Some people are fine with authoritarianism as long as it goes along with a “worker’s revolution.”
I don’t know why they bother to stay in the USA and not move to North Korea or China or Cuba or Venezuela where the worker’s paradise is realized.

Human dignity used to be an advertised feature of capitalism before it came out that we can't afford it.

In theory, yes; in practice, never. Ancient Greeks have said that there is one law for the rich, and another one for the poor. We can somewhat rephrase today in that not only the mega-rich, but also the political elite have dignity and protection FROM the law.
BTW import of illegals by a bipartisan coalition of D's and R's will destroy the remains of labor movement in US of A. Why bother with trade unions if you can just hire illegals without any rights working for peanuts?

This might actually lead somewhere, unlike the stupid TRUUUMPRRUSSIA collusion story.

Wait, Trump took out loans from a German bank? Holy shit! How could he? Nobody has ever done that before!!! IMPEACH!!!

Try to find a clean RE business, especially in NY which is a mafia town (or at least was until 90's).

Atlantic City is too much of a has-been town to be popular. And NYC is so overrated.

Trump is guilty until proven innocent, and then, he is STILL guilty. Everybody knows that. It's known as the Trump exception to Napoleonic Law.

IMPEACH TRUMP!

Wait... so someone at a bank may have committed underwriting fraud by giving Trump a loan because his casino went under... and 4/1000 of his businesses failed so that’s a clearly unacceptable risk.
Reaching much?

I do not think that way. Reality of life is that no RE business in country will be clean. RE in NY, I am sure, is even worse than in other states since until 80's or 90's mob was heavily involved. Is Trump organization spotless? I'd say no, because if they are, that would be extremely unusual. I am sure they have plenty skeletons in closet. Is this impeachable or Trump going to jail offense? Probably not, I doubt that he is stupid enough to leave paper trails. If they dig into this, his "rogue" lawyer, his "rogue" accountant, etc will go to jail. However, investigating Trump organization finances will give ammunition to D's for next election. May be that is reason why they did not start digging right after the election. Then again, may be it is mutually assisted destruction and nothing will come out of it.

How pleasant are state prisons?

Club Fed is a much better option. But I hear the Ecuadorian Embassy in London currently has a vacancy for an asylum seeker, complete with walls textured with feces.

But yes Trump fears his financials being looked at. I agree the business he came out of and the areas in which he operated have always been fraught with thievery and corruption. And with Trumps moral and ethical standards, draw your own conclusions why he would want to keep this info private.

With Trump its been about sex and money and now power. Nobody cares about sex anymore, raw dogging and paying off porn stars and playboy bunnies is simply a sign that he has been sent by God, the end times are near, the barbarians are at the gate, Jesus take us now. But the money is his weak spot. Follow the money.

When has he ever turned his guns on the Left? Near as I can tell reading through his shtick over the years he is just your run of the mill Lefty who thinks his vulgarity and sarcasm is clever.

Seems I remember something about the size of Obama's wife's dick...

Some of the biggest RE holders in cities are universities. NYU and Columbia own a chunk of NYC.

That is the "clever" vulgarity I spoke about.

When has he turned his guns on the crazy Left wing policies? There is more than enough crazy coming from the Left to spoof on and not just the size of Michelle's cock.

Yeah, in Chicago also. U of Chicago bought huge chunks of ghetto around university and turned it into millennial's paradise, so you do not get shot on campus any more, unlike 20-30 yrs ago.

CNN is fake News, no Bank will hand over Trump's records until Trump gives them the go ahead.

Sure they may want to. But if they lose that Gambit casting their lots with the House TDS brigade. They'll go the way of the failed banks of 2007- 2008.

Because after Trump sues, Elijah Cumface he'll sue them for all they are worth. Trump has an impeccable track record of wining court cases. Once he gets out of the Activist Courts. The actual courts that follow the letter of the Law always side with Trump. Because Trump is on the side of the rule of Law.

Funny is funny no matter which politician is in the cross hairs. They all deserve it to some degree or another. AF used to be a lot more equal opportunity, and funny with his insults and peculiar brand of sarcastic over-the-top raging jackassery.

Now it’s just one way of describing anal sex and prolapsed rectums after another. As well as gratuitous shit references. It’s gotten old and was never that funny. I think the 34 ignores he’s garnered might evidence the truth of this.

Feel that Sting BOY? That's pride fucking with you...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/04/rep-cummings-throws-a-tantrum-after-trump-doj-official-refuses-to-give-deposition-without-doj-lawyer-present-massive-obstruction/

The Democrat Chairman of the House Oversight Committee accused President Trump and AG Barr of ‘massive obstruction’ on Wednesday for ordering federal employees to ignore congressional subpoenas.

“Both President Trump and Attorney General Barr are now openly ordering federal employees to ignore congressional subpoenas and simply not show up – without any assertion of a valid legal privilege,” Dem Congressman Elijah Cummings said in a statement.

Reuters reported that the Justice Department on Wednesday refused to allow John Gore, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division to provide a deposition scheduled for Thursday if the committee would not allow a DOJ lawyer by his side.

The Democrat-led committee offered to allow a lawyer to sit in a separate room while they interview a Trump DOJ official involved in the decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

Rep. Cummings argued that the subpoena issued to John Gore was done in a bipartisan basis so there was no reason for privilege to be asserted by the White House or DOJ — too bad Cummings!

Where was the hand-wringing by the Democrats when Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder played this game with ‘Fast and Furious’ and other scandals?


