Has anyone heard of what Rep Richie Neal of the Ways and Means Committee

is doing about Trumps personnel and business taxes?

I just read my spring issue of the American Prospect on this matter, and if, what he is doing is correct, this is unacceptable.

I just finished my taxes and I have to pay over $2,000.00 in Federal taxes, and I have to pay over $300.00 a quarter in state taxes and I live off social security.
Because after all the Paul Ryan's and the fascists libertarians got a 1.5 trillion tax cut, that next year will be more regressive to the individual taxpayer and better for the corporations and the wealthy and their bullshit, that don't pay now, like Amazon, Facebook, Wells Fargo, Boeing, for starter and people that have PASS THROUGH income property, like Corker (retired form US Senate) and other fat cat POS's.

I realize the article is two weeks behind, but I haven't heard anything or any announcements, this is not what we voted for last November, not one iota of our mandate on this trump and family taxes, we want to see those returns at the personnel and business side of the criminal enterprise, and if Neal is only pushing for the personnel stuff that not good enough, the business side will tell what he has been doing for years..........................like not paying and who has been giving him money.................and who if any state actors might be you know blackmailing this jerk along with his family and other associates, just like the security clearances issues keeps coming out on how these people, who can and are probably compromised........................... .

And ask Rep. Neal what he is going to do about the entirety of trumps tax returns, personnel and business ....................

Gorsuch just handed down the most bloodthirsty and cruel death penalty opinion of the modern era

The Supreme Court just tossed decades worth of Eighth Amendment law into the wastebasket.

The Supreme Court’s opinion in Bucklew v. Precythe, which it handed down Monday on a party-line vote, is at once the most significant Eighth Amendment decision of the last several decades and the cruelest in at least as much time.

Neil Gorsuch’s majority opinion tosses out a basic assumption that animated the Court’s understanding of what constitutes a “cruel and unusual” punishment for more than half a century. In the process, he writes that the state of Missouri may effectively torture a man to death — so long as it does not gratuitously inflict pain for the sheer purpose of inflicting pain.

And, on top of all of that, Gorsuch would conscript death penalty defense attorneys — men and women who often gave up lucrative legal careers to protect the lives of their clients — into the ghoulish task of laying out the method that will be used to kill those clients.

It’s a breathtaking sign of just how much the Supreme Court’s new majority is willing to change — and how quickly they are willing to impose that change on the rest of us.

And just think on how he thought about the truck driver that was sitting a truck in the middle of winter and him ruling for the company........................this POS just needs to be IMPEACHED.....................Al Franken made the public aware of what this asshole is like......................
