Republican vs Democrat

how you figure? sentencing comes after conviction. you can't be sentenced until you are convicted,

And what happens when Merchan most likely dismisses the case ?

[jackpot269]

Woah pal, I’m not MAGA at all. Have never voted for Clinton, Trump, Biden or Harris. Could truly care less about either party. They have a vice grip on everyone’s brain with their narratives. There are no sides for me… Both have wrecked this country and our culture. Clearly you didn’t read Homie’s comments and entirely missed me being snarky with the comment about gutting things… gutting both parties would be a good start though.

No offense my friend but in my world there is no such thing as trickle down economics or a political savior. Save all the racist undertones also… I’m Hispanic but not your kind of Hispanic if that makes sense. I grew up in the projects in Detroit and mostly everyone I know is dead or in jail, family included. You have no clue about my world view or how I run my business but I will give you a clue…

Back in 2010, I landed $20 million in new business for a marketing firm and they gave me an iPad mini as a bonus. Trickle Down right?! I immediately quit my $150k job and launched my own company on January 1, 2011. I sold everything including my car, condo, all stocks and also cashed out my 401k to get the business going. In that process- I was sued by the firm I left. By time we settled I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, had no income or clients, had about $1200 to my name and went to work over 120 hours a week from 2011-2017. My first billable month was $1200 and we were about bust… I now bill over $1 million a week. I have been acquired twice and in that process also acquired a larger business. As for trickle down- my partners and I bonus 60% of the profit to our people, leave 15% in the business and distribute the rest to ourselves. We have lost one employee in almost 15 years of business and most of the day 1 people are close to being millionaires, received a down payment for their home as a gift, I set up their kids college funds and in 12 cases I sponsored them to become legal citizens. We are not perfect but work to get better every single day. Guess what? No political party, policy or candidate ever did a damn thing to help us. The people with me since day 1 will own the business by 2035. The only 4 requirements to work for my business are:

1. Integrity
2. Courage
3. Accountability
4. Work ethic

We focus on things we control and that’s why we win.

-sorry to the rest of the forum for this long winded shit

That is great, and what a better place this country could be (its already great a lot don't understand that) if more people looked at the world in that view. You value loyalty and hard work and reward your people for it. Great values, thank you for sharing. There is a lot of people in the business world that could learn a lot from you.

Jackpot, credit where credit is due I finally found a post of yours that I agree with!! Kudos

Can a Judge dismiss a case after conviction? I don't know. Either way this one will end up on appeal, regardless of what the Judge does.

Absolutely , and the conviction felon tag goes bye bye .

I have no reason not to believe everything he said. That makes him a great person to work for and probably 1 in 10 million that would do what he has and is doing for his employees. Over and beyond what you would expect. Most fall short, and don't give a shIt about you or your loyalty and hard work.
He worked 120 hour weeks for a long time. something I can respect. I've worked a lot of 80- to 90 hours weeks and 120 is on a whole other level.

Thanks for the kind words jake!

Are you saying the Judge's order can't get appealed? I'm sure he will get out of it, he always does. One of the benefits of being rich in this country.
Thank you Fred.

Absolutely and giving back a large % of profits back to employees builds loyalty and trust as well as production from them.

Appreciate the message. When it comes to business and people my judgement is never clouded. Business and leadership is mostly lonely but you can never lose sight of who you are and the mission. There are 1000’s of small businesses like mine that do great work every single day.

I find it funny when people think all business owners are this class of rich snots making greedy decisions. It’s just not true but there are bad business owners out there who are just short term thinkers.

Everything can be verified and happy to do it. I’m easy to find and many around here know me. I think there are more of businesses and business owners doing things like that than you think. You can’t run a business without great people. All that information wasn’t shared to brag… I just had to respond to the original post in a way that shut down any assumptions on who I am and where I stand.

It’s a no brainer. Builds loyalty, equity, trust and culture. One day some of them will be buying me out with those same dollars. We also aren’t public so that helps

Check out this graph.
Voters who knew the truth about these four things were vastly more likely to vote for Democrats.
It’s a misinformation problem.

