In the months before he launched Trump Network in 2009, he acquired TrumpMultiLevelMarketing.com, TrumpNetworkFraud.com, TrumpNetworkPyramidScheme.com, TrumpNetworkPonziScheme.com and 15 similar iterations. He sold the business in 2012.
"Whoever bought those domains was already thinking those allegations might be raised. Most reputable organizations do not go out and buy these kinds of websites. Most companies are not going to engage in activities that would cause this kind of blowback," said oscar Rubin, senior counselor at rbb Communications in Miami who is one of the top crisis public relations experts in the country.

Trump took similar measures to defend Trump University. He registered 157 versions for related operations across the United States and Puerto Rico.
...
Trump -- known for being a litigious celebrity -- also bought ImBeingSuedByTheDonald.com in 2009.

I've been waiting to use the microwave FOREVER because I can hear someone in the break room "using it" as they are in the process of preparing some goddamn five course meal. Like, 15-20 minutes to prepare your lunch at work? GMAFB.

No MHS is a big knock against anyone's Townie credentials. "Steve" does have the new restaurant thing down, though, and more than enough overall Townie enthusiasm to be a good host.

Ultimately, that doesn't really matter very much. Focus on what's most important, like the perpetual war in your own mind against the libs who don't all always share a single, timeless, changeless view that can always avoid all appearance of inconsistency even under the most uncharitable of interpretations.

« on: February 20, 2017, 08:55:48 AM »It appears that the deep state had a dear friend in Barrack Obama. While Dems absolutely lost their minds about the Pub neoncons, they voted the real neocons into office to wage war across the globe, to plant the seeds of the next world war and cede the power of the government over to the unelected intelligence complex.

LOVE this. 
I hope that Townie credentials is a recurring theme. Maybe some guests will enjoy providing their own credentials. Or if there is a report of a local event, Townie credentials of those involved could be particularly enlightening.

I fell asleep and missed about 20 min in the middle so it seemed just right with length
Nit picking, all of it. It's a brilliant movie. And one you can laugh your ass off while watching with your six year-old.

I think Miami is the US city that's most like a city in a foreign country. And has by far the craziest drivers.

It's an intetesting question. Some of the biggest considerations for me would be: Atlanta for culture and metropolitan stuff. New Orleans for CULTURE. Some nice Florida place like West Palm because it's not the South and beaches.

I think what dax is saying is that while he cares about Trump's spending, he just cares WAY, WAY MORE about exposing possible proglib inconsistencies. Priorities.

Mr. Flynn is gone, having been caught lying about his own discussion of sanctions with the Russian ambassador. But the proposal, a peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, remains, along with those pushing it: Michael D. Cohen, the president’s personal lawyer, who delivered the document; Felix H. Sater, a business associate who helped Mr. Trump scout deals in Russia; and a Ukrainian lawmaker trying to rise in a political opposition movement shaped in part by Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul D. Manafort.
At a time when Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia, and the people connected to him, are under heightened scrutiny — with investigations by American intelligence agencies, the F.B.I. and Congress — some of his associates remain willing and eager to wade into Russia-related efforts behind the scenes.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: hiking
« on: February 19, 2017, 06:58:05 AM »I like the look of those Altra's, just worried about ankle support for serious trails. However, I need a new pair of trail runners, so maybe a 2 for 1... ?
And on the packs, I tried a few Deuter ones on while we were in Germany and loved everything about them. May have to look for a second hand one as suggested!
You'll have more fun of you tackle difficult trails. For those, turning ankles comes with the territory. I have no doubt that ankle support has spared me a good deal of pain and maybe even serious injury. The soles of running shoes also don't provide nearly as much traction for things like steep, rocky inclines.
For just day hiking, any shoes or packs that are comfortable should be fine. I've been using a very medium quality High Sierra brand pack that I got for free from a previous employer for years. I've never been crazy about it, but it works totally fine.

I'd read odds and ends about Bannon's views before, but never anything that seemed like a good overview. I'm choosing to believe that this is one.

Steve Bannon, on the other hand, is quite something. I’ve read and reread his 2014 speech at the Vatican to see if I can find any coherence in it, and I confess I failed. It’s a hodgepodge of melodrama, hysteria, and a defense of some kind of “enlightened capitalism” along Judeo-Christian lines, in the face of an imminent Islamist takeover of the planet. It’s the 1950s versus jihad, an attempt to convey the gist of the entire Drudge Report every day and turn it into a thesis. He argues that we are just “at the very beginning stages of a global conflict” that could eradicate 2,000 years of Western civilization. It reads like the apocalyptic, paranoid fantasies of someone who writes letters to the editor, single-spaced, in all caps.
Now go check out this Vice journalist’s impression of Bannon in 2014. It does not reassure: “He’s buzzing with intensity, with two pens clipped to his shirt collar. Over the next 90 minutes, he barely touched his food and never took off his coat.” He just prattles endlessly and manically on. Among the gems that emerge from the conversation: Ebola requires a massive immigration crackdown or we’re all going to die; ISIS is plotting to assassinate the Pope; and then this calm overview: “The world is in a meltdown right now. I mean, the world is on fire. And all of a sudden it’s going to dawn on people, this is not a problem for guys in the Middle East. This is a problem for you in Kansas City.” You begin to realize that he called himself a “Leninist” for a reason.
