Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Because books.

Glad you're not iced in, Sophia!

Apparently, according to the Twitters, Rachel Maddow has Trump's tax returns.

!!!

When will 45's healthcare plan go into effect? I guess it needs to go through the House and the Senate first?

That still needs to go through committee. A lot of Republicans hate it for various reasons, this will be far from a cakewalk.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

When will 45's healthcare plan go into effect? I guess it needs to go through the House and the Senate first?

The feeling on the political end of my Twitter feed and on the Pod Save America podcast is that it's unlikely to get through the Senate without major modifications, because all it takes is 2-3 Republicans opposing it for whatever reason.

I'm torn between being excited about the potential Maddow scoop and being afraid to hope because of all the time I was SURE something would destroy 45, and yet here we are.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's a 1040 from 2005. This was, of course, during the bubble, when I'm pretty sure his cashflow was in a better state than it is nowadays.

So tired. Long day. But now I get pie. Mmm, pie.

Yeah, i would love it to be more recent taxes, but I'm watching right now...

David Cay Johnston will be discussing the tax returns on Maddow. He won a Pulitzer for tax reporting in the past, so presumably he's the guy with whom to talk about them.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I watch Maddow regularly, but was very excited to see that this was a very exciting, big-deal episode. Like meara, I wish they were slightly more recent, but - I'll take what I can get!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm finding it really difficult to get enthusiastic about 2005 tax forms.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There were three Davids, in either the first or second TableTalk thread, and Dana insisted three was too many, so two of them assumed the pseuds of Manservant Hecubus and Knut Hoarfrost.

Pfft, Knut the Difficult!
