Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

He's old as shit so I'm just hoping for a crippling stroke. I don't want him to die, he needs some suffering.

Penis cancer also an option, if leprosy can't make a comeback.

Uh...my eyebrow is arched, shall we say.

hmm

Uh.

Intriguing

"Now note we didn't say WHICH Trump but Barron's already spent a lot, we can reveal..."

If this winds up mattering I'll be pleasantly surprised.

The oppo dump to end all dumps

Lol, my twitter feed went crazy. When is it on? Two hours? Three? Four? (Timezones etc)

1 hr, 5 minutes, start your countdown clock

I still quietly lol re "Opportunity Dump with Rick Wilson" weeknights on MSNBC

Huh, so it's only five hours behind. Daylight savings time, I guess.

Huh. Maybe he will throw her in jail? Alas, tax returns are prolly nothing. I mean, I hope they're something, but I have low expectations.

doesnt the MSNBC crew need the requisite months and months to comprehend the totality and massivity of these, the trump tax returns?

New Trump nickname I just saw on FB: Toupee Fiasco

Maybe it's Ivanka or Beavis and Butthead's returns.

Senator: Comey to go public on Trump-Russia probe

More on said Comey news:

https://mobile.twitter.com/mkraju/status/841808382961020928

Comey privately told Sen. Whitehouse and Graham he'd confirm if Russia/Trump FBI inquiry exists by tomorrow.

meh. the leak from 1995 or w/e that showed his billion dollar loss didn't really move the needle. doubt this one will either

Still, White House apparently already saying things:

14-Mar-2017 08:29:23 PM - WHITE HOUSE SAYS IN RESPONSE TO MSNBC THAT TRUMP PAID $38 MILLION IN TAXES ON INCOME OF $150 MILLION...WHITE HOUSE SAYS TRUMP HAD A RESPONSIBILITY "TO PAY NO MORE TAX THAN LEGALLY REQUIRED"

LOL no "i am SO a billionaire!" ?

I mean, presumably it's less about the amount than it is where he got it from, which is what a lot of the murmuring's been about.

that's a tax rate of 26% - certainly lower than whatever the top bracket was at the time

it's a 1040 from 2005, for his base & plenty of other people that means it's ancient history and does not matter

Couple of people pointing out this story from a year ago:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-got-a-big-break-on-2005-taxes-1458249902

Also, does an official White House response mean that the 'audit' excuse no longer holds?

Effective rate is always going to be lower than top income tax bracket xp

WH response in full -- trying to guess who wrote it.

As for the other story re: Comey

https://twitter.com/karoun/status/841777947694497793

@ChuckGrassley says he won't put AG nom Rosenstein up for a vote until Senate Judiciary gets a briefing from Comey on Russia. Story coming.

he pays sales tax goddamnit!

right, because only the income pertaining to each bracket gets taxed at that rate xp

Yep also capital gains

So if there's a story here it's not 26%

And meanwhile in all this you've got Lou Dobbs saying Ryan's gotta resign.

More minor, perhaps...but is it?

Per Costa's tweets:

A crowd of Trump loyalists (Ruddy, Ingraham, Breitbart, Bolling, etc.) are callling it "RyanCare" and several of them have his ear...Their opposition is different than F. Caucus wing. Those are movement cons driven by ideology. Trump bloc driven by Trump, fear of "trap"...Several WH officials tell me they're not exactly sure how this plays out. They say he's playing team ball with Ryan and House, for now...

I don't know what any of this - taxes, Russia, Ryan/ACA - will add up to, but I will accept the chaos. Chaos candidate be causing chaos.

ugh and trump is too stupid to even know what was in the bill before trying to front that it wasnt a piece of shit last week. he just knows he wants to DO SOMETHING NOW.
