Trump paid no income taxes in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000

New York Times: Trump paid no income taxes in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000
Donald Trump paid no federal income taxes whatsoever in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000 because he reported losing significantly more than he made, according to an explosive report released Sunday by the New York Times.
In both the year he won the presidency and his first year in the White House, Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes, the Times reported.

Sooo... Trump’s broke and needs to come up with $400 million in the next 3 years. Will he sell out America in the Middle East like Kushner did? Which foreign oligarchs are bailing him out? What will he offer them for the cash?  American secrets? Destroy democracy? NATO? - Thom Hartmann

Top Republicans skip Ruth Bader Ginsburg's memorial service at Capitol

The Republican leaders of the House and Senate, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are skipping a service at the Capitol for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke briefly during the short service under the Capitol rotunda, expressing her wish that the liberal icon “rest In peace” after a military honor guard slowly and deliberately carried a casket with Ms Ginsburg inside to the platform on which President Abraham Lincoln’s casket once rested.

Rand Paul Fluffs His Racist Feathers. Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) identified the Black Lives Matter movement as a terrorist organization after he was confronted by angry protesters outside the Republican National Convention...“We do have to investigate these people, and we have to put blame where blame is,” Paul told the Homeland Security Committee. “We need to find out who’s financing them. If you’re from out of state and you attack someone in D.C., I would think the FBI or federal authorities should investigate how he got there, who’s paying for it. I can tell you Black Lives Matter is supporting these folks and that we shouldn’t shy away from attributing blame where blame goes.”
