My best wishes go out to Stephen Hillenburg, who’s been diagnosed with ALS.
Trump paid $38 million tax on $150 million income in 2005, report and White House say
On Tuesday evening, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow released partial documents from one of Trump’s tax returns showing the president paid $38 million on over $150 million in income from his business and media empire in 2005.
A simultaneous report on the Daily Beast, where Johnston is a contributor, showed Trump and his wife Melania paid a cumulative $5.3 million in regular income taxes, a rate of under 4%, and another $31 million in the “alternative minimum tax,” a tax for individuals and organizations with special circumstances that allow them to pay a lower rate.
That means, in 2005, Trump paid net federal taxes of roughly 25.33%. As the Daily Beast noted, Trump appears to have taken advantage of a $916 million loss from his casino businesses in 1995 to lower his overall tax burden even as late 2005.
The two pages of Trump’s 2005 were released on Johnston’s website, though it was crashing from heavy traffic as of Tuesday evening.
In response, the White House gave an identical quote to several media organizations confirming that Trump paid $38 million on his 2005 tax bill, Reuters’ Jennifer Ablan reported. The White House added the president had a responsibility to “pay no more than legally required.” Read more (3/14/17 9:35 PM)
Update: Trump wants to get rid of the alternative minimum tax. Now we know why.
On Tuesday, MSNBC revealed part of President Donald Trump’s 2005 tax returns, which showed that Trump paid $38 million on $150 million worth of income that year.
The majority of that bill — $31 million — is based on a tax designed to make rich people pay their fair share.
It also just happens to be one of the many taxes Trump wants to abolish. Trump’s tax plan from his 2016 presidential campaign called for the elimination of the alternative minimum tax as well as a reduction of federal income tax rates overall. Read more (3/14/17 10:25 PM)
To Trump voters
Clears throat…
He called Hillary Clinton a crook. You bought it. Then he paid $25 million to settle a fraud lawsuit.
He said he’d release his tax returns, eventually. You bought it. He hasn’t, and says he never will.
He said he’d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest. You bought it. He is still heavily involved in his businesses, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.
He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said. You bought it. He then proceeded to put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.
He said he’d surround himself with all the best and smartest people. You bought it. He nominated theocratic loon Mike Pence for Vice President. A white supremacist named Steve Bannon is his most trusted confidant. Dr. Ben Carson, the world’s greatest idiot savant brain surgeon, is in charge of HUD. Russian quisling Rex Tillerson is Secretary of State.
He said he’d be his own man, beholden to no one. You bought it. He then appointed Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, whose only “qualifications” were the massive amounts of cash she donated to his campaign.
He said he would “drain the swamp” of Washington insiders. You bought it. He then admitted that was just a corny slogan he said to fire up the rubes during the rallies, and that he didn’t mean it.
He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the Generals did. You bought it. He promptly gave the green light to a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though all his Generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained.
He said Hillary Clinton couldn’t be counted on in times of crisis. You bought it. He didn’t even bother overseeing that raid in Yemen; and instead spent the time hate-tweeting the New York Times, and sleeping.
He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times “fake news” and said they were his enemy. You bought it. He now gets all his information from Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.
He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done. You bought it. He took his first vacation after 11 days in office. On the taxpayer’s dime. And went golfing.
and that’s just the first month.

Domestically.
please get on this! Protect Black Girls! We as community have to look after each other.
She said that she was at a hotel in LA. People on Twitter were able to track her IP address and later found out that she was/is in Mountain View, CA. She has not responded/posted on Snapchat in a couple of hours. She said there’s two guys there, one who goes by the name of Tank. They’re black, taller than her (like 6 foot or something) and wearing white and gray. This is a picture of one of the men She sent it to someone who messaged her.
Omg. BOOOOST
BOOST BOOST BOOST
Please find her and get her home safe!
PROTECT OUR GIRLS!!!!
So I added her this morning (6:55am) March 10, and replied to her story. I wrote “oh wow you have a popsocket on your phone! I have one too!” And she replied “popsockers”. Then I said “I heard you say you’re in LA! I grew up here; how long are you here for?” And she hasn’t messaged back since. It’s now 7:24am. This story is making me uneasy

