no doubt, he clearly is no business strategist either

His father and Roy Cohn taught him an army of lawyers goes a long way. Always be the first to sue, always mire everything in litigation, especially eyes into your own finances. Trump doesn't create wealth, his brand is all that matters, and with enough real estate assets and bullying, even terrible business decisions have little consequence

`The reality of the Trumps' arrangement with the casino was a little bit more complicated than that. The casino ended up spending a ton of money on Trump products, including about a quarter of a million dollars for Trump-branded water in both 2009 and 2010, filings show. Those payments, however, went to third-party vendors — to whoever it is that gets a cut of that particular piece of the Trump brand — and through them into the Trump universe.

From the filing:


"In the normal course of business, we engage in various transactions with other entities owned by the Trump Parties. We engaged in the following transactions: $47,000 and $79,000 for leasing certain office space in Trump Tower in Manhattan during 2010 and 2009, respectively; $3,000 and $77,000 for the periodic use of Mr. Trump's airplane and golf courses to entertain high-end customers during 2010 and 2009, respectively; and $33,000 in helicopter lease payments during 2010.

"Additionally, in the ordinary course of business during 2010 and 2009, we purchased from third party vendors $405,000 and $500,000, respectively, of Trump labeled merchandise, including $271,000 and $277,000, respectively, for Trump Ice bottled water served to our customers. While we do not directly pay royalties on such merchandise to Mr. Trump, he may be entitled to royalties from these third party vendors."`

Lol

```According to a report from Voice of America, military leaders at the Pentagon are growing increasingly concerned with the popularity of Russian President Vladimir Putin within the military ranks due to the influence of Russian propaganda and Donald Trump’s boosterism.

```

```Donald Trump broke out of his Twitter hibernation on Saturday afternoon just before flying off to Florida for a pair of fundraisers, and used the opportunity to declare himself the “greatest of all presidents.”```

Lol

What legislation is that?

Remember the infrastructure bill he didn’t do?

lol that statement

McConnell is holding up everything except the judge appointments

Meadows is probably gone since the re-districting, asheville will no longer be all chopped up

Good point

They tried so hard, but I think NC is too smart for current day GOP

and the military people aren't stupid either, they watched that senate shit with the medical stuff

It’s definitely a swing state

And certainly part of the “sun belt” path

As soon as it opens up, republicans can’t hold the national government

They may have a gap here between the closing of the rust belt and opening of the sun belt

But like, Texas will be blue in the 2030 census

do you think the 'democrats' will stay together or will the liberals and progressives part ways?

It's been a while since there's been any official divide in an American Party

At least over a century

there have been some titantic shifts in the meantime, especially during the Yankee-Cowboy war

JFK shifted the Dems quite a lot

Before JFK, the Dems were pro-segregation and anti-civil rights

Being the Party of Woodrow Wilson, a Southerner who pushed the idea that the Civil War was nothing to do with slavery

JFK changed that quite a lot

Suez, Iran, and korea too

||| Johnson was a cowboy, so it was deeper than that. JFK to Johnson was basically the final shot in the war
JFk represented the merged Eastern Establishment(the Yankees) after the Morgans surrendered to the Rockefellers(FDR)
FDR's insistence on destroying the British Empire was a major part of it, really cut the ties to Britain for many of our elites. might partially be why the Euros sort of prodded us into Vietnam, Robert THompson et al
Suez, Iran, and korea too
The Lost Causers are in the story but they mostly just care about the domestic issues and propaganda around the Civil War. Sadly I think they have destroyed libertarianism if they didnt' start it to begin with ||

Sorry I had to hide that from the kids

"They don't want our greatest of all presidents impeached!"

False modesty is also dishonest
