It's a politicized issue that both parties make hay from. Doesn't make it any less stupid.

agreed; there's very little federal involvement, so little to be done there.

States' rights are dead on the national stage pretty much for better or for worse. Too much nuance involved in the idea for it to be discussed in the current climate.

The only thing I've gained from this is that there's a reason both of these men aren't at the top of the ticket.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Trump and Pence getting slaughtered over Trump's taxes.

what's there to be slaughtered about
he had a bad year and crystallized his losses

That not paying taxes makes him smart.
That his losses (potentially, since we don't know without him releasing his tax info) allow him to not pay taxes for several years to come.
That he lost nearly $1B in the casino industry.

Of course his supporters will explain how it was all legal and how it is for businesses to incur loses and continue to operate. My father owned his own business, at one point it was the 3rd largest residential roofing company in our state. He then did a job for a large hotel chain, who, like Trump, didn't pay any of the people they contracted work out to. After they strung him along to complete the job and got all the work out of him, he got nothing. Point being, what is 'legal' and what is morally correct are not always the same.


My question is do people think Democrats just found out about this now? They didn't care when he did it, just when he was in the way of them being in the white house.

This type of stuff has actually gotten worse under Obama.

As a non American, if a president present a certain general policy even if it is not supported by law, like "we need more community policing" is it generally follow by the states or at least the states that are governs by his party?

Or does the state feel independent enough to just do whatever they want?

Once again i'll say...Pence just said an african-american police officer cannot possibly be biased against african-americans.

This logic has been seen here multiple times. I think it may have finally gotten through to most everyone though.

In theory there's literally no way for the president to do that-he doesn't have the executive authority. If the national legislature did grant him the authority and he tried to do it, the states could sue like they did regarding the Affordable Care Act.

Frankly neither party has done enough to change it. You are right to be upset with the left though, because traditionally it would be a liberal principle to push to remove such loopholes. I don't think anyone is claiming that anyone just now found out that these things happen.

By Constitutional law, general policing is left to the states.
