Yeah, Trump took the $35 million he inherited from his father, and "SQUANDERED" it up to $3 BILLION!

No matter how his father made his money, Donald has definitely made good use of his inheritance. On the other hand, if you think turning $35 million into $3 billion is squandering, your brain is damaged.


The entire estate was estimated to be worth between $100 - $300 million, depending on who was doing the calculating. But I loved your comment ... "Squandered it up to $3 Billion."

Who the hell watches Fox news? According to google Fox News makes a profit of 1.5 Billion a year mostly off conservative men 69 and older. And why wouldn't the Huffington Post be a reliable source?


Any news source that is either 100% anti-republican or anti-democrat can't be viewed as a credible news source. And if you're not credible, you're not reliable.

It is not as if trump has made 3 billion.. the 3 billion is what he has not squandered of the fortune that was given to him by his criminal father...



Trump inherited less than $400M. This has been well-documented for years. Your statement is totally baseless and shows just how ill-informed and biased you are.

Find somewhere else to spew your nonsense troll.

What?!! A self-made billionaire didn't achieve one of his goals ... "Stop the presses!!"

Just more meaningless Trump bashing from the lunatic fringe.

Well, if the Huffington Post says it, it must be true.

Study have also shown that those who get their news strictly from disingenuous, hypocritical, left-leaning, agenda ridden, Trump-hating news sources quickly lose all objectivity and become mindless lemmings.

You shouldn't use news sources that are known to lean heavily one way or the other to support a point. You lose all credibility as a rational thinking human being and instead show yourself to be the regurgitating sheep that you are.

Richards, there isn't a great deal of new money entering the stock market. And, if you were to pick any NASDAQ stock and look at what corporate insiders are doing, you'd see most of them have been selling off over the past 12 months. (Example: https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/jnj/insider-trades ).

The stock market meteoric rise is based solely on stock buy-backs and central bank purchasing programs. Corporations are leveraging their companies to the hilt to borrow large sums of money at extremely low interest rates. This borrowed money is used to buy back existing stock thereby raising the price of all remaining stock. They all do it, which is why they are all carrying enormous debt these days (hence the outrageous P/E ratios).

Once the stock price hits a certain level, which it must have done, the insiders sell off. The pensioners and retirement fund holders will be the ones holding the bag when the stock market looses its liquidity.

Individual Democrats running for congressional seats are out fundraising many of their opponents. That being said it isn’t as big a deal as rich is making it. The RNC has much more money to prop up its opponents. More worrisome is the huge v***r r**********n drive going on here in Florida with all the Puerto Rican refugees, immigrants, wh**ever they are. They will v**e Democrat.


Hey liberals, progressives, socialists, wh**ever you're calling yourselves these days ... your programs and policies aren't working and aren't popular if you have to flood the country with undocumented immigrants to have any hope of winning e******ns. In other words, if your ideology was so great, you'd be winning e******ns hands down and wouldn't have to flood the country with overseas v**ers.

Yes, the obvious one sentence in the Memo that contradicts its whole point: that the investigation that led to FISA warrants were based on previous information into a Trump aide, the indicted George Papadopoulos, who has been cooperating with Mueller's investigation. The Memo left out key information, not the FBI or Justice Department. There is zero of significance or even slight intrigue. The FBI did share with the House Intelligent Committee that the dossier was part of a "major political party."

So you don't have a problem with the DNC or Clinton campaign funding the dossier? Or that the author of the dossier is an admitted trump h**er? Or that no one in the Justice Department or FBI thought it relevant to share those relationships with the Court? If proven, you wouldn't have a problem with any of that?

I agree 100% with your assessment. I have not watched TV in over a year and feel better for it. I realized that my news was coming from other peoples opinion. Now I get my information on line, more options. Sure it's still other peoples opinions, but now I have more sources. Most of the time I read the Left view first. Then I read the view from a Christian standpoint. Next I read from the Right. Digest the views on each subject and form my own opinion. I agree with Liberty's reply to your post. I think the biggest problem we have here on OPP is that we let the Trolls bait and d**g us into one of their senseless rants. So, I ignore most of them. When a Troll posts something that is against my God, Country and Family instead of going into an endless debate, I make fun of them. Just finished a post back to Kev. Very seldom do I get a reply from any of them. It really is fun.

