犬普他爷弗雷德里克在西雅图红灯区开了一家小店，提供食物、酒和“女士的私人房间
”就是卖淫。
他的发迹是趁著加拿大育空河流域的淘金热潮，在当地开起酒店兼妓院大赚一笔，一个
皮条客。
-------------------------------------
弗雷德里克死时遗留下的地产价值约3万元，相当于今天的50万美元。犬普他爹也不穷
。和所有房地产商一样，狡诈，不诚实，皮厚是发财秘诀。犬普他爹佛瑞德像蟑螂一样
见缝就钻，他拉关系，搞到大量政府建廉价屋的项目，偷工减料克扣工钱，美国政府和
纳税人做冤大头，Trump他爹从政府那里赚到10亿美元。打下Trump家族的基业。在当时
这是天文数字，都是喝纳税人血的。
----------------------------------
犬普生下来就含着银汤匙，是个富二代。智商不佳学习不佳，迟迟毕不了业拖了四次，
此后一共破产6次。但是保不住他家有钱富二代，有第一桶金，他爹在纽约已经占据第
一大地产商位置有人脉有项目，就像现在中国富二代官二代。
------------------------------------
纽约1974年到现在房地产发疯一样涨，平均地产价格上涨超过6000%。犬普从他爹那里
拿到2.5-3.5亿元，不需要什么天才不需要动一根手指，随大流就能翻成200亿，但是
Trump自己吹嘘现有资产却只有40亿左右。
犬普不敢公布税表，破产6次，鬼知道他真有多少钱。希拉里嘲笑犬普不敢公布税表也
许因为钱不如他说那么多。有财经杂志估价他的资产就是30亿到40亿。 你妈的，纽约
房地产翻了6000%，Trump资产50年只增加10倍，还破产6次，这不是个笨蛋是什么。家
里那么有钱，生下来就是纽约第一大地产商。
-------------------------
比较一下：
犬普第一桶金家里财产3亿美元，生在纽约房地产暴增6000%，干了50年，40亿都不一定
有.
王健林，第一桶金求爹爹告奶奶300万贷款，干了25年，2015年资产381亿美元。
犬普天时地利家富用了几倍时间，别说一个零头，他连王健林的零头的一半都没赚到，
可见犬普是个大笨蛋大蠢猪。
美国不会再有纽约升值6000%的狗屎运了，凭犬普的智商情商，凭对贸易经济政治无知
，美国
现在上了漏水贼船和犬普一起沉入大西洋。
说完了，抄起了打狗棍，你们过来咬吧。 | j*********r

Why I Can No Longer Support Hillary Clinton
4 days ago
César Vargas Writer, director, advocate, strategist, cultural critic.
Founder of upliftt.com.
It took me a long time to write this. I had to dig deep into my being to
come up with these words. I’m recanting my endorsement of Hillary Clinton
for the presidency.
I’m aware of how vindictive Clintonians can be. I’m not speaking about the
Clintons themselves, but of those surrounding them.
Perhaps the saying is true: dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres.
Your staff, your donors, your surrogates, and those you surround yourself
with are a reflection of who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any
unacceptable behavior? Silence, indifference, or inaction is as
incriminatory-at least to me.
There has been no repudiation, let alone denunciation, of what was said in
those emails-just denial, finger pointing, and doublespeak. To appoint the
very same folks who carried out many malicious behaviors to tip the scales
for Hillary is just
I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,
by a nefarious usage of identity politics recommended by one of our own, no
less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.
I’m not telling you not to vote for her. I’m aware of what is at stake.
The Supreme Court and a petulant man-child that might quicken the apocalypse
, I know. I’m telling you that I’m no longer endorsing her. Vote with your
conscience. Vote strategically. Or don’t. It’s your prerogative.
I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for you, for my people, for those that don’t have a
voice. But I refuse to be a pawn, a conduit of their oppression, of their
disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the
repercussions before you cast it and never stop holding elected officials
and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.

