“Joe Biden says things, and then there’s reality”
Snip
“Joe Biden is out in Pennsylvania saying that Trump got rich the old-fashioned way: he inherited it. At least that is an honest way to get rich. Trump inherited money, and he took a massive amount of risk and created a huge number of jobs.
Biden, on the other hand, got rich the same way a lot of politicians get rich. He used his powerful position in government and took his son around the world on government-paid transportation, collecting kickbacks from a number of adversaries, including Russia, Ukraine, and China. The only thing the Biden family had to sell was access to Joe. They did not take risks. They did not develop anything. They did not have a service or product to sell. They did not create jobs. They created shell companies to launder the money through. That is not an honest way to get rich, but a lot of corrupt politicians have achieved wealth the same way.
Biden also claims that Trump doesn't pay taxes. He pays a huge amount of taxes — whether it is real estate taxes, payroll taxes, or income taxes when the tax code shows he owes them.
That is unlike Hunter, who sometimes didn't file tax returns when he didn't feel like it and didn't worry about following the tax code. And it certainly appears that there were payments to Joe that were classified as loans with no documents to show they were loans. That means they were income. It also appears that Hunter paid a significant amount of Daddy's bills, which would also be a taxable event.”

Biden’s campaign is a total mess. He talks endlessly about nonsense, “my uncle probably was eaten by cannibals”, tries to mimic Trump going into a fast food restaurant where no one hardly pays attention to him, lol...Biden s a loser.

good morning lurkermom, if trump inherited 100-250 million and turned it into 7-10 billion, did he inherit it all ? Was the Teflon Don successful at anything over the decades? Let's wait to see who replaces Joe at the convention?

LurkerMom: Joe Biden says things...
Oh no, did he say that American war dead are suckers and losers?
BTW, Trump's Daddy gave him at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.
Hard to go broke when your Daddy gives you a half-billion dollars but Trump managed to do it.
Trump's so broke he's selling bits and pieces of the "Never Surrender" suit he surrendered in, gold sneakers, cologne, and bibles.
Can you imagine if former president Obama was selling off bits and pieces of his tan suit?

Trump says things. And, boy, are they IDIOTIC! He constantly shows how shallow he is and how little knowledge of history he has. Kind of what you'd expect for a spoiled brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
"Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was," Trump said during a Saturday rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, in what was his first campaign event in the battleground state. "It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country," he continued.
"Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch," he said. "And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late," Trump added.
You support a man who sounds that stupid?

There is no record, recording evidence Trump said that. It boils down to he said she said they said.

Isn’t that what most people do, leave their money to their children? I’m sure it will be the same with the Clinton’s and Obama.
We hear a lot about tax dodges, Hunter comes to mind.
Trump's so broke he's selling bits and pieces of the "Never Surrender" suit he surrendered in, gold sneakers, cologne, and bibles.
So what, seems to me it’s a way to sell off unwanted items so not to touch the real monies. I seem to remember Bill Clinton donating his underwear or something similar for a tax break.
Can you imagine if former president Obama was selling off bits and pieces of his tan suit?
I couldn’t care less if he did.

I really have not followed Trump’s money because it really doesn’t matter to me. I know he has had successes and losses and still manage to be successful making money.
I think RFK jr would be a good replacement for Biden, but the democrat party would never let

There is no record, recording evidence Trump said that. Right. There's only Trump's own chief of staff, John Kelly, going
on the record to confirm that Trump did, indeed, call American war dead "suckers" and "losers":
“A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France."Suckers, check.
Losers, check.
Refused to visit the cemetery in France, check.
Yet you guys
still worship this POS.
Dope1
still cannot bring himself to criticize Trump for walking off with dozens of the nation's most sensitive, top secret, military and intelligence documents and
leaving them in an unlocked bathroom and on a stage in a resort.A jury of his peers found that Trump sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll and you guys don't blink an eye.
Trump is shaking down down ballot republicans and you guys are silent.

A 2016 analysis of Trump's business career in The Economist concluded that his performance since 1985 had been "mediocre compared with the stock market and property in New York".[36] A subsequent analysis in The Washington Post similarly noted that Trump's estimated net worth of $100 million in 1978 would have increased to $6 billion by 2016 if he had invested it in a typical retirement fund, and concluded that "Trump is a mix of braggadocio, business failures, and real success."[37] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_of_Donald_Tru...Donald Trump underperformed the stock market. He underperformed New York Real Estate. But he did manage to keep a little ahead of inflation, so there’s that.

