Any changes to SS will not affect anyone over the age of 50. Under that age might be fair game.

Do you realize the government has procedure in place before he can touch the nuclear code right. It's not on his lap top that he can do what he wants. So stop the nuclear scare, obviously 55 million people didn't believe it.

Is that true? I mean, is there a real person who can stop him from using the nuclear code? Does the President not have the final say? Seriously, do you have a link to a legitimate site that provides the protocol?

The Secretary of Defense has to concur on a nuclear launch, iirc. He/She has a separate set of codes.

I don't really think there's much risk of a nuclear war. Russia is the other major nuclear power and Trump has a bro-mance with Putin. Who are we going to nuke? Syria? Libya? Lots of good that would do.

Just google it. Government has procedure on everything.

"Just google it." Well, that required a lot of thought. Now I understand.

I see the bigger question did he file legal tax returns? If so, why fault him for using the tax code.

Also a return showing no taxable income doesn't mean he paid no taxes that year.

Stop whistling in the cemetery. Changes don't get grandfathered in over 20 years anymore...they come in 6 months with no publicity.

And we should stop fooling ourselves that they "listen to the old folks because they vote". Nobody remembers ANYTHING for 6 months, much less the years to vote somebody out. You remember until the next sound bite. Think the press will ferret it out? Hahah - no more 60 Minutes around - it's all entertainment for the masses with no substance beyond clickbait.

I would say we have a major problem with the tax code - a code that was developed by others like Trump. Why hasn't this been addressed & changed a long time ago?
