Lounge The loony liberals

Yeah, so let's burn down our well run cities and loot the hell out of them for reparations. And once we win everything let's take everything and we will all work for the more ethical government.

 

On August 14, 2020 (about a month ago)

There were:
20,900,000 cases of coronavirus in the world
760,000 deaths from coronavirus in the world
7,800,000,000 people in the world
5,260,000 cases of coronavirus in the United States (25% of the total world cases)
167,000 deaths from coronavirus in the United States (22% of the total world deaths)
328,200,000 people in the United States (4.2% of the world population)

So yesterday (August 13, 2020) Donald Trump tweeted:
My fellow Americans. The coronavirus is perhaps the most insidious and deadly enemy the United States has ever faced. However, the spirit and determination of the American people will prevail as it always has in times of crisis. We will get through this, we will get through this together and we will emerge as a stronger and better nation. God bless us and God bless this America.

Naaaaw, that’s not what he tweeted! This is what he really said:

Very poor morning TV ratings for MSDNC’s Morning Joe, headed by a complete Psycho named Joe Scarborough and his ditzy airhead wife, Mika, and also @CNN, headed by complete unknowns. Congratulations to @foxandfriends on dominating the mornings (thank you President Trump!).

 

Keep drinking the kool-aid.

Trump Has Now Shifted $1.9 Million From Campaign Donors To His Business

• None of Trump’s businesses have accepted more cash from the campaign than Trump Tower Commercial LLC, an entity that holds office and retail space inside the president’s most famous New York City building. So far, the reelection effort has paid $1.3 million to Trump Tower Commercial, in which the president maintains a 100% interest. The Republican National Committee, working in coordination with the campaign, shelled out an additional $225,000 from September 2017 to January 2018. Of the $1.5 million that Trump Tower Commercial has received from the Trump campaign and the RNC, $113,000 came in the last three months of 2019, the most recent period on record.
  
  An entity named the Trump Corp., which is also owned entirely by the president, has taken in $259,000 of campaign funds since January 2017. The president’s latest financial disclosure report, filed in May 2019, describes the Trump Corp. as a “management company.” FEC filings show it is charging the campaign for legal and IT consulting. It is not clear what specific services the Trump Corp. has provided. Nor is it clear why the president’s reelection campaign is apparently relying on a management company for help with legal and technology issues. The Trump Corp. collected $12,000 in the final quarter of 2019.
  
  The next-biggest beneficiary is the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The president’s second home on Pennsylvania Avenue has taken in $126,000 of Trump campaign money, according to an analysis of FEC filings. Those payments, however, seem to be slowing down. From October to December of 2019, the campaign paid no money directly to the D.C. hotel.
  
  The campaign did, however, hand about $60,000 to an entity called the Trump Hotel Collection in the final three months of 2019. Those funds covered the cost of facility rentals, according to FEC filings. It is not clear which facilities the campaign rented. Trump’s financial disclosure report shows that the Trump Hotel Collection is the operating name for an entity called Trump International Hotels Management LLC, which does business in New York and Hawaii. Through a series of companies, the president owns 100% of Trump International Hotels Management LLC, according to an analysis of his disclosure report.
  
  More campaign contributions headed to Trump Plaza LLC, which leases a parking garage, retail space and two brownstones near Third Avenue and East 61st Street in Manhattan. So far, Trump Plaza LLC, which the president owns outright, has collected $84,000 from the campaign, according to FEC filings. The documents list those expenses as “rent,” though they do not specify exactly what the Trump campaign is renting. The reelection effort does not seem to be using Trump Plaza LLC’s retail or parking spaces. In November 2018, a Forbes reporter stood outside of the brownstones for 14 hours to ask residents whether they had seen any sign of the campaign inside those buildings. None of them said they had. A 2016 Trump staffer, however, said campaign officials sometimes crashed at a Trump Plaza apartment.
  
  There’s also money flowing into a business called Trump Restaurants LLC. That entity, in which the president holds a 100% interest, appears to be charging the campaign to rent a small souvenir stand in the basement of Trump Tower. Every month, the campaign pays Trump Restaurants LLC $3,000, which suggests annual payments of roughly $600 per square foot. Gucci, which rents a bigger, better location inside Trump Tower, is paying $460 per square foot annually, according to an analysis of a debt prospectus obtained by Forbes. One New York City real estate expert previously said the campaign’s rates seemed high, but two others pointed out that small spaces often charge higher rents on a price-per-square-foot basis.
  
  As long as the Trump campaign is paying fair-market rates, all of these transactions appear to be legal. When asked about the payments, a Trump campaign official ignored a detailed set of questions and issued a general statement. “The campaign pays fair-market value under negotiated rental agreements and other service agreements in compliance with the law,” the statement said. “The campaign works closely with campaign counsel to ensure strict compliance in this regard.”
  
  The payments did not seem to trouble Bradley Smith, a Republican who served as an FEC commissioner from 2000 to 2005. “There’s no problem, so to speak, doing business with yourself, as long as you’re not giving yourself some kind of super-favorable deal that the public can’t get,” he said.
  
  Even if a campaign were breaking rules by paying exorbitant rates, there’s not a lot anyone could do about it right now. The FEC, which examines such things, cannot take any official commission action unless at least four of its six commissioners vote to do so. Since Trump took office, three of the FEC’s commissioners have left their posts. Their seats—which demand presidential appointments and Senate confirmations—have yet to be filled.
  
  “They can’t even meet without four members, because four is a quorum,” said Ann Ravel, a Democrat who left her post as a commissioner in March 2017. “They cannot ask the general counsel’s office to investigate anything. So if a complaint comes in, it will just sit there.”
