adjacent to trash...Two fun stories today from Politico (right?) and the New York Times (because it wasn't written by Eric Lichtblau): Trump Tower is going bankrupt in Toronto, after cheating lots of nice people out of their condo investments, and Donald Trump makes like $10 a year off any of his properties that aren't actually losing $2.4 million.
Sure, but thousands of years of civilization have been trying to lead us AWAY from thinking like animals. Now this bunch of shitbags would like to train us back to it, and that's what we have to fight. That's what I was trying to say, if I wasn't clear. :)
Didn't Pence already try something like that (but less glamorous) in Indiana? I believe he hired an out-of-state PR firm to tout his wonderfulness to the state at the state's expense and the courts shut him down.
That's the point of claiming a 2.5 million loss. That comes off the top of any tax. While his claim of 50 million income is presented to the batch of suckers who will pay for his next scam. Borderline legal; that's what due diligence is about. Checking the claims before you sign the check... or pass over a suitcase full of rubles.
I wish I had a Canadian Anchor Baby.

Go over to New York mag and you'll hear that exact "reasoning" from some of the women who say they're voting for Don the Con. "He understands us."
You mean all that "gold" furniture in Versailles 2.0 isn't appreciating in value?
Hookers 'n blow!

Trumpkin Spice, the forgotten Spice Girl.
This understanding, it is intimate and comes from grabbing?
Surprised he found the energy to tweet eight words.
So as criminal geniuses go, Trump even fails at that.

As con-men go, Trump isn't even that good. He comes out with small change relative to the potential of an honest deal.
Cf. shooting unarmed Native Americans protesting DAPL during Native American Heritage Month with rubber bullets.
He is worth a couple billion. All in the value of the white elephants he gets other suckers to pay for. That's not liquid income.
Trump, or at least his accountants know the difference. He keeps two sets of books. One for the taxman and one for the investors.
Your lips to the voter's ears.
