And now Cruz admits it was not a good decision. But that didn’t stop him from going! Better to ask for forgiveness than permission I guess. What a tool.

That position doesn't make a lot of sense, unless he admitted it wasn't a good decision prior to going. Or am I missing something? Don't get me wrong, I think he was a blockhead for going, but admitting he made a mistake seems to be a strange thing to bash on him for, even if he only did it because of the backlash.

Because that's what we see the right wingers do. It's the tit for tat thing, I do it, everyone who bellyaches about politics does it. Politicians have learned the little song and dance of doing something really douchey, get caught, oh, that wasn't the best decision, you'll notice he invoked "his family" his kids wanted a trip, even though that's ridiculous in the middle of a pandemic and then this catastrophe, but they do it, and they dance it as many times as they can. The chances of it really sticking, is pretty slim, given his support would have only waned just enough, that he can sign some things, and get on a soapbox to pontificate about the hard werkin American (PATRIOT!) blah blah, and hopefully when it comes to vote time which I think is every 6 years for him, they will have forgotten and... SOCIALIST!!! (instead of squirrel!).
Yeah yeah I know, Trudeau, Obama, whatever. Same stuff, insert party here.
But what I find incredible, is Trump pulled off some the biggest scams out of all of them, and people still defend him! Bu bu bu but the economy! Oh he isn't a REAL politician (yeah just a scam artist is all...) That one isn't really about republican vs democrat anymore.
Trump really should rename his book, the art of the distraction.

I think you nailed it. He wouldn’t be admitting anything without the backlash.

California's Governor Newsom certainly wasn't ready to apologize without a backlash.

And they'll just still, keep kickin the can LOL.
While that useless stuff goes around in circles, in the real world, we have this item: https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...053b14-751c-11eb-8115-9ad5e9c02117_story.html
if its behind a paywall (ie you've read your free articles for a month) I think this is likely available elsewhere.
These investigations will march on. And we'll hear about how when it comes to Trump, magically the whole judiciary is stacked against Trump. "deep state", or whatever will get tossed around. You can count on it

Dominion sues MyPillow founder for $1.3 billion over election conspiracy theories
The lawsuit is Dominion's third against Trump allies since the election.
I say go after every single one of them. There's a whole pile of very gullible people out there still posting about dominion machine fraud, but these sorts don't seem to understand that despite having many chances in a court of law to prove these allegations, Trump's lawyers backed down every time. Do you think it'll ever dawn on these hillbillys? It might shock some people that social media is a much different place than a court of law. But they've been worked over to blur the lines. It's amazing how little effort it really took to get them to spread it on social media and forums everywhere with absolutely not a shred of evidence whatsoever.

well apparently he has much better places to have more enlightened conversations with more deserving people. Perhaps he can have pity on us enough that he can drop some more predictions.
In the meantime, Ive ordered more popcorn to watch as Trump falls deeper into the legal deep hole he's dug for himself.

No more hiding behind the curtains of the presidency it seems. Those tax returns should be interesting.

This will require a fair amount of popcorn. It will take some time for this to unfold, and we'll be treated to plenty of salacious details. To which Trump will of course use to his advantage to stay in the news, and stoke the deep state thing, which will of course, induce the hordes of dimwits to send whatever money they have into 'fight the deep state!', or whatever catch phrase is coined. They don't have to get too clever, I mean 'make America great again' went like wildfire. It doesn't take much to light up these brain cells. Praise the lord and pass the loot.
Im not holding my breath though. The Trumps were found guilty in that charity scam thing they ran, all that happened was they paid a fine and promised not to run another charity in NY, or was it that they're not allowed. Not even the fact that they were found guilty of that, and that the US president of the time couldn't run a charity in NY would make these fools stop and think for a second. Benghazi! But'er emails!!!! (never mind Bush/Cheney pulled the same sh!te...)
People have become immune to the flagrant crimes politicians commit. And actually believe the other side is the only one doing it.
Then we whine because our governments are corrupt.
You don't see many posts about the dominion voting machines these days do you

Why does anyone need to see his tax returns? If he is doing something illegal would that not be up to the auditors and government to charge? Would these things normally be made public for anyone else?

I don’t understand your question. Trump is being investigated by the New York state because that’s the part of ‘government’ responsible for going after this sort of crime. So they’re not just ‘anyone’. He is also at the same time in some trouble with the IRS who is investigating another matter that is in their jurisdiction.
unlike other presidents, trump has gone to great lengths to keep his tax info secret, and now the republican heavy Supreme Court agrees with releasing them to the states DA.
