Have you read the news about GM motors, the airplane in Canada, the investment of oil companies in green energy?

It seems the the world is eventually going to go green whether we like it or not.
Of course they are getting subsidies and making a profit.
The left is the one pushing for end to fossil fuels. I wont rehash my questions about climate change. All I do know is that the scientists who came up with the 'hockey stick' have never come up with the data set they used,

James McIntyre has very detailed back and forth with the global warmimg scientists

......... Then, the people, those woke libby people who are willing to go and march in Whitehall tomorrow will say to themselves, "why are we buying China making them rich because it is cheap, when we could pay a little more, much more - if we truly love this earth we are claiming we want to save - just make our own tink and buy our own ting and sell our own ting and make ourselves rich instead of giving our money to China?

And then will they minister to themselves to employ one another to make their own ting and sell their own ting and trade their own ting amongst their selves and make themselves wealth and riches.

Made in Britain after all. By the Order of the Garter.
Point is clean energy from hydro and nuclear is pretty reliable. The clean from green like solar, wind and tidal can never be relied upon . A Tesla has a 100KW battery which is equivalent to 300-400 panels , sunlight 5 hours a day around $140K. .

EU, WEF and COP26 are all after getting rid of oil. Where is this climate emergency? When China and India are massively adding coal plants to their grids.
When Europe n Murica go green, the govt will have to subsidize a lot. In other words a lot more become dependent on the govt.Such that you can be denied food if you do not get 10th Covid booster.


This climate change is a big hoax.African countries should play along get enough money from the west and strengthen food security first.

So after typing PPI, Microsoft changed it to CPI for you? A search of your moniker with CPI shows you have never typed CPI in your life on this forum for Microsoft to predict anything for you. Just say the concept is new to you than blaming Bill Gates as usual. Bill Gates gave you Covid, and also made you misspell PPI. Odiegwu!

ibime and budaatum heating their water like this
I mean These guys are on what mission. Their end game is to go green and in the process a lot of people will suffer, A new EV car say around 40 grand subsidized and there is no energy to charge it.
Winter here and they are shutting down energy sources.
Meanwhile China is planning on adding 9 Gw of coal power this year and plans to continue adding more till 2026
In other words China will be the cheapest manufacturer of anything ( power n labour) . the rest of the world gets squashed by IMF and WB when they dont start being serious about getting rid of fossil fuels and coal.
WEF might come to Nigeria and demand no more oil production else We get thrown out of the SWIFT system

These globalists met their match in Trump and thats why they did everything to get rid of him.,

Sadly the republicans always play nice. but I believe the precedence the Dems have set may come to bite them.

circling back to Cuomo, She never prosecuted. it was some kind of conspiracy to keep him out of Presidential Politics, either as a Replacement for Biden or Kamala.

you know he was the champion back then with his covid crap. he got so popular that they have to take him out.
Ben
Cuomo was popular with covid because he was following the science and lambasting Trump at every opportunity. He made two blunders though

Accused the Federal govt of not doing enough to help with shortage of hospital beds and ventilators... He was sent a 1500 bed arny ship. They did not send more than a 200 people to the ship which means he was just blowing hot air. At one time they sent a Covid positive patient to the Ship, the ship was supposed to take in the inpatients without covid to release more hospital beds for those with covid.

Elderly Peoples Homes. Cuomo directed that those who had been treated and recovering from covid to be returned to the Home cares. A lot of vulnerable elderly people ended up getting infected abd dying in the care givers which did not have the requisite facilties for isolations. When the numbers were demanded Cuomo fudged the number of deaths in Home Cares from Covid, Initially it was so refreshing for them to trot out the Covid cases because it made Trump look bad.

Cuomo should have been surchaged. I think God sent this AG to get rid of Cuomo and Fredo.
Demoncrats are just evil people.

If the judge asks her who the victims are what will she say? The banks got their money back with interest. They did their own due diligence by sending their experts.

