Yeah but who cares about his base?Yeah, you'd think this tax sham would royally piss off his base, those hard working Americans that wear the red hats and attend the covid infested rallies. You'd think this would about do it for them and Donald Trump, but it won't. All that Donald need do is call it faked news and attack the source, and his base will believe that. His base will believe the media and democrats will make up anything to defeat Donald Trump, and the tax stuff as just another attempt. So.... none of this tax crap will matter in the end. The Trumpies will still vote for Trump, and the never-Trumpers won't vote for Trump. Period. And so.... what do we do next? What's the game plan now that we know Donald Trump is a tax dodger when no one cares? His base refuses to believe it and the rest of us knew this all along so for the rest of us this is nothing new. Donald will lie and deny, and moving on.....

I meant in the context of how they will vote. They won’t change but they aren’t enough for him to win. So, not worth worrying about.People who want his base to stop voting for him? Decent people who care about other human beings even if they are stupid or misguided?
Debate is gonna be wild.
You are probably right... (what about the outcome where Biden decks him and Trump passes out in a spasmatic fit while soiling himself?)a coworker and i were talking about the debate today. he is brave/bold enough to watch it. i can't stand to hear trump talk for more than about 30 seconds.
but we both arrived at the conclusion that the debate carries a lot of risk for biden with little reward. if biden can stick to issues, call out trump's failures across the board, and ignore all the stupid shit trump will inevitably say, then he can gain from it.
but if biden takes the trump bait, and goes down a rabbit hole of whose hands are bigger or something ridiculous like that, then he has A LOT to lose.

I can't stand hearing Trump for longer than a soundbite either. I'll be watching Twitter, mostly paying attention to Tom Nichols live tweeting it. He's a longtime conservative turned Lincoln project member. I'll watch the video highlights later.a coworker and i were talking about the debate today. he is brave/bold enough to watch it. i can't stand to hear trump talk for more than about 30 seconds.

Fox says every American that itemizes their taxes understands this. I shit you not.It appears Fox hasn’t issued Fox approved talking points yet.
Two of my deplorable friends are having trouble explaining how or why the President has paid so little in Federal Taxes and how can he be such an Uber businessman if all his businesses continually operate at a mega loss.
The fall back appears to be “maybe this news isn’t true” and “it is illegal to obtain his personal taxes” which evolves to “why don’t you post your W2”
Sort of feel bad for the deplorable’s today....okay so that part is a lie.
I itemized in 2017. What am I supposed to be understanding? That "good" businesses operate at a loss for tax purposes? That's bullshit, you run losses year over year and your business gets classified as a hobby.Fox says every American that itemizes their taxes understands this. I shit you not.
This really put a crimp on them getting all excited about hosting the debate. Look at the plus, they aren't running pictures of people protesting in Portland, Louisville, or NYC, not even B rolls right now. Day been shook.

(Oh, I also have an MBA in tax accounting.)
You could just write off a giant consultant fee and put the recipient as Ivanka? Seems to work.Damn I wish I could get my tax liability that low.....I make six figures and have a pretty good CPA but obviously not good enough because I still owe close to $25k a year.
Dude this AT. Everyone makes 6 figures, lives in 3500+ft^2 houses and drives $70K vehicles.Damn I wish I could get my tax liability that low.....I make six figures and have a pretty good CPA but obviously not good enough because I still owe close to $25k a year.
If he applied for a security clearance, he would never ever get one.

I like it! I don't have Trump money though so it probably wouldn't work.....the IRS would audit me and throw me in prison.You could just write down a giant consultant fee and put the recipient has Ivanka? Seems to work.
Haha man I thought the trending AT status was seven figures now? Just goes to show you how outta the loop I am....Dude this AT. Everyone makes 6 figures, lives in 3500+ft^2 houses and drives $70K vehicles.
Campaign finance reform. Public funding only.Haha man I thought the trending AT status was seven figures now? Just goes to show you how outta the loop I am....
But in all seriousness I do find the leaked tax returns to be appalling not only on the Presidents behalf but also as greater problem as far as our tax system is concerned. When millionaires and billionaires can get away with paying so little it is obvious that the system is broken and needs to be fixed and or scrapped and rebuilt.
$70k for haircuts. Paging the AOC Hate Brigade...
