Donald Trump, in response to a question during a 2020 presidential debate with Joe Biden, insisted that he closed down his bank account in China before his first campaign. But six years’ worth of Trump’s tax records, released Friday, reveal that wasn’t true.

“[I] had an account open, and I closed it,” Trump said with some irritation to moderator Kristen Welker, NBC White House correspondent, in the final debate of the campaign in October 2020. “I closed it before I even ran for President, let alone became President.”

Rep.-elect Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.), who served as the Democrats’ lead counsel in the first impeachment inquiry into Trump, noted that the former President had bank accounts in China until 2018, from 2015 to 2017, according to his tax records.

“Generally, you only have bank accounts in a foreign country if you are doing transactions in that country’s currency,” Goldman tweeted Friday. “What business was Trump doing in China while he was President?”

Trump, who had accounts in a number of countries and collected income from more than a dozen foreign nations while in office, paid more in taxes in 2020 to the Chinese government than he did in American federal income tax that year, his returns revealed.

Trump also lied a month earlier to then-Fox News commentator Chris Wallace, who pointedly asked him during the first presidential debate in 2020 if he’d paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, as The New York Times had reported (which Trump immediately blasted as “fake news”).

Trump angrily responded — twice — that he had paid “millions of dollars.” His returns revealed that indeed he had paid just $750 in federal income taxes in each of those years. Trump and his wife Melania paid no federal income tax in 2020, the last full year he was in office, according to the tax records.

In addition, Trump did not annually donate his $400,000 presidential salary to charity, as he has claimed. He declared no charitable contributions of any kind on his 2020 returns.

Among the early revelations emerging in Trump’s tax records, some of the most troubling involve his financial entanglements abroad while he was President, “highlighting a string of potential conflicts of interest,” Politico noted.

Trump had multiple bank accounts in a number of foreign countries, and collected millions of dollars in income from more than a dozen nations ― including Panama, the Philippines (whose onetime dictator, former President Rodrigo Duterte, he has praised) and the United Arab Emirates during the Trump administration.

While presidents routinely place assets in blind trusts while they’re in office, Trump’s eldest sons continued to openly operate the Trump Organization and forged deals around the world with nations affected by the Trump administration’s policies and expenditures.

Trump’s returns reveal hefty financial losses in the two years before he became President, some of which he carried forward to reduce tax bills.

Trump enjoyed an adjusted gross income of $15.8 million during his first three years in office. He paid $642,000 in federal income tax in 2015, $750 in 2016 and in 2017, just under $1 million in 2018, $133,000 in 2019 and nothing in 2020.

Donald Trump is comparing himself to Alexei Navalny. Of course Navalny is dead and Trump is still apparently alive despite drinking 12 Diet Cokes® a day and constantly stuffing himself with double cheeseburgers.

Republican former Rep. Joe Walsh called Trump "anti-American" and said he hoped Democrats would do the same.

He has a good point. For too long we have permitted rightwingers to define what it means to be American. Donald Trump is an anti-constitutional, pro-Russia wannabe dictator who is the personification of anti-Americanism.

For those too squeamish about anti-American, try dialing it down slightly and see if un-American works better for you.

It can feel liberating to write these. Try it yourself!...

Donald Trump is anti-American. Donald Trump is un-American.

Repeat that whenever he talks about becoming a dictator, praises foreign war criminals, or promises to take away voting rights or reproductive freedom.

And tell loudmouth Trumpsters that you're sick and tired of Donald Trump badmouthing America. Make them play defense and put them in the position of having to defend Trump's anti-American comments.

We need to position ourselves as the true Americans – in contrast to the Putin-loving MAGA crowd.

BONUS TRACK: Russian collusion with the MAGA GOP is a long term project. What could be more anti-American than collaborating with Vladimir Putin – a communist era colonel in the Soviet secret police?

Re the US House resolution against antiSemitism.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/politics/house-vote-resolution-condemning-antisemitism/index.html

First, I unequivocally agree with condemning antiSemitism. Whatever grievances one has against the current government of Israel or a state of Israel as a concept, collective condemnation of, hatred toward, or discrimination or violence against Jewish people is as immoral and evil as it would be against any other group which has historically been, and in many parts of the world still is, marginalized and under threat.

That said, the resolution is emphatically wrong when it equates anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. I will quote the article linked to above:

"Ahead of the vote, Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler and Daniel Goldman of New York and Jamie Raskin of Maryland urged their colleagues to vote "present" on the GOP resolution, describing it as a partisan attempt to score political points and saying that a bipartisan approach is needed.

Nadler, Goldman and Raskin on Monday introduced an alternative resolution that condemns antisemitism and calls on executive branch agencies and Congress to implement the Biden administration's national strategy to counter antisemitism.

In remarks on the House floor, Nadler pointed to language in the GOP resolution stating that "anti-Zionism is antisemitism."

"That is either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong," he said.

"The authors, if they were at all familiar with Jewish history and culture, should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was, and is, expressly not antisemitic," he said.

