If there was anything important regarding Trump, it would have leaked prior to the election.

Trump knows he's in the clear. The only thing that can nail him now is a mistake when answering Mueller's interrogatories. Those are traps for someone to make even an arguable misstatement which will then be portrayed as a lie. In a more complex fashion, the questions are versions of "answer yes or no, have you stopped beating your wife."

The whole thing was a politically contrived crock of shit.

Russian interference, lol. Some Russians "linked' to the Russian government posted facebook ads which were critical of and mocked Democrat and Republican candidates, and sowed discord and fomented distrust in American institutions and candidates. Oh, no, a Russian lady said she had dirt on Hillary Clinton, and the Trumps would have been glad to hear about it! That's a threat to Democracy! Oh, no! Run! The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

This geo-blocked article reports Trump's tax plan will end up costing Americans money.

http://www.tribpub.com/gdpr/nydailynews ... Mwng1HWy2o

Can anyone who can read it shed light?

Anyone who isn't a Trump conspiracy theorist linking InfoWars that is.
Your link just leads to this:
Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism.
No other info. :dunno:
Hmm..
The problem with the taxes was that people were not instructed properly on withholdings of tax on w-2 form with employer. Therefore they end up owing taxes in 2019. The "tax cut" they enjoyed during 2018.
https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny- ... story.html
They may, but if they owe taxes because they didn't check enough deductions on their W-2, it means they didn't have as much of their tax taken out of their paycheck. It's not that they owe more taxes than they otherwise would owe without the tax cut. Without the tax cut, they would have paid more in taxes. The deductions only determine if the tax is paid out of each check, or at the time of filing on April 15 of the following year.

I.e., it's lawful for someone to have no tax taken out of their paycheck, but they will then owe tax on April 15 at tax filing time. So, for most people, it's better to have tax taken out of each paycheck, so they don't spend the money on other things and have insufficient funds to pay tax on April 15.

Looks like a Trump-appointed judge ordered Acosta get his privileges.

Trump has ”answered” Mueller questions. He has not had time to read what he answered.

temporarily, pending hearing the case on the merits.

Acosta's conduct would not be tolerated by any other President, and if it was a Fox reporter doing that shit to Obama, the Democrat media would have lined up right behind Obama. Fox News, in this case, joined CNN et al, because they are smart enough to know that the next President may be Democrat and eventually will be Democrat, and they now have a precedent that says they can fuck with the Democrat President.

Acosta may have one that little battle. But he can't ultimately win this. Wait...

Well lucky for Trump he's a stable genius. He has nothing to fear from Mueller.

On Twitter about Elvis medal:
Think just solved it! Medal of Freedom to Elvis is code to the Mother Ship (cause 🕺🏿 lives!) to beam Kang and Kodus down because they will take Trump - who is Homer; back to storage. Matt Groening will be 👑of U.S. Not sure if Trumpism potion was in water & air. Immunity was??

President Niinistö was asked if he discussed raking of leaves with Trump:
https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-200000590 ... Df_azqAGUU
Trumpin mukaan Suomella ei ole samanlaista ongelmaa maastopalojen suhteen, koska ”he käyttävät paljon aikaa (lehtien) haravointiin”. Hän väittää keskustelleensa asiasta Suomen presidentin kanssa.

– Totesin hänelle, että Suomi on metsien peittämä maa, mutta meillä on myös hyvä valvontajärjestelmä ja -verkko, Niinistö kertoo ja muistelee sanoneensa, että ”we take care of our forests”.
Trump mentions Finns raking leaves in forests. This is not done. They do collect a lot of the brush and take it to some biofuel plants nowadays. Niinistö did emphasize monitoring of fires. Ecologist say they now have too few fires.
