108. Donald Trump and the mob

by Chris Frates

Donald Trump's glittering empire of New York skyscrapers and Atlantic City casinos have long had a darker side, allegations that the mob helped build them. Trump's alleged ties to New York and Philadelphia crime families go back decades and have been recounted in a book, newspapers and government records. "The mob connections of Donald are extraordinarily extensive," New York investigative journalist Wayne Barrett told CNN in an interview. Barrett, the author of the 1992 unauthorized biography "Trump: The Deals and the Downfall," wrote that Trump's life "intertwines with the underworld."

-snip-

"There was a certain amount of mob association during which the father and he were building, which was very difficult to avoid in the New York construction world," Barrett said, adding, "He went out of his way not to avoid them, but to increase them."

In a recent Federalist article, David Marcus writes that Trump bought the property that his Atlantic City casino Trump Plaza would one day occupy -- for twice market price -- from Salvatore Testa, a Philly mobster and son of one-time Philly mob boss Philip "Chicken Man" Testa. (Springsteen fans might recognize the elder Testa from the opening lines of the song, Atlantic City.)

In his book, Barrett writes that Testa and a partner, who together headed a Philly mafia hit-squad called the Young Executioners, bought the property for "a scant $195,000" in 1977. In 1982, Trump paid $1.1 million for it.

120. Crazy shyt….but, I know it's true.

Someone I was close with for many years had deep ties in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. His grandfather was called 'The Gentle Don' and was gunned down.

[Funtatlaguy]

28. Why hasn't Hillarys PAC made a commercial

111. and there's ALSO this ...

Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway called his supporters: "downright nasty" & "skeeze"

Saturday Sep 10, 2016

You can't make this up.

Donald Trump’s own campaign manager agrees that his supporters are a “basket of deplorables”.

Kellyanne Conway, who worked for Ted Cruz, called Trump’s supporters “downright nasty” and above their "skeeze" on the John Gambling show in February.

She starts trashing Trump’s supporters at 26 minutes into the interview. Please listen below. She even referenced how his supporters use the “Canadian Ted” birther attack.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA — trademark bubbanomics

‘Who’s (Trump) supporters, by the way, have been downright nasty to everyone else.'

114. We're trying to counter the Trump supporters with something they understand

Got a My Space link?

Stormfront?

[napkinz]

115. "We're trying to counter the Trump supporters with something they understand"

My Space

good one!

[blm]

116. LOLOLOL!!!!!

[napkinz]

117. I think the Deplorables have moved on from My Space to

My Race

[blm]

118. you and underpants are killing me today

.

[napkinz]

119. well Trump and his supporters make it easy

everything they say and do just lends itself to justified mockery

[Beartracks]

70. In that shot of him in cuffs... is he holding his tax returns??

=================

[Moonwalk]

74. Isn't he already wearing the orange outfit?

See? We all wondered why he was orange. He's been prepared to go to prison for years.

[napkinz]

82. it's a nice match (the hair, the skin, the outfit)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. So, basically it's a slush fund/money launderer?

That's my take from it.

[ffr]

35. Done right under law enforcement's noses, b/c they know they can get away with it.

Flaunting money laundering. Above the law.

LOCK HIM UP. LOCK THEM ALL UP!

[Iliyah]

3. Uh oh, WPo's credentials will be revoked, again.

[senseandsensibility]

5. Thanks for posting. This is even getting coverage on cable

but not in the detail of the article, unfortunately. Better than nothing, I guess.

[napkinz]

17. to borrow from Bernie, ENOUGH with the damn Emails and the bogus "health issues"

Time for the media to do their job and go after Trump with the same tenacity they have gone after Hillary.

[BSdetect]

6. Its just hysterically funny that he roams freely today

You have to laugh about his antics. What a prankster.

Headed for disaster.

Why is he not a convicted felon right now?

[vadermike]

7. Ok

But how much coverage will this get one day or does this have legs ?

[napkinz]

42. CNN is now covering it. Waiting to see if MSNBC picks up the story.

[BigDemVoter]

67. I am SHOCKED that CNN is covering it.

Usually, CNN is more worried about whether Hillary was filing her nails or taking a whizz while e-mailing.

[C_U_L8R]

8. I need a picture of this six foot painting of Trump

That's social media gold befitting an overly gilt buffoon like The Donald

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. ....heh......