“White women elected Trump. Black, brown, trans and queer women have been doing this for far longer and at far greater peril.” Any kind of real solidarity from allies has got to start with acknowledging these truths.
Acknowledge white privilege, and acknowledge who has been fighting for equality from day one, and then use that privilege to help put marginalized people in charge.
WE NEED 3 SENATORS TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES TO PREVENT DeVos FROM BEING CONFIRMED!!!
The vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Sec of Education was delayed. The hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will now be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 31, according to an advisory from the committee. And now to act (esp my ME, GA, NC and SC friends)! Betsy DeVos is up for confirmation as U.S. Education Secretary, and many, many educators have expressed strongly that she is not qualified to ensure quality education in this country.
Please consider calling one of the following Republican Senators (key in the confirmation vote) to express your opinion on the appointment. At least 3 of these need to be convinced in order to block DeVos’ nomination. Don’t email. Don’t tweet. Don’t complain on Facebook. Call them!
Then, PLEASE SHARE WIDELY:
If you live in one of the states represented below, PLEASE call YOUR Senator, If you don’t, pick one and call him/her:
Susan Collins (ME) 207.622.8414..&..202.224.2523 Lamar Alexander (TN) 615.736.5129..&..202.224.4944 Lisa Murkowski (AK) 907.586.7277..&..202.224.6665 Johnny Isakson (GA) 770.661.0999..&..202.224.3643 Orrin Hatch (UT) 801.524.4380..&..202.224.5251 Richard Burr (NC) 336.631.5125..&..202.224.3154..&.. 910.251.1058..&..828.350.2437 Michael Enzi (WY) 202.224.3424 Dr. Bill Cassidy (LA) 202.224.5824 Pat Roberts (KS) 202.224.4774 Tim Scott (SC) 202.224.6121 Rand Paul (KY) 202.224.4343

IF the state is one you live in call. They don’t really have reason to listen if they don’t represent you.
If your state is not listed here, signal boost.
What to make the first real blow to fighting back against Trump? There is a fucking vote in 100 days
Some places are voting early, and if you are pissed off at Trump’s….everything here is where you hit him back, voting in these elections. If you know anybody from these states, let them know, this is is how the Tea Party fought back in 2009, now it is our turn.
First off Delaware’s 10th State Senate District
Democrats will lose control of the State Senate if they lose one more seat to Republicans, making the 10th district crucial. The district is very close, won by an incumbent Democrat in 2014 by only 267 votes.
The election will be held on February 25th, with Democrat Stephanie Hansen facing off against Republican John Marino and Libertarian Joseph Lanzendorfer.“
To donate to Stephanie Hansen follow this link: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/keepdeblue
Secondly we have Georgia’s 6th U.S. Congressional District
The 6th District leans Republican, but a strong Democratic primary is mobilizing the community early. The presence of well-resourced campaigns and the variability of special elections make this district flippable.
Election date is pending Tom Price’s appointment to Trump’s cabinet. Let’s elect a Democrat to replace him.”
If you know of any Democrats in the area, please pass along the message.
Finally, Michigan’s 31st State Senate District Michigan will be a key state in the 2020 presidential elections. By flipping Michigan’s state legislature—beginning with this seat—we can significantly improve our chances in 2020. The chance for upsets in well-resourced special elections makes this a target race.
Election date is pending Mike Green’s appointment to Trump’s cabinet.“
Three elections in the next 100 days, all of which can serve as the first step to taking our country back from absolute madness.
Pass this around seriously anybody from those districts know what difference they can make
great way to kick off black history month
For me, this isn’t about her, personally.
For me, this is about the profound hypocrisy of the so-called conservatives who never want to spend any tax money to actually help make our country and the people who live in it a little better, never want to actually invest money in education, infrastructure, public health, or any of the things that will have enormous benefits for all Americans, but don’t say a single thing about this totally unnecessary waste of money.
for me it is also about how shit melania is (and that whole family), but yeah.
How do white people not see they are what’s wrong with this world?
How do black people not see they are whats wrong with this world?
Literally name one problem caused by black people that has affected everyone in this world. I’ll wait.
Your missing the point you dumbass.
Right, I’m the one who missed the point
Slaves, Africa did that shit. sooooo….. maybe try again.
Oops first mistake. African tribes and nations treated slaves as indentured servants…ya know, kinda like, idk…PEOPLE? They didn’t dehumanize them, strip them of their culture, bar them from literature and basic human rights. So you tried it boo. But not today. Happy Black History Month
Servanthood and chattel slavery are 2 different things.
Homie really blamed Africa for slaves like white European colonial assholes didn’t steal more Africans than they bought. White Revisionist history strikes again.
The actual thought, to even BUY a human being starts at Terrorist to say the least

This is my home, it’s happening in my home
