And the rest? In any event, too bad we didn't hear Trump's side of the story.
Wonder why he wouldn't testify? "A video of Donald Trump claiming that only the mob and people who are guilty take the 5th amendment has resurfaced on social media." www.newsweek.com "Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG's civil probe of his business practices" www.nbcnews.com
I must have misunderstood what Trump was saying in that video. Because of my "TDS."
The Dems should definitely listen to what the GOP strategist says!
"Trump Hopes Biden Stays in Race, Changes Tone
Donald Trump hailed Joe Biden as his most dangerous rival in a speech on Friday, in what some see as a bid to stave off having the president replaced with a more formidable opponent."

so a 700%+ markup? #16 | Posted by Tor
I think about a 5,000 percent markup for just labor and ignoring material costs. ($57 labor costs and selling for $2,780). 700% markup would be about $400 sales price. www.omnicalculator.com
But math is hard, so I refuse to stand by my numbers.
This movement picked up steam in June, with creators on TikTok telling followers in no uncertain terms "stop wearing sunscreen."
Lol! I love it! TikTok, the touchstone for all knowledge, whether it be political or scientific.

I am not certain whether this disdainful mind-set says more about the people who have contempt for fashion or the people willing to waste tons of money on narcissistic items such as a $2700 bag. #11 | Posted by moder8
I think it says oodles about the people who spend almost $3K on an item that costs 5% of that to produce. Much like it said much about a culture that spent the cost of a home on a tulip bulb.
The fact that the owner of this company is a billionaire many times over, but the people manufacturing the product earned $2 an hour says quite a bit as well.
But hey, I'm always in favor of people with too much money on their hands spending it. Only wish that it went to those who needed it more, rather than, in this case, the third wealthiest man in the world.
