Yes cupcake, Longmire approves this message!  :laugh:




Do you really think that Trump will get that accomplished if the Dems get control of Congress??

The Trump name is not only an albatross around the neck of the Trump enterprises. It's an albatross around the neck of the Republican brand for years to come. Anyone who decides to stay in the Republican party will have to factor in the ridicule and grief that will be aimed at them because of the lack of judgment of the Republican (and Democrat and Libertarian and Independent) voters.

Republicans were mad, so they shot themselves in the foot. Makes perfect sense.

Even more, we don't know what any of those titles actually mean. Are there links to those proposals or are they just titles?

With increasing Orwellian talent in Congress, Any act for the protection of whatever has to be closely scrutinized to ensure it does not do exactly the opposite of what the title might imply.
For instance:

The Affordable Care Act.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well I hope we learn anger doesn't win elections.

Hear! Hear! If ever there was an example of the wisdom of that quote, the 2016 Republican primary and ultimate nominee is it. Perhaps one of our posters with talent in producing graphics can make us a visual for use after the election.

A name change to appeal to millennnials?  Because that will fool the age demographic that least likes Trump?  That makes no sense.  That's not the cohort that can even afford to pay $600+ per night on a hotel room.  This campaign has damaged his brand with the current customer base and this is an attempt to slow the bleeding.

The unpopular new DC location is going for less than the other area "high-end" hotels, about $500 a night according to a report posted here yesterday or whenever.

Yes, I did notice that.  Quite indicative of the damage already done to the brand.

I'm discounting the foursquare "evidence" presented. That app has had it's time and most people have quit using it, so a decline is not exactly news.

Still - Don Manini says that most of his net worth is in the value of his name. Removes his name from his core buisiness.

Did he just admit he's worthless?  :tongue2:

A relative living in the DC area told me people were not too happy that Trump converted the historic post office building into a hotel.  I believe they wanted to preserve the building as an historic landmark and/or  museum. 

That the hotel is failing is probably very sweet to those who opposed it.

It was a beautiful building with a gorgeous interior.  I loved going there. It's a terrible shame.

Just read reviews of the hotel on TripAdvisor.  There are a number of positive reviews, but quite a few rating the hotel as "Terrible."  Seems that most of the complaints were that the hotel was too gaudy and overpriced.

Years ago I had friends visiting NYC from the UK. One of the things they wanted to see was Trump Tower. (To this day I don't know why)

We went inside to the bar and it reminded me of Versailles but of a kitschy Versailles. Too faux ornate for me, but then I thought it might have been designed by someone like Peter Keating, and not by a Howard Roark.

But it was nice to rest my feet and have a Shirley Temple. And harmless flirting with a bartender is always fun when you are in your thirties and single.
