As far as his casino's I don't know what he owns/operates or if he still has any. Do you? (not a rhetorical question)

Golf courses lose money. The ones in britain have shown they are losing millions there.
 
I heard that he does not own the real estate, he licenses his name to men who actually own them and he gets royalties.

We have thousands of golf courses in this country because they lose money? Country clubs that cost $300K are losing money?

(Now there was a glut of courses built in the mid 'aughts that got crushed. Entrance fees going from $175K to $10K for instance. But still many profitable golf courses. Who do you think is subsidizing them otherwise?)

The Navy’s stealth destroyers to get new weapons and a new mission: killing ships

The USS Zumwalt, the Navy's new guided missile destroyer heads out to sea

WASHINGTON – The Navy has a new vision for what its enormous high-tech destroyers will do: Killing enemy warships at extended ranges.

The Navy is asking Congress to fund a conversion of its 600-foot stealth destroyers from primarily a land attack ship to an anti-surface, offensive strike platform, according to budget documents released Feb. 12.

The service’s 2019 budget request includes a request for $89.7 million to transform its Zumwalt-class destroyers by integrating Raytheon’s long-range SM-6 missile, which can dual hat as both an anti-air and anti-surface missile, as well as its Maritime Strike variant of the Tomahawk missile.

Converting DDG-1000 into a hunter-killer is a win for the surface warfare community’s years-long drive to beef up the force’s offensive capabilities. It also answers the bell for U.S. Pacific Command, which has been pushing for the Navy to add longer range weapons to offset the increasing threat from Chinese long-range missile technology.

Why? I pointed out the collusion theory was correct. That's true. We now know the Trump campaign did, in fact, collude with the Russians. If you want to say "yeah, but Mueller hasn't yet proven involvement in a criminal conspiracy by Trump himself" that's fine. I never claimed he had. I claimed that the collusion theory was correct... which, as you know, it was.



Incorrect. It wasn't just accepted, it was actually attended.



Both conspired to break US campaign finance laws, which forbid foreigners from providing things of value to US campaigns, and US campaigns from soliciting things of value from foreigners.

Emolument laws and campaign laws do not refer to trump. We might go back to them in 2020. but trump is exempt from all laws.
 
There is a reason you still sit at the kids table Gomer, and it is not only because of your obvious stunted growth.

The adults keep up on the news, moron. Obviously, that doesn’t include you, waterboy.

Illiterate, ignorant fuck.
 
Indeed. Which is why I got such a good laugh out of HV's post. That doesn't even take into account the numerous small businesses that he refused to pay.

Pretty scummy, screwing honest vendors is a cool strategy for getting rich?
 
As I thought then. Nice gig. So it's like claiming Michael Jordan is a shoe maker.

It's about the ability to market yourself and your name. Your analogy is totally wrong. I'm not even supporting the guy just saying what it is.
 

Your first article is about Scotland, I'm talking about America. Your second article is from 4 years ago. There was still overhangs from the financial crisis. Find something recent

Edit: and you completely missed the point I was making when you responded. Reading comprehension
 
No need too. Everyone here can read.
One would think, but here you are saying that to you it sounds as if I'd caved and backed away from the facts. You claimed that in response to a post by me where I'd (1) pointed out the Justice Department's official position that a sitting president can't be indicted, and (2) reasoned that Mueller is compiling a case against him, but probably wouldn't actually bring charges, because of the Justice Department's view that enforcing the law against a sitting president would require an impeachment.

As anyone who can read will notice, nothing I said sounds even a little like I've caved and backed away from the facts. Yet, that was your claim. So, I'm asking you to explain what sounded that way to you, specifically. Why not step up and give it a shot? Explain yourself.

I don't think they were "known agents"

Then I urge you to read up about this, since that's common knowledge, at this point. Goldstone had written directly to Trump Jr. telling him that the meeting would be a high-level one that would be part of Russia and its government's support Trump. In other words, Trump Jr. had it expressly explained to him that those people meeting with him would be working on behalf of the Russian government to try to take down Clinton, in order to support his the Trump campaign.

Taking a meeting is simply not collusion/conspiracy

Conspiring to meet secretly with known agents of the Russian government, for purposes of getting valuable documents and information, as part of the Russian government's support for the campaign, is obviously collusion. What do you think collusion means, exactly? If a secret meeting expressly set up to violate campaign finance law doesn't do it, what would it take, in your view?
 
President Trump has neither business nor Presidential acumen. What he is good at is posturing for the ignorant on tv.

I think I explained how he operates. He snipes, runs, avoids your content, levels ad homs and refuses to do legwork to support his predispositions. He also scurries around dispensing
encouragement to dipshits on the right to consolidate a power position as some sort of conservative voice of reason. What he won't do is admit error or do any real work. I think it's because
he works on a ship and uses a phone and is too busy to bother. Just a guess on the why of it.

I can be quite tolerant towards those with different positions who make honest arguments. We can work together with them to test and hone our own ideas and, perhaps, both wind up closer to the truth. But the patently dishonest trolling is a complete waste of space. I don't believe for a minute he thought it sounded like I'd caved and backed away from the facts I'd presented, since nothing I wrote could remotely be seen that way. So, why say it? Is the point merely to avoid touching on the substance of the argument, by simply pretending the other has surrendered, even when anyone who reads the thread will see otherwise? It seems like an awful lot of wasted effort.

Not at all PackD. I ask for facts to back up ridiculous or made up statements and your side seems to never to be able to do that. Just continue on with the innuendo. I can see how you and others would consider that offensive.
Provide facts. Or just pipe down. Real simple even for Democrats to understand.

the Email says the docs were Russian gov't -but does not say the meeting would be with Russian agents. Trump jr. had no idea he was meeting with Russian foreign agents-nor does the red herring Russian support for Trump show collusion with Russia.

This is the generally accepted view,and when you finally see Mueller isn't trying to twist this as a conspiracy...

Conspiring to meet secretly with known agents of the Russian government, for purposes of getting valuable documents and information, as part of the Russian government's support for the campaign, is obviously collusion. What do you think collusion means, exactly? If a secret meeting expressly set up to violate campaign finance law doesn't do it, what would it take, in your view?
I've already said there is no legal term for collusion.
It's a political term. There has to be a conspiracy to be a crime here - and a simple meeting even with ( notknown) Russian agents is not a conspiracy to DO anything together. There has to be an active "collusion" amoung the parties to work towrds a further corrupt goal.

I'm glad you finally get the GDP going into Trumps term was awful, and Obama's general GDP averages were bad,
(too much regulations/taxes).

as to the military. You might find this interesting . we are driving Russia and China to now work together as a strategic block, because of meddling in the Euromaidan and excessive sanctions on Russia, and NATO expansion in general

The West needs to watch Russia and China's military partnership
