she's gonna do that thing where she starts out by telling a 12 minute story about a prospector in Alaska in the 1890s.

The documents show Trump and his wife Melania paying $5.3 million in regular federal income tax—a rate of less than 4% However, the Trumps paid an additional $31 million in the so-called “alternative minimum tax,” or AMT. Trump has previously called for the elimination of this tax.

agreed, but seems like she overshot this story big time.

Trump’s 2005 return also shows that he’d continued to benefit from the roughly $916 million loss he reported in his 1995 return—published last year by The New York Times. Using a loophole Congress closed in 1996, Trump converted that loss into a tax credit for the same amount he could offset against income.

that's silly. there's no reason for him to not release the entire return now, no?

it also shows he is still taking a loss from 95 that has since been outlawed.

The Turkish-American Business Council (TAIK) will co-host the 36th annual “Conference on U.S.-Turkey Relations” with the American Turkish Council (ATC) from May 21 to May 23.

TAIK’s chairman is Ekim Alptekin, the sole proprietor of Inovo BV, a Dutch shell company that paid Flynn’s consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, $530,000 last year for work on behalf of the Turkish government.

she's playing the long game. poke, poke, poke, poke, maybe eventually the deranged subject of the nothing 2005 return does what he so often does and in a fit of pique reveals something additionally damning about himself/his children/his stooges/etc.
