It's because the story was from 2016...
Donald J. Trump explicitly acknowledged for the first time during Sunday’s debate that he used a $916 million loss that he reported on his 1995 income tax returns to avoid paying personal federal income taxes for years.
Mr. Trump’s response — “Of course I do. Of course I do” — was the fullest the wealthy developer had provided since The New York Times reported that he had declared the loss, and that the tax deduction could have been large enough to allow him to avoid federal income taxes for up to 18 years.
Previously he had declined to comment on the documents, issuing a statement that neither challenged nor confirmed the $916 million loss.
That's what it's come down to here folks. The Democrats and their media cronies are not capable of coming up with a good "new scandal" so they just refurbish an old story and pretend that it's a scandal.
The bigger question here is how well is the NY Times capable of fooling their loyal (but not too bright followers)? Did our friendly liberals here believe this was a new bombshell as was being implied or where they smart enough (like most of us) to know that this was just another hoax?
BTW
Does it cross anyone's mind that the main reason people wanted Trump's tax returns was not to complain about how little he paid in taxes, which is quite literally all that has come from this? The only real question is whether to yawn once, twice, or three times.
Does anyone even pretend to recall that Trump haters were sure that his tax returns would uncover ties to Russia, more corrupt details on non-disclosure-agreements, business interests that were corrupt or possibly put him in compromising positions... or ultimately that someone digging through ten years of Trump's tax returns would return smoking gun proof of something illegal. Yet, all it shows is that Trump hired likely the best tax accountants in the country and paid as little as possible in taxes? That doesn't make him anything other than a good businessman.
I think I will go with three yawns!

A SUGGESTION ON HOW TO BEAT TRUMP IN THE DEBATE:
Ignoring facts on COVID and his taxes
Trump’s greatest, deepest fear is not being taken seriously, so he won’t enjoy having his attacks dismissed. Along the same lines, if Wallace brings up Trump's tax returns, Biden should say, “Look, I don’t blame President Trump for being embarrassed about his tax returns, I would be too, if I were him. But here’s the deal. This is part of a pattern of Trump playing pretend and refusing to face facts.
"Despite six bankruptcies and a taxable income that would qualify him for food stamps, I think President Trump genuinely believes he’s some sort of great businessman, just like he gives himself an A+ for handling the coronavirus pandemic even though we’ve got more than 200,000 dead Americans and rising infection rates. This kind of detachment from reality is killing America and it has to stop.”