“This is a massive, unprecedented, and growing pattern of obstruction,” Cummings said, warning the federal employees to “think very carefully about their own legal interests” in refusing to comply with his committee’s subpoenas.

Do the Democrats even legislate? Do the Democrats serve their constituents anymore or do they only dedicate their time to harassing President Trump and his associates? Rhetorical question, we know.

Let's see: No collusion because of incompetence and a few rational people on his campaign staff. But there is plenty of evidence of obstruction, something which Mueller chose to pass to Congress since it is DOJ policy to not indict sitting presidents.

Now we have documents which might indicate that Trump committed bank fraud. But you delusional Trumpturds don't think that is important. Yet, I constantly see you foaming at the mouth over the slightest hint of impropriety from any Democrat.

Tenpoundbass says

Trump has an impeccable track record of wining court cases

Impeccability in legal proceedings is not the word typically associated with a guy who has been involved in over 3500 lawsuits, having lost or settled many. But just ask the suckers from Trump U. who got a share of the 25 million he coughed up.

No collusion because of incompetence and a few rational people on his campaign staff.

"No collusion" is the only correct part of that sentence. The rest is a combination of wishful thinking backed by extreme interpretation.

These attacks on Trumps businesses are in a large part a warning to other businessmen who may "intrude" into politics. Starbucks Schwartz better take heed, because if he enters the race, and especially if he wins, will have the same witch hunts going after minute details and inventing outright fabrications. And even if Schwartz, like Trump, is tough enough to handle it, he still must deal with attacks on family and business acquaintances.

Hey - none of the Democrats seemed too concerned how the Clintons became multi-millionaires leveraging their political connections to sell out America to foreign interests with the Clinton Foundation racket.

So why would you expect Republicans to be overly concerned how Trump made his money in real estate BEFORE he became a politician?

Hey - none of the Democrats seemed too concerned how the Clintons became multi-millionaires leveraging their political connections to sell out America to foreign interests with the Clinton Foundation racket.

Yes. Especially since the Clintons were "flat broke" when they left the White House. Yet Hillary was able to get a $4 million loan to buy that house in New York, and within 8 years the Clintons declared a net worth of over $80 million. No inventions, no businesses - just money from speeches and books, plus paying friends and family to "work" for the Clinton Foundation. According to the Washington Post:

"Although slightly more than half of his appearances were in the United States, the majority of his speaking income, $56.3 million, came from foreign speeches, many of them in China, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom, the Post review found.

The financial industry has been Clinton’s most frequent sponsor. The Post review showed that Wall Street banks and other financial services firms have hired Clinton for at least 102 appearances and paid him a total of $19.6 million"

You have to wonder if these people are just astonishingly pig-shit ignorant of the long list of Democrat (and Republican) politicians becoming obscenely rich using their government connections as they attack Trump?

Or are they just massive hypocrites?

No, they want to push the idea that getting rich in the private sector is evil and exploitative. Politicians collecting bribes and getting rich after being elected is OK, even if they take it from Wall Street. They do not want to shit in their own nest, Like I said before, if Starbucks Schwartz want his lifelong business matters put under the microscope, dare run for President. Schwarz may even see a disgruntled employee come forth with phony claims, plus a Blassey Ford style fake harassment issue.

I loved it when they had to physically restrain IHLlary from stealing stuff from the White House when she left. "Mrs. Clinton, please leave the gifts, the china, the antiques and the silverware where you found it. Step away from the items!"

And watch the Dems studiously ignore Kamala's Bank-friendly efforts as DA of SF and Booker's Big Pharma bendovers.

Compared to Hillary, these two are amateurs on accommodating Wall Street and Pharma. Notice how Hillary was never taken to task on it.

Man is Trump getting advice from Hillary?

Trump is right to skip it.

He has been treated worse than any other president by the globalist press.

Globalist media has lied so flagrantly and consistently that it's a wonder anyone takes them seriously anymore.

Russia. What complete bullshit for two and a half years.

I don't blame Trump a bit for skipping it. Why should he dignify the enormity their lies and bullshit.

That media is a bunch of propaganda assholes, why would he spend time with them?
Hell, even I'd skip if I were invited, there is no benefit to anyone but the damn media assholes.

Did I mention they are assholes? they are!

Why would trump go to this dinner? Why?

Interesting pitch above the ad: "out of touch with the center of energy." This will lose the Dems the election - again. No concern for the center of the voting population the Trump has a laser focus upon. They are trying to change social mores when the country isn't ready yet. That's ok, I'll take 4-5 more years of economic growth under Trump - then the markets will crash, and crash hard, when anything like liberal socialism comes into power. But perhaps the Supes will overturn some critical items, like Citizens Uinited. There is hope we make it through the next recession in a short time.

In a way she was. Many Bernie supporters stayed home because of her globalist corporate 'shillary' and gave the WH to Trump.

This is the story of 2016, as far as I can tell: low turnout.

Registered Dems and Reps alike stayed home, presumably due to the uninspiring offerings. Result: narrow victory for Trump (not achieving popular vote majority), but notably nice margins in the rust belt.

What the Dems should take away from their 2016 defeat: focus on labor. Stop abandoning the working class.

What the current smorgasbord of 2020 Dem contenders have taken away from the 2016 defeat: double down on identity politics; focus on winning Brooklyn, Oakland, and Twitter.

This strategy will lose and lose hard. Also, hate to say it but, if they continue on that strategy, I won't stay home this time, I'll vote for their opponent (presumably Trump), because the identity politics platform is just that divisive and cynical, and it's worth it to steer us away from that iceberg.