[angrychair]

24. Took me a second

Got the Ghostbusters imagery now. LOL....

[tclambert]

27. Dono the Carpathian. Who ya gonna call?

[napkinz]

43. ...

[annabanana]

36. Actually worse than that:

[napkinz]

44. ...

[catbyte]

47. Ew

[Sanity Claws]

56. He looks like a preppie circa 1970.

It looks much younger than he was when the painting was made.
Doesn't it make him look like someone named Biff who dates a girl named Buffy?

[napkinz]

59. right out of Love Story

Trump: "Hate Never Means Having To Say You're Sorry"

[Missn-Hitch]

79. Behold! I say unto you,

under broken clouds the coming of the Lord is upon you. My servant will be wearing white, satin trousers.

Two Corinthians Chapter 14 Verse 1,2

[Portland_Anni]

89. I can't believe how bad a painting this is.

I mean, it was already a badly done work, but the subject matter is a kiss of death for it. No doubt about it.

[MaeScott]

95. Damn.

[niyad]

96. dear goddess, tell me that isn't the actual painting!! that is so creepy on several levels

[annabanana]

97. yup . . . purchased with Trump Foundation monies

charity my ass

[niyad]

98. money laundering scheme, apparently.

[vadermike]

10. How much play

Will this really get tho ? I hope a lot But my faith in the media is all time low

[napkinz]

21. I hope Hillary's surrogates jump on this.

[get the red out]

38. I feel the same

Over and over Trump's scams are uncovered one after another and the media doesn't care at all! I am completely disgusted.

[uponit7771]

11. but but ...email !!!!

[napkinz]

48. your forgot ...

[uponit7771]

60. lol

[napkinz]

61. :)

[democrattotheend]

12. I really hope this gets the attention it deserves

The media spent so much time on the Clinton Foundation despite no evidence of corruption. If this goes silent we will know we no longer have a free press.

[napkinz]

49. ...

[The Wielding Truth]

78. What!! Right on the nose. Trump is a big ol' crook!

[napkinz]

99. CROOKED, CORRUPT DONALD!

[Doctor Jack]

13. Yeah but at the same time, Hillary does have a minor cough

[The Wielding Truth]

104. Give me Hillary any doodle day in any doodle way over THE DONCON.

[napkinz]

105. ...

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. WAAAAALLLL!!!! See? By shouting that it magically allows me to ignore anything you just posted.

[vadermike]

16. OK

This might have legs MSNBs taking about it CNN just got ahold of it Yippee!

[napkinz]

50. CNN covering it too now!

[angrychair]

23. I know this is s little off topic

Who the fuck has a 6-foot tall painting of themselves made and pays $20,000 for it?
Who has a painting of themselves made?
IMHO, there is something odd about having pictures of yourself hanging all over your home.
tRump has a picture of himself, alone, hanging over his main fireplace mantle. A married man with several kids...

If you have seen pics of Ben Carson's house, it's the same. Ben even has a picture of himself with Jesus.

The egomaniacal perspective with people like this is fascinating and bizarre.

[YOHABLO]

33. "Who has a painting of themselves made?" People in love with themselves.

[napkinz]

51. "Who has a painting of themselves made?"

[Moonwalk]

75. A lot of people used to have expensive paintings of themselves in their homes....

...They were called "Royalty."

Also "aristocrats" and the filthy rich who want to be just like aristocrats. See also: "Robber Barons," "Tycoons," and "Old Money."

[SunSeeker]

26. K & R for exposure.

[world wide wally]

29. This is one mothefucker (for lack of a better word) that really does belong behind bars.

[napkinz]

55. agreed!

[Skidmore]

30. Steve Cortes on MSNBC blaming all on

"clerical error." I worked for years in positions where I was responsible for tracking expenditures on projects. It's cowardly and blames the little people for decisions made at the top. If it was an entry, someone above approved it.

[rivegauche]

31. And STILL. It won't make a difference.

His moronic followers just don't care how despicable, corrupt, stupid and ugly he is.

[Matthew28]

40. Yep,

He has a +40 with male uneducated voters. The fact that they're uneducated tells you that they never much cared about evidence, facts or being honest.

