      And absolutely nobody is surprised that the presidency is the only source of profit in a sea of red. Lends a whole new meaning to “red state.” He represents constituencies that are mostly this way all the way down.https://twitter.com/susannecraig/status/1310325440020713472 …

      Just Posted: The NYT has obtained the president’s tax return information for thousands of personal and corporate returns going back decades. Here’s our first story. Watch this space for additional articles in the coming weeks. @russbuettner & @mmcintire https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.html …

      House of cards built inside a tax loophole, fueled by unsustainable debt flows, and held together by a scaffolding of tawdry legal shenanigans. Going for POTUS was clearly the last desperate trick of a desperate grifter backed into a financial corner.

      Poetically appropriate that he was chosen as the messenger of a populist surge that can be described in exactly the same way. Yeah woke, antifa, blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, EPA, and Muslims are the problem. Multidimensional bankruptcy of shit businesses has nothing to do with it

      I’ve been polite to blue-state crypto-trumpies in my milieu who have bizarre flight 93 justifications for their support but I just can’t respect sincere support for this trainwreck of failed humanity.

          Nice work by the NYT. I unsubscribed but occasionally they do pull off coups that only deeply resourced journalism can. This will change nothing, but nice to have suspicions confirmed. I can enjoy redemptive glee as these shitty people pull the rest of us down with them.

          The loserdom on display here is breathtaking. Subconscious awareness and overcompensation of it explains almost everything about Trump that still needed explaining.

          Replying to @vgr

          People can have all the right facts and all the right logic, but come out with 2 + 2 = 3 and not notice there is a major problem somewhere in the process of their 'truth'.
