I KNEW this would happen...

People here were so obsessed with the idea that Trump's tax returns would have a smoking gun showing criminal activity, that anything less is seen as a failure of journalism.

Trump's actual tax payments, and his desire to eliminate the AMT (which would allow him to pay less) is newsworthy. Sorry if it's not enough.

5. the Rachel bashing is embarrassing for DU...you're absolutely right about looking for a silver bullet and ignoring the actual fight on the ground.

This is a good and useful discussion with Kay and Bechloss

6. The whole first 20 minutes of her show implied that the taxes would show criminal activity

Then there was a commercial. Then it turned out the documents she had showed nothing of the kind.

10. Yes. We learned that Trump actually has paid taxes. Another thing he tried to lie about.

Guess he's not that smart after all...

 :o  What?
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

It's going to be like this for at least 4 years, and the chances of a four-year subscription renewal are looking high.

Unless "brooklynite" is some sort of forum pet, he's going to get pizza delivery for how often he mocks and deflates DU-folk over stupidity like this.

Oh, and that AMT thingy? The people hit hardest are ordinary people working at entrepreneurial companies that reward employees with stock options and purchase plans. Trump isn't worried about his taxes, just the crazy-stupid things many ordinary people have to do to avoid AMT traps.
