Rachel Maddow almost looked uncomfortable presenting the lead-in to tonight’s “bombshell” on Trump’s tax returns. She knew it was about to be one of the most epic ghost loads in television; publishing two pages of Trump’s 2005 tax return, the first page of which had already been leaked to the New York Times. In exposing the 12 year old snippets, Maddow inadvertently revealed a few things that make Trump look pretty good:
1. He paid a way higher tax rate than Mitt Romney, Bernie Sanders, and Obama (at 18.7%).
Trump 2005 tax rate: 25%
Romney 2011 tax rate: 14.1%
Sanders 2014 tax rate: 13.5%— zerohedge (@zerohedge) March 15, 2017
2. He paid higher taxes than Comcast (24%) – which owns MSNBC – the same network that hosts tax cheat “Rev.” Al Sharpton and 8 others with IRS liens against them.
3. Hillary Clinton was TOTALLY WRONG when she said Trump was avoiding releasing his taxes to hide “that he’s paid nothing in Federal taxes”
4. The left has NOTHING on Trump – if this is the best they’ve got. Maddow’s entire lead-in was trying to insinuate all sorts of things about Trump’s business ties overseas (old news), and even went so far as to imply that Preet Bharara was fired for investigating Trump.
In the words of Bob Dylan (perhaps the only song he didn’t steal) “when you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose” – and the song is about a lying, cheating whore who gets what she deserves and ends up lonely in the end.
Mark Dice may have put it best:

Who did Bob Dylan steal songs from?
Ever wondered? Who the fuck is Madcow. What? Did that dude just sprout out of the ground like a bankster green shoot. Who are U Madcow.
I was thinking of his first album (self titled) which only had 2 original songs (Talkin’ New York and Song to Woody) & the other 11 were covers and new arrangements of old folk songs.
But that was an unfair statement to Dylan – I take it back. Throughout his career he wrote a ton of his own shit and a lot of songs for other musicians, and he did a lot of covers too.

Can’t get you off my mind
Iron, she did come out of nowhere. Maddow looks like a young boy – maybe that has something to do with it?
