What's it to you how much someone gets paid, and is your objection to all journalists making bank, or just left-leaning, non-conservative gay ones? |

Yes, I was aware of that fact. My point: being a Vanderbilt "opened doors" for Anderson that would not have opened for most of us. Couple that to his intelligence and desire to work hard and voila', success in NYC. A fortuitous situation. |

So he's a white dude, born into a rich family who had the benefit of an elite education. Not the first, and won't be the last. |

Not just a "rich family:" also very prominent family in NYC. That intangible carries a LOT of weight. |

Sounds similar to a certain President you aren’t fond of. |

Hardly. Gloria Vanderbilt was true NYC high society. Donald Trump was generally not accepted by New York City's established high society or old-money elite, who often viewed him as a "short-fingered vulgarian" and an outsider. While he was a fixture in Manhattan’s nightlife and real estate scene from the 1970s through the 1990s, he was considered more of a gadfly or outer-borough striver than a member of the social aristocracy. |

| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4237 | Hussein's classified comment lowers the odds of "standard" aliens existing [credibility is already shot]: Nephilim possibly though [demons], before and after the great flood. Likely combined with an unusually high percentage of Neanderthal genetics. Likely not reptilian shape-shifters, but possibly Royalty. And not 7-8 foot tall with huge eyes because it'd likely be bred out already. They'd be mostly mixed in with the general public, other than a few peculiar physical traits.  My guess is he was told to say that [or else] because of the next drop of Epstein files. It's the same pattern, over and over and over.  |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6374 | that was somebody else that objected I say let everybody get what they can negotiate. In the case of the news media muckety-mucks, I suspect they are just bad negotiators ... thinking for example that they just can't live without Stephen A. Smith and have to pay him similarly Of course they refuse to read "the art of the deal" !! I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

It is unclear what Trump was referring to in his post. Greenland and Denmark have free, nationalized health care systems. What's in this for you? Who pays for this? WTF is he playing at, now? |
