I’ve been telling people that if this is their takeaway from tonight, they might want to rethink. Yes it was just a 2 sheet 1040. The chances of it being some hugely damning smoking gun were slim no matter what. However it is hugely important that it is the beginning of a paper trail. It makes the Trump people look…

Liberals keep dreaming of this magic bullet, this shocking revelation that will spur protective governmental action that’s going to somehow make it all better. They still think Trump is an aberration instead of the natural result of our system and the way both parties have developed over the last several decades, and…

It’s illegal to claim Putin as a dependent tho.

I hope the short-term ratings boost was worth it, Rachel =\

In his back pocket?

I’m not going to lie, I’d be pretty stoked about $200K. The idea of making $418K a day is making my head spin a little. What the hell do you even spend it on? Where does it go? Do you dive into piles like Scrooge McDuck?

Don’t answer. I don’t really want to know.

David Cay Johnston low key DRAGGED Trump in the best way ever. “I mean he prolly leaked his own wife’s nudes” is a sick fucking burn. Me:

Irresponsible journalism. Maddow dithered for 20 minutes about nothing, and then the big reveal was 2 pages with no sources of income. Trump should absolutely release his full returns, but don’t pretend like what she had was anything worthwhile.
 

Now, did someone leak this because this return in particular has clues to something sinister, or did Trump or someone release this because if there’s “nothing”, he can just say, “hey my returns were fine!!!!”, and now his delusional base and cronies can continue playing stupid?

I’m trying to imagine what my spouse and I would need to do to make $418K a year. Even if it was in 2005 dollars, that would be an entirely different existence.

Nah. He wouldn’t have said the same thing to a blond sorority girl with a Longchamp bag who came up to him in the Apple store. Maybe “you’re lucky we have freedom of speech,” but not “America lets you be here.”

The “...that allows you to be here” is the key.

it’s him patently telling her that she does not actually belong here, but is only ‘allowed’ to be in the country because of the goodness of the hearts of real true Americans.

It’s the patent assumption that she’s an immigrant, even though the article states that she was…

I keep seeing a post on Facebook about how the Pilgrims did not come here illegally and force people to adjust to their culture and I just....the stupidity in America is astounding.

Living in the South as a kid with ethnic looking parents and me this white passing kid in public.... Hoboy.

The people who repeat “What part of ILLEGAL don’t you understand?” get awfully quiet when you explain how pointlessly difficult the legal immigration process is—especially if you don’t already have a nuclear family member here.

Exactly.

And a lot of those Indians? Vote conservative. Because “the blacks” are “lazy” and they’re sick of people can’t make it like they did.

Would Stupid Spice say that shit to Nikki Haley?

There is a joke Margerat Cho told where she was asked by newscasters to say in her native language they were moving to a different channel. She said it in English they were moving to a different channel.

I love it how these racist evil morons have the gall to judge people and their immigration statuses just by looking at them and drawing the most simplistic conclusions. Brown = immigrant, Speaks-With-An-Accent = immigrant. And then they proceed to just rub in the fact the US are being magnanimous in “letting” these…