us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for you, for my people, for those that don’t have a
voice. But I refuse to be a pawn, a conduit of their oppression, of their
disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the
repercussions before you cast it and never stop holding elected officials
and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.
It took me a long time to write this. I had to dig deep into my being to
come up with these words. I’m recanting my endorsement of Hillary Clinton
for the presidency.
I’m aware of how vindictive Clintonians can be. I’m not speaking about the
Clintons themselves, but of those surrounding them. Perhaps the saying is
true: dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres. Your staff, your donors,
your surrogates, and those you surround yourself with are a reflection of
who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any unacceptable behavior?
Silence, indifference, or inaction is as incriminatory-at least to me.
There has been no repudiation, let alone denunciation, of what was said in
those emails-just denial, finger pointing, and doublespeak. To appoint the
very same folks who carried out many malicious behaviors to tip the scales
for Hillary is just
I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,
by a nefarious usage of identity politics recommended by one of our own, no
less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.
I’m not telling you not to vote for her. I’m aware of what is at stake.
The Supreme Court and a petulant man-child that might quicken the apocalypse
, I know. I’m telling you that I’m no longer endorsing her. Vote with your
conscience. Vote strategically. Or don’t. It’s your prerogative.
I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that

and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.
It took me a long time to write this. I had to dig deep into my being to
come up with these words. I’m recanting my endorsement of Hillary Clinton
for the presidency.
I’m aware of how vindictive Clintonians can be. I’m not speaking about the
Clintons themselves, but of those surrounding them. Perhaps the saying is
true: dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres. Your staff, your donors,
your surrogates, and those you surround yourself with are a reflection of
who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any unacceptable behavior?
Silence, indifference, or inaction is as incriminatory-at least to me.
There has been no repudiation, let alone denunciation, of what was said in
those emails-just denial, finger pointing, and doublespeak. To appoint the
very same folks who carried out many malicious behaviors to tip the scales
for Hillary is just
I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,
by a nefarious usage of identity politics recommended by one of our own, no
less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.
I’m not telling you not to vote for her. I’m aware of what is at stake.
The Supreme Court and a petulant man-child that might quicken the apocalypse
, I know. I’m telling you that I’m no longer endorsing her. Vote with your
conscience. Vote strategically. Or don’t. It’s your prerogative.
I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for you, for my people, for those that don’t have a
voice. But I refuse to be a pawn, a conduit of their oppression, of their
disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the

Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any

campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair

I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and

disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the
repercussions before you cast it and never stop holding elected officials
and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.

I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,

who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any unacceptable behavior?
Silence, indifference, or inaction is as incriminatory-at least to me.
There has been no repudiation, let alone denunciation, of what was said in

I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,
by a nefarious usage of identity politics recommended by one of our own, no
less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.
I’m not telling you not to vote for her. I’m aware of what is at stake.
The Supreme Court and a petulant man-child that might quicken the apocalypse
, I know. I’m telling you that I’m no longer endorsing her. Vote with your
conscience. Vote strategically. Or don’t. It’s your prerogative.
I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for you, for my people, for those that don’t have a
voice. But I refuse to be a pawn, a conduit of their oppression, of their
disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the
repercussions before you cast it and never stop holding elected officials
and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.
It took me a long time to write this. I had to dig deep into my being to
come up with these words. I’m recanting my endorsement of Hillary Clinton
for the presidency.

