Oh and hey look, more Trump Administration corruption:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/26/business/michael-milken-trump-opportunity-zones.html


The former “junk bond king” has investments in at least two major real estate projects inside federally designated opportunity zones in Nevada, near Mr. Milken’s Lake Tahoe vacation home, according to public records reviewed by The New York Times.

One of those developments, inside an industrial park, is a nearly 700-acre site in which Mr. Milken is a major investor. Last year, after pressure from Mr. Milken’s business partner and other landowners, the Treasury Department ignored its own guidelines on how to select opportunity zones and made the area eligible for the tax break, according to people involved in the discussions and records reviewed by The Times.

The unusual decision was made at the personal instruction of Mr. Mnuchin, according to internal Treasury Department emails. It came shortly after he had spent time with Mr. Milken at an event his institute hosted.
“People were troubled,” said Annie Donovan, who previously ran the Treasury office in charge of designating areas as opportunity zones. She and two of her former colleagues said they were upset that the Treasury secretary was intervening to bend rules, though they said they didn’t realize at the time that Mr. Mnuchin’s friend stood to profit. The agency’s employees, Ms. Donovan said, “were put in a position where they had to compromise the integrity of the process.”

And then Milken writes the Trump Campaign a big fat check via a PAC and no one need ever know. Free Speech!

The republicans are running a cheap whore with daddy issues. Currently there can be no better embodiment of the soul of the republican party.

Mostly agree.   Some of us, for various reasons, did stay with a more counterculture perspective.  And those of us who rejected consumerism and materialism and me-first often had to contend with a culture that wanted to teach our children the opposite.  My son eventually rejected materialism so wholeheartedly as to live like a Buddhist.   And I'm seeing that refreshing approach in a fair number of millennials who seem to have discovered that life is more about experiences than things.  (now if my daughter would just get her freaking things out of our shed... I'm sure disposing of them would be an experience)

Plate III and final state....

I like it. It puts the two defining figures of the American century so far into proper perspective.

Here's a softball question or two:

What has Trump done well with foreign policy?

Any countries or situations he has improved?



 ISIS was basically rolled up with ops started and underway during the O Admin.

Nothing like a false premise to set a ridiculous response.

Clinton derangement has a consistent root cause.

Nobody ascribes decent human motivations to you either Kiid, you mangy scavenger.

May you lose your papers and spend the rest of your life in a gulag archipelago on our southern border, or as they are currently referred to’ “trump hotels”. They are currently the cleanest and least infested properties trump has his name attached to.

We know you are all for vermin rights, so long as the vermin is fat, white, and past it.

What would you like me to do? Chastise them for mocking Ward/Jim/ESPN3? Give them a time out? Edit their posts?

Or do you mean to suggest that this is akin to threatening to expose aspects of Jim's real life or accusing him of being a sex criminal?!

Do whatever you want

Do whatever you want

I'm sure I will, Kid, but I asked a simple question:

What did you want me to do?
