Re: trump (the former guy)
Continuing on the library thought - I found this article from Politico last January, with the author saying he doesn't believe trump can navigate the obstacles to what can be a very difficult process. It says Obama had trouble getting his up and running.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Trump will probably buy some land somewhere and sell it to the foundation created to run his library, for triple what he paid for it.
He will then pay himself a lavish "consulting fee" to assist with the design. His assistance will consist of coming in to the ceremony at which the architects unveil the design and blathering on about how it will be the biggest, bestest, most fantasmagorical presidential library that ever was.
He will probably insist that the library foundation pay him an annual stipend for "Naming Rights" to the facility.
He will insist that the foundation hire the Trump Organization to operate the library, at a hefty annual fee.
He will insist on a cut of the sales of Trump memorabilia and his books at the gift shop.
In short, he will steer as much as possible of that $2B (not that I think he will ever raise that much) into his own pocket.

I don’t know that any of us are NY lawyers but it is possible that NY law requires some notification to invoke something called the Martin Act in NYS. I don’t think it would require a public announcement but that could be to tighten the screws on people in the Organization.fierceredpanda wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 8:08 am![]()
I don't understand the point of announcing an investigation like that. All it does is tip off Team Trump and give a PR boost to Leticia James. Oh, wait...

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/19/politics ... index.html
(CNN)As reliably as seasons change, so does Donald Trump shift his primary residence.
After establishing Mar-a-Lago, his lavish Palm Beach, Florida, resort, as his post-White House home and office for the last four months, Trump a week ago moved his base operation to his members' only Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, where he will reside for the rest of the spring, summer and into early fall, a senior member of the former President's team confirmed to CNN.
Several of Trump's post-presidency staff have also made the move and are working from dedicated office space at Bedminster, but will make regular visits to Trump offices in Trump Tower in Manhattan, according to another person with knowledge of operations. Bedminster is 45 miles west of New York City, in a pastoral region of New Jersey, aesthetically removed from the metropolitan bustle of Trump's Fifth Avenue headquarters.
The move from the Sunshine State means Trump's many political contacts will for the foreseeable future visit him for various approvals and discussions mostly in the Garden State. Several, from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas to Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Reps. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina and Matt Gaetz of Florida and freshly minted New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani, had made the pilgrimage to South Florida since late January, mostly to visit with or seek endorsement from the former President, who still holds a powerful grip on the Republican Party. Fundraisers for Trump-backed PACs and potential candidates will also slide from Florida's hot and humid summer climes to New Jersey's hot and humid summer climes.
Re: trump (the former guy)
I'm working on an "explainer" piece about this today, trying to answer common questions about what's going on with the NY investigations of Trump.
What questions do you have? Reply here and I'll try to answer in the piece.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Nothing like drawing attention to the fact you're under criminal investigation, considering Fox News, et al, won't be mentioning it to his devoted fans.

Re: trump (the former guy)
I just glanced at Fox's website. Don't see any mention of this change in the investigation.
Re: trump (the former guy)
Tea couldn't help but notice something just now.
President Biden, addressin' a Coast Guard commencement, encouraged graduates to turn and salute their parents.
Donald Trump, when addressin' a Boy Scout Jamboree, regaled them with a story about a drug-fueled orgy on a yacht.

Sounds like someone copy pasted that from something else onto the blog textbox and all paragraph formatting vanished.
And they were either too rattled to do anything other than press post with the Toddler streaming at them to get it up there, or the person did not give 3/10s of a fuck as he as sick of dealing with this shit.

Re: trump (the former guy)
No, but looking around I did see this important Fox news flash...
Published 1 hour ago
Jill Biden said Kamala Harris can 'go f--- herself' after she attacked Joe Biden in first debate, book claims
Harris ripped Biden at debate for opposing federal busing and touting his work with segregationists
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jill-b ... ebate-bookThe relationship between the Bidens and Vice President Kamala Harris purportedly became messy after Harris -- then Joe Biden’s opponent in the primary -- came after him for his record on busing and his boasts of his relationships with segregationist senators, according to journalist Edward Isaac Dovere.
First lady Jill Biden even said Harris can "go f--- herself" in a call with campaign donors, Dovere writes in his forthcoming book shared with Fox News, "Battle for the Soul," to be published May 25.
It was after Joe Biden had reminisced in a speech on his early days in Washington, trying to emphasize his record as a deal broker, Dovere writes. He talked about his relationship with two holdout segregationists in the Senate.
"Well, guess what? At least there was some civility. We got things done," Joe Biden said at the time. "We didn’t agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today, you look at the other side and you’re the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We don't talk to each other anymore."

Re: trump (the former guy)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business ... IPDQF4Wm08
Florida legislators approved a legislative package Wednesday that will dramatically expand gambling in the state and sets the stage for former president Donald Trump to pursue a casino license at his Doral golf resort.
The legislation includes a 30-year compact with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, negotiated by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a Trump ally. The compact includes a provision barring the tribe from interfering should the state issue a gambling license to a facility more than 15 miles “in a straight line” from the tribe’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
Trump’s Doral resort, which he purchased in 2012 and then spent an estimated $250 million renovating, is slightly more than 15 miles away.
Trump’s son Eric Trump, who has managed the company since Trump entered office in 2017, told The Washington Post in March that Doral would be a natural fit for a casino.
“Many people consider Trump Doral to be unmatched from a gaming perspective — at 700 acres, properties just don’t exist of that size and quality in South Florida, let alone in the heart of Miami,” Eric Trump said in an email. He did not respond to a request for comment this week.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Funny. Fox was never too concerned that Lyndsay Graham, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio said worse things about Trump before the 2016 election. After the election, they were all smiles and thinking happy thoughts about Trump. Fox never pointed out the "hypocrisy".
Re: trump (the former guy)
Yes Trump is certainly unmatched from a gaming perspective. Where’s the video of the Taj being reduced to rubble a few months ago? After all, it’s why the Nevada Gaming Commission gave him that license for his fancy Vegas Casino!Kendra wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 7:55 pm https://www.washingtonpost.com/business ... IPDQF4Wm08

Re: trump (the former guy)
So if trump has a felony conviction from New York on his resume, will FL still grant him a license? I bet they would.

Re: trump (the former guy)
At least in this case, there may be other reasons for them changing the law, though the 15-mile rule was probably for Trump. Just the other day, I was reading an article about former Florida sporting stars playing jai alai for a casino. The reason they took up the sport and the casinos have jai alai is the current law requires parimutuel betting on the premises to have a casino but Florida banned greyhound racing last year. Jai alai was there way of fulfilling the parimutuel part.filly wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 8:49 pmYes Trump is certainly unmatched from a gaming perspective.

While I have not read the bill that passed, I would not be surprised if that was the bigger reason for the change, not just for Trump.
Here is the ESPN article that talked about jai alai. Only part is available without a subscription.
