    Mocking tweets came from her peers, with predictions that she would soon start connecting points with yarn and newspaper pictures on the wall. Dana Perino asked what the left's version of black helicopters was. The best part was the President, who tweeted out his tax returns before Madcow could even get to it.

    I know. She's a complete laughing stock on every front. There's only one person in the world defending her and he's in this forum on another thread.

    Some suggest that Trump set up the release of the tax documents just to make a fool of the Madcow.

    Stole Maddow's thunder. What kinds of grates on my nerves is how she and Abby Martin who once worked at RT both came from two areas very near to me. I never lived in Castro Valley, where Maddow came from, but the next city to it. I also lived in Pleasanton where Abby is from. Abby might be the more honest of the two. I think Abby also likes men.

    It wouldn't surprise me if he did it as a diversion from his other issues as a "Look Squirrel" Moment. That the WH so quickly confirmed this and gave the number that included his FICA stuff tells me they already knew ahead of time this was out there.

    That said, she really overplayed this.

    Maddow is just a stooge of her corporate employer, an actor, nothing else.

    The left continues to foam out of the mouth, lie through their teeth, project racism and fascism at astounding rates.

    Looking good for America's future as they bleed supporters.

    Whay happened was that Maddow realized that having those tax returns is illegal and chickened out.

    She, as well as her producers, still need to be investigated and probably charged.

    And I suspect they hope to be so that they can spin it as an "attack on the 1st Amendment".

    Never mind the fact that they intended to commit a crime and likely still did.

    Rachel is a goose. Nobody that has ever worked or studied in finance would take a tax return from over a decade seriously to give an indication of any sort of financial position for an entity.

    Rachel needs a nice man to give her a good ****. If she can't, well she needs to grow her hair, put a sexy dress on, and touch base with me.

    Very foolish, sadly endemic from the left at the moment.

    I have listened to the Hard-Left before. The outcome will be that we will all become gay, extreme environmentalists, and a complete charity. Well unfortunately for them I am not gay, I am not an extremist when in comes to the environment, and I believe in a functional society where we all contribute with the intention of a more prosperous future. The sad circumstance with Academia is that it has been hijacked, which is why I am not welcome there.

    Excuse my capitalisation at times as I use it at discretion. I think the English language is but a few that use capitalisation, they never used to.

    Since I did not watch the broadcast, I have no idea whether she drew the conclusion you claim she did. I suspect not.

    The real story behind Trump's efforts to conceal his financial dealings are two fold.

    First, the generally held belief in financial and real estate circles that he is nowhere near as wealthy as he pretends (everything else he has claimed about himself is fake).

    Second, the degree that he is in hock to Russian oligarchs and their associates. It has been a long time since anyone on Wall Street would touch a Trump deal, for well known reasons, so he's had to depend on Deustche Bank and the Russians for quite some time.

    1st: If I went to Wall Street, I would make them all look like bitches because I am way ahead of any sort of financial game over there. Trump probably isn't as wealthy compared to the billionaires of Warren, Michael and Bill; who cares!

    2nd: It is his passion, commitment, fortitude and ability that the USA needs. Where is Bill, Michael and Warren? He can do great things for the USA and for the Western world at large I believe. All the military, intel, billionaires and people should support and protect him, and his team for at least the first term of his presidency.

    If you want to speak on substantive points form here on I welcome it?

    So, since he's had to depend on the Deustche Bank, it isn't beyond reason to speculate that the Germans are also in on the Trump Conspiracy. I mean, there's about as much evidence as there is for the Russian Conspiracy.

    All painfully reminiscent of Gerardo Rivera's opening of Al Capone's safe on national TV.
    Both are a couple of A**hats.

    I find it interesting if the right gentlemen always demanded that all (especially democratic) presidents had to make public their tax returns etc. ... but with Donald Trump, of course, it is not important, and every left demand that he must do too is foolish.
    Somehow, this is a hypocritical behavior or the right gentlemen suffering from Alzheimer's, if one holds their own passiveness under their noses.

    How ridiculous!

    If you're such a genius, by all means, put it all on a Trump deal. He'll laugh in your face as he takes your money.

    Trump based his claims about himself on his boasts about his fabulous wealth and his business acumen. Then he went to great lengths to conceal the one, and was unable to conceal the long history of failed deals, lawsuits, frauds, and unpaid bills that accompany the other.
    '
    What both make clear is that Trump is a habitual and pathological liar on this as well as most other issues. Thats why people care.

    The people who claim they don't care are the suckers and psycophants and the people foolish enough to believe that Trump cares about them or is going to do something for them. is not only doing NOTHING for the western world, his casually reckless comments are sowing fear, uncertainly and doubt throughout.

    The psycophants have all bought the Trump sizzle and ignore the mountain of evidence that the steak is all gristle (or as in Trump Steaks, yet another fraud).

    In his entire career, there is little evidence that he has ever done either, and plenty of evidence of him pretending to do so while pocketing the proceeds, as he did with his fake veterans fundraiser just this time last year.

    BTW, if you want a "substantive discussion", I can easily document every work in my post, which is something you can't do.

    I never made such a demand. As a PF member and pre-membership. It's incredibly stupid. Should Trump release his taxes this year and it's nothing: What will the band of idiots have to offer to "stop Trump."

    The story here is how effective Trump is at hiding. This lib-baiting tactic worked like a dream. The left needs to exhibit self-control and stop trashing their own credibility.

    There might be a real story there, but who would trust it if it cam from Maddow now?

    I doubt she will after this fiasco. She was grasping at straws---strawman and embarrassed herself.Tucker beats her by a million viewers... Tucker was keeping tabs on her "unveiling" last night and couldn't stop laughing. Even her viewers made fun of her...longest hour of her life. LOL
