No those are specific investors like Jer, Clarion capital, lnr/Rialto, starwood, World class Capita and a few others. Paper buyers with some asset level expertise.

Don’t get lost in all the detail, point being is there’s checks and along the way he doesn’t access to the easiest, cheapest capital.

You guys are all looking for smoking guns and there may be some but as I said, the German govt is inside DB like a bad guy in a victim in the show OZ so they’d know what’s up. DB has just been one of the more aggressive lenders which is why their on the ropes and why the govt Dkd a DB-Commerzbank merger the same way our govt wouldn’t allow citi and Wachovia to merge in sept of 08.

Have to look at equity, zoning and regulatory support, tax breaks and incentives (remember tax credits can be sold off for cash which is finally getting exposed for the inflated valuation fraud it’s been for a long time, conservation easement, LIHTC, historic preservation, film, etc).

And pay more attention to Tom barrack and the Saudi dough. Maybe 1MB, GIC (govt of Singapore) possibly Investcorp which has a lot of middle eastern money. These are players who’d be more likely to be doing stuff to scrutinize at this point than where everyone is going.

Thanks, but if it doesn't tie Trump to Russia, nobody's interested.

Wishful thinking.
I'm interested. So are lots of folks.
Corruption is corruption.

Walking, talking national security nightmare.

o d is tweeting images that show we violated another countries air space!

You don't know that it was not sat image.
It could have been from a higher resolution &/or enhanced sat image.
Comml sat image is close.

https://www.npr.org/2019/08/30/75599459 ... ge-of-iran

It was not entirely clear where the president's photo came from. Panda believes it was most likely taken by a classified U.S. satellite. But Melissa Hanham, deputy director of the Open Nuclear Network at the One Earth Foundation, believes that the resolution is so high, it may be beyond the physical limits at which satellites can operate. "The atmosphere is thick enough that after somewhere around 11 to 9 centimeters, things get wonky," she says.

That could mean it was taken by a drone or spy plane, though such a vehicle would be violating Iranian airspace. Hanham also says that the European company Airbus has been experimenting with drones that fly so high, they are technically outside the atmosphere and thus operating outside national boundaries. But she says she doesn't know whether the U.S. has such a system.

Glare in the center of the image suggests the image in the tweet was itself a photo of a briefing slide. Panda suggests it could have been displayed on a computer screen in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. It's also possible it was a photo of a piece of paper.

Either way, Panda notes that a small redaction in the upper left-hand corner suggests the intelligence community had cleared the image for release by the president.

In the New Testament, Jesus (who is said to be the Chosen Messiah) calmed stormy seas: Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, and Luke 8:22-25. Now that Orange Douche has proclaimed himself the Chosen, let us see Him calm hurricane Dorian.

He will probably proclaim he steered it out to sea - latest model tracks don't seem to have it coming fully ashore, and many have it just grazing the Florida/Georgia/Carolina coastlines. But still to early for a really accurate prediction...

So true!

Even in here, where the IQ is consistently a number you don't want to see on your jacuzzi thermostat, everyone agrees that DJT is a slimeball, but those who support him always have what, to them, is a legit 'yeah, but..."

Like most of us on here who always thought we were conservative and never dreamed that the conservatives would be agitating
against the FBI, the Intel community, and the deficit hawks,

while agitating for

the Russians, the offshore sovereign funds, tariffs, and bailouts for farmers,

here is a cartoon that (I believe) sums up the Trump voter base:




Are there any others?

This one is factual

MD is a self proclaimed Republican and he certainly does not fit into any of the 3 categories you list here. There has to be a 4th category for MD. I don't know what the hell it would be, but he deserves his own category indeed.

Trump canceled a trip to commemorate WWII so he could monitor a hurricane only to then be spotted playing golf two days in a row at his personal club. Imagine President Obama having the effrontery. Even Democrats would scream.
