    College educated women want safety, security and healthcare protections – very much along with financial and economic health for themselves and our Country. I supply all of this far better than any Democrat (for decades, actually). That’s why they will be voting for me!

    Secret GOP Do ent Shows Even Republicans Think Trump Is To Blame For The Looming Blue Wave

    Donald Trump said this week that it won’t be his fault

    if Republicans perform poorly in next month’s midterm elections,

    but a leaked do ent shows that his own party believes the opposite.

    According to Bloomberg, a private GOP survey concluded that

    Trump would, in fact, be central to the outcome of the November elections.

    Never Fear, Don The Con Trash ain't here

    America, spreading Freedom! Democracy! World Peace! all around the world

    In Afghanistan’s Season of Crisis, ‘Words Do Not Have the Strength’

    In the past 17 years of war and crisis in Afghanistan,

    no one remembers a season quite like this one,

    with peril and hopelessness at every turn.

    People here struggle for words to explain how it feels.

    If there is a common theme in this upswell of alarm and worry that seems so widespread,

    it is a sense that no one sees any clear path through a minefield of crises.

    Any one of the problems facing Afghanistan right now would be an urgent national issue.

    Together, they have created an existential moment.

    Afghan and international officials consider government security forces’ losses to the Taliban to be unsustainable,

    as the insurgents continue to threaten districts and towns.

    The daily toll, all sides of the war included, often reaches 100 dead.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/w...er=rss&emc=rss

    After the English FAILED, after the Russians FAILED, America was warned not to go into Afghanistan.

    America getting its FAT BUTT kicked all over the planet.

    $700B+ PER YEAR, and American military can't win

    .

    socialism for me but not for thee. Trump wants to cut the FHA subsidies that made him rich.

    In his fascinating 1954 testimony before the Senate Banking Committee (begins at p. 395), Fred Trump explains how he purchased the land for the Beach Haven apartments for roughly $200,000, put the land in trust for his children and paid gift taxes on a $260,000 land valuation, and then obtained a a $16 million FHA mortgage to build the apartments. Fred's corporation owning the buildings netted $4 million from the loan proceeds above and beyond the construction costs, and the land belonging to the Trump childrens' trust was valued by the City tax assessors at $1.3 million as a result of the FHA mortgage transaction and apartment construction. In other words, Fred Trump parlayed his $200,000 investment into a $4 million cash profit for his business and a $1.3 million ground lease producing $60,000 annual income for his children. In his testimony he conceded that this would have been impossible without the FHA government loan guarantee.
    Peter Dreier and Alex Schwartz have written a nice exposé of the irony in President Trump's proposals to slash the very government housing finance subsidies to which he owes his personal fortune.

    deceptive business practices:

    In interviews and press conferences, Ivanka Trump gave false sales figures for projects in Mexico’s Baja California; Panama City, Panama; Toronto and New York’s SoHo neighborhood. These statements weren’t just the legendary Trump hype; they misled potential buyers about the viability of the developments.


    Another pattern: Donald Trump repeatedly misled buyers about the amount (or existence) of his ownership in projects in Tampa, Florida; Panama; Baja and elsewhere. For a tower planned in Tampa, for example, Trump told a local paper in 2005 that his ownership would be less than 50 percent: “But it’s a substantial stake. I recently said I’d like to increase my stake but when they’re selling that well they don’t let you do that.” In reality, Trump had no ownership stake in the project.


    The Trumps often made money even when projects failed. And when they tanked, the Trumps simply ignored their prior claims of close involvement, denied any responsibility and walked away.

    The cycle is exemplified in Panama City, where the Trumps were involved in a project to build a massive tower and complex known as the Trump Ocean Club. The project’s unfortunate turns included bankruptcy, then, years later, the forcible ejection of the Trump Organization from managing the hotel.


    There, as elsewhere, the Trump Organization disclaimed responsibility. It emphasized that it had merely licensed the Trump name to developers who handled everything from construction to marketing. “The Trump Organization was not the owner, developer or seller of the Trump Ocean Club Panama project,” it said in a statement last year. “Because of its limited role, the company was not responsible for the financing of the project and had no involvement in the sale of units.”


    That was false. For starters, Trump arranged financing — his promised commission: $2.2 million or more — by bringing in investment bank Bear Stearns, which issued the bonds that paid for the Panama project’s construction.

    Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. at the 2006 press conference at which the Trump Ocean Club development was announced. Orjan F. Ellingvag/Dagbladet/Corbis via Getty ImagesTrump touted himself as a “partner” of the developer. His daughter Ivanka briefly boasted that she had personally sold 40 units. (A broker on the project said he couldn’t remember her selling even one.) Meanwhile, Ivanka told a journalist at the time that “over 90 percent” of the Panama units had sold — and at prices five times as high as comparable buildings. Both statements were untrue.


    Not only were the Panama sales figures inflated, but many “purchases” turned out to be an illusion. That was no coincidence. The building’s financing depended on obtaining advance commitments from buyers, often before concrete had started pouring. But in between the sale of the bonds in 2007 and 2013, the year the building went bankrupt, buyers of 458 units in the 1,000-unit building abandoned their purchase contracts. Those buyers forfeited more than $50 million in deposits, and they never took possession of finished units. Given that the “buyers” were often shadowy s companies or other paper en ies, it was nearly impossible to discern who the actual purchasers were, let alone why they backed out.


    Trump licensed his name for an initial fee of $1 million. But that was just the beginning of the revenue streams, a lengthy and varied assortment that granted him a piece of everything from sales of apartment units to a cut of minibar sales, and was notable for the myriad ways in which both success and failure triggered payments to him.


    Consider the final accounting: In the wake of the project’s bankruptcy, a 50 percent default rate and his company’s expulsion from managing the hotel, Donald Trump walked away with between $30 million and $55 million.

    Ivanka Trump’s exaggerations about the Ocean Club reflected a tactic she and her father employed repeatedly in other cases, ProPublica and WNYC found. Their statements, typically made in the midst of sales drives, tended to overstate the number of units under contract or the Trump Organization’s equity stake in projects scattered around the globe.


    The Trumps’ propensity to overstate sales led them, as ProPublica, WNYC and the New Yorker reported last year, to be investigated on potential felony fraud charges in one case. Ivanka had announced in June 2008 that 60 percent of the units at the SoHo tower had been bought when in fact 15 percent had, according to an affidavit filed by a Trump partner. The Manhattan district attorney’s office considered charging the Trumps but backed off after a visit from a donor — Trump’s attorney Marc Kasowitz. (The DA, Cyrus Vance, denied he was influenced by the donation but later changed his policy and now refuses donations from lawyers with cases before him.)

    As much as President Donald Trump has ridiculed media as "the enemy of the people," rebuking "fake news," here is some real news from Newsweek showing he is a friend of the media: President Trump "is taking more questions that any president in history."

    Newsweek's claim attributes the media blitz to the lack of daily press briefings by press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and cites ABC News' report President Trump "has taken nearly 300 questions from reporters in the past 11-day span alone."
