I don't get the politico story - are they claiming Trump personally guaranteed the loan on 1290 6th Ave?  That would be odd given he is the minority investor and a much bigger player (Vornado) is the main owner. It also hasn't been listed on Trump's OGE forms, including the latest one from a few months ago.

The NYT story from today looks more solid and possibly even more damning (albeit without the China! angle) as there is strong evidence of a $20 million tax fraud and a campaign finance violation on what appears to have a bogus consulting fee paid from a Trump friend and donor.  Plus evidence of a quo for the quid.

Along those lines the Trump finance story that the media seems to be missing is why Koch Industries poured over $200M into Ladder Capital two weeks after Ladder was hit with a big credit downgrade.  Ladder Capital is - along with Deutsche Bank - the single largest direct creditor to Donald Trump.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

QuoteDonald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Joe Biden is a PUPPET of CASTRO-CHAVISTAS like Crazy Bernie, AOC and Castro-lover Karen Bass. Biden is supported by socialist Gustavo Petro, a major LOSER and former M-19 guerrilla leader. Biden is weak on socialism and will betray Colombia. I stand with you!

It's amazing there's a test now to show how much the virus is still replicating.

I noticed this doctor/PR guy was keen not be caught writing he tested negative.

QuoteIn several phone calls last weekend from the presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Mr. Trump shared an idea he was considering: When he left the hospital, he wanted to appear frail at first when people saw him, according to people with knowledge of the conversations. But underneath his button-down dress shirt, he would wear a Superman T-shirt, which he would reveal as a symbol of strength when he ripped open the top layer. He ultimately did not go ahead with the stunt.
I really wish he had done that. :lol:

That would have been so awesome!  :lol:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Speaking from personal experience, it so isn't awesome.

Senator Mike Lee who tested positive for Covid 10 days ago? Yeah, he's back in the senate without a mask:

Well they have to hurry up and approve the new Supreme Court justice before base Democracy can weigh in or something.

Outstanding - perhaps he will infect some more GOP senators just in time to thwart a quorum.