This AG went for Cuomo when she wanted to run for governor. Else, she would not have cared.
There is a well cordinated Left wing group that publishes the Lawfare Blog . These founders are as

Robert Chesney Francis Professor in Law, University of Texas School of Law
Jack Goldsmith Learned Hand Professor, Harvard Law School Senior Fellow, The Hoover Institution
Benjamin Wittes Senior Fellow in Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution

This blog has a pervesion of taking down Trump and his supporters. For instance The Brookings Instition was where Fiona Hill (star Impeachment witness) introduced Danchenko ( the source of the pee* tape) to Chris Steele. Add that to DNC lawfirm Perkins Coie. A partner split up - Marc Elias who waged legal battle in most states to adopt mail in voting and drop boxes during 2020 elections. Durham has mentioned him wrt to the Spygate, Some notable Brookings institute scholars include Janet Yellen current Treasury Secretary; Anywa you will find a number of their scholars served Obama and now serve Joe Biden.

These are the brains behind all these lawsuits and investigations targeting Trump and his supporters
If you remember Pelosi on becoming the speaker immediately tabled a bill thousands of pages in the house. Of course she had not read it and did not write it Its these thinktanks and lobby groups that drive the legal agenda.

Trump failed to realise how many enemies were after his scalp, trusting these corrupt globalists to assist him in driving his agenda.

Talk about who had been demonising others? What an irony. The MAGA movement just like most other nationalist movements is predicated on hatred. Hatred of Mexicans, immigrants, Muslims, blacks, leftists, the press, pro abortionists, globalists, anyone not sharing their views or ideas. Without appeal to hate, the MAGA movement would be dead.



Lack of exposure? Me or you? I am in the construction industry. No property can be valued at 1000% its general estimation value. Estate valuers input sentimental value when making appraisals, they can never be that off the mark.

What's you experience in the property market that you think Mar a lago can be valued over 700 million?
Ex Illumninati I really dont know who feeds you garbage. Trump swore to put the national interest first, the globalists do not want that. They were taunting him about returning jobs back home as though its a bad thing. About borders he stemmed the flow of illegal aliens which Biden did away with Day one and now there are 5m new people. what nation can survive such an incursion of people who for a good part will be a drain on the govt coffers. For hatred racism is everywhere Dont think that in Europe they talk to you nicely . Given a choice they would kick every non white person out. Japan ... probably dish out 10 citizenship per year.There are obviously crazies but that dont represent the population and the media has been on a war smearing the conservatives. Conservatives are happy with the way its been, they have allowed many accomodations but the left pushes boundaries bordering on insanity, Why should someone be fired for calling a boy a boy for instance?

As for property value Did Trump get a loan of Mar a Lago ona valuation of 700m? Again if it was a bank loaning him money, how does it affect Letitia Considering that Trump will repay the loan. The bank sends appraisers and experienced ones should instantly know that this not the correct value. No property has fixed value. Are the banks who lent him money complaining?
IRS has been auditing his every crevice for the last 6 years, they have come up short. Instead these pesky leftists demand documents from a going concern to look for a crime. If thats the way investigations are run then we have a broken down justice ssytem. First imagine that a crime was committed, then go look for evidence. Who does that when say IRS has not raised a flag.


https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2022/08/09/how-much-has-trump-made-from-mar-a-lago-his-palm-beach-estate-under-siege/?sh=3fcf675e5bed

That $500 million figure, absurd at the time that the Trump Organization proposed it, suddenly became somewhat reasonable. Real estate experts outside of Palm Beach guessed that the place was worth more than $200 million. Brokers on the island thought it could be worth far more, with the most aggressive estimate coming in at $725 million. When Forbes last valued the property in March, we went with a conservative $350 million. If Trump sold Mar-A-Lago for that amount, he’d reap a 35 times return on his original $10 million investment, making it one of the best deals of his career.

Agreed there are sentimental value to properties, but 1000% is extra ordinary.
Trump is not the only celebrity that buys and sell properties and his MAGA cult worshippers can never afford to lodge in any of his properties not to talk of buying on, as most are poor disgruntled semi educated blue colour workers.

Besides, that does not explain the over exaggeration of the living spaces.
I have been talking about sentimental value of a property or rather the brand name behind it. You accuse Trump supporters of being poor and cannot afford a good life. This kind of reasoning is childish and dishonest at best.. Thats how Hitler started demonizing particular races and to him they were expendable. You can see Joe Biden calling MAGA supporters who come waving patriotic flags as the worst Domestic Violence extremists.

Maybe its due to lack of exposure that you uttered so Or its because they did not vote for Obama or maybe you never ever bought any property besides a jalopy. A simple case. If Christian Ronaldo and Samuel Eto’o sold their Buggatis which would fetch a higher price ?

