The Tuesday Politics Thread Will Go Directly To Jail

Politics FB

In case you missed it, our boy Steven Mnuchin, the US Treasury Secretary, has opted to not turn over POTUS’s tax returns even though he is legally required to do so upon request, and the request has been made. He risks removal from his office and jail time, all because big boss man said so. So loyal. The best people. Now’s a good time to once again remind you of that Sarah Kendzior tweet I like so much, the one about “you will have sacrificed yourself for nothing”, just for no reason. Just keep it in your back pocket.

Anyway, it’s pretty clear what the plan is: he’s going to stonewall, they will be sued, it will somehow work its way through the courts despite being pretty obvious, and Trump’s Supreme Court Justices will protect him when it gets that far. Yay autocracy.

As always, be excellent to each other, only flag those posts what break the rules, Mayor McSquirrel rule is in effect (which means no threats against anyone), and if it gets hairy out there, grab ahold of a mod at avocadomods@gmail.com.