"Most anti-Zionism, particularly in this moment, has a real antisemitism problem. But we cannot fairly say that one equals the other," he said."

Having addressed what is wrong with this bill, though, I would also like to address what it is not.

It is NOT a law banning criticism of Israel or Zionism in the US. I'm already seeing the claim that it is "muzzling free speech" or similar, but to my knowledge, this resolution is simply a symbolic statement of opinion/principles by one branch of Congress, nothing more.* Further, an attempt to ban protected speech by law would of course be in violation of the First Amendment, and while US courts, especially Republican-controlled ones, have played fast and loose with the Constitution, courts tend if anything to err on the side of caution when it comes to the First Amendment.

There will be those who, in their efforts to support third parties and thereby split the opposition to Trump/Republicans, will try to use this bill, and the fact that some Democrats voted for it, to regurgitate the line that "both parties are the same", and to once again lay every atrocity real or alleged by the IDF and the Netanyahu regime at the feet of the Democratic Party. However, a glance at the actual results of the vote show that there is no equivalency between Democrats and Republicans on this bill, any more than on most issues. Yes, a fair number of Democrats voted for the bill. A similar number voted present, and all but one of the no votes were Democrats. The Democratic Party is divided on this resolution. The Republican Party is in lock-step support of it.

I do think it's probably fair to criticize the "present" votes for lacking the nerve to take a clearer stand, though I understand that many of them were justifiably concerned about the political effects of doing so. Most voters would likely never hear their nuanced explanation for their vote- just the soundbite in their opponents' adds and speeches saying Rep. so and so voted against condemning antiSemitism.

*I don't doubt that House Republicans would prohibit a wide-range of political speech if they could. But they are thankfully not currently in a position to do so.

S'il était possible de voir des réalités parallèles, j'aimerais trop voir un monde où Balavoine et Berger sont morts moins jeunes. Et j'aimerais aussi voir quel impact ça aurait eu sur la popularité de Goldman parce que je suis 1000% persuadée qu'il a la place qu'il a aujourd'hui dans le monde musical francophone parce qu'il y avait... un manque.

#je préfère goldman à balavoine et berger ÉVIDEMMENT mais le fait est qu'ils avaient tous les 3 le même public dans les années 80 #Jean-Jacques goldman #daniel balavoine #michel berger

Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan doesn't believe Rep. George Santos of New York will be able to hold onto his seat in the House of Representatives.

Before the midterm elections, The North Shore Leader published a story questioning Santos's source of income and real estate holdings. Before being sworn into Congress last week, The New York Times published a report revealing that he fabricated a large chunk of his resume. Reports continued to trickle out revealing he was dishonest about his life experiences, background, and more.

The revelations have led to calls for his resignation.

Ryan, who decided not to seek reelection in 2018 after serving as House Speaker, was asked about Santos by CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday.

"Congressman George Santos, he's lied about apparently everything on his resumé," Tapper said to Ryan, capping off a 12-minute interview. "At least six House Republicans have said he should resign, including five New York Republicans. Do you agree?"

"Sure, I agree," Ryan responded. "My guess is they'll probably let the Ethics Committee run its course."

Reps. Daniel Goldman and Ritchie Torres of New York filed an official complaint to the House Ethics committee seeking an investigation into Santos, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

"It's a fraudulent candidacy. This isn't an embellished candidacy, it's a fraudulent candidacy," Ryan added. "He hoaxed his voters. So, of course, he should step down."

Santos is the subject of campaign-finance-related complaints and is under investigation by New York prosecutors. He is also being investigated in Brazil on allegations that he used stolen checks. Still, Santos has made it clear on multiple occasions that he has no interest in stepping down.

"He doesn't strike me as an honorable person, though. I don't know the guy," Ryan said before the close of the interview. "I can't imagine the guy is going to stay very long."

Santos did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Rep. George Santos refused to resign Wednesday despite a parade of Republican Nassau County officials demanding he step down.

Officials from across Santos’ Long Island district and beyond gathered at the headquarters of the Nassau County Republican Committee to offer biting critiques of the newly sworn-in Republican. Critically, they pledged to cut Santos’ local support system off at the knees after he fabricated much of his resume and backstory during a successful Congressional campaign last year.

Santos “is a stain on the House of Representatives. He’s a stain on the 3rd Congressional District,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said at a media briefing. He added that he told his staff that any constituent calls to Congress “will now be referred to Congressman Anthony D’Esposito.”

D’Esposito, a Republican who represents a neighboring district, dialed into the press conference remotely to also call for Santos’ ouster. And later in the day, outgoing state GOP chair Nick Langworthy, a newly elected House member, said too that Santos should go.

“It’s clear that he cannot be an effective representative and it would be in the best interest of the taxpayers to have new leadership,” Langworthy said in a statement.

While the briefing was nominally aimed at Santos, the Nassau County GOP also appeared to be worried that their association with the controversial first-term representative could hurt their chances at expanding on recent electoral gains. The 3rd Congressional District that Santos just won, for example, was formerly held by Democrat Tom Suozzi.

