We're talking about Cuomo and Trump: don't hijack.


The news story was about Cuomo. YOU are talking about Trump. What he has to do with it I do not know.

Hell, what's the good of having power unless you use it to your advantage?

What, do you think America's polticians are in it for the good of their constituents?

Bwa ha ha ha.

My comment was in response to Terapined's reference to Trump.

You really need to pay attention.

Yeah, the Coronavirus test thing almost goes without saying. I'd think that's going to be generally true of most politicians who can swing that. I tend to think that's just the sort of thing you're only going to find when digging into a person anyway.

Just like campaign funds being misused or pilfered. I just kind of assume that's what is going to happen to them, and consequently, do not donate money to campaigns, parties or causes.

So the land under the building is sold? Hmm? Can you sell the land under your house? Must be some sort of contract drawn up.

You can but it is not common on residential except in a few areas, Baltimore and Hawaii to name 2. FWIW you can sell just the coal under your land.

The video mentioned they owned under Caesars and some other land. The idea is get a steady stream of lease payments and build a land portfolio. MGM reduces debt. IIRC Trump was in a land/building deal with the Empire State Building maybe in the 80s.

The quote is from the linked article. I am sure that alcohol based hand sanitizers would never effect a fingertip sensor.


"Although the exact type of alcohol monitor the bill would require is unclear, passive alcohol sensors are described in a report by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The group recommends "driver monitoring systems, touch-based systems that can read your blood alcohol concentration through your fingertips"
