It has been obvious that he is going to prison ever since he was named Individual #1, he's looking a 10 years for the Stormy Daniels fiasco alone, a life sentence. Donald is desperate and I figure he got Barr and Pompeo involved in the Ukraine scandal and made them desperate men too. When Donald goes down it will be spectacular and he will take a lot of assholes with him, he singlehandedly killed the republican party, but it was all primed and waiting for him anyway. He has nearly killed the USA and if given another 4 years will finish you off for sure.

The October surprise...
Donald will need a big distraction now, perhaps a war!

I don't know how you can say that with the epic bitch slapping the current president of the United States is getting by our American news companies. I think America is more likely to be entering into a new age of innovation and educational and economic advancement. It is not over, Biden is still 'the opposition' to the closest thing we have ever had to a dictator, so he has to win big to not be in serious danger of what other dictator political adversaries face, but it is looking like Trump is not going to escape scrutiny from now to November.
We just need to survive Trump, which is closer and closer to being a reality.

We already know he's a sleazebag, conman and tax cheat, this proves it. I doubt it will make any difference to his base, nothing moves them, but there are a few percent undecided.
Donald doesn't need to worry about any of this stuff, he'll be in prison with his assets confiscated by uncle Sam, that's why he's so desperate and dangerous, Donald knows what Donald did.

THE PRESIDENT’S TAXES
LONG-CONCEALED RECORDS SHOW TRUMP’S CHRONIC LOSSES AND YEARS OF TAX AVOIDANCE
The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.
Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.
The tax returns that Mr. Trump has long fought to keep private tell a story fundamentally different from the one he has sold to the American public. His reports to the I.R.S. portray a businessman who takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet racks up chronic losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes. Now, with his financial challenges mounting, the records show that he depends more and more on making money from businesses that put him in potential and often direct conflict of interest with his job as president.
The New York Times has obtained tax-return data extending over more than two decades for Mr. Trump and the hundreds of companies that make up his business organization, including detailed information from his first two years in office. It does not include his personal returns for 2018 or 2019. This article offers an overview of The Times’s findings; additional articles will be published in the coming weeks.
The returns are some of the most sought-after, and speculated-about, records in recent memory. In Mr. Trump’s nearly four years in office — and across his endlessly hyped decades in the public eye — journalists, prosecutors, opposition politicians and conspiracists have, with limited success, sought to excavate the enigmas of his finances. By their very nature, the filings will leave many questions unanswered, many questioners unfulfilled. They comprise information that Mr. Trump has disclosed to the I.R.S., not the findings of an independent financial examination. They report that Mr. Trump owns hundreds of millions of dollars in valuable assets, but they do not reveal his true wealth. Nor do they reveal any previously unreported connections to Russia.
In response to a letter summarizing The Times’s findings, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate” and requested the documents on which they were based. After The Times declined to provide the records, in order to protect its sources, Mr. Garten took direct issue only with the amount of taxes Mr. Trump had paid.
“Over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015,” Mr. Garten said in a statement.
With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Mr. Garten also asserted that some of what the president owed was “paid with tax credits,” a misleading characterization of credits, which reduce a business owner’s income-tax bill as a reward for various activities, like historic preservation.
The tax data examined by The Times provides a road map of revelations, from write-offs for the cost of a criminal defense lawyer and a mansion used as a family retreat to a full accounting of the millions of dollars the president received from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.
Together with related financial documents and legal filings, the records offer the most detailed look yet inside the president’s business empire. They reveal the hollowness, but also the wizardry, behind the self-made-billionaire image — honed through his star turn on “The Apprentice” — that helped propel him to the White House and that still undergirds the loyalty of many in his base.
Ultimately, Mr. Trump has been more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life.
“The Apprentice,” along with the licensing and endorsement deals that flowed from his expanding celebrity, brought Mr. Trump a total of $427.4 million, The Times’s analysis of the records found. He invested much of that in a collection of businesses, mostly golf courses, that in the years since have steadily devoured cash — much as the money he secretly received from his father financed a spree of quixotic overspending that led to his collapse in the early 1990s.

The NYT is gonna hammer Trump with this right up until election day and other tax experts and former IRS officials are gonna chime in on TV. Not many read the NYT, but the news shows will discuss and describe it in detail with interviews by the reporters etc. This story is gonna prime Monday's news cycle, Donald is already reacting on twitter and will start freaking out.
I think the American Press has done and is doing a stellar job of serving the public, the heart and core of press protection in the first amendment is shinning through and fulfilling it's intended purpose spectacularly. These folks deserve a lot of medals of freedom and Joe better get extra made, but people like Vindman come first.
They need to stay on the covid message in the red states where they are getting hit by it, this hurts Trump the most, Taxes are abstract to most folks in those places, the danger is close to home with covid and the local news is on TV, though I'm sure folks are catching a lot of national coverage too.
We need to run a little pool on ECVs for Biden, house seats and senate gains! My little prophecy is 400+ ECVs for Joe, 50 seats in the house and 10 in the senate. Big losses for the GOP in the states too, I'm sure someone is telling them they were sold down the river over the fear of a mean tweet. It's a simple narrative and is like a conspiracy theory, except it happens to be true and we have the evidence, we also have the corpses, 200,000+ of them so far.

I'm sure Brad made a careful accounting of all that cash he blew and never skimmed any off the top. Donald is gonna need to blame someone for blowing a billion bucks and Brad is it! Perhaps he has been interviewed by the FBI...LOL, fucking coward should have pulled the trigger.

Just a reminder that Trump’s personal loan officer at Deutsche Bank was SCOTUS Justice Kennedy’s son. If all his dirty financial dealing come out will they reach into the supreme court? Kennedy was blackmailed to retire or was in on all of it, could we see all of tRUmps court picks off the court and headed for prison, they should.

Im not sure about going lock them up on SCOTUS just yet. Kennedy could have stepped down because he knew his ties would have forced him out anyways, but it all stinks to high hell. The Hidden FBI report that senators were able to read for like one hour solo with no notes about Kavanaugh comes to mind.

Joe should demand that Trump get an MRI scan of his brain and make it public, the experts would have a field day.
