Why did that stupid song "Everything is Awesome" come to mind?

A million ($/rubles) is worthless unless you can move it. It even lacks the value of toilet tissue which is incredibly important and frankly doesn't get the respect it deserves.

That amount would raise flags if translated into stock or deposited in a bank. The loose oversight of cash real estate sales makes it an ideal place to wash large amounts of ill gotten gains. Just as restaurants are a great place to wash smaller amounts of money, real estate is ideal for larger amounts. Losing half the value of money you cannot use is not a loss if the other half becomes usable in the process. I cannot afford a 50% loss but it is just the normal CDB when laundering money.

I visited NYC many times, luckily mostly on other people's dimes for business reasons... once I stayed in the Gramercy Park Hotel, and discovered it was 2 blocks from Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace/museum. They are unfortunately, just like Disneyland, pricing most people out of Manhattan, throwing low renters out Trump-style. Now there a ton of empty condo buildings.

If he had as much money as he says he has then there would be no stalling over his tax returns. Jared seems to be as much in a financial hole as Trump is. The corruption in the presidency is just mind boggling.

Manafort or Flynn will fold first.

I stayed at the Gramercy too, years ago. They gave you a key to the private park. Very cool.

I'll bet that's really $.97/hour. American.

It is becoming crystal clear why President Trump is desperate to stop the Russia Investigation and why he has remained so loyal to Gen. Michael Flynn.

He's doing everything he can think of to cover-up for Mr. Kushner.

Supply & demand keeps apartment prices at "whatever the market will bear." I'm always astonished at what the market will bear.

Hilariously, it really is a "house of cards." JK's family has tons of dough, and will survive the inescapable bankruptcy of 666 Fifth Ave. You can be sure they're busy distancing themselves and insulating their assets from the coming implosion. Drumpf has nothing but licensing fees, the cash flow from which goes straight into his preposterous lifestyle. He produces zilch, contributes zilch, and his actual value is zilch. He'll die with a negative net worth, but living like a fucking sultan right to the end.

The requests for immunity are just starting to pile up. When the SS Drumpf starts to list, we're going to see a stampede of rats.
