Remember that when you pay 25 percent more on your Chinese crap at Dollar General.

Obviously it has been in the mill for some time. So why now, on a Wednesday during a week of total turmoil concerning the nomination of Supreme Court Justice?

Are they trying to trigger off Trump? Are they looking to undermine Trump so the fence sitting Senators feel no fealty for him?

Who is going to take the time to take all that info in in the middle of watching the lying bastards trying to put a lying bastard on the Supreme Court?

when we NY'ers just thought he was a dumbass. He still is but now he's a dumbass country president. The media should have destroyed him way before this clown had a chance.

Times late to the party, but at least trying now.

didn't just think he was a dumbass. We knew.

This story SHOULD be explosive. But we've weathered kids being torn from their parents and accusations of sexual assault, so, what's a little tax evasion?

Anyone who lived or worked in Manhattan in the 80s and beyond knew he was a fraud.

That should be telling.


I am so so so much looking forward to the day where I don't have to see his face anymore.

Shame on the NYT, in Trump's pocket.

That Times headline could have said a lot more....and should have been a LOT SOONER.

On edit: Rachel's show has some answers... the Times reporter has been working on this for quite some time apparently and it has happened somewhat organically.

Start watching at the 27 min mark, to save time:

have been going after him long time ago. he should never have gotten to this point.

we already know there were some payoffs where ny state officials held off going after some of the family.

if it was some minority or woman who was behaving as he did people would have gone after them then.

but he was allowed to just go by each day with the bs. showing up at fundraisers without giving anything. photo ops.

Right now, I'm trying to keep another dirt bag from getting a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS.

Let's not get distracted by the obvious.
