You mean history books written by liberal elite PhD historians and scholars?

Anyone see the Esquire story on the Nunes family farm?

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a ... alifornia/

The TL;DR is it uses undocumented workers (in common with virtually all dairy farms in northwest Iowa, apparently) and Nunes and family have been covering it up. Ryan Lizza, on loan from the New Yorker, apparently, investigates and once the Nunes family figures what he's up to, things get creepy.

Also, there's an ethics issue; publishing the story may put the workers at risk. On the other hand, if ICE showed up and carted everyone off, the industry would fail instantly. So that's probably not going to happen.

Anyhoo, pretty rank hypocrisy from Nunes (to no one's surprise, I'm sure).

Just because you own a farm or two doesn't mean you're a farmer, it simple means you're a business person. And Blue Bunny ice cream is some of the nastiest crap out there. Not surprising Milk o' Nunes is involved.

Apparently, voters in Tulare County, which Nunes represents, have known this for years. The farm Nunes shows on commercials is his uncle. I have relatives in Visalia, which is in Tulare County. It is the California tourists don't see or think of when they think of California. Many of the farmers and ranchers there are descendants of the dustbowl immigrants and that area is more like Kansas than the coast in temperament. Many still carry a midwest twang.

About the NY Times Report, Donald Trump wrote:The Failing New York Times did something I have never seen done before. They used the concept of “time value of money” in doing a very old, boring and often told hit piece on me. Added up, this means that 97% of their stories on me are bad. Never recovered from bad election call!


NY Mag observes

The “time value of money” is a very basic principle that anybody in business should know. It holds that the same nominal amount of money becomes less valuable over time. A person would rather be given a thousand dollars today than be guaranteed a payment of a thousand dollars ten years from now, because inflation erodes its value. Trump’s professed unfamiliarity with this elemental business concept does not challenge any of the findings of the story, and indeed perhaps helps explain why his father needed to give him such lavish support.

The report seems like good, solid work. Of course it's two years too late. :x

A new corporate filing in the United Kingdom shows that Donald Trump’s prized Turnberry golf resort still hasn’t turned a profit for the president. According to paperwork filed last week by the Trump Organization, the Scottish property lost £3.3 million or nearly $4.5 million in 2017.

On his personal financial disclosure forms filed in the United States, Trump claimed the course earned him $20.3 million in “golf revenue”—which the UK filings for his company, Golf Recreation Scotland Limited, the parent firm of the Turnberry resort, back up. But Trump didn’t disclose that he spent far more to operate the course.

The course has been in the red since Trump purchased it in 2014 for $60 million. He subsequently pumped more than $140 million into renovating the property. In previous years, the Trump family claimed the losses occurred because the resort had been partially closed. Last year, however, the resort was fully open for business.

According to filings in the UK, the Turnberry course has lost about $44.5 million since 2014.

That's part of what gets me. Why they believe Trump lock, stock, and barrel.

My dad finally turned against Vietnam when Cronkite did and I don't remember this kind of resentment in the Watergate hearings.

Is it just distrust in government institutions and the general media? I guess I get that, but why put your faith in a charlatan?

Are people that desperate. Maybe they are.

For the most part, I don't perceive desperation, but rather a toxic mix of evny, bitterness, xenophobia, feelings of personal inadequacy, ignorance (willful or not) and just plain meanness. There really isn't a consistent philosophy amongst his base other than: 'libruls mad = policy good'.

It's not exactly a silver lining, but I'll be amused if it emerges that the gist of this article is correct.

How Trump Is Trying—And Failing—To Get Rich Off His Presidency

All these world-class swindlers like Scott Pruitt and Steve Mnuchin enriching themselves like pigs at a trough, but fucking Donald Trump is too stupid to know how to do it right. :lol:

Or in the case of the Jimbos of the world, anti-status-quo=policy good. Why anyone would be dumb enough to think that a wealthy person who benefits from having the status quo stay exactly how it is would attack the status quo in any way is beyond me, but there you have it.

Melania's Fashion Statements

Postby Sneelock » 06 Oct 2018, 00:29

Did you see that picture of Melania in Africa wearing a pith helmet?
is she sending messages with her clothes? seriously, it seems, because of "I don't care do U" that she either puts NO thought into what she wears or a lot of thought into it.

a pith helmet would seem an odd choice if you thought about it. do you think she thought about it? I wonder.

She's taking the pith.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
