Trump's Taxes Leak, Paid NO TAXES for 10 Years

The New York Times has obtained and released Donald Trump’s tax return data going back more than two decades. People have been speculating about Trump’s taxes since he first started running for president and it was obvious the whole time that he was trying to hide something. That speculation has now been confirmed. Trump paid only $750 in federal income tax the year he won the presidency (2017) and he has paid zero income taxes in ten of the previous fifteen years. The documents also show that Trump has been dramatically overstating his wealth. In 2018, for example, Trump announced in his disclosure that he made $435 million dollars, but his tax records show $47 million in losses.

The documents also revealed that Donald Trump owes people a ton of money and that he has $300 million in loans for which he’s personally responsible for returning in the next few years. This is a major red flag especially since now he has the power as president to make shady deals with his creditors and tip the scales in their favor. This New York Times piece is a bombshell story and there could be more surprises yet to come. It proves the basis for which Trump was elected president, that he was a rich and successful businessman, was a total sham.

Trump Rally Becomes Authoritarian Nightmare

Donald Trump held another rally over the weekend, this time in Middletown, Pennsylvania, and the event was truly horrifying. It got dystopian and authoritarian real quick, with Trump commending US Marshals for killing a man suspected of murder in Portland. Trump continued fearmongering about the election because of mail-in ballots which he thinks are somehow fraudulent. This is despite how at the state level, the Trump campaign is encouraging its supporters to vote by mail. The message Trump was sending clearly didn’t make any sense, so he got right back on the teleprompter in order to avoid a complete implosion.

Trump later said he agreed with the crowd’s chant of “lock her up,” referring to Hillary Clinton. Trump, if he had it his way, would lock up all of his political opponents. He’s said in the past that former FBI Director James Comey needs to be put in prison, along with former President Barack Obama and Trump’s current competitor, Joe Biden. The crowd loves it whenever he does this and Trump loves pretending to be the dictator he wants to be.

From over the weekend:

Census Worker: 2020 Census a DISASTER

A live caller discusses their experience working as a 2020 census taker and they said it was a disaster. Some people lied by saying they filled out the census online when they didn’t. Many immigrants were worried a citizenship question would be on there, so they decided to forgo it altogether. Others were worried that the data could be used by Republicans or Democrats to target them and so also avoided filling out the census. An inaccurate census will set the country on a disastrous course for the next decade and that’s exactly what the right wing is trying to accomplish.
