Many people say that sooner or later, probably sooner, the Trump tax returns that the ny times obtained will be obtained by other journalists, then put on the internet in full and all that expert crowdsourcing will not only produce more insight about Trump's finances, but also will cause even more evidence to come out.

No one will touch him financially, and he'll have no one to bail him out. Not even a line of credit to tide things over.

He'll end up personally bankrupt.

He'll wind up a criminal defendant, fighting off charges of tax and financial fraud, and he might not be even able to foot his lawyers' bills, if any decent lawyers will still work for him.

He's done.

Not just politically, but financially and legally.

Stephen King is entertaining and well aware that he writes fiction.

Oh I didn't know that you're a fan, Stephen King has some great thoughts on Tweety

Trump supporters, explain to your children why you are supporting an adulterer, draft dodger, liar, and tax cheat. Bonus point if you avoid telling them the lie that it’s “fake news.”

Trump supporters don't believe the info about Trump's tax cheating is important, even if true. Assure them that it is true and it matters a great deal. He's a HUGE national security risk.

Trump supporters don't wear masks because it's their way of saying "I'm with stupid."

200,000 dead from COVID-19. At least 145,000 of those deaths could have been prevented if President Trump had taken decisive action. He did not, and because he did not, he does not deserve a second term.

America is suffering fires, floods and plague. If this had happened under Obama, the fundamentalists and righties would be screaming END TIMES!

From the side that worships Bill Clinton to this day. Want to explain how you can idolize Bill Clinton but say that Trump isn't decent enough? When lawyers decide you're too sleazy to be one of them, you're a scumbag.

Here's what I tell my 14 year-old, it's the truth, and it suffices. I'm not voting for him to be a hero or a role model or anyone's idea of what a good person should be. I'm voting for whoever will do a better job protecting the unborn, growing the economy, going after terrorists, advocating for law and order, limiting federal power to what the constitution enumerates.

Those are my priorities. Who should I vote for?

That was the liberal argument for ignoring Bill Clinton's character - that he's doing things liberals want done - and conservatives at the time ridiculed it as a sign of a bankrupt party selling its soul. I guess the GOP was right all along about the price of selling out.

SO you're also saying that liberals flip-flopped. With Bill Clinton, they said ignore character and only pay attention to results. Right?

I accepted that argument, as I said then, and still say today, that Clinton was a scumbag who happened to be a good president.

I'm sorry Pete, if you idolize Bill CLinton, you can't lecture anyone else on the importance of character. That's the definition of wanting to have it both ways (as many republicans also want).

Amazing you point put the republican hypocrisy, and not a syllable about democrat hypocrisy on the same exact issue. You probably can't even see the democrat hypocrisy.
