  1. She played it wrong. IF she had thought about it longer..She should have said upfront "Obvious ploy from the WH to throw people off of Trumps taxes..the ones that deal with Russians" And then laughed at that 2 page copy from 12 years ago.
    Trump who brags he pays less taxes because he knows all the rules paid 30+ % of his income in 2005 only for some reason? Who thinks that?
    She still had a scoop..just played it wrong.

  2. It is hard for me to commit on all of the taking heads because I don't watch everything that is out there. However; I enjoy Chuck Todd daily/Sunday along with Chris Matthews on MSNBC.
    I record all of the Sunday talk shows except Face the Nation. This is only because KPIX will not broadcast the entire hour.
    We as Americans are very lucky that there is a free press. If not; people such as the powers to be would change things to their likings. Then we will not have a voice.

    1. KPIX can't show the entire hour if FTN due to CBS Sports obligations, but the second half hour is usually shown later in the day

  3. Trump paid more taxes percentage-wise than the Obama's, Bernie, Hillary and NBC/COMCAST. Wasn't it Hitlery who was saying he paid no taxes at all? It's time for the Democrats to step up and pay their fair share, hypocrites.

    1. @10:13, I'd like to see your sources for this info because I heard that Putin was a long-lost relative of Dr. Frankenstein and Donald Trump is his long-lost creation. My sources? Oh, I don't know, I heard that somewhere. The same place as the Obama wiretapping of Trump Tower, I believe.

      Reputable sources help.

    3. Trump had to pay AMT (alternative minimum tax) because of his writeoffs. The rate is typically about 25%, what he paid. Quite likely, none of those other people mentioned had the income level or the depreciation levels to trigger AMT.

    4. Wow, what an ignorant post. Probably someone who files a 1040EZ. AMT gets triggered with income in the very low six figures...definitely under the $250K=Rich threshold established by Barack H. 0bama and his band of merry men.

  4. That was a pretty good parody of Maddow this week. I watched the same episode Colbert was referencing.

  5. Trump leaked one of the few years he paid a decent %. Lets see the last 10 years. Will have to get someone from the IRS to leak those. I can't wait.

    1. At Trump's income level, it's pretty much a given that returns are audited annually. If the IRS had any issue with these returns, most likely they've settled any issues by now, if there were any to begin with.