[napkinz]

57. it will with moderate suburban voters

[Vogon_Glory]

32. That scraping sound you hear in the background is the sound of

That scraping sound you hear in the background is the sound of shoe-leather being dragged across the floor as the suits in the executive offices and senior editors of America's lazy-@$$ lame-stream corporate "news" media is forced to turn away from its Drudge Report and right-wing propaganda feeds and pay attention to a real developing scandal--the Trump Foundation's spending patterns and its ties to the Florida Republican Party.

Kudos to the Post for find a little backbone; raspberries, cat-calls and rotten tomatos to the quivering jellyfish in the broadcast media who are hoping with Trump that this story will go away.

[greymattermom]

34. Just call it free stuff

Or other dog whistle terms. Spending other people's money.

[Kablooie]

37. don't get too excited.

This will be ignored like every other Trump scandal.
The reason being that it's just Trump being Trump.
Illegal slime maneuvers are what the right wants in their candidate.

[napkinz]

58. CNN covered it this afternoon.

I'm hoping Rachel and Lawrence cover it tonight.

I'll be watching to see if Tweety discusses the story.

[Kablooie]

62. Unless Fox covers it there will be no consequences for Trump.

They don't watch anything else.

[napkinz]

63. You know, even if FOX covered this story it wouldn't make a difference to Trump's supporters.

[Matthew28]

39. Wheres the media?

Oh'yesss, attacking Hillary for getting sick and stating the obvious. The double standard is sad.

[napkinz]

65. yep, it's pathetic

[Eleanors38]

41. How GOPers avoid corruption investigations...

From the September 8, 2016 issue of the Tampa Bay Times, an editorial

Editorial: Feds should investigate Bondi-Trump connection

"[Bondi's] Sticking to friendly national media outlets and avoiding Florida journalists is not the strategy of a statewide elected official with nothing to hide."

This quote serves to illustrate how all local politics has become national. Bondi makes her case of being a persecuted female, "bullied" by Clinton, to national level outlets because there still remains something of mass media's ability to legitimize and annoint stories worthy of national coverage, and Bondi and others now go to these "friendly national media outlets." They are viewed among GOPers as more than competitive with the weakened usual suspects (WaPo, NYT, LAT, AP, CBS, CNN, ABC, etc.), who in turn have and will ontinue to suffer 24-7 attacks on its "liberal" bias. The national media will mumble something about Bondi and Trump diploma mills, but they won't stick there junk out any further than necessary when the Right's "friendly media outlets" have compromised (in advance, it seems) the old MSM power to set a national agenda.

Don't expect any Bondi/tRump corruption charges to go anywhere.

[catbyte]

45. Who cares? Hillary didn't tell the press she had pneumonia and left the press corps in the

dark for 90 whole minutes after she left the 9/11 ceremony. That's MUCH more important than any little hiccup at the Trump Foundation!

[napkinz]

66. let me join you ...

[sellitman]

46. Bizarro world.

This guy is as dirty as they come yet nearly half the country will vote for him as president. Astounding! We have to be the worlds laughingstock.

[Motley13]

52. more portraits of the maggot

[napkinz]

69. from their collection, I've posted this one before on DU:

[napkinz]

64. Tweety covering the scandal now on Hardball

[doc03]

77. Fox News is stuck on Hillary's health, nobody watches MSNBC but a few Democrats

anyway. I watched Fox a few minutes this afternoon according to them Democrats are in a panic on who to replace her with.

[napkinz]

92. of course FOX is "stuck on Hillary's health"

It's a Republican propaganda outlet.

If your viewing of FOX News lasts more than four minutes, consult your doctor

[doc03]

100. I don't think I have ever exceeded 4 minutes unless I am trapped

and don't have a choice.

[napkinz]

102. "unless I am trapped and don't have a choice"

Like being in the waiting room of a doctor's office with FOX News playing on the TV.

So you wouldn't have far to go to "consult your doctor"

(but then any doctor who has FOX News on in their waiting room is probably a doctor one might want to consider no longer using)

[doc03]

103. The gym I go to filled with racist assholes and fundies and owned by

the Catholic church.

[napkinz]

126. can you find another gym?

I would think it would be difficult to get a good workout in that kind of environment.

[doc03]

127. It's in West Virginia, it would be pretty much the same any place

around here.

