Thanks Lejardin. I just don't watch them. Have tuned in a couple of times in the past and to me they were boring.

What I don't understand is WHY is MSNBC still on the air? Does Zucker have an infinite source of $$$ that he can continue to fund such a piece of garbage? As for Madcow, you are right, she is a very mean and angry woman. She comes to mind when the word sarcasm comes up. Way to go Zucker, MSNBC is the lowest of low, even Clinton Network is better than Zucker so-called "news".

I did deep internet research, and I discovered that the average IQ of her regular viewership is less than 90. So last night she put up this farce to gain attention and it failed miserably because normal people watched it out of curiosity and saw right through the lie.

Rachel is a hate spewing, angry, frustrated, and not "so very smart" person. I think she is at odds with her sexuality being life long lesbian and feels she has to prove herself everyday to maintain her troubled psychosis. Something is missing in her life and this is how she copes to avoid what is really in her ID(Freud ID BTW), my advice to Rachel follow your ID and find happiness. WDYT?

Rachel Maddow Turned a Scoop on Donald Trump s Taxes Into a Cynical, Self-Defeating Spectacle

.....A few hours after Maddow finished airing, this has become a popular conspiracy theory, simply because, if Donald Trump were to share any of his tax returns, the 2005 1040 seems like a good candidate. Trump paid taxes at a rate of around 4 percent, but because of the alternate minimum tax, he also paid an additional $31 million. The form revealed that, rather than not paying taxes and making no money, Trump paid $38 million on $150 million in income. Maddow promised to pull a sordid revelation out of a hat and instead plucked out Trump s credibility? Maddow was soon parsing, asking Johnston to explain that Trump is currently trying to do away with the AMT, which, unfair as it may be, still wouldn t change the amount he paid in 2005.

As the show went on, it became clear that Maddow knew she didn't quite have the scoop that had been promised. .....
