Does anyone think Biden is being misrepresented here on any particular issue?

Pursuing ACB’s legal understanding of trump/GOP criminal schemes masquerading as government is as good a use of her hearing as anything. I like it.

If you want to donate the best food for the charities, for the homeless and others, donate cans of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli, and also Dinty Moore Beef Stew. The homeless people will love it.

Salute,

Tony V.

The homeless people should be fed and housed by the federal govt and state govts...and not be living on the streets in squalor, misery, and starvation.
Seeing as how govts are not providing for them, your suggestion is a very good one.

What charities and shelters and soup kitchens need more than Chef Boyardee is.... MONEY.   You can feed many more people if you buy $100 worth of stew meat and carrots and celery and taters and spices,  than if you buy $100 of canned glop.   Write a check,  then volunteer to chop veggies and man the ladle.

Police lie.

So do prosecutors.

Sheriff and former county DA arrested in the case of Javier Ambler who died during his arrest.

Police Remembrance Day in bambuland yesterday, no 1 morning radio host suggested that if we saw a police officer we should approach them and thank them for what they do.

Which is contrary to my policy regarding the police.

Might bother to answer your question when you answer mine (the one I posted six times in the past two days).

The money should be coming from the federal, and state govts...instead of sending space ships to Mars.
Nothing wrong with canned soup, I eat it.

I don't volunteer for anything, because I believe everyone should be paid for their labour.
Also that volunteers get taken advantage of,  are not always appreciated, and can suffer greatly if things go wrong...get sued, shunned, killed, burnt, etc.

This is a good summation of all the scams and marketing and promotion and other tawdry stuff Trump lent his name to and defrauded folks with.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-nyt-trump-tax-return-apprentice-20200929-yl5fltkgdbbblivpv5hm7xtj4m-story.html

What's pretty impressive is Trump even figured out a way to defraud people on real estate, as he'd get money upfront for lending his name to a project and if the project collapsed after people bought apartments or dropped deposits, well Trump didn't give a shit, his name was just used to lure people into thinking it was all reputable, but selling his name was the extent of his actual involvement.  Deceptive, if not outright fraudulent.

While Trump and real billionaires skate past the IRS, the poor are getting audited.

Especially the poor POC.

If Trump wanted to sell Turnbury and Doral, how much do you think he would get?

How about Trump Soho or Trump International DC?

More than he says they are worth for purposes of his taxes, but less than he says they are worth when he applies for loans.
