Cletus C.: Headso: If only conservatives were as concerned about their president as much as they are about a political pundit on a 24 hour news network.
I doubt there were a whole lot of conservatives excitedly waiting for Maddow to reveal Trump's tax return, only to find out she was peddling an empty ratings grab. It was anti-Trump people who were let down.
The people tuning in were interested in the grifters tax returns because he is a corrupt scumbag that was elected president.

"I hold in my hand something very significant. It is a joke. A joke that we have confirmed has been heard by Donald Trump. We believe this is the first time any joke connected to Donald Trump has been released," Colbert, in front of a backdrop meant to resemble Maddow's, deadpanned while waving pieces of paper.
"This is an old joke, from before he was President. We obtained this joke legally. The First Amendment gives us the right to tell this joke.
"The joke in question: why did the chicken ... but first, a word on chickens."
Stephen, call me if you need a Set-Up Guy. EIP.

I mean I know she has a show to do and she needs the ratings but she should have dialed it back a notch. Or at the very least draw the parallel between his taxes and getting rid of ATM.

Peter von Nostrand: Fissile: Nothing but a ratings stunt by Maddow, and another example of the fecklessness of what passes for a left-wing in the US today. We've got rule of Trump because of 'leftists' like Maddow....people who are incapable of acting like adults and concentrating on serious issues. America has had enough of the left's nonstop cacophony over public toilet 'equality' and pussy marches.
It's this serious? I can't tell anymore.
I'm quite serious. What Maddow did helped Trump. And yes, we no longer have a left in this country made up of serious, emotionally stable people.

Pocket Ninja: Maddow does deserve mockery and scorn for that shiatshow. A lot of it.
It was kind of dumb and deserves a laugh, but it wasn't THAT bad.

Heh, I was actually going to go digging for your post and let you know Colbert (or his writers) are clearly stealing from Fark.

Befuddled: We still have a President that gives every indication he has been bought by a foreign adversarial power and he won't reveal his finances to prove he hasn't been bought. Rachel Maddow would not have had to do what she did if Trump was an honest and honorable man.
who gives a shiat about Russia. This is the budget Republicans have wanted for decades. That Trump is the one proposing it is completely irrelevant

Stay the course. A solid record of success in the Senate, House and Oval Office back that leftist tact if you happen to be GOP.

Chris Ween: Also the video was very funny.
Who would have thought that Colbert's best impression is Rachel Maddow?

RminusQ: Hey did anyone hear about how Maddow went about this all wrong?
Only from the people who have never watched her show.
Those who watch her regularly because they find her well-informed and articulate have already moved on.

You were pretending to be a progressive Bernie supporter in primary threads. What are you pretending to be today?

Chris Ween: Ok tax lesson time. Is the AMT being repealed going to reduce d income tax for that person to next to nothing? My understanding is that the AMT is a way to pay taxes on certain amounts over a certain threshold. And you compare which is the higher rate AMT or regular tax.
So, if my recollection is right, then the amount he paid under the AMT would still be taxed just t a lower rate. Not the 3% rate though.
/Never paid the AMT but have had to run the numbers both ways a few times. Maybe I'm way off.
AMT is, in effect, a flat tax for folks who make a lot of money are are good at deductions.

Then she has the big reveal, that she has his 2005 returns, and while he did pay 25%, if not for the alternative minimum tax (which he wants to abolish), his percentage would've dropped to around 3%. A rate that USA fraction of what middle class Americans are paying.
If not for the lack of balls, my Aunt would be my Uncle.