“This scandalous behavior does damage to all of our reputations because there is a part of our public that is cynical about politicians and public officials,” said Richard Nicolello, the presiding officer of the Nassau County Legislature.

Speaker after speaker took to the microphone at the Westbury, N.Y., headquarters with unsparing criticism of Santos — and some expressed hurt that Santos had lied to them personally during endorsement interviews.

“We got into it, started getting personal about the fact that he came from a poor background but that he was able to be very successful,” Nassau County GOP Chair Joseph Cairo Jr. said. “He told me, I remember specifically, I’m into sports a little bit — that he was a star on the Baruch [College] volleyball team, that they won the league championship.”

Santos never attended Baruch.

With so many speakers pledging to ice out Santos and deny him support for any reelection campaign, Wednesday’s announcement cemented that any future bid by Santos to stay in the seat would be incredibly difficult.

Yet, Santos told reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday morning that he has no plans to resign. He also repeated that assertion in a tweet, adding that he regrets “to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office.”

The same day, Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters he wouldn’t sit Santos on any of the “A Committees” — including more powerful panels such as Judiciary, Ways and Means and Budget, which typically don’t go to first-term lawmakers anyway. It’s still unclear if Santos will be seated on committees at all, as some of his GOP colleagues have called to totally exclude him from panel spots.

McCarthy still hasn’t publicly signaled how he plans to handle Santos’ fabrications internally.

But other House Republicans stopped short of calling for Santos to resign, and instead are leaving it to the Ethics Committee to investigate.

“Well, I believe in due process, so let’s let the process work itself through,” said Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.). Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) echoed similar sentiments to POLITICO. Hudson, who sits on the House GOP Steering Committee that lays out committee assignments, says that Santos will still be receiving his. “You’re innocent until proven guilty.”

Santos has lied about everything from where he went to college to his Jewish ancestry. He’s being investigated by local, state and federal authorities.

New York Primary Predictions

It's primary day in New York (and Florida), and there are quite a few interesting races on tap. I'm not going to predict all of them, but I figure I'd lay a marker down on a few Democratic races.

NY-10: This is a complete free-for-all with at least six candidates still in at least plausible contention, none of whom have broken beyond the high teens or low twenties in polling. That said, Dan Goldman, a relative moderate, does seem to be very slightly pulling ahead, and he might be benefiting from the inability of the field to unite behind a single alternative. Carlina Rivera might have been the mild front-runner at one point, but seems to be fading down the stretch. Yuh-Line Niou is the progressive darling in the race who strikes me as having a very Bernie-like high floor/low ceiling profile, but that could actually work to her advantage in a highly fragmented field. Rep. Mondaire Jones is probably my favorite candidate, but he doesn't seem to quite be able to get out of traffic.

Ultimately, I think Goldman probably will win a very, very divided vote (I'm guessing Niou will poll second). I'm not super confident in that prediction. But I'm far more confident that if Goldman does win, he will not lose to Niou in a hypothetical general election rematch where the latter runs on the Working Families Party ticket -- some extremely wishful thinking from lefty commentators notwithstanding.

NY-12: A slugfest between two thirty-year veterans in Reps. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, with newcomer Suraj Patel trying to sneak in between the two. Though Maloney represents more turf, she's been notably vulnerable in recent primaries (Patel held her to a tight race last cycle), and Nadler seems to be pulling away. I don't see Patel able to pull the upset, and I do think Nadler is going to end up prevailing.

NY-16: Rep. Jamaal Bowman has shown a bit of vulnerability in late polling, but he may benefit from a split in the anti-incumbent vote as both Vedat Gashi and Catherine Parker are waging credible campaigns. Gashi has gotten far more attention, but the only poll I've seen has Parker in the lead. For my part, I think Bowman will end up surviving, albeit with less than 50%.

NY-17: Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney pushed Rep. Mondaire Jones out of his seat, but then encountered an energetic primary challenge from State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi. Biaggi took down one of the IDC schmucks a few years back, so I have residual goodwill for that. But I also don't think she has the firepower or local base to take out the well-resourced Maloney. She also made what I consider to be a truly boneheaded decision to embrace the view that women past "childbearing age" won't care about reproductive rights, which seems outright suicidal in a contested primary.

As to the Florida race, I won't venture predictions on any of them, but I do want to keep an eye on the Republican contest in the FL-11, where incumbent Rep. Daniel Webster is facing a challenge from certified crank and absolute shonda Laura Loomer. It would be a tremendous embarrassment if Loomer wins (and if she wins, she's absolutely entering Congress in this strongly GOP district). But what is the GOP today, if not embarrassment persevering?

Silicon Valley Tech Moguls Want to Build a New City in California

When rich people start buying up land, it’s always fairly disturbing. If and when those same people start telling you that they’re going to use the land to make the world a better place, it’d only be natural to feel certifiably creeped out. Unfortunately, this is what’s been happening in northern California, where some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent bigwigs have snatched up a huge amount of…