Amen brother! I stopped watching TV as well -- totally cutting the cable. It became increasingly obvious to me that I was being manipulated by mainstream media ... and I include FOX in with that group. Not just giving me the news but telling me how I should think and feel about it.

Now I make a conscience effort to find news sources that only present the facts "as they seem them." Then I bounce those 'facts' against multiple sources to determine if the source of those facts is legit. This helps me formulate my own opinion without outside influence. I'll still watch the talking heads from time to time (via the internet), but I am much less likely now to be influenced by someone else's agenda. It really helps me maintain my objectivity.

I think it is important to note that the liberal news sources when fact checked have proven to be "fabricated" endlessly and opinion of reporting sold instead as fact.
Granted many worthy news sources can be guilty of jumping the gun and reporting before sources have been fact checked or have relied on a single source instead of at least two, the standard in reporting. In light of reporting errors, none come fractionally close to the liberal owned media.
Another divide in communication breakdown on OPP, after a few years on this forum, I have posted Empirical Evidence, Facts, documentation dozens of times and not once, zero, zilch, never has a liberal acknowledged and yet multiple times I have witnessed conservatives conceding when a liberal has posted facts. In most every case after dozens of threads I have found and posted empirical evidence, facts or documentation at which point the liberal vanished from the post, only to be found later on another post bashing conservatives with the very same lies that have been proven false with empirical evidence, facts or documentation.
I find with extreme exceptions liberals to not only be liars, but deceptive, dishonest 10-1 over conservatives.

Anyone else experience the same?

It's not only the f**e news, it's the f**e party as a whole, as a group.

I can't argue this point. I certainly don't know what the ratio is, but I do believe liberalism is based more on emotion than fact. If it feels right, then it's right - facts be damned.

One quick example of this might be the argument for or against a living wage ... or universal income ... or wh**ever it is they're calling it these days. All facts and previous attempts prove that minimum wage laws do not work but do in fact more harm than good. But facts don't really matter to the liberal/socialist. Raising the minimum wage to $15 just feels right. And anyone who FEEL differently MUST be a white, rich, greedy, capitalist. That's what they're told so that's what they believe. Because it's true? No. Because it feels right. Showering liberals with a mountain of empirical data isn't going to change their opinion because that opinion was not based on fact - it is based on what they perceive to right or good or just. Their thought process is two-dimensional really. Guns k**l children therefore we must eliminate guns. It just feels right.

I'm not slamming liberals really, it's just how I see them. I think conservatives, as a rule, could be a bit more empathetic. I know I could be. I think we'd be able to bridge this divide much better if both sides were a bit more balanced ... if conservatives were a bit more compassionate and liberals a bit more pragmatic.

You have to be kidding. Read the Memo with an open mind and all conspiracies disappear.


The memo is just a memo. It is not proof of anything. We'll have to wait to see where it all leads. Until then I'm withholding judgement.

But clearly, the FISA Court was entitled to a few key pieces of information which seem, at least to me, to have been deliberately withheld.

My question to you is: Is there any part of this memo that might give you pause? Do you really believe that, if true, there's nothing of significance there?

I have said several times that the two most dangerous groups in America are those who blindly condemn Trump no matter what he says or does and those who blindly praise him no matter what he says or does.


I agree. And there's nothing new under the sun. There are just as many Trump h**ers in America as there are/were Obama h**ers (or would-be Clinton H**ers had she won). They just happen to be different halves of the same America. We are definitely a divided country. I fear civil war (or at least civil unrest) may be in our future. Thankfully I'm on the side that believes in the right to bear arms.

Yeah, I was talking more about his sources than his comment. I'm not interested in his opinion. All he does is insult the president at every turn ... he's a broken record.

As for the topic ... meh, who cares. Trump is obviously trying to get a rise out of the audience. Doesn't matter what he says though, DJRich is going to find fault with it. Or, even more likely, he'll just regurgitate something he's heard from somebody else. Not much of an original thinker this one.

According to the article JFlorio just posted: "The Republican National Committee raised $132.5 million in 2017 and ended the year with almost $39 million on hand and no debt. The Democratic committee took in $66 million and had $6.5 million in cash available, but also owed $6.1 million."

Guess it just depends on what you're reading. Another reason why you can't just trust a single source ... especially when that source is proven to have an agenda.

“Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information,” the memo claims, referring to the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.


That's what I said. Are you playing word games now?
