"Trump owns 125,000 square feet of retail real estate near Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, typically a bustling retail corridor. Today, it’s a virtual ghost town."
That $1.2B in red is commercial real estate. The rest are golf courses and hotels. This is before the NYTimes discovered that Donald owes $1.1 billion..that we know of. “Sounds pretty highly levered,” says hospitality analyst Dan Wasiolek."
I am gonna bet that Donald needs the economy open and Covid gone...cuz he is going bust next year if it doesn't all magically go away. whitehouse.gov/openingamerica/
@JasonLeopold over at @BuzzFeed needs some kind of award. Mueller had plenty to nail every one of these greasy @TrumpFuckerists then he was shut down by Barr. Now you know why.
The Libya Project fell apart in June 2019. Secret payments were alleged to have been made from Kushner in 2018 using $145M UAE funds. Docs show: July 18; $28.5M to Erik Prince, July 19; $85M to Haftar. In Aug another $11m to Erik Prince final in Dec: $21M.
After Prince's minions failed, Wagner mercenaries, aka the Russians, poured into Libya in Sept, then Mozambique. Prince sued the Intercept to try to silence this story of a meeting in the UAE with Wagner's head of intel. Who was meeting whom about what? theintercept.com/2020/04/13/eri…
The oddest thing about James Bond was the American surf guitar riff against the jazz showtune background. Vic Flick did the honors.
"Then the Bond producers heard the soundtrack to the 1960 teenage "angst" movie Beat Girl, and it was just sound they were looking for. The Beat Girl theme was written by composer John Barry and features Flick on guitar. "
and I can't wait for Bannon and Prince to join Rudy. It appears they have all been doing bad things for foreign paymasters. #DrainThatSwamp. #LockThemUp
NBC shows how the sausage is made. The pitch, the vetting and what red lines prevented them from being played. We need this on ALL media stories since they lives off "story pitches" and PR. And rarely is the genesis and provenance included. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
After the election the inaction and incompetence of Trump in dealing with a pandemic will result in a new legacy as the largest mass murderer in American history. Extreme? Unfair? Yes. But a lot of pent up anger out there. #NegligentCovidcide
When this is over in two or three years, America may want to build a monument to all that we lost to the pandemic. As of today we have the highest new infection rate in history. That statistic I pin directly on Desperate Donald Trump and his band of science-hating idiots.
Pandemics are predictable, controllable and curable with time and management. We even have a pandemic expert, reporting system and scientists racing to get vaccines and medications to market. We can even learn from successful plans in other nations. ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-da…
Sean captured Bond perfectly. The original books had a very ambiguously gay, odd pain loving, homo erotic cold shower thing going on. He played it low key. Probably best caught in this later version by Daniel Craig.
