Yep, was just going to say that.

Can’t read it as I’m not subscribed. Certainly have no desire to get subscribed.

Next line attack by media I believe this will be.

According to CNN, Tweets she personally writes have her initials. She didn’t write it. Some intern did, but obviously she’s cool with it as the brain dead zombies think it is one of the most creative and funny thing they have ever read.

I don’t know. It sounds like he is barely making ends meet.

I’ll slip him a five when I see him.

I must have misunderstood, but did Clinton really respond to DJT that he should delete his account??? If that is the best she's got then the debates will be very one-sided indeed.

You read it right. ;-)

Let’s ask establishments where Hill and Trump have eaten on the campaign trail. Isn’t Hillary famous for never tipping, and sometimes not even paying?

I'm in Illinois, we haven't paid our bills or had a budget in a year and a half. No problems here. Nor a big deal to us.

Go Trump

Isn’t Clinton famous for stiffing vendors to her campaign?

The simple answer for all of these unpaid bills is that some of Trump's businesses went bankrupt, leaving unpaid bills. In a bankruptcy, the one declaring bankruptcy is NOT ALLOWED TO PREFERENTIALLY PAY ANY BILLS OWING TO ANY CREDITOR! NONE! After the bankruptcy, if he, or the business, pays even one of those bills placed into the bankruptcy, he has to pay all. That's the law. He, or the business, cannot show any preference for one creditor over another, or he voids the terms of the bankruptcy!

Looking through the list that USA Today published and they all look like bills submitted in the businesses that did indeed go bankrupt. . . and this is a rehash of old news with a HUGE dash of pity for those who were burned in the fire. It was not TRUMP who went bankrupt in these bankruptcies but businesses, corporations with others involved, which he invested in who used his name on the masthead which went bankrupt. He lost his investment in them, far more money than any of the people who are listed in this pity party article intended to pull at people's heart strings posing Trump as someone who walked away with all the cash when he LOST, TOO, and more then did any of them!

Even the Trumo Casino construction project where USA Today reports that 253 subcontractors claimed they were not paid on time or as much as they billed. Is the USA Today claiming that TRUMP was the General Contractor for building that casino??? If you recall that was a project in New Jersey, a state tied up with Unions where it was continually tied up with labor disputes which interrupted the critical timelines of much of the project, which delayed payments so liens were filed. So I highly doubt it was the fault of the GC which was NOT Trump. . . But I bet they were paid by the time the construction was completed. USA Today doesn't bother to tell that part of the story.

The casino cabinet maker? Read the whole story. $400K contract. Unhappy because of $83k unpaid. There's a reason they did not get that full amount and it WILL be in that contract or they would have sued for it and won. This is sour grapes. No professional cabinet company fails for the lack of a year's salary for one expert cabinet maker. . . or almost what Hillary made on the investment of $1000 in cattle futures.

There’s a mall developer here that is always accused of stiffing contractors. He has built malls all over the Northeast. How do they get anyone to work on their projects if they aren’t paying?

No.

“FYI, Hillary Clinton did not actually tweet that ‘sick’ Donald Trump burn”

http://archive.is/glp3l#selection-3167.0-3167.73

“That said, a quick fact-check is in order: Clinton, the 68-year-old grandmother who thinks “going viral” refers to disease, did not actually, personally send that tweet. In fact, it’s likely that the candidate never so much as saw or approved the message before it went out and became Thursday’s Big Twitter Thing. If she had, custom dictates, the message would have been signed with the initial “–H.” And even those tweets, rumor has it, don’t always come straight from the candidate.

Instead, they come from a very savvy, well-resourced team of several dozen social and digital media strategists, all working out of the Clinton campaign’s Brooklyn offices. Profiling the team last January, USA Today likened it to “a new media startup,” like Vox or Buzzfeed; Jake Horowitz, the founder of Mic — another new media startup in that vein — described it as a “sophisticated operation.””
