BillStime Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Jon back in the seat during this important election season is a public service. “We have two candidates who are chronologically outside the norm of anyone who has run for the presidency in this country, in the history of this country,” Stewart said of the 81-year-old Biden and 77-year-old Trump. “They are the oldest people ever to run for president — breaking by only four years the record that they set the last time they ran!” Stewart exclaimed. “We’re not suggesting neither man is vibrant, productive or even capable,” Stewart said. “What’s crazy is thinking that we are the ones as voters who must silence concerns and criticisms. It is the candidates’ job to assuage concerns — not the voters’ job not to mention them.” While Biden “isn’t Donald Trump,” Stewart said, mentioning the 45th president’s multiple indictments and legal cases against him, “the stakes of this election don’t make Donald Trump’s opponent less subject to scrutiny.” “It actually makes him more subject to scrutiny,” Stewart said. “If your guy loses, bad things might happen, but the country is not over. And if your guy wins, the country is in no way saved.” “So the good news is: I’m not saying you don’t have to worry about who wins the election,” Stewart concluded. “I’m saying you have to worry about every day before it, and every day after, forever.” link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) John Stewart is a punk and failed movie maker. His crappy movie grossed $3M on a budget of $10M. Must have run out of money.

I can’t believe that guy was stupid enough to go on tv and say that.

This article underlines the significant discrepancy between a property's assessed value, appraised value, and its actual selling price. It's not the same. Trump faced fraud charges for intentionally and consistently misvaluing assets across 23 different properties and other assets. This was done to persuade banks to lend to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms. From 2011-2021, Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization knowingly and intentionally created more than 200 false and misleading valuations of assets on his annual Statements of Financial Condition to defraud financial institutions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the point is everybody does that because we all think our stuff is worth more than they may say it is and when you do that it's up to the bank to send an appraiser to check.

I’m sure they wanted to go after him for years and finally had something to go on. He’s from New York they are from New York they hate him just like most New Yorkers. The lesson, don’t be a dick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you calling the appraiser a liar? John listed his property for sale, and someone purchased it at the asking price. No one compelled the market to accept the value he placed on the property. Does John have a track record of deliberately and regularly mispricing his assets across his real estate portfolio? If so, he should also face prosecution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good. Obama, Hillary and Biden are in NYC today to get millions from NYC elite They are not even close to the same thing? The sale of house compared to going for loans and paying taxes? Weather you think trump should be charged or not is a different story but don’t try to claim they are the same. believe me, if I can sell my house for $600,000 and its worth only $400,000 I will take the larger amount. If someone is willing to pay it that is what it is worth. i was a contractor and some of them work the same way. Guys will charge an arm and a leg for a simple job but some people will pay it. It always amazed me. If there is more to the Stewart thing let me know because I didn’t read up on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why it will fail on appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
