“I cannoot support candidate who (allegedly) transported hookers across state lines. He is a felon!”

Alledged felon ....

But he never found gold. Instead, in the words of Blair, Trump “mined the miners.” As he trudged through this horrific trail, he began to sense an opportunity. Trump decided to build a restaurant right on that route to serve the legions of hungry miners who were sure to pass by. With a partner, he opened his first location on Bennett Lake in northern B.C. before moving it to Whitehorse, Yukon.

But — and you knew something else was coming — the reason for the restaurant’s success had little to do with the food. Advertisements for the eatery included references to private rooms for women, which, according to Blair, were “widely understood to be prostitutes.” The restaurant in Whitehorse also offered curtained-off areas for gambling. Alcohol, of course, was also served.

After such a long, horrid journey, all these gold seekers now had a place to indulge in fine food, have easy access to women and blow off some steam at the poker table. Say what you will about the Trump family politically, but that’s a pretty solid business instinct.

Sadly for Trump, the good times didn’t last forever. As most of the gold was siphoned away from the Yukon, fewer travellers crossed through the route. Once 1901 rolled around, the RCMP was also about to launch a new initiative to put an end to prostitution and gambling.

“The writing was on the wall that there was going to be a crackdown and cleanup,” Blair said.

Knowing the end was near, Trump left the restaurant in the hands of his partner and returned to Germany with just over half a million dollars in today’s currency. There, he found a wife. But German authorities quickly noticed Trump had never completed his mandatory military service, and soon he was deported from the country back to the U.S.

The rest, as they say, is history. But just to be clear: Frederick Trump immigrated from Germany to the U.S., then moved on to Canada (where he built a fortune using illegal activity), then back to Germany, then to the U.S. He did so in a way that evaded his military duties. Meanwhile, two of Donald’s platform highlights involve closing the border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out and beefing up the military as much as possible.

Irony?

how can you defend a candidate transporting 18 year olds dressed as cathloic schoolgirls across state lines for sex? (alledgedly)

“Irony?”

Given Kennedy’s family history, it’s just tiresome.

Visit not the sins of the father upon the sons.

So.....Frederick Trump isn't the sort of fellow that should be running for president.

Guess what......he isn't!

He is also quite dead!

It’s especially ironic given that your ancestors, assuming you are from Texas, were living in, and likely fully supporting Jim Crow laws at the same time that Trump’s ancestors were creating the Las Vegas Casino business model. Funny how things turn out. I wonder if you should be charged with the sins of 100 years ago.

Your comedic timing needs work.I kept waiting for the punchline.

Here's how it's done, Tex. Take notes.

FW: This is how Political Spin is done in DC

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher here in southern California, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Harry (senator (D) from Nevada) Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory.

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription:

'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their mutual great-great uncle.

Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:

'Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.'

That's real POLITICAL SPIN! THAT is how it's done folks!
