Was there even anything interesting in his returns they got? Like I assume he paid some laughably low amount but conservatives are just going to see that as a sign of his brilliance with money.

He paid $750 two separate years which is hilarious. James Carville interrupted connecting this all to Russia to tell us that Donald Trump is looking for some way to resign and get a pardon because it's all over :lol:

It seems bad that in all that time since 1876, no one has fixed that major flaw in our Constitution because the Electoral College gives Republicans an electoral edge and that's all that matters. The wealthy benefit from an 1876 scenario anyway as long as they have the referees on their side, but if not for that and the Republican tendency to apply Mutually Assured Destruction as leverage in national negotiations, there could have been a compromise leaving them with an equal advantage.

all of this talk of Catholics and Protestants when we should have been singling out the alien other: the Orthodox Church

one of the books I read earlier this year talked about how the seeds of Western Russophobia date back to the schism between Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity - the progenitor of "communists want to take over the world" was the fabrication of a will allegedly by Peter the Great that he wanted to conquer the world.

Representatives for President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden have hammered out the final details for Tuesday’s debate, a showdown that will be heavily shaped by the coronavirus pandemic.

The two sides have decided to forego the traditional pre-debate handshake in light of the virus, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations. They also won’t do an elbow-bump, a coronavirus-era handshake substitute which both campaigns saw as awkward.

Neither Trump nor Biden nor the debate moderator, Fox News host Chris Wallace, will wear masks.

And unlike past presidential debates, there will be a limited audience of only 75 to 80 people, all of whom will be tested prior to attending the debate, which will be held on the campus of the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University.

In another concession to the pandemic, there will not be a post-debate spin room, either. Rather, media outlets will have to schedule interviews with surrogates for the campaigns.

After a coin flip, it was determined that the first question of the 90-minute showdown will go to Trump. The president will stand to the right and Biden to the left.

The negotiations were described as amicable. Biden was represented by Brady Williamson, an attorney and longtime Democratic hand. Trump was represented by Rick Ahearn, who also helped lead debate negotiations for him in 2016, and Max Miller, the deputy campaign manager for presidential operations.

Notice the pattern of how Dems push their setbacks onto other things in a never ending blame game?

People are believing in "Just Vote!" was they fast track someone accused of rape as the general election candidate.

A certain parent forum is also convinced the IRS is going to frogmarch trumo out of the whitehouse for fraud and this will be the thing that makes people change their votes. The fact that he said he paid no taxes in a debate in 2016 because he's working within a system created by people like biden and hillary and it didn't hurt him doesn't seem to register.

When politicians give speeches like that, I think people start to go "gently caress you and your theatrics, and your scripted clever lines," referring to "trumped up trickle down [pause for audience? no? okay]" moments that Clinton, Klobuchar, and Swalwell had. "Just loving tell me what you believe and why you think you're right"
