property and assets with taxing authorities. Seriously, who does that!! She got him!

The replies to this one are worth looking at:

She worked twice as hard and still does.

Oh that's from 2 days ago. I'm guessing it's been discussed. Carry on.

Is it really hard work to read questions someone else prepared?
No and not impressed in the least.
