Oh how jubilant the DUmmies were last night when Rachel Maddow tweeted that she had a copy of Donald Trump's income tax returns. Finally, FINALLY they had the documentation that would quickly lead to the impeachment of President Trump. Or so they thought. After a few minutes of being glued to her 9 PM EDT show on MSNBC, horrible reality suddenly set in. Not only would Trump NOT be impeached but Maddow revealed that Trump paid a respectable $38 million in federal taxes on an income of $150 million. Sudden but absolutely HILARIOUS deflation occurred starting just several minutes into the show. Blast! Foiled again! There were several such DUmmie threads so let us start with this prematurely jubilant thread, Official Rachel Maddow Show Watch Party thread! So let us now watch the DUmmies celebrate the Trump income tax revelation before it actually happens in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that their mood sharply changes to bitter gloom soon after 9 PM, is in the [brackets]:
Official Rachel Maddow Show Watch Party thread!
[WOO! HOO! Let's all celebrate the imminent downfall of the TrumpenReich with Rachel Maddow and DUmmie bettyellen who posted this thread at 8:21 PM.]
I just ordered a bottle of whiskey.
[Freudenschade, baby! And now let us prematurely celebrate with the rest of her DUmmies...]
Please let there be something there. I really hate even getting my hopes up at this point, but.....
[Posted DUmmie JTFrog at 8:22 PM. Hey, don't worry. It's in the bag! Hee! Hee!]
I really hate even getting my hopes up at this point, but.....
[But...don't worry DUmmie LenaBaby61. It is now 8:27 PM and your Trump nightmare will soon be over. Hee! Hee!]
I may get some popcorn
[Could we have a victory drink to go with that?]
I'm making a whiskey on the rocks.
[Thank you DUmmie bettyellen. It is now 8:54 PM. Just minutes to go until the earth shaking revelation.]
I'm so excited. We've been waiting for this - ANY tax news really.
[Posted DUmmie theglammistress at 8:55 PM.]
Hope this is not a trap, these could be released by Benedict Donald himself !!
[Posted DUmmie uponit7771 at 9:03 PM as Maddow was still doing the big buildup before entering Al Capone's vault.]
Rachel seems nervous Or she is trying to hold back her emotions?
[It couldn't be that she knows she is about to present a scam. Naw! It just couldn't be that.]
She said her and the guy who passed them to her will be going into detail...
[Posted expectant DUmmie betsyellen at 9:06 PM while sipping her victory whiskey on the rocks.]
she's setting it up nicely (I hope)
[9:14 PM and do I detect a slight note of skepticism from DUmmie itsrobert]
Long overture. Nothing new yet, nine minutes in. She is teasing, I think, showing how the tax records could enlighten us regarding many of the sweet deals that we already know about.
[Have patience DUmmie Baitball Blogger. You are about to be verrrry surprised.
She's explaining the probable Russian money laundering ....
[Keep stretching it out, Rachel before the BIG surprise!]
She is brilliant at setting the stage for maximum impact.
[Posted DUmmie Amaryllis at 9:12 PM.]
Right now she's summarizing Benedict Donald's nasty news... SMART, she's got an audience tonight ... and might as well go through some of the hard evidence
[Posted DUmmie uponit7771 at 9:14 PM, shortly before the evidence becomes very hard for him to accept.]
She doesn't sound like she's winging it. But, she does seem like she's building up to something. She keeps asking questions and concluding that the tax returns might be able to provide information.
[Panted the anxious DUmmie Baitball Blogger at 9:15 PM who can already taste Trump blood.]
This is a YUGE NOTHINGBURGER!
[Posted DUmmie Kaotic at 9:26 PM as the horrible truth is finally revealed]
I think the White Houses indignation on this return is fake. I think Donald released them. After all, it showed he did pay millions of taxes. IMHO. No evidence, just a hunch.
[Blubbered DUmmie riversedge at 9:36 PM in reaction to the painful truth.]
Big zero. No useful information.
[DUmmie oberliner received that revelation at 9:27 PM.]
this return makes Trump look good actually. Why only 2 pages? If you have the return to leak you would leak the WHOLE return. Nothing in this return makes him look bad...it quiets the angry mob plus he get's to bash the dishonest media for leaking it.
[Sudden insight from DUmmie Kaotic again at 9:45 PM.]
Merry Fitzmas
[Freudenschade, baby! ...Following this Freudenschade moment, the recriminations against Maddow began in DUmmieland such as this thread, donnie is the clear and overwhelming winner in this latest tax release.]
the tax returns reveal virtually nothing we didn't already know. ok, he's a beneficiary of amt. not sure that's news or not, there are certainly plenty of loopholes he takes advantage of. but he wins.
[WINNING!!! Winning and winning and winning so much that we beg President Trump to stop winning...but he won't.]
nothing illegal, nothing incriminating
[Drat! Foiled again! ...Finally Maddow is accused of the worst thought crime ever in Could Rachel actually be a republican?]
BREAKING NEWS!! BREAKING NEWS!!!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!
WE HAVE TRUMP TAXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we all get excited, wow, they must have evidence that he paid nothing, they must have something that shows he avoid paying his fare share.
There must be something juicy here.
So we wait wait and wait.
And the breaking news was that he actually paid $38 MILLION in tax.
My first reaction was, "Wow that is Huge"
The repugs reaction, would probably be the same.
I guarantee you the reaction of the independents, would've been....
"WOW THATS PRETTY STEEP"
Even Democrats are thinking "Wow he paid $38 Million in taxes????"
So why did Rachel make such a huge huge deal of it, before hand and is she in someway related to Tom Arnold?
[Thank you, DUmmie brettdale, for hilariously summing up extreme DUmmie gullibility. ...And now on to the other angry DUmmies upset at being so easily conned by Maddow.]
Her mistake was in hyping it 90 minutes beforehand on twitter....when in fact, she had nothing of real value.
[Which again prematurely caused the DUmmies to break out the victory champagne.]
This was a huge miss.
[This was a huge understatement.]
Rachel is just a slave to ratings like everyone else on TV news
[Which is why she promoted her version of opening Al Capone's vault.]
Basically, Cheeto set Rachel up and she fell for it hook, line and sinker. Cheeto is stupid but he has more than displayed when it comes to playing the media for a fool, he's well tasked at how to do so. Maybe next time, Rachel will ask more questions before running straight to the camera, reading a script. She got played on this one and was the only news program in the 9 pm ET hour to lead with this "leaked" story like it was for real, for real #BreakingNews.
[Cheeto 1, Rachel 0.]
LOL!!
Winning, winning, winning!
Thanks for posting a fun read.
Take all the people who work at MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times, Washington Post, CNN Fake News, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune.
Add up all the taxes they pay in income tax.
The amount from all these people wouldn’t even be 1/10th of what President Trump pays.
Hilarious. Was looking forward to this special edition of the Funnies
C'mon PJ, you should have pinged my Bourbon List!
I’m so excited. We’ve been waiting for this - ANY tax news really.
