QUOTE Nice chunk of real estate they have, Trump could develope it very nicely. Wilson & Company's roots date back to that very piece of property on the banks of Manhattan's East River, land that is now occupied by the United Nations Building.
QUOTE Yeah, the UN, it would be a wonderful idea to defund the UN, better yet, withdraw from. We put up a full 20% of their budget, other voting countries with great influence don't pull their share if any.
By U.N. charter wealthier nations, based principally on per capita income, are asked to pay larger shares of the budget than poorer nations.
No worries, the new kleptocracy takes office in 19 days, we'll be well on our way to a third world economy..the once great United States will be a Banana Republic..

A banana republic would be a step up from where we're headed, namely a divided nation of twits and morons that wave the flags of their particular party, believing that their side is righteous and correct, and has all the answers. Both sides are rife with corruption, and do nothing to serve the People, and everything to coddle oligarchs and plutocrats, a group Hell-bent on hoarding as much capital as it takes in order to insulate themselves from the coming crapstorm.
We used to make having that much power and influence come with a heavy price, namely reinvesting in the country that made you rich in the first place. But not anymore. Self-serving, easily-influenced criminals with names like Reagan and Bush and Clinton sold us down the river.
But judgement is coming. The blood of the rich will run in the streets, and the Chinese will sweep in and pick up the pieces. And the FOXNews crowd will somehow blame all this on the poor, as the Capitol burns.
