Re: New York State Investigations of Trump and Related

NY never liked Trump. As hard as he tried, he could never make it into the elite circles. And he wasn't a player in the real estate game here either. He made a couple good deals, but a lot of them were crap, as evidenced by his serial bankruptcies. The thing he was really successful at was building...

Re: Assault on the Capitol (DC)

Have any of those arrested had their charges upgraded yet? When they first began making arrests, I was a little outraged that the insurrectionists were being charged with, effectively, disturbing the peace, and other misdemeanors. Then, with the help of some cooler heads on this forum, that these we...

Re: Assault on the Capitol (DC)

Any thoughts on how many of those 300 will turn on their compadres and take a plea deal, in return for a lighter sentence? My guess is that fewer than 1/3 of those charged will do serious prison time. The rest will get short sentences or even suspended sentences. Some, who can't be proven to have do...

I've said it before. The Saudi's are NOT our friends. They just don't openly call for the defeat/destruction of the US.

Re: Winterization

High reliability is no good if your less reliable competitors can undersell you most of the time because they spend less on reliability. This is precisely why state or federal regulation is required. That way, the playing field is level, if all providers are required to spend the same amounts on th...

Re: Kushener's Time Square Property Close to foreclosure

The article states the building was appraised at $470 million in 2016. How does a building in Manhattan lose so much of its value in a mere four years? The article doesn't say what the building's occupancy rate was in 2016. Today it is about half full and has recently lost a couple of large tenants.

Re: have you received your vaccine yet?

I was scheduled to receive my first dose last Saturday, but the pharmacy had to postpone it because they had not received their scheduled shipment. Same for my wife. She's 70 and I'm 69.

Now, we're scheduled for Mar. 11 (her) and 13 (me).

Don't know which vaccine we will get. Don't care.

Of course, I don't know how much of his worth is tied up in his company, so he may not have the liquid assets. And frankly I'm fine with the lawsuit bankrupting him no matter his net...