[lupinella]

68. K&R n/t

[napkinz]

71. Lawrence O'Donnell is going to cover the scandal tonight

[niyad]

73. the only thing that surprises me is the wapo actually doing something rese,bling journalism.

[bmstee01]

76. Is what he probably did illegal?

If so will charges be filed? If so how soon?

[Missn-Hitch]

80. It won't matter, he could shoot someone.

The orange menace can do no wrong. I do mean this when it comes to his supporters. Imagine what would happen if charges were filed. We are heading for trouble. Very, very sad to say.

[drm604]

81. Anyone notice the incident about the TV contest mentioned about halfway down the article.

Trump appeared on a TV contest called Trump Pays Your Bills. The winners bills were paid... by the Trump foundation which, as mentioned earlier, consists mostly of donations from people other than Trump.

[BlueMTexpat]

83. It appears that all of his B***S***

about the Clinton Foundation was typical GOPer projection.

[napkinz]

91. Trump calling Hillary a bigot; Trump saying Hillary is running a campaign of hate; Trump saying

Hillary has disqualified herself.

That's classic projection.

[Tikki]

107. Also, those with 'border personality disorder'..

Scary...

Tikki

[oasis]

84. Kick

[EV_Ares]

85. Where the fuck is the very same media that has been harping on the Clinton Foundation?

[Cobalt Violet]

87. Busy trying desperately to try making Hillary's pneumonia into a scandal.

They're deplorable.

[EV_Ares]

88. Yeah, there is the other basket of deplorables, the media.

I really find it difficult how especially cable news is able to stay on the air. I don't know but is there really that many people that watch cable news?

[Cobalt Violet]

90. Haven't had cable in over 10 years.

There is not enough content I care to view despite 200+ channels. I refuse to give $ for right-wing news, religion, and sports. I think there are still too many people watching Fox.

[napkinz]

93. Bill Clinton nails it ...

"My charity helps people, his is used to pay off your attorney general," Clinton said Wednesday in Orlando.

94. Once again proving he is a con. Isn't this man

accountable for anything he does or says? When the hell will the nation as a whole say enough of this reality show?

[napkinz]

121. it falls on the MEDIA to hold him to account

They have failed to do their job. It's time they went after Trump with the same tenacity they have gone after Hillary.

[anneboleyn]

101. The hysteria over HRC's pneumonia is just preposterous. Fox is irresponsibly posing all sorts

of nonsense ideas that bolster the Trump conspiracy theory nonsense, and they keep promoting a RNC talking point that Hillary will not recover from this politically and will need to be replaced (Meghan McCain, who is always on the border of insanity, went on one of her typical rants in which she insisted that the pneumonia diagnosis means that the race is "done&quot . It is frankly disgusting that they are running with Trump conspiracy theories, and that they are pushing idiotic ideas in some lame attempt to scare low-info voters about Hillary's health. They are citing the New York Post as a SOURCE. We all know that Fox is full of shit but this is a new level of shit.

But of course Trump is skating by without releasing his taxes, answering to the very serious questions about the Trump Foundation's abuses, and repeating/retweeting moronic conspiracy theories. His surrogates are allowed to peddle his garbage on CNN and Fox nonstop. There are many Trump supporters who are also weirdly into conspiracy theories (they are of the "9/11 was a false flag," "Sandy Hook never happened and none of those little kids were murdered or even existed," blah blah "they are coming to take our guns" types). There some to be more weirdo conspiracy types these days, and Trump knows how to dog whistle nonsense that appeals to them.

[EV_Ares]

123. They can do this because the republicans stick together while we have those like Axelrod, Tweety &

others in the so-called msm who do exactly what President Obama called them out for today.

Think about it:

Clintons have released all those years of tax returns.

Trump, none.

There has been no findings of any corruption or illegal activity with the Clinton Foundations.

All kinds of allegations with Trump so, talk about perception & illegal activitiy.

There have been no instances or any findings of Hillary attempting to bribe anyone.

Trump, Florida & Texas AGs.

There have been no instances of the Clintons stiffing anybody who has done work for them.

Trump a lot.

The Clintons have never taken bankruptcy.

Trump 3 or 4 times.

I mean especially, CNN keeps talking about transparency. You have one candidate who is transparent & one who is not & it is not that difficult to distinguish which one is not.

[blm]

125. exactly.