Fun thing for the debate would be @realDonaldTrump having a copy of his 1040 in his pocket and forcing Chris Wallace to read off the 7 figures of federal tax that the Trump Org. paid.
Hope also Chris doesn't let Joe get away with using the "fine people" & "loser/sucker" hoaxes.
Well Joe has had a lot of time to rest up for this debate so he should have gotten cleared up on those.
And he can always fall back to his many accomplishments, civil rights marcher, graduating at the top of his class, getting three degrees, starting out at an all-black college, and how proud he is of the Biden name.
He might even have Hunter in the front row.
If he didn't get diverted to the front row of the local strip club.
ROFLMFAO !!!
Quote of the Day at politicalwire.com:
“It’s one thing to be a private citizen and not pay taxes because you’re, quote-unquote, smart. It’s another to do it as a leader of a country you’re supposed to be protecting and caring about, it’s deeply unpatriotic.”
— Mary Trump, in an interview on MSNBC.
the GOP establishment has stayed completely silent on this tax story and rightly so. by acknowledging and addressing exactly none of it, it leaves the left trapped in their own echo chamber.
Ask Mary Trump if it's patriotic for Trump to donate his entire first term salary to the federal government.
Sen. Ron Johnson on Monday said the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which he chairs, is poised to release a damning report on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s dealings in Ukraine.
“Stay tuned. In about a week we’re going to learn a whole lot more of Vice President Biden’s unfitness for office,” the Wisconsin Republican said on a call with supporters, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Johnson’s committee has been investigating Hunter Biden’s employment by a Ukrainian energy company during the time his father led the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy.
During my investigation, a core group of names continued to surface regarding the organization and operation of the voter fraud scheme. Witnesses have stated to me that Precinct 1 Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and District 13 Texas State Senator Borris Miles are leading the illegal ballot harvesting operation in Harris County, Texas. Their chief lieutenants are Houston businessman Gerald Womack and political consultant Dallas Jones who work directly under them in executing the ballot harvesting operation in Harris County, Texas.
Witnesses have shown me and described to me how the ballot harvesters take absentee ballots from the elderly in nursing homes, from the homeless, and from unsuspecting residences’ mailboxes. The ballot harvesters then complete the ballots for their preferred candidate and forge the signature of the “voter”. Two witnesses stated to me that there are two individuals employed at the Harris County Clerk’s Office who are aware of the illegal ballots and help facilitate and mask the processing of the ballots into the legal stream of ballots.
I have been made aware of a law enforcement investigation in the Spring of 2020 regarding illegal ballot harvesting. Several interviews of individuals were conducted. After the interviews became public, former Harris County Clerk Diane Troutman, resigned alleging health concerns due to COVID-19. However, witnesses have told me that Ms. Troutman was arguing with Commission Rodney Ellis about the legality of the mass purchasing and mailing of mail-in ballots and that Troutman was concerned she would be included in the eventual arrest pertaining to illegal ballot harvesting. Instead of coming forward and exposing the scheme, Ms. Troutman abruptly resigned. Witnesses have stated that Commissioner Ellis was not deterred and continued to move forward with the plan to mass mail ballots and expand the illegal ballot harvesting scam. Another witness stated to me that an employee of Commission Ellis, Tyler James, has bragged that he could guarantee that the illegal ballot harvesting operation, with the help of mass mail-in ballots, could harvest 700,000 illegal ballots.
It appears that law enforcement agencies are currently investigating these alleged crimes and I will provide them with the evidence that I have already collected and am continuing to collect. Sadly, these law enforcement agencies will be working to prosecute these crimes well after the November 3, 2020 election.
Ask Mary Trump if it's patriotic for Trump to donate his entire first term salary to the federal government.
Ask Mary Trump if it's patriotic for Trump to donate peanuts to the federal government while bilking We The People out of millions.
bilking = following the law.
huh. there's a new one.
Ask Mary Trump is she has any idea what the hell James is talking about.
Oh, and Trump just received his third Nobel peace Prize nomination. This one from a group of australians. Let liberal heads explode.
Scott, it's not a hoax.
The President is a hoax
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky’s attorney general has acknowledged that he never asked the grand jury to consider homicide charges against police in the killing of Breonna Taylor.
The President is losing his base of white blue collar voters. This is one of the reasons.
A working construction tradesman pays over $1,200 income taxes
They aren't suckers and losers, they will vote for Biden and Harris in record numbers in November
You are getting desperate,because you have been reading the polls.
An obscure blog is not going to change any minds
Do you think Trump will be dumb enough to bring up Beau Biden?

excellent.
Chris Wallace's first question to Trump tomorrow night should be. "What the f××k is wrong with you?"
I tweeted this to @realDonaldTrump
It gives the impression that he was playing politics, instead of investigating for murder charges.

why would he?
a better question is - is hunter still fucking beau's widow?
LOL
rrb (Republican Rat Bastard, as he calls himself) must have a right wing dictionary which defines
to bilk as "to follow the law."
Most dictionaries:
to bilk to obtain or withhold money from (someone) by deceit or without justification; cheat or defraud.
"he bilked the taxpayer of billions of dollars"
Similar: swindle defraud cheat fleece exploit deceive trick con bamboozle swizzle sting rip off screw shaft take for a ride take to the cleaners pull a fast one on put one over on
sell someone a pup rook finagle gyp stiff
bunco hornswoggle sucker snooker pull a swifty on cozen evade elude.
bilk is your word pederast.
according to the IRS, Trump has complied with the letter of the law. he even paid forward $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017.
another reason i know you to not be a pastor. no reputable pastor commits the sin of envy as regularly as you do.
every fucking time some asshole liberal says "so and so didn't pay their fair share of taxes" it needs to be met with a chuckle and an eye roll.
Ex-Prosecutor Says Trump Committed Tax Fraud
Nick Akerman,
who served on the prosecution team during the 1970s Watergate investigation, told CNN he believed President Trump would likely face tax fraud charges upon leaving the White House.
Said Ackerman:
“Tax avoidance is simply taking the tax code and getting the most deductions you can get under the code that is perfectly legal.
"Tax fraud, however, is lying about what your income was, lying about what your deductions are, and there’s a couple of items that just stand out in that report from the New York Times that really appear to go beyond tax avoidance.”

so...
our IRS IS incompetent.
thought so.
Anybody chuckling and eye rolling?

At the fact that CNN can find someone to suggest that Trump broke the law when in fact that IRS has not made that case for any of those years? If he had broken the law prior to becoming President, then he would have been charged with breaking the law prior to becoming President.
The idea that former "investigators" (rather then the IRS) are the ones who are better equipped to handle legal tax questions is certainly something that "should" produce some "chuckling and eye rolling".
Wouldn't you agree, Reverend?