So, GSA officials took undeclassified documents to dump's house without him first checking whether they were declassified or not?

Those GSA officials must have been hired by Obama then, to stitch dump up, so I guess he has a defence. I just wonder why he hasn't said so yet, and is instead claiming he declassified them in his head.

Is it because he has not yet hired you to be his lawyer, I wonder.
Let's see what happens.All I know is that the Biden admin is corrupt to the core, Is deathly afraid of Trump running in 2024 and will do anything to stop that
Whether it's allowing aliens to vote, Joe admin will do that

As for Trump He has been treated horribly by even his fellow GOPe.

You are the only one who does not know. Most of us know that when you declassify classified documents, the least you'd do is erase or cross out "CLASSIFIED" and replace it with DECLASSIFIED. In fact, you can very simply just add "DE" in front of the "CLASSIFIED" and say you declassified, though the actual process is more elaborate than all that as I've presented for you to read already.

Now, show us the document and let's check if the "DE" is there please.
Playing smart. Did Trump go through all those boxes when they were being packed.I read that GSA officials loaded up the documents

Lol. You do understand the NY AG's office looks over probably the center of the World's finance system (Wall St). So she probably has some of the TOP appraisers at her disposal in order to hold BIG NY firms accountable. One clear instance: He listed his apartment at 30,000 sq ft. It was only 10,000 sq ft. Sq footage is not a subjective valuation. And then said his house was worth 300 million. No apartment in NY has ever sold for close to that much in that time frame. I think the most was 100million.
I've listened to Trump many years ago bragging how his name alone is worth $$$.
I've seen many building valuations, from the Quantity Surveyor to the Land Economists. The actual cost of a similar building is factored in, next the current cost to put up a similar building, then the recent land prices in the surrounding areas.
Add in Sentimental values which braggadocio Trump claims.
About the size of his apartment I leave that to him to explain.At this point I believe it's a witchunt

I ask a very simple question. If the Trump Tower is renamed Joe Biden tower would it's value change?

---Trump is so highly intelligent that he used---Secret Telepathic Unilateral Preemptive Irreversible Declassification (S.T.U.P.I.D.) defense to declassify the documents---
Just asking . Trump tasked Bill Barr to declass documents relating to Spygate and Clinton Email Espionage. What we dont know is whether those documents that he took away were documents that Barr gave him as already declassified.
Right now he is not on good terms with Barr ( Trump has a temper tantrum I know which is not good) so it depends on Bill Barr

---in all of Trump's outstanding cases this is the one he's got the most difficulty of digging himself out of---It's very straightforward to prove that an asset has been deliberately overvalued and misrepresented--- it's not the difference of opinion that his defence relies on for everything else---this particular case started when Michael Cohen, was indicted---
How does one determine its over valued? A ptoperty next to a mine can be very expensive compared to another similar property ,

She is sort of passing a Guilty verdict before there is any trial underway. Using irrevelant phrases 'Art of the Steal" "The Fraudulent Statements of Financial Condition" etc

You must remove TDS to see that her whole speech was completely negative. In say a murder case police usually use suspect not murderer

Mumu, banks value your property by the documents you show them... they do their own appraisal to value the property so they can know the kind of loan to issue out.

try to keep up.

If Toyota sells a car for 5k, a dealer can sell it to me for 10 and give me the documents for it. me taking the document to the bank is not enough. they will do their own research to know how much the car is valued. they can find out if it is valued at 5k or less. so what you present is not taken at face value.
Same thing to insurance companies. They inspect vehicles or properties before handing out the policy. How stuopid were these companies to not do their due diligence. What hurts L James I think is that he is not in default.

The documents turned over by his long time accounting firm (before they jumped ship) contain everything down to his falsified documents. It’s a known fact that they will cooperate in order to avoid any legal woes.
Banks have their own appraisers . They will never give you a loan without them evaluating the value of security offered.
Thats too hard for you to understand.
Trump buildings were appraised then he added a Premium based on his brand value , which is never constant . To explain when he is going through a divorce the brand vaue drops, When he hosting Mike Tyson fight in his former Taj Mahal casino his brand value goes up.

Many DAs and Prosecutors use the threat of bankrupting someone so that you take a plea deal , which adds to the prosecutors wonderful or rather successful conviction rates. Prosecutors are after having a 100% conviction record which aids in their vertical mobility within the justice system
