Both sides!
Defeatism in the face of naked corruption, but n o t h I n g m a t t e r s
Right.
Can't say anything about Baron yet. He might yet still be saved.
Motherfucker. He should have paid more here in Panama. Glad someone stole his hotel.
I don't think it's so much important in moving the polls as keeping them where they are. We've got 36 days left really. Any day we're talking about this is a day he's in the news. He does worse when he's in the news. Compare to last cycle....about a week from now Access Hollywood took over and then Wikileaks retaliated...and then it was the Comey letter.
All of Barr's shit shouldn't be given breathing room.

Yeah im heated tbh., I pay WAY more than he did in taxes in ONE YEAR than he did in 2. ridiculous.
Whatever you say. Joe "shoot them in the leg but don't give them healthcare" Biden is what the American people truly want. I'll be damned if this isn't a further indictment of the American political system.
I'm watching the comments on this old tweet suddenly light up in real time lol
Went from less than 300 to almost 1K already.
I love these takes as if there was a viable alternative magically Americans would make the right choice.
But its the evil neoliberals that happy engage in bigotry, cheer on boots on the ground, and join evangelical death cults demanding anyone who's not a white Christian to not really be counted as a real person.
These choices we are faced with aren't a nefarious conspiracy, its us, and we need to do much better.
They literally don't, just check Twitter. He's a "genius" because "taxation is theft"
i paid more in 2015 for my taxes and this motherfucker is only paying 750 dollars in 2016? thats an airplane to japan! WTF!!!! Wonder how Fox News will spin this one
They voted for him in the primaries....so it kind of is who they want at the moment.
Yep. To me, this is more about potentially making Trump voters stay home.
Yeah and his only solid income on top is what? It's a double whammy. He can't pay his debts or can maybe pay a little and shuffle things around, seems he has basically fronted his assets to the eyeballs already so with income from where does he get by all this time?
Democratic primary voters are not the nation. "What fishbowl?", said the fish.
The one place where this could make waves is in states like Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, etc ....where people are really struggling
well yes people voted for him in the primaries more than anyone else, thats how it works.
democratic primary voters are the democratic party. they picked him. get over it. it's over.
Surprised they seem intend on prolonging the disclosure of all of this, like you'd assume they are about to get pounced on by lawyers right? Either way its disgusting and I hope Trump winds up broke and in a cell. I'll be interested to see his response - surprised he hasn't leapt on it already. This Twitter rant might rival that one that said he had a hooker piss on him in Russia.
They article lays out three or four cases of possible fraud. Looks like the other articles will be looking at more possibke issues. The places where they show possible fraud:
The property that NY is looking at. Looks like it is being claimed as a failing business so expenses can ve claimed as a business expense, however Eric claimed it wqs being used as a Trump base, so they arent actually tring to rent it out.
Trump Org claiming expenses for consultation, some amounts are equal to amounts Ivanka claimed she earned for consultation, while being an executive of Trump Org, meaning she is being paid to consult while performing her normal job. Looks like consultation fees allow for some tax advantages to the business and also would be fraud on Ivanka. Articles points to a 2011 case that spunds similar to what this appears as.
Trump claiming everything as a business expense. Article mentions that these arent itemized in taxes and are normally stretched, but it looks like Trump might be claiming his lavish lifestyle as a business expense, since he is selling himself. Very loose on this.
Trump recived a refund for previously paid taxes, plus interest, when he 'abandoned' his interest in Atlantic City. If he truly abandoned his interest, he would recive nothing worth more than $3000 dollars to claim as much as he did when getting this refund. Looks like he recived 5% in shares (presumebly worth more than $3k), which would dramatically reduce what he should have recieved and have him owing more than $100 million. This is the 'audit' that has been taking place probably and is supposed to be reviewed by the Tax Committe due to the size of the refund.
If it makes him smart, it makes them stupid. He has them smiling and cheering while picking up his tab. Laughable suckers.
That's what vetting information is for, if a story is this big then it totally was put in front of lawers before hitting publish.
"I'll gladly pick up the tab for a president this good!"
The Behind the Bastards podcast did a two part episode on Trump University, (Trump's scammy attempt at a real estate school) and said that part of the lesson was to have students call their credit card companies to request credit increases. They were encouraged to lie about their income. When pressed to provide evidence of said income, they were encouraged to say that it would be too difficult to get the documentation to prove their income.
According to the host, this worked most of the time because banks are basically gonna track you down and get their money back anyway.
It's possible that all this came from the crooks who actually ran Trump U, but it sure has a different light given what we've learned today.
That makes sense..would love to be a fly on the wall during all of this.
It's reeeeeealy long.
I did read a lot of it. No particular paragraph sounded conclusive. They didn't even mention the word fraud in the whole article. Was just wondering if there was something specific outside of "he's really aggressive with his writeoffs".
If there is something where he outright lied year after year about something I'd like to know if we have a real "we got him".

How bout no. What is it with the Biden cult getting all pressed when people express actual leftist views.
I had to pay 1k when I made $12k per year, lol
Anyhow this will not move the needle at all. Everyone has known Trump is a fraud for decades and they voted for him anyways. A third of American voters are simply bad people who enjoy cruelty.
This is big news, & will most likely keep being shown throughout next month as it's closer to the election.
While it won't phase Trump's base, it'll most likely make independents vote against Trump & more Democrats voting against him.
What is it with trolls doing derails in a thread about Trump's taxes?
You know it's a potent, effective story when the JAQ'ing off/rhetorical games ramp up in the respective topic around here.
He's a fraud and his feet have needed held to the fire forever. Will he and his enablers ever actually be held accountable? We'll see.

It's cute as hell and always funny. They're never subtle, even when they try to be.
