Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


Was it Trump's taxes or the Mueller report (both?) that Maddow had the big special with the piles of paper on her desk, cracked it open, then we got to see her realize live that it was nothing? I remember the scene i just don't remember which magic bullet it was

it was his 2005 taxes, they got a "leak" and hyped the gently caress out of it being a special edition of her show
then it turns out he paid 25% taxes which is pretty high for the ultra-rich

When last year a bunch of random people starting getting mysterious seed packets from China. And half the internet was all "bio weapons plot for CHYNA plant monsters!!! :tinfoil:" and the other half of the internet was all "haha look at these idiots who've never heard of a brushing scam before :smuggo:". State departments of agriculture were sending out strongly worded press releases saying "DO NOT PLANT THE SEEDS. PLEASE CALL US, AND WE WILL COLLECT THEM AND ANALYIZE THEM IN A LAB."


Then everyone forgot about it, until a year later a reporter actually did some reporting, because, hey, whatever happened with that anyway?. And it turns out the truth was everyone who got seeds had ordered them from some random chinese drop shipper on amazon and then forgot.

Absolute galaxy brain nation.

he paid the alternative minimum tax, which was basically a rule that says "gently caress how good your lawyers are, you are paying at least this much no matter loving what". Guess what no longer exists due to his big tax cut package.

so what you're saying is Trump eliminated redundancies in the tax code and improved the IRS' efficiency :hmmyes:

"please proceed, governor" will always stick in my head and, at least going purely on memory, completely threw Romney off for the debate.

ok how about when Ralph Northam was called out for doing blackface and he claimed in his defense that he had a really good Michael Jackson impression and could moonwalk, and when the reporter followed up with “can you show us” he CHECKS TO SEE IF THERE IS ROOM ON STAGE and his wife lightly touched his shoulder and shook her head and he clearly deflates and says “no”
