In one of the more revealing acts of his second term, President Donald Trump has turned the exterior of the White House into a vehicle for grievance. The Trump White House has installed a series of new plaques along what it calls the “Presidential Walk...

In 1993, Trump signed mortgages for 2 homes in Florida, claiming each as his principal residence.
He does not appear to have ever lived in either, let alone used them as a principal residence. They were investment properties & rented out.
Yet he accuses others of fraud?

Good piece about some very bad editorials, which I find more depressing than enraging. They have no apparent audience (besides Bezos) and lack basic fluency in the legal concepts they discuss. Both asinine and utterly pointless. Can someone who understands the law at least write them?
It is hard to overstate how shallow and embarrassing the Washington Post Editorial Board's analysis is whenver it tries to write about the law. They don't make arguments so much as they crank out half-assed jumbles of buzzwords that they hope will make Jeff Bezos happy. Don't care for it at all!
The Washington Post Editorial Board Is Spectacularly Awful at Legal Analysis
Since Bezos overhauled the board earlier this year, it has been very good at cranking out billionaire-friendly propaganda. It is quite bad at everything else.

If you go to the supermarket you will find that the prices never go down
That's because this handful of corporations not only supplies almost everything in the supermarket, they also own controlling shares in the supermarkets too
Doesn't matter if it's New York, London or Tokyo

The National Grid (which is Australian) is making £1.5bn a year profit from you and increasing by 12% per year.
£55 of your Energy Bill goes straight to them in profit.
Aren't we lucky it was privatised?

50 yr mtg on a $500k house at 6.5%: Monthly payment $2,742. Sounds good? You’ll pay $1,145,200 in interest - over 3X the home’s value. After 30 years of payments, you STILL owe $291,000. This isn’t homeownership, it’s financial slavery. Predatory lending disguised as “affordability.“

He's been on Question Time once.