Yeah, if Drowzy Don just invested the $100 million that he got from Daddy into the S&P500 in 1978 he would be worth about $17.5 Billion today.
No scams, no ripoffs, no tax fraud, no bible selling, no stealing from children's charities, no bankruptcies etc, etc.
Trump isn't rich because he's a good investor. He's rich because his dad was rich. His stupidity has cost him Billions!

“Kelly thinks he's saving U.S. from disaster, calls Trump 'idiot,' say White House staffers
Some current and former officials said they expect Kelly to leave by July, and that Trump and Kelly seem to have tired of each other.”
SNIP
“WASHINGTON — White House chief of staff John Kelly has eroded morale in the West Wing in recent months with comments to aides that include insulting the president's intelligence and casting himself as the savior of the country, according to eight current and former White House officials.
The officials said Kelly portrays himself to Trump administration aides as the lone bulwark against catastrophe, curbing the erratic urges of a president who has a questionable grasp on policy issues and the functions of government. He has referred to Trump as "an idiot" multiple times to underscore his point, according to four officials who say they've witnessed the comments.“
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/kelly...Kelly didn’t get his way with President Trump and left the WH a bitter man, full of himself.
There is no record of proof Trump said those words, except Kelly’s would say anything for payback, so most likely Kelly is a liar.

He's a narcissist who has to believe he is smarter and better than everybody else. So he had to waste all this time and effort on bankrupt businesses in an effort to show what a 'winner' he is.
He has been good at one thing: grifting. That is his strong suit.
Getting elected POTUS was his ticket to more and better grifting and corruption and he desperately wants that back.

Here’s How Much Donald Trump Is Worth..
“What’s Donald Trump really worth? People have been asking the question for decades, though never with as much urgency as they are today. The answer: $6.4 billion, according to our most recent tally, conducted March 26, 2024. Below, Forbes offers an asset-by-asset breakdown of the Trump fortune.”
I’ll take Forbes word for how much the billionaire Trump is worth.
That’s good enough for me. People with big money leave their money to their chrildren.

Jeebus, you people are nuts. Kelly was so godawful at his job and so disloyal that he was #SleepyDon's longest serving chief of staff.
Seriously, what does Trump have to do for you to wake up?
He's been found by a jury to have committed sexual assault and a judge said he's a rapist.
He's guilty of business fraud.
He admits he took dozens of top secret intelligence documents and he left them in an unlocked toilet and on a ballroom stage for months, literally months, where thousands of people had access to them.
He's grifting money off of down ballot republicans.
He's pimping gold sneakers, NFTs, pieces of his suit, cologne, and for crying out loud, fake leather bibles.
He raw-dogged a porn star and illegally paid her hush money.
He called America's fallen war heroes suckers and losers.
There were at least 96 “dignified transfers” at Dover during Trump’s presidency, which saw the return of 127 Americans killed overseas. He was there for four.
He refused to attend a commemoration in France for U.S. soldiers and marines killed during World War One.
The list of his vile, disgusting, and criminal behavior is endless.
Yet you cannot free yourself from his cult.

Correction. Yes, he banged a porn star (or, if her story is accurate, she banged him on the rear with a rolled up copy of a magazine with his picture on the cover. Which she just happened to have laying around? Or more likely, he brought with him…
But it’s not illegal to pay hush money.
It’s illegal to say it was a business expense and try to write it off on your taxes. It’s illegal to lie about it to a grand jury (looking at you, Michael Cohen). It’s illegal to take a misdemeanor crime (camouflaging the payments) in furtherance of another crime (campaign finance violation) which bumps it up to a felony.
Just so we have all the actual facts, all of which have been corroborated in previous hearings, trials, and depositions.

This is a good place to bring up a question that has been on my mind. I agree the case is about the recording of the hush money transaction, not that it occurred. So why is Stormy on the prosecution witness list? The fact she was paid hush money is not in dispute, and she would have no knowledge of how the payment was recorded in the Trump empire's books. So what is her purpose as a witness?

To testify that the original event did, in fact, happen. A lot of Trump supporters would like to pretend it didn’t, or that it’s something the Democrats made up, or that there is no basis in fact when, of course, there is.
I suspect her time on the stand will be brief, if salacious.
