New York should seize Trump Tower
The Washington Post ^ | 12/12/2016 | Catherine Rampell

Posted on 12/13/2016 11:09:45 AM PST by Trump20162020

Froufrou Fifth Avenue resembles a police state.

Officers wielding gigantic guns guard Trump Tower, where President-elect Donald Trump conducts all transition business, and soon lots of presidential business, too. Shoppers patronizing the stores, cafes or public gardens inside must endure layers of security screening. Streets and sidewalks are barricaded; traffic is snarled; and costumed buskers milk money from the looky-loos obstructing the entrances to Gucci and Tiffany.

The challenges of securing this 58-story building in a high-density neighborhood will, by Inauguration Day alone, drain $35 million of local taxpayer money. Who knows the additional costs to commerce and property values?

The Feds should seize the Washington Post’s headquarters.

The Feds won’t do that. It’s propaganda central HQ.

How the frig is this paper still in business?

Because no matter the losses, the propaganda value gained from exerting political leverage is priceless.

Which brings up an important point: if failing fake news media outlets like the NY Times, Wapo, LA Times, etc aren't commercial enterprises, what are they?

Because if they are simply foreign controlled vehicles in which to sow discord and promote insurrection, are they still protected by the 1A?

Amazon Bezos,

perhaps you can take Trump Tower yourself.
Instruct your WashPost blog writers to encircle the building with caution tape. Bezos, 1-click order some mega phones and tell all Trumpettes to leave.

Hurry up Bezos, Trump will soon end your fraudulent Business Patents on common business patents like 1-click, 2-click or 32 million-click.

LMAO

This is stupid. New York has the UN. They specialize in security. They keep alive Saudi’s and people like Putin and the Shaw of Iran. This may be a little annoying. I had an office 2 blocks from Obama’s office in Chicago. It was a little annoying until he went to Washington. And it was noticeable when he came back to town. Also, I have been caught on the highway watching a President move from the airport to Manhattan. And anyone who has been in mid-town during the opening of the UN knows this is just part of being in New York.

I actually thought it was impossible for the Washington Post to get worse after Bezos bought it. Boy, was I wrong. Green lighting the special snowflakes to write articles about crying themselves to sleep after Trump was elected, not able to plan for a life of bliss by settling down because of Trump, generating Orwellian ministry of truth hit lists, fabricating that the Red Scare is back from the 1950s, and now expressing fantasies to strike out at Trump by illegally taking his building from him is amazing to watch as they become a complete dumpster fire. There is obviously no adults in charge of the paper at this point and these special snowflakes are turning a joke of a paper into an even bigger joke.

These people are total idiots. Why are they even allowed to cover the WH when they are mainly a tabloid. The man is not even in the WH yet, and BTW, Obama has set things up, so the man can’t even move in for a year because of remodeling.

So, why is this his fault?

I’m amazed the Trumps haven’t just relocated to Florida as their residence and stopped paying NY/NYC taxes

The Trump Tower is a condominium. Each apartment is owned by a different billionaire. Among them, they probably employ most of the lawyers in the city.

Seize my property, you say? See you in court!
