Why are you so intent on both-sidesing all of this?
Whatever the GOP has on Biden will come out before Election Day, you can be sure of that.
And the fact is that he’s been in public politics for nearly five decades. There’s just not likely to be anything consequential at this point.
So you just assume unnamed sources are always telling the truth? I certainly don't. The problem is that the media doesn't care if they are telling the truth. It is all agenda driven.

And though I’m not a fan of NYT not naming their sources, Trump could also prove his own allegations of Fake News and make the NYT look like a bunch of idiots by releasing, like, just one page of his returns.
But he won’t
and we all know why.
Agreed.
I am sure he has massive amounts of depreciation expense (a non cash "expense") and massive amounts of interest paid to banks. So it is not hard to believe that he takes a loss or close to it nearly every year.
I like depreciation expense in theory. It helps in various ways...but maybe there should be a limit on it? Feels like at a certain point it is just a loop hole to avoid taxes.
It doesn't avoid taxes, it just defers them. Or if the asset is truly depreciating, spreads the loss out.

Facile again.
Not every unnamed source situation is the same. Take Trump's "losers and suckers". Multiple competing news sources confirmed it from whoever those multiple sources are. As opposed to, say, Obama saying "don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck this up", which is one unnamed source in one Politico article.

Actually it’s more like “They Both Have Side Effects: Arsenic vs. Aspirin Edition.”
Finally a critical mass of people are actually beginning to realize that arsenic is toxic

No, I don’t trust someone posting inside information here. But I do trust the editorial processes at places like the NYT (which, I’d note, takes a ton of incoming by how they tend to frame things in a both-sidesy way).
Especially in a case where it would be very, very easy for Trump to prove the reporting was false.

The fact there has been no actual dispute shows the info is accurate. These docs aren’t that hard to find. Getting someone to leak them is the issue.

Right. And the source of the leak is even odds to be susceptible to imprisonment.

I’ve said it before: PPV, proceeds to the American Red Cross or similar.

Are the proud boys even a white supremacist group? Or does it not even matter?

If true, it doesn't make it better that Trump doesn't know who the Proud Boys are. It just means that he is incompetent. But I strongly doubt that it is true that he doesn't know ow who they are.

How many of you really knew who the proud boys were? I certainly didn't. They have a few hundred members. There are motorcycle gangs bigger than them.
