    Well, Amazon is spending about 300 million dollars for a new distribution
    center just outside of Syracuse, NY. This will bring about 8 hundred of jobs to CNY
    In addition, small business will expand, increase nearby.

    They are building on a former golf course - I would say property taxes will
    bring in a tidy sum for local taxes, including the school district.

    And to think - AOC vetoed this for NY City!
    Thank you AOC (Can I call you AC now?)

    Everybody is making money off of Trump, who was the first to point it out. Right as usual. :Thumbsup :Wink

    AND I would say that virtually would enjoy profiteering.

    Hmm- second thought - no - some dont want to work for profit
    they just work hard at getting people to give them money.

    Yep, but that’s just insulting, and looks like he’s fooling even the likes of you. “Likes profiteering”? No doubt he is the one financing all that grotesque paraphernalia to the helpless, hapless TDS obsessed to further fan the flames and fuel the divide. And he surely has Gates, Slim, and Bezos, Soros, Bloomberg, and Buffet, indeed all of the globalists and wannabes, in his pocket and pulling the purse strings wrapped around his little finger.

    No wonder the leaders of China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and all the other little country minions represented in the UN, or not, grovel at his feet, while Nancy, Chuck, and Schiff, Bernie, Hillary, and Obama, and their cohorts, not to mention AOC and her ilk and all the MSM (but just did), are forced to mouth the words he voices.

    They all know he completely controls their income and estates, takes a huge cut of every business on Wall Street, owns the Fed and the IRS, all the gold in California, oil around the world, and the mineral rights to Mars and the Moon. The whole world has gone after him, bows to him. The Don is the Puppet Master, The BORG—Resistance is Futile.

    (The foregoing “analysis” is a strictly facetious “opinion” not meant to reflect reality—even where it may—AKA Sarcasm.)

    Frankly I view him as a big fat distraction to running the country as a capitalist society IE a center stage clown posing as a leader. He is to dumb to do anything else. So that’s his value which is insane. Look at where our country is now, in a freakin ditch. So what’s next, flood, famine, war, race riots, economics falling off a cliff. What’s Captain Chaos next act?

    The main problem is that that opinion lacks real perspective. Sensationalist rhetoric and nonsensical assignations aside, Trump compared to whom? To Hillary? To Obama? To Biden? No. To an imaginary entity, to something realistically unavailable, as if some youthful idealism is overriding common sense.

    The case cannot be made that Hillary, the only other choice last election, would have been better. The case cannot be made that Biden, or whatever Dem is offered, would be a better choice now.

    Honest to God, now why do you feel compelled to compare him to anyone? He is the most unique freak that has ever blackened the presidency, so why keep this blunder ape around for another 4 years... because he is a distraction correct.

    But to be realistic in my review of this guy, performance results are the only thing that our country should be evaluating... so where is the US economy right now? Dropping like a rock, Historical depression like Unemployment numbers, companies going belly up, 100,000 dead from Covid 19... blah, blah,blah. Bad report card Trump. Time for a replacement. You are fired looser.

    Hmmm. Why compare? Well, it's quite simple really, and has nothing to do with feelings. Elections are choice, comparison a necessary tool. To claim otherwise is to spout idiocy.

    TDS seems to box in those obsessed preventing realistic assessment. There is no good case to be made for the Dems or any replacement they would offer, so the challenge must be avoided.

    Performance matters, but performance compared to whom, under what conditions?

    It's obvious that the Communist Chinese, not Trump, unleashed the disastrous virus on the world. They continue to lie and deceive about it, and get a lot of help from those who hate Trump, or love money, or both, such as the Dems and RINOs.

    The Dems are the only actually available alternative to Trump, but they would help the US "improve democracy" much like the Communist Chinese are helping Hong Kong. No thanks.

    According to Gov Cuomo of NY - the Virus did NOT come from China. It came from Europe, now Cuomo did say that the virus went from China to Europe - so thats why it did not come from China!.

    And New Yorkers voted for this dictator.

    Profits are everything... king profits are my bread and butter! And •Yes* I don’t like Trump, he never did anything for me but raise my taxes... thus killing my profits. So tell me why should I like him. Instead he should be fired so they put in someone that I can profit from.

    Take a look at his tax plan for NJ. Actually a portion of this plan takes the profits from NJ and redistributes to other states like yours. Check it out.

    Nah, I assumed you were knowledgeable enough to give a synopsis of how Trump has stopped you from making money by raising your taxes. All I've known him to do since taking office is CUT taxes.
