OK Pot?

Obama isnt on the ballot, nor the topic of the thread. but if you want to discuss him, then you guys need to figure out if Obama was successful, or had all of his policies blocked by the GOP.

Whether or not this is true, something doesn't add up. He's had many construction projects over many years and he's been a well known person for many years. If he's known for not paying his contractors, why are contractors continuing to bid on his projects? Surely they wouldn't take work, where they would not get paid. Would you take a job from someone who is known not to pay?

Who says Trump kept using the same contractors? Maybe you need to check your numbers before you start adding.

He hires people for Mar-a-lago because he owns that. If you read the links, you would see who is suing.

Why don't you quote the part where I said he kept using the same contractors? Oh yeah, you can't, because I didn't.

I guess you think every contractor in a large metro like South Florida knows each other and hang out to share business secrets. They don't. They are each other's competition. They would actually benefit if Trump doesn't pay other contractors and makes them go out of businesses. Less competition.

I stand by what I said. Owners of similar businesses are often friends or acquaintances of their competitors and speak to each other regularly. I have family who owned construction businesses. They were good friends with competitors and spoke to them at least weekly. If one of them didn't get paid, word would spread fast though many circles, especially if it was the norm.

The business I am in now is the same, except for it's not bound by geography. I've networked with people from all over the country. A group of us have even met in person. The exchange of information between competitors helps everyone's business.

Default Biggest political story of the day CNN posts anti-Trump stories

With Hillary Clinton being cleared, as expected by AG Loretta. No surprises. Ryan, the speaker of the house issues statement that no one should be above the law yet CNN frontpage posts anti-Trump story about the fall of his Taj Mahal.

What a joke CNN has become, a Hillary News Network.
