    Trump campaign asks for cut of downballot candidates' fundraising when they use his name and likeness

    Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has found a new way to press for badly needed cash.

    In a letter received by Republican digital vendors this week, the Trump campaign is asking for down-ballot candidates who use his name, image and likeness in fundraising appeals to give at least 5 percent of the proceeds to the campaign.

    “Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC. This includes but is not limited to sending to the house file, prospecting vendors, and advertising,” Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in the letter, which is dated April 15.

    They add: “Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump’s campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”

    What a contrast between the 2 🤣.  

    He will never be a people's president.   Has no idea how to relate to the common folk. How long has he been in politics again?   Somebody needs to put him down.

    Maybe he can buy a gold toilet?

    well... yeah, pretty much.

    my father was a 'shop teacher' I saw it all firsthand.  it wasn't just college either... apparently we now have a bunch of unemployed $200k p/y IT people to worry about.  

    right @Bontz and @Matt?:thumbsup:

    the first generation Hmong refugee in our area did, they also had fantastic family values and strong sense of community.   the current younger generations have mostly acclimated to acting like every other entitled white person though. 

    Merika!  

    The Vietnamese bought most of the delapated multi family neighborhood homes in Lowell, MA and rehabbed them. They brought their families over eventually.

    We had a Cambodian husband and wife working for us and they both had 3 jobs. Full time with us and 2 part time jobs. Their proudest day was when they became US citizens. 
    Fuckin immigrants.

    Smartest thing I've seen you say....but there is still a housing shortage.

    There’s a root cause of it and my reason for it. The neighborhood I grew up in had about 30 families all parents living together in those homes. Today maybe 5 in the homes are married and the rest of them containing single parents whose spouses live elsewhere taking up scarce living spaces causing the housing shortage.

    Imo there's a lot of people who are afraid to blend in with those in undesirable neighborhoods.  honestly, I had more issues with the white trash in our ghetto than the Asians or people of color.

    Asians work their asses off.

    are there no fixer-uppers in undesirable areas? 

    two things ruined that market imo, house flippers and the 'youth' don't know how to fix anything themselves.  

    dealing with renters in a multifamily complexes it's easy to quickly identify people who should be renters as many don't have a f'ng clue about maintenance, repair, remodeling, etc. of a home.

    IDK if it's the same where you are but we've raised a society of people incapable of doing very little for themselves.

    When your 30 years old and your paying someone to spray for mosquitoes your pretty much a namby pamby LOOZER.

    Like what a townhome or a condo?

    Townhomes are going for 1.2 million and condos for about 900K here.  The math doesn't work anyway you spin it.

    We are much worse than you, but your getting there too.

    The youth are screwed.

    Townhomes and condos are for lazy young people. Monthly dues run 350.00 a month and up.

    Buy a fixer upper and cut your own lawn and save paying your gym dues.

    we will not see 3 without a wholesale crumbling of the economy.   7 is IMO the new normal,  if we get under 6 people should run and grab those rates because its not going to be like it was from 2010-2022 again.  Like anytime in history those who have gathered cash can do well when the economy drops but most of these kids today are not going to do that because the cost of everything is too high.  

    Our first home was at 17.75%. Everyone said that would be the norm.

    good luck finding one the cash flow works with. 

     

    totally different world than when you and i started out.   Your gen and mine destroyed a lot of opportunity for this kids by making them think they are special and playing into their mental issues rather than forcing them to grow up and make hard decisions for the long term good of themselves and society.  We have an education system more concerned with wokeness than teaching life skills from k-college.   we have a Xennial generation who thinks that they should have it all working when they want not putting the time and effot in and busting their ass.   instead of complaining about not being able to make it on what they are making our generations would have gone and worked a second job  or put in OT.  kids today who have any work ethic stand miles above because most do not.  Instead they look to the government for their salvation.  

     

    Maybe not today @7% but down the road when the rate drops back to 3% it will. The tax advantages are great too.

    lol yup. kids today.

    My home growing up had 3, 9x12 bedrooms, 4 boys in one room and 2 sisters in the other. 
    one oscillating fan screwed to the ceiling. No AC, steam radiator in the hall.

    luxurious …lol
    then again we didn’t live in our bedroom. 
     

  10. How about today’s millennial family unit? Husband/wife or girlfriend/ boyfriend procreate. They don’t stay together under the same roof or at all. Dad moves out and splits custody of their 2 kids. Now dd needs a 2 bedroom and mom does to.

    Ya see why there is not a housing shortage but a family unit problem?