I owned a carpet cleaning service from 1997 to 2017. I still worked my "day job" for the benefits and I had a good job I did not want to give up. I had 2 part time guys that helped me, with the carpet cleaning. I did all I could do myself. I didn't pay them by the hour, they got a percentage of gross on the jobs they did. They made good money for part time work. On my regular job I worked 500 to 600 plus OT hours a year, then of course I had a business to run. As you well know you give up a lot when working those kinds of hours. I saw my mom and Dad work their whole lives to pay bills and get by raising 5 kids. I did not want to retire with little or nothing to show for a lifetime of work. The last 30 years I have never had to worry about paying bills. I am far from wealthy but very confrontable.

[seymour]

I hear what ur saying but I don't believe that about Trump - when Trump won in 2016 and Romney went to Bedminister to get Secretary of State job I thought for sure he would get it - Trump laughed at him and said he lost you career insider creep - Trump plays entirely by his own rules

[seymour]

This is life - whenever a decision is made - some people win and some people lose - with Obamacare, I pay $610 per month and they refuse to pay for a cholesterol med that costs $550 per month - that's about $1200 per month for a single person

Comfortable is good. That’s really the goal. We don’t need much at the end of the day. Really the only money I waste is on sports betting! I don’t buy a bunch of material garbage… I do spend a lot of money on travel and experiences with my family though. I’ll end with this, running a business at any level is a lot of work and exhausting. You have to deal with all of it when it’s yours. That’s something that hit me right in the face early on.

I hear the democrats want to abolish the popular vote now.

You appear to be missing the point here.
If this woman is for real, she voted in ignorance for something which is totally contrary to her best interests.
And that's the problem with the massive number of voters who pay no real attention to the news and candidates' policies and then end up suffering from it.

no actually, its you once again who is missing the point. If this women is real LOL, she wouldn't be voting against her best interest. You are insinuating if Trump gets rid of Obamacare he will replace it with something inferior. In fact, even if it was replaced with a better healthcare system, you would deny it and purposely make up reasons as to why. You do this all the time and we can all see your post history.

I hope you didn't take anything I said the wrong way. I don't need any verification, that was what I was saying, you sound very trustworthy to me, and I have no reason to think any different. Nothing but respect. I know a lot of people that are business owners and do very well. Some are really good to their people and some do just what they have too. None that I know has gone as far as you. It's to be respected when you respect the ones, who do good work, and you reward them in kind. I tip my hat.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Anyone think the left buried themselves so badly and became so power hungry and greedy that they FUBARed themselves it is going to take a long time for people to forget? I certainly won't forget anytime soon and I predict that no Dem will be president for at least the next decade.

I could be dead wrong but that is my feeling.

I’m guessing there won’t be much discussion about expanding the Supreme Court for a while .

[ByeShea]

If this woman is for real,

No one thinks these stories are genuine. Over the past 6 months or so, your heroes trotted out so many paid actors to say "I VOTED FOR TRUMP - TWICE - BUT NOW I SEE WHAT A FASCIST HE IS - MUH WIFE AND I ARE NOW VOTING FOR KAMALA"

Net result was:

1) Convinced no one to vote for Kamala

2) Created overconfidence in true believers (like you) that vast swaths of Trump voters would flock to Kamala.

-

Your mass of manic missives are comically tone deaf, bro. To date you don't appear to realize that there was a landslide that buried the shot callers in the Democratic Party. It will be interesting watching the Democrats (and DC itself) sort everything out, but your rehashed and failed talking points? Kinda boring.

I tell you all this with brotherly spirit. MAGA, my friend.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Agreed and they will need a completely new strategy going forward as the people obviously got wise to the BS based on the results of the election that weren't even close. Those with common sense were put through hell and a bizarro world the past 4 years that won't soon be forgotten. It's going to take a long time to get rid of the stink from the Dem experience....

Here is a song dedicated to all you lefties:

We’ve basically been dealing w Obama policy since 2008 outside of 4 Trump years … I wouldn’t be surprised if it went that way for a decade or longer, until the dem party reinvents itself into something more presentable.