Why I Can No Longer Support Hillary Clinton

less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.
I’m not telling you not to vote for her. I’m aware of what is at stake.
The Supreme Court and a petulant man-child that might quicken the apocalypse
, I know. I’m telling you that I’m no longer endorsing her. Vote with your
conscience. Vote strategically. Or don’t. It’s your prerogative.
I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for you, for my people, for those that don’t have a
voice. But I refuse to be a pawn, a conduit of their oppression, of their
disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the
repercussions before you cast it and never stop holding elected officials
and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.
It took me a long time to write this. I had to dig deep into my being to
come up with these words. I’m recanting my endorsement of Hillary Clinton
for the presidency.
I’m aware of how vindictive Clintonians can be. I’m not speaking about the
Clintons themselves, but of those surrounding them. Perhaps the saying is
true: dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres. Your staff, your donors,
your surrogates, and those you surround yourself with are a reflection of
who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any unacceptable behavior?
Silence, indifference, or inaction is as incriminatory-at least to me.
There has been no repudiation, let alone denunciation, of what was said in
those emails-just denial, finger pointing, and doublespeak. To appoint the
very same folks who carried out many malicious behaviors to tip the scales
for Hillary is just
I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,

who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around

they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that

good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for you, for my people, for those that don’t have a
voice. But I refuse to be a pawn, a conduit of their oppression, of their
disenfranchisement, of their brutalization, of their exploitation, of their
lives and deaths. That’s what a Hillary Clinton endorsement means to me.
You may vote for whomever you wish. Or don’t. But please, think of the
repercussions before you cast it and never stop holding elected officials
and their water-bearers accountable for how they’ve treated, treat, and
will continue to treat you and me.

I’m aware of how vindictive Clintonians can be. I’m not speaking about the
Clintons themselves, but of those surrounding them. Perhaps the saying is

your surrogates, and those you surround yourself with are a reflection of
who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any unacceptable behavior?
Silence, indifference, or inaction is as incriminatory-at least to me.

I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,
by a nefarious usage of identity politics recommended by one of our own, no
less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.

Clintons themselves, but of those surrounding them. Perhaps the saying is
true: dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres. Your staff, your donors,
your surrogates, and those you surround yourself with are a reflection of
who you truly are, no? If not, why not curb any unacceptable behavior?
Silence, indifference, or inaction is as incriminatory-at least to me.
There has been no repudiation, let alone denunciation, of what was said in
those emails-just denial, finger pointing, and doublespeak. To appoint the
very same folks who carried out many malicious behaviors to tip the scales
for Hillary is just
I rebuke with my heart, mind, and soul all the twisted narratives of sexism,
misogyny, racism, and classism lay at our feet. Though some of them are
legitimate, most were used to derail valid grievances from our communities
and completely erase us. Our voices were drowned out by empty accusations,
by a nefarious usage of identity politics recommended by one of our own, no
less. That is a bamboozling of POC and unsuspecting allies. This is why
Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve our vote, among many other reasons.
Many of us have been groundlessly accused of being politically illiterate,
of having a conscience, and of being idealistic for expecting fairness. As
if caring about our fellow human beings and we was such a bad thing. Without
our love for others, without empathy, we are nothing but empty vessels,
carcasses without souls, worthy of none of the things we cherish the most.
Fairness is ingrained in our brains. If you don’t really care much for it
then you might just be a psychopath or a made sociopath. There’s no going
around that. Are you one? I hope not.
Bernie Sanders was treated horribly by the DNC, the Clinton crew, and the
Obama administration, and by proxy, many of us were also stung. Without any
apologies. In fact, we received nothing but contempt from the Clinton
campaign and her surrogates. Then they expected us to fall in formation.
Many of us did. I said I would endorse Hillary if she won the primary fair
and square. And I did, but that was before I got a hold of all the highly
unethical things that happened to get her to win.
I’m not telling you not to vote for her. I’m aware of what is at stake.
The Supreme Court and a petulant man-child that might quicken the apocalypse
, I know. I’m telling you that I’m no longer endorsing her. Vote with your
conscience. Vote strategically. Or don’t. It’s your prerogative.
I’ve seen how our heroes, activists, journalists, and celebrities have
completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of
morality would do. I’ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates
who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around
us. It’s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like
they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that
it brings them. I am not one of those and I won’t continue to be until the
good Lord takes me.
Yes, I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am defeated, but I will rise and
continue to advocate for y | c*******o
