Amazing. Trump's 80-year old former tax preparer confirmed to @nytimes that Trump's tax docs were authentic:

A very useful tool here from @pbump on what we know about Trump's yearly tax paid:

Also do you think the NYT posted this on Sat Oct 1 so that no one had used up their ten free articles for the month?

It would make the race less close. The rest of the undecided voters will fall as they will..but that 2 or 3 who are totally offended by this..that could not only make it less close, but completely decide this election. Who knows...maybe??

all that money? Not a good businessman, as we can conclude. Trump is a very sad, sad man.

Shouldn't it be "the jig is up"? "The gig is up" seems to imply that the band might just as well go home.

But O the ecstasy of seeing this "business genius" exposed for the incompetent hack he is.

A Hillary landslide in the making? A Democratic Senate, a decent Supreme Court in my lifetime, a sweep of state houses, maybe even a Democratic House?

O, be still my heart!

Somehow, such a big loss absolves one from ever having to pay taxes again.

There ya have it folks, finance is a race to the bottom. If I remember correctly Trumpittance took it in the shorts during the crash of 1987, too.

'gut' thinking... Friends don't let friends think with their gut.

Why do these guys hate Americans?

Prisons are full of 'geniuses' like The Trumpvict.

That this race is in any doubt is a sad commentary on the extent of the dumbing down of way too many. Thanks to Faux News and Reagan who enabled the likes of Faux by doing away with the long standing Fairness Doctrine.

I'm with Sam Bee who said on to Colbert Friday she couldn't wait for this election to be over....as long as it ends well.
