Maddow's Trump Tax Return announcement

Are you claiming that not paying taxes is a crime?

I have a better analogy:

Let’s suppose there’s proof that you molested 900 billion children in 1995. The NY Times prints an article saying that based on this trend you may have continued to molest children until 2005. Reasonable conclusion?

You love analogies, so here’s one for you.

Some animal species thought to be extinct for years have been found to be alive.

Should these findings:

a) be kept quiet as to not upset the previously reached conclusions?
b) be published to correct and inform previously incorrectly drawn conclusions?
c) be used to accuse those who didn’t have newly discovered data of being liars?

I’m declaring the whole analogy about another poster thing off-limits. It’s intentionally provocative and aids in discussion not at all.

All participants going forward will avoid such or incur sanctions.

This is a warning for failure to follow a moderator’s instructions.


I’m loathe to give you two warnings in one post, but this on its own I would typically also give a warning for, though I am passing at this time. Do not personalize arguments in this fashion - It’s being a jerk.

Along the same lines, let’s steer clear of personalizing like this as well.

Mods around here are like… <ducks & runs>

Well, this thread has sure turned super.

We didn’t have to wait long for this:

As little as there was, it was meaningful in a way that haters, breitboys and russian trolls knew they needed to tamp down as best they could. Good luck with that shit.
