Zer0 has amassed quite the fortune. My question is how did he make so much?

“...book deals, and real estate deals are the most prominent ways.”

And speaking tours.

“There is no bottom to the depth of my hatred for the Obamas, for what they and their rats have done to our once republic.”

A great many share that feeling. And a great many love then. Cold CWII.

I’ve not looked it up to verify this, but I’ve had a few folks tell me he inherited a pretty good sum, or gets some sort of payment from an estate.

Obviously don’t know all the particulars.

They ere gifted with lucrative speaking fees and book deals too.

and I think the local tax situation convinced him to avoid that idea.

I think the parties in the Vineyard are nicer........

That’s probably true, but I was thinking more along the lines of, someone might have been forced to take a dirt nap, if they didn’t cut the asking price in half. 😁👎

These low rent grifters made 200K/yr for 8 years and they come up with the cash for this stuff?

And the pimps in Congress (RATS and Repugnants) want Trump's tax returns?

Up is down, black is white, right is wrong. We're in Bizarro World.

Dear Black Americans,

One half-black American DID get reparation money, and a whole lot of it — Barack Hussein Obama. Sure worked out great for The One!

Too bad, so sad for you.

Yeah, well you can’t buy that on a president’s salary, or pension. The book deals won’t do it either. Where did this man get the money. Remember “at some point, you have to say that you have enough money.”

Stuff like this is why I don’t think there is any way Michelle Obama would accept the nomination at the Democratic convention, even if the convention was deadlocked. She and Barack are set for life, why would she give that up?

This is so obviously a payoff it isn't even funny. bammy and 'squatch were just given about 20, maybe 25 million dollars in the form of free real-estate.

Sure, they'll "pay" 11 million and change (well, someone will, probably not them) but that property is worth at least mid 20's, maybe low 30's in millions.

Want to check? Go to Zillow and put in 4+ bedroom, 4+ bathroom, minimum 5000 sq. ft. (bammy's place is close to 7000). Now poke around at the couple dozen listings on Marth'a Vineyard that show up. Sure, you can get some "deals" on a few places in the single-digit millions. Note that these are not in great shape, and / or they are on city lots, shoulder to shoulder with neighbors. Note that ocean front lots, and lots at 4 or 9 acres get up into the 20 million range.

So how did bammy & 'squatch score 30 acres of ocean front at only 11 million?

Yup, just more graft that is legal only for liberal pukes. Anyone would go to jail.
